_____________________


*** Items ***

- Corrected an issue that would cause some items that were casting player-usable spells to block the player from casting the same spell from their spell book until the item recast time was complete.
- Removed weight from all augments.
- Dyn`leth's Spy Glass will power up faster than before.
- Blessed Dust of Tunare and Blue Diamond Powder now stack up to 100.
- Scarlet Legion Command Stone will now give the correct stats.
- Pouch of Goldfire Ore Dust is now tradable on Firiona Vie.
- Akihiro in Stillmoon now drops items when killed.
- Keikolin`s Mindhaze Sleeves now have a chromatic damage focus effect instead of a magic damage focus effect.
- Goru's Girdle of the Deceased now has Improved Parry IV instead of Improved Parry III.
- Increased the damage on Fleshmelter, Lethar's Maul.
- Ice-Striated Iron Orb should now function properly.
- Corrected an issue that would cause backstab damage to be calculated incorrectly if the weapons base damage was too high.


*** Tribute ***

- Higher ranks of tribute and guild tribute are now available.


*** Tradeskills ***

- Changed lightningbane’s recipe to use the correct thickener.
- Many of the tradeskill items introduced in The Serpent Spine expansion should now show up as "combinable" in the bazaar.


*** Quests

- Several of the quests in Ashengate will no longer be blocked by rare spawns.
- Large events in Frostcrypt and Ashengate now yield more tier III spell runes.
- Lorekeeper Fenegar will no longer be giving people diseased fish as a bonus reward for finding lost ancient documents for him. He realized that adventurers don’t really like diseased fish as much as he thought they would. This was an extra reward given out in error. The real reward will still be given out.


*** NPCs ***

- An additional artifact has been found in Direwind that Librarian Hemfar may be interested in.




- The EverQuest Team

I never did figure out what the diseased fish thing was for? lol

It wasnt for anything, was just a weird thing a dev did as a PH and then forgot to undo.

"Well, um...

Oops?

It seems that due to a typographical error, the Ancient Tomes task is giving out Diseased Fish instead of something useful. I'd blame Zajeer, but it's my fault.

I'll fix the reward, but I can't do anything to reward those that completed the task and got themselves a fish. Sorry about that.

"I spoke too soon.

The fish was being given out as an bonus reward!

Basically, I put the fish in there in place of the real reward until that item could be made. Then the item was made and another system was used to give out the reward, but the fish remained. So right now there is a chance that you'll get a fish (it isn't given out every time) along with the augment.

Sooooo... I'll be nerfing that fish! You can throw them away, they don't mean anything.

A"

I wonder how they nerfed AG progression.

I *think* they may have nerfed the dagger of death.Before todays patch magic focus was affecting it,now it isnt.I could be wrong but I'm pretty sure.

I noticed this too, and was talking about it in necrotalk.

The Dagger of Death's clicky does not work with any foci at this time, and it did before the patch. It is, as far as I can tell, the only clicky that we have that doesn't work with its appropriate foci.

I hope this is just a bug, and not a nerf.

Here is the problem according to LUCY (http://lucy.allakhazam.com/itemhistory.html?id=69123)

Live Change History
Source Date Change
Live 2007-01-17 17:56 Changed spellid0 from '4098' to '7260'

It looks like they pooped around with the horror spell ID and now magic focus isnt affecting the dagger.Let's hope they don't have more clicky changes in mind.

They made it from a player spell to a non player spell, so foci no logner work :(

Horror - player cast (http://lucy.allakhazam.com/spell.html?id=4098&source=Live)
Horror - clicky (http://lucy.allakhazam.com/spell.html?id=7260&source=Live)

The cure is worse than the disease!

Merloc(?) changed some spells because an item with a clicky would block the players scribed spells until the item refresh time was met. Although that may have been the case with this spell, would you actually have Horror in a spell gem if you had this clicky? Not sure if I would.....

So now I wonder, does the change to dagger of death make this DoT clicky useable by all classes since you don't have to equip it to click? Or do you have to equip to click?

I see conflicting info on it, Pic from Lucy says must equip to cast, post on Alla say you don't ...
