Namplates!
- We’ve been working behind the scenes on a highly requested UI feature – Nameplates allow you to easily see the status of those around you while keeping your eyes on the fight!
- By default, nameplates will replace the old health bars and appear above yours and your target’s heads while in combat.
- We have a wide variety of settings, so customize to your heart’s content by going to Settings -> Interface -> Nameplates. You can swap between your customized settings and the default with Shift+V.
- The options also allow you to turn the system off entirely, if desired.
- Name colors can be customized in the Name Colors tab.
World Event
- Increased the drop rate for Power Cells while on the quest Parcels through the Cracks.
Crafting/Items
- The fishing artifact 'Trophy Stillmoor Devil' is now fishable in Stillmoor!
- The description of all fish has been updated with the water depth and locations where they can be found.
- Abandoning the 300 Skill Crafting Daily Quest will no longer remove the crafted items from your bags. However, you cannot have more than 4 of these items at any one time.
- Mathosian Longbow daily quest recipe now correctly requires a Workbench instead of the Forge.
- All Planar Attunement Tier 2 item enchants now require a lvl 50 item. Several runes now require items to be level 50 when applied.
Infernal Dawn
- Maklamos the Scryer:
- Removed the cast time from an interruptible ability used by the three Juggernaut golems – if interrupted, it would cause them to become active with a higher health value than intended.
- Failing to “solve” the Crystal Essences now triggers the intended consequences instead of no consequences.
- Reduced agro range and moved his encounter wall up the hallway a bit.

- Iron Wrath can no longer be avoided by moving further than 30m away.
