Hi Adventurers,

Over the past months, our team has taken several actions to combat botting in Neverwinter. One aspect that several players have identified as needing to be addressed is that of skill nodes. Based on community feedback, and in our continued effort to take action against botting, we are removing refinement item drops from skill nodes.

Because these items are important to players, we did not want to remove them outright. Instead, they will be more available through playing content. Most critters in the world will now have an increased chance to drop Enchantments and Runestones.

For those looking to utilize skill nodes for something beyond professions, we are increasing how often they drop Insignias. Insignias are used in the recently improved mount system that was part of the Neverwinter: The Maze Engine expansion. In addition to being available in skill nodes, bound, uncommon Insignias will now have a chance to drop from most critters. Both of these updates will give adventurers more options to further customize their mounts.

As always, we look forward to feedback from the community. These changes will be coming to PC soon and will arrive on Xbox One at a later date.
