Highlights

Professions

Artisans

• Many new opportunities have arisen for alchemists on the Sword Coast, and as a result, their applications are no longer the most common ones to appear.

Workshop and Quest Flow

• Bolden and Tress now appear in the player's workshop after completing The Grand Upgrade.
• Players can no longer unexpectedly end up in (or intentionally visit) other players' workshops.
• Players can no longer manage to have their own workshops ranked up early by being in someone else's workshop when they upgrade--and, as a result, get stuck in the quest line.
• Players in a broken state can now turn in their upgrade quest.
• Players no longer become stuck in the "Order an item at the Dispatch Board" or "Wait for hte Gathering Task to Complete" steps of the tutorial quest, Running a Workshop.
• Running a Workshop: This quest now recognizes a wider variety of gathering tasks for credit.

Crafting and Crafted Items

• Brightsilver Talisman is now item level 495 at Uncommon rarity, up from 435.
• Recycle: This skill now correctly affects items that have been Ordered. (Note that if it's a repeat assignment, the refunded materials will immediately be used to start another assignment.)
• Supplements no longer sometimes affect multiple repeats of an assignment through a single use.

Exchange

• The Exchange prompt now properly appears if the player has only Bills of Labor in their toolbox.

 

 

 

Release Notes

 

Content and Environment

Acquisitions Incorporated

• Manycoins Bank Heist has been removed from the Random Queue rotation for now.
• Retrieval Operation: The "Talk to Jim Darkmagic" step of this quest no longer automatically completes for players when one player completes it.

General

• Players are no longer blocked from completing the quest Doomguide's Duty and Clockwork Tomb.
• Tomb of the Nine Gods: Players who gain the Temp HP buff in the Avatar Orcus encounter no longer keep it after the encounter ends. (We're looking into other reported issues with this encounter.)

Remaining Known Issues

We know there are more, but here are some of the highlights.

• Acquisitions Incorporated repeatable quests are only repeatable weekly, preventing the player from reaching the campaign currency cap on the first week.
• Companions and Soul Puppets snooze after a while of standing idle; this will be reverted in a later build.
• Cotton Petasos don't hide a character's hair, leading to egregious clipping.
• Crafted capes and mantles currently do not change the character's appearance when equipped.
• Feathered Ilhuilli is lower item level at Uncommon quality than expected. It is currently 455, and will be 515 after this is addressed.
• In French, Lady Begum has a line of voice-over that doesn't make sense in context. This will be updated in a later build.
• Legendary tools for the Gathering profession have Recycle, which doesn't help with Gathering tasks.
• Profession coupons do not currently apply to items in the Professions category.
• Requirements for certain items at the Stronghold Bloomery and Goldsmith structures currently require outdated Masterwork ranks.
• "Second Chances" can be accepted multiple times, though it cannot be completed multiple times.
• Text in certain artisan recruitment packs incorrectly claims the contents will be alchemists. The names of the packs are correct.
• There are two Fleeces. The one from Illusionist's Gambit will be renamed to Enchanted Fleece in a later build.
