Patch Notes: Version: NW.125.20210330b.10

By Julia (nitocris83) | Wed 28 Apr 2021 07:38:51 PM PDT

Binding Change!

Rings from Sharandar content are now Bind to Account on Pickup, instead of Bind on Equip. These items will become bound when this build goes live (or, if not immediately, next time they’re moved), so if you wish to trade or auction them, this is your last chance!

 

 

Release Notes

 

Events

April Fowls

  • Chickens in the distance, in the last area of the Sewers Most Fowl mini-dungeon, should no longer show strange wing clipping artifacts, next time this event runs.
  • Crown of the Concussed now properly shows its effects on dragonborn characters.
  • Fight of the Fowls should no longer reset standard PvP leaderboard stats. 
  • Ring of Fowl Weather no longer incorrectly hits a second time for 1 damage.
  • Rover’s fire patch should more consistently show up next time this event runs.

Hell Pit

  • Hell Pit no longer has an item level restriction.
  • Characters and enemies are now scaled up to 40,000 Item Level. Characters above this item level are not scaled down; please feel free to rip and/or tear as desired, until the event is done.
  • Currencies granted by this event have been updated to match the updated event store shared by this event and Harvester of Nightmares.
  • Legendary Insignia Choice Pack now properly shows that it’s bound to account on pickup.
  • Players who participated in previous runs of Hell Pit should properly be able to participate in this run.
  • The exit portal now properly returns players to an appropriate location in Protector’s Enclave.
  • The personal quest for Hell Pit should now properly auto-drop when the event ends.
    • Known issue: The quest does not drop if players have it in a completed state. We do not recommend trying to get a head start on future runs of this event in that way, because it will not allow more than 21 daily completions per event.
  • There should no longer be a chance for players to lose the ability to participate in this event, if they drop the quest in certain unexpected ways.
    • Known issue: If a player accepts the Hell Pit quest, then deletes the character before they complete it and turn the quest in, they will be unable to accept the quest on any other character on the account.

Calendar

  • The event calendar has been updated through late May. As always, event timing is subject to change.
