Game Patch Info For Dec. 5th
We had a few changes to go along with the Bard and Tradeskill item updates.
Here are the specifics:
12/05/03
Plate Item Change:
Several pieces of Bard armor conformed to the Tank Plate standard and the AC was quite out of line with what was intended. This problem stems from confusion over Bards from EQ on the PC (where Bards wear plate). To correct this we have made changes to the following items:
Tradeskill crafted Plate armors are no longer Bard wearable.
The following items have been changed to be No Trade. These item no longer drop in game. Changed versions of these items replace their former drop locations with items that are no longer Bard useable:
Forestal Greaves, Gauntlets Helm and Breastplate
Coldsteel Bracers, Helm, Boots, Breastplate, Gauntlets and Greaves
Iron Krombak Helm and Bracers
Fired Clay Breastplate, Bracers, Greaves and Helm
Tae Ew Banded Helm, Tunic, Greaves, Boots Gauntlets and Bracers
Cazicite Crusader Kite, Bracers, Breastplate, Greaves and Helm
Tree Burning Gauntlets, Cloudsong Breastplate, canary leggings, rusty platemail bracers, truesteel helm, acid etched bracers, lightfire greaves, antique breastplate, riveted barbute, ironclad boots, runic plated belt, Reinforced Krombak Shield, Battered Krombak Shield, Gauntlets of Kromise Might, Quartzite Tae Ew Bracers, opaque gauntlets, rathesteel plated bracers, dragonbone barbute, serrated chestplate
Tradeskills:
Due to the nature in which HoT and PoT stack, the tradeskill crafted items that have these effects were not desirable over other items found in the game. To make them more attractive, we have removed these effects and changed the stats of the jewelry crafting products made from: Ruby, Emerald, Sapphire, Star Ruby, Fire Emerald, Black Sapphire, Diamond, and Blue Diamond.

Necromancer Class Mastery Unholy sacrament corrected to upgrade the lvl 55 pet
