1.85b On Pendragon

Version 1.85b Release Notes for the Pendragon test server from the Herald:
NEW THINGS AND BUG FIXES

 - The autoloot radius has been increased.

 - In order to reduce confusion and possible accidental flag state changes, the "/xpoff" command is now obsolete. It has been replaced with the "/xp" command. This command takes one parameter, "ON" or "OFF". Typing "/xp OFF" will disable gaining experience for your character. Typing "/xp ON" will re-enable the gaining of experience. Typing "/xp" with no parameters will display the current state of this flag ( ON or OFF ), it will not change the state.

 - In order to reduce confusion and possible accidental flag state changes, the "/rpoff" command is now obsolete. It has been replaced with the "/rp" command. This command takes one parameter, "ON" or "OFF". Typing "/rp OFF" will disable gaining realm points for your character. Typing "/rp ON" will re-enable the gaining of realm points. Typing "/rp" with no parameters will display the current state of this flag ( ON or OFF ), it will not change the state.

 - A correction has been made to the autoloot message when the option is turned off. It used to say, "Use '/autoloot off' to turn this option off." Now it says, "Use '/autoloot on' to turn this option on."

CLASS SYSTEM CHANGES AND FIXES

Left Axe Changes

 - (Pendragon Only) Decaying Rage has been appropriately adjusted to be a 5-second stun.

Master Level Ability Changes

Sojourner

 - (Pendragon Only) Forceful Zephyr now has a range of 1000 units.

Class Changes

Bainshee

 - Bainshees may now be interrupted while casting spells from the Deafening Screech spell line of taunt spells.

 - The Audible Barrier line of group pulsing ablative auras no longer absorbs 100% of each hit. The spells will now absorb damage up to 50% of each individual hit.

Druid

 - We've added two new spells to the Druid's Nature affinity spell line.

32 Nature Affinity Spec. "Call Greater Nature Tree"
45 Nature Affinity Spec: "Call Elder Nature Tree"

These tree pets should be functionally identical to the Bear Pet received at the same level. This is a cosmetic change with one minor difference. The Bear pet casts a disease spell called "Rabies,” but the tree will cast a spell called "Spore Cloud.” They should be identical disease spells with a different name and spell effect. The trees should also have a randomized model when summoned.

Hunter

 - Hunter pets added in 1.85a should no longer trigger reactive armor procs. (Pendragon Only)

 - The Wild Spirit line of pet cast Str/Con buffs is now instant cast, and the duration has been increased to 20 minutes.

Paladin

 - The Paladin's Barrier of Faith spell line and Celerity spell line will no longer share the same recast timer. Because of this change, the single magical resist chants will now share two timers. The Body, Spirit, and Energy chants will share one timer, and the Heat, Cold and Matter chants will share a second timer.

TRADESKILL NOTES
General Changes and Fixes

 - The Alchemy weak essence of weariness recipe will now properly accept the greater enervating poison ingredient.

Basic Crafting

 - Chain and Scale recipes in Basic Crafting will no longer require the use of liners.

Multiple Charge Potions

 - All existing Alchemy potion recipes are now set up to create 3-charge potions. Please note that any potion created before this patch will not be affected. New potions created with these recipes will have the appropriate number of charges.

 - We have added 6-charge and 9-charge recipe versions for each Alchemy potion. Alchemists will now have the option to create a 3-charge, 6-charge, or 9-charge version of each of their potions.

 - Due to changing the potions to be multi-charge potions, newly crafted potions can no longer be sold to an NPC vendor.

 - The recipes in Alchemy have been reorganized to fit the multi-charge potion recipes more cleanly into the recipe list.

Alchemy Potion Changes

 - The durations for the Strength, Fortitude, Dexterity, Enlightenment, Might, Deftness, Shard Skin, and Speed potions have been increased from 10 minutes to 20 minutes.

Specialty Armor Recipes

 - We have added new level 51 armor recipes for Tailoring and Armorcrafting. Each armor piece has a predefined bonus in imbue slot 5. Players will be able to create these items and spellcraft in the four available imbue slots. The predefined imbue slot does not use any imbue points that would be used for spellcrafting purposes.

 - The armor pieces have Trials of Atlantis armor textures (from Stygia, Volcanus, and Aerus sets).

 - The recipes for the specialty armor pieces will require a dropped component that can be found on high-level monsters and boss monsters in classic, Shrouded Isles, and New Frontiers zones (including Passage of Conflict).

 - For more information on the predefined bonuses and armor pieces available from the new Specialty recipes for Armorcrafting and Tailoring, please visit http://www.camelotherald.com/article.php?id=211
