0.30.3.2 - Module 1 Patch 12

• Deep Gnome Bard is coming soon, we are currently testing it internally.
• We will be restoring all missing crates in houses, inn rooms, and stalls. The fix last time was temporary. We have a permanant fix for it this time.
• This patch includes heavy optimizations on the server side. We have done as much testing as possible on them. If we find that there are bugs or regressions, we may revert this patch temporarily. This will require you to redownload the client to move back to 0.30.2.6.
• We will also be doing the refunds for any scrolls you were overcharged for during the first week of Early Access. You will find that coin in your bank when you log in again.

Archer

• Set required level on Schematics for learnable trap skills, to help prevent purchasing them before you are able to use the granted ability.
• You'll now receive a message when you've been in Sniper's Blind long enough to receive an ambush bonus on Piercing Strike.
• Fixed a timing issue with the ambush bonus on Piercing Strike — this should now apply reliably after the 3s of being hidden.
• Sniper's Blind no longer shares a cooldown with racial Hide abilities.
• Disengagement now applies the dethreat in a pbe around the caster, and will not aggro non-aggressive NPCs. You no longer need a target to use Disenagement.

Bard

• Thunderous Vocalization has had a token base damage bump (from 38 to 42) as it was set to the previous tier value. These damage values will receive a more thorough review in the future.
• Unifying Anthem is no longer sold by merchants. This ability had a price set to discourage use until issues could be resolved with it, but now is just no longer sold (for now, anyway).

Beastmaster

• New Beastmasters will now start with scrolls of Revive Companion and Call Companion.

Cleric

**Cleric HP buff spells**

• Cleric HP buff spells (Resilience, Resolution, Hymn of Resilience/Resolution) increase the max health of your target, and also provide a small heal to top them up when their max HP goes up from the buff.
• This is not intended to be a healing spell, but the heal was providing more value than expected.
• Heals from these spells now heal for exactly the amount of the max HP buff (500 points at level 60) and the heal portion no longer scales with Wisdom.
• Additionally, if you refresh this buff on a player who's recently received it, it will refresh the max HP bonus duration as expected, but the free heal will not be applied if they've recently got one from this buff.

**Blessing of Devotion spells**

• These also increase your target's maximum HP when applied, and courteously heal them back up for the amount their max HP went up.
• This initial heal on cast no longer scales with Wisdom and now matches the HP buff exactly. So if the Blessing spell increases max HP by 100, it also heals the target for 100 when cast.
• Any other effects on this spell are unchanged and work as they did before.

Inquisitor

• Aura of Resistance now includes a 10% bonus to generated threat (comparable to the defensive stance/aura of other tanks).

Monk

• Slow Breathing is no longer incorrectly flagged as outdoor-only.

Ranger

• Recuperate limitations have changed to provide a better play experience.
• Recuperate is meant to be an out-of-combat rest around the campfire for you and your group.
• Rangers cannot cast Recuperate while in combat, and party members will not receive the Recuperate buff if they are in combat when the spell is cast.
• Anyone with a Recuperate buff active will lose it if they enter combat. This could be from taking an aggressive action against an NPC, helping a player in combat with a buff or heal, or having an NPC run up and attack you.
• There are no longer any other limitations on Recuperate, and you do not need to remember to remove the buff yourself if you get into combat.

Rogue

• You'll now receive a message when you've been in Stealth long enough to get an ambush bonus on your backstab.
• Class trainers will now allow you to train Lockpicking (up to 10 skill).
• Poisonous Spider Venom Sac can now be used in Poison Making.

Shadow Knight

• Fixed Lord of Shadows buff description text to properly notate affected stats.
• Fixed Shadow Strike not properly extending the duration of the Shadows line.
• Lord of Shadows buff now properly grants HP.
• Recasting the Palpitation DoT line will now overwrite and reset the DoT instead of extending it.

• Fixed abilities marked as uninterruptible (such as Reave [SHD] or Chop [BST]) being interrupted by taking hits in combat. These abilities should only be interrupted if stunned or kicked/bashed during the wind-up.
• Channeled abilities will now set cooldowns when the channeling starts, not when each tick of the ability is performed. This addresses an ability not being usable right when the visual cooldown appears to have elapsed. This affected abilities such as Strafing Barrage [ARC].
• Fixed the end-of-cast animation sometimes interrupting a channeling animation.
• Fixed increasing a buff's remaining duration and reducing its duration past expiration.
• Replacing a stacked buff with a stronger version no longer triggers the replaced buff's cast-on-expiry effects or an extra tick from the overwritten buff.
• Threat-reducing abilities can reduce existing threat without generating new aggro.
• Corrected vertical limits for social aggro.
• Fixed area-effect range and target-selection issues, duplicate target application, and cone line-of-sight filtering.
• Fixed archery weapons with missing ammunition settings defaulting incorrectly; these weapons now use arrows.
• NPCs attacked by a guard no longer provide experience, loot, coins, or pickpocket rewards for the remainder of that spawn's lifetime.
• Hardcore titles change with certain level ranges.
• Buffs will no longer gain a bonus tick when being overwritten.

**PvP /who adjustments**

• Fixed /who bugs and exploits.
• Also made it so /who once again no longer shows current zone player count.
• The reason for this adjustment: after some further playing and testing, we are finding even allowing player counts on /who to still cause behavior not beneficial to a healthy and engaging PvP environment.

**Other PvP changes**

• Adjusted various CC PvP durations.
• Adjusted various PvP FFA volumes, added some new ones.

• New cash loot items have been added broadly to common creatures, so more of them provide good value when you kill them.
• Creatures only carry body parts which can be sold to merchants, but now have better coverage across levels and creature types. More creatures should give valuable item drops than did previously.
• Humanoids have a mix of coins and cash loot, as they have in the past. However, cash loot coverage is on more humanoids now and should provide more consistent value.

• Snitch-Seeking Shaft Shooter now works correctly as a bow.
• Armor, Weapon, and Shield item weights have been updated across the game — items from early game sources will generally be lighter than before, while items from later game sources can be heavier.
• Armor Weight Reduction buffs reduce the carried weight of equipped cloth, leather, chain, and plate armor. They do not reduce the weight of weapons, shields, accessories, or armor carried in bags.

• Fixed zero-skill recipes sorting to the bottom of merchant listings.
• Replaced a broken loom and fixed the Smoking Cauldron.

• Merchants no longer restock items that are not permitted for resale.

• Nametag selection areas now face the camera correctly.

Party name colors

• In an effort to make it easier to find your party members in busy cities or active zones, we've changed the color of the names over their heads while grouped.
• Updated the name bars of party members to pink while you are grouped with them.
• This also includes pets of party members.
• While solo, if you have a pet then its name will appear as pink to you.
• Additionally, party members, pets, and your pet have an increased visibility distance so you can be farther away and still see their names.
