Patch Notes 20/DEC/18

  • Clarification: The reason global rite spells may be seen frequently for a time:
    • This was caused by a large pool of favor being accrued from Rite of Spring not being cast for a long time. Once the changes came through, the restrictions required in order to cast it were loosened. This meant that players were able to cast several times in succession.
    • This may occur a few more times on other servers, but afterwards the favor of the deity will be drained and it will not be able to be cast again until the requirements are met again.
    • This isn’t a bug but instead a side effect of the changes being made without clearing the existing favor of deities.
  • Change: Chicken Coops can now be secured.
  • Bugfix: Containers placed on objects will now display the close animation when the X is used to close the window.
  • Bugfix: Dragging a group of tacklebox items into a container slot should no longer give an error.
