RIFT 1.3 Hotfix #4
WORLD EVENT
* The 'Shell' daily quests will be ending with the start of Waves of Madness - Phase 2 on 6/28/11. Don't worry, there are more new quests coming up with the new phase!
* Swift Action will remain completable throughout Phase 2 of Waves of Madness.
* Reduced the level of Abyssal Infiltrators in Sanctum and Meridian to 10.
* Abyssal Runeslayers now drop 10 Rune King Seals rather than 1.
* The rare Rift drops for Waves of Madness now correctly drop only from Rift and Invasion content which is at least green difficulty or higher to your character.
* Something Fishy: Abyssal Infiltrators no longer drop loot so their corpses despawn much more quickly.
* Broken Weapon Fragment: You can now accept the quest from this item even if you are above the quest's level. The various Broken Weapon Fragment items now indicate the quest level in their tooltip.
* The Essences available from the event merchant are now flagged as Unique Equip instead of Unique Equip-Family. You can have more than one of the type equipped as long as they are not identical items.
CHARACTER TRANSFER
* Characters under level 15 may now be transferred off of Trial shards.
* Fixed a rare case where characters could be transferred twice during the 7 day limit when Trial shards were involved.
GENERAL
* The chance for Expert Dungeon bosses to drop Epic quality items has been increased.
* LFG: If a Dungeon instance cannot be properly created for your group, you no longer receive the LFG deserter debuff.
* Iron Pine Peaks: Falling Like Rain: Baris Windblade, Gerlin Windblade, and Archivist Vislin have come out of hiding and will now actually face the Ascended!
* Raid Rifts: Terror of Undeath and Growth of the Aelfwar were not properly awarding Inscribed Sourcestones to Guardian raiders, and have now been fixed. The Inscribed Sourcestones for Raid Rifts are found in the chest that spawns when the Rift is sealed.
* Raid and Expert Rift treasure chests now despawn after 1 hour (up from 20 minutes).
COMBAT
* You can now change targets while stunned or confused - you will still need to wait for the effect to wear off to take new actions.
* PvP: Battlemaster's Brew, Lesser Recon Serum, and Greater Recon Vial can no longer be purged.
* Fixed a bug with pets being unresponsive when on steep slopes.
* Tab targeting order now resets when the current target dies.
* Tab targeting now also works for 'yellow' NPCs that have aggroed you but you have not yet attacked.
JUSTICAR
* Due to the fixes below, characters with soul points spent in Justicar have received a free soul point respec.
* Rebuke: Fixed a bug with how this ability interrupts NPC abilities.
* Commitment: Now requires the proper 25 points spent in Justicar before it can be purchased.
* Righteous Mandate: Will once again correctly trigger when Salvation healing comes from non-Justicar abilities.
* Precept of Refuge: Correctly increases Block chance.
* Doctrine of Authority: Fixed a bug causing this to not trigger melee procs.
RIFTBLADE
* Storm Blade: Fixed a bug causing Storm Blade from multiple Riftblades to overwrite each other.
GILDED PROPHECY [Sliver]
* Uruluuk no longer drops the unused Glyphed Shoulder items.
CRAFTING
* Brew of the Abyssal Apprentice can no longer be Runebroken.
* Heroic Healing Tonic recipe has been fixed so it creates 3 Tonics instead of 1.
UI/SETTINGS
* Bind on Account info now appears properly on item tooltips, and in a different color from the Soulbound text.
* Added more consistent error messages when trying to deposit into a full Guild Bank vault.
* Tightened up the mouseover tooltip area for Target, Target of Target, and Focus Target portraits.
CLIENT/SERVER
* Fixed an issue preventing the game from starting properly when running Wine.
