The release notes for Monday’s Update 14.1 are now available on the official fourms.
Here are some highlights :
Fangorn changes
Based on player feedback we have made the following changes to the Fangorn dailies and barter costs.It no longer takes Quickbeam 18 hours to ponder events. It is now a few seconds. He is a very hasty Ent.
Cosmetic Pet Huorns are now available for barter for 375 Fangorn Leaves each.
Rare Gear recipes now cost 70 leaves down from 100
Incomparable Gear recipes now cost 210 leaves down from 400
I for one have never done done any of these quests, as I thought the 18 hour cool down was insane. I might go back and do this at least once now.
There are two versions of the Sturdy Steel Key, one that is bound to the character and one that is not. They are two different items and cannot be stacked together. For the key that is bound to the character, the name and description for the key has been updated so that players can now see the two keys are different items.
Look for a massive influx of keys are your AH soon!
Skirmishes
The cost of all rewards and skirmish traits have been lowered between 20%-50%. Generally. The highest level rewards and traits have seen the greatest cost reduction
The LI barter NOC has been reorganized. Offers for First Age Symbols have been combined into one group. Duplicate offers have been removed.
The Level 100 Blemished Symbol of Celebrimbor now requires 1 Seal to purchase along with the appropriate marks and medallions.
Level 65 and 75 First Age Tokens have been added to the IA barter NPC at Skirmish camps.
Good to see Level 100 Symbols are available.. Time to start grinding those marks and medallions!!
Items
The Universal Solvent has been updated to now include an auction house category. It will appear when searching Crafting and/or Component.
The Legendary Item Services item has been updated to have a min usage level of 51. This is to resolve an issue with this item producing the intro-to-Item Advancement items for level 50 players, which have only 15 level of advancement.
Can’t wait to see what the solvent is going to sell for on the AH
Champion, Guardian, Minstrel, Warden are getting a few changes as well.
Also, there are some adjustments being made to PVMP
You can read the full notes here.
And the most cryptic of all the notes is
- Soon has arrived.
Hmmm what’s the point of the 1 seal ? So you have to do one raid skirmish or something ?
I’ve done Fangorn before and after the patch. The quest that gives the gift box we can do in one day now which is nice. BUT there is 5-6 groups of quests where we pick up moss and put them over the seed.
The level 100 symbol and scroll to add 10 levels to the LI are really expensive. But if we now get to keep our LI’s, it’s worth it for me.
