Durability

Item durability costs have been greatly decreased for Superior (blue) and Epic (purple) items.


Improved Unstuck

We've added an auto-unstuck feature that you can use prior to petitioning a GM. You can use this feature in situations where you are caught in a part of the terrain and cannot get out. You can find the unstuck option by clicking on the "Help Request" button found on the bottom right hand side of the user interface.


Spirit Healer

Using the Spirit Healer now results in a 25% loss in durability for a player's equipped gear and items in inventory, instead of the previous 100% loss. The length of resurrection sickness suffered from using the Spirit Healer has also been decreased to a maximum of 10 minutes.


Reagents

Reagent requirements have been removed from the following spells:

- Druid: Mark of the Wild

- Mage: Arcane Intellect

- Priest: Power Word: Fortitude


General Changes


General
