Dark Age of Camelot
Test Version 1.68f Release Notes
February 13, 2004
===================================
NEW THINGS AND BUG FIXES
- The pets from the Animist's Constraining Spirit line should now attempt to root the targets in the area even if they are already rooted.
- EDIT, 2:28 PM EST: Forest's Core, in the Animist's Creeping Path base line, should no longer be instant casting its spell; it should now have a three second cast time.
- The Elder Sporespawn, in the Animist's Creeping Mastery spec line, should now hit its target appropriately.
- The Dancing Flame spell line, in the Animist's Creeping Mastery spec line, should now fire on its target appropriately, even if the target already has the effect.
- Theurgist and Animist pets will no longer cast an effect graphic on the caster's current target.
TRIALS OF ATLANTIS OBJECT CHANGES
- Standard item drops (items not created by the unique item generator) will now have reduced haste, damage, and range bonuses. This adjustment includes the following: melee haste, archery haste, spell haste, melee damage, style damage, archery damage, spell damage, archery range, and spell range. Along with this change, other bonuses on each item have been increased to retain the value of the item. This change applies for new item drops and any items received prior to this version. For more information on this change, please go to http://www.camelotherald.com/more/1329.shtml
CLEARING COMPLETED QUESTS
- To address the issue of players maxing out their completed quest list, we have done two things. First, we have added the ability for players level 26 and over to clear out specific quests from their completed quest list. Currently a selection of quests that fall in the level 1 to 15 range will be cleared with the exception of guild track quests from levels 7 to 50. To clear a quest, speak to one of the "Quest Journalists" scattered throughout the land and they will search through all your completed quests and delete any quest that matches their list of quests and delete them for you. On Gaheris and Mordred, players may speak to any Quest Journalist, not just the one from their realm to have quests deleted.
- The second thing we have done is added a maximum level cap to the level 1-15 quests that can be cleared. The cap is 10 levels over the starting level of the quest. So if a quest can be received at level 15, only players level 15 through 25 can obtain this quest. This will prevent players from repeating quests once they have been deleted from their completed list. The exception to this rule is the level 1 through 4 trainer quests, which have been capped at level 5. These quests do not affect players beginning their guild track quests at level 7. Also, the guild track quests do not have a maximum level cap.
- Please note that this is only for quests you have previously completed. Once they have been cleared, you will not be able to do the quest again. Quests that you still have pending in your journal cannot be cleared by a Quest Journalist. Quest Journalists can be found at the following locations:

TRIALS OF ATLANTIS WORLD NOTES
Aerus Encounters
- We have fixed a bug that could cause Katri to become unkillable if her personal guard was killed before reinforcements came.
Temple of Twilight
- Antioos will only give players the 'Tasks for Antioos' quest once now. If players have received the quest more than once, it will be removed from their pending list when they receive credit for killing Medusa.
Deep Volcanus
- We have fixed an issue where the Katorii encounter could get stuck if an entire raid were to die or leave the dungeon before killing Katorii.
Bracelet of Zo'karat (All Realms)
- We have fixed a bug that was allowing all classes to obtain this item, although it is intended for pure casters and healing classes only. A requirement has been added to the Bracelet so that only pure casters and healing classes may equip it. Additionally, only pure casters and healing classes may activate this artifact from now on. Any class that had previously activated the Bracelet of Zo'karat and now cannot use it may return it to one of the following researchers and receive their locked artifact and book back so that they may be traded or sold to another.
Albion - Scholars Margoria or Colene
Midgard - Loremistress Tyraa or Loremaster Torolf
Hibernia - Sages Darragh or Kelleigh
Traldor's Oracle (All Realms)
- We have fixed a bug that was allowing all classes to obtain this item, although it is intended for pure casters and Friars only. Any class that previously activated Traldor's Oracle but cannot use it may return it to one of the following researchers and receive their locked artifact and book back so they may be traded or sold to another. Only pure casters and friars may activate this artifact from now on.
Albion - Scholars Margoria or Colene
Midgard - Loremistress Tyraa or Loremaster Torolf
Hibernia - Sages Darragh or Kelleigh
Aten's Shield (All Realms)
- We have replaced the Golden Flames proc on Aten's Shield with a damage shield. The Golden Flames spell was, under certain cases, causing players to not receive credit for completing encounters. We will be adjusting the spell in a future patch to give this shield a more appropriate ability.

COOPERATIVE & PVP SERVER
Artifacts and Researchers
- There was a bug that was allowing players on Gaheris and Mordred to turn in certain locked artifacts to other realms' researchers. Because the researchers are set up to only deal with their realm's players, they would not accept the completed book from players of other realms. This left these players thinking they were now stuck, their artifact gone, and the activation quest pending. Players in this situation should take their completed book to their realm's researcher and turn it in to receive their activated artifact. From now on, players on Gaheris and Mordred will only be able to turn in their locked artifacts to their own realm's researchers.
