Added a wider range of weapons to the Epic Planar Goods vendors.
Manastones have been fixed so they correctly apply their bonus to your maximum mana.
Improved the way we count how many items are currently equipped in an item set.
Ancient Murdantix Spawn [Item]: The mount item is no longer Unique, meaning you can properly acquire and trade or sell additional 'Murdantii' after you've collected one yourself.
Blighted Champion Crystal: The set bonuses on this crystal were accidentally set to the wrong order - the 2 piece bonus is now the 4 piece bonus, and vice versa.
Dusty Treasure Hunter's Satchel can no longer be sold on the Auction House.
Nyx's Archon Crystal: Fixed a bug where the buff would not be removed when the Crystal was unequipped. Also fixed Elemental pets triggering the 2-piece bonus effect. Description has been updatede to help clarify that only Undead pets trigger the effect.
Nyx's Pyromancer Crystal: The 2-piece set bonus now increases the chance for Fireball to leave a Combust DoT effect on the target by 10%, and increases the damage done by the Combust DoT by 40%. The 4-piece bonus causes Heat Wave to increase Fire damage by 20% while active, increases the duration of Heat Wave by 5 seconds, and reduces the cooldown by 15 seconds.
Sanctum's Word: Now with Spell Power.
Shadepiercer Bow: Updated icon and equipped renderable.
Voucher: Crystal Sourcestone will now give Inscribed Sourcestones rather than Crystal Sourcestones (which are no longer used).

Clarified the description of the Apprentice/Journeyman/Dedicated/Artisan/Supreme Harvester Achievements to specify that only Mining and Foraging count for 'harvesting'.
The recipe for Polished Shadethorn Lumber now properly uses Sagebrush Timber instead of Sagebrush Lumber.
You can now mine Earth Elemental, Oreling, and Golem corpses.
You can now forage Treant and Bogling corpses.
Thwarting Runes will no longer display as 'Thwarting Cipher' when applied to an item.
Heroic Healing Tonics and Bright Surge Vials no longer share the same icon.
Recipe: Sacred Fetish now requires 280 skill to learn, which matches the skill required to craft it.
Light Magenta Dye is now crafted at a level that gives skillups at the point you are able to learn the recipe.

Improved and optimized some surfaces for players using the low-quality renderer mode for better visuals!
Improved reflections added to many kinds of water in the game (for high-graphics settings), and improved the coloring when looking down into the water, especially in shallow areas.
Sanctum outdoor music now plays more often.
General area music should kick back in more reliably after exiting combat.
Fixed the Spindrel mount's footstep audio not playing correctly.
More swimming camera work - can now swim up easier when the camera is at the sea floor level, smarter character-hiding logic when the camera gets very close to your character, and now treats the top of the water like ground and will pitch appropriately.

Changed setting window text for "Show Only my Buffs" to refer to party members instead of "on the target", as it was described incorrectly.

Porticulum locations now appear on the world map once discovered.
Fixed the scrolling reset to the top of the list in the Guild UI whenever the data is refreshed.
Trying to link items in a Raid Warning no longer displays box characters.
Fixed a case where the Healer role icon on a group member's portrait would disappear after rearranging the group order.
RiftConnect: Sending and receiving Twitter messages including the '=' character works properly again!
The 'Daily Limit' number shown on the quest log should now properly update each time a repeatable quest is turned in.
Fixed a rare case where an incorrect tooltip would show up on Role icons.
Characters level 6 and below who have not spent their Soul Points will have a reminder pop-up of the Soul Tree UI once per play session while out of combat. Those points are important, use 'em!
Added a bunch of new loading screen tips to highlight new features!
Fixed Party and Pet raid frame locations being labeled backwards in the Edit Layout mode.
Quest tracker should be less likely to overlap other quests on your screen.
