GENERAL

• * Planar Essences purchased from vendors can no longer be Runebroken or Salvaged, in line with the general case of vendor purchased items not being able to be broken down.
• * LFG Group leaders using raid frames can no longer move players outside of Group 1.
• * Quickening Brews now work on their correct cooldown groups. Quickening Brews now have a duration of 5 seconds.

SOULS

RIFTBLADE

• * Elemental Touch: Fixed a recently introduced bug that caused this ability to be enhanced by other abilities that should not have been increasing its damage.

PVP

• * Favor, Notoriety, and quest credit for PvP Rifts are only granted to players who are still in the PvP Rift's zone at the time it is closed.
