Patch Notes 1.2 Features

• * Wardrobe slots are now available for you to customize your character's look!
• * You may now purchase a 5th role at your Calling trainer!
• * A “Sliver” is a place where a thin slice of another reality can be seen intersecting with our Telara. The Planar Goods merchants in Meridian and Sanctum now sell the ascended power to view slivers. These new abilities allow you to see things others might not be able to see, and potentially lead to the discovery of the entrance to Gilded Sanctum, a raid instance intended for 10 players.
• * Lures for Crafting Rifts are obtained by completing the new weekly crafting quests in addition to the tradeskill-specific Plaque the quest awards. These Rifts drop raw materials, Augments, and other goodies for crafters.
• * Many bosses have had a pass done to bring them in line with their intended difficulty, and to make them more fun for melee damage characters in general. In a number of cases, some encounters were more challenging than intended. These changes should also help with forming appropriately matched groups through the upcoming Looking for Group system.

GENERAL GAMEPLAY

• * Those who managed to sneak behind enemy lines and complete the introductory artifact collections inside Meridian or Sanctum now have a special reward coming their way!
• * To make Artifact set collecting more fun for more Artifact hunters, rarity rates have been tuned to be less extreme between common and rare Artifacts. We'll be keeping an eye on this through future updates to see if the rates need another boost.
• * Artifacts for the Guardian version of the introduction quest for artifact hunting no longer have a sell value.
• * Markers for completed quests will now always appear on the main map regardless of whether they are currently being tracked in quest stickies.
• * 'Discover' quest objectives will no longer increment while a character is dead.
• * Characters can no longer accumulate multiple daily quests from the same 'group' in their quest journals.
• * For quests requiring you to kill level-appropriate targets, tooltips for mobs of too low level will no longer indicate that they will count for the quest.
• * Reduced Auction House deposit prices by about 25%.
• * You now receive an alert message when reaching a currency cap on your character (ex: Planarite).
• * New clothier NPCs have appeared in Meridian and Sanctum following the rise in numbers of fashionable Ascended.
• * You may now purchase a 5th role at your Calling trainer!

SLIVERS

• * As we all know, Telara’s universe is comprised of a myriad of planes and realities that all intersect with each other and with Telara at seemingly random angles and times.
• * A “Sliver” is a place where a thin slice of another reality can be seen intersecting with our Telara.
• * Some of these slivers are places where planar conflicts may have already been won or lost. Help set things right in other realities, or protect our own from their influence!
• * The Planar Goods merchants in Meridian and Sanctum now sell the ascended power to view slivers - Omen Sight for Guardians and Quantum Sight for Defiants.
• * These new abilities allow you to see things others might not be able to see, and potentially lead to the discovery of the entrance to Gilded Sanctum, a raid instance intended for 10 players.

CRAFTING RIFTS

ROLE/CALLING DISPLAY

• * An icon is displayed to the left of the player's name to indicate their Combat Role.
