Updates
Fixes, additions, and improvements shipped to IceDNicco.
The warrior, rogue, shaman and mage on the Skyborne isle had a trainer flag but no lesson list, so a character could not learn from them. They now teach the same class spells as the city trainers. Characters are unchanged. The client stays 1.60.1.70338.
City trainers now teach 47 new Forever recipes. Leatherworking has 12, alchemy, blacksmithing and tailoring have 9 each, mining has 3, engineering has 2, and enchanting, herbalism and skinning have 1 each. Every trainer of that profession in the cities teaches them. Recipe scrolls sold for Merchant Favor stay at the trade camps. Characters are unchanged. The client stays 1.60.1.70338.
The ForeverBots window (/fb) and .bot add worked only for a GM. A normal player saw a usage line with summon alone, and no bot was created. Every player can now add, call, summon, dismiss, save and delete their own bots. A new bot is yours, comes in at your level and joins your group. In the open world you can have 5 of your own companions out at once. .bot world and the battleground test commands stay GM-only. The client stays 1.60.1.70338.
Level 1 bots were running through every zone. A world bot under level 10 now stays put until it is given a proper level, and is then placed in a fitting area. Skyborne of levels 1 to 9 stay on Zephras Isle and quest there. Broken level 1 records that filled the bot roster, and so stopped new residents from appearing, were taken out of that roster. Real player characters are unchanged. The client stays 1.60.1.70338.
The chat line that a friend came online showed "] [ ( )" instead of a name. A space in Name Surname split the link. It now shows the character: the first name in brackets, and the full name beside it. Relog to see it. Characters are unchanged. The client stays 1.60.1.70338.
A set of unique quest items was still on a 40% placeholder, so they often did not drop. They now drop every time while that objective is still incomplete. The head of Garrick Padfoot, for the Northshire quest, is one of them. Quests that ask for several of the same item are unchanged. Characters are unchanged. The client stays 1.60.1.70338.
Sending a letter or adding a friend failed when the character has a surname. The 1.60 client sends the given name and the surname as two fields, and the server was reading them as one. Mail and the friends list accept Name Surname again. Characters are unchanged. The client stays 1.60.1.70338.
White melee was already the classic hit. Special attacks were still adding retail attack power on top, so a high-level creature special hit far too hard. That extra attack power is no longer applied. Spell damage was already put back to the vanilla numbers. Characters are unchanged. The client stays 1.60.1.70338.
Thrown weapons were treated as melee. They count as ranged weapons again, including auto shot and the ranged weapon rules. Characters are unchanged. The client stays 1.60.1.70338.
Leveling up below 15 was wiping talent points, because a retail tree does not open until then. Classic 1.60 now gives a talent point from level 10. The Talented legacy perk can start that earlier. Characters are unchanged. The client stays 1.60.1.70338.
Ranking votes are credited again. A confirmed vote adds 10 Vote Points (VP), once per site every 22 hours. In the account cabinet, exchange 10 VP for 1 Donate Point (DP). TopG votes that had not been credited were returned to those accounts as VP. Donate Points already received for votes on the other sites stay. Vote Points can still be spent in the shop.
Class introductions for the new Skyborne races now open only for the matching class. A mage can no longer take the hunter, rogue, shaman or druid lesson, and the same lock applies to warrior, priest, warlock and paladin lessons. Racial ley-line and Skysight quests stay available to every Skyborne. A quest already in your log stays until you abandon it. Characters are unchanged. The client stays 1.60.1.70338.
Creature spells were hitting harder than they should. Legacy spells now use the original vanilla damage, healing and absorb values. Flamestrike from the Defias Evoker is 76–88 again instead of 479. Characters are unchanged. The client stays 1.60.1.70338.
Class trainers now teach the official spell lists. Hunters can learn Aimed Shot rank 1 from a trainer, and the new Counterattack rank is on the level 30 list. Fresh sniff data for creatures, maps and quest levels is in. Characters are unchanged. The client stays 1.60.1.70338.
Quest 5441 (Lazy Peons) now counts a sleeping peon when you wake it with the Foreman's Blackjack. Characters are unchanged. The client stays 1.60.1.70338.
