Totem of Leadership no longer has an invalid spell as its clicky effect; it now casts Tribal Leadership.

NPCs
A desert orc champion and a corrupted desert orc champion have been renamed a desert orc bruiser and a corrupted desert orc bruiser. This was done because "a corrupted desert orc champion" exceeded the NPC nametag character limit.

Warden Tarval will accept more than one Poacher's Signet Ring at a time.

SPELLS

Fixed dozens of miscellaneous spell description errors.

The healer in Zenn Malath now gives the intended discount to trueborn Dwarf characters who request their exp debt to be cleared.

MISCELLANEOUS
Character creation features more informative descriptions of races, classes, and statistics.
Dozens of previously lost strings (mostly descriptions for AAs and spells) have been restored.
In the interests of consistency, the following spelling reforms have been made in NPC names, item names, spell names, quest text, and so on:

Few minor fixes from most recent patch. Run the patcher to get the updates.

ADEPTS
The belligerent beach bum event has been updated:
-Claiming the hairbrush from the bum no longer gives uncapped quest exp. Instead, each surviving participant receives a fixed amount of exp equal to 25 percent of his or her current level. This change simulates the exp cap of other adepts and prevents adept hunters from unexpectedly gaining multiple levels, but the tradeoff is that expable items get no exp at all.
-Certain rare circumstances, such as the player going linkdead before giving the hairbrush to the mermaid, no longer cause the event to enter a bugged state.
Hazel the Shrew's event has been updated:
-The fight itself should go by more quickly.
-Three new items have been added to the loot table.
-Due to the bigger loot pool and the narrow class/race restrictions of some of the event's rewards, the method for determining loot has been made much more player-friendly. However, lucky triple loots are no longer possible.
The pets in the Crate of Pets event have been assigned appropriate bodytypes.
Undead spouses will no longer generate triple identical loots.

ITEMS
Globe of the Elements Improved grants Mana Regen and Critical Strike to keep it in line with its unimproved form. It also gives more HP than before.
Harpy Feather Shawl's clicky is instantaneous once again like it was in the old client.
Heavy Ham no longer shows two different weights in game vs. in Fomelo.
Lionskin Drums now grow by percentage instead of incrementally. The total exp required is roughly the same, and the final stats are the same. This change prevents the drum from being incorrectly recognized as a weapon by the client upon gaining a level, which would prevent low-level Bards from equipping the drum until they learned Dual Wield.
Robes of Avarice have been given a minor overhaul, gaining a more thematically appropriate effect and a different look.
Scripted effects on the following items now have spell names and descriptions that more accurately reflect what they do:
-History of the Illiterate
-Jester's Chain of Chromatic Caprice
-Stuck Spear
-Tornado Greataxe
Shield of Ancient Inquisition and Spear of the Ancient Shaman no longer have redundant recommended levels.
The spell scrolls for Torbas' Poison Blast and Torbas' Venom Blast now have the "Spell: " prefix.
The Strand of Creation's icon now matches its model.
Trespasser's Toga has received a small buff.
Vessel of False Ambrosia's clicky casting time has returned to being instant rather than 65.5 seconds.

NPCs
Chillfin and A Chilled Hammerhead should cause fewer "fish aggro" problems in Crystal Caverns. The latter now has a lower-case name.
a crystal creeper in Crystal Caverns has evolved the ability to walk on land! In other words, this NPC will also no longer cause "fish aggro" problems.
a festering dead in Western Plaguelands is flagged as undead instead of lesser elemental.
a goblin bartender in the City of Mercy is now on Althuna faction, meaning he is finally willing to sell to friendlies. (The goblin bartenders in Red Sun Mines are unchanged.)
a mudcrawler in Kedge Keep should show up as its intended model.
A unique Blackscale merchant ID that was broken and inaccessible for several years now works. As a result, Etzaazik of the Order, Makaani of the Order, and Tizakka of the Order are now functional merchants for the first time. Additionally, Grobb's Blackscale Order Quartermaster has been changed to this type of merchant. (He was previously a redundant generic goods merchant.)
City names referenced within citizen NPC nametags (e.g., a newport citizen) are now capitalized.
Mpargh the Dismayed no longer casts Doom on himself as if it were a buff; the spell has been moved to his list of offensive magic.
Various NPCs in the Towers of Agony end boss event should show as their intended models instead of male humans.

QUESTS
The quest to upgrade the Nagthilian Noble's Gloves has been updated:
-It has a proper quest name (Nagthilian Nostalgia) and journal entries.
-Players entering Nagthilian A to begin the quest will automatically have their bindpoint set at the Darkwoods zoneline.

SPELLS
Abstraction of Flame no longer shares the same icon as the Harvest line.
Althuna's Conduit has a more informative spell description (and it doesn't cut off mid-sentence like the old one).
Arcane Echo has received a few minor updates:
-Because it triggers alongside other spells that already have their own sounds, casting animations, and spell particles, Arcane Echo itself no longer produces any of these.
-Its icon is now an ear instead of a heal icon.
-It has a spell description.
Convergence has a more fitting (and previously unused) spell icon.
Deviant Behavior (the Wizard version) no longer fails based on what you're targeting.
Elemental Form: Ice has a spell description.
Evac spells can include pets, providing they're within spell range.
Evil Circle of Healing now has its intended 10-minute cooldown.
Grasp of the Spirits no longer has a misleading spell description.
Grow/shrink effects will persist after an illusion fades. The most notable benefit of this is that illusions with short durations, such as Somatic Bond, won't constantly negate grow/shrink.
Nejax curses have each been given a different icon so they can be more easily differentiated.
Primal Essence's spell description mentions stamina now instead of strength, and the spell should show up in the proper categories in the spellgem right-click menu.
True North works.

ZONES
The evac spot in Eastern Plaguelands is now at ground level instead of dangerously high in the air.
The evac spot in Plane of Water is slightly safer than before. (The spot itself hasn't moved.)
Pets automatically aggro monsters that attack you in Zenn Malath.
Zenn Malath now has a Priestess of War and a Priestess of Harmony for PvP and Hardcore purposes.
Bodies of water in Zenn Malath can give Swimming skillups.

MISCELLANEOUS
Augmentation birdbaths no longer repop at daybreak or nightfall. They're still not perfect, but they're slightly less bug-prone than before!
Players now receive a popup message upon gaining each level. These popups include helpful information and clickable links relating to adepts, newly learnable skills, etc.
Items
Reduced the AC/HP/Mana of Inscriptions of Angered Wind and Darkness.
Bracelet of the Challenger has been edited to have only one augment slot.
Santus weapon proc changed from Circle of Healing to Light of Day

Unstable Radiation from Unstabl-Sol, self-damage has been reduced.

Gunther the Protector of City of Mercy: Fight should now work correctly and drop the needed quest key.
Azax's model in Plane of Valor should now be correct.
Thenn`ayr`duun now drops 1 loot, with a 40% chance to drop a second at the 12-man difficulty. This increases to 100% for 2 loots at 18-man difficulty.
Flames of Rage spell attack reduced from 250 to 100
Jayla's followers have found a remarkable discovery! Go see Archaeologist Sarla in Plane of Knowledge for more information. (Quest will be added soon after patch)
