- Can once again be used on any level player.
- Will now remain active on a player until removed by damage (there is no longer a timer).
- Will only register melee damage to check for breaking.
- The ablative threshold is increased significantly for tiers 3 and up.
- Chiconis Battlefield has had some work done in it. Risen Adepts should be easier to find, and the ghostly dragons that haunt the area should now have more space to spread out.
- Adventure: Eminence now requires a Tomb Scarab Carapace when applying the technique.
- Adventure: Primal Vengeance now requires a Diseased Brownback Fang when applying the technique.
- Spell: Primal Flash now requires a Twisted Automaton Gear when applying the technique.
- Removed the minimum spawn quantities on spawns in the Observatory Peninsula and the Deadpool.

- Removed the minimum spawn quantities of some spawns on Lesser Aradoth.
- Quest items used in the Biggletorque quest series are no longer tradeable
- Removed the minimum spawn quantities on spawns in Old Rachival, Delgarath, the Proving Grounds, the Fallen Outpost, Bannock's Ridge, the Abandoned Shore, the Island of Talinis, the Stormy March, the Valley of Tears, Dralnok's Doom, the Myloc Colony, the Valley of Tolrath, and the Staging Grounds.
- Reklar's Winds of Fury will no longer conflict with evasion and unarmed skill boosts.
- Acceleration is now an active ability that gives you an acceleration buff.
- Avariatus' Stone of Vitality will no longer attune items it is installed into. Please note that this change will not fix any items previously attuned by the stone.
Sound Revamp[edit]
- Significant changes and fixes to the sound system have been made. Players visiting Dralk and other "lava" areas in the game should no longer have to relog in order to continue to hear music. New music has been added to some areas of the world, and the song list in others has been updated. Please be sure your game build is up to date with the new files, but if you experience problems with the sound/music system let us know.
File Structure Audit[edit]
- In addition to revamping the sound system, with this update we've also done a complete audit of the game's client side files. When players patch to Blight as of this update, they will find that a number of files need to be downloaded or removed in order to make their client build up to date with what assets are needed for the game. As a reminder, players logging in to Blight should also clear their world_cache folder by completely deleting the folder and allowing it to rebuild over time in order to prevent conflicts with the many changes that have been made to the world.
Fixes[edit]
- Fixed the quest The Battlefields: Explore the Chiconis Battlefields so that it does not repeat the same dialog twice.
- Dragon Adventurer now gets Dodge at level 1 FOR REAL THIS TIME.
- Corrected the health boosts of Dark Crawler Breeders and the named Breeder, Moragantris
- Fixed a step dependency in quest "Plundered Tombs: Investigate the Tomb of Crankenspank"
- Corrected Mighty Roar to be usable on targets, but still give a self-buff.
- Gantorin the Restless Shade will now properly drop the Memory Stone for the Relic quests.
- Cancelling one of the Relic Preserver quests will no longer allow you to begin the Relic Hunter quest line and vice versa.
- Corrected a broken chat link in quest "Vandus Confederation: The Withered Aegis Threat II"
- Corrected the appearance of Private Alton Barwoth in Heart
- The Battlefields: Scouting the Battlefield has had the locations updated so that you can scout near the location, not just precisely at it.
- Commander Turclid will now spawn on the Chiconis Battlefield

- The lair outside Chiconis that is commonly called the "crystalshaping lair" has undergone some structural rebuilding. The gap leading out of the lair has been closed off, but this also required a general "shoring up" of the various chambers.
- The Battlefields: Identifying the Leader no longer has a Rank Badge being deleted in the first step, as this would cause the quest to break if someone no longer had the badge.

- References to the Island of Dabihi now correctly refer to Dahibi.
