Blight Update 187 will be applied to the Blight Testing Shard on Thursday, August 12 and includes the following additions, changes, and fixes.

- Spawn densities and rates in the following locations:
- Snowfall
- Along the coast of the Mahagra Tundra and Frozen Peninsula
- Isle of Fire
- Isle of Ice
- Along the road south of Kion to the Stone Circle
- Valkor's Lair
- Rite of Passage (to further ensure its rock-solid)
- Sslanis Militia quest requiring the Ravagers and Protectors
Thank you! And now on with the notes...
Additions[edit]
- Imperial Quartermaster Frig Tallowgar at the Imperial Outpost has been authorized to carry new Cargo Disk formulas: Master Tarbash, Master Tarbash Compact, Master Standish, Master Standish Deluxe, Master Standard and Master Deluxe formulas.
- Nielenoss has taken the Master designs and perfected his own - Master Flying Cargo Disk, Master Cargo Disk Flyer, as well as the needed components, Master Laminate, Master Energized Azulyte, Master Imbued Brick and Master Engraving.
- Tier 6 Cargo Disks can now be used by players with the proper Craft Rating. Please note, this is Rating, not School Level.
Changes[edit]
- Some items which are crafted from formulas given out as part of the Rite of Passage quest are now marked as "Removable". This will allow players to accidentally craft multiples of the items to remove the extras.
- Golem will now spawn at a lower level range than he used to, making him slightly less powerful than Tashka Lusa.
- Both Eclipse and Tashka Lusa have had their treasure tables adjusted slightly so that they will drop a greater variety of loot more often.
- Obsidian Golems now spawn in greater quantity around the Tower of Wizardry area, with lower level golems spawning closer to the coast and higher level ones spawning closer to the tower. There are two named golems which will spawn as well, Eclipse and Tashka Lusa, in different areas around where regular golems spawn.
- Marble Golems which spawn near the Valley of Torlath will now appear more consistency and are spread out around the Marble Quarry in different level ranges, with higher level golems closer to the center of the quarry area.
- Completed reworked quest "Dragon's Gift V". It is now known as "Dragon's Gift V: Kaliphar's Reagants" and properly tracks the looting of the Brilliant Peridot Gemstone that Kaliphar speaks of.
- Dragon Instant Heal I: The Power of Healing now only requires 50 golems, not 100, to complete.
- Players working on the Breath of Fire: Acquire a Splinter of Flame-Bone will now have a greater chance of attaining the splinter when killing skeletons in the Western Deadlands.
- Guards around Kion are no longer active and will not protect the Gifted.
- Rebalanced the coin and hoard values of all cargo disks.
- Angry Gruoks and Grulets will now spawn more consistently in range of levels. (Note that they now use the AI "level range" for spawning rather than separate templates.)
- Brown Spider Hatchlings will now spawn on New Trismus with more consistency than previously. (Note that they now use the AI "level range" for spawning rather than separate templates.)
- Blighted monsters in the Northern Deadlands now spawn in a range between lvls 45 and 55 rather than at static levels.

- Increased spawn of Ishkuk Gatherers on Scorpion Island and Abandoned Island.
- Rebalanced the Icy Dire Wolf spawns on the Frozen Peninsula.
