• Patch Notes - 09-09-2024

• Mining & Smithing

• Players can now use a weapon in a specific Inventory slot on the dragonkin anvil to convert it to masterwork melee weapon essence, in a similar fashion to creating masterwork armour essence.
• A cosmetic override of retro primal armour can be purchased from the Daemonheim rewards trader with Dungeoneering tokens.

• General

• The quest progression list will no longer count event quests (and miniquests) that are no longer available so all players can max out the number of completed quests no matter when they started their adventure.
