SKYSHRINE
Update 63
Date April 17,2011

"Skyshrine"[]

The Destiny of Velious saga continues as adventurers breach the barriers of the Withered Lands seeking entrance to Skyshrine, the glorious ancient dragon city!

The great citadel of Skyshrine has long housed the Claws of Veeshan dragons behind its massive walls and arcane protections. Now, the unthinkable has happened -- it has become besieged by powerful forces. Battle and befriend dragons and their wurmkin in the forbidden city of Dracur. Explore the past to unravel mysterious events that transformed the formidable draconic city into a battlefield full of daunting challenges, fearful foes and unimaginable treasures!

Far below Skyshrine a different battle rages on. The Withered Lands, once known as the Wakening Land, was a majestic Plane of Growth-touched valley. Today it is oddly overgrown and overrun by a sickly magic. This strange corruption has touched and twisted many of the creatures that thrived here, including the legendary caretakers of the forest. Turned to a dark purpose, the caretakers cultivate the afflicted plants and animals. And deep in the creeping woods, chaotic storms drench the forest and singe the gnarled treetops where an angry dragon flies overhead!

Save the forest from corruption, aid the armies of Norrath in reaching Skyshrine, explore the intrigues of dragon kind and save their embattled city!

To reach the Withered Lands, please seek out the New Combine Griffon Tamer located at the Thurgadin Harbor in the Great Divide.

Freeblood characters can now customize their inner demon illusion and the change will be persistent.

Fixed a bug where race changing from a winged race to a non-winged race via a race change potion could result in an invalid appearance on the character.

Fixed a bug where if you took a bag icon slot and positioned it over a pet spell icon in your hotbar and right clicked on the item in the bag it would flay out the possible pet spells instead of the radial menu for the item.

Fixed a bug where non-beastlords could load ui settings from beastlord characters and make the beastlord UI appear.

Fixed a bug where players could fall when zoning while riding server mounts.

ABILITIES / ALTERNATE ADVANCEMENT[]

Fixed an issue where the AA slider could display the incorrect value when logging into the game.

Fixed a bug where the spell examines of spells that decreased the auto attack multiplier were not displaying correctly.
