Event Testing: Secrets of the Telvanni
What sorts of devious and inadvisable shenanigans have the Telvanni gotten up to this time? Find out what one particular family did to curse itself this time through the new (but not mandatory) introductory quests, and in the process earn special rewards from Necrom chapter daily quests or from exploring the chapter and its eldritch locations.

These parcels can contain valuable materials, style items, zone set items, furnishings, or Companion gear if you have Azandar or Sharp active when they are opened.
- Either quality of the special event-related Telvanni reward boxes has a chance to drop a tradeable style page of the new Explorers of Apocrypha armor style.
The first Necrom daily quest or Sanity's Edge trial weekly quest you complete per account, per day, awards you 2 Event Tickets and a gold-quality reward parcels with a better chance of higher quality rewards.
Necrom daily quests have their normal reward boxes doubled and harvest nodes in both the Telvanni Peninsula and Apocrypha have an improved yield. Necrom world and delve bosses, along with any boss in the Sanity's Edge trial, drop additional loot.
The Impresario has bound versions of the Explorers of Apocrypha armor style pages for 5 tickets each, in addition to all three fragments of the Passion Dancer Garment morphing collectible outfit for 10 tickets each.

Corrected the name for the Daedric Mirror, Nightmareish from Mirror of the Weaver.
Kindred's Concord and Clan Dreamcarver crafting motifs are now automatically unlocked for new PTS template characters.
Added additional descriptions to several Outfit Style containers available on the PTS Template to note that, if you have already collected all Outfit Styles in the container, it may not contain anything for your character to unlock.
Hermaeus Mora's Compendious Library on the PTS Template now also includes Grahtwood Lorebooks.

General

Fixed an issue that prevented Break Free from properly granting Crowd Control immunity after the original Crowd Control was removed.
Fixed an issue where the following abilities would cause you to unsheathe your weapon when slotting, entering a new zone, or relogging, and also fixed an issue where casting the active versions of these abilities would fail to cause your weapons to unsheathe.
- Grim Focus and morphs
- Bound Armaments
Fixed an issue where some visual effects could play erroneously after coming out of stealth while dueling.

Arcanist

Curative Runeforms
- Remedy Cascade: Fixed an issue where the aim assist feature for the Stamina versions of this ability and its morphs would attempt to lock onto enemies rather than allies. Stamina builds confirmed rebels?

Dungeon Sets

Azureblight Reaper:
- Fixed an issue where this set’s damage was only hitting the initial target, rather than all nearby enemies of the explosion.
- Increased the base damage of this set's explosion by approximately 6%.
- Increased the bonus damage per target to 30%, up from 10%, and increased the cap of the damage bonus to 180%, up from 100%.
Developer Comment:
In our first pass of adjusting this set for performance reasons, we added a scaling mechanic in hopes that the set still shined in area intense fights, but that introduced the fact that the set could no longer Critically Strike, harming its potential. To make up for this, we've made some adjustments that should allow the set to be roughly the same power as it was when hitting 5 targets, and getting a slight buff when you're hitting 6 or more.

Overland Sets

Fixed an issue where the Shadow of the Red Mountain and Way of Fire item sets activated off of Tri Focus’s Inferno’s damage over time proc.

General

Bastian's potent potions now correctly grant the following combat buffs and resources:

- Bastian's Potent Stamina now correctly grants Stamina, Major Brutality and Major Endurance
