Build 0.17.286 September 17, 2025
General
> Added a chat message to let the player know when they don't have enough room in their inventory
to accept a quest that needs to give them some items.
Bug Fixes
> Illusionary floors in some dungeons should once again allow players to pass through them.
> Zakaat goblins have lost access to orc skeletons and now summon their minions from a different source.
> Fixed an issue with crafting where it sometimes wasn't allowing ingredient items to be put into crafting slots for some schematics.
> Corrected an issue that could cause the portal for Magelord Khro’kamen to potentially fail to spawn in all circumstances where it should have.
> It should no longer be possible to trigger Vice Baron Requias without having the appropriate quest active.
> The erroneous zoneline in the caves below Hanggore has been removed, and players should now properly remain in Avendyr’s Pass
(with the orcs and the cold) while navigating the caverns.
> The open warfare between the Ulthirians and Black Rose forces in Halnir cave has come to an end,
although minor skirmishes may still occur from time to time.
> Corith Malis has fully embraced the importance of playing the long game
and will no longer immediately attempt to murder players who haven’t really done anything to offend him…yet.
> Players should no longer briefly zone into the Eastern Plains while crossing into the Silent Plains from Avendyr’s Pass.
> Mind-Controlled Humans should now attempt to close with their targets before using Shatter Self
> Summoned Woodland Wolves no longer grant experience when killed
> Summoned Mercenaries for Hire no longer grant experience when killed
> The Ooshavan Bloodsworn should now only target valid opponents with its Frenzied Rush ability.
> Mirekin NPCs should now assist other Mirekin NPCs that are engaged in combat with players.
> Snare effects should no longer work on many boss NPCs.
> Shaman armor debuffs now overwrite lower ranked versions of themselves when cast.
> Spirits of Flame should once again spawn properly when fighting Tel’Daedras.
> Magelord Khro’kamen should no longer be able to be interrupted while casting Wildfire.
> Fixed an issue that would cause players to snap back to their original location
if a knockback was applied while also affected by a stun, fear, or knockdown effect.
> Pets and NPCs can now properly navigate in the canyon that leads from Avendyr’s Pass into Black Rose Keep.
> Fixed a condition that would sometimes cause players to fall through the world and potentially become stuck
when logging in, zoning, or returning to their bind point.
Items
> Corrected item type of Butcher’s Gaff (is now set to longstaff)
> Reduced number of stat lines on Pyrite Chain Leggings (folded CON bonus into STA and AGI)
and changed Dodge rating to Hit due to increased AGI and removal of CON
> Updated DMG/DLY for some ranged weapons: Lightweight Dragonbone Recurve, Giantdropper, Chillstrike and the Everburning bow.
This will likely be adjusted again in the future, but for now there should be a more fitting power progression for them.
> Added Paladin to most dropped and vendor-sold arrows
> Added DEX to Dark Runed Chain Gloves
> Changed CON to DEX on Cruel Chef’s Safety Mitts, increased armor and increased STR by 1
and removed parry rating to account for the stat change
> Increased duration of clicky effect on Mana-Infused Bostaff to 30 seconds
> Fixed incorrect model for Platinum-Inlaid Buckler
> Fixed the Blood-Inlaid War Gavel not displaying its VFX
> Corrected tooltip on Celis-Coiled Halberd
> Corrected model for Warden’s Staff and Watcher’s Staff of Manifestation
> Increased duration of the Ancient Golem Core’s clicky effect from 9 to 18 seconds.
NPCs
BRK
> Several tuning adjustments have been made to the stun, root, mesmerize, and fear effects used by many NPCs in Black Rose Keep
> Silencer Silence duration reduced from 12 seconds to 6 seconds, diminishing returns enabled
> Chemist Peculiar Brew fear effect has diminishing returns enabled
> Phiros Mage Blaze Rush distance reduced to 15m (down from 25m)
> Steward Sleeping Tonic has diminishing returns enabled
> Black Rose Wolfcallers should once again use their namesake ability effectively.
> Yerrin Foldt should no longer immediately assault players he doesn’t like.
> Quartermaster Bura’s Armsman Buff has been adjusted
> The Chasm Skeeters should no longer be able to multiply infinitely when angered.
> Black Rose Keep NPC abilities that summon other NPCs should now enforce their full cooldown when interrupted by players,
meaning that it will take longer before the NPC tries to use the ability again.
Note that some of these summon-type abilities (especially for bosses) are not interruptible by design.
> Abilities used by Glow Moths should no longer force other nearby NPCs into combat with the moth.
> Several tuning changes have been made to Magelord Khro’kamen to better reflect the intended difficulty of the encounter.
Hanggore
> Ooshaa’Ruk now checks for LoS with Frostifor Lightning
Quests
> Players will now be unable to accept the quest “The Legacy of Smoke and Stone” by clicking on its starter item
until after they have completed the quest “The Secret of the Stones”.
> Players who consumed their turn-in item for the Secret of the Stones before completing that quest
may receive another one by defeating Tel’Daedras again.
> Players who were unable to loot the item after completing the quest “The Mirror Demands Blood” should now be able
to face the NPC again and loot the item properly.
> The quest objective for the quest “Shadow Delivery” has been updated. Players who currently have this quest active in their journal
should abandon it and retake it from the quest giver.
> Players who may have lost their Blood Mirror for any reason may obtain a replacement for a fee by speaking with Corith Malis.
