Fixes

A number of progression and reward issues in the Albion Journal have been addressed. These changes will take effect with this patch and will not retroactively change existing progression unless otherwise noted.

Albion Journal fixes:

• Fixed issue where the ‘Loot Baby Animals’ missions could be completed by looting the item from a player’s corpse
• Fixed issue where the same vanity item reward could be obtained from two missions (see updated mission rewards above)
• Fixed issue where the mission ’Own 3 plots in the same city simultaneously’ rewarded a Snow Leopard Cape item instead of the untradeable Snow Leopard Cape unlock item
• Unintended Snow Leopard Cape items that have already been claimed have been converted into the untradeable Snow Leopard Cape unlock item
• Fixed issue where resource mobs in the Mists would not count towards skinning missions
• Fixed issue where hide animals in the Mists and hide treasures were not counted as unique animal types
  • As a result of this fix, the amount of hide mobs required to complete the mission ‘Skin every type of Hide Animal’ has increased significantly. To offset this increase, two additional steps in the mission chain have been added:
    • ‘Skin 52 types of Hide Animal’
    • ‘Skin 65 types of Hide Animal’
    • Unfortunately, these missions have to be started from scratch as, for technical reasons, they are considered new missions

• Fixed issue where the mission 'Use the Journey Back ability in a Black Zone' could be completed by returning from any zone
• Fixed issue where missions to kill a certain number of mobs did not count mobs defeated by a party member
• Fixed issue where ‘Gain Brecilien standing’ missions were not completed if maximum standing was reached prior to the Journal’s release
• Fixed issue where Phalanx Beetle mounts did not count towards the 'Ride a Battle Mount' mission
• Fixed issue where some crafting missions could be completed by other means
• Fixed issue where percentages in category progress bars were rounded up, causing the UI to incorrectly indicate that a threshold had been met
  • Percentages now include one decimal number

• Fixed some inaccurate mission descriptions

UI fixes:

• Fixed issue where speech bubbles could obscure important UI elements. The display priority now functions correctly, in this order:
  • Player's own nametag
  • Selected nametags
  • Nametags with an icon
  • Spellcasting bars
  • Speech bubbles
  • Other nametags

• Fixed issue where mount healthbars and spellcasting bars could display incorrectly when other spells were cast nearby
• Fixed issue where the Journey Back ability could not be used after closing the notification pop-up with the ESC key
• Fixed issue where opening the Destiny Board or World Map with the Journal Tracker UI open would cause the tracker to display as empty
• [MOBILE] Fixed issue where mail notifications would appear during the tutorial despite the mail menu being inaccessible

Other fixes:

• Fixed various mob spawning issues in Randomized Dungeons:
  • Fixed issue where boss encounters could spawn twice
  • Fixed issue where elite mobs could spawn in solo dungeons
  • Fixed issue where veteran mobs could spawn in groups in solo dungeons
  • Fixed issue where multiple groups of mobs could spawn at once

• Fixed issue where cooldown reduction buffs could sometimes cause longer than intended cooldowns for the Crystal Reaper, Panther Shape, and Imp Shape
• Fixed issue where Territory Activity Chest shield visual states would not change when standing next to them
• Fixed issue where Victory Emotes would activate if a player used the ‘/die’ command when ‘also trigger on knockdown’ was enabled
• Various additional graphical, animation, terrain, audio, UI, and localization fixes
