Crafting

Quests

• We have greatly increased the respawn rate of the Caged Warg needed for the An Audition quest.
• Fixed quest directions for “Fisherman's Foe.”

If the deed previously advanced for you due to completion of "Hungry Bear-friend," you will need to complete that event of the deed again.

Monster Play

• Defiler heals no longer require the Defiler to face the target of the heal.
