Patch 1.6

Patch 1.6, the Reforged in Flame phase 3 patch, is currently in Open Testing.

General

• A new item, the Scroll of Knowledge has been added. This item will grant you a level of experience on use and is contained in rewards related to Outposts, Noob Island, Hotzones and the Glory system. It will grant two levels of experience if you are below level 60.
• A new item, the Font of Wisdom has been added. This item will grant your group a bonus 33% Experience Rate for 10 minutes upon use. This does not stack with a Potion of Wisdom. It has a 10s Activation time, which breaks on use. Don't use it in combat and make sure your group mates are nearby!
• A new item, the Potion of Wisdom has been added. This item will grant you a bonus 33% Experience Rate for 30 Minutes. This does not stack with a Font of Wisdom.
• Psychic Shout is now group friendly, instead of 10-ally friendly. Unholy Storm, Call Lightning (Channeler), Saint Lorne's Ire and Psychic shout are now the group-friendly Area of Effect spells.
• The 20% damage bonus to certain Damaging Aoes has been reverted. These now deal 20% less damage.
• All Area of Effect spells have had their Radius normalized to 30 units. This is an increase for Mind Trap (Warlock Root) & Divine Word of Binding (Sentinel Big Bomb) from 20 to 30, but is otherwise a reduction for all other powers, from 40 to 30.
• The 5/55 Rule has been reverted. All Area of Effect Spells now hit for full damage or effect on a maximum of 7 Targets.
• Glass no longer drops in Hotzones. Instead, you an item similar to the old Fate Peddler mechanic drops which has a chance to drop glass and other goodies. This item drops much more often than glass used to, and only drops in hotzones.

Crafting

• Resource costs for crafting of all ranks will be reduced. This does not include expansion resources (Obsidian, Bloodstone, Galvor, Wormwood), which will remain the same.

Outposts

• 6 Outposts have been enabled. Capture them for your nation to earn the ability to teleport to the Outpost, use its Shrines to gain Rank 1 Boons or use its unique benefits such as proximity to a Runegate.
• Capture Outposts by killing the Outpost Lord. Outposts will be difficult to take without sufficient force (3-5 people). Some Outposts will require greater force than that. (5-10).
• Once captured, an Outpost may not change hands for (24) hours. If your Outpost is under attack, you will be notified.
• Successfully taking an Outpost will grant you an Outpost Reward Package. It will contain a variety of rewards.
• Outposts have Votaries that grant bonuses to your character in exchange for a weakness. They stack with all boons, except themselves.
• Please Note: Outposts are in their first form. There are known issues right now with them and these issues will be hotfixed. Goldspar Garrison & Stormwing Incursion may not be claimed and will be activated when ready.

(RiF 1.6.0.2)
