Items

Explosive Hearthstone – Fixed an issue where parts of the spell visual could be hidden from other players.
Conqueror’s Prized Lacquer and Conqueror’s Prized Varnish will now supersede a lower PvP item level if present on the target item.
Fixed an issue preventing Amirdrassil tier tokens from dropping.

Nightfall Scenario

Implemented additional tuning to help players that are finding it hard to earn points for their Nightfall scenario Service Award score.
Added improved tracking for Nightfall scenario Service Award that should make scoring behavior more consistent.
Implemented additional stability improvements for Nightfall scenario objective assignment and for completing the Nightfall scenario.

Player versus Player

Fixed an issue that caused the wrong Field Medic’s Hazard Payout to be awarded at end of match.

Quests

The Earthen Prototype and Overcharged batteries in the Siren Isle Introduction quest “To Scan a Crystal” should once again be interactable.

Season of Discovery

The Caladboulder will now lose 1 durability every time the Chance on Hit stun proc activates.
Scarlet Enclave
- There are now three Torn Pages for Putress’ Diary per Scarlet Enclave instance, as intended (was incorrectly 1).
- The Hoard of the Pirate Lord containing the Lucky Doubloon will now require you to kil Mason the Echo before being able to loot it (was: required killing Balnazzar before looting, and was also using his tap list – creating issues for Master Looters and not having a chest if a soft reset happened between Balnazzar and Mason).
- The Hoard of the Pirate Lord will no longer despawn if there is a soft reset done on the instance after Balnazzar.
- The Hoard of the Pirate Lord will no longer despawn if the chest is left open for too long.
- Caldoran
  - Enemies will no longer show the Panic debuff while they are dead.
  - Enemies will no longer ignore Panic if they have Curse of Recklessness active when it is cast.
  - Enemies will (hopefully) no longer stay alive while at 1 health.
- Lilian Voss
  - Ignite has had its initial damage reduced and the scaling amount reduced.
