 * The description for armor appearance kit previews has been updated to indicate where the preview kits can be used.

Classes

 * A new effect has been added to characters that applies itself automatically when a player with the Magical Training feat is low on spell points. This effect, called Echoes of Power, regenerates spell points when a player reaches a low threshold of spell points.

 * The ability regenerates spell points at a rate of 4 sp every 6 seconds.
 * The ability removes itself when a player reaches 12 sp or greater.

 * Monsters that have been rendered helpless now take 50% additional damage from all harmful sources instead of being automatically critically hit by physical attacks. This affects all harmful damage, including attacks, spells, environmental effects, or other sources of damage. Damage is increased before resistances and damage reduction is applied.

 * Normal: +10% damage
 * Hard: +15% damage
 * Elite: +20% damage
 * Epic: +25% damage

Crafting

 * Recipes have been added to the Dreamforge that will allow players to turn one of each of the three different essences into the fourth essence type.
 * Restoration recipes have been added for Epic Carnival and Epic Red Fens items. If an item was improved for Update 8, players can now use 3 Epic Dungeon tokens in a Stone of Change, along with the item, to upgrade the item to its improved state (or remove its augment slot, if the item has one.)
 * The Master Transmuter Staff recipe now correctly states that the staff has Superior Potency VI.
 * Recipes have been added to the Device Workstation that allow a rogue to create +1 through +5 thieves' tools out of mechanical parts and a randomly generated +1 through +5 weapon.

 * Using non-harmful potions while stealthed will no longer break stealth.
 * Using non-harmful potions will no longer break toggle-able feats, such as combat stances.

An Epic Ring of the Buccaneer upgraded via the device to tier 2 will have its Dexterity +6 property removed when Dexterity +7 is added. Rings already bought or upgraded will not be changed, but any future rings from the device will work as described.
 * Small Guild Augment Gems of Reaction will now give a bonus to reflex saves versus evocation spells instead of a bonus to reflex saves versus enchantment spells.
 * The "Unhollowed Scarab" was found to have always been quite solid, not to mention very unholy, so it has been renamed the "Unhallowed Scarab" instead.

 * Melee death effects on items (and the rogue assassin enhancement) have been redesigned.
 * For targets with more than 1,000 hit points, vorpal no longer kills and instead hits the target for 100 points of bane damage. If a creature has less than 1,000 hit points, the vorpal effect is applied on a confirmed critical hit as before.
 * For undead creatures with more than 1,000 hit points, disruption no longer applies a "save or die" effect, but instead hits the affected creature for 10 points of bane damage.

The skilled conjurers of The Twelve have summoned a magma para-elemental named Lahar to assist adventurers until the mystery of Misty's disappearance is solved. Lahar is also now offering the barter UI for easier shopping.

= Quest & Adventure Area Changes =

The Streets of Saltire

The Chronoscope

 * After completing the Chronoscope, Nolan Gann now properly references the /quest command as a way to check on the raid timer.

Soami Gardens

Relic of a Sovereign Past

 * Mysteriously, Galrias the Smith was not using adamantine to craft the Nightforge Gorget, Nightforge Armbands, and Nightforge Darkhelm, and was instead using steel. Apparently, he was stockpiling the adamantine for his own use. He has been caught red-handed, and will now use the proper material (adamantine) when crafting these items.

The Sanctum: Church of the Fury

 * Added audio and visual cues when the puzzle is solved.

= Races =


 * Corrected an animation error that caused a half-orc's forward run animation speed to not scale with their actual speed.

= Skills, Feats, and Abilities =

Skills

 * Animations have been re-added to Diplomacy and Intimidate if you are not in the middle of other animations. These animations do not prevent other actions.
 * All three social skills can be used on any creature that possesses any level of intelligence, rather than being restricted to creatures that speak common. Completely unintelligent monsters such as golems, some undead, and vermin, are still immune to social manipulation.
 * The cooldowns for Bluff, Diplomacy, and Intimidate have been increased to 15 seconds.
 * The shared cooldown for Half-Elven Social Graces has been increased to 60 seconds.
 * Bluff
 * The bluff skill is now faster to activate, and grants a short duration reduction in threat generation. Repeated bluffs now increment the DC by 1 instead of 4.
 * The sneak attack vulnerability applied by a successful bluff attempt is no longer removed on damage, and now renders the target vulnerable to sneak attacks for 4 seconds.
 * Diplomacy
 * The diplomacy skill now reduces a player's threat with affected creatures, in addition to the skill's prior behavior. A greater percentage of threat is removed depending on a player's diplomacy score.
 * Intimidate
 * A successful use of the intimidate skill now sets a player's threat with a monster equal to the highest threat opponent, plus a small buffer based on a player's (size-modified) intimidate skill. Players also gain a +50% threat multiplier to all attacks (melee, ranged, and spells) for a short period after successful intimidation. Intimidate now has a 15 second cooldown, but players will no longer automatically lose the monster's aggro after six seconds.
 * When using a shield, intimidate will get a longer lasting and more effective threat multiplier applied.

Feat Changes

 * Improved Shield Bash now grants a 20% chance to make a secondary shield bash while attacking with a melee weapon.
 * Shield Mastery's feat benefit has been changed to, "You are now skilled with the use of a shield, and your physical damage vulnerability is decreased by 10% when using a buckler or small shield, 15% when using a large shield, or 20% when using a tower shield."
 * Karmic Strike's finisher no longer leaves a monk helpless. The effect has been changed to, "Fire-Dark-Fire Finisher - You have learned to strike at the moment your opponent is the most vulnerable - the same moment your opponent strikes you. This attack is guaranteed to produce critical threat if it hits, but costs 20 hit points to perform."
 * Monks can now take the Stunning Fist feat using normal feat slots (instead of being restricted to "special monk feats"), and it can be respecced freely by Fred.
 * Half-elf Rogue Dilettante can now be used as a prerequisite for the Improved Feint feat.
 * Ranger Favored Enemy Feats are now auto-expanded with the rest of the feats in the character panel.

New Feats

 * The toggles for Pale Master Shrouds no longer appear to be active after being removed by resting.

 * Shroud of the Wraith has been reduced in cost to 1 AP.
 * Shroud of the Lich's prerequisites have been changed to: Level 18 Wizard, Wizard Pale Master III, Toughness, 66 Action Points spent. Any characters that currently possess Shroud of the Lich will possess Shroud of the Vampire, which replaced it at level 12.

 * Orcish Fury will now properly apply to a Half-Orc that is raised from the dead.
 * Each tier of Elven Arcanum now gives 20 spell points and +1 spell penetration. The wizard level of requirement for Elven Arcanum III has been corrected, and the wizard level requirement of Elven Arcanum IV has been raised to require eight levels of wizard. The enhancement line is now as follows:

General Spell Changes

Spell Balance Enhancements
To make casters more accessible at lower levels, and to balance the cost of spells based on the amount of damage they deliver, spell point costs have been modified, and a many spells have been made more useful!


 * DDO's spells previously had a standardized cost based on their level, but are now changed to match their comparative power.
 * The majority of this pass focuses on spells that do damage. Here are some general guidelines:
 * Single target damage spells have largely had their spell point cost lowered.
 * Lightning Bolt now features a double strike ability.
 * Fireball-type effects which rely on a reflex save have had their spell point cost lowered slightly.
 * Wall of Fire has had its spell point cost increased.
 * Heal has had its spell point cost increased.
 * Trap spells (like Fire Trap, Delayed Blast Fireball, Gylphs, etc.) have had their spell point cost lowered, and their cooldown timers adjusted.
 * Debuff spells have largely had their spell point cost lowered.
 * Cloud-type spells have received some new debuff properties, details below.
 * Some crowd control effects with very short durations have had their spell point cost lowered, and their cooldown timers adjusted.
 * Crowd control effects with long durations have largely had their spell point cost and cooldown timers left unchanged.
 * Fear effects have largely had their spell point cost lowered.
 * Death effects now do more damage on a save.
 * Ray spells should now more reliably hit monsters that are moving laterally to the caster.
 * Ray spells and magic/force missile projectiles have had the speed of their projectiles increased.
 * Ray spells have had their range doubled.
 * Touch spells are now easier to apply to creatures.
 * Some cloud spells have had their casting animation time lowered.
 * Area of effect damage-over-time spells have been separated from single-target damage-over-time spells (for example, players can now cast Melf's Acid Arrow against someone standing in an Acid Fog.)
 * Players can now each have their own version of a single-target damage-over-time spell on a target, but area of effect damage-over-time spells are still shared. For example, two players can each have a copy of Melf's Acid Arrow on a target, and both will cause damage, but if both players cast Acid Fog on a target, only the most powerful of the clouds would take effect.
 * Adjustments have been made to numerous cooldowns:
 * Death effects have had their cooldowns increased. The increased cooldown for single-target death effect spells is not as long as area of effect death effect spells.
 * The various Power Word spells have had their cooldown timers increased, but their upper hit point caps have been removed.
 * Cooldown timers for spells cast by wizards, clerics, and favored souls have been brought closer to the cooldown timers of sorcerers.
 * Symbol spells have been organized into two cooldown groups:
 * Long: 80 seconds for wizards and clerics, 60 seconds for sorcerers. This includes Symbol of Death, Symbol of Stunning, Symbol of Persuasion, and Symbol of Fear.
