=Dragon's Vault (Module 1) FINAL Release Notes= This update contains the first content update to DDO, the Dragon's Vault Module! Can you gain access to the impenetrable Vault of Night?


 * Fight in the notorious Tharashk Arena, defeating all other combatants to survive.
 * Explore the most dangerous prison of all - that of a mind locked in torment, in the Prison of the Mind.
 * Discover the hideous secret that has ruined the Haywire Foundry.
 * Delve into the subterranean depths of the Jungles of Khyber.
 * After you've conquered all four of those dungeons, the most challenging and compelling dungeon experience of all awaits you - the Vault of Night, as you face the full array of Kundarak magic and tricks meant to keep you out…or kill you.
 * If you somehow manage to defeat the Vault of Night, you can earn your rich rewards…there remains just one last obstacle…

In addition to the Dragon's Vault chain of quests, there is even more great content to explore!


 * Fight against the first vampire boss in DDO…you'll love this challenge.
 * Stop a planar invasion in "The Xorian Cipher"
 * Explore the immense demesne of the Arzag-Khor…can you acquire the Tear of Dhakaan?
 * Stop the nefarious plans of the Grave Robber
 * Can you uncover all the secrets of Stromvauld's Mine?
 * Will you aid the Bounty Hunter and bring down an infamous assassin?
 * And more!
 * We've opened the gates to Kobold Island: a fun and replayable landscape experience for new players still getting a feel for what their characters can do in combat.

Changes and fixes to the game including:

 * Founders commemoration! Check the fountain in Aspirants square to view the earliest guilds to arrive in Stormreach and explore the dangers of Xen'drik!
 * Weapon Sets shortcuts are now in! You can now set up a single item shortcut to point to both a main weapon and off-hand item. So, for example, you can now equip two daggers, or a sword and a shield - all with one shortcut.
 * Drag two different items into the "weapon sets" panel in your inventory panel to create a single shortcut for two items. Now use that shortcut in your shortcut bar to equip the two items.
 * Collectibles - Most collectible descriptions now tell you not only which collector wants that item, but also how many copies of that item they desire (i.e. "Goldscuttle desires at least 3 Prayer Beads.")
 * When you attempt to delete a character, you will now get a confirmation dialog that asks you to type in the character's first name before it will allow you to delete the character. This should help prevent accidental deletion of your favorite characters.
 * Potion and Scroll icons all now have a mini-spell icon in their upper left corner (just like wands) to help identify what spell the item casts. Say goodbye to the "I have ten different potions and all of them are blue!" problem.
 * Quest items should no longer get deleted when players go linkdead.
 * Players will no longer be able to enter a completed quest for additional experience reward without retaking the quest.
 * Fixed several stuck points throughout the world.
 * Fixed the problem where sometimes scrolling your mousewheel would not zoom your camera in and out.

Performance

 * Players should no longer receive falling damage when they are simply walking along minding their own business.
 * The number of people allowed in each tavern instance has been lowered to help performance within taverns.
 * We have implemented another batch of changes that should help players who are experiencing rubberbanding issues.
 * A new tab has been added to the Options Panel, the "Troubleshoot" tab, which contains several new options to help tweak game performance. These options should help players who are trying to improve their dialup experience or players whose video cards are overheating.
 * We have implemented another batch of changes that should help with dialup performance.
