The error was reducing the amount of Infamy/Glory to 5% instead of providing a 5% bonus before dividing the amount of Infamy/Glory earned. - Keys rewarded at Lugazag and Tirith Rhaw for capturing the location are now unique. - The keys of Lugazag and Tirith Rhaw now grant properly when flipping a keep to your faction. - Chests in the Towers that grant rewards will now lock so they can be used by other players. - Rewards from chests at the Towers now provide a decaying reward package item. This is done to ensure that the loot in the chest is able to respawn. - Players and Monster Players will no longer trigger aligned cauldrons at the towers of Lugazag and Tirith Rhaw. - Gates will no longer hold players in combat after being attacked at Tirith Rhaw and Lugazag. - Health bonuses on the gate now stack correctly and apply a lesser value. - Tomes of Defence have been added to Outpost barterers for 175 Marta for both Free People and Monster Players. - Burglar's "Hiding in Plain Sight" now correctly activates "Sneak" within the Ettenmoors. ##### **Miscellaneous:** - The Forester Crafting Event will now provide its correct reward. - We have removed the 15th Legendary Items Reward Track that debuts August 20th from the 32-bit game worlds. We do not want players to begin this track just prior to world closing and have to restart progress on their 64-bit game world.
