Greetings and welcome to the September Release Notes! This month the team [made] many changes to how some of our newer systems work. Many of these changes are based directly on player feedback we have gathered over the past couple of weeks, and we thank everyone who let us know what they thought about our 100th content update. Going into the last update, the team was aware that there were going to be some needed adjustments, particularly to drop rates and the new tier of treasure. The adjustments have been made and are listed below.
{{Item Table|Caption=[[Objects]]
| Eye-covered Tentacles of T'thuun
}}


So without further delay, lets see what happening this month in Asheron’s Call!
{{Item Table|Caption=[[Quest Items]]
| Carenzi Race Ticket
| Carenzi Race Ticket Stub
| Plucked Eye of T'thuun
| Shard of Mana
}}


==== Miscellaneous Changes and Improvements ====
{{Item Table|Caption=[[Weapons]]
* The Society NPC’s will now allow players to hand in a piece of society armor they don’t want, as the society texts state they should.
| Blighted Atlatl
* The timer on the PvP towns has been reduced from 72 hours to 68 hours.
| Blighted Axe
* The drop rate on the Pyre Skeletons has been increased so that players can complete their tasks more easily.
| Blighted Bow
* Pyre Shrouds now stack to 20.
| Blighted Claw
* The Drop rate on mana shards has been increased substantially. Players should now find these with more ease.
| Blighted Crossbow
* An issue where society armor was spawning with racial requirements has been resolved.
| Blighted Dagger
* With the new level 8 spells we found that there were several older spells that would override the newer more powerful ones. This should now be fixed and spells should now work as they are supposed to.
| Blighted Mace
* Casinos have received some long needed attention. Some of the new attractions include Carenzi races and monster fights that players can wager on.
| Blighted Spear
* New PvP oriented weapons have been added to the Black market vendors. These weapons are known as Blighted weapons and will feature increased stats on the weapon, but they will decay after 24 hours.
| Blighted Staff
* Several quests have had their rewards updated to include the drop of keys to be used for the new higher loot tier. These quests are:
| Blighted Sword
** Aerbax's Defeat
| Blighted Wand
** Aerbax's Prodigal Shadow
}}
** Aerbax's Prodigal Olthoi
** Aerbax's Prodigal Harbinger
** Saving Asheron
* The PK/NPK timer on all worlds (except Darktide) has been reduced to 15 minutes.
* The shard turn in NPC has been changed to 25 shards and a new NPC has been placed by him that takes 10 shards. You can hand in to the 10 shard NPC 5 times a week.
* The Recruiters for the societies will now tell you if you’re below 180 you can't join instead of sending you to the portal which has a level 180 limit.
* There is now a 5 minute timer placed on a player who uses the PK banners in a town to take control of it. This should allow other players to have time to arrive to defend the towns and prevent one person from soloing the town before aid can arrive.
* Vendors and archmages in society halls have had their speech fixed.


So there are just some of the things we have in store for Asheron's Call in September. Please remember that along with everything listed here, there are several new quests and exciting things going into the game for the September event.
== New Titles ==
* [[Plucker of Eyes]]
* [[Warden of the Burning Wood]]

----
|Ulgrim the Unpleasant tells you, "Listen to me, kid, it's not a good idea to go wandering around Northwatch or Freebooter Keep at night.  There's strange things out in the night, and I mean stranger things than a thirsty old man who depends on the kindness of strangers to keep him hydrated and nourished."
=== New Items ===
|Ulgrim the Unpleasant tells you, "That's your hint to get me a stout, kid."


''Stout Rumors''


----
|Ulgrim the Unpleasant tells you, "Oh, those Black Market guys are up to no good again.  Distributing murderous weapons and whatnot.  Well, it's a more dignified calling than what they used to do.  Yep, they used to be Town Criers."
=== New [[Titles]] ===


|Ulgrim the Unpleasant tells you, "You know who's acting a little differently these days?  The Virindi.  I think even they're getting a little zonked in their tiny, buzzing brains from the weird magic in the air, drifting between the ley lines.  Last thing you want to be around is a Virindi on the fritz!  Woowee, what a mess."


----
|Ulgrim the Unpleasant tells you, "Hey, kid.  Put a bet on the Carenzi for me.  On the cute one.  A thousand pyreals.  I'm good for it, you know me.  If you win, you can keep half of it.  Pay me in stout.  And don't tell them it's for me, I've been banned from there for clubbing them in the head when I lose."
=== New Creatures ===


----
|Ulgrim the Unpleasant tells you, "Oh yes, I've gone out and made sure that some of the old cheapskates who used to troll for cheap adventuring outside of taverns made sure to up the ante on their rewards.  Yeah, that's right, I'm talking about you, Nightbane!"


=== Known Issues ===
|Ulgrim the Unpleasant tells you, "I have to say I feel pretty bad for old Lord Whatshisface who became a burning tree in the graveyard.  Makes me shudder every time to look at him, and that's not just because he reminds me of the cratering of Arwic all those years ago."
