Update - Thursday May 24

Automated Tournaments

• Players can now speak with Tolkano [Tournament] to spend their Tournament Reward Points on various armor and weapon skins.
• The Automated Tournament clock now changes appearance when it is time to join the current round.

Item Updates

• Armor Insignias and Bonuses
  • Players can now obtain armor insignias from all campaigns. Profession-restricted insignias will only drop in campaigns in which characters of that profession can be created.
  • Crafted armor in Prophecies and Factions now supports insignias. The insignia bonuses are meant to replace the previous inherent armor bonuses and require several additional changes:
  • From this point onward, armor pieces newly crafted in these campaigns will not have inherent bonuses. The crafting costs of these armor pieces have been reduced accordingly.
  • All existing level 20 armor from these campaigns now have insignias in place of their inherent bonuses. Please note that the bonuses on these armor sets have not been altered. The only change is that these bonuses now come from insignias.
  • All existing lower-level armor pieces from these campaigns now support insignias but have had their inherent bonuses removed.
  • Numerous armor sets have been renamed to avoid redundancy with insignia names.
  • Lower-level collector armor pieces from Prophecies and Factions now support insignias. Level 20 collector armor does not.
• Ascended Armor Changes and Additions
  • The armor sets crafted in Droknar's Forge have been divided between the two armorers in a more organized fashion.
  • Several Ascended armor sets have been renamed to avoid naming conflicts with the corresponding level 20 armor sets.
  • A new "Labyrinthine" tattoo set has been added for Monks at Marhan's Grotto.
  • In Prophecies, Mesmer, Monk, Necromancer, Ranger, and Warrior headgear may now be crafted with a variety of attribute bonus options.
  • Existing Lieutenant's Helms crafted in Prophecies now have a +1 Tactics bonus in addition to a Lieutenant's Insignia.

Miscellaneous Item Changes

• The Icy Dragon Sword is now considered a rare item. This change also means that it is now exempt from loot scaling.
• To help prevent trade scams, "The Heart of Ice" Prophecies quest item no longer shares icon art with sapphires.
