Other than the fact that lots of people's guild affiliations are screwed up, mine included...

Improved the quality of most Crafter and Collector Weapons.

Collectors in Perdition Rock and Sorrow's Furnace now give XP enhancing scrolls in return for collectable monster drops. Conversely, there are no longer crafters for these scrolls.

Increased the level of difficulty and reward in The Underworld. Several areas have been updated with new creatures to add variety to fights and emphasize teamwork. (Apparently there's a debuff mob at UW entrance now)



Anyone have specifics on these?

Even clearing maps in random corners of the shiverpeaks seems more injoyable and easier! O.O

Well I am happy with it.. my guild was screwed up too, I lost my cape (am guild leader) but after they added the second little patch is all back to normal.

Was a bit upset about having to finish the game to do show of the quets.. but hey as said, it should stop the runners from getting there, and I am on last mission anyway :P

Over all excellent update, and best thing.. keys are sold at the merchant, so no inflation on them by the looks of it..

THey key's I'm buying from Southern Shiverpeak merchants are costing from 400-750g.

I'm assuming keys are reigonal, so an Ascalon area key opens Ascalon are chets and so forth.

Insane. I heard that one of the green items is:
Corel's Staff
+30 Health
+10% faster cast time
Reduced Bleed Time
+30 Healt

The last two mods seem to be head/wrapping mods. This item is insane, I hope it can't be used in PvP, or it can be unlocked for PvP.

That's probably not true, mainly because the green items are named after the six bosses in SF. So you should be seeing stuff like Flint's Staff and Tarnok's Sword or whatever (don't take those two items seriously though).

If that's anything to go on, the green drops are gonna be good...

I love most of the update, and I got a small, but satisfactory burst in additional skill points.

One thing that confuses me is, why is the Warrior's Bane PvP template still Necromancer Primary?

Faintheartedness and Soul Reaping seem rather silly to be the sole skills/attributes from your primary profession. I would have thought they'd drop Conjure Phantasm and left Enfeebling Blood, or at least used Enfeeble.

In any case, with half of the skills being from the illusion line, and 6 of them being from the mesmer profession, Mesmer looks like the obvious choice.

Correct. The keys from camp rankor will work in GF, SF, and the paths that lead to them.
WIll have to assume that works for keys in other areas.

Somehow, I think this patch is going to change the value of items in the economy in the near future.

I mean the game said "There is a new build of Guild Wars available. Please exit and restart the game" or something, AFTER I got the main update. Did it about 2 mins ago

Yeah, that was a bit odd. THe first new build message came out and people started screaming and the towns empties. A few minutes later, Granite Citadel and Camp Rankor have at least 20 distrcits each, and then another message. A lot of dejected WTFs came up and people grudgingly quit and rejoined.
