- At level 50, 60, and 70 molds and patterns may drop off boss creatures.These patterns will be for very light, light, medium, or heavy armor. Examining the patterns will give you a quest, and upon turning it in to a  Quartermaster, you will receive a piece of armor.

- Meet Sir Bayden Cauldthorn, Knight of Valor, in the Commonlands near the entrance to the Freeport Graveyard.
- Danak Dhorentath and the minions of Fear have excavated an ancient cave in the Feerrott, near the Temple of Cazic-Thule. Even the bravest adventurer may gasp when setting eyes upon the terrors within.
 

*** Nektropos Castle: Tribulation ***
 
- Whispers abound of strange occurrences near Nektropos Castle. Some claim to have heard the spirit of Lord Everling himself calling out.
- Rumor has it that recent earthquakes have uncovered burial chambers near this haunted ruin. Perhaps exploration of one such unearthed crypt near the castle could reveal more information.
- Venture through Nektulos Forest to Nektropos Castle and unravel the mysteries... if you dare!
- This new journey through one of our most popular landmarks is intended to provide a challenge for a full group of level 70 characters.
 
 
*** Guild Raid Revamp ***

- Not to be outdone, the Overlord has commanded that maps be scribed for the Graveyard, the Sunken City, the Sprawl, and the Ruins.

- The Narin Heirloom quest has been fixed. V'Tal's brother can once more be found in Fallen Gate but he is no longer triggered and not in the same spot he once was. The level of the quest has been increased, it is now heroic, and a reward has been added.
 

*** Items ***

*** Zones and Population ***

- Due to a rigorous training program enforced by the Queen, guards in Antonica are now a bit more heroic.


*** Tradeskills ***

- Any of the Crafting Trainers in Freeport, Haven, or Qeynos can certify characters for their crafting class and specialty. The message received at levels 9 and 19 have been modified to make this clearer. The old certification NPCs can still be used and they now have the Crafting Trainer purpose tag.
- A number of recipes that would previously show the item stats for the crude product will now show you what a pristine product will look like instead.



Plus un certain nombre de petites choses non officiellement posté dans le patch préLU26

-All rare tradeskill armor should be getting about a 4% increase in it's mitigation value. This should help increase it's value to adventurers. This should be going in with Update 26.

- We're likely going to be introducing some restrictions to trial accounts related to their ability to communicate with players outside of the island. This includes mail, joining guilds, sending unsolicited tells, etc. We'll have full details by the time Game Update #26 is live.

-  I wanted to give fair warning for a change that's coming in Game Update #26. We're changing the way you get your tradeskill profession very slightly to make it a lot clearer. Basically, we're posting an NPC at each major tradeskill instance entrance that will be called "Crafting Trainers." You will speak with any of these NPCs at levels 9 and 19 to get 10 and 20, respectively.

The impact this could potentially have is that you will no longer be able to save up experience into the next level. For example, if you have 150% XP into level 9 and get your profession, you will be at 0% XP into level 10 when you transition. If you have any characters that need to get their level 10 or 20 professions with XP saved up, I recommend making the transition before Game Update #26.
