REWARDS AND ITEMS
- Toys that modify the look of your weapon now display your original enchant or illusion enchant accurately on the new weapon.
PROFESSIONS
- All players that fight with the opponent and have the necessary collecting skill may now skin, mine, and gather a large number of skinnable, mineable, and gatherable adversaries.
Note from the developers: We’ve tweaked the skinning rules to make “skinning” (the process of skinning, mining, and harvesting herbs off foes) a more group-friendly experience. The bulk of “skinnable” foes will now follow standard tapping rules and may be skinned by anybody who has interacted with them and has the capacity to do so. Some weaker and more specialised foes can only be skinned once, but rare and strong enemies may be skinned by anybody who confronts them and is competent.
ACCESSIBILITY AND USER INTERFACE
- The mouseover tooltip for Arena groups in Group Finder now shows the specialty of their party members.
- The player’s highest rating from a previous season is now shown in the Mythic+ Rating discussion links.
- Quests with a time remaining counter now feature a clock symbol next to them in the quest log.
- The contrast between the gold, silver, and copper currency symbols and the backdrop has been increased.
