These hotfixes address a few class issues, but focus primarily on raids and quests. Included are a few welcome fixes for players experiencing lockbox drama or buggy farms.
- Players can no longer roll need on Ghost Iron and Elementium Lockboxes -- they've been changed to greed roll only.
- The issue causing Occupied Soil on Sunsong Ranch to remain occupied even after Vermin had been removed has been fixed. Rejoice!
