Patch Notes for October 16, 2012

Here are the patch notes for this morning's game update (as posted by Piestro on the EQ Forums):

*** Highlights ***

- Look to the sky! While the sky itself is not falling, parts of it may seem to be. Magus Burlshin, who has hidden himself in the lands around Erillion, has a curiosity about these things. If you share that curiosity, you may want to seek him out.
- In celebration of Harvester's Haunt, look for new items and ornamentations on creatures throughout Norrath.
- The traditional Harvester's Haunt events will run from October 19th to November 7th.
- Hero’s Forge robes have arrived! The Cloth Robe Ornament is granted as a reward set to cloth wearing classes when first purchasing the Hero’s Forge feature. If you already own the Hero's Forge, you can purchase the robe ornaments from Keliss Arden in Plane of Knowledge.


*** Items ***

- In celebration of Harvester's Haunt, look for new items and ornamentations on creatures throughout Norrath.
- Hero’s Forge robes have arrived! The Cloth Robe Ornament is now available from Keliss Arden in Plane of Knowledge. It is also granted to cloth wearing classes when purchasing the Hero’s Forge feature.
- The Guild Hall Anchor Package is now listed as Druid- and Wizard-only on the loyalty merchant.
- Removed errant stats on a number of unequippable or quest items.
- Boots with Hero’s Forge ornaments now display the correct appearance when a robe is worn.
- Adjusted the amount of experience required for the Tears of Alaris evolving item to reach level 20. The amount of experience required to reach level 20 is about what it previously took to reach level 16. At level 20 you can now right click the item to transform it into an augmentation.


*** Quests & Events ***

- Added the God Learner achievement, completed by finding some secret lore in Veil of Alaris.

This achievement is completed by hailing Sentry Stones in the various VoA zones. The hails MUST be done in the following order and as far as I can tell only the the stones found at the /loc in this post work for the updates. Also you can't be invisible to do the hails.

1. Sepulcher of Order: a worn sentry stone (182, -5, -1)
2. Windsong Sanctuary: a battered sentry stone (1139, -461, 28)
3. Pillars of Alra: a worn sentry stone (-308, 976, 411)
4. Erillion, City of Bronze: a sentry stone (1276, -2090, 66)
5. Resplendent Temple: a sentry stone (1809, -338, 409)
6. Sarith, City of Tides: a battered sentry stone (-663, -636, -3)
7. Beasts' Domain: a sentry stone (-6540, 1388, -1)
8. Valley of Lunanyn: a worn sentry stone (-433, 936, 4)
9. Argath, Bastion of Illdaera: (-378, -120, 13)

may have to do with rain of fear
they nerfed my class (necromancer) last patch to my group heal that anyone with it on could get it to proc
one of the reasons why we got groups was cause of Reluctant Benevolence , while i still proc it alot its self only and no one else in the group can anymore
Take your Havoc and shove it
