SUMMER ETHEREALS


Completing any Blood of Luclin weekly mission will update the ?Blood of Luclin: Ethereals Ahoy!? weekly ethereal mission, which is automatically added to your journal when you obtain any mission that can complete it. As it is a weekly mission, the ?Blood of Luclin: Ethereals Ahoy!? weekly mission may only be completed once a week for 12 Peculiar Medallions.
Completing ?Project Moonchase: Nowhere to Run [Heroic]?, ?Project Moonchase: Nowhere to Hide [Heroic]?, or ?Lunar Locales [Event Heroic]? weekly missions will grant a bonus ethereal reward depending on what the lowest difficulty that any stage of the weekly mission has been completed at. Completing them on the default [Heroic] difficulty will grant 12 Peculiar Medallions while completion on Challenge will grant 14 Peculiar Medallions, and Expert will reward 18 Peculiar Medallions.



ZONES / POPULATION
General


Blood of Luclin heroic dungeons may now be set to the Expert difficulty! The first Expert dungeon entered each day will grant a Grace of Norrath buff, allowing less experienced and geared players the ability to ease themselves into the higher difficulty tiers of heroic dungeons. Completing daily and weekly heroic missions completely within Expert dungeons will grant bonus rewards.
Encounters with bleedthrough will now increase the amount they bleedhtrough by an amount equal to the difference between the encounter resolve - player resolve - 25. So if an encounter 25 more resolve than the player, the encounter not gain any bonus bleedthrough. If the encounter has 26 more resolve than the player, the encounter will gain 1 bonus bleedhthrough.

Lord Vleecan F'Ele's health has been reduced.


Wracklands: The Crimson Barrens [Raid]

Neriak


Attempting to harvest bloodwine roots now has a proper error message, if the player is not on either quest.



FAMILIARS


Season Seven Familiars are now available!
As part of the launch of the seventh Familiar season the underlying systems used by familiars have gone through a complete overhaul to reduce the amount of data stored on characters and the moving parts that the system uses. While the majority of this change should not be noticeable in play, there are a few interface updates that are a notable exception.
The familiar level and experience is now listed directly on the familiar item and can be seen on mouseover or examine.
Event and promo Familiars now clearly state that they cannot be consumed for familiar experience as part of their description.
Familiars no longer cancel themselves when leveling, and instead recast themselves automatically to force their stat buffs to update when they level.

The researchers from Blood of Luclin have finished their research! They are ready to gather their findings and in turn making advanced recipes available for purchase in the Fabrication Hall of Sanctus Seru.
