Read all about it and leave feedback here: Personal Loot Reward Update in Renewal of Ro [Heroic III] zones (https://forums.daybreakgames.com/eq2/index.php?threads/personal-loot-reward-update-in-renewal-of-ro-heroic-iii-zones.609334/)

To Slay a Dragon
Legacy of Guk
Tale of the Hero
A Dark Diary
Necessary Elements
ITEMIZATION
New charm, ear, finger, and wrist items can now be found in [Solo], Graceless Solo, [Heroic I], [Heroic II], and [Raid] dungeon content, as well as in the rewards for the Weekly quest It's Alright, Hizite [Heroic I].
QUESTS
Panda, Panda, Panda 2022 quests will no longer mention Frostfell in the completion text that flashes across the screen.
Epic Spell Quests:
Defeating challenges needed for the ancient upgraded spell within Takish Badlands: The Boundless Gulf should no longer send the success message for upgrading the spell if you do not require that specific target. This was a visual bug only.
The Final Assault - Monks, Templars, Illusionists, and Rangers now properly receive the intended weapon rewards upon defeat of the Tunarian Circle of Elders.
Dissatisfied with Freeport - Corporal Henk Rimebreaker may still be looking for a fight. You can converse with him even if you have already completed "Listening in for Qeynos".
