Darkfall’s second expansion, Conquer the Seas patch notes

Quick Patch May 16th

Tasos says,

Yesterday’s patch was very large, and there were some things about it needing correction. We are currently applying a new patch, during our daily maintenance, which does the following:

• Tooltip on spells will now always show even if you have the hotbar on the right side of the screen
• Some spells would skill up when using Conscript (Starter) Weapons. This has been fixed.
• Launch in Lesser Magic will now skill up when used
• Bone was incorrectly selling for 2 gold from the Arcanist (less than the open market). It’s now selling at 4 gold
• A problem some players had with selecting a starting town in the character creator has been fixed
• Volcano buy requirements have been adjusted

There were also some concerns regarding password security while logging into the external web interface. These are unfounded as a challenge-response mechanism is used for authentication and your password is never transmitted.
