Undocumented Patch Notes 7/2 Compilation
As usual there are a number of reported “stealth” changes again, it seems however that there are less hidden changes than normal. Let’s hope they start reporting more in standard notes.
General
* Cloaks can now be searched for on the trader
Playfields
* Normal High level mobs in the Khesheta area appear to be easier to kill once again, with Reduced HP pools.
Items
* Reports of many items losing their Gem Slots. If you had gem’s in these items you have also lost your gems.(See Dev Response to this below.)
* The “Alchemist Cache” loot drops that were pulled from the last patch are now back in and working.
* Reports of several weapon’s being decreased in DPS.
Quests
* Regarding the Arena Key quest:If you had the quest in your log prior to the patch you can now enter the arena.If you did not have the quest in your log prior to the patch you still cannot enter the arena.(Funcom has responded to this saying they are still working on this issue with the arena)

New AoC Patch Schedule: once a week
Looks like the twice a week patches are over, lets hope these once a week patches are nice and big.
Now that the first month after launch is behind us, we have decided to change from two game updates a week to one (Wednesdays, 11am GMT / 7am EDT).
There is a number of reasons for this, but these are the most important
ones:
- We want to reduce the downtime.
- We want each new update to be on our test server a few days longer to ensure that everything works as intended before releasing it.
