Alpha Two Update Notes 0.18.3 - Friday, December 19, 2025

Character, Archetypes & Combat

• Characters logging in at level 1 - Fixed an issue that could cause characters to appear as level 1, if they logged out and back in again while tracking many Commissions.
• Fixed an issue where characters could be stuck with a recurring PvP flag after leaving the Harbinger event area. The PvP flag will now correctly remove itself when you exit the area surrounding the Harbinger.
• Ranger - Fixed a visual bug that would cause bows to continue animations infinitely, after using Barrage or Salvo.
• Rogues will now exit stealth when interacting with harvestables. For general interaction objects it will interrupt the interaction if the character enters stealth.

• Pet abilities may now be spot cast on other targets without changing their current sic’d target.

• Fixed an issue that would prevent pets from being able to be summoned in some locations.
• Fixed an issue that could cause Summoner pets to disappear unexpectedly.

• Pets that are combatants no longer bypass the AOE setting.
• Pets should now properly receive both targets if the Dual Targeting setting is active.

• Smoothed Summoner pet movement.

Caravans

• Duels - Fixed a bug that would give a “Cannot Duel While in Combat” error even though both characters were out of combat.

• Hand-Eye Coordination quest - You no longer need to kill additional goblins to collect the required items after having just killed goblins in the previous objective.

• Safe, Fast, Sure quest - Fixed a bug with misleading quest available icons for this quest.
• Shadow of Proof quest - The NPC marker will disappear correctly after completing the objective.
