===================================

Dark Age of Camelot
Test Version 1.85e Release Notes
Tradeskills, Quest System, and Class Changes
August 30, 2006

===================================


NEW THINGS AND BUG FIXES

- Clockwork Cat - As a token of appreciation, Royal Escorts located outside the throne room of each Realm will gift players who pre-ordered Labyrinth of the Minotaur with a special clockwork cat.


Buff Changes

In an effort to reduce downtime, buffs with durations based on timers have been normalized across the realms. We will be monitoring the effects of this change and make adjustments as necessary.

- The duration of many buffs (self, pet-cast, group, and realm) have been increased. Most were increased to have one-hour durations, with the exception of the group-based resist buffs. These were set to have 30-minute durations.

- Many buffs (self, pet-cast, group, and realm) are now uninterruptible and may be cast while moving. This change does not apply to self-only bladeturn buffs.
