GU58

Game Update 58 released to Live servers on Tuesday, October 12, 2010.
==RB Coverage==
===User Interface Changes===
A mount tab and currency tab will be added to the Inventory (Character) window in GU58. If you have a custom UI piece for the Inventory window (named eq2ui_mainhud_persona.xml), it will most likely cause your game to crash after GU58, so rename or update the ui piece first!
The mount tab will hold up to 50 mounts and allows you to use an equipped (gives stat and speed bonuses) and appearance (purely aesthetic) mount. A new hotkey will allow you to mount or unmount from the mount tab, knowledge book or hotkey bar.
The currency tab allows you to store alternate currencies such as City Tokens, Void Shards, Marks of Manaar, Elemental Tokens, world event tokens, and so forth. If it's not coins but can be spent on a merchant purchase, chances are it can be stored in this window, freeing up inventory space!

Greater Faydark saw a large change to many quests, had house item rewards added to several and even a quest hub got shifted around! Look to see what all has changed.
*Greater Faydark Quest Series
===Housing & Tradeskill===
*New housing additions! All 6 room homes in player cities had an outside room added on. See the individual city housing pages for a gallery of pictures.

*New rewards! The three Kingdom of Sky quest series (Tenebrous Tangle (EQ2 Quest Series), Barren Sky (EQ2 Quest Series) and Bonemire (EQ2 Quest Series)) now reward house items! Players who have previously completed the entire series since GU55's release can speak to eq2 mob:Ellywig Sprocketbaker in The Bonemire to purchase as many of these house items as they would like.

==Official Patch Notes==
These patch notes were published the night before GU58 launched and are subject to change.
===ZRAXTH'S UNSEEN ARCANUM===
* Before his death, High Shaman Zraxth meddled in dark magics, spiritual and arcane. The secrets he discovered and the planar forces that he tapped into should have been lost forever within his tower upon his death. Those who are attuned to spiritual forces are now having visions of a sinister power trying to force its way into Norrath, from somewhere hidden deep within the hallows of Guk. Now you must travel to the Ruins of Guk, and challenge what lurks inside the Unseen Arcanum.
* Zraxth's Unseen Arcanum is a single group heroic zone that has the choice of either normal or challenge mode for players of level 90.
===SPELL FX REVAMP===
* Based on player feedback many of the spell visuals have been updated.
* Many sounds have been restored to what you had before the revamp. Dirges and Troubadors should sound much more familiar now as well as Priest healing spells and buffs.
* Many of the casting and combat animations have been restored. The issue where the weapons were sheathing and unsheathing during casting should now be fixed.
* Fixed an issue with entering and exiting stealth on all classes. It should now be more visually obvious when stealth breaks and when entering stealth.
* Lifetaps, mana taps, etc should no longer incorrectly show the damage portion on the caster.
* Fixed all Wards, Roots, Mezz, Slow, Fear and Stun FX to show for the duration of the spell. These FX should now be big enough for all to see. Also, it should now be more obvious when a root or mezz breaks as the FX will turn off at the right moments.
* Some specific updates include but are not limited to:
** Dirge: Notes will now persist on "Death's Door”.
** Troubador: Notes will now persist on "Daelis' Dance of Blades".
** Wizard: "Fusion" and "Ro's Blade" have been restored to their former glory.

** Drag any mount to the “Equipped” or “Appearance” mount slot.
** Summoning a mount will now use the effects from the Equipped slot but apply the appearance from the Appearance slot.
** There's a new “Summon Mount” ability in your Knowledge Window as well as the bottom of the ‘Mount' tab, which may be dragged to your hotbar.

** To better display the name and type of mounts that will be appearing in the mount window, many of the items have been renamed to be more concise.
===PLAYER HOUSING===
* You will not be able to purchase and move into a new house if the total number of items you are bringing (old house item count + number of items in old moving crate) is more than the total number of items the new house can hold (new house item limit + new house crate limit).
* You will no longer be able to place or move items in your house if your moving crate is overloaded. Take items out of the crate until it is back down to its limit to be able to place and move items again.
