## Traits, Traditions, and Tactics Choices

* All characters logging in after this update will have their previous Personal Traits, Racial Traditions, and Enemy Tactics choices reset. This includes any selections that were pending.
* All previous selections will be offered again. You may receive your selections in a different order this time. Class-dependent choices (like Tactics) will be presented after the others. Characters who gain these abilities as they level up normally will get them in the normal order.

**IMPORTANT!**

* You will not be able to receive quest rewards until you make all pending choices available to you.

## Training

* Characters now receive a new personalization option every ten adventure levels: Training!
* Training allows you to choose one of four new abilities. Each of these spells or arts builds off abilities you've been using but substantially increases their effectiveness and benefit.
* The choice is yours whether you prefer a stronger attack, a more potent buff, a heartier heal, or a handier utility function. Training allows you to enhance specific aspects of your character and be a bit unique.
* These Training abilities have a longer span of effectiveness than most common spells and arts, so they'll prove very useful to you.
* Note: Characters who reach levels 10 and 20 will not be prompted to make their Training selections until they leave their current zone and enter another. This is a known issue that will be corrected in a future update.
* Remember, you MUST make all Training choices presented to you before you can receive any quest rewards.

## New Dungeons

* Rumor has it that a vile creature named Gobblerock has taken up residence in a newly discovered section of the Freeport Sewers. Those brave enough to end this threat to the Overlord's domain should consult knowledgeable individuals south of the Freeport gates.
* Sources in Qeynos tell us that a previously condemned section of the Catacombs has been reopened. This new area contains some rather formidable adversaries that threaten the city. Faithful servants of the Queen should seek out more information at the lookout point east of the Oracle Tower in Antonica.
* These new dungeons are intended for groups of adventurers around levels 25 to 30.

## Gameplay

* Group members can now join other group members in a specific instance of a zone even if that zone has reached its capacity.
* If a character dies and is given the option to be revived in a different zone, the revive window will allow the player to choose from multiple instances if they are available.
* Harvesting quests can no longer be completed by purchasing the items from a broker.
* Spells that debuff the target's maximum health or power now work appropriately.
* Fixed a bug that could cause you to fall under the world while swimming.

* You are no longer able to swap bags into your shared bank if one of the bags contains a lore or no-trade item.
