We have one quick Hot Fix note related to the Midsummer Event before we get to the questions:
-
The [Midsummer] Spirit of War quest now grants credit as follows:
-
Character must have the Spirit of War's Mark buff active OR
-
Character must be of the realm that currently owns the keep under attack by the Dark Dragon
-
This means that if the Dark Dragon is currently spawned at Dun Crimthainn, the realm that owns Dun Crimthainn will be able to get credit for the quest in any location of the Frontier, even if they do not have the Spirit of War's Mark buff active.
-
This method of credit will last as long as the Spirit of War is still at the keep.
-
If the keep is neutral, no realms can get quest credit unless they have the Spirit of War's Mark buff active.

We're pleased to announce the release of our Item Search tool!
This is the first in a long line of tools we'll be releasing in the coming months that use our new website's layout. As each new tool is released we'll be continuing to flesh out the new site's layout and menu. Once the majority of those tools and resources have been released, we'll be converting over the main site to this new layout so we're excited to hear your initial feedback!
The Item Search tool is nearly complete as is but we'll be adding even more bells and whistles to it, like ensuring that all of the item abilities show properly and enabling searches for specific item abilities, as soon as they are ready. In the meantime, please let us know what you think and have fun digging up those items!

Yay Friday! And another Friday means another Grab Bag!
In a previous Grab Bag on June 7th, we answered a question on realm timers with our plan for implementing a realm switch timer, 30 minutes for subbed accounts, and approx. 4 hours for Endless Conquest accounts (triggered only if you earn RP/player kill). Following on from that, we've created a realm timer poll to garner feedback on the change, so please vote and let us know your thoughts! :)
