Age of Conan: Patch Notes 23rd of June

Tags : account,power leveling, game card

As usual with a new patch, there will be undocumented patch notes. We've waited awhile before posting todays undocumented changes, so as much as possible will get discovered. Now awhile has passed and krazymagic's list of undocumented notes should be fairly complete.

A couple of noteworthy things is that "some" Battle Keeps which didn't have ladders, now do. Improvements to performance overall has been reported, and that is to be expected, considering the official patch notes mention that improvements was made to the client.

You can use rest in combat now, obviously while not taking damage. Disliked the long respawn rate in Purple Lotus? It has been increased greatly.

One of the major things in this patch was all changes to the necromancer. There's many, many unlisted changes/adjustments and they've been collected in these undocumented notes. Also, a developer later replied to clarify the changes.
