• The Twelve has unearthed a pair of ancient altars that exhibit the curious ability to bind objects to their owner when the item is placed upon the stone with several Khyber Dragonshard Fragments. One such stone has been placed next to the Lordsmarch Bank in the Marketplace, the other is just outside the base of the Twelve's tower. These devices are known to have other VAST and MYSTERIOUS powers, which will be revealed after further research. [You can now bind any object you desire by using the Stone of Change. Place your item within the device along with a stack of Khyber Dragonshard Fragments and activate the device. Items with higher minimum level requirements to equip require more Khyber Dragonshard Fragments to bind.] For an official beginner's guide to the eldritch device, click here.
• Additional altars have been discovered in various locations. It is suspected that these altars are powerful tools to create new items and upgrade the effects on these items. More research is needed to learn just exactly what these altars can do and how they work.
• The attack progress has been adjusted as follows: +0, +0, +5, +10, +10. For one handed weapons and dual wielders the 5th attack is the same speed as attack 4 so we are in good shape with them.
