There's something going on at the Temple of Life in Qeynos and there's a blight that's spreading through some of the major cities! If you're of good alignment, seek to help those afflicted folks and travel to the Temple of Life to see if you can unravel this mystery!
Choose to help the Prophet of Bertoxxulous.. or choose to help the Seeress!

If you're of an evil alignment, there's a fellow in Gorowyn that follows the Plaguebringer that may be able to explain what's going on. Take note too, with game Update 45, the present event ingame (the Shard of Hate event) shall come to a conclusion. If you're taking part in curing the hate or spreading the hate, please be sure to wrap up those quests while you have time!
We're blighted, and it's up to you to find out why!

Cures for Inquisitors and Templars will see a huge change in dealing with diseases, physical ailments, magical afflictions and elemental scourges! Coming with Update 45, all four of the priest single-target cure spells will be funneled to one all-purpose cure that'll deal with what's afflicting you (or whomever you're helping).

Again, this change only affects those of the priestly classes, so magical cures from casters won't see this change.

By decree of our weaponsmiths across Norrath, there has been a total overhaul to weaponcrafting (this means even some weapons made via woodworking)! Starting with Game Update 45, weaponsmiths and woodworkers will be able to create new improved crafted weapons with better stats and higher damage ratings. These new weapons may also be "imbued" or "blessed" to add further bonuses! This change will not affect existing weapons crafted prior to the Game Update.

Here are some before and after 'shots, to help show the differences!

Coming to a bank near you, 8 shiny new bank slots to fill, regardless of what server you choose to play on!
  • Before GU45!
  • After, now with 8 more slots!

For PvE servers, you'll have access to 4 new slots of normal bank space and then 4 more shared bank slots to help transfer items from your good and evil characters as well as a brand new ability to share coin as well! For our PvP servers, you'll have access to 4 new shared bank slots too, but due to the unique PvP circumstances on those servers, you'll not be able to share items nor coin to your alternate-aligned characters.

All this and much more to come in the week of May 11th, with Game Update 45!
