Level 1-59 Item Revamp
Items all across Norrath have gotten a little love from the development team! Old world items from levels 1-59 have been updated to bring them more in line with the rewards from the newer adventuring areas. Even better, you won't have to worry about getting anything new. Everything will be updated automagically as you wear it! Gnome mechanics across the world have snuck into your rooms while you were sleeping to update all kinds of items, from armour to heritage quest rewards, so be sure to check your inventory.
