* Natural Resistances now no longer resist against Hollow damage.
* Corpses of monsters no longer teleport due to our "stuck monster" fix.
* We made some changes to the Queen's quest such that the key Eviscerators needed to spray players should no longer stop spawning. This should also allow Aun Railrea to make his triumphal return.
* Silencia now sells the Axe, Claw, and Atlatl glyphs.
* Silencia's Golem now returns Crossbow, Bow, Atlatl and Wand items for the appropriate ingots.
* The Modifying Tool is now droppable and givable.
* All former Atlan weapons are now givable, but still no-drop on death. They are also now hookable.
* There was a problem with some of the "Isparian Arms" bows and atlatls with their damage modifiers against certain types of creatures. This has been fixed.
* Hiro now returns a Red Gorget when he first receives a Red Gorget from a player, as opposed to a Green Gorget, which was a bug.
* Lia Tze of the Thorsten's Armor quest had mysteriously disappeared. Thankfully, she has decided to return.
* Treatise on Essence had referred to Kara as the location of the Fathomless Chasm. While this was by design and not a bug, we decided to ease confusion by having the text refer to Sawato instead.
* The Boon now correctly refers to red as the color of 5th circle spells, and green as 3rd circle spells.
* Minor typos have been corrected in some of the Isparian Arms NPCs' dialogue.
* There are a couple of new Town Crier strings.

There are a number of other issues we are aware of, such as the Fellowship panel bugs, making the bronze trophy items no-drop and no-give, and players' concern over the requirements to craft the various Isparian weapons. The first two will be addressed in June's Event, and we will continue to listen to feedback about the Isparian weapons, and make any tweaks as necessary.
