- Ulgrim the Unpleasant tells you, "Those unfriendly Gear Knights up north are building walls now? Well, that makes it simple, just send someone in there to finish them all off, so they're trapped inside, and then people can sit up on the walls and shoot them like, well, Gear Knights in a walled-in area, or something..."

Known Issues
- There is an inconsistency with the field generators inside the Forgotten Tunnels with 2 on the south side and 1 on the north side, it appears the doubling on the south side was an error.
- The intended change to move the portal for the Castle of Lord Mhoire Quest to the west statue caused the statue to disappear. For this month there is a permanent portal in the middle of Hebian-To at 39.0S 83.3E that takes you to the Mhoire Castle Courtyard.
- When the Ruined Amulet of the Two Hander is applied to Sunstone Gauntlets the icon and name do not change.
Typos
- The Shield of the Radiant Blood has an incorrect name of "Kite Shield".
