The Release Notes and Known Issues have now been updated for Update 9 Patch 1. Have fun!

Recipes exist in all three schools of crafting to create “Shards of Potential” of various strengths that can be applied to a crafting blank to increase its maximum enchantment level. Higher plus Shards of Potential are significantly more expensive to create than lower plus Shards of Potential. Click here for our guide to Maximum Enchantment Levels and Shards of Potential.

The click here does not appear to be working.

Did you bug report it?

Of Course

Oops. Sneak peek at what's coming! This was not intended to be published in time for today's Lammania update, I'll remove that from the notes.

A sneak peek only works if we get to see (even briefly) what's behind Door Number 13.

Thaarak hounds are less prone to dancing and falling down

Aw, I always liked that. I thought it made them incredibly creepy. By far the creepiest DDO enemies. I hope they still do it sometimes.

Can you confirm in Mineral II weapons that were previously broken will be retroactively fixed, or fixable in the stone of change?

*Edit seems to have been confirmed elsewhere

Is it safe to craft ALL GS?

[MrkGrismer]

NEW: Items deconstructed prior to Update 9 Patch 1 no longer state that they are craftable, even though they can be used for crafting.

ACK! I hope I don't loose track of the craftable item I made once this patch goes live.

*grumbles* they are going to nerf the mabar handwraps.

Howso? I didn't see anything in the release notes to indicate that.

Look at the known issues. They are apparently doing too much damage.

I hope that to mean that they are doing "more damage than intended" is doing "more damage than their abilities advertise and are supposed to do."

[toughguyjoe]

I hope that to mean that they are doing "more damage than intended" is doing "more damage than their abilities advertise and are supposed to do."

I'm hoping that it means:

"On Lammania right now, because of the changes in Update 1, Mabar handwraps are doing too much damage. We're going to fix it in a future patch"

So it wouldn't be a nerfing but a bringing back down to what we have now.

Also meaning they'd be buffed for a while.

I am thinking they're probably going to nerf the handwraps outright. :/

[MrkGrismer]

Hm, not listed as 'new', I must have missed that when it was first put in there.

Which begs the question, how much is 'too much'?

I am also hoping it just means that they are doing more than they are supposed to (by the description). If they are, I haven't really noticed. I still wear Frost of Pure Good anytime I am not in an undead heavy area.

They probably aren't supposed to have both Greater Undead Bane and Disruption anymore, since the latter is now basically Superior Undead Bane.

The current Disruption alone is about equivalent to what Greater Undead Bane and Disruption together used to be. Extra damage plus a Vorpal-like effect.

I think they should take off Greater Undead Bane, but put on a "Favored Enemy: Undead" enhancement that gives +4 enhancement bonus vs. Undead. If that's too much, then just a +4 attack bonus.
