• Fixed an issue preventing progress on the Priest quest chain “Secrets of Elune”.
• Fixed an issue where “Allegiance to the Old Gods” quest was not completable while in a raid group.
• Carendin the Undercity Warlock will now discreetly dispose of any Acolyte’s Notes stuck in warlocks’ bags. He apologizes for the inconvenience.
