In short
Release 149 is now live, bringing a variety of improvements and additions focused on quality of life and preparing for upcoming seasonal events. Players interested in decorating will find new options with the addition of White Rose Bushes, bouquets, arrangements, and azaleas available from merchants across the world. A significant effort has also been made to improve lighting within player homes – windows should now consistently allow light through, though some houses still require further mesh adjustments.
Combat saw minor tweaks including clarified debuff icons for Air Elemental attacks and Flesh Flayer roots, alongside a restriction preventing Potions of Green Growth from being used in towns. The world itself has received attention with numerous stuck spot fixes across several zones like Brittany Estates, Celestis, and Ulfheim. Preparations are underway for the return of the Luminous Atavist on May 16th, and the awakening of Aether Dragons, Liches, and Corpions later in the month as the two-tailed comet approaches.
Finally, the Crown Store has returned to its standard sale percentage, and subscriber reward items have been added in preparation for future activation. Several merchant bundles were updated to include missing rose seeds, and a fix was implemented for lava damage volumes within Blackblade Pass player dungeons.
