According to patch message coming this will get the pet focus and drops from sarith raid, probably also be on the T2 raid currency vendor for 24 rebellion chits so looks like anyone in T2 raids will have it soon as it goes live. One other thing though is what about the ppl who won this item b4 its gonna get changed? won't they get screwed cus its classes will change.

[Aither]

Classes don't have to change on this item. Pet foci can be added to any piece of gear without changing its class usability. Pet foci only work for bst mag nec, so any other classes who happen to wear this item would get no pet effect as they do not have the pet templates that pet foci use to increase a pets power.

[svenalo]

It depends how they do the change, and at the very least BST has to be added. They don't need to remove any classes, but that doesn't mean that they won't...they could have some kind of turn in replacement deal which they have done in the past.

So this is getting EM14?

[Conjurous]

Yep EM14.

[Savil]

I might be wrong here, but didn't vora say that the devs told him em14 wasn't going to be added to this exp?

Test Server Instructions: Open the Marketplace and purchase for free the "Temporary Mercenary Slot Item" this will cast a buff that unlocks a mercenary slot for testing.

- Players can now keep a roster of mercenaries that they can switch between. Mercenaries operate the way the used to, except that if you purchase another merc, it will be come active and replace the merc you had active before (if any). Dismissing a merc will cause the first remaining merc in your roster to become the active merc (though suspended). Transferring a merc will cause the target player's active merc to be suspended and the newly transferred one to become active.
- To switch mercenaries in your roster, open the Mercenary Management UI.
- Added the new command /mercswitch. With no arguments, it lists the current band of mercenaries and displays the one that is currently active. Adding a parameter allows switching between mercenaries in the band.


*** Miscellaneous ***

- Added the "View Only" guild bank item setting (that does not allow for withdrawal). When you promote an item this is the default setting. To withdraw the item, the permission must be changed to a different item setting.
- Manage access in guild plots is no longer tied to VoA ownership.


*** UI ***

- Made the map window resizable.
- Added the key map option in Options -> Keys for Potion Belt Slot 5.
- Fixed a minor issue with a stretched arrow in the guild management window.
- The Mend button will now properly depress and un-depress, and will no longer disappear when zoning.
- Fixed an issue where in full screen mode a 3x4 hot bar would resize to a 2x6, and then 1x12, every time the UI was reloaded.
- Changing the ranks of guild members in the access tab should no longer cause the alphabetical ordering to swap. Additionally, issues with the access tab when members are removed should no longer occur.
- Fixed a bug that was causing the guild access list to not update when the hide alts or show offline buttons were enabled or disabled.
- The options window now displays its options as checkboxes instead of large buttons. Clicking on the boxes or label text will enable or disable the options. When an option is enabled, its text is highlighted.

EQUI_GuildManagementWnd.xml

EQUI_MercenaryManageWnd.xml
EQUI_NameChangeMercWnd.xml

I might be wrong here, but didn't vora say that the devs told him em14 wasn't going to be added to this exp?

Savil

That was the word on the street. However it is quite hard to avoid the points we brought up in the thread Pyro started.

And as anyone can see, whatever dev said it would be 'too hard to implement now' told a fib of some sort. Not like most of us didn't know that already, but still.

[Voragath]

It's being added and this was one of the changes that was considered when I brought up the missing Focus. Currently the item is missing a BST allowance. I do not remember what Chandrok was doing about that but the easiest solution would be just to add BST to it.

[Savil]

It seems as tho I remember you saying that the devs told you it couldn't / wouldn't be done this exp... What changed?

Their minds? What does it matter - we got a focus that wasn't there before.
