• General
  • An issue where mounts were added to the mount quick slot on pickup, even when the slot was not empty, has been fixed
  • An issue where the daily deals were paying out items without a rarity has been fixed. In order to fix the items currently in player’s inventories and banks these will be replaced with those of the proper rarity. As a result of this any items capable of being found through the Daily Deal can be moved around in your inventory, bank, or potion slots. This could affect pets, mounts, emotes, costumes, potions, tonics, elixirs, physics, and essences. If these items are not where you left them, they have been moved to your character’s inventory.
