Age of Conan: Hyborian Adventures – Undocumented patch notes for June 23 update

The undocumented patch changes for Age of Conan: Hyborian Adventures have been compiled and released to the gaming community. Apparently, the developers decided to sneak in a couple of fixes including one for the Wounded Child quest. Care to find out more? Then head on over to the full article.

By Crom, it seems that the developers from Funcom have missed a couple of important patch changes in the June 23 patch notes! Thankfully, a certain enterprising forum poster (yes, krazymagic, I mean you) compiled the undocumented patch changes for Age of Conan: Hyborian Adventures and released it to the general gaming community.

Perhaps the biggest change is a ninja fix to the Wounded Child quest which now makes the girl spawn a few minutes after being claimed by another player! When I did this quest I had to wait a full six hours before seeing the darn kid so this is a welcome change.

The developers have also added some new bags to the general merchants for players who feel like they need to increase their inventory storage on a regular basis (and to be honest, who doesn’t?). 

Of course this patch also brought about a number of new bugs that the developers will
have to resolve including yet another problem with the Alchemist tradeskill which causes a player’s system to crash when the Tradeskill book is opened.

So without further ado, here’s a list of the undocumented patch changes for the June 23 Age of Conan: Hyborian Adventures update:

General

• Heroic Defense Rating has been renamed to “Defense Rating (Heroic)”
• Tooltips for several classes abilities and items have been improved to give better information on Mouse over.

• Some Battle Keeps which had no levers previously now have them.
• You can no longer jump around some of the walls on certain keeps where it was an issue (not all fixed)
• All battle Keeps have been re-named.
• Rest ability can now be used in combat, as long as you are not taking damage.

Quests

• Captives quest chain in Fields of the dead Outpost is now working
• Wounded Child quest is now working properly. The girl will now respawn in just a matter of minutes.
