Turbine's ambitious Update 23: The Mark of Death content patch for Dungeons & Dragons Online has officially launched, ushering in an Epic version of the Orchard of the Macabre adventure zone, a new raid, armor and shield mechanic changes, Paladin class improvements, the addition of a Harper enhancement tree, and more. Let's cover the "Of Special Note" items:
Epic Orchard of the Macabre
The Orchard of the Macabre now supports Epic levels! Includes Epic versions of Ghosts of Perdition, Desecrated Temple of Vol, Inferno of the Damned, and Fleshmaker's Laboratory, in addition to a new raid!
Armor Up
Update 23 brings a series of changes aimed at improving the ability of melee-focused characters to face some of DDO's toughest challenges, and bring increased balance between melee, ranged, and spell-casting characters. These changes include the introduction of Melee Power, Ranged Power, Magical Resist Rating, and adjustments to Physical Resist Rating, among other things. The full list of changes is available below.
Mirror of Glamering
The Mirror of Glamering is a new item which allows someone to copy the look of an armor, goggles, or helmet and create a new cosmetic item! Like the way a particular armor or helmet looks? Make a cosmetic version of it! The item from which the cosmetic copy is being made from is not consumed, nor altered. The created cosmetic item is Bound to Account. Items which have special racial requirements will create a cosmetic item with the same racial requirements. Items that appear and remain in the quest upon exit cannot be Glamered. The Mirror of Glamering can be purchased in the DDO Store, and can also rarely appear in Daily Dice. (NOTE: The Mirror of Glamering is not currently working on docents, although we expect this issue to be corrected in the next game update.)
