Here are the notes for patch 1.0.25. As mentioned in the
Comm-Link 44 released last week this patch is focused on fixes for Blessings, and also balance changes for weapons.
Later this week we will also be releasing a Dev Blog talking about changes to Crafting, Sire Melk’s Requisitorium and the Armoury Exchange!
