- This will accelerate development of future dungeons using the new difficulty system as mob levels are no longer hardcoded and can be set dynamically by the dungeon.

- These can be forged with shards and used to reset your dungeon cooldowns so you can get forge materials faster.
- [Forge] Most Tier I and Tier II forge items no longer require shards to make.
- Material costs of most forge items have been tweaked slightly to account for this change.
- [Forge] Many of the smaller forge GUIs have been updated to look cleaner.
- [Forge] Improved auto-fire on all forge bows, fire rate now smoothly scales with water affinity when holding right click.
- Previously you would have to spam right click to take advantage of the increased fire rate granted by water affinity because holding right click only triggers 4 times per second. Now holding right click will send a trigger 20 times per second.

Comment
True Aether Bow
- PvP Damage Nerf increased from 10% --> 20%
Developer Comments:
Players have been reporting that this weapon is a bit too powerful in PvP combat after the rework. We feel that a slight pvp damage nerf should help balance things out.

Comment
True Dragon's Talon (Paragon Item)
- Reduced lightning cooldown from 25 sec --> 10 sec
Developer Comments:
This paragon item is due for a rework due to power creep from other forge items. In the meantime we've reduced the cooldown of the lightning ability.
