The following are also now available as Prefixes:
Fiery Detonation
This weapon is imbued with a fiery wrath. On an attack roll of 20 which is confirmed as a critical hit this burning power will be released, dealing damage to the target and all enemies near it for 15d6 fire damage. A successful Fortitude save (DC 39) reduces this by half.

Electric Storm
This weapon is imbued with an electrifying wrath. On an attack roll of 20 which is confirmed as a critical hit this shocking power will be released, dealing damage to the target and all enemies near it for 15d6 electric damage. A successful Reflex save (DC 39) reduces this by half.
Radiance
This weapon is imbued with a brilliant, radiant power that deals an additional 4 to 24 points of light damage and blinds the target on a successful critical hit.
Steam
This weapon is constantly building a magical steam within. When the weapon is used, this pressure can be violently discharged, periodically damaging enemies with an additional 2 to 16 plus 8 points of untyped damage on a successful hit.
Greater Sunburst
This weapon blazes with the eternal fury at the heart of a sun. Occasionally, this power comes to the surface, unleashing a nova of light which will blind the struck enemy, dealing severe light damage to it and any other nearby foes.
Arcane Detonation
This weapon is imbued with unfathomable arcane energies. On an attack roll of 20 which is confirmed as a critical hit this energy will be released, inflicting 15d6 force damage to the target and all other enemies near it. A successful Reflex save (DC 39) reduces this damage by half.

U20 Quests:
Winne Harker is in Eveningstar near the Mailbox. Speaking with her will grant and teleport you to the quest: A Study in Sable.
Only one player in the party can speak with a guest in “A Study in Sable” (this includes Sir Ebermund but not the servants). Additional players attempting to speak with the guest will receive an alert that someone is already talking to the NPC.
You will no longer get the wrong DM text when you show the rat to a guest who is not currently a thrall.
The butler will no longer walk away while you're talking to him. (It's so hard to get good help these days.)
Once Lord Sable dies, any surviving thralls (but not vampire spawn) become permanently stunned.
Monsters from A Study in Sable should now appear in the Monster Manual
Lord Sable can only be killed when he is in the light. Also, Lord Sable now uses the Eldritch Knight enhancement, Eldritch Tempest.
Experience has now been set.
"A Study in Sable" is now CR 26 (instead of CR 25.)
The end chest now has a chance of dropping new named loot.
The tooltip for Golem’s Heart now informs players that it allows “a 2% chance on your being hit to heal you for 20 to 120 Hit Points and deal 50 to 300 Electric damage to your surrounding enemies.”
The AoE damage from the Golem’s Heart Augment will no longer affect your allies.
+1[W] damage has been added to Hunter’s Slayer (Named Great Sword available from A Study in Sable) so it now does “(15-50) 3.50[2d6] + 8 Slash, Silver, Magic.”
Golem’s Hearts (Named Augment available from A Study in Sable) now have Minimum Level: 28
Talbron Tewn is in House Cannith near the Marketplace Entrance. Speaking with him will grant and teleport you to the quest: Brothers of the Forge (previously known as Whence Was I Born).

Reincarnation:
NEW: Heart Seeds will soon be introduced. These ingredients can currently only be obtained by turning in 100 Commendations of Valor, using the existing barter shop accessed by the Commendations of Valor themselves. Heart Seeds are Bound to Account and fit inside Ingredient Bags. You can turn in 42 Heart Seeds for either an Iconic True Heart of Wood or an Epic Heart of Wood.
Please note that Commendations of Valor are currently not opening their Barter Box, so you will not yet be able to see Heart Seeds on Lamannia.
We have revised how various Hearts of Wood can be earned in game. Heroic True Hearts of Wood will be untouched: they will remain available through Tokens of the Twelve. Iconic and Epic Hearts of Wood are still obtained through Commendations of Valor, but these Commendations have been moved out of Saga rewards and into end reward lists for all Epic Quests.
Commendations of Valor are now available in end reward lists of quests if the following is met:
The quest was run on any Epic difficulty, except for Casual.
You did not have a Quest (Experience) Ransack penalty when completing the quest.
Note that more Commendations show up for higher level quests.
Note that more Commendations show up for harder difficulties (Normal, Hard, Elite).
Commendations of Valor are a Bound to Character currency which fit in the Ingredient Bag.
If you remove the Commendations of Valor from your ingredient bag and doubleclick on them, a shop interface will open in which you can spend your Commendations of Valor for the following rewards:
Potion of Insightful Ability (+2) (Bound to Account) currently requires 40 Commendations of Valor on Lamannia.
Potion of Spellpower (+25) (Bound to Account) currently requires 35 Commendations of Valor on Lamannia.
Potion of Prowess (+2) (Bound to Account) currently requires 35 Commendations of Valor on Lamannia.
Iconic True Heart of Wood (Bound to Account) currently requires 4200 Commendations of Valor on Lamannia.
Epic Heart of Wood (Bound to Account) currently requires 4200 Commendations of Valor on Lamannia.
The exchange at the barter vendor in the Twelve to trade Tokens of the Twelve for a Heroic True Heart of Wood has been reinstated.
Tokens of the Twelve and Fragments of Tokens of the Twelve have been returned to the U13 “Web of Chaos” quest chain.

Kruz ran into an unfortunate event while on vacation, so you won’t be able to find him at his normal location in House Jorasco or the Test Dojo. Swinging by his place in House J directs you to the location of the new Reincarnation Guide.
The XP curve while leveling has been adjusted. Current numbers on Lamannia are listed at the bottom of the Release Notes. (Numbers may see further adjustment in the future.)
