Menzoberranzan Campaign
Players could previously claim Menzoberranzan milestones 2 and 4 rewards on all characters. This was an error on our part. As per our other campaigns, we intended these rewards to be reclaimable once per account. We have corrected this error, and, apologize for the inconsistency. Players whom had managed to get multiple characters through these campaign steps will get to keep their rewards, but future claims will be limited to once per account.
• Campaign Milestone 2 and 4 rewards (Mount Tokens and Tradebars) can only be claimed once per account.
User Interface
General • Campaign tasks that award Boon Points will no longer display 0 Boon Points in the task tooltip.
○ An overlay of the count is also now on the item icon.
