Today’s hotfix notes include the ability to relocate your City Bind Point to any city you are aligned with, more crafted Marks of Manaar equipment, and other changes to live events and raids.

From the EQ2 Forums:

GENERAL

You can now bind in any city of your alignment:

• If you are a citizen of Freeport, Neriak, or Gorowyn you can bind in any of these cities.
• If you are a citizen of Qeynos, Halas, or Kelethin you can bind in any of these cities.

POPULATION

• West Freeport: Master Vlox and his student, Galluss the First, have completed a course in speaking Common.

TRADESKILLS
