New Help Interface
Players may now access the new Help Interface by selecting the Help icon (Question Mark) on the Menu Bar or by pressing H. The following five options are now available to choose from:
Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
The FAQ includes a number of questions and answers available to players with just a click of the mouse.
Game Manual
Players may select from various categories to learn more about Warhammer Online. The manual covers everything from game basics and RvR to Warhammer lore.
CSR Appeals
The Help Interface now contains a very in-depth yet simplified means for players to appeal for assistance from a Customer Service Representative (CSR). Players will be able to easily locate and categorize their appeal based on the issue they wish to report.
Players may only have one open appeal at a time; however, players may report an inappropriate player name or game play violation while they have an active request for assistance.
Players who need CSR assistance should choose the category which their question/concern falls under and add detailed information in the text boxes provided.
When a player has an appeal waiting for a CS response, the question mark in the menu bar will display as dimmed.
When a current appeal needs further information from the player, the question mark in the menu bar will pulse to indicate their attention is required.
Players may always add more information to their current appeal at any time by using the 'Add To Appeal' button. Note: This button will only be displayed when players have an active appeal.
Report a Bug
To report a bug, players may select the type of bug they are reporting and then enter their bug in the space provided. Please note that bug reports will not receive a response.
Send Feedback
A drop-down menu is provided for players to categorize the type of feedback they are submitting before entering their feedback in the space provided. Please note that feedback submissions will not receive a response.
There is now an auctioneer at the Black Market in the Maw who will show up when the Inevitable City is under attack.

Along with this, a broadcast message and 'Role Play' chat will be sent out to the entire RvR lake extolling the virtues of the victors.
Achievements
The following achievements have been enabled:
Unlocks have been enabled for a few city events.
Secret achievements involving plungers have been enabled in tier 4 content for each pairing.
Achievements for salvaging have been enabled.
Bestiary
The following changes have been made to content relevant to the Bestiary section of the Tome of Knowledge:
The Bestiary entry for Rogue has been renamed to Bandit.
The Watcher entry has been moved from the Unmarked Daemons section to the proper section: Daemons of Tzeentch.
A few bestiary tasks had bugs fixed and polish applied.
Wights will now properly give kill credit for Wights. This fixes an issue where Wights were giving kill credit towards an incorrect monster type.
A number of behind-the-scenes changes to treasure indexes have been made to ensure that the drops needed for a number of bestiary tasks have the proper rarity. As well, they have been modified to have a chance to drop as long as someone in the group has need for the item; i.e. have not complete the associated unlock.
All items that are received and required for Bestiary tasks have been modified to ensure they are bind-on-pickup and indicate they are not trash items.
Rewards
The following changes have been made to the rewards given by the Tome of Knowledge:
All pocket items have been audited to ensure that they indicate they are not trash items.
The Tome Trainers in the Capital City library have had their titles changed to 'Librarian' from 'Trainer' to indicate their purpose in serving the Tome of Knowledge. The visual icon over their head remains as a training icon.
Maps
The following map changes have taken place:
The Dark Elf Chapter 20 map has been added into the Tome.
Map points have been added for High Elf and Dark Elf Warcamps in Caledor.
Old World Armory
The unlock text for a small number of armor set pieces have been updated to fix a bug in which the wrong piece unlock text was being given.
Tutorial Introduction Quest
The tutorial introductory quest text has been tweaked for content as well as grammatical and spelling issues.
Apothecary
Players can now create dyes. To create a dye, a player will need a Pigment, Fixer, and a special container. Crafting merchants sell Fixers and Dye containers. Pigments are usually obtained as a byproduct after a very successful Cultivation attempt.
Players can now create Gold Essence. To make a Gold Essence, a player will need a Goldweed, Quicksilver, Gold Dust, and a special container. Goldweed is grown by Cultivators. Gold Dust can be found by Scavenging or on some humanoid monsters. Quicksilver and Gold-Essence containers can be bought from crafting stores.
Potions effects have been revised. Healing potions are now more potent.
Potion makers can now have two types of super success. The first type of success results in the next level up of that potion, which usually has a higher level requirement. The second type of success results in a more potent potion that has the same level requirement (these are very good).
The UI tooltips regarding the "yellow zone" on the Unstabilityometer have been revised. Note that if the stability of a mixture is in the yellow zone, depending on the overall stability, the recipe will fail or be volatile.
Volatile potions can go wrong when they are used. The side effects can either knockdown a player, make them mute for a short time, or make them drop their weapons.
The stability of Cloudy Water has been increased.
Cultivation
Soil, Nutrients, and Watering Cans all now reduce the time it takes to grow a plant. These "additives" also increase the chance of hybrids and other weird items being grown, as well as the chance that a seed will be returned as a product.
Players can now obtain dye Pigments when they cultivate. For example, Musty Elvish Parsley (used to make restoration potions) can be grown into a hybrid called Trenchant Elvish Parsley, which can be used to make healing potions. Sometimes when Trenchant Elvish Parlsey is grown, you will also get Honeycomb Extract as a bonus product (it rubbed off an insect). Honeycomb extract can be used by Apothecarists to create Yellow dye.
Stabilizing Apothecary ingredients can now appear as Cultivation bonus products.
Growth times have been reduced.
Butchering/Scavenging
Players with these skills can butcher/scavenge any corpse.
When a player butchers/scavenges a corpse, the loot that is obtained is dependent on the player's skill level. The higher the player skill, the better the loot. However, monsters will not give loot that is above their level.
When a player butchers/scavenges a corpse, the chance of a skill-up is dependent on the player's level versus the monster's level.
The skill-up chance becomes less the closer the player's skill is to 200.
Magical Salvaging
Players with this skill can break down items that are of uncommon rarity or higher into fragments and essences. Fragments are the main ingredient in Talisman Making.
When a player salvages an item, the rarity of the obtained fragment is one rarity lower than the salvaged item. There is a small chance that the player will get a fragment of the same rarity as the salvaged item.
When a player salvages an item, he or she gets to choose which stat bonus to extract from the item. The resultant fragment is of that type.
When a player salvages an item, that item is destroyed.
Players can refine essences by right clicking on stacks of those items in their backpacks. Ten Echoes will refine into one Whisper. Five Whispers will refine into one Magic Essence. Magic Essences are used in Talisman Making.
Tier 1 and 2 monsters can now also drop very-badly damaged equipment (Shattered, Ruined, and Sundered Equipment). These uncommon items can't be repaired, but can be salvaged. Players will be able to skill-up Salvaging using these items.
There are Salvaging trainers in each chapter 2 and in each city.
Talisman Making
Players can create Talismans by combining a fragment, a Gold Essence, a Curio, and a Magic Essence in a Talisman-Making container. Fragments and Magic Essences are obtained by Magical Salvaging. Curios can be also found on some humanoid monsters and from scavenging.
Gold Essence is created using the Apothecary skill. To make a Gold Essence, you need a Goldweed, Quicksilver, Gold Dust, and a special container. Goldweed is grown by Cultivators. Gold Dust can be found by Scavenging or on some humanoid monsters. Quicksilver and Gold-Essence containers can be bought from crafting stores.
Talisman-Making ingredients have "power". The higher the skill-level requirement and rarity, the higher the power. The final properties of a crafted Talisman depend on the total power of all ingredients used to make it.
The rarity of the Fragment used determines the rarity of the crafted Talisman. There is a small chance that whenever a Talisman is crafted it will be one rarity higher than expected.
There are Talisman-Making trainers (Hedge Wizards) in each chapter 2 area and in each city.
Some equipment has Empty Talisman Slots. If a player Shift+Right-Clicks on an item with a talisman slot, that player can then drag a talisman onto the slot and fuse it to the equipment. The equipment will then get the bonus from the talisman.
Common, uncommon and rare talismans have timers on them. The timers begin to countdown when the talisman is fused to an item. Very-rare talismans do not have timers.
Merchants sell very basic Gold Essences, Curios, Magic Essences, and containers.
Known Issue: Armor and resistance talismans will not work if they are attached to a weapon.
Member and Officer notes sections have been added to the guild UI.
We have reformatted and improved layouts for Public Quest, Battlefield Objective, City and Scenario trackers.
