Highlights
Weekend Warfront: Assault on Ekrund
The ancient Gates of Ekrund guard the only mountain pass that is wide enough to accommodate an army. For the Dwarfs, recapturing these gates and sealing them shut is of vital importance in stemming the greenskins' tide of destruction. However the Greenskins remain relentless in their attempts to break through.
This weekend the Gates of Ekrund will be the weekend warfront from 12:00 on Friday to 12:00 on Monday Altdorf time. You get +50% XP and Renown in this scenario, and extra rewards from completing the event tasks.
Completing all tasks rewards the title: "Gatekeeper".
Realm versus Realm
Open World Campaign
- Fixed issue that caused zones to lock without 3 BOs fully capped.
- Realm lock will be applied when you first get in combat instead of when entering an RvR lake, this allows players to quickly get out of the RvR zone if they just logged in.
- Realmlock will be refreshed when participating in a fort.
Ranked Scenarios
- Fixed issue causing bracket size to not shrink as much as it should with higher number of active scenarios.
- Fixed issue with flag not being interactable after getting out of combat.
- Lowered item requirements in below RR70 bracket from item level 45 to item level 40.
Combat and Careers
General Changes and Fixes
- Removed the 300ms delay on heal & AP potions before the effect from them applies.
Bug Fixes
- Force Opportunity now properly scales with Path of Hunter mastery points instead of Path of Axeman mastery points.
User Interface
Character Names
Names of characters that have not been logged in for more than one year are now free to use. The old inactive character will be automatically renamed and its owner can pick a new name on next login. The newly implemented automation will keep releasing new names, from inactive characters, for you to use.
Live events
- Live event rewards can now be claimed for 7 days after the event ended, instead of 20 days after the event ended.

Quests
Empire Chapter 1
- As the quest "Return Fire" is currently bugged and we don't have a fix for it yet, the next quest "Silencing the Cannons" will now be available at the same time as "Return Fire" (after completing "Training Course"). This should no longer prevent you from continuing the quests of the Empire starting area.
Greenskin Chapter 15
- Explosive Solution: Whole quest line is now available and reworked
- Dwarf Detachment: You will now have to take the head of Longbeard Hjolfersson who is now patrolling between Blackwater and the Overtop Outpost
Guilds
- Guild Standard Resurrection is now working again.
- Guild Standards should be able to be picked up after placing.
- Guilds whose leaders who have not logged in within the last 26 days will be demoted and a new leader will be selected from the next highest ranked guild member.
Creatures
- Creatures should now disappear after scavenging or butchering.
