<p style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;"><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif;">DUNGEON FINDER</span></span></p><p style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;"><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif;">Dungeon Finder is a matchmaking system designed to make it easier for groups to get together for dungeons.   The system requires a minimum of six people to be using the system to create groups.</span></span></p><p style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;"><span style="font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: small;"> </span></p><p style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;"><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif;">To use the Dungeon Finder, click the “Dungeon Finder” button from the EQII menu on your XP bar. (Or open the “Zones” menu by using ALT+Z.)</span></span></p><ul><li><div><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif;">You can queue solo or as a group (only group leaders can queue a group) for any dungeons you qualify for (based on level, critical mitigation requirements and if you have the required expansion on your account) </span></span></div></li><li><div><span><span style="font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: small;">You can either queue for a Random Dungeon (and get a +25% XP bonus while playing that dungeon) or you can queue for specific dungeons by only clicking the checkboxes next to their names. (NOTE: You don’t get the +25% XP bonus if you queue for specific dungeons.) </span></span></div></li><li><div><span><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif;">If you leave the dungeon, and your group stays within it, you can use the “Return” button to zone back to your group without travel time.   (Note:  PvP Groups:  If you zone out of a DF instance and your alignment doesn’t match that of the leader you are disbanded from the group.)</span></span></span></div></li><li><div><span><span style="font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: small;">If your group isn’t full, the group leader can use the ‘Reinforce’ button to allow more players, currently queued in the Dungeon Finder (and who qualify), to join the group. </span></span></div></li><li><div><span><span style="font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: small;">If your group finishes a Dungeon Finder dungeon, the group leader can queue for another dungeon immediately (without needing to leave the dungeon the group is currently in). This should result in almost no wait time for the next dungeon as long as you still have a full group. </span></span></div></li></ul><p style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;"><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif;">Note: The zones offered in the Dungeon Finder are based off your character’s actual level (not your mentored level). Mentored level has no effect on Dungeon Finder matchmaking.</span></span></p><p style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;"><span style="font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: small;"> </span></p><p style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;"><span style="font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: small;"> </span></p><p style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;"><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif;">POPULATION / ZONE PROGRESSION</span></span></p><p style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;"><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif;">Tower of Frozen Shadow: Haunt of Syl’tor</span></span></p><ul><li><div><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif;">It should no longer be possible to get into a death loop at the entrance of Haunt of Syl’tor.</span></span></div></li></ul><p style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;"><span style="font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: small;"> </span></p><p style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;"><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif;">The Hole: Spirit’s Resonance</span></span></p><ul><li><div><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif;">Nortlav the Scalekeeper should no longer get stuck after returning from possession.</span></span></div></li></ul><p style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;"><span style="font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: small;"> </span></p><p style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;"><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif;">Sebilis</span></span></p><ul><li><div><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif;">Gruplinort in Sebilis should more reliably drop loot.</span></span></div></li></ul><p style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;"><span style="font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: small;"> </span></p><p style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;"><span style="font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: small;"> </span></p><p style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;"><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif;">ABILITIES / ALTERNATE ADVANCEMENT</span></span></p><p style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;"><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif;">Warden</span></span></p><ul><li><div><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif;">Shatter Infections now triggers on any damage.</span></span></div></li></ul><p style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;"><span style="font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: small;"> </span></p><p style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;"><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif;">Predator</span></span></p><ul><li><div><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif;">Smoke Bomb should get resisted less often.</span></span></div></li></ul><p style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;"><span style="font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: small;"> </span></p><p style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;"><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif;">Dirge</span></span></p><ul><li><div><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif;">All forms of Intrepid Strike have been changed.

The ability has been changed to stack additively instead of multiplicatively with Potency, Flurry and Multi-Attack. Had this not been addressed, the advantage from Intrepid Strike would have grown indefinitely with those stats.</span></span></div></li></ul><p style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;"><span style="font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif;
