Update Notes - April 19, 2022 (http://forums.daybreakgames.com/eq2/index.php?threads/update-notes-april-19-2022.604372/)
ACHIEVEMENTS
Corrected an issue that removed the hydra helm components from the "Automation at it's Best", "Stoking the Forge", and "Change of Tides" achievements.
HOUSING AND GUILD HALLS
Several house items that were recently unearthed are being added to the Loyalty Realtor merchants in Qeynos and Freeport. These items include: Draconic Floating Lamp, Dalnir Anvil, Distillation Tubes, Alchemist's Hourglass, Draconic Brazier with Stand, New Combine Scroll Shelf, Diseased Malarian Plushie, Vekerchiki Warrior Plushie, Fire Wasp Basin, Ghorkaal Treasure Chest, Hate-Fueled Chandelier, Loda Kai Firepit Shovel.
When is a crate not a crate? When it is a sconce, apparently! Who knew that a crate could have no actual storage space and give off light, eh? Item "Draconic Runed Crate" has been renamed to "Draconic Runed Sconce".
Kael Drakkel:
Beck Quantem, Time Traveling Home Goods vendor, was a tad overenthusiastic with the items that he was selling, and included items that were already available via live events or other means on the Kael Drakkel server and some items that were bugged or otherwise never intended to be released. These items have been trimmed from his very large list, leaving him with a still Very Large List of items. In addition, he has unearthed the Far Seas Fountain and is now offering it to players on Kael Drakkel for a very reasonable rate.
ITEMIZATION
The following weapons now have two Red adornment slots available:
Vacrul Executioner's Headsplitter
The Butcher's Bloodletting Buckler

Charms found in Coffers and Coffins content now have Blue adornment slots.
Nights of the Dead Vallonite Warrior Costume - Males now equip an exclusive Vallonite appearance, to better match the female exclusivity, and still adhere to Vallonite uniforms.
The unnamed fish-looking ring now has a non-fish-looking name.
MISSIONS
The Merchant's Den [Heroic II]
Corner the Market [Challenge] Merchant Mayhem [Heroic II] now reset every 3 days.

Corrected a text issue for the messaging when Poppet the Thrasher is defeated.
Forlorn Gist: Akashic Incursion [Raid]
