Known Issues

• Avatar positioning when mining stones from the north is not optimal, a part avatar’s foot is on top of the rock.
• The quest Nice and Easy is currently very hard to complete due to a bug in the defeat legion objective. The objective only counts if the player is the one fighting the last battle defeating the legion. Correct would be contributing to the defeat of a legion.
