• Quests

• User Interface
  • The reputation bars from the subfactions of the Tillers in the reputation frame and the XP bar (if the reputation is displayed with the XP bar) are always green now. It was yellow when the standing was between 0 and 2999 Stranger.

Im tempted to change glyphs just to see this.

[Icemunch]

i think you should!

[Shadowwolf]

I did, heh. Was funny but not enough for me to keep the glyph. [spell]57855[/spell] Is more fun, especially since it works on [npc]16998[/npc] =)
