■ We would like to inform our players regarding errors with the rewards for clearing "Alexander - The Arm of the Son (Savage)" and "Alexander - The Burden of the Son (Savage)", as well as the associated trade-in item.

This notice will inform you of the issues and their corrections made in today's hotfixes and planned for Patch 3.21, and the actions we will be taking to compensate those who have already cleared the content mentioned above.

1. The reward for clearing "Alexander - The Burden of the Son (Savage)" is an "Illuminati deep gobdip".

The intent was for “Illuminati deep gobdip” to drop from "Alexander - The Arm of the Son (Savage)", after which players could upgrade their Allagan Tomestones of Lore weapon before challenging "Alexander - The Burden of the Son (Savage)".
With today’s hotfix, clearing "Alexander - The Arm of the Son (Savage)" will now drop an “Illuminati deep gobdip”.

For parties who have already completed "Alexander - The Arm of the Son (Savage)", you will be contacted individually by GMs and compensated based on the number of clears.

2. “Midan Manifesto - Page 4” is required to trade for an “Illuminati deep gobdip” from the Idyllshire NPC “Sabina”.

The intent was for “Midan Manifesto – Page 3” to be required to trade for an “Illuminati deep gobdip”.
This will be fixed to work as intended in Patch 3.21.
* No changes will be made to the quantity needed for an “Illuminati deep gobdip”; you will need 4 “Midan Manifest – Page 3”.

For those who have already completed "Alexander - The Arm of the Son (Savage)", please keep the above in mind.

We sincerely apologise for the errors with these rewards, and we thank you for your cooperation and understanding.

■We have temporarily halted the timer for the automatic reclamation of housing.

If your housing/property is currently initiated for automatic reclamation, you can lift the automatic reclamation status simply by entering or performing construction on your house.

As a note, once the automatic reclamation timer is restarted, the countdown will continue on from the point when the timer was halted.
This does not apply if your house/property no longer has a timer because the automatic reclamation status was lifted on it due to your interaction.

*Please see below forum post for details regarding the temporary halt of auto reclamation.
