RIFT 4.2: Hotfix #9 9/13/2017
Rift 4.2 Hotfix #9 lands today, and with it a really long set of bug fixes, and a few tweaks to classes. Of note, are fixes to LFR pre-made group queues, and a change to the penalties for the Cleric eternal weapon. Also, Intrepid Instant Adventures are now re-enabled.
GENERAL
* Notoriety purchase limits are now character based instead of region based.
* Fixed the overly bright sky in the Volcanic Playground dimension.
ZONES AND EVENTS
* Fixed an issue with some lower level zone events giving lower level currency to lvl 65+ players that were properly mentored for the event.

SHIMMERSAND
* Quest: Follow the Coin: Clarified in the quest text that the quest must be completed in the dungeon on Standard difficulty
VOSTIGAR PEAKS
* Assaulting forts during zone events should no longer occasionally reward low level essences.
Instant Adventures in Vostigar Peaks will now count towards the weekly quest “Planar Assault” as they should.

* Instant Adventures in Vostigar Peaks will now properly contribute to the objectives for the Celestial Adventures weekly quest.
LOOKING FOR RAID
* Accepting the map invite for LFR if queued while as a premade inside of a raid will now properly teleport you to the correct map.
* Queuing for LFR again after completing LFR will now properly place your raid in a new instance of that map and teleport you to the entrance. However, from this point forward, you will be considered a premade, not an LFR raid.
