One-Click-Solution to change active quest
Whenever you click on a quest listed in the quest window [hotkey: Q] the quest will instantly become the active quest which will be also displayed in the Quest Progress Indicator on your upper right side of your screen.

Quest Progress Indicator Improvement
Whenever you login, the Quest Progress Indicator will display the same quest that you had active before you logged out of the game.



Bugfixes

Support & Forum Button missing from menu
Whenever you open the menu [hotkey: ESC] you will be able to see two buttons, one for the support and one for the forum.

Feature: Premium Gold / 1 year corrected
Players that purchased this feature falsely received five additional slots for quests next to the regular ten slots. These extra slots have been taken out of the feature. All quests remain open for the player (the quest log displays 15/10 quests) but the player cannot accept any new quests unless all additional quests have either been completed or manually deleted from the quest log and the number of listed quests has gone below 10.

Cape of the Black Squire
It is now possible to apply dyes on the item Cape of the Black Squire.

Deep Sea Claw Bow Classification
The item Deep Sea Claw Bow was falsely classified as longbow, now the bow is listed as a shortbow.

Spirit Stones flawed
Due to a bug it was possible to activate Spirit Stones inside cities. This bug has been fixed and Spirit Stones can now only be activated outside of cities.
