== Update - Thursday, November 29, 2007 ==
=== [[Bonus Mission Pack]] ===
The Bonus Mission Pack has been enabled for those players who made qualifying purchases in the [[Guild Wars In-Game Store|online store]] during the Bonus Mission Pack promotion.

* To access the Bonus Mission Pack missions, speak to [[Durmand]] [Historian] in any of the major port cities: [[Lion's Arch]], [[Kaineng Center]], or [[Kamadan]].
* For each mission, you will receive a [[storybook|book]] that tells the story leading up to the mission, along with any weapons your character will use during that mission.
* To launch the mission, equip any provided weapons and click the "enter mission" button found inside the story book.
* The Bonus Mission Pack missions are all single player adventures where you play as the characters from each story book. You will become that character for the duration of the mission and your normal skill bar will be replaced with that character's set of skills.
* Upon completing a Bonus Mission Pack mission, you will be returned to the port city you were in previously or to your character's home port city. Your story book will have three new pages added at this point, summarizing the events that occurred during the mission as well as the effect those events had on the ''Guild Wars'' world.
* You can take completed books back to Durmand to have the stories authorized. You can then trade in authorized stories to one of the four story scribes (located next to Durmand in each port city) for a customized weapon from the historic period you witnessed during the mission. However, you will no longer be able to keep the book in your Xunlai storage once it has been authorized.
* Completing each mission also unlocks “[[Discovery Mode]]” for that mission, adding three hidden, bonus goals for you to discover. For each bonus goal you complete, Durmand will give any one character on your account an additional authorized story. The additional stories can only be earned once for each account.

=== Skill Updates ===
We will be evaluating the following changes over the course of the next week. Additional adjustments may be made during that time period.

==== Assassin ====
* {{skill icon|Deadly Paradox}}: increased [[Energy]] cost to 15.
* {{skill icon|Shadow Prison}}: increased [[recharge time]] to 25 seconds.

==== Mesmer ====
* {{skill icon|Clumsiness}}: increased recharge time to 7 seconds; decreased duration to 4 seconds.
* {{skill icon|Cry of Pain}}: decreased recharge time to 12 seconds.
* {{skill icon|Empathy}}: increased [[damage]] to 10..55.
* {{skill icon|Overload}}: increased non conditional damage to 5..40.

=== Bug Fixes ===
* Fixed a bug that caused [[Black Lotus Strike]] to fail if the target was not [[Hex]]ed.
* Fixed a bug that caused an improper error message to appear when [[Signet of Return]] or [["Finish Him!"]] was used against an invalid target.
* Fixed a bug that caused [[Magebane Shot]] to disable non-spell skills.
* Fixed a bug that caused a character's tattoos to disappear and skin tones to appear altered when wearing the [[Ritualist Opulent Raiment|Ritualist's Opulent Raiment]], [[Scale Leggings]], and [[Beaded Shoes]].

=== Miscellaneous ===
* [[Siege Devourer Feast]] now shows the proper error message when there is no exploitable corpse within range.
* Replaced the oozes and rats in [[Lion's Arch]], [[Kaineng Center]], and [[Kamadan]] that were removed at the end of the [[Halloween 2007|Halloween Event]].
* Added effects for the skill [[Spectral Agony]] when used by [[Mursaat]].
* Updated an old version of the [[Diessa Icon]] to use the most current statistics for that item. The earlier version contained a +10% enchantment-lengthening bonus that is not supposed to exist on [[focus item]]s.
* Updated Automated Tournament map rotations.
=== Guild Wars Wiki notes ===
* Added a [[Zaishen Chest]] to the [[Isle of the Nameless]]. This chest could be opened for free and gave a random gold drop or tome. It is unknown if this is a bug or not. After a second (undocumented) update, this appears to have disappeared. <noinclude>
