The following updates have been made to the Elemental Confluence hunting ground:

-The former strict restrictions on teleportation/location magic within the Confluence have been relaxed: You can now use location magic to view other players within the same portion of the Confluence as yourself, and the Confluence now has a special "out-of-realm" vision in Locate Person (116) to better allow pin-pointing where exactly someone is. You can now use teleport magic within the Confluence though, if you are not attuned, there is a chance for an elemental backlash to cause damage and disrupt the teleportation attempt. Further, general return magic (like Spirit Guide (130), Symbol of Return, etc) will attempt to return you to within a room or two of a point of elemental tranquility.

-Confluence portals will be much less likely to spawn on the trails between towns and will not intermingle Confluence portals from different towns in the same area. This should greatly reduce/eliminate the issue where someone could enter a portal near Icemule and, upon exit, find themselves close to Solhaven. It will take a few days for the portals to fully adjust to this new spawn scheme.

-The breath weapon maneuver attack of the air elementals has been adjusted to not inflict RT even if the maneuver is successfully resisted. Cold damage now slows down air elementals temporarily.

-Earth elementals should no longer be falling on players when they are already prone.

The previously mentioned treasure and UCS updates are still pending.
