• The Dyrnwyn sword recipe got a minor tweak.
• Ashlands enemy spawn rates were rebalanced, and enemies no longer spawn close to the Ashlands dvergr ruins.

• Flametal spires were tweaked for easier Flametal mining and are now immune to lightning damage, and fir saplings can survive in the Mountains again.

Fixes 11

• Fixed a crash that could make killed enemies spawn lots of resources and prevent that world from reloading.
• Fixed portals not connecting when rebuilt, and fixed Catapulted items losing level, durability and similar properties.
• Fixed non-cinder fire damage turning items into coal, and fixed Flametal Helmet and Berzerkir Axes not being picked up automatically.
• Grausten arched roofs no longer leave a gap when snapped above other pieces, and Grausten pillars can now be built to their intended maximum height.
• The Ashwood door can be walked through without getting stuck, and several Ashwood pieces (26 and 45 degree walls and beams, big arch) no longer flicker.
• The build preview no longer shakes when placing stacks of wood, core wood and bones, and the lava lantern no longer floats in mid air when its support is removed.
• Basalt platforms no longer spawn duplicates near zone edges, and an issue that stopped them always spawning on Xbox is fixed.
• Ruins in Ashlands should no longer catch fire, some locations no longer spawn a disconnected spiked piece, and sinking Flametal spires no longer respawn when the area unloads.
• Trollstav and Dundr are no longer backwards on item stands, and the Dundr reload animation now matches the actual reload at low elemental magic skill.
• Fixed storm lightning ignoring the flashing lights setting, a weird ridge outside the world edge, and status effects looking too large on players.
• Disabled ESRAM usage on Xbox One to work around a Unity bug that corrupted shadowmaps for some particle systems.

Other 6

• Asksvin no longer sound like wolves when petted, the correct icon shows while riding Asksvin, Lord Reto's name now appears orange, and the Fader Boss Stone emission lines up with its stone carvings.
• The vegvisir_placeofmystery spawn was changed so the next place of mystery is found from the previous one, and some locations were tweaked.
