- Multiple Classes - One-tick buffs that trigger other buffs (like Unity buffs or some progressive spells) will now count down in non-combat zones rather than blinking forever.


*** AA ***

- Warrior - The Combatant's Pact description now explicitly lists that it focuses both Druid and Cleric versions of promised healing spells.


*** NPCs ***

- Fixed an issue that prevented The Buried Sea Hunter achievement, Brineslayer, from being completable despite having already completed the Adept Hunter of the Buried Sea achievement.


*** Overseer ***

- New Overseer Agent Packs will be available in late July
- - The Fighter Pack, Worker Pack, and Traveler Pack are coming to the marketplace
- - These packs grant 3 uncommon agents with jobs that match the pack type:

- - New recruitment quests for new iconic Agents have also been added.
- Quest Party Fixes
- - Quest party slots with a combination of jobs/traits that necessitated using duplicates of the same iconic Agent have been adjusted to NOT have such job/trait combinations; this fixes a few quests that could not be started because of the iconic rule.
- - Quest party slots with a combination of jobs/traits that necessitated using a particular Agent that lacked the requisite job rank have been adjusted to NOT have such job/trait combinations; this fixes a few quests that had a combination of jobs/traits that could not be fully matched.
