Quarion posted a few updates for the items in developments for Module 6:

General:
The Twelve has unearthed a pair of ancient altars that exhibit the curious ability to bind objects to their owner when the item is placed upon the stone with several Khyber Dragonshard Fragments. One such stone has been placed next to the Lordsmarch Bank in the Marketplace, the other is just outside the base of the Twelve's tower. These devices are known to have other VAST and MYSTERIOUS powers, which will be revealed after further research. [You can now bind any object you desire by using the Stone of Change. Place your item within the device along with a stack of Khyber Dragonshard Fragments and activate the device. Items with higher minimum level requirements to equip require more Khyber Dragonshard Fragments to bind.]

UI Improvements:
The Bid and Buyout buttons in the auction house now have confirmation dialog boxes.

General Spell Changes:
After further testing, Charm Monster Mass has been temporarily removed from this release for further development.

Items:
Items that are bound no longer take permanent damage when repaired. The chance for unbound items to take permanent damage when repaired has been cut in half.

Monsters:
Starting in Module 6, the hard and elite monsters in new quests at very high level (CR 16 and up) will be getting tougher as their starting CR rises. Hard will become increasingly more difficult and elite will become a real challenge. Be prepared to start facing some particularly tough bosses on elite CR 16 and higher quests.

Quests:

  • The Black Abbot Raid

    • The three trials contained within the Black Abbot raid no longer need to all be completed in a single teleport pass.
    • The Black Abbot will now send you back to the three trials if you have not yet beaten them, rather than simply continuing the battle immortal.

Other Changes:

  • Players exiting the lighthouse on Ataraxia's Haven should no longer automatically fall from the lighthouse.
  • The Black Prophecy book item now has text!
  • Monsters in the Orc lair were having difficulty opening one of their doors to ambush players. They have oiled up the hinges so that the door now works properly.
  • The residents of Kundarak have grown tired of fishing out adventurers from the chasm, so they have enacted magic to prevent people from falling in.
  • In House Deneith, Senna Calyx now tells you the teleporter will take you to any of the house wards
  • A ladder in Vault of Night had been..."cut short" by a missplaced warrior's blade. It has now been replaced with a ladder of the proper length.
  • In Tangleroot Gorge, Chief Ungurz will now always advance the "Seeking Chief Ungurz" quest when you talk to him, even if you waited to get the quest from Eremic until you were halfway through the Splinterskull Story Arc.
