			== Notable Changes and Updates ==

			(January 2025) A number of Quality-of-life updates and balance changes were added, including:

			*New Tank 'Swap!' ability added for Order's Ebon Keep and Destruction's All the King's Men. This is a granted ability that lasts for two minutes, and is given only to Tank classes.
			*Order's Ebon Keep Boss adds had their HP and damage toned down as they were notably stronger than the Destruction equivalent.
			*Order's Ebon Keep Boss ability: "Surging Flames" is now always visible for players, so they can clearly see when to taunt / interrupt it.
			*Destruction's All the King's Men boss adds had their HP slightly reduced, and the Game Object health slightly increased, to better mirror Order's PQ.
			*All White Bags now grant two +24 or equivalent Talismans, instead of just one.


			(@024)The Re-launch of the Dungeon adjusted how Contribution works for Stage 1, preventing any Contribution from being granted until Stage 2. This was to prevent solo players showing up and killing some mobs to leech bags from the actual warbands later.
