What’s in this update

### Update 49.3 Release Notes
Here are the Release Notes for Update 49.3: In Good Company, Patch 3 released on Wednesday, August 12, 2026.

A change in Update 49 erroneously increased the stats on most mission monsters. This has been corrected, and mission monster stats should return to their pre-U49 values.

Captain's Armour of Noble Hands now requires you to be specialized in The Hands of Healing to receive the 4-set bonus.
PvMP Settings of the Eagle now deal bonus damage only on devastating hits, rather than any critical hit.
Wintersebb Drakelings found in the Isendeep Mine have learned to hunt correctly, and have now grown to their intended size.
Several major, neutral bosses in the Ettenmoors are now immune to force taunts.
The wood-troll Gath and the two salamanders Hurlug and Nurlug now respawn more frequently.
Sorceress:
Elemental Mastery I traits no longer suggest that they will allow Synergy skills to tier up synergy effects.
Ignite synergy now interacts correctly with Synergy skills and the tier up bonus from the Fire Mastery I trait.
Adjusted a Dwarf Miner during “The Fall of Moria” so he will animate properly again.
Adjusted invisible walls during “The Moot” so Treebeard won't rubberband at certain locations.
