Description: A colorful floating board adorned with commissioned works from the most well-known artists in Faerûn! Adding this artwork to your collection will sure have you be the talk of the town. Won't you catch the wave?
Sahha: Instead of going out of bounds and forcing a reset, the ball now bounces back into the play area in most cases.
It can still reset if it goes over the goal, and it can be tough to get the ball out of a corner, but the play experience now has significantly fewer interruptions.

Vault of Stars: The portal now properly appears after opening the end chest.
Combat and Powers
Artifacts
The tooltip for the Charm of the Serpent artifact now properly states that it increases enemy damage taken by 2/4/6/8/10% based on quality, instead of the tooltip's incorrect values of 4/8/12/16/16%. The actual effect has not changed for Rare (blue) quality and above.
Charm of the Serpent now increases enemy damage taken by 2% at Uncommon (green) quality, reduced from 4%.
Enemies and Encounters
Rise of Tiamat
The Cult of the Dragon enemies in Phase 1 will no longer despawn when the Summoners are defeated.
Tiamat is now properly flagged as a dragon in Phase 5, and will properly be affected by certain dragon-specific buffs and debuffs.
Safeguards have been added to prevent the minibosses from getting out of the combat area.
(Master difficulty only) Tiamat's Aura will now activate during Phase 4 if the phase is not completed quickly enough.
Items and Economy
Items
The Apprentice's Ruined Gauntlets can now be refined.
User Interface
Defeat
All types of Scrolls of Life should now properly be usable from the Defeat screen.
Hunt Modifiers
When opened, the Hunt Modifier screen now closes existing contact dialogs and vendor screens. This addresses an issue where these screens could overlap in a way that prevented interaction.
