Update: Rift 1.9 Hotfix 2

SUMMERFEST

 * Removed the hedge mazes in Meridian and Sanctum.
 * Plant Trees in Scarwood Reach: Made this one much easier.
 * Defiant: Bug Stomp: Fixed so this quest no longer removes Summer Sunfish.

CONQUEST

 * Conquest: Increased the Conquest Power payouts for kills, capturing extractors, and overall contribution.

 * Also fixed a variety of other NPCs in Sanctum and Meridian that didn't want to talk to players.
 * Workorder: Mathosian Longbows should all be giving the correct Wondrous Flux item again.
 * Primeval Feast: Removed some objects that caused line of sight obstruction around the Fae Lord Twyl encounter.
 * Players can no longer end up with channel owner permissions in cross-shard level channels.
 * Entering or canceling Mentoring now has a 2 second casting time.
 * Rank 50 PvP cloth armor now actually has the different appearances for Guardian and Defiant mages.
