Update: Rift 1.9 Hotfix 8.5

GENERAL

 * Fishing bags and the like that stopped granting coin after Hotfix #8 should be giving coin again - no 'blank' reward bags!
 * Instant Adventures should once again award appropriate gold scaled to the level of your character.
 * Stonefield: Instant Adventures at Titan's Rest should now have more available Dreadbone Troll and Troglodyte targets.
 * Tweaked some backend stuff that should hopefully kind of maybe have a positive effect on lag reported while Conquest is active.

CONQUEST

 * Shards of Conquest are no longer tradeable.
 * Decreased hit points on Colossi in Conquest.
 * Slightly increased Favor and Prestige payouts for player kills in Conquest.
 * Slightly increased Favor and Prestige periodic payouts for control of Extractors.
 * Slightly increased Favor and Prestige granted for taking control of Extractors.
 * Slightly increased the amount of time before Conquest Power begins to decay.
