Update: Rift 1.6 Hotfix 3

GENERAL

 * Fixed the spamming of multiple Fae Yule mails.
 * Candy Cane weapons now remain visible when sheathed.
 * Warrior-type NPCs using Sweeping Strike, Cyclone Strike, and Promise of Steel will no longer hit with these abilities in a full circle - players standing behind them will be safe.
 * Greenscale's Blight: Treants are 100% more treant-y and may be foraged.
 * Client stability improvements!

EMBER ISLE

 * The Magma Hounds at Obsidian Shore are now skinnable.
 * Karris will now fight much more fiercely for his life when confronted during the quests 'Protect the People' and 'The Wanton Unbound'.
 * Omen and Quantum Sight artifacts now respawn more reliably.
 * Look Again: Added additional instructions for the use of the Shimmering Orb Shard.
 * Pyrkari at Large: All steps of this quest now grant credit to all members in a group when completed.
 * Stopping the Swarm: There are now proper quest location icons for both steps of this quest.
