Sandstorm Changes
New Features
Combat Text Color Settings + Pet Damage

A new color settings feature has been added for combat-text numbers. Players can override the font color for different combat types, including auto attacks, abilities, pet damage, healing, heal-over-time effects, damage taken, and offensive or defensive proc effects.

Note: Pet damage numbers can be enabled by selecting a color for Pet Damage.

Color settings are currently account-wide and require a client-side patch. Players using the ISO patching method or a recent PNACH file should receive the required patch automatically when launching the game.

Buyback Feature
   Accidentally sold an item to a vendor? Speak to any vendor, select the Buy option, and rebuy the item.
Note: Buyback resets when you log out. If you sell an item and then log out, that item can no longer be bought back.
Ignore Feature Update
   The ignore feature is now account-wide. Adding a character to your ignore list will ignore all characters associated with that account.

Achievements are a new EQOA feature that sends players on completion tasks throughout the world. Completing achievements can reward cosmetic pets, cosmetic gear with unique colors exclusive to the achievement system, and the Spectral Robe, one of the only graphic robes available to Tank and Melee classes.
Note: The final reward for completing all Achievements is the Spectral Robe.
Note: The Achievement System is still under development, with more achievements coming soon.
