General Notes:
Housing Shared Storage capacity has been updated for certain non-kinship premium houses that were purchased during a short time window during the launch of Rivendell housing. The housing shared storage capacity should now correctly update to match the highest value of another house owned by the account on the world.
NOTES:
This change will not resolve outstanding issues with kinship housing storage capacity, only personal homes.
This change will not resolve an account's Shared Storage housing capacity if it does not own another home with the correct higher capacity.
Players with outstanding housing storage issues should work with Customer Support to resolve.
The retry timer on all festival horse races has been reduced from five minutes to one minute.
The cost to repeat the festival horse races sooner than the daily cooldown has been reduced from 5 Mithril Coins to 3 Mithril Coins.
Monster Play:
The cosmetic weapons Gundabad Captain's Bow, and Wight's Great Axe have been adjusted to hide when the user is not in combat.
The visual appearance to the Wight's Great Axe has been upgraded.
In the private instance "The Silent Street" Telemnar now spawns correctly, no longer blocking progress.
Lions will now have a more natural looking out-of-combat idle animations. This includes the Maned Lion and Proud Lioness cosmetic pets, but not the Shadow Lion cosmetic pet.
Fixed incorrect physics and origin placement of Rivendell housing decorations. Note that a few of the decorations have moved relative to their current placement in housing hooks, but they will now be more accurately positioned for future placements. You will need to unhook and re-hook any of these decorations already placed in order for these changes to fully take effect.
The following Rivendell housing decorations have been slightly to moderately scaled up in size to better suit elf housing interiors. You will need to unhook and re-hook any of these decorations already placed in order for the size changes to fully take effect.

The Timeless Elf-hawk cosmetic pet will correctly play hawk sounds.
Fixed a bug that would result in the player ending up in the default housing neighborhood when leaving a instance via the right-click menu.
We have addressed the issue in the Mission: Drive the Enemy Away where the enemies continue to respawn making it very difficult to get the scout to appear.
