Highlights

 * New Event: Challenge of the Gods
 * During the Challenge of the Gods Event, challenges will appear as you slay Neverwinter's enemies. Should you accept them, you will be granted a short quest to complete. These quests are time limited, and include some type of restriction on how you can complete them. Upon completion of the quest, you will be rewarded with a Gift of the Gods.
 * Event begins: February 6, 2014 at 10 A.M. PST
 * Event ends: February 10, 2014 at 10 A.M. PST
 * Gateway Daily Awards
 * The first time you visit Sword Coast Adventures each calendar day, you will roll a D20 and get a reward based on that roll. After you finish your first adventure each day, you get a bonus reward. After you finish your second adventure each day, you get a bonus reward and are told to come back the next day for more.

Classes and Balance

 * Guardian Fighters: Animations and FX will now completely play for this class similar to all other classes instead of cutting slightly short.

Content and Environment

 * Ambient Sprites in Sharandar will now have proper costumes instead of the hooded skeleton men they were for a short time.
 * Neverdeath: Filial Villainy: It is possible to interact with the Necromancer's Journal near the Clock Tower once again.
 * The Dread Ring Arcane Coffer at the end of a Lair can now only be interacted by one play at a time but will now give rewards based on the gauntlet used to open it and not the lowest quality gauntlet used to open it.

Gateway

 * Collections: You can now check your collection progress on your character sheet. Select the Collections tab on the character page. This works largely as it does in the full client. Tooltips, etc.
 * Companion Index: In Sword Coast Adventures, there are now two buttons next to the Help (?) button. The Hand gives you a list of all the companions you've collected. Clicking on a companion will show why dice that kind of companion can get.

 * Dice Guide: Between the Companion Index and Help tabs is the dice guide. This is the same guide that used to be in the Help menu.
