Known Issues

[p]Bows:[/p]
- [p]If you keep aerial attacking near the ground you'll hover right on the ground[/p]
- [p]Bows aim slightly to the left and down from your cursor[/p]

[p]You may see two of the same skill in your Equipment menu[/p]
[p]Pumpkin Fest is over! However, the quests are stuck to remind you of your folly until Frostfall begins. [/p]
