Time for Joanne's weekly Grab Bag , check out this weeks Q&A's below:

Q. I was just wondering why Anderrson in Svasud Faste is not giving out experience anymore for the Malefic Tooth turn in? Instead he is giving out 75 silver or an RoG gem drop... what's the deal? I thought kill task items like the above mentioned one were to specifically give experience? If this was changed, how did I miss it?

A. The Lady of the Jewels went to Anderrson himself and found this out: Most bounty items do give experience when turned in, however the Malefic Tooth bounty is unique in that it has a random chance to give experience, money, or a gem.

Q. I am wondering about the spell Taunting Shout that is given to all heavy tanks at Level 5. I never had a problem with the resist rates on this spell while I was leveling to 50, but now that I am doing high-level PvE (i.e. orange-purple to 50) and also epic mobs with my Armsman, this spell seems to have an outright resist rate that approaches 95%. I did some testing on this with my guild and other heavy tanks that I’ve contacted have told me that they face similar problems.

Our theory is that because the ability delves as a Level 5 magical ability, it has a naturally high resist rate against mobs that range from 51-65 and beyond. Is the intent of this spell to be ineffective beyond level 50?

A. After quite a bit of testing The Equalizer says: Taunting Shout, though received at level 5, actually is set as a level 50 spell, and should not be suffering from such an extreme resist rate. We will continue to look into the resist rates of this spell, as it has been brought to our attention before. Thank you for the information.

A little hot fix :

- Fixed an issue that was causing players to be unable to trade the Heart Shards from the new Doppleganger bosses in certain situations.
