Hola!

Grab your coffee and sit back in your chair for a bit of a read.  Here are the rather extensive patch notes from today's update:

*** Highlights ***

- Made many fixes to The Broken Mirror (TBM) items and Phinigel raid instances. See the Items and Progression Servers sections below.
- Corrected a bug that prevented the items that advance progressive spell ranks from being awarded when you complete TBM progression achievements. If you have already completed these achievements, you will be awarded these items the next time you log on. Using any item will grant you the maximum rank you have earned.
- Corpses in Shadowrest are being removed and items will be parceled to players with some restrictions. See the Miscellaneous section below for details.
