Additional Changes

Nightmare Accessories do not handle Magic Elemental Striking the way it should. It defaults to the base value. Work has been sent to have this corrected for the future but for the event the base MAT has been increased to compensate so mages will now have their extra MAT.
Terror Mantle Reverted to the cosmetic Nightmare Mantle
Rift Stones are now removed. A direct fee is taken when entering Rifts now
Removed NPC Shishi
Remaining Rift Stones can be sold for 100,000 base price
