# 04/28/2020—April 28th Release Notes

 

## World Polish

 

- Fixed a rare bug that could prevent players from being awarded Prophet Shards when completing the Forging Steel mission for the first time in a day.

- Build Template loading has been disabled in Super Adventure Box to prevent players from regaining class features by switching templates.

 

## General

 

- The "Salvage All Masterwork and Lower" right-click option in salvage kits will no longer be highlighted as an available option for players who don't have any masterwork gear, as all gear below masterwork is fully covered by the "Salvage All Fine and Lower" option.

- The "Sell Junk" option in vendor windows will now be grayed out for players who do not have any junk items to sell.

 

## Profession Skills

 

### Engineer

 

- Jump Shot: This skill no longer ignores the immobile condition.

- No Scope: Fixed a bug in which this trait would grant might when triggered.

 

### Thief

 

- Vault: This skill no longer ignores the immobile condition.
