The Grab Bag returns this week to once again answer a myriad of miscellaneous questions from the Dark Age of Camelot community.

Q. My question is this ... Are HoTs from Vampiires, Valkyries, and Maulers affected by healing effectiveness from items and from Mastery of Healing?

A. No, they are not affected by Mastery of Healing and pluses to Healing like most heal spells. Although, Heal over time spells are unaffected by disease and heal for full value. It is a trade-off between the every day heal spells and heal over time spells. Thanks, Balancinator!

Q. Why is it that lately Cuuldurach will leave his den and kill people near Tailtiu? Is this a bug? Did Cuuldurach escape? Can/will you fix this issue?

A. When you’re hunting in dragon territory, beware! The Lumberjack explains: This isn't a bug. Each dragon has multiple patrol paths through their epic zone. After spending some time in the lair, they randomly choose which path to take and begin their flight through the zone. These patrol paths were established long ago when the epic zones were originally developed, though with the changes brought about during and because of "A Dragon's Revenge" they're more likely than before to go patrolling.
