• Added a Reclaim All button that reclaims all currency items in your inventory.
• Adjusting the column widths of the currency list will now save per character.

• This new window can be accessed by clicking the EQ Button and selecting Character -> Faction Standings or by typing /faction.
• Hovering over a faction name or reaction entry will display your current reaction value with a group as well as the number of points needed to reach the next reaction rank.

• Consolidated many chat messages that were duplicates of melee and non melee hits, including: Flurry, Finishing/Crippling Blow, Assassinate, Deadly Strike, Slay Undead, Headshot, and critical spells. These messages no longer have a separate line of text, instead they end with an indication of the special attack type in parenthesis.
• Added an indicator for twincasted and critical damage over time spells.
• Corrected an issue where players could not make a hotkey for Remove Traps.
• Using the AA ability 'Buy All' button with purchase confirmations enabled will now display the number of ranks and total cost of the purchase. This applies to both player and mercenary AA purchases.
