To test on experimental, make sure you run the “Legends of Aria Launcher Experimental” from the Start Menu. Check the version on the bottom right of the launcher window before hitting the “Launch” button.
***Colossals
Old magic has begun to awaken in the world of New Celador and with it colossals have begun to roam the world once more.

Guild Wars

Gardening
The ability to grow ingredients for cooking has been added:
