Classic's 1.198 patch went out on 14 July. Kyno (Scrapforge Prodigy) joined the Draconis, with a trial and Bountiful Trials from 15 July, 00:00 UTC. The bigger change is Mythic T5 gear: max-level Mythic T4 pieces upgrade with Rune Cores, and T1 to T4 upgrades now cost Rune Stones, which your old upgrade stones can be swapped into. Illusory Journey came back on 15 July and Spire Contest on 24 July.
