    Slightly different information in each of these. The update hits on February 3rd, and looks promising. I'm especially interested in the "Lesser" and "Greater" reincarnation. I don't quite get all of the details so far, but it sounds like the lesser allows you to reset skills/enhancements/abilities while keeping the levels you've made, while greater resets you to Level 1 and allows you to make different class choices to some extent.

    There are also some festivals/celebrations and visual enhancements coming up.

    More clear information regarding the reincarnation bit.

    DDO Update 3 Release notes Preview wrote:Kruz is now offering more forms of Reincarnation! These forms of reincarnation offer different features and do not start your character over again at level 1. Instead, you retain your current character level!
    Lesser Reincarnation

    By giving Kruz a Lesser Druidic Heart of Wood, you may respec the character and retain your level. You will retain the same class configuration, but may reassign ability points, skill points, feat selection, and enhancements. Lesser Druidic Hearts of Wood are available in the DDO Store. You may Lesser Reincarnate repeatedly, though you must wait for the one week cooldown timer before you can reincarnate again.
    Greater Reincarnation

    By giving Kruz a Greater Druidic Heart of Wood, you may respec a 28 point build character and retain your level, but you will additionally be upgraded to a 32 point build. You will retain the same class configuration, but you will have more ability points to assign and may redistribute skill points, feat selection, and enhancements. Greater Druidic Hearts of Wood are available in the DDO Store.
    +1 and +3 Reincarnations

    By giving Kruz a +1 or +3 Lesser or Greater Druidic Heart of Wood, you may respec a character and retain your level. Additionally, you will be able to change your class. The number of levels of the class you may change is dependent on the value of the Heart of Wood. For example, a +1 will allow you to change only one level of your character to a different class, while a +3 will allow you to change 3 levels of your character to a different class. If the Heart of Wood is a Greater Heart, it will additionally upgrade a 28 point character to a 32 point character. You may Lesser Reincarnate repeatedly, though you must wait for the one week cooldown timer before you can reincarnate again.

    Looks like Monk characters will be happy after this update as it fixes a lot of problems with that class and makes some major changes to enhancements and paths.
