Update Notes:

_____________________
*** Highlights ***
- Changed some of the modern Spell Casting Proc items so they won't trigger from other proc effects or twincast. This is a step, but not the entire solution, to reduce raid lag. Recursive proc casting is causing a huge amount of spells to be cast in a short time.
- Many changes have been made to Epic 1.0 quests. See the Quests & Events sections for details.
- All wares sold by Morton Stonebreaker in Western Wastes have had a pricing decrease.


*** Items ***
- Marionette puppet familiars can now be placed in a real estate without looking like a brown bag.
- Augments purchased from Tanin Gleamstone in Western Wastes can now be sold back to him for 70% of the purchase price.
- Increased AC values for caster 2-handed blunt weapons from Claws of Veeshan.
- Claws of Veeshan augments now have the correct Lore and Lore Equip groups attached.
- Merchants that sell the 'Tracker's Water Extractor' will now carry an unlimited stock of this item.
- Changed some of the modern Spell Casting Proc items so they won't trigger from other proc effects or twincast. This is a step, but not the entire solution, to reduce raid lag. Recursive proc casting is causing a huge amount of spells to be cast in a short time.


*** Quests & Events ***
- Aaryonar Raid - Made a speculative fix to a reported issue that would cause Grolik to lock his hit points.
- Paladin and Rogue Epic: Reduced the respawn time for the Oracle of K'Arnon from about 7 hours to 2 hours.
- Paladin Epic: Lich of Miragul will now spawn 35 hours after being killed. There will now be a delay for between 5 and 14 hours before it will spawn for the first time.
- Druid and Ranger Epic: Venril Sathir's remains will spawn every 20 hours instead of just over 26 hours. This will increase the window to access this NPC for quest hand-ins.
- Magician Epic: Undertow (and its placeholder) will spawn every 6 hours instead of just over 7 hours.
- Monk Epic changes:
- - Increased the chance for Targin the Rock from 5% to 15% and Raster of Guk from 2% to 10%.
- - Brother Zephyl, Brother Qwinn, Ran'un, Brother Velan Torresk, and Thena Lonnes have grown in strength. They are much more dangerous. Also, persons killing these folks will be greatly disliked by monk factions.
- Rogue Epic changes:
- - Eldreth will now return after leaving for 1 hour rather than 8. He can no longer be killed by miscreants.
- - Founy Jestands and Tani N'Mar will no longer have any parchment on their corpses if killed. They will, however, always have them in their pockets if someone happens to be clever enough to take them.
- - Renux Herkanor will no longer carry a Jagged Diamond Dagger.
- - General V'ghera will no longer carry a Cazic Quill.
- - Karg IceBear will be a bit easier to find and will be carrying the Gigantic Zweihander more often.
- Enchanter Epic changes:
- - Vessel Drozlin and Wraith of a Shissar will now respawn 9 hours after being killed and from 5 to 14 hours after a zone or server reset.
- - Verina Tomb will now respawn 13 hours after being killed and from 5 to 14 hours after a zone or server reset.
- - The One Key, Lost Scroll, and Charm and Sacrifice have had their respawn time reduced from 24 to 5 hours.
- Shadowknight Epic changes:
- - Caradon will now spawn 8 hours after being killed and from 5 to 14 hours after a zone or server reset.
- - Lhranc will now spawn 13 hours after being killed and from 5 to 15 hours after a zone or server reset.
- - NPCs involved in the quest for Innoruuk's Curse can now see things that are invisible. They will only deal with people they like.
- Wizard Epic: Broken golem will now spawn 8 hours after being killed and from 4 to 12 hours after a zone or server reset.


*** Spells ***
- Beastlord - Auspice of Kildrukaun Rk. II and Rk. III can now be selected as rewards from the Lesser Bloodmarked Velium Gem and Lesser Dragontouched Rune, respectively.


*** NPCs ***
- All wares sold by Morton Stonebreaker in Western Wastes have had a pricing decrease.


*** Overseer ***
- Changed how Overseer quests load and save as a speculative fix to the bug where Overseer quests sometimes disappear. As part of this change, all Overseer Active Quests have been deleted. For the inconvenience, all players who have used Overseer before should have an Overseer Agent Pack available in /itemoverflow.


*** Miscellaneous ***
- Made the following changes to guild halls to prevent them from being removed when a player deletes their character or server transfers:
- - Placed guild halls no longer have an item owner, instead, they are owned by the guild.
- - Only the guild leader will be able to put a placed guild hall in their inventory.
- - Anyone with Move-Item access will be able to adjust a guild hall's placement.
- Activated combat skills (ex: kick, bash) with reuse times affected by haste or slow effects can now only be slowed to a maximum of 2x their base reuse time.
- - This ensures that skills activated while you are heavily slowed will no longer be locked out for exceptionally long periods of time.
- Marketplace - Corrected an issue where additional Mount Key Ring Slots were not visible for purchase.
- Fixed a bug that caused group invites to someone that has a shortened version of your name to not function.

    Hi All, as you may or may not have already heard, Daybreak Games has entered into an acquisition agreement with a publicly listed gaming company based in Stockholm, Sweden, Enad Global 7 (EG7).

    While we are thrilled about this news, we are sure many of you have questions about what this means for the launch date of our titles or operations as a whole. Rest assured nothing will change there. Claws of Veeshan launches on December 8 and Reign of Shadows a week later on December 15. We are excited to bring you these new entries in Norrath’s stories.

    As a studio, you may have already noticed we have been doing some hiring recently in support of reinvestment projects. While we aren’t quite ready to discuss the details of those yet, they are in support of the live operations of EverQuest and EverQuest II.

    Specifically, being acquired by EG7 advances our ability to continue our development in EverQuest and EverQuest 2, and further spur on our ongoing dedication to EverQuest as a brand.

    I am particularly excited because of what Darkpaw brings to EG7, with over 21 years of knowledge and innovation in the live service games space we offer a unique perspective for the many other companies in the EG7 family. I look forward to sharing that expertise on a much larger scale that is afforded to us by this acquisition.

    From me, and all of the team at Darkpaw Games, we hope your holiday season is filled with joy and wish you a happy new year.

    Jenn Chan

Hail Norrath,

It's been quite a year! We've had to adjust to working from home and learning how to put together an expansion while working remotely. I am incredibly proud of the team and what they have achieved, but the days are growing shorter, the nights are growing longer, and we are rapidly approaching that magical time of year. With that in mind, I am thrilled to announce our 27th expansion officially and show off the logo and key art!



That's right, our 27th Expansion for EverQuest is named Claws of Veeshan and continues the tales that began in Torment of Velious. Velious is overwhelmed with writhing ice. Frozen undead swarm everywhere. The few survivors that remain throw aside old hatreds -- for now at least -- and band together to survive.
It is time for the bravest heroes of Norrath to challenge the dragons of Velious and put an end to the deadly magic that has tormented the citizens of the continent.
Rise to the challenge! Face the ancient dragons of Velious and bring them to account for their actions!





Notable Features

    6 Expansion Zones - Follow the chilling trail of ice into the lands dominated by the dragons of Velious. Find the source of the mysterious and restless ice and put an end to the dangers that have enveloped the entire continent.
    New Raids, Quests, and Missions
    New Spells, Combat Abilities, and AAs
    New Collections
    Dragon's Hoard - A dragon's hoard for those that have collected so many items, it is nigh impossible to contain. This is an additional space to hold all those items you may need once more but do not need now.

There is so much more to reveal over the coming weeks as we launch beta and preorders for Claws of Veeshan on October 21 between 10 AM and 12 PM (Noon) PDT. Don't forget, If you pre-order, you will get access to Beta. I hope to see you all there!

Tech Debt and Other Projects

We were able to complete projects on multiple database migrations, upgrades, and optimizations that had become tech debt this year. In addition to the performance improvements we've been making since June, we've closed out around 150 separate bugs. In addition to that, we've been replacing our hardware with new and more powerful servers, and we've also reached a 95% reduction in world crashes since the peak of this year. While some of these projects have happened in the background, you were affected by some long downtimes on some of them while they were being solved. Thank you so much for your patience then and your continued forbearance as we improve EverQuest and continue to build stories in Norrath for years to come.


Team Darkpaw

We announced our inaugural Darkpaw Games Extra Life team TEAM DARKPAW, led by our community manager, Dreamweaver. The team has already raised over 5400 dollars and has almost 100 members! Game Day is November 7th, and it's never too late to join and raise money for the Children's Miracle Network.


Developer Video Series

Daybreak as a company has been partnering with the San Diego County Office of Education to teach kids about careers in tech, and part of that project is our Developer Video Series. I had the pleasure of being the first one up! You can check out the video on the SDCOE Youtube channel here and stay tuned for more from our studio and other studios in the Daybreak Family.

I know that's a lot to go over but don't forget,

Beta and Preorder for Claws of Veeshan, October 21, 2020. I'll see you there.

Never Give Up,

Jenn Chan, Head of Studio, Darkpaw Games
