*** AA ***
- Removed The Outer Brood expansion requirement from the Special AA, Aureate's Bane. The AA can still only be used in The Outer Brood zones but no longer blocks the achievement rewards from being accepted.

- New ranks of the Special AAs, Hero's Vitality, Hero's Fortitude, and Hero's Resolution, added for The Outer Brood are now persona shared.
- Ranks 51 and 52 of the Special AA, Hero's Resolution, now correctly increase health, mana, and endurance regeneration by 102 and 104 points.

*** Progression Servers ***
- The Shadows of Luclin era Shei Vinitras is back in the randomized loot tables.


*** Miscellaneous ***
- Added the planned, scheduled updates for 2025 to the calendar.
- The Activated Item Keyring's maximum number of slots has been increased to 500.
- Added ranger spell vendors to Neriak Commons and The Overthere with some additional spells.
- Made further reductions to pet combat lag due to spell casting and weapon procs.
- Fixed game crashes that can happen when loading animation or texture resources.
- The hide skill no longer fails randomly, and consequently a rogue's evade ability is also more reliable.
- Added the 'prochold' pet command which can be toggled to prevent your primary pet from triggering procs from their weapons, armor, or buffs.
- Fixed a crash while loading animation skeletons.
- The /alternateadv act command now supports AA names in addition to existing Ability Activation IDs, with a couple of caveats:
- - AAs that toggle cannot specify whether you want to disable or enable the AA. For example, /alternateadv act Bold Attacks: Enabled will still disable the AA if it is currently enabled.
- - Be cautious when using partial name matching, as you may not activate the AA you intend.
- Added a new slash command, /queuemelody. This command is similar to /melody except it plays songs in priority order depending on the song's recast time, your current buffs, and your target's current debuffs. The earlier a song is in the list, the higher priority it is.
- Evolving item experience can now be earned in raids. Raids with 7 or more players in the same zone will earn the total experience a group of 6 would have earned, divided equally amongst the raid. The amount earned for a full raid is intentionally very small. Raids with 6 or fewer players in the same zone earn the same evolving item experience they would have were they not in a raid.
- Real estate access is now promptly updated when a player's name is changed.
- Fixed an issue that caused the Superior Standard to not spawn in certain old instances.
- Brother Island, Thuliasaur Island, and Tempest Temple will no longer spawn pick zones.


*** UI ***
- Fixed a crash caused by the Trade Window.
- When removing an augment that will consume a Perfected Augmentation Distiller the popup window will now highlight the distiller's name.
- The login and server select windows are no longer offset when launching in maximized windowed mode without LaunchPad.
- Updated cursor item links from Key Rings to be able to be auto inventoried or dropped directly into an augment slot (if applicable).
- Hotbuttons now work as expected for items that are moved to or from a Keyring.
- Converted the Find Location window to the new UI engine.
- Made a speculative fix for game client crashes related to font memory corruption.
- Fixed an incorrect zone connection on the atlas for the new expansion.
- Corrected an issue with text overlapping in the Purchase window.

- Added -
- FindLocationWnd.html

- Changed -
- EQUI_FindLocationWnd.xml       
- EQUI_PurchaseWnd.xml
- index.html


*** Previously Updated ***
- Zorinna T`Vexa in the tunnels in The Commonlands will grant the Dark Elf Ranger feature if you received The Outer Brood as a gift and that gift did not grant you the Dark Elf Ranger option.
- Leviathan's Heart Mission changes:
- - Energists now only summon when damaged. They also have names to indicate which type of energy they use.
- - Added a decal for the Heart Stutter mechanic.
- - The Custodian will now start with only one eye beam and will increase the number as the event progresses.
- - Improperly Formed Lenses no longer stack.
- - There will be fewer energists and remnants. The hit points of the remnants have also been lowered.
- The Everyone in the Pool achievement in the Brood Architect Hazuri mission can now be completed.

Another year begins, and with it comes a new roadmap to share with you all. Before we go too far, however, let's take a few moments to recap what happened at the tail end of last year. November saw theChampion's Festivalmake its return to help celebrate EverQuest II's anniversary! We also celebrated the return of the Feast of Giving and its bonuses in November. December saw the launch of EverQuest's 31st Expansion, The Outer Brood, as well as the return of Frostfell, and the New Year's event to finish out our year.


We had another banner year with Extra Life thanks to the amazing job you all did with fundraising and donating to help children in need! You all went above and beyond this year and, as such, raised a whopping $139,457.78. This year's Darkpaw Games page is already up and ready for sign-ups.

Let's get back to the Plane of Knowledge to meet up with M.C. Tinkerton and Pizmip Noddletod to help stamp out the turmoil which seems to be building there. They'd certainly appreciate your help.

Fauma Reista has been spending the holiday reminiscing about her travels over the last year. Currently, she can be found visiting the Froglok Outpost in the Rathe Mountains. She is happy to share details of her travels with all who want to reminisce with her. While visiting some of her favorite places, keep your eyes out for colorful lights to light the way.

As you know, the event starts today and will end on January 21, 2025 at 11:00 p.m. PST.

Last chance reminder that all the Year of Darkpaw Marketplace items will be removed on December 31, 2024 at 11:59 p.m. PST! Don't miss out on these great items.

Another reminder is that Fippy Fest Digital Packs are still available until December 31, 2024 at 11:59 p.m. PST! Be sure to grab whatever packs you need before they are gone!

One last quick reminder that our Extra Life Incentives are also still available until December 31, 2024 at 11:59 p.m. PST! There is still time to donate to an amazing cause and get some nifty in-game rewards for doing so!

*** The Outer Brood ***
Welcome to EverQuest: The Outer Brood, the 31st expansion for EverQuest!
High in the sky over the hills of the long-ignored Hodstock Hills looms a massive behemoth. A creature so large that it appears to have an entire castle fortress on its back. Terrifying monsters fly down from that fortress. Huge reptiles with massive, deadly claws, fangs, and too many limbs. These beasts wield magic never seen on Norrath nor by any Norrathian. These creatures, dubbed the Outer Brood by the elders of the Circle of the Crystalwing, speak a form of Elder Dragon that even the oldest of dragons barely understand. Can you lead the charge against such danger, one that has caused even the fiercest elders of the dragon clans to hesitate?
