Hail, Norrathians!

This upcoming Memorial Day in the United States is a time for us to remember that many of our players - from all across the globe - have loved ones and friends who have served their countries and given the ultimate sacrifice. We are a fantasy game thoroughly not set in this real world, but we are also a community of real friendships that extend well beyond Norrath.

We wanted to take a moment to remember, pay tribute, and offer an opportunity for all of us to come together this weekend.

This weekend, we will commemorate Memorial Day with in-game bonuses. Take advantage of these bonuses on all servers (including Mischief and Thornblade):

    +50% Experience
    +50% Faction
    +50% Rares

We will also unvault some items on the Marketplace and increase the Membership Marketplace discount to 20% (up from the standard 10%). We wish you all a safe and happy weekend.


The bonus weekend will begin at 12 AM PT on Friday, May 28, 2021, and will end at 11 PM PT on Tuesday, June 1, 2021.

Update Notes:
May 19, 2021
_____________________
*** Highlights ***
- For the first time, you can quickly identify the gains and losses of equipping an item to determine if an item is an upgrade and by how much. See the UI section below for more information.
- New Hunter Achievements have been added for expansions Gates of Discord through Underfoot. See the NPCs section for details.
- Look to the Marketplace this month for the Halfling Heritage Crate. Each crate contains a random item. Trade these Halfling Heritage items to your friends or collect them all yourself!

*** Items ***
- Descriptive text has been corrected for Outrider of Karana and Norrath Keeper's bundles.
- Augmentation Distillers now stack up to 100.
- Added missing descriptive text for the Evantil Guild Trophy.
- Corrected an issue with the Legend of the Jarsath Destroyer pack that prevented it from giving the Visage of the Girplan as a prize. Replaced one chance at a Jester with Prize: Visage of the Girplan. The chance to get other items is unchanged.
- Look to the Marketplace this month for the Halfling Heritage Crate. Each crate contains a random item. Trade these Halfling Heritage items to your friends or collect them all yourself!
- Check out everquest.com/packs this month for the new Roguish Rapscallion Pack and Successful Shenanigan Bundle!


*** Quests & Events ***
- There will no longer be broadcasts about the tipsy gnome race. You can speak to Teena to get an idea of when it starts up again.
- Fixed an issue that was causing some fabled NPCs to restore all of their health every tick. The following should no longer have this issue: The Fabled Manaetic Behemoth, The Fabled Saryrn, The Fabled Terris-Thule, and The Fabled Warlord Gintolaken. In the Plane of Time instance: The Fabled Tallon Zek, The Fabled Vallon Zek, and The Fabled Saryrn.
- Fixed an issue with the Zlandicar Raid that could cause the dracoliches to spawn too quickly.
- Fixed a reset issue with the Defenders of the Tomb raid that could cause the event to reset if all the drakes were killed. Also reduced the hit points and damage of the drakes by 20% or more.
- Reworked the Rhag Cycle in Ssraeshza Temple using more modern techniques. Each boss should spawn reliably upon the death of the last.
- Modified the fourth event in Deathknell. Ayonae Ro will now become "vulnerable" over time (and health) rather than all at once.


*** Spells ***
- Fixed the spelling of Root Ball Exlosion and Root Bundle Exlosion.
- Corrected an issue where beam spells would sometimes try to hit mounts and targets out of line of sight.
- Necromancer - The Necrotizing Wounds line of spells will no longer stack with itself if cast by the same caster. The spells will do more damage and cost more mana. The proliferation spells that are triggered by these spells are unchanged.
- Necromancer - The Splurt line of spells will no longer stack with itself or with the Necrotizing Wounds line of spells. Higher ranks will deal more damage and cost more mana.
- Necromancer - The Scourge of Fates line of spells will no longer stack with itself. Scourge of Destiny now deals more damage and costs more mana. The spell line no longer uses a shared timer.
- Necromancer - Reduced the damage and mana cost for several DoT lines, including Pyre of Mori, Flashblaze, Searing Shadow, Pallid Haze, Curse of Mortality, and Swift Deconstruction. While these lines were individually not overperforming, in combination they resulted in far more damage than was healthy to allow to continue. Further changes to these or other lines may occur in the future.


*** AA ***
- Corrected an issue where the 'Buy All' button for Mercenary AA Abilities was not properly checking remaining points and prerequisite ranks.


*** NPCs ***
- A full set of Hunter achievements, including new titles and era-appropriate container rewards, have been added to the following achievement categories:

- - Omens of War
- - Dragons of Norrath

- - Expert Fear Hunter's Satchel, from 28 to 34
- - Expert Shadow Hunter's Satchel, from 30 to 36
- - Satchel of the Fearslayer, from 32 to 40
- All expansion achievement sub-categories have been re-ordered to be more consistent.
- The Hunter achievement "Hunter of Gnome Memorial Mountain" has been moved from the Secrets of Faydwer category to The Burning Lands category as an optional component of the "Burnslayer" achievement.


*** Miscellaneous ***
- Fixed the exit from Velketor's Labyrinth in Torment of Velious to deposit folks in the Great Divide rather than Eastern Wastes.
- Fixed a longstanding zone instability problem related to fellowship campfires.
- Merged groups will no longer include offline members in the creation of a new group. They will need to be invited to the group again if they log back in.


*** UI ***
- Added in the Item Compare feature.
- - You can now easily identify the gains and losses of equipping an item or which slot to equip it in to gain the most benefit.
- - To use this, inspect any equippable or augment item and select the currently equipped item in the new dropdown box you want to compare to.
- - This will allow you to see all the relevant equipment traits, stats, and effects that would be added or removed and any value differences.
- - Your race, class, and deity must match on the item in order to compare.
- Added two additional color options 'Item Stat Positive' and 'Item Stat Negative' which allow you to customize the colors used to display stat values in the Item Display Window.
- Corrected an issue that allowed shared bank bags to be opened while shrouded.
- Corrected an issue where weapon ratio would not accumulate damage correctly if the base item and an augment both had elemental or bane damage. Moved elemental damage to a secondary ratio that displays in parenthesis since it varies by NPC resistances.
- Added a potential fix for the raid window sometimes causing the client to lock up when moving players into groups.
- Messages about pending overflow items when logging in will now be displayed with the System Messages filter instead of showing up with Spell Failures.
- Fixed a typo in the Server Transfer Window.
- Corrected an issue that prevented Loot All in the Advanced Loot window from looting all.


- Changed -
EQUI_ItemDisplay.xml
EQUI_Templates.xml


*** Previously Updated ***
- Extended the first phase of the anniversary events by two weeks.
- Fixed an issue in the mission A Different Perspective that prevented the 6th step "Unlock the way to the seventh floor" element from completing successfully.
- Fixed an issue that was preventing all NPCs in the Plane of Time and some NPCs in other Planes of Power zones from becoming Fabled.

- The EverQuest Team

Hail, Norrathians! Fizzlethorpe Bristlebane has gotten all tangled up in our servers and after all the time it took to get him out he left a gift for everyone. Mischief is our new Time-Locked Progression server and we're launching on May 26! So sharpen your blades and prepare your minds, it's time to enter Norrath anew!

Mischief will be a new way to experience EverQuest as it grew over time, starting during the earlier eras of the game and adding our own twist (inspired by that deviously, fun-loving God of Tricks). The Mischief Random Loot Progression Server will begin with access to the original zones that were available at launch and will gradually add expansions first Classic will run a month, and then subsequent expansions will be opened in a specified cadence later (check out more info on the cadence below!)

Need to know what to expect on Mischief?

Mischief Ruleset -
Mangler XP Progression
Agents of Change Enabled
Pick Zones Enabled
Free Trade Enabled
Random Loot Enabled

    The Mischief server is a new experimental server that randomizes loot.
    Rare NPCs will drop loot from other NPCs of a similar level within the same expansion.
    Raids will drop loot from other raid NPCs of a similar level within the same expansion.
    We may add other special case randomization.
    Rare NPCs have a greater chance of spawning

Unlock Cadence:

    Expansions:
        1 month Classic
        2 month Kunark
    2/3 month regular release cadence
        2 months for no level increase
        3 months for level increase
    Exception: LDoN will only be one month

By playing on Mischief you agree to:

Absolutely No Automated/Unattended Game-play, any incident of automated gameplay is immediate suspension, second offence is ban including Mischief associated accounts.

To play on the Mischief server when it launches, all you'll need is an All Access Membership. You can discover all of the perks of being an All Access Member and sign up here!

We're also excited to announce in the May update before we launch Mischief we'll be adding a new feature to EverQuest, Item Comparison!

Hello,

During this timeframe all servers will be shut down until the work is concluded. This maintenance is affecting all Daybreak titles. We'd like to thank you in advance for your patience.

The downtime includes time to do our regularly monthly update as soon as the gamewide Daybreak Maintenance is complete.

EverQuest Servers will come down around 11 PM PDT this evening (April 19) in order to prepare for the maintenance.

Stomples Day is the time of year when Norrathians celebrate the elusive Stomples and it's already in full swing! But even after so many years, Grundle Cogwelder is skeptical of the bunny-born eggs scattered across Norrath.

In addition to our regular Stomples Day celebrations, we will be celebrating with a 50% bonus for faction, XP, and rares from 12:00 AM PDT on April 2 through 11:00 PM PDT on April 5!

Pay a visit to Grundle Cogwelder in the Plane of Knowledge to offer your assistance and help ease his mind, and you might just be rewarded.

Stomples Day will continue through 11:00 PM PT on Saturday, April 10, 2021, so be sure to answer Cogwelder's call before the Stomples disappear for another year!

You can find out more about Stomples Day by viewing your achievements pane in the events window.

Keep on (bunny-born egg) hunting and have a great weekend!

Well Met Norrath!


It's been a bit of time since we last spoke, and I thought there wouldn't be a better time than before our 22nd Anniversary.

It's been almost a year since I was introduced to you as the Head of Studio for Darkpaw, and it's certainly been an interesting one. I wanted to take a moment to reflect on the past year as well as the last 22 years that y'all have been part of our lives.

I'd like to first take a moment to recognize Alan VanCouvering, who you all know better as Absor, he has spent 20 years as part of the EverQuest family and we couldn't make Norrath what it is without him.

I'm excited to share that we've hired several more designers and engineers to once again fill the ranks of the Faceless Ones. While you may have already seen the work of a few the others are deep in training learning the ins and outs of our code and the wends and ways of our stories. I can't wait for you to see the fruits of their labor. Stay tuned, there are more things on the horizon. If you are interested in joining the Faceless Ones, please be sure to check out our eldritch links, we're looking for heroic and creative souls to join our ranks.

Last year we switched up the previous release cadence of our TLPs for the launches of Aradune and Rizlona. We have decided to shift our launch window again this year, and we will be merging an additional server. Keep an eye out on the news and announcements forum for more information in the coming months.

And last but not least, we're celebrating 22 years of Norrath. In addition to previously released anniversary bonus, quests and missions, we're also introducing two new quests, a brand new mission, new rewards, and new merchant vendor items. Finally, if you are an All Access member and log in between March 16 at 12 AM PDT and April 20 at 10 PM PDT, you will receive an XP potion, the Othmir Fez, and one Hero's Forge unlocker!

It is both a thrill and an amazing blessing to think about the fact that we've had 22 years of sharing stories and adventures together and there are many more to come.

Eyes On The Horizon,
Jenn Chan

Head of Studio, Darkpaw Games
