Today we added a new feature to our Discord channel.  Our bot now allows users to self assign themselves one or more Roles that correspond with the servers they play on, or wish to receive alerts for.  So for example, if you'd like to be informed when the Bristlebane server goes offline, or comes back online, you would self assign yourself the "Bristlebane" role, and when the bot detects Bristlebane has went down or came up, it will send an @Bristlebane message to the #server-status-changes channel, which will trigger a Discord alert for you.

This is handy on patch days when you want to be alerted when your server comes online so you can start playing!  It's also nice to know if your server crashes while you are away.

To use this feature, first you will need to be a user in our Discord server.  If you don't have Discord, you can download it at https://discord.com
Setup is pretty easy and self explanatory.  Once you have an account, Discord installed, and are online, you can click the following link which will invite you to the EQResource Discord Server:  https://discord.gg/AwbHXak

Now that you are a member of the EQResource Discord Server, you can navigate to the #server-role-requests channel.  Here you will see a couple numbered lists with corresponding server names.  Find the number corresponding to the server you wish to receive alerts for, then click the small version of the number at the bottom of the list (these are called reactions).  If everything was successful (and our bot hasn't crashed) the bot will spam a message acknowledging your newly assigned role.  If you wish to remove a role, simply click the corresponding reaction again, and the bot will remove your role.

If you have any issues feel free to discuss them in the #general-chat channel!

- - Rather than ranks 1-3 reducing armor class and ranks 4+ consuming health, all ranks now uniformly consume 1% of your maximum health every 6 seconds.
- - Rather than ranks 5+ applying an initial buff that is overwritten in stages (Azia, Beza, Caza, Dena, Ena) the initial buff placed on you will last the full duration of the intervening stages (30 seconds to 2 minutes, depending on rank) before triggering the 30 second self-refreshing stage of the buff.
- - The benefits granted by the initial stage of the buff and the self-refreshing component are now approximately equal to the power of what was previously the highest stage of the buff.

- - Adjusted the stacking on the ability to better coexist with other disciplines that increase melee damage.
- Berserker - Revamped Juggernaut's Resolve.

As most of you know, House of Thule was the very first expansion EQResource offered guides for.  When we began we knew very little about web development - we just wanted to have a way to help the EverQuest players enjoy this great game as much as we did!  We never thought the community would show so much love and support to our little project (and we are forever grateful for that).  As you can imagine, the HoT expansion holds a special place in our hearts.

That's why the announcement of the Miragul server was a huge excitement to us!  Over the years we've added many new features and new formats to EQR that were never back-ported to our HoT section.  As such, our HoT section was...a mess.  We've been working hard over the past few weeks to bring our House of Thule section up to date with our newest features!  In addition to re-formated pages that are easier to understand and more informative, you'll find brand new pages that did not exist in the HoT section before, such as the Group Vendor page, Raid Gear, Raid Armor, Raid Loot Tables, Creating Armor, and more!

We hope to see many of you tomorrow, both on the Miragul server and here on EQResource!

Beta has been open by invite only for a few days now, and we've been busy exploring and begining the early stages of piecing together our Torment of Velious guides!  We've had people asking us what the ToV Beta is like, so we decided to put together a little preview of what we've discovered thus far!  Please note: It is currently very early Beta, so anything we show in this guide is subject to change at any time!

The Zones:

In ToV Beta there is currently 7 new zones.  They are all re-imagined versions of previous Velious zones, with updated graphics and some really cool new ice!  There are new NPC models as well.

The zones that are currently accessible on Beta are:
The Eastern Wastes
The Tower of Frozen Shadow
Ry'Gorr Mines
Crystal Caverns
The Great Divide
Velketor's Labyrinth
Kael Drakkel

Here are some screen shots we gathered while lightly exploring.  You can click on any of them to see a full sized version!




The Armor and Gear

ToV gear itemization is very similar to TBL, in that there are 3 tiers of Group gear and 2 tiers of Raid gear.  Like TBL, the final tier of each Group and Raid is "tradeskill" gear, requiring a dropped piece and a tradeskill piece to combine for the final item.  The difference this time, however, is that each player is limited to only 3 items from the Raid tradeskill tier.  Each player is allowed their choice of 1 Armor (visible) piece, 1 non visible, and 1 Weapon or Shield piece.  Note that this restriction is being fiercely debated and may change before ToV releases.

If you have an EQResource Premium Membership you can view all of the ToV gear at the following pages:
ToV Group Armor
ToV Group Gear
ToV Raid Armor
ToV Raid Gear
Type 7/8 Augs
Type 5 Augs

Here's a preview of a few of the weapon graphics.  These images are from the Raid and Group Tradeskill tier.  Click on any image to see a bigger version:




The New Features

The first new feature of ToV is the Hero's Forge Keyring.  Like the various keyrings before it, it allows you to place a specific type of item (in this case Hero's Forge ornaments) in they keyring, to save on bag space.  Unlike the other keyrings, you have to remove your HF items in order to use them (tho it is very early Beta, there may be plans to change this).




The second feature is titled "Overseer".  This feature will likely not make it into the expansion release, as it's taking DBG a while to get it finished.  We don't know much about this feature yet, but we know how to access it in game (tho it's currently not accessible - clicking the button does nothing), and we can view the source code for the UI piece that goes along with it.



PLEASE NOTE: All of the following is pure speculation, based on strings found while data mining and looking at the source code for the UI element for the Overseer feature.  Please do not take any of the following information to heart!

The Overseer feature seems to be similar to the Follower Missions in World of Warcraft, for those who are familiar with that.
Based on the information I've gathered, it appears players will have access to "Minions" which they can send on Overseer missions.  If it works like WoW's Follower Missions, this is sort of like an idle game inside of EQ.  Players can send their Minions on a mission, then return x number of hours later to see if their Minion succeeded or not on their mission.  Players may be rewarded with some type of points, currency, items, faction or other.  Again, this is all speculation based on information found while data mining!

Happy days, Norrathians!

It's that time of year again! We've got a lot coming up, so let's get right to it.

EverQuest: Torment of Velious




The team has been heads-down on the latest expansion for quite some time now and we're
heading into Beta next week! That means pre-orders will begin next Wednesday, Oct. 23, between 10 AM and 12 PM (Noon) PDT. If you pre-order, you will get access to Beta.
As the expansion name suggests, we're heading back into Velious though events there have significantly altered the landscape. After 20 years, the devs have brought you a new ice shader – for obvious reasons. What a difference it makes! More on the story and events of Velious as we continue.

Torment of Velious brings you a level increase from 110 to 115 with new spells and AAs, gear, and content with 6 new zones, and quests, raids and more. The team will share more info as we go through Beta and get through the final stages of finishing up this expansion which will launch in December. We'll firm up the final launch date as we get closer.
We have added a new expansion bundle option you'll see next week that is geared toward Family and Friends. In addition to getting all the items included with the Standard, Collector's, and Premium editions, it also includes:

    TRADABLE Standard Torment of Velious Expansion
    TRADABLE versions of the Collector's and Premium Edition mounts
    TRADABLE heroic character boost
    Gnomish Legendary Bundle which will grant you:
        Clockwork rhino mount
        Gnomework illusion
        And your choice of all three of the following:
            A full suit of gnomish appearance gear
            A gnomish heritage teleporter
            A gnomish heritage familiar
        40-slot bag
        2 shared 50% experience potions.


The bundle is set at a high price point but is a good deal as a package overall. We made it because we've been asked for this type of package for years and wanted to try it out for those players who have multiple accounts, play with families, guildmates who support friends, and others. It's an experiment and we're interested to see where you go with it as players.




Miragul Server: A New Type of Progression!

Looking to join a new community on a new type of server?

On November 5, in support of EverQuest II's 15th anniversary, we are going to be launching a new type of progression server, named Miragul, that will start at the House of Thule expansion that launched in 2010. What does that mean?

You start as a Level 85 Heroic Character with live server experience rates, and all the trappings of a server that starts with a level cap of 90 with in-game housing, loads of raids, over 800 AAs, and more.
The server requires a membership to play and that's it!

What Else?

Keep an eye out for other news in November. We've got EQ2's 15th Anniversary as well as other announcements around that time that will further define our commitment to EverQuest and EverQuest II! We're also toying with selling limited edition EQ and EQ2 anniversary shirts on the internets. More on that soon!

See you in Velious, friends!

Sincerely, as always,

Holly "Windstalker" Longdale

- - Beastlord - Reduced the level required to purchase Cheetah's Pounce and made the ability available in Underfoot.
- - Berserker - Changed all ranks of Furious Leap to function like other leap abilities rather than relying on applying force to the caster. The reworked ability will now allow you to travel up to 234 feet forward. Reduced the initial reuse time of this ability from 60 seconds to 40 seconds and modified ranks 2-5 to reduce the reuse time by 5 seconds per rank rather than 10 seconds per rank, resulting in the final rank matching the existing reuse time of 20 seconds.

- - Shadowknight - Reduced the level required to purchase ranks 2-4 and 6-7 of Hate Step and made ranks 6-7 available in Veil of Alaris.
- - Shaman - Reduced the level required to purchase Spirit Leap and made the ability available in Underfoot.
- - Warrior - Changed all ranks of Furious Leap function like other leap abilities rather than relying on applying force to the caster. The reworked ability will now allow you to travel up to 234 feet forward. Reduced the initial reuse time of this ability from 60 seconds to 40 seconds and modified ranks 2-5 to reduce the reuse time by 5 seconds per rank rather than 10 seconds per rank, resulting in the final rank matching the existing reuse time of 20 seconds.
- - Wizard - Increased the distance that Netherstep allows you to travel from 160 to 315 feet and added 2 additional hastening ranks bringing the final reuse time down to 10 seconds at level 95.
- Multiple - AA abilities that reduce that chance that your root spells will break (ex: Druid - Enhanced Root, Enchanter - Clinging Root, etc.) will now only apply that improvement to root spells cast by that caster. Previously, when a caster with one of these abilities would cast a root spell, the improved break chance would apply to all root spells on that target.
- Bard - Corrected an issue with rank 43 of Boastful Bellow that caused the maximum level target that can be stunned to go down to 106 rather than up to 109.
- Enchanter - Increased the effectiveness of rank 17 of Gather Mana from 37,000 instant mana and 750 mana regeneration for 1 minute to 40,000 instant mana and 1,000 mana regeneration for 1 minute.
- Magician - Refunded all ranks of Intrinsic Efficiency, which was intended to be done when ranks 13-15 and 19-21 of Conjurer's Efficiency were consolidated.
- Necromancer - Refunded all ranks of Intrinsic Efficiency, which was intended to be done when ranks 2-7 of Embalmer's Efficiency were consolidated.
- Shadowknight - Refunded all ranks of Intrinsic Efficiency, which was intended to be done when ranks 2-7 of Embalmer's Efficiency were consolidated.
- Paladin - Hand of Tunare - Increased the number of counters on this ability to 20 to account for the fact that a successful twinheal focused with the mana penalty will consume 2 charges per cast. Reduced the duration of the ability from 6 minutes to 5 minutes and reduced the reuse time of the ability from 18 minutes to 15 minutes. Updated the ability so that the healing component of your Denouncement and Valiant Deflection line of spells will continue to be twincast, but the initial mana cost of these spells will be increased to compensate.
- Wizard - Ranks 1-5 of Mirror Mirror now increase the resist modifier of the reflected spell by 20 points per rank.


*** Miscellaneous ***
- Messages sent using tell windows are now logged correctly.
- /pick will now send players and group members to the evac point of a zone.
- Corrected an issue where days entitled could be incorrect when logging in by bypassing the LaunchPad, resulting in issues with claiming veteran rewards and easily becoming marked as spam.


*** UI ***
- Fixed a crash that can occur when there are multiple entries for the same ChatWindowX_ContainerIndex saved in the UI configuration file. This should help in some of the cases where you had to delete your ini files in order to login.
- Corrected a crash bug from moving a tab left of Main Chat.
- Removed some no longer used UI elements from the Marketplace window.
- When using Search in the Barter Window, the results will only display the most expensive buy line from each buyer per unique item matched from the search.
- When searching for items in both the Bazaar Search Window and Barter Window, results over the transaction cap (2000000 platinum) will not be displayed.
- Fixed a bug where you could not disable tribute benefits when running out of favor.
