True box is more restrictive than servers without it. Free trade (Firiona Vie ruleset) is less restrictive than servers without it. Voting unlock servers are more restrictive than servers without voting.

Now there will only ever be four haulers. They will try to pick up every ancient iksar or iksar skeleton corpse, rather than leaving some as they did before. So to get the achievement you must allow them all to be animated by Atrebe.

This change affects the following models: skeleton, bat, rat, snake, spider, drake, orc, goblin, puma, lion, kobold, zombie, mummy, basilisk/alligator, spectre, and wolf.\n\n\n*** Mercenaries ***\n\n- Mercenaries will now automatically get suspended if you join a raid.\n\n\n*** Progression Servers ***\n\n- The Enchanter spell Apathy is now available when Planes of Power unlocks.\n- Agents of Change on the Agnarr server will take on a more thematically appropriate appearance.\n- Calendar events on the Phinigel and Agnarr servers will show when future expansions will unlock.\n- Maestro of Rancor (Raid) - Pre and post revamp versions of Maestro will now have Mitigation of the Mighty and can use Mark of the Old Ways.\n- Innoruuk (Raid) - The post revamp version of Innoruuk can use Mark of the Old Ways.\n\n\n*** Miscellaneous ***\n\n- Addressed an issue where Replay Timers were sometimes improperly increased.\n- Addressed an issue that could cause Real Estate Anchors to not properly function.\n- Hunter and Raid achievements have been added for original EverQuest and Ruins of Kunark zones.\n\n\n*** UI ***\n\n- Added an event calendar that displays all of the event alerts for the year:\n- - The event calendar can be accessed via the command /calendar or via the EQ Button in the Alerts sub-menu.\n- - The event calendar lists all active events with beginning and end dates.\n- - The event calendar displays your localized start and end time for each event.\n- You can now toggle the potion belt UI on and off using the EQ menu.\n- Added the following commands to the menu that is displayed when left clicking a player's name in the chat window: Send tell, invite to group, invite to raid, task add, and add to dynamic zone.\n- Setting a custom chat timestamp color will now automatically cause timestamps in that chat window to display in that color, rather than also requiring you to disable the 'Match Chat Color' setting.\n- Made a number of adjustments to heroic stat labels in the item display window:\n- - Corrected a bug that prevented items that have negative heroic stats from displaying these stats.\n- - Heroic stats increased or decreased by power sources will now display their value in green/red the same way that base stats do.\n- - Adjusted the spacing of base stat and heroic stat labels to better support items with 3 digit heroic stat values.\n- Fixed an issue where newly created characters weren't properly loading their default Hot Buttons.\n\n\n- Changed -\n\nEQUI.xml\nEQUI_Animations.xml\nEQUI_EventCalendarWnd.xml\n\n\n*** Previously Updated ***\n\n- Magician - Fixed a bug that prevented Monster Summoning pets from being reclaimed.\n- Valdoon Paladin 2.0 (Raid) - Lowered the minimum number of players necessary to request this raid from 10 to 6.\n\n\n- The EverQuest Team","content_hash":"1fd2d24a4ab3d7007250207e2c8d7208c463b7fa31439ac8c4cf86f854cd2209","source_files":["patches-2017-1.txt"],"source_titles":["Game Update Notes: May 17, 2017"],"source_url":"https://forums.daybreakgames.com/eq/index.php?threads/game-update-notes-may-17-2017.240500/","source_urls":["https://forums.daybreakgames.com/eq/index.php?threads/game-update-notes-may-17-2017.240500/"],"occurrence_count":1,"source_occurrences":[{"occurrence_id":"aac790d442b4229ec8c3f478e5e125900fb56379731f84cfb20af9b3dfdf293d","filename":"patches-2017-1.txt","adapter":"text","source_offset":50059,"item_index":null,"heading":"Game Update Notes: May 17, 2017","source_url":"https://forums.daybreakgames.com/eq/index.php?threads/game-update-notes-may-17-2017.240500/","source_url_raw":"https://forums.daybreakgames.com/eq/index.php?threads/game-update-notes-may-17-2017.240500/","published":null,"source_kind":"text","excerpt":false,"year_inferred":false}],"year_inferred":false,"sequence":1,"slug":"2017-05-17-1","id":"2017-05-17-1"},{"patch_date":"2017-04-19","effective_date":"2017-04-19","display_date":"Game Update Notes: April 19, 2017","title":"Game Update Notes: April 19, 2017","year":2017,"month":4,"kind":"live","era":"EverQuest Live","expansion":"Empires of Kunark","expansion_code":"empires-of-kunark","categories":[{"slug":"bug-fixes","label":"Bug Fixes"},{"slug":"classes","label":"Classes"},{"slug":"spells-aa","label":"Spells & AA"},{"slug":"items","label":"Items"},{"slug":"zones-npcs","label":"Zones & NPCs"},{"slug":"quests-events","label":"Quests & Events"},{"slug":"ui","label":"UI"},{"slug":"servers","label":"Servers"},{"slug":"audio-graphics","label":"Audio & Graphics"},{"slug":"expansions","label":"Expansions"}],"sections":["Highlights","Items","Quests And Events","Spells","AA","NPCs","Progression Servers","Miscellaneous","UI","Previously Updated"],"change_count":106,"word_count":2256,"summary":"Highlights *** Added the ability for level 61 and higher level players to automatically activate basic combat skills (Backstab, Bash, Frenzy, Kick, Tiger Claw, etc) while auto-attacking.

See below for details.\n- Fixed an issue that caused boats to stop following their intended sailing paths.\n\n\n*** Items ***\n\n- Corrected a bug that caused heroic stats in the item display window to show their full value when they should have displayed an adjusted value depending on the 'modified' toggle in the window.\n- The innate benefit of Fiery Avenger, Fiery Defender, and Innoruuk's Curse that allows you to use the bash skill while wielding these weapons is now explicitly noted as a worn effect on these items.\n- Compressed Copper Stud and Golden Sage's Earring now use a higher tier Enhanced Minion spell, improving the pets of players wearing these earrings. You will need to summon a new pet to gain the benefits of this improvement.\n- Corrected the lore text on Giant Dire Wolf Skin.\n- Wrathful and Malevolent Hero's Forge armor pieces now have custom icons to help differentiate each set.\n- Music Box: Neriak can now be placed in housing.

(Quest) - Returning to an in-progress tutorial after camping out or a client crash should be handled more gracefully now.\n- Jail Break!

Additionally, all ranks will now consume 25% of the Berserker's health when the effect wears off.\n- - - Paladin - Valorous Rage now grants a non-cumulative increase. Additionally, the effectiveness of the critical damage portion ability has been reduced from 75-400% to 45-200%, the effectiveness of the weapon delay reduction effect has been reduced from 13-45% to 10-25%, and the ability has been flagged non-focusable so that its duration will be a static 1 minute. The portion of this ability that reduces healing focus has been removed.\n- - - Shaman - Fateseer's Boon and Prophet's Gift of the Ruchu now grant a non-cumulative effect.\n- - - Warrior - Savage Onslaught, Savage Assault, Brutal Onslaught Disciplines, and Heroic Rage now grant a non-cumulative increase.\n\n\n*** NPCs ***\n\n- The feigned bone golems in Miragul's Menagerie adventures that can act as a short term pet should now work more reliably.\n\n\n*** Progression Servers ***\n\n- Temple of Veeshan (Raid) - Fixed some errors with the spawning of some of the bosses (Gozzrem, Eashen, and Ikatiar) on progression servers. They should spawn and give lockouts as expected now.\n- Temple of Veeshan (Raid) - The lockout for the Halls of Testing Drakes should no longer compound with each kill in the same DZ.\n- 16th Anniversary quest givers will spawn on progression servers when Rain of Fear has unlocked on the server, instead of requiring The Broken Mirror.\n- 14th Anniversary NPCs now have descriptions under their names that are consistent with other Player Designed Mission quest givers.\n- Magics of Fear (Quest) - Sarviksa Tiths no longer has a restriction that prevents her from spawning until Legacy of Ykesha.\n- Bosses will no longer apply a Mark of the Old Ways debuff to pets if there are 10 or fewer pets on their hatelist.\n- Several Planes of Power era quests that were restricted to Lost Dungeons of Norrath have been changed so that they are restricted to Planes of Power. Some examples include the Restock High Quality Ore quests, the Storm Reaper Initiate Scimitar quest, and the Mace of the Stoutdeacon quest.\n- Progression servers will now automatically wipe all corpses from the game when an expansion that includes a level increase is opened. This is not retroactive for already unlocked expansions on existing progression servers but will activate going forward on existing progression servers and for all applicable expansions on new progression servers.\n- - This will happen when the following expansions unlock: The Ruins of Kunark, The Planes of Power, Omens of War, The Serpent's Spine, Secrets of Faydwer, Seeds of Destruction, House of Thule, Veil of Alaris, Rain of Fear, The Darkened Sea, and future expansions that include a level increase.\n- We've updated the expansion unlock required for many seasonal and anniversary events to run on progression servers. Most of these changes will result in events occurring on progression servers earlier than they were before, particularly the 5th-13th anniversary events. The current breakdown, roughly in calendar order:\n- - New Year - Omens of War\n- - Erollisi Day - Seeds of Destruction\n- - Brew Day - no restriction\n- - Bristlebane Day - Seeds of Destruction\n- - 5th anniversary fabled (NPCs in original EverQuest) - Gates of Discord\n- - 6th anniversary fabled (NPCs in Ruins of Kunark) - Dragons of Norrath\n- - 7th anniversary fabled (NPCs in Scars of Velious) - Prophecy of Ro\n- - 8th anniversary fabled (NPCs in Shadows of Luclin) - The Buried Sea\n- - 9th anniversary fabled (NPCs in Planes of Power) - Secrets of Faydwer\n- - 14th-18th anniversary Player Designed Missions - Rain of Fear\n- - 17th anniversary Faydwer Gnome Race - no restriction\n- - 17th anniversary Hate's Fury - The Broken Mirror\n- - 18th anniversary Tsaph's Day Off - Empires of Kunark\n- - Stomples Day - Planes of Power\n- - Hardcore Heritage Blackburrow - Secrets of Faydwer\n- - Hardcore Heritage Cazic-Thule - Secrets of Faydwer\n- - Hardcore Heritage Old Guk - Seeds of Destruction\n- - Hardcore Heritage Unrest - Seeds of Destruction\n- - Hardcore Heritage Crushbone - House of Thule\n- - Hardcore Heritage Permafrost - House of Thule\n- - Hardcore Heritage Mistmoore - Rain of Fear\n- - Hardcore Heritage Nagafen's Lair - Rain of Fear\n- - Hardcore Heritage NEW - Empires of Kunark\n- - Death, Death, Death! - Scars of Velious\n- - Living Legacy - Seeds of Destruction\n- - Stone Cold Summer - Veil of Alaris\n- - Nights of the Dead - Omens of War\n- - Raid, Raid, Raid! - Seeds of Destruction\n- - Frostfell - The Serpent's Spine\n\n\n*** Miscellaneous ***\n\n- Pickzones that lock will no longer suspend mercenaries.\n- Fixed an issue that caused boats to stop following their intended sailing paths.\n- In an effort to reduce the frustration caused by watery environments, melee attacks will no longer cause push back if the defender is in water. This applies to both PCs and NPCs.\n- Added the ability for level 61 and higher level players to automatically activate basic combat skills (Backstab, Bash, Frenzy, Kick, Tiger Claw, etc) while auto-attacking:\n- - The hold-right click menu for combat skill hot buttons now has an 'Auto Activate' toggle to enable/disable the automatic activation of these skills.\n- - The slash command /autoskill can also be used to toggle the automatic activation of these skills.\n- Fixed several grammatical errors related to tells and emotes.\n- Fixed an issue with purchasing Key Ring Slots.\n- Achievement reward sets that grant only money, quest AA abilities (ex.

However, note that NPCs may still be difficult to find.\n\n\n- The EverQuest Team","content_hash":"4e228638b68b689aee1f06d137652cf5ea47c5380fc82878aea70966dd7e5cd3","source_files":["patches-2017-1.txt"],"source_titles":["Game Update Notes: April 19, 2017"],"source_url":"https://forums.daybreakgames.com/eq/index.php?threads/game-update-notes-april-19-2017.239817/","source_urls":["https://forums.daybreakgames.com/eq/index.php?threads/game-update-notes-april-19-2017.239817/"],"occurrence_count":1,"source_occurrences":[{"occurrence_id":"5f0715491011ad11ed89108f7965ca0d4450a44ebca2cf6671bf31dfdb526f59","filename":"patches-2017-1.txt","adapter":"text","source_offset":35527,"item_index":null,"heading":"Game Update Notes: April 19, 2017","source_url":"https://forums.daybreakgames.com/eq/index.php?threads/game-update-notes-april-19-2017.239817/","source_url_raw":"https://forums.daybreakgames.com/eq/index.php?threads/game-update-notes-april-19-2017.239817/","published":null,"source_kind":"text","excerpt":false,"year_inferred":false}],"year_inferred":false,"sequence":1,"slug":"2017-04-19-1","id":"2017-04-19-1"},{"patch_date":"2016-11-16","effective_date":"2016-11-16","display_date":"Game Update Notes: November 16, 2016","title":"Game Update Notes: November 16, 2016","year":2016,"month":11,"kind":"live","era":"EverQuest Live","expansion":"Empires of Kunark","expansion_code":"empires-of-kunark","categories":[{"slug":"bug-fixes","label":"Bug Fixes"},{"slug":"classes","label":"Classes"},{"slug":"spells-aa","label":"Spells & AA"},{"slug":"items","label":"Items"},{"slug":"zones-npcs","label":"Zones & NPCs"},{"slug":"quests-events","label":"Quests & Events"},{"slug":"tradeskills","label":"Tradeskills"},{"slug":"ui","label":"UI"},{"slug":"servers","label":"Servers"},{"slug":"audio-graphics","label":"Audio & Graphics"},{"slug":"expansions","label":"Expansions"}],"sections":["Highlights","Items","Spells","NPC","Progression Servers","Miscellaneous","UI","Previously Updated"],"change_count":62,"word_count":1643,"summary":"After decades of slumber, Imperator Tsaph Katta awakens and vows to reform the Combine Empire.

With the former glorious capital of his nation rebuilt in the treacherous lands of Kunark, Tsaph Katta vows to cement his place in the annals of history as The Great Unifier. Not all are ready to bend to the will of Katta and his allies, least of all the current inhabitants of Kunark.\n\nMake haste and return to the ruins of Kunark to play your part in the coming turmoil!\n\n\n*** Highlights ***\n\n- EverQuest's 23rd expansion, \"Empires of Kunark\" is out now!\n- With the expansion comes an exciting new feature - the Familiar Key Ring!\n- Added the Task Overlay Window.\n\n\n*** Items ***\n\n- Added the Familiar Key Ring feature.\n- - The Familiar Key Ring provides 10 slots for you to store your familiar friends! Familiars can be added or removed from the Key Ring at any time, making it easy to organize the companions you want to have in your pack. In addition to freeing up precious bag space, the Familiar Key Ring also provides you with the ability to apply the stats of one familiar to the appearance of another, giving you more ways to customize your companion in-game.\n- - In addition to this, pet classes that previously had to decide between having a familiar or a combat pet specific to their class can now have BOTH out at the same time!\n- - Each character on your account will be granted a Familiar Key Ring with 10 slots. Need even more room than that? To unlock additional slots on your Key Ring, you can purchase them in the Marketplace or get them by upgrading your expansion to the Collector’s Edition or Premium Edition.\n- Inspecting a recipe book will now display 'Scribed' if you have learned all of the recipes the book is able to teach you and 'Not Scribed' if scribing the book would teach you new recipes.\n\n\n*** Spells ***\n\n- If you own the Familiar Key Ring feature, any illusion spells on summoned pets will persist when you zone.\n- Corrected a number of visual issues related to height and illusion spells:\n- - Applying and removing an illusion after having your height modified should now consistently return you to your adjusted height. Previously some illusion spells would return you to your racial default height rather than your shrunk/grown height.\n- - Players under the effects of an illusion should now consistently appear to be the correct height to other players. This should reduce the likelihood of seeing 6-foot-tall gnomes.\n- The initial damage or healing on certain spells that have a duration can now land critically. Previously, spells that healed a target or dealt damage when they landed but also had a duration would not roll a critical chance.\n- Improved how buffs stack when checking spell effects that modify particular skills. If two buffs use the same spell effect in the same slot but impact different skills, they will now be allowed to stack.\n- - Example: Previously, if a Monk had activated Steelfist Discipline (which increases Round Kick damage by 270% in slot 5) and a Beastlord activated Group Bestial Alignment (which increases all melee damage by 30% in slot 5) the Beastlord's effect would not have taken hold on the Monk. Under the new rules, the abilities are allowed to coexist because they are modifying different skills.\n- Added the ability for Warlowe Rida in the Plane of Tranquility to help you [remember] your progressive spell progress and make sure you have the highest rank available. If you have lost ranks of these abilities due to race changes or other errors, please consult her.\n- Increased the base accuracy of all pets summoned by spells between levels 101 and 105. This should help them hit NPCs, particularly raid targets, much more often.\n- Ranked pets in these levels now gain much more accuracy per rank than they did before.\n- Boosted the base accuracy of all unfocused pets.\n- Boosted the rate of accuracy gain per focus level for focused pets.\n- Several buffs that increase the damage of a limited number of spells have been adjusted so that they will only focus spells that deal more than 100 points of damage. This should prevent cases like the Magician Rampaging Servant line of spells from consuming charges from Flames of Power.\n- Changed all healing spells that formerly would have given additional bonus healing under certain conditions to now heal for either their base amount or a larger bonus amount. The following spells were changed:\n- - All Cleric spells that gave bonus healing for targets at low health\n- Changed all damage spells that formerly would have dealt additional bonus damage under certain conditions. They will now deal a base amount of damage or a larger amount of damage with bonuses. These bonuses were increased over their former amounts of damage to account for the loss of additional spell damage effects on each \"line.\" The following spells were changed:\n- - All Cleric/Paladin/Druid spells that dealt additional damage to undead or summoned creatures\n- - All Shadowknight/Necromancer spells that dealt additional damage to plants\n- - All Magician spells that would hit multiple times based on the number of pets active on the target's hatelist\n- Beastlord - Removed push from the Envenomed Breath line of DoT spells.\n- Berserker - Moved Dichotomic Rage from timer 18 to timer 21.\n- Druid - Changed Nurturing Growth so it will function correctly if you have a familiar or pet active when you cast it.\n\n\n*** NPC ***\n\n- Added the ability to rename your familiars. To bring up the familiar name change window, use the command \"/changefamiliar.\" This will require the new item Potion of Familiar's Amnesia on the marketplace. Familiars will now also have a tag under their name to indicate their owner if their names have been changed.\n- Beastlord warders who have their names changed will now display their owners' names.\n- A Grimling Hero in Acrylia will now despawn if he's been up and idle for several minutes.\n\n\n*** Progression Servers ***\n\n- Karam Dragonforge will spawn correctly on servers that have not yet unlocked Secrets of Faydwer. Like Praetorian Myral, he also has returned from his beard grooming appointment.\n\n\n*** Miscellaneous ***\n\n- You may now have a pet and a familiar summoned at the same time. The familiar has been removed from the pet window and the command \"/pet leave\" will no longer function for familiars.\n- Added a slash command \"/familiar leave\" to tell the familiar to go away. Also added a button to the Familiar tab in the Key Rings window to tell the familiar to leave as well.\n- Corrected a visual bug that could cause some Luclin PC models to appear to be standing up rather than riding when running while mounted.\n- Statistic buffs have been split from familiar buffs and dismissing a familiar will now also remove the 'Summon Familiar' buff.\n- Fixed an issue where players did not receive a reduced lockout timer when they were invited to an expedition that had reduced lockout timers.\n- Addressed an issue that would cause fellowship leaders to sometimes change randomly.\n- Fixed an issue that would sometimes block completion of task elements in Heroic Adventures when they required completing the element multiple times.\n\n\n*** UI ***\n\n- Added the task overlay window. This window is on by default and its behavior is slightly different from other windows in the UI:\n- - It defaults to 0% opacity. This can be changed using the right click menu.\n- - It defaults to allowing clicks through.

See NPC section for details.\n\n\n*** Items ***\n\n- Increased the rank of Form of Endurance on Mask of Immortal End and Hardened Mask of Immortal End from 25 to 30.\n- Placing Jade Tiger in your real estate will no longer place Schrodinger and vice versa.\n\n\n*** Quests & Events ***\n\n- Karam Dragonforge's quests should now work correctly and not eat valid items. His dialogues will indicate which items he needs.\n- - On servers that have unlocked Secrets of Faydwer, Karam Dragonforge will require \"Square Cut Black Sapphire\", \"Marquise Cut Alexandrite\", \"Platinum Trio Ring\", and \"White Dragon Hide\" in order to create a White Dragonscale Cloak.\n- - On servers that have not yet unlocked Secrets of Faydwer, Karam Dragonforge will require \"Platinum Diamond Wedding Ring\", \"Black Sapphire Platinum Necklace\", and \"White Dragon Hide\" in order to create a White Dragonscale Cloak.\n- Deaths of the Unliving - Made some changes to this task in Sul Vius: Life that might prevent it from being broken at the \"examine the body\" step. Internally this has never been reproduced, so please let us know if you still encounter issues.\n- It should no longer be possible to spawn multiple versions of the Caller event NPCs in Fungus Grove by force-feeding the trigger dozens of Blargrot beverages. In addition, the event versions of the Caller NPCs are now PC friendly.\n\n\n*** Spells ***\n\n- Necromancer - Moved Dichotomic Paroxysm from timer 18 to timer 20.\n- Bard - Lowered the endurance cost of Dichotomic Psalm, increased the amount of damage it adds to spells and melee strikes, and changed the HP, Mana, and Endurance return amounts to match the proportions granted by Crescendo songs.\n- Casting Call of the Hero in Acrylia will again summon A Grimling Hero.\n\n\n*** NPC ***\n\n- Modified NPC pathing logic when an NPC is in combat against a PC.\n- - NPCs will now be less inclined to stop short of a moving target, which should result in high speed NPCs more consistently catching and attacking PCs.\n- - Fixed a visual bug where an NPC moving toward a player would move, then teleport forward a short distance a second later.\n\n\n*** Progression Servers ***\n\n- Bartering will now unlock when the Shadows of Luclin unlocks instead of waiting until Dragons of Norrath.\n- In the instanced version of the Accursed Temple of Cazic-Thule, the bosses will now correctly use Mitigation of the Mighty IV.\n- Darrisa Nyny in West Freeport and Celni Pawfoot in Commonlands will begin spawning when the Shadows of Luclin has unlocked. They offer Beastlord discipline tomes. Darrisa Nyny is also another source of hybrid discipline tomes.\n- The shissar wraiths that spawn after Emperor Ssraeshza's death in Ssraeshza Temple instances will no longer be subject to the loot lockout for the basepop, but instead will be linked to the lockout for the emperor himself.\n- Praetorian Myral's extensive beard grooming appointment has completed. He will again spawn in Grieg's End.\n\n\n*** Miscellaneous ***\n\n- Fixed a few bugs with the advanced looting system.\n- - Zones which have been repopped will now properly work with advanced looting.\n- - Fixed a crash which could happen when items are removed from the personal loot list.\n- - Fixed a problem with multiple of the same item dropping on an npc/chest.\n- Fixed the excessive vertical camera bounce that occurred for Frogloks introduced in the last update.\n- Fixed an issue that would disable entire accounts from logging in if one of the characters on an account is corrupted. The non-corrupted characters will appear roughly 10 minutes after login if this is the case. Players experiencing this should contact Customer Support to get the corrupted characters removed or fixed.\n- Fixed a client crash when the total number of Traders in the bazaar is more than 600.\n- Upgraded some internal graphics libraries. Please let us know if you can no longer reach character select.\n- Reduced the number of Alternate Advancement Point achievements. Achievements are granted for every 500 points spent between 5000 and 10000 and for every 1000 points spent between 10000 and 20000.\n- Characters will no longer receive the achievement \"Whispers of Kunark.\"\n\n\n*** UI ***\n\n- Corrected issues with the reward selection window that would cause rewards to fail to preview and sort correctly.\n- Fixed an issue where Pet Rename reminders were not properly being disabled.\n- Paste from clipboard will now default to Ctrl-V.\n- Removed the allowing / disallowing of Pixel Shaders 1.1 and Pixel Shaders 1.4. The Pixel Shaders 2.0 control will now handle allowing / disallowing of those because all pre-2.0 Pixel Shaders are now treated as 2.0 Shaders.\n\n\n- Changed -\n\nEQUI_AdvancedDisplayOptionsWnd.xml\n\n\n*** Previously Updated ***\n\n- Zones that have areas with restrictions on corpse summoning, Call of the Hero, Bind Affinity, or similar effects, will work the same way in the instance as the base zone. The Emperor's Room in Ssraeshza Temple is one example.\n- Sage Vindillar will no longer attempt to send live test subjects to a place that doesn't exist yet. He will return when Planes of Power is unlocked.\n- Locked doors and portals inside Ssraeshza Temple and Vex Thal will now work correctly inside the Phinigel instance.\n- All teleportation stones except for the stone to Qeynos in the Plane of Knowledge will be disabled until the Planes of Power launches.\n- Being in the Emperor's room in Ssraeshza Temple without the key will kick you back to the Nexus. The key requirement for Emperor's room is removed once Gates of Discord has unlocked on the server.\n\n\n- The EverQuest Team","content_hash":"5ba6a46dd93b2bf70e7aed09698cdf2d35705293c9332ba534270053763456fd","source_files":["patches-2016-2.txt"],"source_titles":["Game Update Notes: October 19, 2016"],"source_url":"https://forums.daybreakgames.com/eq/index.php?threads/game-update-notes-october-19-2016.235819/","source_urls":["https://forums.daybreakgames.com/eq/index.php?threads/game-update-notes-october-19-2016.235819/"],"occurrence_count":1,"source_occurrences":[{"occurrence_id":"ba0a11f03323eacfa2930c7ba5dc003a7b0676e921802fb136a2fbe2b6470515","filename":"patches-2016-2.txt","adapter":"text","source_offset":55376,"item_index":null,"heading":"Game Update Notes: October 19, 2016","source_url":"https://forums.daybreakgames.com/eq/index.php?threads/game-update-notes-october-19-2016.235819/","source_url_raw":"https://forums.daybreakgames.com/eq/index.php?threads/game-update-notes-october-19-2016.235819/","published":null,"source_kind":"text","excerpt":false,"year_inferred":false}],"year_inferred":false,"sequence":1,"slug":"2016-10-19-1","id":"2016-10-19-1"},{"patch_date":"2016-09-21","effective_date":"2016-09-21","display_date":"Game Update Notes: September 21, 2016","title":"Game Update Notes: September 21, 2016","year":2016,"month":9,"kind":"live","era":"EverQuest Live","expansion":"The Broken Mirror","expansion_code":"the-broken-mirror","categories":[{"slug":"bug-fixes","label":"Bug Fixes"},{"slug":"classes","label":"Classes"},{"slug":"spells-aa","label":"Spells & AA"},{"slug":"items","label":"Items"},{"slug":"zones-npcs","label":"Zones & NPCs"},{"slug":"quests-events","label":"Quests & Events"},{"slug":"tradeskills","label":"Tradeskills"},{"slug":"ui","label":"UI"},{"slug":"servers","label":"Servers"},{"slug":"audio-graphics","label":"Audio & Graphics"},{"slug":"expansions","label":"Expansions"}],"sections":["Highlights","Items","Quests & Events","Spells","NPCs","Tradeskills","AA","Progression Servers","Miscellaneous","UI","Previously Updated"],"change_count":88,"word_count":2180,"summary":"Highlights *** Look to the marketplace this October for the Big Cat in a Bag.

It is not fully utilized yet, but future event messages will be placed in this chat filter.\n- Attempting to camp while over the parcel limit will now prompt you to retrieve the parcels. You can turn this confirmation box off in the options window.\n- Massaged some typos and bad grammar out of the game.\n- In the Bazaar, the default for the Max Results per Trader field is now 20 from 200.\n- Fixed an issue in the claim window which caused it to lock up when attempting to claim a lore item that you already owned.\n- Fixed an item preview issue for Drakkin models so that it now correctly matches the color and tattoo settings of the player character.\n- Changed the auto-attack on assist setting so that it persists per character instead of per client.

Total damage should remain the same.\n- Ranger - Fixed a bug that caused Copsestalker's Enrichment to fail to affect Berserker abilities.\n- Shadowknight - Corrected spell messaging for Dichotomic Fang.\n- Warrior - Adjusted Last Stand Discipline so that it will not be overwritten by Night's Endless Terror.\n- Corrected an issue that prevented damage over time spells that increase in severity over their duration from landing if their target had regeneration effects in the same slot.\n- Corrected an issue that would sometimes cause group recourse spells to fail to hit members of your group at certain ranges.\n- Rabies, everyone's favorite long-duration low level DoT, will no longer interfere with OOC regen.\n\n\n*** NPCs ***\n\n- Corrected a spell data problem that made some NPC Shadowknights deal extra damage with Harm Touch.\n- Akkapan Adan will no longer summon.\n- Merchant NPCs in Sul Vius: Demiplane of Decay heroic adventures are now combatable.\n- Lyndalin Delwadamain, Kamiowe Ordup, and their allies now have something to say about their purpose.\n- Bosses with the Mitigation of the Mighty buff can no longer be charmed.\n\n\n*** AA ***\n\n- Bard - Corrected an issue that prevented Shauri's Levitation from hitting members of the Bard's group when using rank 2 of Shauri's Sonorous Clouding.\n- Enchanter - Removed the maximum level that the pet summoned by your Illusory Ally can attempt to taunt.\n- Magician - Removed the maximum level that the pet summoned by your Companion of Necessity can attempt to taunt.\n- Shaman - Removed the maximum level that the pet summoned by your Spirit of Urgency can attempt to taunt.\n- Wizard - Corrected an issue where rank 2 of Beam of Displacement would always be resisted.\n- Wizard - In order to provide a better balance between group and raid content, the initial damage of ranks 13-16 of Mana Burn have been adjusted to deal a maximum of 25% of the target's health, up to the existing damage values.\n\n\n*** Progression Servers ***\n\n- On Phinigel, characters with loot lockouts longer than 6.5 days should have those reduced to 6.5 days upon logging in. Please log in any affected characters as soon as possible. This fix will need to be removed in a month or two.\n- Fixed an edge case that could cause characters to get multiple loot lockouts for the same instanced raid on Phinigel. This seems to only happen in an instance that spawned with no basepop lockout if your first basepop kill included multiple basepop NPCs at once.\n- The Agent of Change will no longer send you under the world when you leave the battle with Lord Nagafen.\n- The bosses in the Plane of Sky instance will now be the same difficulty as the bosses in the static zone on progression servers.\n- Fixed a problem that prevented Master Yael from spawning in his proper instance.\n\n\n*** Collections ***\n\n- Items for the An Ounce of Fetid Flesh collection in the Crypt of Sul should be much more common.

Some burn disciplines have had power reduced. See the Spell and AA sections for details.\n- Added an AA ability for all pet classes that reduces the amount of hate your pet will generate.\n- Fixed several issues with the Frenzied Burnout AA line for Magicians.\n- Magician and Necromancer pets are now weaker in large numbers against some raid targets on Progression Servers.

This gives the water pet the ability to utilize this buff.\n- - Corrected several inconsistencies where some robes in the series were casting a lower level version of the bolt focus spell than they should have been.\n- The Doljonijiarnimorinar axe now has a positive weight instead of a negative weight.\n\n\n*** Quests & Events ***\n\n- A cold wind blows through the caverns below the spires that sit at the center of Luclin's deadliest mountains. Practitioners of the dark arts may be interested in seeking this out.\n- Plane of Sky - The Djinn quest givers that inhabit the halls below the first island have had their respawn time reduced from 2.4 hours to 20 minutes.\n- Alerts have been created for Living Legacy and Brew Day events!\n- Alerts for recurring events should show up again if you had dismissed them in years past.\n\n\n*** Spells ***\n\n- Damage dealt by a defender to their attacker as a result of a damage shield will no longer display two lines of text when this damage is dealt.\n- Implemented a new timer ID (-1) for melee abilities that allows them to be used independently.\n- Beastlord - Reduced the skill damage modifier on the caster's portion of Bestial Fury Discipline and Empathic Fury by 50, Savage Fury by 13-16, and Savage Rage by 10-16 due to innate AA increases. This is designed to keep melee burns the same (or higher) while increasing damage at all other times.\n- Berserker - Moved all axe summoning abilities from timer 7 to timer -1.\n- Berserker - All abilities that summon multiple axes now have a 4 second cast time and 12 second recast time.\n- Berserker - Reduced the skill damage modifier by 50 on Blind Rage Discipline and Berserking Discipline, Sundering Discipline by 33, and Brutal Discipline by 30 due to innate AA increases.

This is designed to keep melee burns the same (or higher) while increasing damage at all other times.\n- Rogue - Moved the Blinding Flash line from timer 8 to timer -1.\n- Rogue - Reduced the skill damage modifier on Duelist Discipline and its upgrades (Assassin, Eradicator, Executioner) by 50 due to innate AA increases.

This is designed to keep melee burns the same (or higher) while increasing damage at all other times.\n\n\n*** AA ***\n\n- Implemented the following changes in an effort to create an overall increase in damage over time while leaving the damage dealt under the effects of short duration (burn) disciplines at least what it was previously.\n- - Starting at level 40 and extending to level 105, all non-caster classes will be granted ranks in a passive AA ability line that increases overall melee damage dealt with all skill types. The percentage increase starts at 10% and increases to 50% by level 65 for all classes. For levels 70 through 105 the percentage increase scales differently per class.\n- Ranger - Created a new AA ability called Gladestrider's Leap. It is available starting at level 85 from the Underfoot expansion.\n- Ranger - All ranks of the Journeyman's Speed ability now reduce the re-use time for Gladestrider's Leap.\n- All pet classes now have an activated AA ability called Companion's Calm Demeanor. This ability, when activated, will reduce the hatred generated by your summoned pets by 40%.\n- Enchanter - Renamed the ability Deep Sleep to Projected Somnolence.\n- Enchanter - Projected Somnolence retains the chance to trigger Deep Sleep on a mesmerized target, but now also has a 100% chance to trigger Somnolence when the enchanter casts a level 65 or higher cripple spell.\n- - Each rank of Somnolence is an equivalent accuracy debuff to each rank of Deep Sleep but does not offer the attack speed debuff (Deep Sleep's Malaise) imparted by rank 6 and higher of Deep Sleep.\n- Magician - Fixed the following issues with the line \"Frenzied Burnout\":\n- - Ranks 1-9 now have a functioning flurry chance. This chance is additive with the owner's passive pet flurry chance AA abilities. (The flurry chance on Ranks 7-9 previously did not function for pets.)\n- - Ranks 1-9 now have a defined rampage chance. Note: a pet's rampage attacks will not break mesmerization. (Previously, only rank 1 of this AA line and no other had a special case that caused the magician's pet alternate flurry chance and rampage chance. This special case for rank 1 has been removed and now ranks 1-9 have a defined rampage chance.)\n- Warrior - Corrected a bug that prevented the ability Dual-Wielding Proficiency from being activated if the warrior had a piercing weapon in their primary hand and a one-handed blunt weapon in their secondary hand.\n\n\n*** Progression Servers ***\n\n- Increased the maximum number of adventurers that can be in any load balanced version of the Commonlands.\n- Many of the bosses in the Ruins of Kunark will provide more of a challenge on Progression Servers. Bosses in the Ruins of Kunark will only spawn in the base version of their zone.\n- Returned the defensive skill values of level 1-65 magician and necromancer pets to match what they were in the Planes of Power era. This will only affect Progression Servers until LDoN unlocks on the server. These changes have no impact on other live servers.\n- Raid targets that were previously increased in power on Progression Servers now have the ability Mark of the Old Ways. This will reduce the resistances and melee damage output and increase incoming melee damage of Magician and Necromancer pets with increasing severity based on the total number of those pets that are attacking the raid target.\n- Progression raid targets have had their difficulty reduced, particularly in the Plane of Sky.\n\n\n*** Miscellaneous ***\n\n- Link-dead (LD) players will no longer be immediately removed from the world.\n- /quit now works like /exit.\n- Fixed a bug that caused certain raid bosses to stop appearing in instances on live servers. This primarily impacted Lady Vox and Lord Nagafen in Old Man McKenzie's Ancient Heroes missions.\n\n\n*** UI ***\n\n- Extended target slots set to display targets that don't exist will now not render a lifebar rather than displaying an empty lifebar with the name \"------\".\n\n\n- Changed -\n\n\n*** Previously Updated ***\n\n- Addressed some world stability issues related to spam filtering.\n- You will no longer crash when trying to \"View Mine\" for an achievement that you cannot view.\n- Lowered the AC values of many NPCs in the Arx Mentis raids by up to 45 percent. This should allow melee hits to land for higher damage against these targets.\n\n\n- The EverQuest Team","content_hash":"b925adab93c0c14131ddabf1531f8f796b3d8003077cb4e7f8145ae3a9d5245e","source_files":["patches-2015-2.txt"],"source_titles":["Game Update Notes: August 19, 2015"],"source_url":"https://forums.daybreakgames.com/eq/index.php?threads/game-update-notes-august-19-2015.226057/","source_urls":["https://forums.daybreakgames.com/eq/index.php?threads/game-update-notes-august-19-2015.226057/"],"occurrence_count":1,"source_occurrences":[{"occurrence_id":"2d5972b9a096ba9a8d9e7ffc095b9f1b6569bb75c4a114b48efa5a8c68e47ec2","filename":"patches-2015-2.txt","adapter":"text","source_offset":14117,"item_index":null,"heading":"Game Update Notes: August 19, 2015","source_url":"https://forums.daybreakgames.com/eq/index.php?threads/game-update-notes-august-19-2015.226057/","source_url_raw":"https://forums.daybreakgames.com/eq/index.php?threads/game-update-notes-august-19-2015.226057/","published":null,"source_kind":"text","excerpt":false,"year_inferred":false}],"year_inferred":false,"sequence":1,"slug":"2015-08-19-1","id":"2015-08-19-1"},{"patch_date":"2015-04-22","effective_date":"2015-04-22","display_date":"Game Update Notes: April 22, 2015","title":"Game Update Notes: April 22, 2015","year":2015,"month":4,"kind":"live","era":"EverQuest Live","expansion":"The Darkened Sea","expansion_code":"the-darkened-sea","categories":[{"slug":"bug-fixes","label":"Bug Fixes"},{"slug":"classes","label":"Classes"},{"slug":"spells-aa","label":"Spells & AA"},{"slug":"items","label":"Items"},{"slug":"zones-npcs","label":"Zones & NPCs"},{"slug":"quests-events","label":"Quests & Events"},{"slug":"ui","label":"UI"},{"slug":"servers","label":"Servers"},{"slug":"audio-graphics","label":"Audio & Graphics"},{"slug":"expansions","label":"Expansions"}],"sections":["Highlights","Quests & Events","Spells","NPC","Mercenaries","Miscellaneous","UI","Previously Updated"],"change_count":31,"word_count":676,"summary":"Highlights *** Advanced Loot System: Improved the performance of adding, deleting, and changing loot filter settings (AN/AG/Never).

This is a one-way server transfer and your character will not remain on the original server.\n      \n    - Housing Layouts\n\n    Housing layouts allow for the saving and loading of entire sets of placed items.  When you create a look for your yard, your house, or your entire plot that you want to keep, you can save it as a layout.  You are then free to modify the plot's appearance, because at any point in the future you can easily load the layout and all available layout items will be restored to their saved positions.\n\n    There are a number of options available when loading a layout:\n    - You can store all currently placed items that aren't used in the layout or keep them where they are\n    - You can use items from your inventory while loading a layout\n    - You can choose to load only the house or yard portions of a layout. \n\n    Whenever a layout is loaded, an Auto Save layout is created of the plot's placed items right before the load was done, allowing you the ability to undo a mistaken load.  Also, in case you forget the items that went to a particular layout, there is a layout details window.  This window tells you all of the required items for a specific layout and whether or not you have enough of them available to fully load the layout with your desired settings.\n\n    - A New Face in the Neighborhood\n\n    An uneasy tension fills the morning air of Sunrise Hills. Garik, the recipient of five consecutive losses at Orcakar glares around the room irreverently before speaking, 'I don't much care for their kind waltzing into our home and bandying about their authority like they do...'\n\n    Darix, the cynical antagonist, smiles, 'You sound worried, little man. You should keep your focus on the game at hand. He's not a concern to us; let him wander about crafting his knickknacks and going on about his brother...'\n\n    Ragthar slams a small Orc figurine down on to the table and lets loose a roaring laugh, 'Me win again!' The surrounding trio sighs. Perhaps a new face in the neighborhood will introduce a bit of luck in their efforts to best the Ogre savant...\n\n    - Tremors and Premonitions\n\n    The rumors started, as they usually do, with the gnomes.  The Eldritch Collective buzzes with activity, and even the students are excited by something they can feel in the air.  A flurry of messages zips from sage to sage, each returning confirmed - the Order of Three, the Academy of Arcane Scientists, the Keepers of the Art, and even, surreptitiously, the Heretics - they all feel the same subtle change in the fabric of reality.\n\n    The barrier is weakening.\n\n\n    *** Zek ***\n\n    - Zek server - The zoning protection has been changed.  A new spell called Runes of Zek now protects players as they zone.  This spell will last 18 to 24 seconds.  If the player with this spell on them moves more than 1 unit, the spell drops.  The server will not cast this spell on a player if they have already received the buff within the last minute.\n\n\n    *** Items ***\n\n    - Fixed some issues with heirloom items and augments.\n    - Fixed an issue that was not properly showing the description on augments.\n    - Item stacks now work properly in real estates.\n    - Dwerium jewelry now properly and immediately adjusts your stats.\n    - Corrected several items that could mistakenly be traded on the Firiona Vie server.\n\n\n    *** Tradeskills ***\n\n    - Cultural Treasurer Foiwom will now store/retrieve illustrious patterns.\n    - Cultural Treasurer Siofra will now store/retrieve extravagant charm patterns.\n    - Cultural Treasurer Siofra will now offer a cultural book task for illustrious books.\n\n\n    *** Quests & Events ***\n\n    - Cazic's Final Stand - Lowered the damage of several of Cazic's spells.\n    - The Stone Warden - The warden can no longer be stunned with House of Thule spells. You'll now have to resort to charm and good looks.\n\n\n    *** Spells ***\n\n    - Fixed an issue that was causing your mana and endurance to drop when zoning while under the effects of revival sickness.\n    - Ranger - Increased the Tempus Faycite Shard: Heartrend effect and adjusted the description for accuracy.\n    - Rogue - Increased the Tempus Faycite Shard: Pinpoint Flaws effect to match the description.\n\n\n    *** NPC ***\n\n    - NPCs will no longer enrage at 10% life.  Pets are not affected by this change.\n    - Returned the heralds of Druzzil Ro to their rightful places.\n    - Straggling New Years NPCs should no longer be spawning and attacking unsuspecting travelers.\n\n         \n    *** AA ***\n\n    - Shadowknight - Removed the spell casting restriction on Visage of Death.\n    - There are significant changes to the way Headshot, Anatomy, and Finishing Blow function:\n    - - Assassinate, Headshot, and Finishing Blow now increase the damage delivered with each new rank.\n    - - Anatomy and Headshot now increase the maximum level of NPCs affected by 2 per rank.\n    - - Headshot has 3 new levels to bring it equal with Assassinate to 19 ranks total.\n\n\n    *** Achievements ***\n\n    - Underfoot meta achievements now list the correct achievements you need to complete in order to earn them.\n\n      \n    *** Miscellaneous ***\n\n    - Corrected Randall of the Fellows' misconceptions about the new fellowship size.\n    - Pagus Nonad has joined the other merchants in Sunrise Hills.\n    - Increased the number of objects you can place in your real estate plots by 50 percent.\n    - Modified the real estate zones so that players not owning House of Thule are now allowed to enter them but not own or manipulate them.\n    - The Loyalist merchants have changed their inventory.  They no longer sell Surefall Satchels and now they sell some 3 room houses with a 300 item limit, 200 of that vault space, and no continuing upkeep.  These will also only be available for a limited time.\n    - Matched the hail range for NPCs to the same distance as the say range and corrected several visual errors with the distance check:\n    - - You will no longer get a \"too far away\" message if the NPC did not have a hail task step for you to complete.\n    - - Hailing outside of 100 feet only prevents task step completion. It does not affect normal hail responses.\n    - - The error message now uses the proper formatting of the name.\n    - You can now use SMS and Paypal to purchase Station Cash through the EQ UI.\n    - Fixed a couple of issues where if a player equipped or unequipped a primary or secondary item slot and then camped, used /exit, or /quit, the character select screen would show the wrong weapons equipped for the character.  If the slot was previously equipped and had become unequipped, when entering the game, a ghost item would appear in the character's hand initially.  These issues should no longer occur.\n    - Fixed a server disconnect that could occur when entering the tutorial with a newly-created character.\n    - If you have no credit cards on file in the Marketplace the credit card on file button is now disabled with a tool tip explaining how to add a credit card.  Also fixed a bug that could cause your credit cards on file to be inaccessible.\n      \n\n    *** UI ***\n\n    - Added the ability for buttons to have a custom \"text on pressed\" color. See the Real Estate Items window for usage.\n    - Implemented custom text colors on buttons in the Real Estate Items window.\n    - Added a button template for blue buttons.\n    - Added the ability to use a defined template for the ButtonDrawTemplate instead of needing to define the template in the button.  See the Actions window for usage.\n    - Implemented the button templates in the following windows: AA, Achievements, Actions, Marketplace and Real Estate Manage.\n    - Fixed multiple issues that occasionally caused text clipping and resizing issues for windows using horizontal or vertical layout boxes.\n    - The PvP stats window will now remember that it was closed if the done button was used to close it.\n    - Added a layout tab to the Real Estate Items window to allow for layout management.\n    - Converted the EQ button menu to read from the CascadeMenu.txt file in the UI folder.\n    - Added Placeable option to \"select by type\" menu of bazaar's search window.\n    - Clicking arrange left in the Extended Target window now works properly.\n    - Fixed a bug that was causing valid claim items to disable the claim button when selected in the claim window.   Also fixed a bug that caused the claim button to be enabled the first time you opened the claim window even if the first claim item was not valid.\n\n\n    - Added -\n    EQUI_RealEstateLayoutDetailsWnd.xml\n    EQUI_VoteResultsWnd.xml\n    EQUI_VoteWnd.xml\n\n    - Changed -\n    EQUI.xml\n    EQUI_AAWindow.xml\n    EQUI_AchievementsWnd.xml\n    EQUI_ActionsWindow.xml\n    EQUI_Animations.xml\n    EQUI_MailAddressBookWindow.xml\n    EQUI_MarketplaceWnd.xml\n    EQUI_RealEstateItemsWnd.xml\n    EQUI_RealEstateManageWnd.xml\n    EQUI_RealEstateNeighborhood.xml\n    EQUI_RealEstatePurchaseWnd.xml\n    EQUI_ServerListWnd.xml\n    EQUI_Templates.xml\n    SIDL.xml\n\n\n    *** Previously Updated ***\n\n    - Changed the various new wisps in multiple zones to a model that pets will not ignore.\n    - Cazic's Final Stand - Cazic will no longer overlap his elemental spell casts.\n    - Cazic's Final Stand - Players will have more time to avoid Cazic's Quailing Spirit and Fearful Awareness spells.\n    - Cazic's Final Stand - Cazic no longer becomes invulnerable when the adventurers successfully attack him.\n    - Cazic's Final Stand - Cazic will no longer increase his attack power over time and will no longer use his AE melee ability.\n    - Cazic's Final Stand - Corrected bugs that introduced a \"hard timer\" and caused some players to go linkdead when feared.\n    - Cazic's Final Stand - Cazic's commands should no longer target the main tank.\n\n\n\n    - The EverQuest Team","content_hash":"3940e17630e57913524f46dc2b1b70532fb15ef8cbb68c3f2c503bed45751d41","source_files":["patches-2011-1.txt"],"source_titles":["February 9, 2011"],"source_url":null,"source_urls":[],"occurrence_count":1,"source_occurrences":[{"occurrence_id":"1a7f606dcf12abc33cc52d431c2e0be8e1b5236596667b3fd15214228f4f10d3","filename":"patches-2011-1.txt","adapter":"text","source_offset":9235,"item_index":null,"heading":"February 9, 2011","source_url":null,"source_url_raw":null,"published":null,"source_kind":"text","excerpt":false,"year_inferred":false}],"year_inferred":false,"sequence":1,"slug":"2011-02-09-1","id":"2011-02-09-1"},{"patch_date":"2010-10-21","effective_date":"2010-10-21","display_date":"October 21, 2010","title":"October 21, 2010","year":2010,"month":10,"kind":"live","era":"EverQuest Live","expansion":"House of Thule","expansion_code":"house-of-thule","categories":[{"slug":"bug-fixes","label":"Bug Fixes"},{"slug":"classes","label":"Classes"},{"slug":"spells-aa","label":"Spells & AA"},{"slug":"items","label":"Items"},{"slug":"zones-npcs","label":"Zones & NPCs"},{"slug":"quests-events","label":"Quests & Events"},{"slug":"tradeskills","label":"Tradeskills"},{"slug":"ui","label":"UI"},{"slug":"servers","label":"Servers"},{"slug":"audio-graphics","label":"Audio & Graphics"},{"slug":"expansions","label":"Expansions"}],"sections":["Items","Tradeskills","Quests & Events","Spells","NPC","AA","Achievements","Miscellaneous","UI","Previously Updated"],"change_count":0,"word_count":1298,"summary":"Here are the patch notes from this morning's game update (from the patcher): Items *** Lowered the prices of many older Guild Hall teleport stones.

It…","content":"Here is the \"sneak peek\" version (subject to change) of Wednesday's patch notes, as found on the patcher:\n\n*** Highlights ***\n\n- The Convorteum and the First Creation:\n\nThe Convorteum is a secluded area of the Underfoot that is the home of the First Creation and the heart of the conspiracy against Brell.  It is a massive, inverted pyramidal structure sprouting from the ceiling of a huge, lava-filled chamber. Those that have been converted to the Faith of Self come to the Convorteum at times to show their loyalty to the First Creation and to show that they accept the tenets of the Faith of Self - place oneself above all others. This creates confusion in the minds of some, mixed messages that have lead to much sadness, loss and even madness.\n\nThe First Creation was the first and most loyal creation of Brell Serilis, and the very first sentient form he ever created. The First Creation chose to rebel against Brell. His tampering with the design of new races is subtle but in powerful ways, causing them to turn along paths that lead to destruction and harm to the Underfoot.\n\nThe First has done something to distract Brell, to turn his attention away from the Underfoot.  Brell's loyal servants are not usually ones to question his actions or decisions, and few of them have even tried to discover what is wrong, or even understand that anything is wrong.  But a few have, and the intrusion of upworlders gives the loyalists more options, more tools, to further their understanding of the problems in Underfoot.\n\n- Many of the rare creatures in Underfoot have been moved to consolidate their spawn locations.  Be on the lookout for new places to find them.\n\n- Most Underfoot raids have had significant tuning changes made in order to make them more surmountable.  Please see the \"Quests and Events\" section for details.\n\n- There is a new stats pane on the inventory panel that displays many stats not aggregated elsewhere.\n\n*** Items ***\n\n- The focus on the Ranger Breastplate has changed to Focused Storm of Arrows Fury which increases damage from Focused Storm of Arrows.  The amount is equivalent to the increase in damage other damage increasing breastplates get over existing foci.\n- The Underfoot berserker breastplate effects should now stack with Shared Bloodlust.\n- Changed the augment slot on the Magmatic Deflector from type 4 to type 7.\n- Added an augment slot to the Eyepiece of the Fancy Tinker.\n\n*** Tradeskills ***\n\n- Three more ranks of the Salvage Alternate Ability have been created.  Each rank offers an additional 5% of salvage ability.  You must own the Underfoot expansion in order to purchase these new ranks.\n- Added bag tokens for the new tradeskilled ornaments.\n- Added Faerune to Cosgrove Arcanist Seals and Cosgrove head seals, as long as they did not already have a worn focus.\n- Tradeskill Treasurer NPCs will always give molds to dwarves, even if they are asked for patterns.  They will no longer offer a quest for armor patterns.  Any Dwarven books turned in as patterns are unavailable for now, but are not lost.  We will continue to work on a better solution.\n- Increased the direct damage of the Tallon and Vallon tactic poisons by an additional 50%.  This portion can hit for critical damage.  Doubled the synchronous damage done by these poisons.  This portion will not hit for critical damage.  The duration of the debuff has been increased to 12 ticks.\n  \n*** Quests & Events ***\n\n- Fippy the Destroyer's power up damage and frequency has been reduced.\n- Reduced the damage on Fippy the Destroyer's Shadow Strike ability.\n- Add numbers have been reduced in all phases of Fippy the Destroyer's event, except between the first and second phases.\n- Reduced combat values on all non-unique Burynai in the Masked Invaders event.\n- All Burynai in the Masked Invaders event should be a bit more manageable in general.\n- Slightly increased the time between power-ups for the Brutale in the Masked Invaders event.\n- The Burynai Destroyer has been made slightly more difficult.\n- Reduced damage output from the bosses in Grunkuck's event.\n- Increased the interval between add spawns in Grunkuck's event.\n- Grunkuck's mate will now spawn near Grunkuck in order to help keep her safe.\n- Brath's damage when his regeneration ability is removed has been slightly reduced.\n- The Arcane Shards of Brath will not immediately split if the one they hate the most is too far away.  You now have 15 seconds to engage them before they get angry and split in two.\n- The Icy Shards of Brath will now correctly reset the Strike of Brell timer when they are hit by six cold spells.\n- Reduced the number of 'food' aphids in the Guardians of the Hive event from 15 to 10.\n- Increased the time between possible aphid wave spawns in the Guardians of the Hive event.\n- Slightly reduced the HP of each of the boss Klik'nar in the Guardians of the Hive event.\n- Increased the time before the healing mushrooms cast their spells in the Guardians of the Hive event.\n- Fixed a bug with the young queens in the Cliknar Queen event.  They had taken on too many of their progenitor's powers due to overenthusiastic genetic material.  They have returned to their proper status.\n- Corrected combat settings for the Death Beetle event.\n- The Living Legacy event rewards for 2010 and later will no longer be dependent on your server's best score.  Any event completion from this point forward will be able to grant its reward immediately.  You still will receive the best augment if your 2008 or 2009 scores were better.\n- Added some in-mission reward chests to Underfoot missions in Cooling Chamber, Brell's Rest, Underquarry, Foundation, Pellucid Grotto, Arthicrex and Shining City.  Rewards for the other missions are forthcoming in the next update.\n- The Shade of Darott will no longer immediately send you out of his mission if you accidentally hail him twice.\n\n*** Spells ***\n\n- Beastlord - Steeltrap Jaws, Lockfang Jaws, and Fellgrip Jaws have been reworked to only be limited by their own triggered effects and not other spells cast by the pet.\n- Beastlord - Friendly pet is now a contact ability that shares a stacking slot with steeltrap jaws and other similar spells.  It will fire up to 6 times per cast and has an increased chance to proc.\n- Berserker - Reflected Bloodlust will now also effect piercing weapons for the berserker.\n- Berserker - Axe of Rallos Dread effect will now increase the damage the target takes from the next 50 melee hits by 5%.\n- Berserker - Axe of Rallos and its attributable effects are now harder to resist.\n- Cleric - Aquifer Splash now has a wear off message.\n- Cleric - Blessed Aquifer should now disappear when all the charges are used.\n- Druid - Removed the recast time of Blessing of the Heartwood.\n- Druid - Sundew Blessing's description now matches its functionality.\n- Necromancer - Necrotize ally no longer does damage to the caster's pet.  The stun has been increased to 12 seconds up from 10.\n- Paladin - Protective Confession's melee guard effect is now in slot 1.\n- Paladin/Shadowknight - Withstand Blow's melee guard effect is now in slot 9.\n- Ranger - Increased the range of Jolting Frontkicks from 30 to 50.\n- Rogue - Increased the range of Assault to 50 up from 30.\n- Rogue - Assault aggro has been lowered to approximately 2/3 of the original value.\n- Rogue - Twisted Chance Discipline is now on Timer 3.\n- Shadowknight - Malarian Skin's Melee guard effect is now in slot 6.\n- Warrior - Added cast messages back on to all ranks of Field Armorer.\n- Warrior - Field Armorer can now be used regardless of what you have targeted.\n- Warrior - Field Armorer now has a 1.5 second recast and shares a timer with Champion's Aura, Commanding Voice, and Myrmidon's Aura.\n- Wizard - Self-Immolation will now trigger a DoT effect on the caster instead of a DD effect.\n- Wizard - Self-Immolation is now listed under the Direct Damage -> Fire category.\n- Wizard - Malediction of Havoc can now be found in the Direct Damage -> Fire memorization category.\n- Wizard - Malediction of Havoc now has a -50 resist modifier.\n- Wizard - Removed the cast messages from the Malediction of Havoc Reflection Spells\n- Wizard - The \"Syllable of fire/ice/magic/mastery\" effects now grant a damage bonus to the next spell of their respective types.  The mastery syllable will grant bonus damage to any spell.  They also cause damage to the caster while they remain unused.\n- Fixed a bug in spells that vary with distance that was causing incorrect values when damage was reduced to 0.\n           \n*** NPC ***\n\n- Many of the rare creatures in Underfoot have been moved to consolidate their spawn locations. Be on the lookout for new places to find them.\n- The hive in Arthicrex and the tunnels of Volska's Husk have had their population thinned out a bit.\n- Lowered the damage and HP of NPCs in Brell's Rest, the Cooling Chamber, and Pellucid Grotto slightly.\n- Cliknar in Underquarry should be less observant of what's happening to other nearby Cliknar.\n- Removed the humanoid property from Cliknar that do not stand upright.\n- Enforcer Stoutspore's Sweeping Blow ability will no longer affect or aggro NPCs.\n- Underquarry - genati ancients, iron golems, burynai tricksters and welterwizards, and cliknar adepts no longer see invisibility.\n- Arthicrex - cliknar adepts, cliknar arcanists, cliknar auxilioids, cliknar seers, and bellikos recruiters no longer see invisibility.\n- The Hive Nurse in Arthicrex should now be less resilient.\n- Corrected some text errors in Volska's Husk.\n- Changed the repop times (and rare spawn percentages) in the following zones:\n-- Fungal Forest - 17 minutes\n-- Underquarry - 22 minutes\n-- Cooling Chamber - 22 minutes\n-- Shining City - 17 minutes\n-- Arthicrex - 17 minutes outside the hive ascent, 22 minutes for everything on the ascent and up into the hive\n-- Foundation - 17 minutes\n-- Pellucid Grotto - 17 minutes\n-- Volska's Husk - 22 minutes\n\n*** Mercenaries ***\n\n- Mercenaries can now be maintained with Bayle Marks (an alternate currency).  These can be purchased on the marketplace as an alternate payment method to platinum.  Platinum is still accepted by all mercenaries, but Bayle Marks will be consumed first if they are available.\n- Fixed a bug that allowed mercenaries to continue attacking even when invulnerable.\n\n*** AA ***\n\n- Bard - The Selo's Kick ability should now be instant with no mysterious duration component.\n- Bard - Selo's Kick no longer checks against physical resist in order to land.

If you are running in \"original\" mode, you will be automatically switched back to \"most memory\" mode.  The eventual goal is to remove the need for \"original' mode. You can still switch it back to \"original\" if you encounter problems (please post about any issues you have).  NOTE:  This has nothing to do with \"West bug\" like symptoms in Field of Scale, etc.  That's a totally separate issue.  This may address the problems reported with corrupted textures when the memory optimized modes were introduced.\n- Fixed a problem with twinheal when triggered from an item.  It now does the twin-heal and consumes the twinheal charge.  Previously the charge was consumed but no twinheal occurred.\n- Fixed a rare zone crash associated with achievement links.\n- Made some hardware changes to address the spell and ability timer issue some zones on Povar were experiencing.\n\n*** UI ***\n\n- Added a new stats pane on the inventory panel that displays many stats not aggregated elsewhere.\n- Fixed several issues with the extended target window having phantom empty entries during raids.\n\n- Changed -\n\n- EQUI_Animations.xml\n- EQUI_Inventory.xml\n- EQUI_MercenaryInfoWnd.xml\n- EQUI_MercenaryMerchantWnd.xml\n\n*** Previously Updated ***\n\n- Envoy Therma now drops the correct tier of armor pieces.\n- Immature Sporali will now correctly despawn if their creator dies.\n- Corrected an issue with the Guardians of the Hive reset.\n- Added spell runes to the chests in the Underfoot Raids in place of some of the purity augments.\n- Reduced the difficulty of the undead and rares in Cooling Chamber.\n- A Darkhollow Sporkin in Arthicrex only needs one mushroom. He will no longer reward you for more.\n\n\n- The EverQuest Team","content_hash":"2a351be34bd33857022050a72161f41e67026cc7bb7cf6fa58890be30994e9fd","source_files":["patches-2010-1.txt","patches_1999-2010_combined.txt"],"source_titles":["March 10, 2010"],"source_url":null,"source_urls":[],"occurrence_count":2,"source_occurrences":[{"occurrence_id":"bfbfcf0f4a39c702c0769ca21118d36af7290a885c2287d7028ecfaf7e64ff15","filename":"patches_1999-2010_combined.txt","adapter":"text","source_offset":1237778,"item_index":null,"heading":"March 10, 2010","source_url":null,"source_url_raw":null,"published":null,"source_kind":"text","excerpt":false,"year_inferred":false},{"occurrence_id":"706b9fd2595dc342e0db85182e1e40e4bc1c8df7f1926921b474593c2bc683c5","filename":"patches-2010-1.txt","adapter":"text","source_offset":12177,"item_index":null,"heading":"March 10, 2010","source_url":null,"source_url_raw":null,"published":null,"source_kind":"text","excerpt":false,"year_inferred":false}],"year_inferred":false,"sequence":1,"slug":"2010-03-10-1","id":"2010-03-10-1"},{"patch_date":"2010-02-10","effective_date":"2010-02-10","display_date":"February 10, 2010","title":"February 10, 2010","year":2010,"month":2,"kind":"live","era":"EverQuest Live","expansion":"Underfoot","expansion_code":"underfoot","categories":[{"slug":"bug-fixes","label":"Bug Fixes"},{"slug":"classes","label":"Classes"},{"slug":"spells-aa","label":"Spells & AA"},{"slug":"items","label":"Items"},{"slug":"zones-npcs","label":"Zones & NPCs"},{"slug":"quests-events","label":"Quests & Events"},{"slug":"tradeskills","label":"Tradeskills"},{"slug":"ui","label":"UI"},{"slug":"audio-graphics","label":"Audio & Graphics"},{"slug":"expansions","label":"Expansions"}],"sections":["Highlights","Items","Tradeskills","Quests & Events","Spells","NPC","AA","Achievements","Miscellaneous","UI","Previously Updated"],"change_count":70,"word_count":1151,"summary":"From the patcher, here are the patch notes from this morning: Highlights *** New items may be discovered in Foundation, Underquarry, and Arthicrex.

This is the vast magma ball that floats in the center of a hollow sphere that stretches across a great distance. Standing on any open interior portion of the sphere, adventurers can look up to see the massive, blazing ball of living lava. The sphere is large enough that while individual areas may have a \"bowl\" shape it is very minor. Lava flows into and out of the Heart of the World from volcanoes, lava tubes and crevasses all around the hollow sphere, like blood into and out of a heart.\n\nThe Plane of Underfoot is ruled by a curious being known as Brell Serilis, the Duke of Below. It consists of an elaborate system of caves and tunnels and is inhabited by all sorts of creatures, both good and evil, that normally dwell underground.\n\nIn his temple at the top of the tallest volcano, Brell spends his days making new races. Most he destroys, returning them to their primal clay. Some he makes into his servants. Recently things have changed. Conflict exists in the Underfoot. There are those who continue to worship Brell Serilis and those who feel abandoned by him.  Brell's presence is no longer felt in the plane, and in his absence much of the machinery that serves Norrath and other worlds is breaking down.\n\nIt is into this troubled realm that adventurers can now travel.\n\n- New Content: New areas for adventurers to explore including Brell's Rest, Pellucid Grotto, The Underquarry, Brell's Arena, The Foundation, The Cooling Chamber, Arthicrex, Lichen Creep, Kernagir the Shining City, Fungal Forest, Volska's Husk, and Brell's Temple. Travel to the Underfoot solo, with a group, or in raids to complete new quests, tasks, and events to acquire new items, spells, tradeskill recipes, and abilities.\n\n- Extended Target Window: Track friends and foes with greater accuracy. The target window now lets you assign people or group roles to specific locations on the window for easy re-targeting.  You can track main tank, raid tanks, main target, main assist, puller, etc., or just put a specific player or NPC in the window.\n\n- New Achievement System: Display and manage your progress through the world of Norrath. The achievement system allows players to track various categories of their advancement such as levels, Alternate Advancements, quest completions, and other progression tracking events. At the launch of Underfoot, players can track their General, Tradeskill and Underfoot progression Achievements. \n\n    Open displays achievements you haven't completed yet.\n    Complete lets you toggle the display of achievements you have already completed.\n    Locked toggles the achievements you aren't quite ready to work on just yet. As an example, if you are level 30, you should be focusing on obtaining level 40 instead of level 50.  In some cases, like quest lines, you may be able to complete locked achievements. This helps direct the players to content they should be focused on for their level and progression stage.\n\n- Master Tradeskilling: Create powerful new weapons, armor, food and drink items, poisons and more.\n\n\n*** Highlights ***\n\n- EverQuest Underfoot is now open to everyone who has purchased it!  We hope those of you who qualified enjoyed the preview.\n\n- Many existing achievements have been reevaluated, possibly causing a change in your total number of achievements.  Please see the description for your achievements as well as the list of changes below for details.\n\n- There have been many changes to spells and AAs.  Please see their sections below for details.\n\n\n*** Items ***\n\n- Corrected an issue with the Sympathetic Alleviation line of spell procs that was preventing them from restoring mana to the caster.\n- The Turn-In Gems for Underfoot spells are now stackable and display the level and class of the spell they will grant.\n- Some of the items from Brell's Arena sold for gold tokens can no longer be traded on the Firiona Vie server.\n- Gem of Life, Gem of Structure, Gem of Pain, Gem of Resilience, and the Gem of Destruction should no longer be Drakkin equippable or share a lore group.\n- Corrected the AC and summon spell on the Many-Pocketed Pouch.\n- Placed the proper cast proc of Sympathetic Alleviation VII on Transcendent Fungus.\n- All Celestrium Deathwatch armor is now wearable by Drakkin.\n    \n\n*** Tradeskills ***\n\n- Cosgrove Powder should now be dropping in expansion zones.\n- Altered the recipe for Sothgar's Flame Rk.

They should now work with Seeds of Destruction armor.\n\n*** Spells ***\n\n- A new Monk discipline has been implemented named Calanin's Synergy.\n- Fixed a bug that would cause some disciplines to lock out certain AAs.

If you submit a /bug with type Mercenaries or use /merclog, the next 20 seconds of actions and decisions made by your mercenary will be logged. Please use /bug to describe what you perceive the problem is, so we can determine what we're looking at with the log.\n- Changed PvP calculations so that mercenaries being hit from PCs or other mercenaries take full damage with no mitigation, avoidance or resist checks. They also no longer resist stuns from PCs or other mercenaries.\n- Fixed a bug that was causing corpses to poof with no experience if a mercenary whose owner was dead in hover mode was the first on the hate list (it didn't necessarily have to do the most damage).\n\n*** Miscellaneous ***\n\n- Enabled the environmental sound toggle on ambient sounds in the following zones: Abysmal Sea, Ashengate, Direwind, Dreadspire (and Demi-Plane of Blood), Ikkinz, Lavastorm Mountains, Kod'Taz, Tipt, and Vxed. The Master still commands his orchestra, however.\n- The gnomes have made an adjustment to their cannons in Dragonscale Hills that should hopefully make them a bit more reliable.\n- Possible fix for a zone crash related to NPCs with linked aggro in the Discord Tower raids.\n- Characters on mounts can now use the Dragonscale Hills cannon.\n- Twincast will no longer fire on detrimental spells used on another player (PvP).\n- Players will no longer receive diagnostic messages about loading database strings when first logging in.\n- Fixed a bug with experience gained while in a group with a shrouded member. Under certain conditions, experience could be either way too high for the shrouded player, or way too low for the unshrouded player.\n- When inviting another player to a raid, if the player rejects your invitation, you will now receive a message stating that your invitation was rejected.\n- Added a popup confirmation dialog (that can be switched off in the options menu) when you are invited to a raid.\n- If auto stand is active, drinking a potion will now make you stand.\n- Increased the sizes settable by the /chatfontsize command up to size 10 to make reading easier on high resolution displays.\n- Fixed a bug that left pets in the world when you kicked yourself off when logging in.\n- Your LFG flag will no longer drop when you change your group role with a mercenary in the group.\n- Spell recast timers should now be fixed in most cases.

This is helpful for those that might frequently play from two locations. They can set their clients to automatically accept their kick request (without this option set, your client will default to denying the request).\n\n*** UI ***\n\n- Added a toggle to turn off the new left click camera functionality.\n- Fixed a bug that caused potions to not grey out when they had a recast timer under certain circumstances.\n- Fixed an issue with the left-button getting stuck when in 3rd person camera mode.

The frosty bonus experience will remain until the end of Frostfell, Tuesday January 6, 2009. Enjoy the holidays!\nFan Faire Workshop Quests: At the 2008 SOE Fan Faire in Las Vegas, several EverQuest players got a chance to participate in a Quest Workshop where members of the EQ Development team walked them through the quest creation process. The following quests have been implemented this update:\nGyrospire Relocator: Researcher Stripcog has unearthed a device that will allow a being to teleport to the top of each of the gyrospires. Unfortunately, he needs the assistance of others to help get the device working again. This quest was implemented with the assistance of Shadowkiller of Stromm, Ledau of Prexus, and Brasse, Cheremoya, Palarran, Starrla, Xapp, Sumdaye and Numayre from The Tribunal.\nKicking Tail: Scribe Choone’s party, attempting to help Choone research a story for Gimblefixx, was ambushed and nearly wiped out, save Scribe Choone himself. Choone wants the players to thin out the minotaur warriors enough for his mission to continue, and especially to kill the big mean taskmaster known as Higoren. See Scribe Choone in Dragonscale Hills to find out more. This quest was implemented with the assistance of Hellbent of Firiona Vie, Nizgog, Aroraskie, Indico, and Rigss of Erollisi Marr, and Hulkling of The Tribunal.\nImproved linkdead Recovery: We've decreased the amount of time linkdead players will have to wait to log back in because of a stuck character.\nImproved camera control: We added the ability to rotate the 3rd person camera (the one you get when you use the mousewheel) using the left mouse button. This allows you to move the camera around your character without rotating the character.  This is very similar to the way 3rd person cameras work in many other games.\nHot Zone Tasks: In addition to reminding players about the current Hot Zones, Franklin Teek in Plane of Knowledge now offers tasks for the most recent Hot Zones.\nTSS Flag Requirements Removed: Removed the flag requirements for The Serpent Spine (TSS) expansion raids to enter the raid zones as long as you are level 74 or higher. The person requesting the raids will still be required to have the proper flags to request the raid.\nSoF Crystal Drops Increased: Increased the number of Oil Stained Crystals that are dropped at the conclusion of the final event in Meldrath’s Mansion from six to twelve. \nLesson of the Devoted Improved: The Veteran AA Lesson of the Devoted will no longer be removed by death.\nBard Type 3 Augments: Added Bard type 3 augments to SoF and SoD faction vendors.\nWeapon Ratio Changes: Some of the Seeds of Destruction (SoD) group weapons had their ratios further tweaked. This is a completion of some previous changes that didn’t quite make last Update.\nNew Icons for the Original Epics: With the newly discovered old set of icons, we gave the original epic 1.0s their intended art (for the original 1.0 epics that had one made).\nPhysical Resist Changes:  Made tuning adjustments (downward) on many NPCs that had higher-than-expected resistances to Physical Attacks (Such as the Monk Eye Gouge attack). These attacks should be much more reliable now.\n*** Items ***\n\nAdded Bard type 3 augments to SoF and SoD faction vendors.\nSome of the SoD group weapons had their ratios further tweaked. This is a completion of some previous changes that didn’t quite make last Update.\nWith the newly discovered old set of icons, we gave the original epic 1.0s their intended art (for the original 1.0 epics that had one made).\nThe Master Artisan Satchel should no longer display haste effect information when a haste item is placed inside it.\n*** Spells ***\n\nMade more tradeskill-created spells tradable on Firiona Vie.\nSwapped the Earthen Embrace and Serpent Vines spells back to their proper items.\nThe effect from the Aura of Rodcet will now pulse every 6 seconds instead of being a persistent effect, allowing its effect to stack with Lich and Clarity lines.\nThe mana boost from the Aura of Rodcet now mimics the effect of Cantata / Chorus of Rodcet.\nPuratus, Fulkitcher Weave, and Cantata of Courage spells should now work properly.\nBards will no longer have their mana drained by the spell Mana Ignite, though they should still take damage from the spell.\n*** NPCs ***\n\nAdded some of the special resistances, like mez and stun, on the rare/named NPCs in Korafax, Field of Scale and Old Bloodfield.\nFixed an issue that was causing some mobs in Old Bloodfield to despawn unexpectedly.\nPhysical Resist Changes: Made tuning adjustments (downward) on many NPCs that had higher-than-expected resistances to Physical Attacks (Such as the Monk Eye Gouge attack). These attacks should be much more reliable now.\nRathework Guardians are now a good deal faster than they were before.\n*** Quests ***\n\nImplemented the Fan Faire quest \"Kicking Tail.\" See Scribe Choone in Dragonscale Hills to find out more.\nThe Fan Faire quest Gyrospire Relocation has been implemented. Find Researcher Stripcog in Mechanotus for more information.\nIn addition to reminding players about the current Hot Zones, Franklin Teek in Plane of Knowledge is pleased to once again offer tasks that take place in these zones.\nThe Old Bloodfields quest called \"Deliver the Message\" is now a shared task. We also fixed issues that could cause it to fail to update.\nSlowed down the respawn rate in the Permafrost Frostfell mission.\n*** Raids ***\n\nIncreased the number of Oil Stained Crystals that are dropped at the conclusion of the final event in Meldrath’s Mansion from six to twelve. \nRemoved the flag requirements for TSS raids to enter the raid zones as long as you are level 74 or higher. The person requesting the raids will still be required to have the proper flags to request the raid.\nThe Stasis room raid reset should no longer get stuck in a loop.\nThe Kaesora raid will now reset after 15 minutes or if all council members are idle.\nThe Ritualists in the second phase of the Kithicor raid will no longer damage the storyline NPCs while they are idle.  It should still be necessary to engage the correct group of ritualists shortly after the message: “A dark energy begins to build to the *direction* of the combatants.”  However, it should no longer be necessary to engage all of them simultaneously.\nThe area near the entrance doorway will no longer be a safe spot during the Mindblight raid.\n*** AA ***\n\nThe Veteran AA Lesson of the Devoted will no longer be removed by death.\nThe Enchanter AA Self Stasis should be more reliable at removing players from combat as they enter stasis.\n*** Mercenaries ***\n\nAdded a new /merclog command that logs information for the player's mercenary (if they have one) to MercenaryAILog.txt. This command can only be executed once per minute. Also, added a new \"mercenaries\" bug type to the /bug window. Any bugs submitted with this type also generates the MercenaryAILog.txt file (if the player owns a merc and the merc is not dead/suspended).\nUnshrouding should no longer require an upgrade cost in cases where you have not gained a level.\nFixed an issue that caused a healer mercenary not to heal you if you temporarily interrupted the incoming damage (say, with weapon shield). \n*** Miscellaneous ***\n\nImproved linkdead recovery: We've decreased the amount of time linkdead players will have to wait to log back in because of a stuck character.\nIf you attempt to login to the world when that account is already logged in, you will now be prompted as to whether you wish to kick off the currently logged in player.   The logged in player (if it is truly logged in and not link dead) will be prompted whether they wish to allow themselves to be kicked off.\nWhen going linkdead in combat, a 30 second delay is enforced before the kick is executed.\nWhen going linkdead while out of combat a 5 second delay is enforced before the kick is executed.\nImproved camera control: We added the ability to rotate the 3rd person camera (the one you get when you use the mousewheel) using the left mouse button. This allows you to move the camera around your character without rotating the character.  This is very similar to the way 3rd person cameras work in many other games.\nCorrected an issue that prevented further purchases after opening a Consigned Armor Bundle in the marketplace.\nCorrected an error message if an account does not have a credit card on file for the marketplace.\nModifications have been made to messaging in order to remove the redundancy of messages popping up for funding the wallet.\n*** UI ***\n\nBuff icons from effects that are not removed by death should no longer disappear after receiving a resurrection.\nFixed an issue preventing targeting players or entities by clicking on their HP gauges.\nChanging the volume in the in-game music player should now work correctly again.\n \n\n- Changed -\n\nEQUI_Animations.xml\nEQUI_GroupWindow.xml\nEQUI_MusicPlayerWnd.xml\nEQUI_PlayerWindow.xml\nEQUI_TargetOfTargetWindow.xml\n\n~ The EverQuest Team","content_hash":"966e3b207137e8474bf6892a77ef2c31b29ee15b63ac60b2c14f2f4af0414d9e","source_files":["patches-2008-2.txt","patches_1999-2010_combined.txt"],"source_titles":["December 23, 2008"],"source_url":null,"source_urls":[],"occurrence_count":2,"source_occurrences":[{"occurrence_id":"33a87538827957faf32229f405a69395ecfc497836adfdfab26ecb5fc6f52a6a","filename":"patches_1999-2010_combined.txt","adapter":"text","source_offset":1118276,"item_index":null,"heading":"December 23, 2008","source_url":null,"source_url_raw":null,"published":null,"source_kind":"text","excerpt":false,"year_inferred":false},{"occurrence_id":"6c28e9ffc8504aba97d8406f1d188c55c3d4174e47b280b2ca88e188d7e9d786","filename":"patches-2008-2.txt","adapter":"text","source_offset":76751,"item_index":null,"heading":"December 23, 2008","source_url":null,"source_url_raw":null,"published":null,"source_kind":"text","excerpt":false,"year_inferred":false}],"year_inferred":false,"sequence":1,"slug":"2008-12-23-1","id":"2008-12-23-1"},{"patch_date":"2008-09-03","effective_date":"2008-09-03","display_date":"September 3, 2008","title":"September 3, 2008","year":2008,"month":9,"kind":"live","era":"EverQuest Live","expansion":"Secrets of Faydwer","expansion_code":"secrets-of-faydwer","categories":[{"slug":"spells-aa","label":"Spells & AA"},{"slug":"items","label":"Items"},{"slug":"zones-npcs","label":"Zones & NPCs"},{"slug":"quests-events","label":"Quests & Events"},{"slug":"ui","label":"UI"},{"slug":"servers","label":"Servers"},{"slug":"audio-graphics","label":"Audio & Graphics"}],"sections":["Highlights","Features at Launch in EverQuest include","Items","Spells","NPC","Quest & Events","Miscellaneous","UI","The /voicechat command offers the following options"],"change_count":19,"word_count":1150,"summary":"Highlights *** Station Voice: Station Voice is a voice chat service powered by Vivox and included with certain SOE game subscriptions.

Station Voice allows players to talk person-to-person in-game at no additional cost. Players can go far beyond basic real-time chat with the usual headset and microphone setup that is commonly used today, and will be able to access a suite of voice communication tools.\n\nUpcoming features are scheduled to include voice mail, the ability to receive external calls, and voice fonts to synthesize player voices into in-game character voices. Station Voice will be hosted and managed on the Vivox Network. Game software and headsets sold separately. Station Voice is also present in EverQuest II and Star Wars Galaxies.\n\nFeatures at Launch in EverQuest include:\n\n-- Talk person-to-person in game with any microphone and headset combo. \n-- Chat with your party, guild or any other group in game. \n-- Create automatic channels for guilds, raids and groups. \n-- Play and communicate without worry of a significant increase in game lag. \n-- Manage group/user participation with moderator controls. \n-- Individually mute and set volume per user Create automatic channels for guilds, raids and groups. \n-- Set up easily without the need for separate software, accounts or registration.\n\n(For details on Station Voice see below under the UI changes.)\n\n- Group Merge Ability: Looking to fill the last few spaces of your group? Groups now have the ability to merge with each other without disbanding from their own group!\n\nWith this new feature, the group leader of one group can invite the group leader of another group to join his/her group. If the invitation is accepted, the two groups will merge together to form one group.\n\nThis change merely allows groups to merge without having to make everyone drop out of their current group. All other group functionality should work as it did in the past. It does not increase the six person group maximum for groups.\n\n- Weightless Coinage: Coinage no longer adds to the weight of player characters. Adventurers all across Norrath rejoice... especially monks!\n\n\n*** Items ***\n\n- The spirit of Dain Frostreaver will be very angry if the Ancient Frostreaver or Ancient Longhandled Frostreaver are used by anyone else.\n- The Skullstepper should be usable by any race that includes the classes on it. Really.\n\n*** Spells ***\n\n- Tears of Qandieal returns to its changed state. It now destroys the target's mana and inflicts damage based on the mana destroyed.\n\n\n*** NPC ***\n\n- A recast timer has been placed on the NPC version of Lay on Hands. The player version of this spell is not affected by this change.\n\n\n*** Quest & Events ***\n\n- The Demi-Plane version of Mayong's swipe attack will now properly ignore the top player of his hatelist.\n- The lockout from Bimbalicus the Soulbleeder's event will be 4.5 days from now on.\n\n\n*** Miscellaneous ***\n\n- Guild Banners will again be sustainable with only one guild member in the zone.\n- Weightless Coinage: Coinage no longer adds to the weight of player characters.

This feature will be turned off by default.\n\nDevices: Once Voice Chat is enabled EverQuest will attempt to connect to the correct hardware.\n\nPush-to-talk key: Initially the voice chat system uses Ctrl+Tab as the push-to-talk key. This can be reconfigured to any available key from the Options window, Keys tab.\n\nOutput volume: Master volume for all incoming Voice Chat traffic. This setting is independent of music and sound effect volume settings. Setting this to high results in distortion of incoming speech.\n\nInput volume: The relative sensitivity of your microphone. Turning it up means your microphone picks up quieter sounds. Setting this to high results in distortion of your outgoing speech. The sound indicator gives an estimate of the distortion. Red signifies high distortion, yellow medium distortion and green low distortion.\n\nTesting your setup with Echo channel: The echo channel allows you to get an idea of your settings by broadcasting what you say back to you after a short delay. \n\n- The Voice Bar -\nOnce Voice Chat is enabled and has successfully connected the Voice Bar will automatically be shown. The Voice Bar by default will remain active as long as voice chat is enabled. A hot key may be mapped to open and close the Voice Bar.\n\nThe Voice Bar offers a push to talk button, a list of users of the current channel, what channels are available, a link to Options, and indication of who is currently talking.\n\nThe Talk button is simply a push-to-talk button that is mouse activated instead of keypress activated. \nThe Voice Users button presents a list of the users of the current channel. Clicking on the speaker by any user allows you to adjust the volume of that player relative to your master volume. A particularly loud player can be turned down relative to other voice chat traffic Moderators for a channel are given additional options of muting a player for the entire channel, banning a player from the channel and kicking a player from the channel.\n\nThe channel button pulls down a menu of channels available to you. The currently selected one is shown in green if connected. Red if the connection has failed. Unselected but available channels are shown in white. \n\nVoice chat has been integrated into some other interfaces in the game. Speaker icons show up for players that have voice chat active. The speaker icons behave as they do in the Voice Users window, giving access to Voice Chat options specific to that player.\n\nThere is currently an issue with leaving a private channel making you unable to invite someone to a new private channel. We are working on resolving this issue, but until then, logging out and back in should clear your channel status.\n\n- Using the /voicechat Command -\nThe /voicechat command offers the following options:\n\n-- on: activate voice chat (ex. /voicechat on) \n-- off: deactivate voice chat \n-- Moderator Controls: \n-Mute <player> - mutes a player for everyone in the current channel\n-Unmute <player>- unmutes a player for everyone in the current channel\n-Kick <player>- kicks a player form the current channel\n-Ban <player> - bans a player from the current channel and kicks them if they are present\n-Unban <player> - unbans a player from current channel\n\n\n- New -\n\nEQUI_VoiceActionBarWnd.xml\nEQUI_VoiceNoticeWnd.xml\nEQUI_TopLevelScreens.xml\nVChat.tga\n\n- Changed -\n\nEQUI.xml\nEQUI_Animations.xml\nEQUI_FriendsWnd.xml\nEQUI_GroupWindow.xml\nEQUI_GuildManagementWnd.xml\nEQUI_OptionsWindow.xml\nEQUI_PlayerWindow.xml\nEQUI_RaidWindow.xml\nSIDL.xml\n\n\n- The EverQuest Team","content_hash":"54b11bc89f66338ebd56db7cc7531898a4b5604bbbb969d7f440f2f894030c28","source_files":["patches-2008-2.txt","patches_1999-2008_combined.md","patches_1999-2010_combined.txt"],"source_titles":["September 3, 2008"],"source_url":null,"source_urls":[],"occurrence_count":3,"source_occurrences":[{"occurrence_id":"be1a1db450f15f70d539c765c4c89e8f0cb92d8f5064aaeb8afe4f4f9429dd3a","filename":"patches_1999-2008_combined.md","adapter":"markdown","source_offset":1034519,"item_index":null,"heading":"September 3, 2008","source_url":null,"source_url_raw":null,"published":null,"source_kind":"markdown","excerpt":false,"year_inferred":false},{"occurrence_id":"ec5cf8aa90c3c1cc785e8153cf6664adc5fdefb070951767ebd7d35c3152f073","filename":"patches_1999-2010_combined.txt","adapter":"text","source_offset":1059494,"item_index":null,"heading":"September 3, 2008","source_url":null,"source_url_raw":null,"published":null,"source_kind":"text","excerpt":false,"year_inferred":false},{"occurrence_id":"8e6c29676f8128e3ea8c0a74fd14756f238ceed8e9cdfd467f0657e122337f64","filename":"patches-2008-2.txt","adapter":"text","source_offset":17969,"item_index":null,"heading":"September 3, 2008","source_url":null,"source_url_raw":null,"published":null,"source_kind":"text","excerpt":false,"year_inferred":false}],"year_inferred":false,"sequence":1,"slug":"2008-09-03-1","id":"2008-09-03-1"},{"patch_date":"2008-02-06","effective_date":"2008-02-06","display_date":"February 6, 2008","title":"February 6, 2008","year":2008,"month":2,"kind":"live","era":"EverQuest Live","expansion":"Secrets of Faydwer","expansion_code":"secrets-of-faydwer","categories":[{"slug":"bug-fixes","label":"Bug Fixes"},{"slug":"classes","label":"Classes"},{"slug":"spells-aa","label":"Spells & AA"},{"slug":"items","label":"Items"},{"slug":"zones-npcs","label":"Zones & NPCs"},{"slug":"quests-events","label":"Quests & Events"},{"slug":"tradeskills","label":"Tradeskills"},{"slug":"servers","label":"Servers"},{"slug":"audio-graphics","label":"Audio & Graphics"}],"sections":["Highlights","Items","Spells","Quests & Events","NPC","Tasks","AA","Zones","Previously Updated"],"change_count":30,"word_count":647,"summary":"Highlights *** We've made improvements to increase the stability of the servers.

But they become resistant to charm much younger these days.\n- A humongous ice golem named Avalanche has been spotted in Icefall, terrorizing the Wraithguard.\n\n*** NPC ***\n\n- The casino now gives out the new stackable illusion potions.

Tailoring will replace Etched Scale Stock Whip with Rough Leather Gorget Template, Concussive Bola with Pristine Leather Tunic Template, and Robe of Haunted Dreams with Fine Silk Robe Template. Tinkering will also replace the Steam-Powered Piston with a Collapsed Gnomish Recharge Kit.\n\n*** AA ***\n\n- Added additional ranks to Elemental Fury (Magician) and Quickening of Death (Necromancer) AA lines.\n\n*** Zones ***\n\n- Elevator music now plays in the Mansion elevators.

Finally the level 75 cultural drops (not template drops) have had their drop rate reduced as they were coming into the world too quickly.  We will watch it and readjust it as necessary, either direction as necessary.\n- Fixed Seduction of Saryrn, Pact of Hate, Dark Possession, Flight of Eagles, Illusion: Froglok and Night's Dark Terror systematic spell research spells to more closely match the systematic spell research system.\n\n\n*** AA ***\n\n- Changed the timer of the AA Companion's Relocation to avoid conflicts with other abilities.\n- Blast of Anger will no longer be resistable.\n- The innate attack bonus that Rangers get from level 55 onward has been converted into an AA that will be automatically available for zero cost each level starting at level 55. You will not need to purchase this AA and it will contain the same attack increase that was previously given out innately.  The attack boost that was added to ranger spells previously has been reverted.\n\n\n*** Zones ***\n\n- Rares will not be quite so \"frequent\" within the Guardian zone.\n- Venturing into the areas directly above Vergalid's lair will no longer eject you back to the zone-in of Vergalid Mines.\n- The Guardian instance will now last as long as the task that opens it.\n- Moved the \"safe point\" in Meldrath's Mansion a little closer to the front door to make it a little safer.\n- Tuned down the rare NPCs in Mechanotus.  This is a first pass, and other changes to the difficulty of these and other such NPCs may happen in the near future.\n- Corrected an issue with the final raid in Solteris that prevented the event from resetting properly.\n- The Deepest Guk LDoN raid adventures can once again be accessed through the fallen log in Innothule.\n- Reaver Lebanezer will now properly assign the raid task to kill the Soulbleeder.\n- Corrected an issue with spell drops in the Guardian zone. Spells should now drop at the appropriate rate in this zone.\n\n\n*** Miscellaneous ***\n\n- Double fogging has been eliminated and now all in game objects should fog correctly.\n- Dragon Heritage/Tattoos should no longer randomly change when using 'face' function in the inventory window.\n- Fixed a few graphic issues with removing an illusion buff.\n- Ranged attacks should no longer register incorrectly.\n- Fixed a couple of text filtering issues.  NPC death text should now appear in the Other filter. Other NPC say messages now appear in Say filter. Cast on Other messages should now filter correctly.\n- Fixed a few zone and server stability issues.\n- Fixed collision issues that caused problems for shorter characters and characters on mounts.\n\n\n\n- The EverQuest Team","content_hash":"b0fbfcea0f61a53651851f5bdea2b55b6b7eea9229410bda6692e6f58ea7249f","source_files":["patches-2007-2.txt","patches_1999-2008_combined.md","patches_1999-2010_combined.txt"],"source_titles":["December 5, 2007"],"source_url":null,"source_urls":[],"occurrence_count":3,"source_occurrences":[{"occurrence_id":"89de4a0256922407b75a9c914d01569c9d4b93bf90a1eaa0916f0f68447b55b4","filename":"patches_1999-2008_combined.md","adapter":"markdown","source_offset":960352,"item_index":null,"heading":"December 5, 2007","source_url":null,"source_url_raw":null,"published":null,"source_kind":"markdown","excerpt":false,"year_inferred":false},{"occurrence_id":"572f67db0d62b56a2490922cb5d1fbf9d281b1d8c92c202229137442e89aa2e8","filename":"patches_1999-2010_combined.txt","adapter":"text","source_offset":983941,"item_index":null,"heading":"December 5, 2007","source_url":null,"source_url_raw":null,"published":null,"source_kind":"text","excerpt":false,"year_inferred":false},{"occurrence_id":"2b2e538d27759ef1121e6e25c66c19868896b9b04210aff187870bc7d745ce00","filename":"patches-2007-2.txt","adapter":"text","source_offset":42872,"item_index":null,"heading":"December 5, 2007","source_url":null,"source_url_raw":null,"published":null,"source_kind":"text","excerpt":false,"year_inferred":false}],"year_inferred":false,"sequence":1,"slug":"2007-12-05-1","id":"2007-12-05-1"},{"patch_date":"2007-11-20","effective_date":"2007-11-20","display_date":"November 20, 2007","title":"November 20, 2007","year":2007,"month":11,"kind":"live","era":"EverQuest Live","expansion":"Secrets of Faydwer","expansion_code":"secrets-of-faydwer","categories":[{"slug":"bug-fixes","label":"Bug Fixes"},{"slug":"spells-aa","label":"Spells & AA"},{"slug":"items","label":"Items"},{"slug":"zones-npcs","label":"Zones & NPCs"},{"slug":"quests-events","label":"Quests & Events"},{"slug":"tradeskills","label":"Tradeskills"},{"slug":"ui","label":"UI"},{"slug":"audio-graphics","label":"Audio & Graphics"},{"slug":"expansions","label":"Expansions"}],"sections":["Items","Quests & Events","Spells","NPC","Tradeskills","Abilities","Miscellaneous"],"change_count":22,"word_count":378,"summary":"Items *** Fixed the missing tribute on drakkin cultural armor.

Please note that this may or may not be modified before the servers officially open back up on Launch Day.\n*** Secrets of Faydwer ***\n\nWelcome to EverQuest Secrets of Faydwer, the 14th expansion for EverQuest!\n\nThe clockwork armies of the evil gnomish necromancer Meldrath the Malignant gather in the Steamfont Mountains, awaiting his order to invade the kingdom of Ak'Anon. The launch of his great air fortress Mechanotus has torn open the earth, exposing new paths into unexplored regions of the ancient continent of Faydwer.\n\nRediscover Faydwer as you adventure in the nearby Loping Plains, home to the soul eating wereorcs of Bloodmoon Keep. Strive to end the torment of humans and elves cursed for centuries in the Hills of Shade. All the while, an ancient menace stirs east of the Dragonscale Hills, where the prismatic dragon Kerafyrm the Awakened plans his revenge.\n\n- Level Cap Increase: Players can now achieve level 80. New high level item sets, new Alternate Advancement ability lines, and new spells will come with this increase, including a new AA that grants a new spell slot.\n\n- Heroic Items: One aspect of player power is based on the seven physical and mental attributes of their characters: Agility, Charisma, Dexterity, Intelligence, Stamina, Strength, and Wisdom.  For player characters that have reached the maximums for these attributes, equipping normal items with increased attributes offers no benefit.  Heroic Items feature particular stats that allow players to go beyond those maximums.  For each point in a heroic stat, the player gains one point in the statistic and the maximum on that statistic is increased by one point.  In addition, heroic stats offer benefits beyond the normal statistics.\n- Heroic Intelligence: Increases mana pool, mana regen, and the maximum amount of mana regen a character can have.\n- Heroic Strength: Increases endurance pool, endurance regen, and the maximum amount of endurance regen a character can have.  Also increases damage done by melee attacks and improves the bonus granted to armor class while using a shield.\n- Heroic Stamina: Increases hit point pool, hit point regen, and the maximum amount of hit point regen a character can have.  Also increases endurance pool, endurance regen, and the maximum amount of endurance regen a character can have.\n- Heroic Agility: Increases endurance pool, endurance regen, and the maximum amount of  endurance regen a character can have.  Also increases the chance to dodge an attack, grants a bonus to defense skill, and reduces falling damage.\n- Heroic Dexterity: Increases endurance pool, endurance regen, and the maximum amount of endurance regen a character can have.  Also increases damage done by ranged attacks, improves chance to successfully assassinate or headshot, and improves the chance to riposte, block, and parry incoming attacks.\n- Heroic Charisma: Improves reaction rolls with some NPCs and increases the amount of faction you gain or lose when faction is adjusted.\n\n- New Content: There are 15 new realms for adventurers to explore including Meldrath's maniacal Fortress Mechanotus, the Dragonscale Hills, the Loping Plains, and Kerafyrm's Lair: Crystallos. Travel through Faydwer solo or with groups to complete new quests, tasks, events, and raids and to acquire new items, spells, tradeskill recipes, abilities, and more.\n\n\n*** Live Highlights ***\n\n- Book of Legends: The Book of Legends, a tome that holds the record of those who have come together to celebrate EverQuest at the SOE Fan Faires, now lives in the library within Plane of Knowledge.\n\n- New Loot All Options: \"Loot All\" functionality has been added to corpses. This includes a \"Loot All\" button on the loot window and the ability to shift-right-click loot a corpse.\n\n- AC Mitigation Improvements: We modified the AC Caps and over-cap returns for mitigation for all classes to bring them more in line with their intended ability to mitigate damage. Warriors, Paladins, Shadowknights, Clerics, and Monks received a minor increase in their mitigation ability. Rangers, Bards, Rogues, Shaman, Beastlords, and Berserkers received a moderate increase in their mitigation ability. Druids, Necromancers, Wizards, Enchanters, and Magicians received a considerable increase in their mitigation ability.\n\n- Fog Rendering System Enhancements: An entirely new fog rendering system has been implemented in the EverQuest graphics engine. This new system is used in all zones that currently have fog.\n\n- Multi-core CPU Support: If you have a Multi-core CPU you no longer have to manually set their processor affinity! EverQuest will automatically assign itself to an available core. If you run multiple copies of the client, each new copy running will assign itself to the next available core. Those interested in customizing which core or cores EverQuest clients run on, check the forums.\n\n\n*** Recently Reported Issues ***\n\nWhile some of the other issues that were resolved in this update were reported via bug reports, here are a few we'd like to highlight.\n\nIssue: West Display Bug\nSummary: When you face west the video geometry disappears except the UI and the Sky. When you face another direction the issue goes away. Normally this is only fixed by doing a reboot of your PC or reloading EQ.\nStatus:  We have made a change that should reduce the chances of the \"west bug\" occurring; unfortunately the change requires us to turn off some optimizations. If you want to disable this workaround, please add the following line to your eqclient.ini: DisableWestBugFix=1 (The EQ team would like to thank Community Member Strommmm for his feedback on helping us with this issue.)\n\nIssue: Solteris Instability\nSummary: Some people have reported that the Solteris raid zone continuously crashes during raids.\nStatus: Optimizations have been put in place to improve stability. We will continue to monitor the status of this zone and other instanced zones.\n\n\n*** Items ***\n\n- Prestidigitase, Staurolite, Harmonagate and Taaffeite have been modified to work in the new jewelcraft system. They will also continue to work in their original fashion if you prefer the jewelry made that way.\n\n\n*** Spells ***\n\n- Lesser Summon Corpse, Summon Corpse, Conjure Corpse, and Exhumer's Call have had their scribe-levels lowered for shadowknights.\n- The Bewilderment line now has an improved resistance modifier.\n- Player animations when using various AE spells and combat abilities now display properly.\n- The protection granted from Shielding Thunder now stacks with Weapon Shield Discipline.\n- The Consecrate Ground line now has a chance to root undead NPCs that enter the aura's area of effect.\n- Recast timers on many mage summon item spells such as the Phantom Armor line, Aenda's Trinkets line, and Armaments line were removed.\n- Necromancer pet haste now bestows strength and a damage mod.  Upgrades to the line should be improvements under all situations.\n- NPC casters will no longer auto-learn Dispel-type player spells.  \n- The Decrepit Skin, Ward of Tunare, and Skin of the Reptile lines are now limited by the number of heals / runes bestowed to the buffed player instead of number of hits scored against the buffed player.  The number of \"procs\" should be relatively the same, but no longer random.  These spells will scale down in effectiveness against lower level NPCs.\n- AE spells that use conical or beam areas of effect now have a hit limit of 8 targets.\n- The cleric group complete healing spell \"Word of Redemption\" now mimics Complete Heal in that it heals for 7500 and cannot be focused.\n- Single-target fire, ice, and magic instant cast spells from TSS and SoF now share the same recast timer.  The recast delay on Cloudburst has been decreased so it can be chained.  The Cloudburst line is now more damaging but less efficient than the - Flashfires and Cold Snap lines.  Recourses from these instant cast spells now bestow a short-duration buff that applies a damage increase to the next spell with a 3 second cast time or more.  Most other wizard direct damage spells have had their cast times nearly halved and had this time applied to the reuse delay, allowing the use of 2-3 direct damage spells in the time that would previously be required to cast one.\n\n\n*** Tradeskills ***\n\n- There is a new level 80 cultural armor set for all races and level 75 and 80 cultural symbol sets. New quests can be found for level 75 and level 80 quests.  Additionally there are new cultural raid augments to go with the cultural armor for the Serpent's Spine, the Buried Sea, and Secrets of Faydwer.\n- Jewelry Making has evolved to a new method. Now jewelry makers will make base pieces of jewelry and gems that can be put in this jewelry for different effects.  This will allow people to get jewelry customized for their needs. \n- Practitioners of spell research will no longer need to use runes, words and pages.  Instead, they can use the systematic spell research system to make all spells previously made with these materials.\n- Within one of the newly discovered areas of Faydwer you will be able to find a gnome who wants a measure of revenge.\n- A discovery has been made and now Gem Studded Chains are less difficult to make.\n\n\n*** AA ***\n\n- Harm Touch and Lay on Hands have been reworked. Changes to how these abilities work will enable us to more easily adjust and tune these abilities. The primary change you will notice is that both of these abilities have been changed from innate skills to the AA system. For the first 10 ranks of these new AAs you will automatically gain the next rank as you level up - you won't need to purchase the AAs. Starting at level 51 you can continue to increase the power of your ability by purchasing new ranks of AAs. These roughly correspond to some of the previous AAs that existed for either ability.\n\nAll previous functionality for these abilities has been turned off. All AAs based on focusing these abilities have either been refunded and replaced with new AAs or have been modified to work with the new abilities.\n\n- Refunded the Harm Touch AAs as part of the changes to how Harm Touch operates.\n- Refunded the AA \"Improved Lay on Hands\" as part of the changes to how Lay on Hands functions.\n- Corrected an issue with the Flurry line of AA's that was causing them to trigger up to 94 percent of the time on a successful triple-attack, instead of up to the intended 30 percent.\n\n\n*** Zones ***\n\n- Fixed an issue with Halls of Honor where NPCs were dropping the incorrect item for the Hot Zone quests.\n\n\n*** UI ***\n\n- Corrected a few typos and errors with a few of the UI windows.\n- Added \"Claims\" option to the EQ menu button which toggles the Claim Window.\n- Made a few minor adjustments to the claims window.\n- Added a slider/ctrl to loot slots with stacks. Shift-/Ctrl- semantics work with this functionality.\n\n- Changed -\n\nEQUI.xml\nEQUI_LayoutCopyWnd.xml\nEQUI_ClaimWnd.xml\nEQUI_OptionsWindow.xml\nEQUI_MailWindow.xml\nEQUI_LootWnd.xml\nEQUI_LeadershipWnd.xml\nEQUI_GuildManagementWnd.xml\nEQUI_TributeBenefitWnd.xml\nEQUI_Animations.xml\nEQUI_VideoModesWnd.xml\n\n\n*** Miscellaneous ***\n\n- Zoning to Toxxulia no longer puts player in Antonica chat channel.\n\n\n\n- The EverQuest Team","content_hash":"c9ae78d5049bff878068d59f10d56759987a750d26ef9a28cab500474b213886","source_files":["patches-2007-2.txt","patches_1999-2008_combined.md","patches_1999-2010_combined.txt"],"source_titles":["November 13, 2007"],"source_url":null,"source_urls":[],"occurrence_count":3,"source_occurrences":[{"occurrence_id":"d6bed7c8751b95985f35a9f79d0c986b98cd30f9c4e5eb8944d567046512c783","filename":"patches_1999-2008_combined.md","adapter":"markdown","source_offset":946749,"item_index":null,"heading":"November 13, 2007","source_url":null,"source_url_raw":null,"published":null,"source_kind":"markdown","excerpt":false,"year_inferred":false},{"occurrence_id":"ea67676abe3b17b08e6c154fa8513cde0751f203ce1d44a9c0e26a99fd57a637","filename":"patches_1999-2010_combined.txt","adapter":"text","source_offset":970206,"item_index":null,"heading":"November 13, 2007","source_url":null,"source_url_raw":null,"published":null,"source_kind":"text","excerpt":false,"year_inferred":false},{"occurrence_id":"c97c3effd3b4ffb07caaced84a2c08c597cdea0b1084da30916f431263ae0399","filename":"patches-2007-2.txt","adapter":"text","source_offset":29137,"item_index":null,"heading":"November 13, 2007","source_url":null,"source_url_raw":null,"published":null,"source_kind":"text","excerpt":false,"year_inferred":false}],"year_inferred":false,"sequence":1,"slug":"2007-11-13-1","id":"2007-11-13-1"},{"patch_date":"2007-09-06","effective_date":"2007-09-06","display_date":"September 6, 2007","title":"September 6, 2007","year":2007,"month":9,"kind":"live","era":"EverQuest Live","expansion":"The Buried Sea","expansion_code":"the-buried-sea","categories":[{"slug":"bug-fixes","label":"Bug Fixes"},{"slug":"items","label":"Items"},{"slug":"zones-npcs","label":"Zones & NPCs"},{"slug":"ui","label":"UI"},{"slug":"servers","label":"Servers"},{"slug":"audio-graphics","label":"Audio & Graphics"}],"sections":[],"change_count":5,"word_count":209,"summary":"There were a few technical issues that we addressed today that require a server update and some downtime.

For the ones that can be pickup up as a ground spawn, this will change how they look on the ground: Tomato, Green Apple, Straight Oak Treant Branch, Dry Treant Branch, Straight Treant Branch, Fallen Straight Oak Treant Branch, Fallen Dry Treant Branch, Fallen Straight Treant Branch, Windwillow Branch, Fallen Rotwood Treant Branch, Fallen Windwillow Treant Branch, and Fallen Grovewalker Treant Branch.\n- Corrected the spelling of the Eminent Impression Book.\n- Made Gothic Ringmail usable by Drakkin.\n- Corrected stats on Expert Crafted Gloves of the Attackers. \n- Removed an erroneous augment slot from the Hand of Glory. \n- Shadowknights can now use the Gloomsteel Blade. \n- Corrected an issue with several Depths of Darkhollow skills that could not be learned by right-clicking. \n- Corrected the required level on the Fabled Crystallized Shadow Tunic. \n- Corrected the required casting level on Sphere of Air's effect. \n- Certain clickable items from Veeshan's Peak have their recast times reduced.\n- Changed the \"Pained Memories\" spell to use consuming thickener.\n- Removed augments that fit into multiple socket types from type 3 sockets.\n- All silk armor usable by pure caster classes will now have a graphic if it previously didn't.\n- The Last Blood, Bazu Stone, Discordant Stone, and Chronal Stone have all had their lore flag removed.\n\n\n*** Quests & Events ***\n\n- Xanuusus is now a little more informative about his vague poem.\n\n\n*** Spells ***\n\n- Sea Snake Venom is now curable with effects that remove poison counters.\n- Modified the Frenzied Devastation and Prolonged Destruction AAs. Mana preservation effects should again reduce the mana cost of using these AAs although now the mana cost will be variable instead of fixed (but should average out to the same cost.) Additionally the increased mana cost should only apply to direct damage spells and the ability is limited to a set number of casts with a longer duration rather than a short period of time as before.\n\n\n*** NPC ***\n\n- The Casino operator will now make sure you do not have the Vibrating Gauntlets of Infuse and the Vibrating Hammer before awarding you that item.\n- Fixed a bug preventing the door into the Shade King's room in Frostcrypt from opening.\n- Guards in Commonlands will now attack pumas and lions. Not only will this make the area a bit safer, but it should also improve the spider population a bit for those seeking their silk.\n\n\n*** AA ***\n\n- Increased the hitpoints of the swarm pets summoned by ranks 4 and 5 of the Shaman AA Spirit Call so that the swarm pets from rank 4 would not be killed faster than the swarm pets from rank 3.\n- Removed the AA \"Frenzied Defense\" while we continue to investigate issues with this ability.\n\n\n*** Zones ***\n\n- Re-enabled Manastone usage in the following revamped zones: Lavastorm, West Freeport, East Freeport, North Desert of Ro, and South Desert of Ro.\n\n\n*** UI ***\n\n- New -\n\nEQUI_ClaimWnd.xml\n\n- Changed -\n\nEQUI_OptionsWindow.xml\nEQUI_VideoModesWnd.xml\nEQUI_AAWindow.xml\nEQUI_BarterSearchWnd.xml\nEQUI_BarterWnd.xml\nEQUI_Inventory.xml\nEQUI_ItemDisplay.xml\nEQUI_TCGStartupWnd.xml\nEQUI.xml\n\n\n*** Miscellaneous ***\n\n- We fixed a number of issues with Legends of Norrath within EverQuest.\n- Fixed a problem with transformation molds where items transformed could not be linked in the chat window. \n- Weapon procs will now only fire on the player's main target. \n- You now need to be in full screen mode to change your resolution size under the options menu.  While in windowed mode, you can simply drag the window border to resize the window.\n\n\n- The EverQuest Team","content_hash":"d48cbeecc18988b52e0373c227aa7f19032212fbc8771d81c902b919091b18fc","source_files":["patches-2007-2.txt","patches_1999-2008_combined.md","patches_1999-2010_combined.txt"],"source_titles":["September 5, 2007"],"source_url":null,"source_urls":[],"occurrence_count":3,"source_occurrences":[{"occurrence_id":"3d9cff68f49353288df2bf6881a6bc6f005a3ba97b40760691e15d3a7a0a3581","filename":"patches_1999-2008_combined.md","adapter":"markdown","source_offset":938173,"item_index":null,"heading":"September 5, 2007","source_url":null,"source_url_raw":null,"published":null,"source_kind":"markdown","excerpt":false,"year_inferred":false},{"occurrence_id":"35dbede0978fd7d41cc79dbd383b8fe3aa017cfc2124bf38208551d431552c65","filename":"patches_1999-2010_combined.txt","adapter":"text","source_offset":961432,"item_index":null,"heading":"September 5, 2007","source_url":null,"source_url_raw":null,"published":null,"source_kind":"text","excerpt":false,"year_inferred":false},{"occurrence_id":"da32e32abfa956c09ebd2742f060a9f7c76eec91ba15f98144325e19c4bfc22b","filename":"patches-2007-2.txt","adapter":"text","source_offset":20363,"item_index":null,"heading":"September 5, 2007","source_url":null,"source_url_raw":null,"published":null,"source_kind":"text","excerpt":false,"year_inferred":false}],"year_inferred":false,"sequence":1,"slug":"2007-09-05-1","id":"2007-09-05-1"},{"patch_date":"2007-05-16","effective_date":"2007-05-16","display_date":"May 16, 2007","title":"May 16, 2007","year":2007,"month":5,"kind":"live","era":"EverQuest Live","expansion":"The Buried Sea","expansion_code":"the-buried-sea","categories":[{"slug":"bug-fixes","label":"Bug Fixes"},{"slug":"classes","label":"Classes"},{"slug":"spells-aa","label":"Spells & AA"},{"slug":"items","label":"Items"},{"slug":"zones-npcs","label":"Zones & NPCs"},{"slug":"quests-events","label":"Quests & Events"},{"slug":"tradeskills","label":"Tradeskills"},{"slug":"ui","label":"UI"},{"slug":"servers","label":"Servers"},{"slug":"audio-graphics","label":"Audio & Graphics"},{"slug":"expansions","label":"Expansions"}],"sections":["Highlights","Recently Reported Issues","Items","Spells","NPC","Tradeskills","Missions","Tasks","AA","Miscellaneous","User Interface Changes","Previously Updated","Future Tradeskill Changes"],"change_count":41,"word_count":1362,"summary":"Highlights *** Jardel's Hook Mission: Long ago, a holy war brewed between the Redfeather aviaks and the Suncrest goblins.

Using a blessed artifact of the ocean god, Prexus, the Suncrest goblins shaped the tide in the Buried Sea. The aviaks, fearful of the power the goblins possessed countered with their own artifact blessed by Karana, the god of storms, which created monsoons and heavy rain. This era in the Buried Sea became known as the Time of Storms. Many years after it began, the war ended abruptly when a powerful siren stole both artifacts and hid them somewhere in the vast expanse of the Buried Sea. Find out what happened to these powerful artifacts in a new mission in the Buried Sea! \n\n- Ocean of Tears: The Ocean of Tears has a new look. Sail over to check it out and to experience the return of the boats!\n\n- A new integrated web browser has been added to EverQuest. This web browser will be accessible from either the help menu or the /petition command. From this point forward, all problems related to switching to an external browser will be eliminated because this browser will pull up in an in-game window.\n\n- Congratulations to the winners of EverQuest's \"The Fabled Adventurer\" Video Contest. The First Place winner was Quarken of the Maelin Starpyre server. You can view the winning video on EQPlayers.station.sony.com.\n\n\n*** Recently Reported Issues ***\n\nFirst of all, we want to thank everyone for their assistance with reporting bugs in the game. Your effort helps us pinpoint the source of bugs so that they can be resolved as quickly as possible. Our main source of reports on bugs comes from the in-game submitted /bug reports but we also get verification from /petitions and forum posts. \n\nIn order to make sure everyone knows what we are currently aware of and working on, we will be frequently posting a List of Recently Reported Issues that have been addressed. The following is a list of the Recently Reported issues that have been resolved in this update:\n\nIssue: Tartons Wheel (A Rod)\nSummary: Players are unable to combine Staff of the Wheel in A Glowing Chest. The recipe that players must combine in order to get the Staff of the Wheel and Star of Eyes, eventually leading to the Ice Comet spell, is currently not useable. \nStatus: The combine works properly again.\n\nIssue: Elder Longshadow #4 Trailing Longshadow.\nSummary: Players can port into the instance before completing the first element of the quest.

The hardware will be upgraded. We believe that this will help prevent the database from becoming overloaded which is what was causing many people not to get updated. There are some other changes that they will be making as well in regards to the flow of information. Once the upgrade is done and the changes are made we will be able to track the situation closer to determine exactly what is causing the problem if it occurs again.\n\nIssue: Vah Shir Illusion makes Rogues naked.\nSummary: Armor doesn't show up correctly when under illusion.\nStatus: The illusion should no longer hide the armor.\n\n\n*** Items ***\n\n- Guardian Blade is no longer useable by Paladins, Shadowknights, or Rangers as they can't actually obtain it.\n- Improved Silver-Wrapped Turquoise Earring.\n- Changed the icon for Ink of Terris Thule.\n- The Bucket of Slop used in the Meek Shall What? task is now Lore.\n- Fixed backstab issues with Eye of the Onyx Guardian and Rogue Epic 2.5.\n- Added a worn effect to Venesh's Evergreen Gauntlets.\n- Improved Jagged Blood, Iron Ring, Scorched Froststeel Ring, and Ice Enameled Gorget of Battle.\n- TBS pet class items are now useable by Frogloks.\n- Added Pelzia's Replenishment to Keikolin's Forcephase Sandals.\n\n\n*** Quests \n\n- Fixed a bug with Bloodeye's event.

Speak to Farwhendle Higglespout in The Barren Coast for more details.\n\n\n*** Tasks ***\n\n- Changed the cultural tasks to be available at the required level of the items they make not the recommended level.\n- In shared tasks if the leader disconnects, the leadership is passed to another active member of the shared task.\n\n\n*** AA ***\n\n- All Shadow Steps from the Wizard AA \"Dimensional Instability\" should now have the same range. \n- The Silent Casting AA ability will now appear in the \"Short Buff\" window. \n- The AA Glyph of Destruction will now increase the damage of all Damage over Time spells when active.\n\n\n*** Miscellaneous ***\n\n- Armor of Experience should now display the correct absorption messages.\n- Mipmapping has been setup so that it is turned in every model when the mipmapping option has been selected.

For the slot 12 raid augments, only the drops for the seals will be changing, the rest of the drops required for the various steps of the slot 12 raid augments will be staying the same. Those of you who have stockpiles will want to make use of them as best and quickly as possible, as once the changes go in, the currently existing cultural recipes will no longer work.\n\nFor more detailed information please see the \"Upcoming Cultural Changes\" sticky thread in the Artisans Way forum of the official EverQuest forums.\n\n\n\n\n- The EverQuest Team","content_hash":"70c114bfb6387c84451d0200d48d886b882f58096767537a91399f76735ec21e","source_files":["patches-2007-1.txt","patches_1999-2008_combined.md","patches_1999-2010_combined.txt"],"source_titles":["May 16, 2007"],"source_url":null,"source_urls":[],"occurrence_count":3,"source_occurrences":[{"occurrence_id":"c8bacd4aa47744bd225e59cca2619a50f38981e4778d0628536a2ab45fa32b83","filename":"patches_1999-2008_combined.md","adapter":"markdown","source_offset":908689,"item_index":null,"heading":"May 16, 2007","source_url":null,"source_url_raw":null,"published":null,"source_kind":"markdown","excerpt":false,"year_inferred":false},{"occurrence_id":"763464f379d2afcb1c020d509d120d3418218ddb1b4e554fe864a28a31389095","filename":"patches_1999-2010_combined.txt","adapter":"text","source_offset":931552,"item_index":null,"heading":"May 16, 2007","source_url":null,"source_url_raw":null,"published":null,"source_kind":"text","excerpt":false,"year_inferred":false},{"occurrence_id":"ee27f5487f1aaf0ed5f169de984b8da4b88834884dda2ec10c3ff58da53deb35","filename":"patches-2007-1.txt","adapter":"text","source_offset":33052,"item_index":null,"heading":"May 16, 2007","source_url":null,"source_url_raw":null,"published":null,"source_kind":"text","excerpt":false,"year_inferred":false}],"year_inferred":false,"sequence":1,"slug":"2007-05-16-1","id":"2007-05-16-1"},{"patch_date":"2007-04-18","effective_date":"2007-04-18","display_date":"April 18, 2007","title":"April 18, 2007","year":2007,"month":4,"kind":"live","era":"EverQuest Live","expansion":"The Buried Sea","expansion_code":"the-buried-sea","categories":[{"slug":"bug-fixes","label":"Bug Fixes"},{"slug":"classes","label":"Classes"},{"slug":"spells-aa","label":"Spells & AA"},{"slug":"items","label":"Items"},{"slug":"zones-npcs","label":"Zones & NPCs"},{"slug":"quests-events","label":"Quests & Events"},{"slug":"tradeskills","label":"Tradeskills"},{"slug":"ui","label":"UI"},{"slug":"audio-graphics","label":"Audio & Graphics"}],"sections":["Highlights","Items","Quests & Events","Spells","NPC","Tradeskills","AA","Zones","Miscellaneous","Future Tradeskill Changes"],"change_count":49,"word_count":1204,"summary":"Highlights *** New Veteran AA!

In some cases we have tested the optimization and have seen a 15 percent gain in frame rate.\n\nYou can toggle apv optimizations off and on with the slash command, \"/apvoptimizations.\" When EverQuest is loaded it checks for an \"APVOptimizations\" key value pair specified in the eqclient.ini and turns portalizing off or on depending on this value. If a value does not exist in this file it gets set to on by default and written to the eqclient.ini file.

Those of you who have stockpiles will want to make use of them as best and quickly as possible, as once the changes go in, the currently existing cultural recipes will no longer work. This change will even out the disparity of drop rates between different races and remove the extreme rarity of some items.\n\nFor more detailed information please see the \"Upcoming Cultural Changes\" sticky thread in the Artisans Way forum of the official EverQuest forums.\n\n\n- The EverQuest Team","content_hash":"b83972f6190191d27d63e6d354ea93f2755072b970f92a171923c59dc3e7a857","source_files":["patches-2007-1.txt","patches_1999-2008_combined.md","patches_1999-2010_combined.txt"],"source_titles":["April 18, 2007"],"source_url":null,"source_urls":[],"occurrence_count":3,"source_occurrences":[{"occurrence_id":"9f9872c2092c48e28f9aba64af6622dcee166e806daa6b9ff3effd7d28439158","filename":"patches_1999-2008_combined.md","adapter":"markdown","source_offset":900732,"item_index":null,"heading":"April 18, 2007","source_url":null,"source_url_raw":null,"published":null,"source_kind":"markdown","excerpt":false,"year_inferred":false},{"occurrence_id":"5322739d82e66436a9ee60bc1c9eac538b67d1eaec2195f3207bd699d8103463","filename":"patches_1999-2010_combined.txt","adapter":"text","source_offset":923463,"item_index":null,"heading":"April 18, 2007","source_url":null,"source_url_raw":null,"published":null,"source_kind":"text","excerpt":false,"year_inferred":false},{"occurrence_id":"caf67661440701c042acb4c94c9f5c77069be8060c4beb40d92ff70f4a52c133","filename":"patches-2007-1.txt","adapter":"text","source_offset":24963,"item_index":null,"heading":"April 18, 2007","source_url":null,"source_url_raw":null,"published":null,"source_kind":"text","excerpt":false,"year_inferred":false}],"year_inferred":false,"sequence":1,"slug":"2007-04-18-1","id":"2007-04-18-1"},{"patch_date":"2006-09-19","effective_date":"2006-09-19","display_date":"September 19, 2006","title":"September 19, 2006","year":2006,"month":9,"kind":"live","era":"EverQuest Live","expansion":"The Serpent's Spine","expansion_code":"the-serpents-spine","categories":[{"slug":"classes","label":"Classes"},{"slug":"spells-aa","label":"Spells & AA"},{"slug":"items","label":"Items"},{"slug":"zones-npcs","label":"Zones & NPCs"},{"slug":"quests-events","label":"Quests & Events"},{"slug":"tradeskills","label":"Tradeskills"},{"slug":"ui","label":"UI"},{"slug":"audio-graphics","label":"Audio & Graphics"},{"slug":"expansions","label":"Expansions"}],"sections":["Highlights","General Game Improvements","AA System","Death","Character Creation","Con Color Changes","Downtime","Group Mentoring","Reward Window","NPCs","Tradeskill","Spells","AAs","Skills","Veteran Rewards","Events","Items","Disciplines","Miscellaneous"],"change_count":68,"word_count":2186,"summary":"Highlights *** Welcome to EverQuest: The Serpent's Spine, the 12th expansion for EverQuest!

Several colors and customizations will be available to make each Drakkin character \nunique, such as elegant scale markings and horns.\n- Level Cap Increase: Players can now reach level 75, complete with new spells, abilities, raids and \nquests for greater power. \n- Content for Levels 1 to 75: Play through every level of the game without ever leaving the Serpent \nSpine Mountains. The entrance to Serpent's Spine can be found within Highpass Hold.\n- New Starting City: Crescent Reach is a fully functioning city with all that is required to learn and \nthrive in EverQuest, including merchant, quest, combat and tradeskill areas. All classes and races are\nwelcome within the city.\n- Dynamic Features: New zones, NPCs, destructible and interactive objects.\n- New AAs \n\nSpell Ranks: The new spells that you can acquire in The Serpent's Spine have different ranks to them. \nThe higher ranks of a spell are generally more powerful and more difficult to obtain than the lower \nranks. When you scribe a higher rank of a spell that you already know, the lower rank will automatically \nbe overwritten by the higher rank and your spell casting gems and hotkeys will be updated to reflect that \nyou now have a higher rank of the spell.\n\n\n*** General Game Improvements ***\n\n*** AA System ***\n\nThe AA system has undergone some significant back-end changes. The experience you get toward an AA \npoint is now based on the difficulty of the NPC relative to you rather than being based directly on \nthe NPCs level. This means that you will gain a similar amount of experience killing even con \ncreatures at all levels. The amount of experience required to gain an AA is based off the current \namount required for a level 70 character to do so, so players at level 70 shouldn't see much of a\ndifference. Players below level 70 will gain AA experience at a rate faster than they were before since \nthey are now gaining it at a similar rate as the level 70. Going forward, this rate will remain static \nso the amount of kills to gain an AA point at level 75 will be the same it is at level 70. Current \nabilities and points spent are not affected by this change.\n\n\n*** Death ***\n\nWe've made a change to the way death works. When you die now you will be \"hovering\" over your body \nand can choose to stay that way while waiting for a resurrection instead of immediately zoning to \nyour bind point. This is being done to help players on slow connections who take a big hit from \nhaving to zone twice when they die.\n\n\n*** Character Creation ***\n\nWe've changed character creation to make it more graphical, allow characters to be created from a \nsingle page, and updated it to include features associated with the new Drakkin race. As part of \nthis, we've set up some character defaults so starting point allocation, starting city, and starting \ndeity all have defaults now, which can be changed if you wish.\n\n\n*** Con Color Changes ***\n\nWe have introduced a new con color, dark blue, which represents a range of blue con NPCs that give a \nbonus to their experience due to being very close to your level, generally within 5 levels. The \nconcept of a dark blue con NPC has existed in EQ for a while now, but we've decided to change the \ncon system to visually include this range so you can visually see when an NPC falls into this \n\"sweet spot\". To properly display a different shade of blue, we've had to reorder the cons a little \nbit. From trivial to highest con, the colors are now:\n\n- Gray - This creature is trivial to you and will give you no experience for killing it.\n- Green - This creature is not much of a threat, but will still give you some experience.\n- Blue - This creature is below your level, but high enough level to give you experience.\n- Dark Blue - This creature is below your level, but close enough to provide a solid challenge and gives \nyou more experience than normal blue cons.\n- White - This creature is the same level as you\n- Yellow - This creature is slightly above your level.\n- Red - This creature is well above your level.\n\nIn addition, yellow con now extends up to 3 levels above the player for high end NPCs to help casters \ndetermine what can be affected by their spells.\n\n\n*** Downtime ***\n\nAs EverQuest has grown over the years, the amount of downtime imposed upon players has grown as well \nand we'd rather players find challenge in the fights themselves than in the time between them. Toward \nthat end, we've created a new system that is simple to use, but powerful and flexible enough to control \ndowntime as the game continues to grow.\n\nThe basics of the new system are simple. Once you have been out-of-combat for a sufficient amount of \ntime, you can sit down (or be on a non-moving horse) and begin to rest. While resting, you enter an \naccelerated regeneration state that will quickly recover your mana, health, and endurance. For most \nsingle group content, once you are out of combat for 30 seconds you can rest. While dealing with \nmulti-group content, that time is 5 minutes. The amount of time you have to be out-of-combat before \nyou can rest varies for group content and raid content due to the different needs of the different \nencounter types.\n\nThere are a series of icons that will display by your character's name to let you know what your \ncharacter's current state is.\n\n- Crossed Swords - You are currently in combat.\n- Hour Glass - You are recovering from combat and cannot rest yet. In addition to the hourglass, \nthere is a timer bar beneath the endurance bar that will count down as you get closer to being rested.\n- Poison Drop - You are no longer in combat, but cannot rest because of a debuff that is affecting \nyou. You must get rid of the debuff before you can rest. Certain debuffs now have a yellow border \ninstead of a red one. These debuffs do not affect your ability to rest.\n- Void - The void is the default icon and indicates that you are not in-combat and you can rest at \nany time.\n- Energy Swirl - The energy swirl indicates that you are currently resting.\n\n\n*** Group Mentoring ***\n\nPlayers can now share their group leadership experience with another member of their group.\n\n\n*** Reward Window ***\n\nTasks within The Serpent's Spine have a new way of giving out rewards. When there are multiple rewards \nto choose from, you will get to choose which one you like from a selection window. If you don’t choose \na reward immediately, you can bring up the window later to make the selection but you can only have a \nmaximum of 5 outstanding rewards at any time. If you go above that, the oldest reward will be replaced \nand you will be unable to claim that reward.\n\n\n*** NPCs ***\n\n- Corrected a couple of problems in the NPC call-for-help code. NPCs will now call for help immediately \nwhen attacked regardless of when they were last aggroed if they are no longer aggro. Also, NPCs will now \nproperly aggro on the owner of a pet if the pet is sent to attack the NPC.\n- Shrewd halfling bankers have set up shop in the guild lobby.\n- Coldwind in Nektulos will now offer a confirmation box to players when they try to remove their Curse \nof the Blood AAs.\n- Various issues with the Trial of Lashing in Plane of Justice have been resolved.\n- The balances in the Kvxe Pirik event in Tacvi will once again reset to full health between waves. \n- The Alchemy vendors have set up shop in Innothule, Everfrost, West Cabilis, and Shar Vahl.\n- A new vendor has appeared in East Cabilis that caries some basic adventuring supplies.\n- Tani N`mar and Founy Jestands are now pick-pocketable again.\n- The skeletons summoned by the Swarm of Decay ability are casting their spells properly again. \n- Tegea Prendyn has grown tired of her ocean view and now rests near an inn.\n- Char and Blaze in the ROTA raid now have their spells functioning correctly again.\n- Many healer NPCs in Depths of Darkhollow now require some casting time to get off their big heal.\n- The Vengeful skeletons in Everfrost should no longer evade the guards quite so well.\n\n\n*** Tradeskill ***\n\n- Made the Foldable Reinforced Medicine Bag a bit roomier.\n- For clarity, the tradeskill trophies and carry-alls now list the lore group they are part of.\n- The yield when making metal bits has increased to 2.\n- Modified the recipe for Blessing of Reverence to make the spell line more consistent.\n- Lost Dungeons of Norrath and Omens of Wars spells have become tradable. Additionally, Lost \nDungeons of Norrath spells will have no token sellback value to NPCs.\n\n\n*** Spells ***\n\n- Stun-caps have been added to the various levels of the Strike of Opportunity spells. \n- The Circle of Power aura effects will now improve all melee and ranged attacks instead of affecting \nonly one-hand blunt.\n- Wolf form illusions will no longer automatically make you KOS to guards.\n- Illusion: Tree now uses a different, global tree model rather than the tree model it used to use, \nwhich was only available in older zones.\n- The damage dealt by high level NPCs that have been charmed has been increased.\n- Increased the regeneration of pets while they are out-of-combat to keep pace with the increases \nof out-of-combat regeneration for PCs.\n- Translocate spells no longer require a reagent.\n- The reuse on the warrior disciplines Bazu Bellow and Mock are no longer linked together. \n\n\n*** AAs ***\n\n- Most beneficial AA effects that last for less than 30 seconds will now go to the short \nduration buff window instead of the normal buff window.\n- Improved Harm Touch and Leech Touch are now on different timers.\n- The Shadowknight AAs Consumption of the Soul and Improved Consumption of the Soul now provide \na greater increase to Leech Curse.\n- Refunded all AAs that increased your chance to channel through damage. Channeling is currently \nset to 100% for all classes due to a long standing issue in how it is calculated, so the abilities \nweren't doing anything. This includes Channeling Focus, Channeling Mastery, and Internal Metronome. \nItem Channeling abilities, such as Concentration, are not affected.\n- You will now get a message if you have the Stonewall or Willful Death AA and successfully \nfeign death through a spell that hit you.\n- Lowered the reuse time on the Monk AA Imitate Death to 18 minutes. Modified Hastened Death \nto reduce the reuse by 2 more minutes per rank of the ability.\n- Increased the mitigation of the higher ranks of the bard AA Shield of Notes.\n- By popular demand, removed Spell Casting Subtlety from the Bard AA lineup. Any points spent \nin that ability will be refunded.\n- The Beastlord AA Feral Swipe has received a damage increase.\n\n\n*** Skills ***\n\n- Modified skill progression for many classes.\n- Bards and Beastlords now have access to Double Attack starting at level 71.\n- All bard instrument skills are now available starting at level 5.\n\n\n*** Veteran Rewards ***\n\n- Issues with the Steadfast Servant casting lower level effects at certain level ranges have \nbeen corrected. \n\n\n*** Events ***\n\n- The Aura of Destruction from Uqua and Prick of a Poisoned Pin from Demi-Plane of Blood will \nland reliably again and last their intended duration.\n- Slightly reduced the hit-points of the third wave adds in the Sendaii event.\n\n\n*** Items ***\n\n- Changed the name of the \"Stromguard Forge\" to \"Stormguard Forge\".\n- Many items that had extremely strong light sources have had their light sources reduced a \nbit to help with the issues where lightly colored surfaces become blindingly bright.\n- Many spell reagents now stack to 100 instead of 20.\n- Some items now have a new tab on them called \"Lore\" that will give extended information about \nthe item.\n- Shield of the Immaculate, Amulet of Necropotence, and Holgresh Elder Beads are now flagged all/all.\n- Upgraded Stats on Class Specific Items in Demiplane of Blood.\n\n\n*** Disciplines ***\n\n- You may now learn combat abilities by right-clicking upon the Tomes instead of delivering \nthem to your guild master.\n\n\n*** Miscellaneous ***\n\n- Race based experience penalties have been removed.\n- You can you enable texture streaming from the advanced graphics options window. This should \nreduce the total memory used by the client during any given play session.","content_hash":"421314897ec03a08cc842feeb910424db6ee10277f58e3b47618b5855ae76535","source_files":["patches-2006-2.txt","patches_1999-2010_combined.txt"],"source_titles":["September 19, 2006"],"source_url":null,"source_urls":[],"occurrence_count":2,"source_occurrences":[{"occurrence_id":"25fc16a999e84360e9a8176d4d622503c295b952d1de9a774eff547bbb237e9d","filename":"patches_1999-2010_combined.txt","adapter":"text","source_offset":867070,"item_index":null,"heading":"September 19, 2006","source_url":null,"source_url_raw":null,"published":null,"source_kind":"text","excerpt":false,"year_inferred":false},{"occurrence_id":"dcc92378bac217eb5a038a76f8c4d83916213668ced134e6b648ff944d1cc789","filename":"patches-2006-2.txt","adapter":"text","source_offset":648,"item_index":null,"heading":"September 19, 2006","source_url":null,"source_url_raw":null,"published":null,"source_kind":"text","excerpt":false,"year_inferred":false}],"year_inferred":false,"sequence":2,"slug":"2006-09-19-2","id":"2006-09-19-2"},{"patch_date":"2006-06-13","effective_date":"2006-06-13","display_date":"June 13, 2006","title":"June 13, 2006","year":2006,"month":6,"kind":"live","era":"EverQuest Live","expansion":"Prophecy of Ro","expansion_code":"prophecy-of-ro","categories":[{"slug":"bug-fixes","label":"Bug Fixes"},{"slug":"classes","label":"Classes"},{"slug":"spells-aa","label":"Spells & AA"},{"slug":"items","label":"Items"},{"slug":"zones-npcs","label":"Zones & NPCs"},{"slug":"quests-events","label":"Quests & Events"},{"slug":"tradeskills","label":"Tradeskills"},{"slug":"ui","label":"UI"},{"slug":"pvp","label":"PvP"},{"slug":"servers","label":"Servers"},{"slug":"audio-graphics","label":"Audio & Graphics"},{"slug":"expansions","label":"Expansions"}],"sections":["Headlines","We've now upgraded to DirectX 9.0c!","Make sure you","Spells","AAS","Items","Skills","Tradeskills","Quests","Events","Missions","Zones","NPCs","Maps","UI","Miscellaneous"],"change_count":131,"word_count":2958,"summary":"Headlines *** We've now upgraded to DirectX 9.0c! *** Continuing our efforts to keep pace with current technology, EverQuest will be upgrading to DirectX9.0c to allow us to take advantage of many of the new features and fixes since our last upgrade in the middle of 2003.

You will need to be sure that you are currently \nrunning DirectX9.0C . If not you will need to download it. This can be done by simply going \nto http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?linkid=56513. \n\nMake sure you: \n\n1. Get the April 2006 DirectX 9.0C redistributable version (Caution: Download is about 52 MB)\nat: http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?FamilyID=fb73d860-5af1-45e5-bac0-9bc7a5254203. \n\n2.

We've added \na corpse summoner to the tutorial who will summon corpses for free for anyone who is \nlevel 10 or under. \n\n- New Hot Zones! With this patch the old hot zones have been reverted to their previous \nvalues and a new set of hot zones has been selected! The following zones are now the \"Hot Zones\"! \n\nLevel 20: Swamp of No Hope \nLevel 25: Overthere \nLevel 30: Timorous Deep \nLevel 35: Emerald Jungle \nLevel 40: Dreadlands \nLevel 45: City of Mist \nLevel 50: Skyfire \nLevel 55: Karnor's Castle \nLevel 60: Veksar \n\n\n*** Spells *** \n\n- Fire pets should now regenerate mana appropriately. \n- Pet spells and weapon procs now report to the owner and can be filtered appropriately. \n- The refresh time on Spirit of Bih`Li has been reduced. \n- The damage on Bloodpyre and Heartblaze have been increased. \n- The effect from your aura will no longer be removed if you use an illusion. \n- Having an aura up should no longer cause targeting issues while you are under illusions. \n- Illusion: Werewolf now uses the new werewolf model.

In addition, \nyou will now gain more experience toward your evolving item when you are in a group, similar \nto how normal experience works. \n- Reduced the amount of experience required to level up intelligent items. If your items now \nhave more experience than is required to level, they will evolve the next time they gain experience. \n- Due to the changes to how fast you gain item XP, the amount of XP required to evolve the \nCloak of the Spirit Tracker has been increased. \n- Evolving an item should no longer cause occasional crashes. \n- The aura effects from Prophecy of Ro \"clicky\" items are no longer restricted to only \nhitting your group. In addition, they will no longer recast their effect every 6 seconds, \nbut instead will remain on a character for as long as they are within range of the aura. \n- Throwing axes should now pull from ammo/inventory appropriately. \n- Lowered the duration on the spin stun on Peace of the Disciple Strike and One Hundred \nBlows while in PvP. \n- Bane of Muram and Curse of Muram now last 18 and 36 seconds respectively. \n-Modified the Battleworn Symbol of Rage. The charm was calculating values higher than \nintended and now should be on par with other Demiplane of Blood level charms. \n- Changed all four of the Furious Bash Augments from DoD that use Ambleshift's Amazing Automated \nAmalgamator to Improved Block. Additionally the names of the Chronal, Discordant and Bazu \nseals have been changed appropriately. \n- Altered the Favorable Breezes line of augments from DoD that use Ambleshift's Amazing \nAutomated Amalgamator.

A level 60 character taunting an even con \nor higher level NPC will now use the character's taunt skill to determine success rate, similar \nto what occurs below level 60. The chance to taunt is roughly the same. In addition, the \nreduction in your chance to taunt creatures higher level than yourself now occurs at a \nslower rate and the minimum chance to taunt an NPC is higher. Also, you will now gain a \nbonus to your chance to taunt NPCs that are lower level than yourself. To go along with \nthe change to use a character's taunt skill after level 60, paladins and shadowknights have \nhad their taunt caps increased to match warriors and ranger's skill cap has been increased to 200. \n- Taunts that fail because of distance will no longer cause you to have to wait the cool down \nperiod before attempting to taunt again. \n- Ranged combat should behave much more consistently now. \n- Increased the sense and disarm range on many traps throughout the world. \n- /con will now properly report whether an NPC can see you sneaky rogues. \n\n\n*** Tradeskills *** \n\n- Increased the amount of mobs that can drop exceptional shissar blood. \n- The tradeskill recipes for Dreary Deeds and Infusion of Spirit have finally been discovered. \n- Merchants across the world realized that they were selling small pieces of ore at a loss. \nThey have mutually agreed on a price increase. \n- The poisons from the Omens of War era will no longer magically create a vial; they now require \ntwo of the appropriate poison vial. \n- You will no longer be able to combine ingredients that you have up for sale in the bazaar. \n- The Antonican forge has moved to outside of Armor by Ikthar. \n- Failing to create Frost Bunny Stew will now return your pot to you. \n- Fixed the bug to the evolution of the tradeskill trophies for players using lower than master \ncertificates while having a 300 skill. \n- Bristlebane's Challenge and Bristlebane's Challenge Meats have changed to No Drop. \n- Fixed a bug in the wording of the Grandmaster's Book of Barbarian Culture. \n- Expanded the shark skins that can be used to make advanced poison vials.

This should make these quests more accessible by allowing characters \nto collect the items needed, then get the quest and hand them in to complete it. \n- Added an experience reward for the \"Bring Me Their Heads\" and \"Engines of Destruction\" \ntasks in the Devastation and Stronghold of Rage. \n- Fixed a problem with the Shaman epic 2.0 Elder Spirit of Enlightenment in West Freeport. \nSeemed he wanted to enlighten himself by wandering where he shouldn't. He should now happily \nlead shamans from the Jade Tiger Inn into the courtyard for the ritual. \n- The drop rate of the Twilight Sea armor quest gems has been increased significantly. In an \neffort to keep the amount of money entering the world from those gems roughly the same, the \nvalue of the gems has been reduced as a result. \n- Shalowen the Pure will now return The Chalice of Life if you have completed the single group \nmissions in his arc in order and turning in the chalice of life drop from the Corruption of Ro raid. \n- Exploring the Valley of Xanzerok for the Arcstone quests should now work correctly when \nlevitating. \n\n\n*** Events *** \n\n- The LDoN raids have been switched over to use the expedition system. This means you can \nadd new players to the raid at any time, and the lockout occurs at the end after a success \ninstead of at the beginning when the raid is launched. Also, the maximum player limit has \nbeen increased from 36 to 54, and all death count failure mechanics have been removed. \n- The events in Deathknell, Tower of Dissonance now have individual lockout timers instead \nof applying a lockout to the entire zone. \n- Made some tuning changes to the first raid event in Deathknell. \n- The Deathknell Enforcers will no longer use Immobilizing Stone. \n- Added a tether to Maestro Tan`Lor in Theater of Blood. \n- The lava spout traps have been removed from the Tirranun encounter. \n- The traps in the Inktu`ta raid should fire off much less often, as well as be easier to \nlocate and disarm. \n- Mayong will now teleport back to his spawn point if he wanders too far from his room. \n- Fixed a crash bug that could occur in the Demi-Plane of Blood during the Performer event. \n- Drekish the Enforcer of Ro will now properly reset in the event of a failure in the \nCorruption of Ro raid. \n- You now only need one flagged player to initiate the 18-man Kunark Monster Mission raid: Fall of an Empire. \n- The invaders that breach the walls into the Stronghold of Rage will be a bit less easy \nto split. \n\n\n*** Missions *** \n\n- Increased the distance that the Dwarf armies must be from basecamp in The Defense of Thurgadin \nmonster mission before they return to full combat potential. Units moving to forward locations \nare guaranteed to be back in combat states when they reach their destinations but may still be \nthinking of resting while they are in transit. \n- Dain`s Historian Duggans will now review with you which of his missions you have completed and \nturned in a seal for that mission. Simply ask him to \"Review\" the Coldain History you have studied. \n- Corrected an issue that could cause you to not get credit for finishing the mission \"Train\" \nif you were charmed when it completed. \n- Corrected an issue that could cause the mission \"Creepy Concerto\" to not update properly if \nthere were pets or auras in the mission. \n\n\n*** Zones *** \n\n- The Guild Lobby is now available to everyone, whether they own Dragons of Norrath or not. \n- Added a guild hall port stone to Arcstone. \n- Added an Augment Sealer Pool to Arcstone. \n- Fixed a number of crashes that could occur with older graphics cards in Anguish and Muramite \nProving Grounds. \n- The portal out of Veeshan's Peak will now take you to the proper version of Freeport. \n- Fixed a problem that was causing NPCs to fall under the world in Dawnshroud Peaks. \n- Creatures in Devastation now travel in smaller packs and are slightly weaker than before. \n- The portal to Dranik's Scar from East Freeport has a visual effect again. \n- The entrances to Paineel and The Hole can be lock picked once again. \n- The Hunter/Forager cycle in Trakanon's Teeth should no longer spawn multiple copies of the same \ncreatures. \n- Corrected an issue that could cause several non-targetable creatures to attack you in Halls of \nHonor. \n- Casting Succor in Grimling Forest will no longer put you under the world. \n- Fixed a problem with the Guild Hall Portal that could cause the teleport confirmation window to \ndisplay the incorrect target zone. \n- Fixed an issue in Illsalin that was causing groups of arena combatants not to despawn after the \nevent. \n- You should no longer get stuck behind the grate leading into Dranik Sewers. \n- Kerra Ridge should now be much friendlier to lower level adventurers. \n\n\n*** NPCs *** \n\n- Updated the character models for many NPCs throughout the world. This includes changing \nIllusion: Werewolf to use the new werewolf model. \n- The corpse summoners in the guild lobby are no longer fooled by shrouding down to lower \nlevels before handing in a soul stone. \n- Creatures without legs have lost the ability to kick. \n- The treants in Theater of Blood that have been shedding hooves and horse meat will no longer \ndo so. \n- Lowered the hit points and increased the respawn time of the door that leads from Devastation \ninto Stronghold of Rage to make access to Stronghold of Rage easier. \n- The angry and hurt Faydedar that Dolgin helps people bait no longer has any viable meat on \nhim. \n-Terrorantula's children should no longer warp across the desert. \n- Summoning a horse should no longer upset nearby NPCs. \n\n\n*** Maps *** \n\n- Cartographers have been very busy. Numerous map fixes made. \n- The map window now has an option to display your group mates. \n\n\n*** UI *** \n\n- The default size for the barter and bazaar windows has been increased. \n- You can now filter the barter window by seller name. \n- The guild window should now display information properly for guilds with over 999 members. \n\n\n*** Miscellaneous *** \n\n- We've now upgraded to DirectX 9.0c! \n- Many pathing issues have been resolved.

One of the primary benefits of \nthis change is that channels now support cross-server and cross-game functionality. EQIM will no \nlonger work with this change however we do intend to remedy this situation if possible in the future. \n- Luclin character models are now available to everyone, whether they own Shadows of Luclin or not. \n- Increased the amount of experience you gain toward your shroud progression when you kill an \nNPC as a shroud. In addition, you will now gain more experience toward your evolving item when \nyou are in a group, similar to how normal experience works. This does not affect the evolving\ntradeskill trophies, which don't gain experience from killing creatures. \n- Fixed a number of rendering anomalies that could occur throughout the game. \n- Targeting corpses should now be much easier and much less confusing. \n- Item links can now be sent across Universal Chat channels! \n- Ogre females using voice emotes for Agree and Disagree will now play the proper voices. \n- Player and NPC names should now be rendering correctly at all times when they are overlapping. \n\n\n\n\n\n- The EverQuest Team","content_hash":"2c4e48b3a9afe0dd1fe0f158ce9ae9ef44be4aa67fd2b239125f139b23c8a52b","source_files":["patches-2006-1.txt","patches_1999-2008_combined.md","patches_1999-2010_combined.txt"],"source_titles":["June 13, 2006"],"source_url":null,"source_urls":[],"occurrence_count":3,"source_occurrences":[{"occurrence_id":"6d8e5ad9104e6d5f53fa976ff7f26c16cd6d8cf994f0a10536a4cdaac5df1ff8","filename":"patches_1999-2008_combined.md","adapter":"markdown","source_offset":826691,"item_index":null,"heading":"June 13, 2006","source_url":null,"source_url_raw":null,"published":null,"source_kind":"markdown","excerpt":false,"year_inferred":false},{"occurrence_id":"e182825c84d73559477729596de41f0afae86e204a4cd07e6c610a2ed09df295","filename":"patches_1999-2010_combined.txt","adapter":"text","source_offset":847974,"item_index":null,"heading":"June 13, 2006","source_url":null,"source_url_raw":null,"published":null,"source_kind":"text","excerpt":false,"year_inferred":false},{"occurrence_id":"f091e7cc29436edc2759cb0f0958cc6774a79de57abe3df5b6f4aa25c4cdd71e","filename":"patches-2006-1.txt","adapter":"text","source_offset":38990,"item_index":null,"heading":"June 13, 2006","source_url":null,"source_url_raw":null,"published":null,"source_kind":"text","excerpt":false,"year_inferred":false}],"year_inferred":false,"sequence":1,"slug":"2006-06-13-1","id":"2006-06-13-1"},{"patch_date":"2005-10-27","effective_date":"2005-10-27","display_date":"October 27, 2005","title":"October 27, 2005","year":2005,"month":10,"kind":"live","era":"EverQuest Live","expansion":"Depths of Darkhollow","expansion_code":"depths-of-darkhollow","categories":[{"slug":"bug-fixes","label":"Bug Fixes"},{"slug":"classes","label":"Classes"},{"slug":"spells-aa","label":"Spells & AA"},{"slug":"items","label":"Items"},{"slug":"zones-npcs","label":"Zones & NPCs"},{"slug":"quests-events","label":"Quests & Events"},{"slug":"tradeskills","label":"Tradeskills"},{"slug":"ui","label":"UI"},{"slug":"pvp","label":"PvP"},{"slug":"servers","label":"Servers"},{"slug":"audio-graphics","label":"Audio & Graphics"}],"sections":["Headliners","New Default UI Skin","Events and Seasonal Festivities","Community Summit Related Items","Audio Triggers","The other controls include","Notes on customizing Audio Triggers","Shrouds/Monster Missions","Items","Tradeskills","NPCs","Quests","UI","Miscellaneous","Chat","Pets","Regen","PvP","Evolving Items","Spells","Skills"],"change_count":65,"word_count":1836,"summary":"Headliners *** New Default UI Skin *** We have updated the default UI skin with new art and icons!

This is the same artwork \nthat has been on display on our Escape to Norrath server (www.escapetonorrath.com) \nand our test server. For those of you that prefer to use the old default UI Skin, \nyou can type /loadskin default_old in your chat window and it will allow you to use \nthe old default UI. \n\n\n*** Events and Seasonal Festivities *** \n\n- Zigan Ribshard in the Plane of Knowledge has a few friends he?d like you to meet. \nSpeak with him for more information regarding seasonal festivities. \n\n\nCommunity Summit Related Items: \n\n- There is a new filter option on the guild bank to narrow your search. \n- Added a \"guildbank\" argument to /outputfile, allowing a player to dump the guild \nbank to disk. NOTE: This can only be used in the Guild Hall. \n- Players should now be able to withdraw items from the Guild Bank deposit area (if \nthey're a Guild Banker). \n- Added Stun and Strikethrough filters/color selectors. \n- Players now have an option in the options window to determine whether or not they \nwant other players to see them with their helm. \"Show My Helm\" \n- EverQuest now uses the system mouse. While in windowed mode you can freely move \nthe mouse around as you can with any other application running in a window. \nMouse pointer customization can be done on a UISkin level. Just make your own .cur \nfiles with the appropriate names. (Please see the default directory for the .cur names.) \n- There's a new command to launch a web browser from the chat window. Just type /www \nand check it out. Also for additional flexibility, /url is available. \n- There's a new command to launch an application. Check out /system for usage. \n\n\nNew arena zone headed to Stormhammer! \n\n- Please be aware that if you login to Stormhammer and download the new arena.eqg, \nthat file will need to be deleted if you want to login to a server other than Stormhammer. \nThis file is located in your EverQuest root directory. \n\n- Raid invites can now be done across zones via \"/raidinvite name\" \n- Bandaging other players will appear to give a healing effect again. \n\n\n*** Audio Triggers *** \n\nAudio triggers are sound effects that are played when certain patterns appear in the \nchat window. You can make audio triggers to play any sound you want when something \nyou want to be sure not to miss appears in the chat window. This might be /tells from \nspecific friends, certain buffs fading, or any other event you can think of that has a \ntext message associated with it. The window used to configure your Audio Triggers can \nbe accessed via the EQ button -> Actions -> Audio Triggers. \n\nThere are a couple key ideas that make up Audio Triggers. \n\nAudio Triggers are a collection of text patterns associated with a sound effect. \nThe window shows a list of all active audio triggers. They are sorted by priority \nso that the first pattern that matches text in the chat window will be the one and \nonly sound that is played. This allows patterns to be made, for example, \"tells you\" \nand \"yourbuddy tells you\" that may have different sound effects. The \"Move Up\" and \n\"Move Down\" commands allow you to control which patterns will be tested first. \n\nCreating a new trigger is a simple matter of typing text in the \"Pattern\" field, \nselecting a sound in the \"Sound\" control, and pressing \"Create\". \n\nThe other controls include: \n\n* Apply - changes the sound selected for the current pattern. Note that changing a \npattern requires a new pattern to be made. \n* Play - plays the currently selected sound again. \n* Delete - delete the currently selected trigger. \n\nTrigger Sets \n\nTrigger Sets are similar to choosing a UI skin. Each trigger set represents a set of \npatterns associated with sounds that is stored on a per-character basis. You can \nswitch trigger sets by selecting the drop-down control and selecting among the listed \noptions. Unless you have installed custom Audio Trigger sets, you will only see the \n\"default\" entry. \n\nEach trigger set is stored as a folder in the AudioTrigger folder in your EverQuest \ndirectory which can contain .wav files unique to that trigger set. The goal here is \nto provide a way for the player community to create and share their own Audio Trigger \nsets that people find useful for different classes or play styles, much like they have \ndone for custom UI skins. \n\nAn example of a useful trigger set may be a set of patterns \nThere are many possibilities. Due to the differences in play styles, there is no \nway to predict what settings people might prefer so the default settings are empty. \nWe encourage players to discover and share ways to make this a fun part of their \ngameplay. \n\nNotes on customizing Audio Triggers: \n\n* Any .wav files found in the folder .\\AudioTriggers\\shared will be made available \nto all Audio Trigger sets in the Sound selection control. You will probably want to \nput most of your custom sounds in this folder, unless you are making custom Audio \nTrigger sets. \n* Creating a new Audio Trigger set is similar to making a new UI skin. It's not \ncomplicated but it's not built into the UI. Create a folder in \n.\\AudioTriggers\\NewTriggerSetName and put any .wav files specific to this trigger \nset in there, and you will be able to start using the new trigger set the next time \nthe program is started. \n* User settings for each Audio Trigger set can be found in \n.\\userdata\\AT_TriggerSetName_CharacterName_ServerName.ini. You can copy these \nfiles to other characters as needed. You will probably want to include a sample\nof this if you make an Audio Trigger set that you plan to share because this is \nwhat contains all the details on each specific trigger pattern and sound. \n\nThe above instructions are available in-game via the help button on the audio \ntriggers window. \n\n\n*** Shrouds/Monster Missions *** \n\n- Tribute will now be properly disabled when in shrouded form. \n- GuildTribute is now properly disabled when in shrouded form. \n- You cannot guild invite someone who is shrouded. \n- Adjusted the power scaling of Spirit Shrouds level 55 and above. As you unlock \nhigher tier shrouds you will see a larger difference in their power level. \n\n\n*** Items *** \n\n- Light Amphibian Hide Slippers now have the effect \"Form of Protection\" \n- Cultural Charms will now be able to receive augments. \n- Whisps of Potameid Hair will now drop occasionally from some of the Potameids in Jagged Pine. \n- The experience required on many of the intelligent items has been reduced significantly \nto bring them more in line with evolving items. \n\n\n*** Tradeskills *** \n\n- Charm Patterns now stack better! \n- Players will now be able to make journeyman?s charm patterns instead of cloth caps! \n- The spells Night Stalker and Night's Beckon now use the proper thickener. \n- Saltpeter and Crystallized Sulfur should drop about 10 times as often as they did \nin the past. \n- Pan Seared Orange Tuna will no longer magically transform your non stick frying pan \ninto a stew pot if you make a mistake while making it. \n- Radiant Titanite of Quickening and Pure Quickening can now be made by rogues. \n- Scribe Rikik in Rathe Mountains found the inventory that he had lost during the \nmove from Gukta. \n- The spell Light of Order will now use the proper ink. \n- The Darkhollow Geode task changed. Only Artisans will accept the Geode. \n\n\n*** NPCs *** \n\n- Cartographer Slipgear is reviewing his notes and discovered that some of his maps \nare not properly accredited. Speak with him if you have provided him with a map but \nnot received credit for it. \n- The Knight of the Dread Sun will now make his appearance more often. \n- Atheling Plague has decided that heights aren't to his tastes, so he has left his tower. \n\n\n*** Quests *** \n\n- Added a new quest to reward players for completing the mission story arcs in \nDarkhollow. Speak with the old shiliskin fortune teller in Undershore for details. \n\n\n*** UI *** \n\n- There is now a button on the Options/Display page to \"turn off\" your helm?s graphic. \n- You will now see all text color options. \n- If you cancel a coin selection and then attempt to select crystals instead, the \ncrystals will now appear on your cursor and not the coin. \n\n\n*** Miscellaneous *** \n\n- You will now be able to remove gold from your shared bank or regular bank if you \ndie with an item on your cursor. \n- When using Find to find the Fishing Supply merchant you will no longer lock up. \n- Seru's animations are now fixed. \n- If a character dies while LD, Charmed or Feared the corpse can will be able to be \ndragged by the appropriate people. \n- We have fixed any remaining issues with setting a portion of your experience to go \nto AAs and then losing regular experience. \n- Client stability fix. This specifically happened while raiding with many many \ndifferent types of particle clouds being used. \n- The issue involving the loss of a portion of a player's mana, hitpoints, and \nendurance after zoning is now fixed. \n- We have fixed the issue involved with the loss of half a player's mana, hitpoints, \nand endurance after zoning from a death. \n- Added some additional logging and error-checking to the Plane of Time. These changes \nshould address the issue where an instance would not progress past Phase 1 in some \ncircumstances. \n- Numerous raid management systems fixes have been made. \n\n\n*** Chat *** \n\n- Players in shrouded form will not auto-join class chat channels. \n\n\n*** Pets *** \n\n- Pets will once again receive HP from their items. \n\n\n*** Regen *** \n\n- Regen will work properly after becoming your main character after being a shroud. \nIksars rejoice. \n\n\n*** PvP *** \n\n- You can no longer loot an item from someone else's corpse if you kill them in an \narena. \n\n\n*** Evolving Items *** \n\n- You can now see the final result after adding an augment to an item. \n\n\n*** Spells *** \n\n- Detrimental spells will not be marked as used if used in a non-combat zone like PoK. \n- Several Ranger spells have been modified once again: \n* Ward of the Hunter - Replaced the ATK bonus, lowered the double attack bonus to 3%. \n* Howl of the Predator - Replaced the ATK bonus, lowered the double attack bonus to 3%. \n* Strength of the Hunter - Replaced the ATK bonus, removed the double attack bonus. \n- Greater Familiar is no longer an instant cast spell. \n\n\n*** Skills *** \n\n- Berserker axe throwing skills have had their timers modified.

When all settled, for a time there \nwas no sound. Firiona, Lanys, their armies, all the beasts and creatures had vanished \nfrom the grove where the curse was bound. But down at the end of the forest river \nwhere it ducked under loose stone, a way into darkness was revealed -- passage into \na subterranean world called Darkhollow. \n\nFor more details on what befell those in Nektulos Forest, see today's story entry! \n\n\n~** Depths of Darkhollow Highlights **~ \n\n** Monster Missions ** \n\n- Have you ever wondered what it must be like to be a monster in Norrath? Now you \ncan find out! Through Monster Missions, you are able to enter the bodies of a \nvariety of characters and be transported into a different time to re-enact the \npast or play a critical role in Norrath's future. These missions are found in \nDarkhollow and other areas around Norrath, like Nektulos Forest and Butcherblock. \n- While you play in a monster mission, your main character earns experience and, \nquite often, rewards! The rewards you gain from monster missions appear in the \ninventory of your main character when the mission is successfully completed. \n\n\n** Spirit Shrouds ** \n\n- Shroudkeepers have learned to channel spirits in the ethereal world. They are found \nin the Plane of Knowledge and can offer you the form of one of Norrath's creatures \nthrough a Spirit Shroud! The Shroudkeepers can transform you into creatures in various \ncategories, like Undead or Animal. The Spirit Shroud itself changes your form and \ngives you a specific set of abilities, like a fighter or healer, depending on the \nshroud you picked. Once you've selected a shroud type, you can choose to play a \ncreature of that type of any available level less than or equal to your own level. \n- While you adventure with a Spirit Shroud, you will gain experience for your main \ncharacter. When you remove your shroud, the items you collected will appear in your \nShroud Storage which is accessed at a banker. Also, as you use the Spirit Shrouds in \na particular category you will gain enough knowledge and experience to unlock new forms. \n\n\n** Evolving Items ** \n\n- As you adventure and advance in Norrath, you may find new items that will learn \nand grow right along with you! These Evolving Items change over time the more you \nuse them, including their names and statistics. These weapons and worn items are \nmarked as Evolving and will show their status in a percentage upon inspecting them.\nYou can watch that status grow as you kill monsters! When it reaches 100 percent, \npresto, you will have the next level of your item! \n\n\n** Intelligent Items ** \n\n- Imagine what some of your gear might say to you if it could talk. Now some will! \nIntelligent items, much like evolving items, are now found in Norrath and will show \ntheir status when inspected. As they grow, they change their statistics and even what \nthey say. They can talk to you and, sometimes, people around you (you can customize \nthese chat options). These items usually have something to say about your actions, \nso keep your eyes open! \n\n\n** Tradeskills ** \n\n- The gnomes of Corathus have amassed a collection of new tradeskill items. You will \nfind some vendors with books detailing javelins, food and drink, and new ways of doing \nspell research. Merchants who frequently traffic in high quality ore have been taking \na keen interest in the new ores and minerals of Darkhollow and often have surplus \navailable for purchase by others. \n- The new spell research is a totally different system that covers a large majority \nof spells that were found in Planes of Power, and Gates of Discord, though not all \nof them. The new system may seem more complex than the way you are used to doing spells, \nbut is much more systematic than the previous system and will be more consistent. \n- Additionally, there are new highly powerful augments for cultural armor? One of the \nGnomeworks is a bit damaged and if you have something of interest to him, he may be \nwilling to help you with a way to make them. Good luck! \n\n\n** AAs ** \n\n- New AAs are now available to players who own Depths of Darkhollow. \n\n\n** Spells ** \n\n- New Spells are now available to players who own Depths of Darkhollow \n\n\n~** EverQuest: Escape to Norrath **~ \n\nAre your friends bored now that the summer is coming to an end? Has their work, \nschool, or in-laws plain taken the fun out of their days? If this is the case, \ninvite your friends to Escape To Norrath to join you in your adventures throughout \nthe world of Norrath. Our new tutorial, EverQuest: Escape To Norrath, is a FREE \nstand alone experience tailored around a fun and easy to learn introduction to the \nworld of Norrath. \n\nThere are several ways to play Escape to Norrath: \n\n- Invite your friends to play EverQuest with you by using the disk included with \nyour Depths of Darkhollow box.

Join your friends and relive the \nexperience of discovering the magic of EverQuest! \n\n\n~** Other Update News **~ \n\n** [EQ] Menu Button ** \n\n- We have added new functionality to the UI. The window selector is no longer available. \nThe functionality is now neatly folded and tucked away in the [EQ] Button. Clicking on \nthe [EQ] button will extend a menu that includes the most vital and commonly used \nscreens in the game. \n\n\n** AAs ** \n\n- Based on player feedback, we?ve changed the way that Turn Undead and Turn Summoned \nwork to make it more useful in normal grouping situations. Both abilities have been \nrefunded and new versions are available for purchase. The new versions are 5-minute \nreuse, single-target DoTs that have a chance to do a massive amount of damage to the \ntargeted creature when they land, likely destroying it in one hit. The core abilities \nare still level 59 class abilities and upgrades are available at level 65 for Planes \nof Power and level 70 with Depths of Darkhollow. \n- Due to the changes to Turn Summoned and Turn Undead, the AAs that decreased their \nreuse times are no longer applicable so they have been removed and refunded. \n- The duration of Divine Avatar has been increased to 3 minutes and the reuse time \nhas been lowered to 36 minutes. \n- The reuse time on Rabid Bear has been reduced to 36 minutes. As part of this change, \nthe ability will no longer have its duration increased by focus effects. Hastened \nRabidity has been changed to lower the reuse on Rabid Bear by 4 minutes per rank. \n- Reduced the casting time on Wake the Dead and Army of the Dead. \n- Rhythmic Reflexes and Superior Rhythmic Reflexes had their double attack values \nswitched. This has now been corrected. \n\n\n** Tradeskills ** \n\n- Added some recipes to create Soy Sauce for the Chef Chowderly quest. \n- Modified the stats on numerous pieces of the Cultural Tradeskill armor. \n- The Salvage bug when using world containers has been fixed. \n- Tradeskill recipes that result in a LORE item that you already have and is not \na tool will now block with a message. \n\n\n** NPCs ** \n\n- High quality ore vendors will no longer fall for your tricks. \n- Volkara will now appear as a spider rather than a 20-foot human male. \n- NPC's in Halls of Honor should no longer gate home when there are too many pets in \nthe nearby vicinity. \n- Made a minor modification to the Mata Muram script to fix a loophole in the gaze \nlist logic. \n\n\n** Missions \n\n- Volkara will no longer grow in power if she is outside of her lair. Her encounter \nwill now be the same no matter where she is fought. \n- Kessdona's manashard guardian adds should now activate correctly and in sequence. \n- Changed the required count for the kill and loot elements on the Dragons of Norrath \nmission ?Diseased Pumas?. This change was to fix a discrepancy between the number \nof items required for task completion compared to the number of kills and items \nlooted that the task said you needed. \n\n\n** Quests ** \n\n- The Ancient Sebilite Protector in Sebilis should no longer double-spawn his helper-golems, \nand the event should despawn / reset normally again. \n\n\n** Items ** \n\n- All arrows and throwing items now are max stack size of 100. \n- All spell scrolls should now be stackable. Please note that if you try to scribe \nmore than one spell scroll at one time by using a stack of spell scrolls, that you \nwill receive an error message. You must use only one spell scroll to scribe a spell. \n\n\n** Spells ** \n\n- Modified Intensity of the Resolute so it won?t be overwritten by other, lesser \nabilities. \n\n\n** Tutorial ** \n\n- In case you missed it above, the tutorial has changed. Not only have we added new \ncontent and made it more user friendly and streamlined, we actually made it a standalone \nexperience you can give to your friends to learn how to play EverQuest. Please refer to \nthe EverQuest: Escape To Norrath website for more details: http://escapetonorrath.station.sony.com/index.vm \n\n\n** UI ** \n\n- There are now 4 Hotbutton windows that can be visible at the same time. Use the Options \nwindow to set keys for showing/hiding the windows, as well as setting keys for the \nindividual Hotbuttons in them.

We did the best we \ncould trying to reproduce the situations that have been described to us and they have been \nfixed in our test cases. Please let us know if you continue to experience an issue like this. \n- Spells such as Exodus, have a chance to fail which happens for each person that gets hit \nby the spell.

Not all hardware \ncombination have been verified to be fully functional. For those that can use it, check out \nhow cool the lighting looks in some of the old zones like the commonlands with the NPCs and \ntheir spherical light influences. It looks great. \n- The help window has been merged with the petition window. \n\n\n*** Misc *** \n\n- You will no longer get experience back from a corpse whose rez timer has expired when \nusing the Veteran AA Expedient Recovery. \n- The level restriction for entering the tutorial has been changed to allow level 10 and \nunder. \n- Fixed an old issue with particles.

This is mainly \nuseful when replying to all: it helps you add new entries to your address book or update old \nones.

The note field is preserved during the update. \n\nAddress Book Window \n-New window to edit your address book. \n-Fields for name, addresses and note. \n-Checkbox to make the entry name private, which means that during address expansion, the addresses \nwill be written as if you had selected them individually, not in the mailing list format. \n-Automatic update of the \"Guild\" entry.

If a character is logged out…","content":"*** Headlines *** \n------------------------------------ \n- A new button has been added to character select: Return Home. If a character \nhas not been played in the past 6 hours, this button is enabled and pressing it \nwill log the character into the game in their starting city. \n- If a character is logged out for more than an hour, full health, mana, and endurance \nwill be granted upon logging in. This is still a bit under development. You may not be \nquite at 100% but very close. \n- Re-envisioning has begun! \n- Over 600 Spell modifications. \n- New zone art for the character select screen and character creation. Crossing the \nbridge while in Explore mode will allow you to enter the world. Note that all characters \nare in the same area now. There are no longer class specific areas. \n- New Hot Spots!* \nThe Warrens \nNetherbian Lair \nEcho Caverns \nThe Scarlet Desert \nThe Tower of Frozen Shadow \nThe Hole \nThe Grey \nHowling Stones \nThe Halls of Betrayal (Chardok B) \n- There are 2 new keyboard shortcuts in the Command section in the Options menu, Open \nInventory Bags and Close Inventory Bags. Setting these, then using them will open/close \nall your general inventory slot bags (bag1-bag8). \n- Added a teleportation stone to Arena in Plane of Knowledge.* \n\n\n*** Re-envisioning Specifics *** \n------------------------------------ \n- Many modifications have been made to the cast times, recast times, mana costs, and \ndamage potential of many single target direct damage spells. The largest changes have \nbeen in level 1-50 spells, but many 50+ spells have been adjusted as well. These changes \nhave caused the damage-per-second potential and/or the damage-per-mana values of these \nspells to be increased and should benefit the classes who use these spells in nearly \nall cases. Note that this also includes special purpose spells such as undead and \nsummoned direct damage spells. Please check the in game descriptions for specific \nchanges.* \n- The 750 cap on mana increase spells has been removed.* \n- The hard-coded level 52 NPC cap on Fear spells has been removed. We will be adding \nnew fear spells in the near future which will allow players to fear higher level NPCs.* \n- Assassin’s Feint will now work on NPCs level 60 and higher.* \n- Spells with poison counters no longer have innate agro added. The spells themselves \nstill generate aggro based on their other properities, but you will see a reduction \nin the amount of aggro generated in many cases.* \n- NPC’s innate 20% resistance against rain spells has been removed.* \n- You will now receive messages in your chat window when you are healed by any \nheal-over-time spell. This includes both short term HOT spells as well as long term \nregen spells. You will receive the message if the spell actually gave you health back, \nso will not receive messages when at full health. These messages can be turned off \nthrough a new filter in the options window.* \n- Ranger, Beastlord, and Paladin heals have been upgraded. See the spell descriptions \nin game for details.* \n- The AC cap and percentage return on AC over the cap for monks has been increased.* \n- Increased the knock back effect on the Warrior AA Press the Attack. \n- Theft of Thought will no longer return only partial mana from NPCs over level 52. \nIn addition, the spell was changed so that it will only return as much mana as the NPC \nhas if that is less than the amount that the spell is trying to steal. So it will \nsteal 400 mana from an NPC that has 1000 mana, but it will only steal 100 mana from \na NPC that has 100 mana.* \n\n\n*** Spells, Skills & AAs *** \n------------------------------------ \n- Increased the effectiveness and decreased the casting time of the Ranger AA \nAuspice of the Hunter.* \n- Increased the amount of damage absorbed by the Bard AA Shield of Notes.* \n- Increased the damage done while using the Bard AA Dance of Blades.* \n- Added a negative resistance mod to the Shaman AA Virulent Paralysis so it is \nmore likely to land on NPCs now.* \n- Modified the proc chance on spell Lightning Channeling and Storm Channeling. \nBoth of these spells now have an increased proc chance. \n- Sound of Divinity and Sound of Might will now use their own separate shared spell \ntimer. \n- The spell enhanced learning can no longer have its duration increased by Alternate \nadvancement skills and/or focus effects. \n- Flames of the Valiant and Flames of Redemption should now proc more often and be \nresisted much less often. \n- Protection of the Wild should no longer be overwritten by Strength of the Hunter.* \n- Spirit of the Panther and Spirit of the Leopard have been modified. NPCs were \nable to trigger the effects of these spells at a much higher rate then players. \nThe rate of NPCs triggering these effects has been lowered to match PCs. Additionally, \nthe base damage of the effect has been lowered, and the spell will now only land on \nPCs and pets that are a part of your group. \n- Removed the focus effect limiters from Persuasive Gaze, the focus effect found on \nthe enchanter epic 1.5. It now works on any detrimental spells up to level 70 the \nsame way the focus effect on the enchanter epic 2.0 does.* \n- Fixed a problem with focus effects that reduce hate. It was not using the highest \neffect if more than one focus effect was worn. \n- Dragon Fang and Leopard Claw will now generate less hate. \n\n\n*** Items *** \n------------------------------------ \n- Items that have a combat or clickable spell effect that was changed due to the spell \nchanges in this patch have either had their proc rate adjusted to compensate or use a \nnew spell to maintain their damage potential. \n- The Anguish chest pieces now have additional worn mods and a new spell focus effect. \n- The Anguish wrist pieces now have additional worn mods. \n- Mirrored Mask will no longer conflict with other recast timer based items such as the \nSoul Orb. \n- Hammer of Rancorous Thoughts is now a 39/25 weapon with a 225pt proc. \n- Dragonkiller is now a 34 (+2 magic)/21 weapon. \n- Mace of Grim Tidings is a 32/22 weapon. \n- Broken Mandible of the Broodqueen is now a 12/18 weapon and has a +5% mod to backstab. \n- Fang of Kessdona now has +12% mod to backstab. \n- Crescent Palemoon now has the focus Aneuk Glare. It also has +15 avoid, +4 spell \nrune and +4 regen. \n- Aegis of the Amber Moon now has +3 shielding, +4 dot rune, +6 regen. \n- Bladewhisper Chain Gloves of Journeys now has Cleave V as the worn effect. \n- Bladewhisper Chain Legguards of Journeys now has the focus of Alacrity of the Ikaav. \n- Summoned: Burning Shank should proc more often. \n- Eye of Yar`Lir is now called “Oculus of Yar`Lir”. \n- Bracelet of the Corrupter now has +2 mana regen. \n- Wristband of Spectral Corruption now has +2 mana regen and +20 attack. \n- Bracer of Corrupted Souls now has +2 mana regen and +20 attack. \n- Bracer of the Debauched now has +2 mana regen and +20 attack. \n\n\n*** Missions, Quests & Events *** \n------------------------------------ \n- Added the following new Dragons of Norrath missions \nHouse of the Autumn Rose (Norrath's Keepers Only) \nPlunder the Hoard (Dark Reign Only) \nA Goblin's Escort \nHalfling's Treasure Map \nSignal Fires \nSudden Tremors \nThese will show up on the usual mission givers once you have enough faction. \n- Modified the shards awarded for many of the Dragons of Norrath missions to better \nreflect how long they are taking to complete. \n- Changed the adventure “The Gilded Scroll” to fix some situations that could cause \nplayers to be unable to finish the mission. Now the Noble Kirin Scholar will not \nspawn before the real scroll is found. We also fixed a problem that could, in very \nrare cases, cause the real scroll not to be placed on an NPC. \n- The corrupted drake adds in the Vishimtar encounter will now respawn correctly \nafter a failure. \n- Made a change to Burning Woods that should reduce the number of NPCs that get \nstuck under the world . This should make the hornets easier to find. \n- Increased the drop rate for the Collector's Fire Hornet Wing and Collector's Iksar \nWitch Doll. \n- We've extended the 6th anniversary scavenger hunt so that it will be available \nthrough Sunday, the 17th. \n- Changes were made to all Muramite Proving Ground trials. The major changes are: \nAdaptation is slightly easier, the trial of Ingenuity was significantly changed, \nand NPC resists in all single group trials were lowered. \n- Corrected a problem that was causing some NPCs in the Muramite Proving Grounds to \nshow up in the wrong part of the zone. \n- In the Citadel of Anguish it's no longer possible to fight Arch Mage Vangl without \ncompleting the Keldovan, Jelvan, and Hanvar events first. \n- The Warden Hanvar encounter has been made more challenging; you may wish to bring \nsome extra allies with you. \n- Beware, if you are too close to a wall the swarm adds in the Mata Muram encounter \nwill spawn directly on top of you. \n- Increased the drop rate for the Tongue of the Zun’muram off Zun’Murum Tkarish Zyk \nin Txevu. \n- Changed the quest that gives alternative access to Txevu. When you hail the golem \nat the end of Inktu`ta it will check your items and flags and do the following: \nIf you do not yet have a Qvic flag, the golem will give you the Splinter of the High \nTemple. \nIf you do have a Qvic flag, the golem will give you whichever High Temple pieces you \nare missing. \nIf you already have a Txevu flag, the Cipher of Txevu item, or all three fragments of \nthe High Temple, the golem will ignore you. \nLikewise, when you complete the Qvic backflag, if you have the Splinter of the High \nTemple from completing Inktu`ta you will automatically receive whichever High Temple \npieces you are missing. \nThis change allows the combination of Inktu`ta and the Qvic backflag quest to count \nfor Txevu access and the two can be completed in any order. This change is not retroactive. \n- A bug was fixed so that Alkron Wyrmsong will no longer give bards a cloth cap when \nan error is made during the quest for Epic 2.0 \n\n\n*** NPCs *** \n------------------------------------ \n- Modified King Xorbb in Beholder. He will now drop Slime Crystal Staff 100% of the time. \n- Players can no longer attempt to give stacks of items to NPCs. The NPC would treat the \nstack as one item and you would lose the rest. There is now a check to help with people \nputting in a stack of items and losing them. \n- Items given to an NPC by a PC will no longer count as a Task item when looted. \n- NPC pathing code has been reviewed and some changes have been made which should \nprevent NPCs from becoming stuck and eventually becoming invisible. Please let us know \nif you see this happen any more. \n- The Cube Fragments in the Gates of Discord Sewer trials will no longer get stuck in \nthe geometry. \n- The Soulbinder at the Firiona Vie outpost is now able to bind you to that area. \n\n*** Tradeskills *** \n------------------------------------ \nWe have changed the chance to gain a skill up when using tradeskills. Previously there \nwas a large increase in the average number of combines needed for a skill increase for \nskill values of 160 through 190. This made sense when 200 was the skill cap. We have \nchanged the algorithm to remove the harsh spike in combines required for skill ups \nfrom 160 to 190, making it a more reasonable to increase all the way up to 300. For \nmore details please see the post here: \nhttp://eqforums.station.sony.com/eq/board/message?board.id=Trade&message.id=5800 \n- Alabaster Beak and Ivory Stormrider Canine are now marked as usable in tradeskills. \n- Dragons of Norrath brewing items now drop off NPCs. They were only available through \nforaging before. \n- Added the race name to the Unfired Cookie Cutters. New item names are: Unfired \nBarbarian Cookie Cutter, Unfired Gnome Cookie Cutter, Unfired Troll Cookie Cutter \nand Unfired Animal Cookie Cutter. \n- Added the recipes for four cookie cutters for Luclin beasties. The sketches and \nmolds should be easily found on vendors. \n- Added the appropriate effects to Dragons of Norrath potions. \n- The recipe for dough made from Rock Hopper Egg now uses Rockhopper Egg. It turns \nout that there were two items with similar names, but the one used in the recipe \ndoesn't drop in game. \n- Removed the recipe for chain jointing that was used in Planes of Power armor. This \nrecipe was removed because the jointing is no longer used in any recipes. \n- You will now only need to collect half the number of items for the level 65+ Vah \nShir racial armor pattern book quest. \n\n\n*** Server stability *** \n------------------------------------ \n- We believe we have corrected the problem with the excessive server lag that has \nbeen happening in most raid zones. A guild from one of our live servers was willing \nto come over to our test server and verify the raid in pofire was working properly \nwithout causing the zone to lag out. They were able to complete many of the stages\nof the raid successfully and even multiple times without issue. There was one instance \nof a mob warping after getting in a bad location, but we have made vast improvements \nfrom its current state. We have also improved our logging code to better detect similar \nproblems should they occur again in the future. Please let us know if you experience \nany problems related to this. \n- The memory leak problems that have recently been affecting the world servers has had \nmuch progress. Several memory leaks related to the previous update have been corrected, \nand server stability has improved measurably as a result. We will continue to monitor \nthe servers closely for memory leak issues. \n- A zone crash in Chardokb related to the Korucust encounter has been fixed. \n- A zone crash related to guild tribute being toggled while a player was being charmed \nor feared has been fixed. \n\n\n*** Chat filtering *** \n------------------------------------ \n- Pet responses to commands (except for /pet leader) are no longer broadcast, but go \nonly to the owner of the pet.* \n- Pet responses to commands can now have a selected color and be redirected to any chat \nwindow.* \n- Pet spell-casting messages can now have a selected color, be redirected to any chat \nwindow, and be filtered to not show at all.* \n- Assassinate, Deadly Strike, Slay Undead, and Finishing Blow messages will now be \ndisplayed in the Melee Critical message color and redirect/filter as other crits.* \n\n\n*** Mail System *** \n------------------------------------ \n- You now have quick access to all of your character mailboxes on the current server \nfrom any of your characters. \n\n\n*** Title Suffixes *** \n------------------------------------ \n- The title system now supports title suffixes. The first use of this new feature are \nthe server titles. \n\n\n*** Guild Hall (Guilds) *** \n------------------------------------ \n- Added a guild tribute master to the guild hall. \n- The guild bank no longer accepts NORENT items. \n- Fixed a bug that allowed players with out the proper flags to remove items from the \nGuild bank. \n- Using any Eye of Zomm type spells in a guild hall will no longer take the client to \nserver select. \n\n\n*** Bazaar/Barter *** \n------------------------------------ \n- Added and Augment pool and Augment Solvent Merchant in the Bazaar. \n- Added new search criteria to the Bazaar search: min level, max level. Any items \nwhich match all other search criteria, yet have a rec or req level outside the boundaries \nset in the new fields will not be returned by the search. \n- The barter UI code has been improved. There were some issues related to keeping the \nclient properly synchronized with the server which have been fixed. It now more \naccurately tracks changes in inventory when multiple players are interacting with a \nbuyer. Also, if a buyer has a LORE item, any buy-lines that require the LORE item will \nnow automatically disable because the buyer would not be able to complete the \ntransaction (because it would result in two lore items on the buyer). Previously \nthis was causing a client-server sync issue that would result in a player being \ndisconnected. \n- Barter Search Window: Right-clicking on the item sought by Buyers found in a search \nwill display that item.

You will \nnow be able to activate both the /buyer commands and the /trader commands \nin the Bazaar zone. In addition to this change, we have made a few other \nchanges for your convenience. \n\n- Removed the zone line from the Bazaar to the Barter zone. \n- Added a zone-line from the Bazaar to the Plane of Knowledge. \n- The Barter zone entrance in the Plane of Knowledge will now teleport \nyou to the Bazaar zone. \n- Barter search on Firiona should not filter the NODROP items that aren't \nNODROP on Firiona. \n- Right-clicking on a merchant-name in the UI will now create a find-path \nto the merchant. \n- Right-click in the Bazaar / Barter search now closes your current find \npath, and if the timer has expired, generates a new find path to the \nBuyer / Trader indicated on the line which was right-clicked. \n- The map has been updated with more information, specifically which areas \nof the zone allow you to be a /buyer and which allow you to be a /trader. \n\nThe Barter zone is still active, so those of you who are camped out in the \nzone will be able to log in just fine, though you will want to migrate to \nthe Bazaar in order to set up your buyer. Please make sure that you are not \nweighed down with coin and items before leaving the zone, or you may find \nyourself unable to move. \n\n*** Spell & Skill Changes *** \n--------------------------------- \n\n- Moved the contact abilities on spells Spirit of the Leopard and Spirit of \nthe Panther to avoid a stacking conflict with the berserker epic effect. \n- Monk Return Kick and Double Riposte AAs can now be triggered on the same attack. \n- Combat abilities will now always hit creatures that require magical weapons. \n- The Berserker ability Rage of Volley has been modified so that it will hit \nmagic required NPCs regardless of the axe that's equipped. \n- Increased the charges on the items summoned by Molten Orb and Lava Orb from \n3 to 10, and increased the mana cost on the spells that summon them. \n- Summoned Lava Orbs, Molten Orbs, Shadow Orbs, and Soul Orbs are now no drop \non the Firiona Vie server. \n- The recourse effect of the shadow knight epic 1.5 and 2.0 effects should now go \nto the short duration buff box. \n- The monk 1.5 and 2.0 effects will now heal for approximately as many hit points \nas the buff adds to your maximum hit points. \n\n*** Item changes *** \n--------------------------------- \n- The following items have been made No-Drop: \n\n\nPotted Dark Lady \nAncient Tooth of Archanalia \nScrap of Dark Cloth \nDeformed Dragon Embryo \nSilvery Dragon Scale Fragments \nGolden Dragon Scale Fragments \nMetallic Dragon Shell Fragments \nRuined Dragon egg \nDesiccated Drake Corpse \nShattered Draconic Symbol \nDark Dragon Scale \nCracked Lavaspinner Egg \nFragments of Zebeker's Bone Chips \nBlack Wing Drake Talons \nEgg of a Saved Clutch \nFrothing Drake Blood \nMottled Goblin Meat \nLavaspinner's Silk \n\n- The crystals used as points for Norrath's Keepers and Dark Reign are once \nagain tradeable on all servers. \n- Hammer of Delusions effect has been changed to Euphoria. \n- Shadow Orb can now be in a stack of 5. \n- Chests in Skyfire for the Veeshan's Peak access quests should now be available \nfor 30 minutes after being dropped by the defeated NPC. \n- Harbinger Spire Blueprints now drop more often. \n- Stone of Marking will no longer be used if a player can not bind in that area. \n\n*** Quests, Missions & Events *** \n--------------------------------- \n- Added a quest to Corrigan Hawthorne in the Bazaar to award PvP points for \nlegacy Sullon Zek insignias. \n- Decreased difficulty of the Megalodon encounter in Lake Rathe. \n- NPCs will now offer you missions based on your average group level rather than \nthe level of the player requesting the mission. \n- Added a fix for the problem of a player in the process of zoning when the \nmission is completed not being given the reward; when finished zoning he will \nthen receive the reward. \n- We've changed the way that corpse lock works when an NPC is killed by someone \nin a shared task. You should no longer see corpses locked to a shared task when \nyou are killing NPCs not related to a shared task. \n\n*** Tradeskills *** \n--------------------------------- \n- The trivial values of many tradeskill recipes have been modified, please make \nsure to check your recipe lists. \n- The Dragons of Norrath Tradeskill Quest NPC's will now accurately recognize \nyour ability to wear the armor they're helping you craft. \n\n*** Email *** \n--------------------------------- \n- We will now be using the mail system to send players notifications. The first \nuse of this is with the messages you get when you reach certain levels. \n- Mail composition window gives focus to the first empty field (To, Subject, Msg, \nin that order). \n- The delete action now reselects the position of the first item in the deleted \nselection. Same for undelete. \n- Players may now map a key to toggle the display of the mail window. \n\n*** Guild Hall *** \n--------------------------------- \n- You can now assign guild banker status even if the guild member is not online. \n- The merchant music will stop when you close the guild bank window now. \n- Guild bank lists are now sortable (note that the permissions field sorts by \npermission type from most public to least public and vice versa, not alphabetically) \n- If you logged out in the guild hall, it will no longer send you to last your \nadventure/expedition zone in point. \n\n*** Miscellaneous *** \n--------------------------------- \n- Guild masters will once again allow to you get started with your training in \nResearch, Alchemy, Poison Making, and Tinkering. \n- Hastening of the Aneuk had a typo in the name.

Visibility should be greatly improved in many of these zones \nand rain will generally be more infrequent. Seasonal changes from rain to snow \nhave also been incorporated into these zones as appropriate. In addition, we've \nincreased the visibility in all zones when it is raining or snowing. \n- Added a new command, /tasktimers, which will display a list of shared tasks \nand how long you must wait before you can undertake that shared task again. This \nwill be incorporated into the task window in the near future but we wanted to make \nthe functionality available to players as soon as possible. \n- Fixed the bug where players would appear with someone else's pet after zoning. \n- Fixed an issue where a Link Dead player is killed, the killer will no longer be \nable to loot an item. \n- Zek players will now be able to begin the process of selecting a new server to \nhave all characters on their account moved to. \n\nThose Zek players who have already executed the /movelog command will be moved to \nthe server they chose, unless that server was Solusek Ro or Kane Bayle. Zek players \nwho chose either of these servers will need to execute the command again, choosing \na new server. \n\nIf you have changed your mind as to which server you would like to move to, the \n/movelog UI (after Thursdays update) will have a disregard button. Using the \ndisregard button will cancel any pending movelog requests and allow you to execute \na new movelog request. \n\nWe will begin processing the movelog requests on Friday night (March 4th) and \nwill continue nightly for a period of 30 days. Any accounts that have executed \nthe movelog request will need to make certain they have no corpses in the world. \nIf you have a shared bank already in use on your destination server, you will need \nto empty either shared bank out as only one will be available after the movelog \nis complete. \n\n-- The EverQuest Team","content_hash":"9ca90786a3deeeca6080b807b55b5c9bd6e809a54a532139ea283d2d84cae96e","source_files":["patches-2005-1.txt","patches_1999-2008_combined.md","patches_1999-2010_combined.txt"],"source_titles":["March 3, 2005"],"source_url":null,"source_urls":[],"occurrence_count":3,"source_occurrences":[{"occurrence_id":"787e1563a28f8319f56e5a1973795f1a3dc4df995ea56e2bd6357d989d233105","filename":"patches_1999-2008_combined.md","adapter":"markdown","source_offset":685132,"item_index":null,"heading":"March 3, 2005","source_url":null,"source_url_raw":null,"published":null,"source_kind":"markdown","excerpt":false,"year_inferred":false},{"occurrence_id":"3503eabefc1e14681f7510f4ceb5815f511668502c8dea749e33ad37cfff25c6","filename":"patches_1999-2010_combined.txt","adapter":"text","source_offset":704171,"item_index":null,"heading":"March 3, 2005","source_url":null,"source_url_raw":null,"published":null,"source_kind":"text","excerpt":false,"year_inferred":false},{"occurrence_id":"ff9be1e7760aae7e2e7d73749587c02930c0d2d25824cf653cd79cd87857183b","filename":"patches-2005-1.txt","adapter":"text","source_offset":15977,"item_index":null,"heading":"March 3, 2005","source_url":null,"source_url_raw":null,"published":null,"source_kind":"text","excerpt":false,"year_inferred":false}],"year_inferred":false,"sequence":1,"slug":"2005-03-03-1","id":"2005-03-03-1"},{"patch_date":"2005-02-15","effective_date":"2005-02-15","display_date":"February 15, 2005","title":"February 15, 2005","year":2005,"month":2,"kind":"live","era":"EverQuest Live","expansion":"Dragons of Norrath","expansion_code":"dragons-of-norrath","categories":[{"slug":"bug-fixes","label":"Bug Fixes"},{"slug":"classes","label":"Classes"},{"slug":"items","label":"Items"},{"slug":"zones-npcs","label":"Zones & NPCs"},{"slug":"quests-events","label":"Quests & Events"},{"slug":"tradeskills","label":"Tradeskills"},{"slug":"ui","label":"UI"},{"slug":"audio-graphics","label":"Audio & Graphics"},{"slug":"expansions","label":"Expansions"}],"sections":["Welcome to Dragons of Norrath!","Features","Bandolier","Potion Belt","The Barter Zone","The Guild Lobby and the Guild Hall","Guild Lobby","Guild Hall","Missions","Live Patch Information"],"change_count":33,"word_count":2053,"summary":"Welcome to Dragons of Norrath! ** A series of events has transpired across the world of Norrath and the familiar faces of Firiona Vie and her nemesis Lanys T'Vyl return to find themselves at the forefront of the events.

During our Community Summit this last summer, and in \nmany subsequent discussions, we have heard the recurring desire to find \na way to ease the frustrations associated with this backflagging. \n\nWhile the issue is not as simple as removing flags altogether (we feel \nflags are necessary for the zones they are currently attached to), we \nhave looked into ways that we can reduce the frustrations of \nbackflagging and feel that we have arrived at a fair and equitable \nsolution, which is detailed below. \n\n- A new implementation of the 85/15 rule has been introduced into \nPlanes of Power zones including the Plane of Time. This should resolve \nthe outstanding problems that occur from time to time with the current \n85/15 implementation. \n\n- The new 85/15 has also been introduced for the locked zones in Gates \nof Discord. \n\n- An alternate means of flagging guild mates for locked content in \nPlanes of Power and Gates of Discord has been implemented that will \nallow you to flag raid members for the zone you are in by completing \nraid content within that zone. \n\nThe implementation varies slightly from zone to zone to fit the story \nand nature of the zone, but in general will involve killing a raid \ntarget within that zone, looting an item, and completing a single group \nquest to change that item into a zone flag. This only applies to zones \nthat don't already have a single group task or system to gain access. \n\nAA Changes \n___________________________\n\n- Reduced the cost of many Gates AAs. Players will receive a refund \nequal to the difference on AAs that now have a lower cost. * \n\n- Changed the monk AA Crippling Strike to an activated ability that \ndoes an eagle strike attack as well as a snare. \n\n- Changed the monk AA Stunning Kick to an activated ability that does a \nround kick attack as well as a stun. \n\n- Changed the monk AA Eye Gouge to an activated ability that does a \ntiger claw attack as well as reduces the targets offensive ability. \n\n- Due to major changes in how these work, AA points for Crippling \nStrike, Stunning Kick, and Eye Gouge have been refunded. \n\n- Reduced the reuse time of the Ranger AAs Frost Arrow and Flame Arrow \nto 3 minutes. * \n\n- Hobble of Spirits will now stack with the Beastlord's proc buffs. * \n\n- Fixed problem with the Beastlord AA Bestial Alignment where if you \nhad maxed buffs this AA would not reset if it did not take. \n\n- Duration enhancement focuses and AAs should now increase the duration \nof pet buffs. \n\n- If your stored AA's go above 30, they will no longer be set to 30 \nwhen you zone. However, you should still not be able to gain more than \n30 unless you get a refund, get the AA from a GM, or get an AA from a \nscript. * \n\n- Fixed an issue with Half Elf Paladins of Tunare and the Origin AA. * \n\n- If your character was created before EQ started storing starting \nlocation data, when you log into the game you will now be prompted to \nchoose your home city from a list of valid starting locations for your \ncharacter. You will only need to do this once and once this has been \nset, it cannot be changed. This will correct the problems with the \nOrigin AA not returning some characters to their expected home city. \n\nZone and NPC Changes \n___________________________ \n\n- Hot Spots have been moved (level ranges are approximate): * \nShadeweaver’’s Thicket 1-30 \nKurn’s Tower 10-25 \nUnrest 15-30 \nCrystal Caverns 25-35 \nSolusek’s Eye 25-45 \nKatta Castellum 30-60 \nLower Guk 35-55 \nNagafen’s Lair 40-55 \nUmbral Plains 50-60 \n\n- Respawn time for the bosses in Tacvi has been increased from 3 to 5 \ndays. \n\n- Some Tacvi loot has been upgraded. Bosses now drop more items per \nkill and some all new items have been added to the zone. * \n\n- An alternate entrance into Tacvi has been added in Txevu that will \nallow guilds to bypass the Zun’Muram after they have defeated him at \nleast once. Guilds that have previously defeated the Zun’Muram will \nneed to do so at least once more before they can use the new entrance. * \n\n- Gilipus of Ak`Anon has joined the Beta Neutral Faction. You will now \nbe able to complete his quest without having to raise Gem Choppers \nFaction. \n\n- The 3 Tormentors in the Jelvan event now share hatelist when idle or \naggro. Anyone that is on one Tormentor's hatelist, but not on the other \n2 Tormentor's hatelist will be added. This should make it difficult (if \nnot impossible) to avoid AOEs. \n\n- Modified the Warden Hanvar event, all guards should appear in their \nappointed places. \n\n- Fixed a bug in Anguish that could make Warden Hanvar unkillable. \n\n- Clicking on the door to Anguish while having the Seal: Mastery of All \non your person will now prompt red text indicating your flag has been \ngranted. \n\n- The respawn of Globes of Discordant Energy are now tracked on the \nevent timer for Anguish. The method for obtaining the Globes has not \nchanged. \n\n- The pile of stones that was used as a secondary zone between Dranik \nand Bloodfields has been removed. There is now an actual zoneline \nthere. \n\n- Plane of Justice - previously, you could not click the red teleports \nto leave the Seventh Hammer's room unless the Seventh Hammer was dead \n(or not up). This has been changed so you can leave the room as long as \nit is not aggro. If you click on a portal while he is aggro, you should \nget a message and remain in the room. \n\n- Grennet Stormhand in North Qeynos is no longer a task master since he \nis part of a quest. His task master job has been taken over by Jorren \nBoxmover. \n\n- Increased the maximum duration for all Labyrinth Trials from 1 hour \nto 2 hours. When an event is successfully completed, the instance will \nshut down in 30 minutes. If it is failed, the instance will shut down \nin 5 minutes. \n\n- Changed the reclusive Girplan event in Bloodfields so that each NPC \nin the sequence stays up for 15 minutes instead of 3 minutes before \ndepopping. \n\n- Elemental NPCs are once again Charmable in Bastion of Thunder. \n\nEpic Alterations \n___________________________\n\n- Updated some text to clarify what is needed for the bard epic 2.0. * \n\n- Part of the rogue epic that could be skipped has been repaired as \nthis was not intended to be possible. \n\n- The zonewide shout that occurs when killing base pop NPCs in the \nspecial instance of Vxed for the paladin epic has now been removed. \n\n- Added another check to the monk epic to make sure that the monk \nlooting the item also has the Mark of Justice needed to access the 7th \nHammer's area. \n\n- More details regarding the combine for the Beastlord Epic 2.0 have \nbeen added to the text. * \n\n- Fixed the hand in to Uisima for the Ranger Epic 1.5. \n\n- Added a hint to the Druid Epic 2. * \n\n- In the Hider Event in Frontier Mountains for the Druid Epic 1.5, the \ngoblins should teleport a bit less frequently. * \n\n- Additional lore has been added to the rogue epic 2.0. * \n\n- Moved the Dark Huntress from Mistmoore to the Tower of Frozen Shadow. \n\n- Changed a few of Lirprin's dialogues to hint at where the last few \nsteps are that players are missing. * \n\n- Arly Golyeck in Paludal caverns will now accept bribes from half-\nelves, or those that are in half-elven illusion while also wearing a \nBurnoose of the Halfbreed. \n\nTradeskill Changes \n___________________________ \n\n- The Tradeskill window will now allow up to 500 favorites (up from \n100). * \n\n- The drop rate of spiderling silk has been increased, as there are \nmany new combines that require this item as a component. * \n\n- The Rune of Zephyr should now drop off of the appropriate level of \nNPC’s. * \n\n- Several Tradeskill recipes have had their missing ingredients added \nto the game. These items will now drop off of appropriate NPC’s. * \n\n- Increased the drop rate of Tae Ew Scales. * \n\n- Increased the drop rate of Putrescent Blood. * \n\n- Made several quest-related combines \"Learnable\". * \n\n- Fixed a few grammatical issues with the \"Forge of Icewell Arms\" book. \n\n- Fixed an issue with one of the Abysmal Sea tradeskill books (The \nBeauty of a Simple Stone). It should now be able to be read. \n\n- Fixed the recipe for the Imbued Northman Kite Shield (Rallos). \n\n- Fixed the research recipe for Malosini, it should now combine \nproperly. \n\n- Fixed the recipe for Tuna Rice Surprise, it will now return the Wok \non success. \n\n- Fixed the Large Sandblasted Steel Girth, it is now usable by the \nappropriate races. \n\n- Fixed the Sandblasted Ringmail Bracelet, it is now usable by the \nappropriate races. \n\n- Fixed the multiple-recipes for Vegetable Oil, they will now return \nthe correct yields. \n\n- Fixed the disparity in between the cast-times on the various \"Greater \nElixir of Concentration\" potions. \n\n- Added the Blood Treated Kaniz Hide to the game. \n\n- Added a recipe for players to create a package of vegetables. * \n\n- Added a \"Fully Charged Gnomish Vanishing Device\" to the game. * \n\n- Added LDoN Foraged items to the Interactive Objects in all LDoN zones \n(this includes the foraged alchemy components). * \n\n- Removed the lore tag from the Smithing Chisel. * \n\n- Taught Barbarians how to make Large Leather Gorgets and Pants. * \n\n- Evaluated the PoP Smithing disparity between plate and chain. * \n1. One block of ore will now yield two sheets of metal. * \n2. Removed the Chain Jointing requirement from the combine. It now \nrequires one Superb Leather Padding instead. * \n\nItem, Spell, Discipline and Skill Changes \n___________________________ \n\n- Auto range attack implemented, no longer will it be necessary to \nrange attack manually - /autofire is a toggle command that will fire \nyour ranged weapon until you run out of ammunition, turn on autoattack \nto switch to melee combat, or use the /autofire command again. * \n\n- /melody ability implemented for bards - To use /melody, type /melody \n. The numbers are the same numbers you would use for the /cast command. \nThe melody will repeat the songs in the specified order until a note is \nmissed due to an interruption. * \n\n- Modified Mirrored Mask, so it is no longer no rent and poof on death, \nhowever the click effect only works inside Anguish. \n\n- Increased the chance on the Cleave effects to affect DPS as they were \noriginally intended. \n\n- Fixed a bug with the Frenzy of Conquest benefit. \n\n- No-rent containers no longer poof on login if they contain items. \nThey instead change into an unenchanted container with the same number \nof slots, and a chat message notifies the player. * \n\n- Changed the Mark of Justice to take the player's group instead of \njust the player when attempting to engage The 7th Hammer. * \n\n- Cryston, Staff of the Riftnow has the focus of Quickening of the \nIkaav. \n\n- Dragorn Head Statue Piece and Dragorn Torso Statue Piece are now very \nlarge and can fit in bags. \n\n- Clear Rock and A Large Rock are now very large and can fit in bags. \n\n- Polished Stone of Renewal can now be used by berserkers. * \n\n- Berserker: Hastened War Cry has been fixed. \n\n- Bards will stop playing songs when feign death effects hit them (some \nNPC encounters do this). \n\n- Players are no longer able to have Form of the Great Bear and a mount \non at the same time. \n\n- Holyforge will now increase your chance to slay undead, and if you \nhave the Slay Undead AA you will have an even greater chance of a slay \nwith Holyforge. * \n\n- The spell Nature's Blight was not increasing the damage as stated and \nshould be working as intended now. * \n\n- Fixed a bug with haste items and haste augments. Their effects were \nstacking when they shouldn't have. It will now only take the greatest \nhaste effect from the item including augments. \n\n- When combining the aegis of chaotic worship with the soul temper and \na flask of water, you will receive the temper and the aegis of chaotic \nworship back if you don't have the correct flags instead of just the \naegis back. \n\n- The Monk's feign death success rate has been improved. It was \npreviously capped at 95% at 100 skill and now it ramps up the success \nrate for higher skill levels. * \n\n- Fixed several inconsistencies with pets affected by focus items. \n\n- Increased the mana regen gained by Elemental Simulacrum. \n\n- Touch of the Devourer was changed to allow partial damage when it is \nresisted. This is an increase in the overall damage of the spell. \n\n- New items are available on the PvP point merchants. * \n\n- Might of the Wild Spirits and Savage Wildcaller's Blessing should now \nstack better. \n\n- The effect on the Wristband of Secrets no longer works on other \nplayers. \n\n- Increased the focus % of the following effects: \nHastening of the Ikaav \nQuickening of the Ikaav \nAlacrity of the Ikaav \n\n- Increased the potency of Pure Spirit. \n\n- Nature's Balance should now only remove beneficial spells from the \ntarget. \n\n- Removed the scaling focus mods from the following spells: \nForce of Ikkibi \nOrder of Trushar \nSylvan Anger \nTaelosian Geomancy \nBurning Night \nAnger of Taelosia \nSylvan Kindle \nClear Fire \n\n- The the class-specific quest chest armors from Omens of War now have \na .8 second cast time. \n\n- The pre-nerf LDoN armor sets can now be sold back to the merchants, \nlike other LDoN items. They are the versions with two type 2 slots and \none type 3 slot (instead of one each of types 1, 2, and 3). These items \nare those with the following in the item name: \nRoyal Attendant * of Sand \nIncorporeal * of the Specter \nMucus-Drenched * \nImmortal's Bloodied * \n\nMiscellaneous \n___________________________\n\n- Multiple procs on a pet are now working properly. * \n\n- A resource leak in the graphics engine was corrected and we have seen \na measurable improvement in client stability as a result. \n\n- The sky system now influences the ambient lighting. \n\n- Animated traps such as the ones in soldunga/b are now detected by the \ncollision system and will cause a small amount of damage. \n\n- You can once again target things on the other side of a water surface \nand other passable surfaces. \n\n- Added code to check and validate specialization skills. If the values \nare not legal, the player will be informed why they are not legal and \nthey are reset. \n\n- Added popup confirmation dialog when you attempt to give an augmented \nitem to an NPC. * \n\n- Added optional parameters to /book command -- /book open, /book \nclose. * \n\n- Fixed bug where a player who had more than 2 million plat in his \ninventory was unable to purchase anything from a vendor or trader. \n\n- /yell messages are no longer displayed if the yelling player is in \nyour ignore list. * \n\n- Some models that were scaled dramatically could cause the collision \nsystem to fail, resulting in warps to ceiling and other strange side \neffects. For example the vases in dranikcatacombsa at 1000,-1011, 0 \nwould always cause players to be pinned to the ceiling due to this bug. \n\n- Players standing on the lip of an edge should now slide down off them \nmore smoothly. \n\n- There have been some optimizations to the collision system. You \nshould see improved performance in zones with very large stationary \nobjects (potimea, bloodfields, etc). \n\n- Fixed a number of small bugs in the zoom camera behavior. These fixes \ninclude removing the possibility of having the first mousewheel click \ncausing the camera to bounce back into first person, a bug that could \ncause the camera to get stuck “one click” out of first person, as well \nas smoothing out the camera motion a bit. \n\n- Scrolling to third person and tabbing to another window should no \nlonger cause the screen to bounce back and forth. \n\n- Summoning mounts in certain places should no longer cause players to \nfall through geometry. \n\n- Getting out of water should be much easier to do. * \n\n- Mounts are no longer dismissed when zoning. * \n\n- Spell scribe timers (putting a new spell into the spell book) now \ntake only 1 second. \n\n- Players should no longer experience 20k falls when standing on cliff \nedges while suffering from low frame rate. \n\n- The bounding radius for small races was too tall, preventing them \nfrom accessing some areas. For example, gnomes couldn't enter the small \nhuts in Steamfont. This was a global problem that is now fixed; that is \njust one example. \n\n- Weather effects are now working properly when the Wake of Karana \nspell is used. Additionally, sounds related to starting \n\n- /who commands now display both class title and base class name for \nplayers over level 50, e.g. \"Bedazzler (Enchanter)\" * \n\n- Fixed a bug that caused a lot of writing to the dbg.txt file during a \nraid. \n\nZone Revamps - Mistmoore (Legends) \n___________________________\n\nIn Mistmoore's Catacombs, the servants of the Trueborn, a sect of \nvampires with Mayong Mistmoore's blood flowing through their veins, \ngrew tired of their masters throwing them into the fray against the \nNorrathian intruders. They came to desire more power for themselves. \n\nIt was not long before the first words of dissension crept through the \ncatacombs on the will of whispers. The Trueborn servants congregated in \ndark, musty halls away from the eyes of their masters and over time \ntheir numbers grew along with their ambitions. Their time had come and \nsoon they would rise up to claim their rightful place in Mistmoore \nCastle, gaining accolades from Lord Mayong Mistmoore himself for their \nbrilliance and bravery -- or so they supposed. \n\nOver several months, the Trueborn traitors recruited an army to their \ncause. On a black night as the moon was swallowed by a thick veil over \nFaydwer, they struck, killing their masters and leading their army \ntoward Mistmoore Castle. They slaughtered all in their path and many \nmasters of the Scions sect, the Trueborn's rival blood-children of \nMayong, were destroyed that night. \n\nThe fierce wave of the lesser Trueborn rushed into the cellars of \nMistmoore Castle without detection. Unbeknownst to all but the \nservants, Norrath's adventurers had uncovered winding caves beneath the \nsurface that bypassed the castle’s defenses. In a matter of hours, the \ncastle was overrun and the servants of the Trueborn declared themselves \nthe true Children of Mistmoore. \n\nSince taking control of the castle, many Children have busied \nthemselves repairing the damage from the battle while others continue \nto seek the magical ore that was uncovered in the catacombs. \n\nThey all prepare, waiting for the day their master returns to grant \nthem glory. \n\n\nZone Revamps - Splitpaw (Legends) \n___________________________ \n\nFarsoth Mal, son of the Ishva Mal, leader of the Verishe Mal tribe, sat \nby his father’s side watching him rule his minions in Splitpaw Lair. \nHis father may have conquered this lair some years ago, but Farsoth \nbelieved they should rule far more than just one underground kingdom. \nHe grew to despise his father for his lack of ambition and many hours \nwere spent in bitter arguments between the two. The Ishva Mal grew \ntired and angry at the ceaseless challenges to his authority, gaining \nas much contempt for his son as his son had for him. \n\nDuring a particularly heated argument of growls and grisly barks, the \nIshva Mal reminded his willful son that his power was absolute and that \nhe shared his throne with no one. With one quick motion, the Ishva Mal \nbrandished his spear and sliced off his son's paw, determined that he \nwould finally win the respect he deserved from his son. But the Ishva \nMal's cruel methods would prove to be his downfall. \n\nThe Ishva Mal grew to be a greater tyrant each day, so much so that the \nVerishe Mal mages and warriors secretly formed the Council of Nine to \nchallenge his rule. Farsoth saw the plans the Verishe Mal had in store \nfor his father, but did nothing to stop them and instead chose to use \nthem to his advantage. \n\nFarsoth learned much from the council's mages and became obsessed with \nthe summoning arts they practiced. His fascination eventually led to a \nplan that would secure the throne . . . for him. \n\nThrough all he'd learned from the Verishe Mal mages, he believed he \ncould summon a powerful entity from the Plane of Fire itself. Farsoth \nthought with such power at his side, nothing could stop him from ruling \nthe Splitpaw Lair and any lands he desired. \n\nHe prepared for weeks, researching and gathering the reagents he \nrequired and finally he set to work to summon a terrible beast to bring \nan end to his father's rule. \n\nFarsoth was distracted by his own anger, forgetting vital components as \nhe wove the spell and the unthinkable happened. Flames shot out of the \nportal that Farsoth opened and, at the same time, rocks rained down \nupon the inhabitants of the lair. Then, the portal shifted its focus \nand water flooded into the corridors, extinguishing the flames and \nwashing away the rocks. The portal shimmered once more and waves of all \ntypes of elementals poured into Splitpaw. \n\nFarsoth certainly attained part of his goal. His father was killed, but \nso to were most of the gnolls he wished to lead to greatness. \n\nNow he is a prisoner to the swarms of enraged elementals that have made \nSplitpaw Lair their new home. \n\n* Denotes a change requested by the community. \n\n- The EverQuest Team","content_hash":"cdbbb0b82e23f74b4fef7afc138b4fadea7be9899bbb10b8db0a0980ac51dc0c","source_files":["patches-2004-2.txt","patches_1999-2010_combined.txt"],"source_titles":["December 15, 2004"],"source_url":null,"source_urls":[],"occurrence_count":2,"source_occurrences":[{"occurrence_id":"30e6ce390015754869b381f8204bf8b3bf2fb9bb0a6e02623bef462135480bb6","filename":"patches_1999-2010_combined.txt","adapter":"text","source_offset":665455,"item_index":null,"heading":"December 15, 2004","source_url":null,"source_url_raw":null,"published":null,"source_kind":"text","excerpt":false,"year_inferred":false},{"occurrence_id":"ab3c8b9aaf1083410c9f3715cd6961138c8bf90e115ae7fd5a4a78a362c32817","filename":"patches-2004-2.txt","adapter":"text","source_offset":37621,"item_index":null,"heading":"December 15, 2004","source_url":null,"source_url_raw":null,"published":null,"source_kind":"text","excerpt":false,"year_inferred":false}],"year_inferred":false,"sequence":1,"slug":"2004-12-15-1","id":"2004-12-15-1"},{"patch_date":"2004-10-13","effective_date":"2004-10-13","display_date":"October 13, 2004","title":"October 13, 2004","year":2004,"month":10,"kind":"live","era":"EverQuest Live","expansion":"Omens of War","expansion_code":"omens-of-war","categories":[{"slug":"bug-fixes","label":"Bug Fixes"},{"slug":"classes","label":"Classes"},{"slug":"spells-aa","label":"Spells & AA"},{"slug":"items","label":"Items"},{"slug":"zones-npcs","label":"Zones & NPCs"},{"slug":"quests-events","label":"Quests & Events"},{"slug":"tradeskills","label":"Tradeskills"},{"slug":"ui","label":"UI"},{"slug":"audio-graphics","label":"Audio & Graphics"},{"slug":"expansions","label":"Expansions"}],"sections":[],"change_count":48,"word_count":762,"summary":"Summoned pets no longer vanish when their owner turns invisible Froglok animations are now fixed, seriously, no really we mean it this time.

We hope you enjoy all that EverQuest: Omens of War \nbrings to the game. \n\nTravel to the Omens Zones \n___________________ \nThe Priests of Discord in Norrath believe they have been granted a \ngift. A unique knowledge has been bestowed upon them which they believe \nwas granted as a reward for preaching the way of Discord. That gift, \nthey claim, is the knowledge of a way to a world that is enveloped by \nDiscord itself -- an ethereal poison that wreaks havoc and strife upon \nall it touches. \n\nSpeak to a Priest of Discord to learn how to enter the World of Kuua. \n\nThe Task System \n___________________ \nOnly have a short time to play or are you waiting for a group or raid? \nImmerse yourself in a Task. You can find Task Masters all over Norrath. \nThey can be found in most home cities as well as in places like the \nEast Commonlands, the Butcherblock Mountains, Toxxulia Forest and the \nSwamp of No Hope. For the more daring individuals, the most challenging \ntasks can be found by speaking with Task Masters in the Dreadlands and \nthe Overthere. \n\nYou can open the task window by hitting Alt+Q and start enjoying this \nnew game-play style and enhancement to the EverQuest experience. \n\nBe mindful of turning in task items in stacks, as with all quests in \nEQ, please seperate the items before turning them in for a reward. \n\nEpic Weapons 2.0 \n___________________ \nWill you be the first of your class to earn these powerful new items? \n\nGuild Tribute \n___________________ \nOmens of War expansion brings a new Guild Tribute system. This system \nwill allow guild members to donate items/cash for Tribute points, and \nallow officers to select benefits that the entire guild will receive, \ndeducting the cost from the guild’’s tribute pool. \n\nGuild Tribute is an extension of the tribute system introduced in Gates \nof Discord and purchasers of either expansion, will be able to reap the \nnew benefits. \n\nRetail Claim Item \n___________________ \nThose of you who purchased the retail version of EverQuest: Omens of \nWar will need to use the /claim command in-game to receive your in-game \nitems. Enjoy! \n\nSelect your title \n___________________ \nYou can hit Shift+T to bring up the new Title selection UI which will \nallow you to choose from the titles you have earned, through AAs, \nlevels or accomplishments, to be shown with your character name in-\ngame. \n\nVoice Macros \n___________________ \nUsing Ctrl+V will bring up the new Voice Macro UI.

Selecting a macro and using one of the other options will send \nthe voice macro to either a tell (using the person you have targeted as \nthe recipient), group or raid. \n\nTo create your own voice macros, make a sound file using the same name \nas one of the existing voice macros, which can be found in your \nEverQuest>Voice>Default directory and place it in your EverQuest>Voice>\nUser directory. \n\nYou can create hot keys of your favorite Voice Macros by selecting the \nmacro you would like and clicking and holding on the Tell, Raid or \nGroup button until the icon appears on your cursor. \n\nWe hope you enjoy this new way to immerse yourself into the EverQuest \nexperience. \n\nNew Spell Slot \n___________________ \nFor the first time in EQ, you can open up a new spell slot by learning \nthe Mnemonic Retention AA ability. 9 Spell slots! Wow, Why I remember \nin the early days of EQ, we only had 8 spell slots and we liked it. We \ncast spells all day, going uphill both ways. You whippersnappers have \nit easy =) \n\nMore Buff Slots \n___________________ \nIf you find that you need more room for beneficial buffs on your \ncharacter, activate the Mystical Attuning AA and open up more room in \nyour buff slot window. \n\nImproved Customization for Graphics \n___________________\n-There are now 3 sets of options (Spell, Environment, and Actor). All 3 \nsets have similar options that affect each type of particle. These \noptions allow for more customization when setting up your display and \nfilters. \n\n-An \"advanced\" button has been added under the display tab in the \noptions window. This will allow you to toggle some of the new settings, \nfor our new customizable graphics and effects.

Use \nthe shadows option in options>Display>advanced to turn them off and on. \nNow, even when soloing, you will never be alone. Those of you with \nolder video cards may have some performance issues when attempting to \nuse shadows. If your machine does not meet the recommended system \nspecifications, we suggest that you play with shadows off. \n\n- Enjoy sunsets and moonrises viewed above EverQuest's new reflective \nwater which is available for everyone, wherever there is static water, \ne.g. Oceans, seas and lakes. You can toggle the new water shaders on \nand off using the Water Swap button, under options>display>advanced. \n\nZoning Screen \n___________________\nWhen zoning, you will now see the loading splash screen.

Attunable augments will become no-drop flagged \nwhen added to an augment slot, attunable items will become no-drop when \nequipped. You will not be able to auto-equip an attunable item that has \nnot been attuned to your character. Please be mindful of the new \nAttunable flag before equipping or augmenting new items. \n\nAlternate Advancement Abilities \n___________________ \n- Berserkers have received some new AAs. This should bring their AA \nselection up to par with comparable melee classes. \n- Added the ability for shadow knights to train the Gates of Discord \nability Improved Theft of Life and the Planes of Power ability \nSuspended Minion. \n- The healing wards that priests can summon using their Gates of \nDiscord AAs are now immune to most spells. \n- Lowered the reuse time on the Magician ability Host of the Elements \nto 15 minutes. \n- Added the ability to train Quick Damage to Magicians as a Luclin \nClass ability. \n- Increased the critical hit chance for the Wizard Gates of Discord AA \nFrenzied Devastation. \n\nFan Faire \n___________________\nWe are proud to announce the Halloween, New Orleans Fan Faire!

However, the new entry quest uses the old key and \noffers an alternate quest to do instead of the original key quest. \n\n- Items in the zone are now of elemental planes quality. \n- Faction now matters: Dragons in Veeshan’s Peak will now speak to \nplayers if you have the correct faction and can understand them. \n- New quests and lore: The dragons in Veeshan’s Peak will now give \nplayers the option to acquire items through questing for them. \n- The zone is now an exp zone as well: Hunting in the areas before the \ndragons yields experience and loot. \n\nNew Adventure Zone for Stormhammer \nStormhammer gains a new adventure zone.

These distillers are sold by a \nmerchant in Butcherblock. The item inspect window for an augmentation \nwill tell you which distiller is required to remove it. \n- The existing solvents can still be used to destroy an augmentation if \nyou don't want to keep it. You no longer need a different solvent for \neach augmentation slot. The interface will allow you to select which \naugmentation you wish to delete. \n- For those with custom UI's, you will need to update your \nEQ_Container.xml file in order to use the new augment window. \n\nPets * \n- Zoning pets are in. Persistent pet data includes: Items, Spell \nEffects, hit points, mana, name, height, and mana cost to summon them. \nAll PC summoned pets should zone with you in all instances except for \nwhen you die.

Please wash them in only Cold water to \nprevent inadvertently reducing their size. \n\nTribute Changes * \n- Some items have had their favor value lowered. \n- Players will now \"Pre-pay\" for tribute benefits. When benefits are \nactivated, the player will immediately be charged for those benefits \nfrom their Favor pool. After that, the player will be charged every 10 \nminutes for the next 10 minutes of benefit. If benefits are deactivated \nbefore the timer is depleted, no refund is given for the time \nremaining. \n- Players now have the ability to activate/deactivate the tribute \nbenefits they've selected (as a whole) whenever they like using a \nbutton on the Tribute Benefit Window. However, every time the player \nactivates his benefits, he will be \"Pre-pay\" (see above). The ability \nto change selected benefits (downgrade) away from the Tribute Master \nhas been removed. \n- When visiting a Tribute Master, the player's benefits will \ndeactivate. Players may re-organize their selected benefit load, but \nwill not be able to \"preview\" the benefits (seeing the effect on their \ncharacter when the benefit is selected).

It can be set in the General tab of the options window. \nThis feature forces your character to duck automatically to get into small places. If set to off, you will need \nto manually duck to enter those places. It is \"on\" by default. \n-Warping of very small NPCs (e.g., giant rats in Qeynos) has been resolved. \n-Rain now has visible weather. \n\n\nPets \n60+ player pets have been improved in a number of ways. Most notably, the effects of pet foci will be more \ndramatic as a player progresses with more powerful equipment. There have also been a number of inconsistencies \nbetween different tiers of pet foci that have been fixed. All of the existing foci should never show a power \ndecrease in any aspect when upgrading from a lower tier foci to a higher tier foci. The most dramatic changes \nin pet stats are in the following aspects: \n\nLevel - Most tiers of Foci will add one level to the pet. \n\nMax HP - Most tiers of foci will add max hit points to the pet, some tiers are more dramatic than others and follow \na similar rate of progression to player characters as they gain equipment equivalent to the pet focus items. \n\nMitigation (AC, Agility) -- Most tiers of foci will add mitigation to the pet. Some tiers are more dramatic than \nothers and follow a similar rate of progression to player characters as they gain equipment equivalent to the pet \nfocus items. \n\nDamage Output - Generally the pets did not receive a significant change in their damage output, although there are \ncertain pets that have had their max hit and offense increased. \n\nOverall, the player pets have received a significant boost. There are instances where you will see no change in a \nspecific aspect of a specific pet. For example, the Rathe’’s Son pet summoned with Minion of Eternity has not received \nan improvement in max hit points, but it has received a significant mitigation improvement. \n\nThese changes affect the pets summoned by the following spells: \n\nWard of Xegony \nChild of Ro \nServant of Marr \nRathe’s Son \nLegacy of Zek \nSaryrn’s Companion \nChild of Bertoxxulous \nSpirit of Sorsha \nSpirit of Arag \n\nThe most profound changes were made to the magician pets as they were most in need of improvement to maintain class \nbalance. Beastlord and necromancer pets also received upgrades, but not of the same magnitude. \n\n-- The EverQuest Team","content_hash":"465dc2d33fb7ea197f8358944174b3449c818b02416a9ad5b31b75adc5e80ac6","source_files":["patches-2004-1.txt","patches_1999-2010_combined.txt"],"source_titles":["March 25, 2004"],"source_url":null,"source_urls":[],"occurrence_count":2,"source_occurrences":[{"occurrence_id":"2f9ecb8b5f9e798fdf8ba02110f1c6916313f4e1130c0e42317cf632f1650e30","filename":"patches_1999-2010_combined.txt","adapter":"text","source_offset":603493,"item_index":null,"heading":"March 25, 2004","source_url":null,"source_url_raw":null,"published":null,"source_kind":"text","excerpt":false,"year_inferred":false},{"occurrence_id":"1638225033be407d78393a777579dde2948ee5027e74af2dc73aecdb1bcb5686","filename":"patches-2004-1.txt","adapter":"text","source_offset":20442,"item_index":null,"heading":"March 25, 2004","source_url":null,"source_url_raw":null,"published":null,"source_kind":"text","excerpt":false,"year_inferred":false}],"year_inferred":false,"sequence":1,"slug":"2004-03-25-1","id":"2004-03-25-1"},{"patch_date":"2004-03-23","effective_date":"2004-03-23","display_date":"March 23, 2004","title":"March 23, 2004","year":2004,"month":3,"kind":"live","era":"EverQuest Live","expansion":"Gates of Discord","expansion_code":"gates-of-discord","categories":[{"slug":"classes","label":"Classes"},{"slug":"spells-aa","label":"Spells & AA"},{"slug":"items","label":"Items"},{"slug":"zones-npcs","label":"Zones & NPCs"},{"slug":"quests-events","label":"Quests & Events"},{"slug":"ui","label":"UI"},{"slug":"servers","label":"Servers"},{"slug":"audio-graphics","label":"Audio & Graphics"}],"sections":[],"change_count":0,"word_count":343,"summary":"Headlines DirectX 9 is now REQUIRED to play on all SOE EverQuest servers and Venril Sathir!

These are Guk-themed raids, one for Elemental Plane and \none for Time Plane capable raiders.\n\n- The revamped Plane of Mischief is now available on all Live servers.\n\n- There were some situations where the warders in Vex Thal could be up, \nbut the bosses needed to kill them would not be available. That \nshouldn't happen anymore.\n\n- Shrunk the giant wolves that appeared in the lands. \n\n- The Coirnav encounter has been changed. Be much more careful if you \nhave been relying on stuns to deal with this encounter.\n\n- Corrected an issue with the Filth Gorgers that was causing them to \nremain around with they were supposed to despawn.\n\n- Soldiers of Madness in Grieg's End will no longer be so unbelievably \nnumerous.\n\n- Zoning into the Plane of Fire will no longer cause characters to \noccasionally take 20k points of damage.\n\n- The Froglok Hunter and Forager will no longer be killed by the \ninhabitants of Trakanon's Teeth, so they should be easier to find.\n\n- When Mithaniel Marr is killed, his planar projection now spawns in \nthe middle of his room rather than at the point of death. This fixes a \nproblem that could cause the projection to appear out of reach.\n\n- The Qeynos investigator is now taking \"follow me\" orders again.\n\n** Adventures **\n\n- Every character that successfully completes an adventure will now get \nat least one point as a reward. This is also true for the \n\"consolation\" rewards.\n\n- Completing Hard adventures will yield more points.\n\n- Several trap spells on interactive objects have had their severity \nreduced.\n\n- Added some new type 7 and type 8 augmentations to various adventure \nmerchants.\n\n- It will be clearer now which raids are \"hard\" and which are \"normal\". \nHard raids are intended for Time capable guilds. They are very hard.\n\n- All raid recruiters now properly check to be sure that you have \ncompleted two adventures in their respective themes before they will \ngive out the raid.\n\n- Fixed an issue in a Mistmoore's Catacomb raid that was preventing \nplayers from accessing an interactive object they had earned for \nkilling Sfisithik.\n\n- Removed the ability to see through Shroud of Stealth from some of the \nNPCs that appear in LDoN Raids.\n\n- There was a misconception about the behavior of goblins in some \nRujarkian Hills adventures. Goblins that are fleeing because they are \nunwilling to die or are seeking help will make it clear that they are \ndoing so. We also corrected an issue that could cause these goblins to \n\"ping pong\" in some cases.\n\n- All of the \"flavor\" NPCs in dungeons (usually those that are lying \ndown, nearly dead) will display full health to make it impossible to \ntell what kind of NPC they are (friend or foe) simply by looking at \ntheir health level.\n\n- Hostages will no longer be attacked by their captors.\n\n- We thinned out the population in the Grand Library and a few other \nMiragul's Menagerie themed zones to bring the challenge in line.\n\n- Rats in Mistmoore's Catacombs are now animals, shadows are now \nsummoned.\n\n** Items and Objects **\n\n- Corrected a bug that allowed players to buy multiple lore \naugmentations if they were in a bag (which also caused issues when \ntrying to loot corpses with those items). If you had multiple lore \nitems, the extra items will be removed. A refund for the points spent \non those items will be made when they are deleted.\n\n- Broken Chunk of Coal, Cracked Ruby, and Charred Pebble are no longer \nvalid augmentations. If you had these augmentations bonded to an item, \nyou will find them on your cursor. You can take those items to Dible \nHedledrap in South Ro and he will restore your adventure points.\n\n- Perfect Garnet of Constitution, Pristine Garnet of Constitution, \nPerfect Sapphire of Insight, and Pristine Sapphire of Insight can be \nturned in to Dible Heldedrap in South Ro. He will replace them with \ntype 8 versions of the same items.\n\n- Changed pre-LDoN items to have a single slot of type 7 instead of 1. \nSome LDoN items which had a slot type 1 were also changed to type 7.\n\n- Fixed a bug with the Adventurer's Stone that would sometimes cause it \nto not display its bonuses.\n\n- Interactive objects will now only appear on LDoN raids when the main \nboss has been killed. This change was done to prevent an exploit, and \nis a temporary change.\n\n- We have improved the types of rewards that can be found in \ninteractive objects to improve the reward given for the risk taken by \nopening them.\n\n- Fixed a bug that prevented augments with no deity restrictions from \ncombining with deity-restricted items.\n\n- Added a message that should make it clearer when a character is \nunable to loot an interactive object because they are on an NPC's hate \nlist.\n\n- Hand-to-hand weapons are now part of the one-handed restriction on \naugmentations. So augmentations that say they can be used with one-\nhanded items will also work with hand-to-hand items.\n\n- Geomancer's Crown of Reformation now fits in the head slot and the \neffect is worn instead of right clicked.\n\n- Gravestone of Dire Melodies and the Limestone Shard of Battle Cries \nwill now properly modify instrument skills.\n\n- All of Royal Attendant Armor will now show up as plate armor.\n\n- Rogue pets focused with Summoner's Boon should no longer lose the \nability to backstab.\n\n- Shard of Shrunken Bone was changed from Shield of Pain III to Shield \nof Pain II.\n\n- Changed many of the new Lost Dungeons \"shields\" to make them useable \nas shields (they can be used to bash now).\n\n- Removed augmentation slots from the following items: Primal Velium \nKnight's Sword, Divine Hammer of Consternation, Breezeboot's Frigid \nGnasher, Primal Velium Fist Wraps, Primal Velium Battlehammer, Primal \nVelium Spear, Primal Velium Claidhmore, Primal Velium Brawl Stick, \nPrimal Velium War Lance, Primal Velium Reinforced Bow, Primal Velium \nBattle Axe, Primal Velium Warsword, Ancient Prismatic Bow, Ancient \nPrismatic Lance, Ancient Prismatic Spear, Ancient Prismatic Claymore, \nAncient Prismatic Brawl Stick, Ancient Prismatic Battlehammer, Ancient \nPrismatic Warsword, Ancient Prismatic Axe, Ancient Prismatic Fist \nWraps, Ancient Prismatic Staff, Ancient Prismatic Stiletto, and Ancient \nPrismatic Mace.\n\n- Changed some weapons dropped from rare NPC's in LDoN zones to have \nslot type 4 instead of 1.\n\n- Changed Pristine Limestone of Hatred to Vengeance IV.\n\n- The hp/mana augmentations that dropped in adventures as slot 1 items \nwill no longer drop. They have been replaced with similar items that \nfit into slot 7.\n\n- Made changes to various stats and effects on Plane of Time items.\n\n- Changed the level required to use the right-click effect on Wild Lord \nArmor to 45, to match all other Kunark armor.\n\n- Corrected a bug with mounts that would sometimes leave the horse buff \nup without the actual mount. Also corrected a problem that could cause \na player to be unable to summon a mount.\n\n- Fixed the haste on Spiritbound Mystic's Torch \n\n- Altered the damage and delay on the Delightful Orb of Forgotten Magic \nto be more appropriate for where it drops\n\n\n** For the New Player **\n\n- Find Feature added. This will create a mystical indication of the \npath to take to find certain people. This feature works in the Bazaar \nand in newbie zones and cities. In the Bazaar you just click on the \nmerchant you seek in the Bazaar window and click the Find Trader \nbutton. For all other uses, just hit CTRL+F to open the window, select \nsomeone on the list and click the Find button. This will locate any \nBazaar trader or any NPC with an alternate name, such as (Spell \nVendor). The exception is that it will not locate NPCs in the \nWayfarer's Camps.\n\n- The auto-attack key now defaults to Q (not A). \n\n- New characters start with their weapons and armor equipped.\n\n- New characters start with their spells scribed and memorized.\n\n- When a caster reaches the level required for one of the first two \nrings of new spells, they will get a message informing them that new \nspells are available. \n\n- New characters will begin with a stack of bandages. These bandages \ncannot be sold or traded.\n\n- When a character trains in a hotbutton-able skill that he did not \npreviously have skill in, a hotbutton for that skill is created on the \ncursor.\n\n- New characters will have a page of hotbuttons set for them based on \nthe skills given to them by their class and race.\n\n** Interface **\n\n- Merchants now separate items with different charges in their list. \nFor example, 9 dose and 10 dose potions will show up as separate items \non the merchant's list. Items with the same amount of charges will be \nstacked. NOTE: This will remove the ability to \"recharge\" items by \nselling them to a vendor and buying them back.\n\n- The Bazaar now supports selling different charged items. For example, \na 10 dose potion with 9 charges can be sold for 90 plat., while a 10 \ndose version of the same potion can be sold for 100 plat. NOTE: All \ncurrently priced charged items will no longer have a price attached and \nwill need to be reset by the trader.\n\n- Pet buffs are now visible in the pet window. A small icon will \ndisplay for each buff on the pet (up to 30 - you may need to resize the \npet window). You can hover your mouse over the icon to see the spell \nname. Alt left-click or right-click and hold for spell info box (which \nonly contains name and icon).\n\n- Improved the functionality of the ESC key. Windows close in the \nopposite order that they were opened.\n\n- Swarm pet damage is filtered under \"pet damage\" rather than \"others \nhits\".\n\n- When World Containers (ovens, kilns, augmentation sealers and similar \nitems) are closed, No Drop items in those containers will be placed in \nthe character's inventory. If it will not fit there, it will appear on \ntheir cursor.\n\n- The \"Only show items I can use\" option in the Adventure Merchant \nwindow will be saved when you log out.\n\n- Hotbuttons created using the Abilities and Combat skill lists are no \nlonger connected to the buttons in the Actions window. This means that \nyou can create a button on the Abilities or Combat section of the \nactions window, drag that button to the hotbutton window, then change \nthe button on the Abilities or Combat section, and the hotbutton you \nmade will not change. This allows you to create hotbuttons for ALL of \nyour character's skills, not just the ones that can fit in the Actions \nwindow.\n\n- You can now use the (`) key to \"Target nearest NPC\", in addition to \nF8. \n\n- Shared bank slots will no longer accept rentable containers with no-\nrent items in them.\n\n- A new system for the leaderboard has been implemented to track \nadventures by their difficulty. You can sort by normal/hard/all \ndifficulty. Not only will this display the stats for the leaders, but \nyou will also be able to see your own successes and failures at the \nbottom, based on the sorting you chose for the leaderboard. So, for \nexample, if you filter the leaderboard by Miragul's Wins and choose \nHard, you will not only see the leaders for Hard adventures in that \ntheme, you will see your own statistics for Hard Miragul's adventures. \nNOTE: Because this tracking is new, it will only be able to \ndifferentiate hard and normal adventures from the time of this update \nonward. Past adventures will be treated as if they were normal \ndifficulty. \n\n- /autojoin is not saved per character, not for all characters.\n\n- The Open and Inspect buttons are no longer \"grayed-out\" when Lay on \nHands or Harm Touch are used.\n\n- Merchant inventories will refresh properly after a character \npurchases the last of an item in inventory.\n\n** Spells **\n\n- Casting Grow on an unshrunk shaman pet will no longer shrink the pet.\n\n- Remove Minor Curse cures 2 curse counters instead of 3-4.\n\n- Lich and Pact of Hate now use different colored skeleton models.\n\n- Monster Summoning will summon the correct models, not just earth \nelementals.\n\n- Frostreaver's Blessing will no longer block the bard song Wind of \nMarr. We realize there are still some stacking issues with these \nspells, and we hope to resolve them soon.\n\n** Tradeskills **\n\n- The Blessed Steel Arrowheads recipe will return the file.\n\n- NPC Merchants will now pay less for Steel Hunter Arrows, Steel \nArrowshafts, and Steel Fletch.\n\n- The Muckskipper Chowder recipe no longer returns a pot on a failure \nor success, since the recipe does not require a pot at all.\n\n- The recipe for the \"Lemming Fur Backpack\" now requires an \nEmbroidering Needle instead of a Sewing Needle.\n\n** Alternate Advancement **\n\n- Jewelcraft Mastery works properly now.\n\n- Frenzied Burnout will no longer last indefinitely on a charmed pet.\n\n** UI Files **\n\n* Changed *\n\nEQUI.xml\nEQUI_ActionsWindow.xml\nEQUI_AdventureLeaderboardWnd.xml\nEQUI_BazaarSearchWnd.xml\nEQUI_LootWnd.xml\nEQUI_OptionsWindow.xml\nEQUI_PetInfoWindow.xml\nEQUI_RaidWindow.xml\n\n* New *\n\nEQUI_FindLocationWnd.xml\n\n* New Labels *\n\n86-115 for the pet buff names.","content_hash":"2abee9d036b3a96d05b281b289048c5873e0a63510187ceeb46efc29cb74ddc1","source_files":["patches-2003-2.txt","patches_1999-2008_combined.md","patches_1999-2010_combined.txt"],"source_titles":["October 9, 2003"],"source_url":null,"source_urls":[],"occurrence_count":3,"source_occurrences":[{"occurrence_id":"3d38085760648e91aab94102021cb06b39d231f4f98c4742b8684d8da0a33a82","filename":"patches_1999-2008_combined.md","adapter":"markdown","source_offset":537044,"item_index":null,"heading":"October 9, 2003","source_url":null,"source_url_raw":null,"published":null,"source_kind":"markdown","excerpt":false,"year_inferred":false},{"occurrence_id":"894e9c9fe0030f7205f1e7a7c9c442bd453466664681a3a724d65c7a33cad255","filename":"patches_1999-2010_combined.txt","adapter":"text","source_offset":553285,"item_index":null,"heading":"October 9, 2003","source_url":null,"source_url_raw":null,"published":null,"source_kind":"text","excerpt":false,"year_inferred":false},{"occurrence_id":"9900e94678b954ccbd7157da78cd02cf054d5df6f076a4d23028270ac4ac2756","filename":"patches-2003-2.txt","adapter":"text","source_offset":35959,"item_index":null,"heading":"October 9, 2003","source_url":null,"source_url_raw":null,"published":null,"source_kind":"text","excerpt":false,"year_inferred":false}],"year_inferred":false,"sequence":1,"slug":"2003-10-09-1","id":"2003-10-09-1"},{"patch_date":"2003-09-09","effective_date":"2003-09-09","display_date":"September 9, 2003","title":"September 9, 2003","year":2003,"month":9,"kind":"live","era":"EverQuest Live","expansion":"Lost Dungeons of Norrath","expansion_code":"lost-dungeons-of-norrath","categories":[{"slug":"bug-fixes","label":"Bug Fixes"},{"slug":"classes","label":"Classes"},{"slug":"spells-aa","label":"Spells & AA"},{"slug":"items","label":"Items"},{"slug":"zones-npcs","label":"Zones & NPCs"},{"slug":"quests-events","label":"Quests & Events"},{"slug":"ui","label":"UI"},{"slug":"audio-graphics","label":"Audio & Graphics"},{"slug":"expansions","label":"Expansions"}],"sections":["Lost Dungeons of Norrath Launches!","Game Updates","Items","do the following","Zones and Quests","Spells","Interface","Miscellaneous","see this message","UI Files","Changed","New","Known Issues","Use Augmentations Wisely"],"change_count":20,"word_count":1114,"summary":"Lost Dungeons of Norrath Launches! *** Make sure to check out this groundbreaking new expansion!

Order now and join the \ngrand Adventure!\n\n*** Game Updates ***\n\n** Items **\n\n- Warrior and Magician epic changes – A new version of these two epic \nitems is available to accommodate the new item augmentations. Both of \nthese epics are basically summoned items, and therefore they would lose \nany augmentations when used or unsummoned. Players wishing to change \nthese items into \"permanent\" versions in order to augment them should \ndo the following:\n\nWarrior Epic - Talk to Gartrog Smitehammer in East Freeport. He will \nreplace your Red Scabbard and Jagged Blade of War with augmentable \nversions of the Jagged Blade of War, the Blade of Strategy, and the \nBlade of Tactics. You will not receive the Red Scabbard back, as it \nwill no longer be useful to you.\n\nMagician Epic - Talk to Ilisiv Gantrau in the Tox Forest. She will take \na summoned Orb of Mastery and replace it with a permanent augmentable \norb. The epic pet is still summoned in exactly the same way, with no \nchanges to the spell or use.\n\n** Zones and Quests **\n\n- Plane of Mischief - We have updated the factions for a few NPCs for \nthis zone on Stormhammer only. All of the NPCs there are meant to be \naggressive. Some of them were on the wrong faction, and were not \naggressive. They are now.\n\n- The Deep - There were some NPCs in this zone that could see invisible \nbut were bugged to be non-aggressive. They will again be aggressive, so \nbe more cautious when using invisibility in The Deep.\n\n- Plane of Valor - The Aerin'Dar projection was despawning after only a \nfew minutes. It will now remain as long as other projections.\n\n- City of Mist - Black Reavers are immune to magic once again.\n\n- Oxidized Steel Plate will now drop. This should allow the completion \nof the Rallican’s Bracer quest\n\n- The Ghost of Kindle has returned.\n\n- Manastone is no longer usable in The Hole.\n\n- The trader limit increase mentioned in the last update should be \nworking properly now.\n\n** Spells **\n\n- We have reduced the cost of the Summon Wooden, Stone and Iron \nBracelet spells. \n\n- We have added new Skeleton models for pets, illusions, and \ntransformation spells.\n\n- We have changed the underlying way that pet focus items work to allow \nfor future upgrades and items. All existing foci should work as they \nalways have. If you notice anything unusual when using a pet focus, \nplease /bug report the issue.\n\n** Interface **\n\n- Context Tips - We have added a question mark symbol to windows that \nhave help information available. Just click on the question mark in the \nupper right of the window to see the tips.\n\n** Miscellaneous **\n\n- Fixed a bug that was causing NPCs to appear to have a larger melee \nrange than they should have in some cases.\n\n- Sullon Zek - There was a bug that allowed players to create \ncharacters on opposing alliances. That is no longer possible. If you \nsee this message: \n\n\"You currently have characters created on opposing deity alliances. You \ncan only have characters that are on the same alliance. Please correct \nthis by deleting the character that was recently created and has an \nopposing alliance with the first character you created.\" \n\nYou will not be able to log in until you delete any characters that are \nnot on the same alliance.\n\n** UI Files **\n\n* Changed *\n\nSIDL.xml\nEQUI_Templates.xml\nEQUI_Animations.xml\nEQUI.xml\ndragitem27.tga\nwindow_pieces01.tga\n\n* New *\n\nEQUI_AdventureRequestWnd.xml\nEQUI_AdventureMerchantWnd.xml\nEQUI_AdventureLeaderboardWnd.xml\nEQUI_AdventureStatsWnd.xml\n\n\n** Known Issues **\n_\nThis is the list of cosmetic issues that we're aware aren't perfect, \nbut determined as acceptable to launch with, as_none should affect \npeoples' ability to enjoy the game._ \n_\nRather than attempt last-minute changes that often break more than they \nfix, these will be addressed in an update after Lost Dungeons' launch.\n_\n- Paladins and Shadowknights:_ The new INSPECT and OPEN ability buttons \nwill *appear* disabled for the duration of your Harm Touch or Lay Hands \ntimers when you use those abilities._ You may still use INSPECT and \nOPEN, however._ It just won't look like you can.\n_\n- When receiving an adventure from one of the Wayfarers' Camps, for \nnow, the Adventure Window does not automatically close when you walk \naway from the Adventure Recruiter as it should._ \n_\n- Pet Users:_ If you tell your pet to attack an interactive object \n(chest, vase, coffin, etc) inside of a dungeon, your pet will tell you \nthat it is attacking, but it will not actually attack._ This is a \nproblem with the message, not the behavior. _The pet should be telling \nyou that it cannot attack such a thing.\n\n** Use Augmentations Wisely **\n\nIf you have an item with more than one slot available and you intend to \napply an Augmentation Item that can fit into any slot (i.e. Type 1), be \nsure to apply it last.\n\nFor example, you have an item with three slots available and you have \nfilled Slot 1 with an Augmentation Item. In your bag you have an \nAugmentation Item that can fit into any slot on the item (i.e. Type 1) \nand one that fits into Slot 2. If you use the Type 1 Augmentation Item \nfirst, it will fill the first open slot on your item, which would be \nSlot 2 in this case. This means you will not be able to use the Slot 2-\nspecific Augmentation Item you had available. \n\nSo, remember, the rule is that if you have an Augmentation Item that \ncan be used it any slot, be sure to apply it last!","content_hash":"78fd2f75189a11d486f56510d36f3072ef87447645aa8bd9cf5f777f4febd7ff","source_files":["patches-2003-2.txt","patches_1999-2010_combined.txt"],"source_titles":["September 9, 2003"],"source_url":null,"source_urls":[],"occurrence_count":2,"source_occurrences":[{"occurrence_id":"3b4480aa4603a2f99ed225e10e05d5a2aba12cf40a87ca8c0b22857886c9eb85","filename":"patches_1999-2010_combined.txt","adapter":"text","source_offset":546734,"item_index":null,"heading":"September 9, 2003","source_url":null,"source_url_raw":null,"published":null,"source_kind":"text","excerpt":false,"year_inferred":false},{"occurrence_id":"895d7107fef233d072567629a4fa9ea99239995134d444092cbceab95bd09efe","filename":"patches-2003-2.txt","adapter":"text","source_offset":29408,"item_index":null,"heading":"September 9, 2003","source_url":null,"source_url_raw":null,"published":null,"source_kind":"text","excerpt":false,"year_inferred":false}],"year_inferred":false,"sequence":1,"slug":"2003-09-09-1","id":"2003-09-09-1"},{"patch_date":"2003-08-26","effective_date":"2003-08-26","display_date":"August 26, 2003","title":"August 26, 2003","year":2003,"month":8,"kind":"live","era":"EverQuest Live","expansion":"The Legacy of Ykesha","expansion_code":"the-legacy-of-ykesha","categories":[{"slug":"bug-fixes","label":"Bug Fixes"},{"slug":"classes","label":"Classes"},{"slug":"spells-aa","label":"Spells & AA"},{"slug":"items","label":"Items"},{"slug":"zones-npcs","label":"Zones & NPCs"},{"slug":"quests-events","label":"Quests & Events"},{"slug":"ui","label":"UI"},{"slug":"servers","label":"Servers"},{"slug":"audio-graphics","label":"Audio & Graphics"},{"slug":"expansions","label":"Expansions"}],"sections":["Zone Revamps","Interface","Alternate Advancement","Spells","Zones and Quests","New Player Improvements","Misc","UI Files","Changed","New","Removed"],"change_count":50,"word_count":1428,"summary":"Zone Revamps ** The Deep, Charasis (Howling Stones), Dragon Necropolis, Siren's Grotto, The Hole, The City of Mist, and The Accursed Temple of Cazic- Thule have been partially revamped.

Gameplay in these zones has been \nimproved, based on feedback from players and careful review of the \ncontent. The changes are not dramatic, but make these zones more \nentertaining to play in. \n\n- The Plane of Mischief, home of the trickster Bristlebane, has \nundergone an extensive revamp. As one of the most unusual places to \nvisit in EverQuest, this zone is a very interesting challenge, if you \nhave a sturdy funny bone. The improved zone is now available on \nStormhammer. \n\n- The Greig's End revamp is now available on the Live servers. The \nredesign includes new encounters, items, traps, and events that make \nthe zone a challenge for the experience group, with plenty of events \nfor a raid group. \n\n** Interface ** \n\n- /memspellset # - Using this command memorizes one of your saved spell \nsets. # is the number or name (or shortened name) of the spell set you \nwish to memorize. Note that if you use a shortened version of the spell \nset name, it will match the first spell set that has those characters, \nso /memspellset Dots will find your \"Dots and Charms\", or \"Dots\", or \n\"Dotsandstuff\" - whichever shows up first on your list. \n\n- A Platinum slot has been added to the shared bank to make \ntransactions between characters on the same account more convenient. \n\n- Clip Plane - The clip plane slider should work more reliably now. \nWhere before it may not have done anything until lowered to a very low \npercentage, now the slider should have an effect at any setting. \n\n- Filters for your own pet's messages have been added. Your own pet's \nattacks are no longer subject to the Other Attacks/Misses filters. On \nthe options screen there is now a separate button for filtering YOUR \nPet attack messages. Also, the ability to redirect your pet attack \nmessages to any chat window has been added to the chat window context \nmenus. \n\n- /random messages can now be sent to any chat window you'd like. There \nis no option to filter these messages, however, to prevent any loss of \nthe information in cases where it is needed (meaning, people can't \nclaim that they didn't see the /random that they lost just to force a \nre-roll). \n\n- The Journal Window has been changed to make it easier to use and \nunderstand. We've merged the the two information windows into a single \nwindow. \n\n- Fixed a bug in the Looking for Group window. The Get Matches button \nshould no longer grey out at inappropriate times. \n\n- The Bad Word Filter now filters chat channel text as well as other \ngame text. \n\n- To make things a little more logical, the /inspect command will allow \ncharacters to inspect interactive objects for LDoN, and /toggleinspect \nallows you to toggle on or off the ability to inspect other player \ncharacters using the mouse. \n\n** Alternate Advancement ** \n\n- Purify Soul reuse time reduced from 72 minutes to 30 minutes. \n\n- Divine Resurrection reuse time reduced from 36 hours to 18 hours. \n\n- Celestial Regeneration reuse timer reduced from 72 minutes to 15 \nminutes. We have increased the duration from 24 seconds to 48 seconds, \nadjusted the amount healed, and made this a group effect. \n\n- Celestial Renewal duration increased from 24 seconds to 48 seconds, \nadjusted the amount healed, and this has become a group effect. \n\n- Harmtouch has been fixed. There was a problem with the timer for \nHarmtouch that would make it appear to reset when the character was \nlogged out, even though it does not reset until the appropriate amount \nof time has passed. \n\n- Summon Death Charger and Summon Holy Steed have been fixed. We fixed \na bug that caused these abilities to fail until the character zoned or \nlogged out. \n\n- Endless Quiver no longer grants an endless supply of thrown weapons, \nonly arrows. \n\n** Spells ** \n\n- Unswerving Hammer of Faith has had its mana cost reduced from 250 to \n175. \n\n- Divine Barrier no longer has a damage shield component and has gained \nthree times the healing effect. \n\n- Celestial Remedy has had its mana cost lowered from 190 to 150. \n\n- A targeting issue with pets is now fixed. There was a bug that caused \npets to be untargetable with the F1 key and with pet spells that target \nthe pet automatically. This was happening only if a pet was summoned \nand then a mount was summoned. \n\n- AE Rain Spells were resisted 100% of the time when an NPC was above \nlevel 20 and had less than 10% of its hit points left. This will no \nlonger happen. \n\n- Eye of Zomm would cause a player's pet to kill itself if that pet was \ncommanded to kill the owner's Eye. This has been corrected. Also, the \nEye no longer moves at incredible speed under water, but they can now \nswim up and down in water. \n\n- PBAoE Songs no longer prevent a bard from singing if used while the \nbard has himself targeted. \n\n- Illusions can once again be cast on others while the caster is on a \nmount. \n\n- When Invisibility drops due to looting a corpse, the player will be \ninformed that their invisibility has dropped. \n\n- Pets no longer break enthrall. \n\n- Armor of the Zealot will no longer be overwritten by Focus of Soul \nand Focus of the Seventh. Blessed Armor of the Risen and Ancient: High \nPriest's Bulwark will no longer be overwritten by Focus of Spirit or \nKhura's Focusing. Also, Pact of Hate and Call of Darkness should stack \nproperly (meaning that they won't stack). \n\n- Illusion: Guktan was fixed on all servers a little while ago. We just \nwanted you to be aware that the spell will make the target look like a \nGuktan, not a male human. \n\n** Zones and Quests ** \n\n- Bazaar - We have increased the limit on the number of traders in the \nbazaar. We fixed an issue that would cause the \"Begin Trader\" button to \nbe disabled if a player tried to use it when the maximum number of \ntraders was reached. And the \"Held\" slot option was removed from the \nsearch, since it is not a valid option. \n\n- The Coirnav Encounter has been modified to respawn faster when the \nencounter is failed badly (if the attempt fails to reach a certain \ndepth in the encounter). \n\n- The Illusion: Guktan quest had some issues. We have addressed them. \n\n** New Player Improvements ** \n\n- After creating a new character, that character is the default \nselection on the character select screen. \n\n- At character creation, left-clicking on an attribute displays text \nthat explains what that attribute is important for. Right-clicking \nallocates the maximum possible points to that attribute. \n\n- To help reduce clutter for the new player, the Story window no longer \npops up when a player first logs in. \n\n- When a context Tip window pops up, if the Tip of the Day is still \nopen, the Tip of the Day window will close. Again, this is to help \nreduce the clutter. \n\n- We've change the name of the \"Camp\" button in the Actions window to \n\"Camp (Exit)\" for clarity. \n\n- The Inventory Tip window now explains how to read books and notes, \nhow to give/trade items with NPC's, and how to scribe spells. \n\n- We've added a text message on the screen to inform players when they \nare loading a zone, and what zone they are about to enter. \n\n- Added numeric background to buttons in the Hot Button window to make \nit easier to tell which button corresponds to which number key. \n\n- The Mousewheel zoom is now enabled by default. \n\n- New installations of EverQuest will default to 1024x768 resolution. \n\n** Misc ** \n\n- Fixed a bug that caused some equipment to be invisible on characters \ncreated recently (since our update on August 6th). \n\n- Luclin elemental models will now display if selected, regardless of \nother settings for Luclin models. You can turn these models on with no \nother Luclin models active, and you will see the Luclin elemental. \n\n- Hitting cancel on a trade window or using the /consent or /deny \ncommands will now only send you one message, not two. \n\n** UI Files ** \n\n* Changed * \n\nEQUI_BankWnd.xml \nEQUI_BigBankWnd.xml \nEQUI_OptionsWindow.xml \nEQUI_ActionsWindow.xml \nEQUI_JournalNPCWnd.xml \nSIDL.xml \nEQUI_Animations.xml \nEQUI_HotButtonWnd.xml \nEQUI.xml \n\ndragitem26.tga \n\n* New * \n\ndragitem27.tga \nwindow_pieces06.tga \nwindow_pieces07.tga \n\n* Removed * \n\nEQUI_JournalTextWnd.xml","content_hash":"f561c8b2bf09bde27ed9f0dba082f99ffd0ab724f7684939b23bbcda3d6faead","source_files":["patches-2003-2.txt","patches_1999-2008_combined.md","patches_1999-2010_combined.txt"],"source_titles":["August 26, 2003"],"source_url":null,"source_urls":[],"occurrence_count":3,"source_occurrences":[{"occurrence_id":"8ffc0fe84009e649bd07ed5ceaf0558a8f0fae3fa49307f01dbee98beb83e687","filename":"patches_1999-2008_combined.md","adapter":"markdown","source_offset":521343,"item_index":null,"heading":"August 26, 2003","source_url":null,"source_url_raw":null,"published":null,"source_kind":"markdown","excerpt":false,"year_inferred":false},{"occurrence_id":"d75e30a74267ff0feb624d1c18352dce28ab8c8a9aacda2c5cf148747f24a895","filename":"patches_1999-2010_combined.txt","adapter":"text","source_offset":537293,"item_index":null,"heading":"August 26, 2003","source_url":null,"source_url_raw":null,"published":null,"source_kind":"text","excerpt":false,"year_inferred":false},{"occurrence_id":"6c110efffbf22ffb9235169311dd4355066446f24fb7840e7161089b93881c4a","filename":"patches-2003-2.txt","adapter":"text","source_offset":19967,"item_index":null,"heading":"August 26, 2003","source_url":null,"source_url_raw":null,"published":null,"source_kind":"text","excerpt":false,"year_inferred":false}],"year_inferred":false,"sequence":1,"slug":"2003-08-26-1","id":"2003-08-26-1"},{"patch_date":"2003-08-06","effective_date":"2003-08-06","display_date":"August 6, 2003 3:00 am","title":"August 6, 2003 3:00 am","year":2003,"month":8,"kind":"live","era":"EverQuest Live","expansion":"The Legacy of Ykesha","expansion_code":"the-legacy-of-ykesha","categories":[{"slug":"bug-fixes","label":"Bug Fixes"},{"slug":"classes","label":"Classes"},{"slug":"spells-aa","label":"Spells & AA"},{"slug":"items","label":"Items"},{"slug":"zones-npcs","label":"Zones & NPCs"},{"slug":"quests-events","label":"Quests & Events"},{"slug":"tradeskills","label":"Tradeskills"},{"slug":"servers","label":"Servers"},{"slug":"audio-graphics","label":"Audio & Graphics"},{"slug":"expansions","label":"Expansions"}],"sections":["New Adventure in Lavastorm!","Spells","Items","Trade Skills","Quests and Zones","Miscellaneous","Fan Faire"],"change_count":18,"word_count":728,"summary":"Note: Some internal data restructuring created a delay in the introduction of the new platinum slot in the shared bank and the new text filters.

We will bring those to the Live servers as soon as we \ncan. \n\n** New Adventure in Lavastorm! ** \n\nIn the depths of the Lavastorm Mountains there is only one ruler. But \neven his burning breath and power have their limits. Rumor has it that \nthere is wealth and danger in locations even further below the boiling \nlands than Lord Nagafen can reach. These tales have been spreading like \nripples on a calm lake, and their point of origin appears to be an \nupstart barbarian named Morden. Some say that he's already delved these \nfabled caverns and taken what there was of value. Other say that he \ncouldn't have carried it all off by himself. But most say that he's a \nrogue, a teller of tales, and not to be trusted. Will you discover the \ntruth and brave the heat, or will you sit beside your cozy campfire and \nlisten to stories? \n\nThis new adventure zone will only be around for a while, so you may \nwant to visit soon. \n\n** Spells ** \n\n- Summoned Burning Affliction focus items added - Mages have four new \nspells, Summon Wooden Bracelet, Summon Stone Bracelet, Summon Iron \nBracelet, and Summon Steel Bracelet. The bracelets summoned provide the \nBurning Affliction effect for DoT spells. \n- Summoned container spells updated - The Quiver of Marr, Bandoleer of \nLuclin and the Pouch of Quellious now appear filled with the \nappropriate item (for example, the Quiver of Marr now appears with six \nstacks of arrows). Also, these items should all be exactly the same, so \nthe quiver function should work properly. \n- Mass Enchant spells corrected - The mass enchant spells for \nAdamantite, Brellium, Mithril and Steel now create the 5 enchanted \nblocks that they should. \n- Illusion: Guktan is available - This is an illusion spell for the new \nFroglok models. \n- Illusion: Scaled Wolf is available - This is an illusion spell for \nthe Scaled Wolf seen in Kunark. \n- Tiny Companion - The spell scroll for this spell is no longer No \nDrop. \n- Dooming Darkness no longer overwrites Cascading Darkness. \n\n** Items ** \n\n- Moss Covered Hood - This item can now be equipped by all classes. \n- Silk String - This item is now stackable. \n\n** Trade Skills ** \n\n- New Fletching recipes added - We've added several new Karana-only \nfletching recipes to help round out that skill. \n\n** Quests and Zones ** \n\n- Halls of Betrayal - Corrected an error with some of the quest item \ndrops in this zone. \n- Plane of Time - The events in Plane of Time B now remember the \nprogress your raid has made through the zone when you leave and will \nrestore you to the same state when you return. \n- Kagazz will respond when you ask him about fasteners. \n- Experience in city zones updated - Some time around the release of \nPlanes of Power we reduced the experience gain in some city zones. The \nexperience gained from quests in those zone has been increased. \n- Ogre newbie quests - Added a weapon quest for young ogres. \n- Iksar Necromancer Spell Vendors - The Iksar necromancer spell vendors \nhave moved and are a lot closer to the necromancer guild. This should \nmake it easier for new necromancers to find these vendors and will \nhopefully boost their sales. \n\n** Miscellaneous ** \n\n- Spell book bug - Corrected a bug that was causing characters to be \nrandomly forced to stand up when in their spell book. \n- Client crash information - If your game crashes on the client side, a \ndialogue box will come up asking if you'd like to send us the \ninformation about the crash. This information may help us pinpoint \nproblems and make it easier to fix them. Only information relevant to \nthe crash, your character name, server name and the zone you were in \nwill be sent. \n\n** Fan Faire ** \n\nChicago Fan Faire is sneaking up on us!

This \nis a great chance to revisit these zones. \n\n- Chardok - Treachery and lies are not uncommon in the court of the \nOverking. But there are some unusual rumors being told by some unusual \nadventurers. Some say that there is strife within the council of the \nOverking, and that heroes may find adventure there while that strife \nlasts. OOC: We're introducing a new zone and a new zone type. The Halls \nof Betrayal is a \"pocket zone\", and new type of zone for EverQuest. It \nwill exist for a short time to be part of the storyline, and then will \nbe gone. So if you're going to see it, now is the time. \n\n- Grieg's End revamp going to Legends - The redesign includes new \nencounters, items, traps, and events that make the zone a challenge for \nthe experience group, with plenty of events for a raid group. \n\n- Plane of Earth B - we have removed the Call of the Hero restrictions \nin this zone. \n\n- Rallos Zek - the Warlord will now kick anyone out of the zone that is \non his hate list and is not in a valid raid greater then 20 people in \nsize. This should prevent single players being able to attack him and \ngrief other players who are making a valid attempt at him. This is in \naddition to the previous limitations of having only one raid allowed to \nattack him at any given time. \n\n- Increased Experience - We have increased the experience modifier in \nthe Tower of Solusek Ro, Halls of Honor, The Temple of Marr, and the \nLair of Terris Thule. \n\n- Bastion of Thunder - The mini-bosses in Bastion of Thunder no longer \nspawn immediately after the zone comes up. \n\n** Tradeskills ** \n\n- Tradeskill chance of failures changed - The higher your skill is over \nthe trivial of the combine, the less likely you are to fail with a \ncombine. This is a reduction on the chance to always fail. \n\n- Stackable - Ice Burrower Silk, Pie Tins and Muffin Tins are now \nstackable. \n\n** Spells ** \n\n- New Imbue, Enchant, and Thicken spells - New Imbue, Enchant, and \nThicken spells have been added that create five magical items rather \nthan just one. These spells require five components and take longer to \ncast and use more mana. \n\n- Damage Over Time Spell Foci - Extended Affliction has been changed to \nBurning Affliction, which causes DoT spells to do more damage instead \nof having a longer duration. \n\n- Enthrall spells - Enthrall spells will not un-stun the target when \nthey wear off if there are other enthrall spells on that target. Also, \nwhen an enthrall spell breaks due to damage it will now remove all \nEnthrall spells, not just the first one it finds. \n\n- Ferocity - We have removed the component requirement for Ferocity. \n\n- Kindle - We have added a new Magician spell to the game called \nKindle. \n\n- Force of Akera - We have added a new Paladin spell to the game called \nForce of Akera. \n\n- Burnout V - this spell should now stack with the Shielding line of \nspells. \n\n- New Spell levels for Clarity line - Boon of the Clear Mind is now a \nlevel 44 spell, Clarity II is now a level 52 spell and Gift of Pure \nThought is now level 56. \n\n- Area of Effect spells - AoE spells that do not affect your group in \nPvP no longer affect your Raid in PvP either. \n\n- Direct Damage spell messages - Striking the killing blow with a \ndirect damage spell will no longer show a double cast on the spell \nmessage. \n\n- Target Group Buff - TGB will no longer work with any illusions. \n\n- Illusion - With Permanent Illusion, Levitation effects will no longer \nbe stripped when zoning and gnome enchanters with a large-size illusion \nwill no longer return to gnome size after zoning. In general, \ncharacters that are under the effect of a size-changing illusion should \nbe seen properly by everyone. \n\n- Song Spam - Bards should see less spam when they hit low level PCs \nwith their high level songs. \n\n- Treeform - This spell should now work in Luclin outdoor zones. \n\n- Draught of Lightning - We have added a new Wizard spell to the game \ncalled Draught of Lightning. \n\n** Items ** \n\n- Bards Using Components - Bards using right-click items with a casting \ntime greater than 0 will now expend any required components. \n\n- Ornate Armor Molds - These molds are more readily available. \n\n- Spellshield - Spellshield items now reduces spell damage by a \npercentage rather than a fixed amount. \n\n- Strikethrough and Stun Resist - You will now receive a message when \nStrikethrough and Stun Resist work. \n\n** Quests ** \n\n- Newbie Quests - Erudites, Trolls, Ogres and Barbarians now have \nquests in their newbie areas similar to those implemented for all other \nraces. This completes the updated newbie quests for all races. \n\n- Seana and Stefan Marsinger - These two will be clearer when giving \ntheir quest requests, and will return them if you hand them to the \nwrong Marsinger. \n\n- Bors Wharhammer - He will be checking level instead of flags as a \nrequirement for his quests to bring him in-line with the flag removals \nfor the lower tier planes. \n\n** Alternate Advancement ** \n\n- Frenzied Burnout - this ability has been changed to better stack with \nthe Burnout spells. The attack speed portion of the spell has been \nreduced in percentage (it hastes the pet much less), but changed to a \n\"bard\" haste which will stack with Burnout V. The strength bonus has \nalso been decreased but made to stack with that of Burnout V. \n\n** Skills ** \n\n- Sneak - Sneak will now work under water. \n\n- Instill Doubt - Instill Doubt will now work if the Monk is using his \nother skills. Previously, use of other skills such as a kick would \ncause Instill Doubt to fail. \n\n** Interface ** \n\n- Camera - We have added the ability to bind cameras to keys. This will \nallow players to hit one key to switch to a desired camera rather than \nhaving to cycle through the F9 camera chain. This can be changed in the \nOptions window (Alt-O) under the Keyboard tab (select \"camera\" from the \nlist). \n\n- Auto-inventory - Items right-clicked off your corpse will now be \nplace into your inventory in the correct order. \n\n- Spell Favorites - Creating a spell favorite name that matches a name \nthat already exists will cause the new favorite to be saved over the \nold (whereas before it would create a second list with the same name). \n\n- Random name generator - Asking for a name should no longer result in \na name that will be rejected due to duplication. Note: names can still \nbe rejected by GM's. \n\n- Bow Graphics - Bows that have been autoequipped will now display a \ngraphic. \n\n- Raids - The creation of a group will now work from inside a raid. \n\n- New Filters - We've added a Melee Warnings filter. It will filter out \n\"cannot see your target\" and \"cannot hit them from here\" messages, \nalong with other such melee warnings. \n\n- Spell category lists - We moved a few of the Necromancer spells \naround on the category lists (from right-clicking spell gems) to make \nmore sense. \n\n** Miscellaneous ** \n\n- Updated character creation descriptions - Right-clicking the class, \nrace or statistic buttons while in the character creation screen will \ndisplay a detailed explanation of the item clicked. \n\n- Clicking on corpses - Right-clicking on a PC corpse other than your \nown will no longer make a character visible. \n\n- Mounts - Fixed a bug with mounts showing up with incorrect Luclin \nmodel settings. Mounts should now only show up when the Luclin models \nfor the character race of the rider AND mounts/elementals are both on. \n\nAlso, as a heads up to players that have created their own user \ninterfaces for EverQuest, these are the interface files that we have \nchanged: \n\nEQUI_Optionswnd.xml \nEQUI.xml \nEQUI_charactercreate.xml","content_hash":"85bb488d73aa0267bd4310c3ab34249082685497fac8bbfb95875897e01a5c19","source_files":["patches-2003-2.txt","patches_1999-2008_combined.md","patches_1999-2010_combined.txt"],"source_titles":["July 10, 2003"],"source_url":null,"source_urls":[],"occurrence_count":3,"source_occurrences":[{"occurrence_id":"a4331cc926160ba9a6f3bf3fcf7d99fd8da34452520b7deb61470389492bb71b","filename":"patches_1999-2008_combined.md","adapter":"markdown","source_offset":502844,"item_index":null,"heading":"July 10, 2003","source_url":null,"source_url_raw":null,"published":null,"source_kind":"markdown","excerpt":false,"year_inferred":false},{"occurrence_id":"3b409984e17af4f294935b53c17b5b726475785353c4537c948bf565a6474f3f","filename":"patches_1999-2010_combined.txt","adapter":"text","source_offset":518213,"item_index":null,"heading":"July 10, 2003","source_url":null,"source_url_raw":null,"published":null,"source_kind":"text","excerpt":false,"year_inferred":false},{"occurrence_id":"2f1a54ba498007926cddf2299ac3fdfd97c34ca5d5e4297a1344a096fc7e028f","filename":"patches-2003-2.txt","adapter":"text","source_offset":887,"item_index":null,"heading":"July 10, 2003","source_url":null,"source_url_raw":null,"published":null,"source_kind":"text","excerpt":false,"year_inferred":false}],"year_inferred":false,"sequence":1,"slug":"2003-07-10-1","id":"2003-07-10-1"},{"patch_date":"2003-06-17","effective_date":"2003-06-17","display_date":"June 17, 2003","title":"June 17, 2003","year":2003,"month":6,"kind":"live","era":"EverQuest Live","expansion":"The Legacy of Ykesha","expansion_code":"the-legacy-of-ykesha","categories":[{"slug":"audio-graphics","label":"Audio & Graphics"},{"slug":"expansions","label":"Expansions"}],"sections":[],"change_count":0,"word_count":41,"summary":"We have updated the Run, Walk and Turn animations for the Luclin models.

After all, this is a Massively Multiplayer game.\n\nPrior to this update groups gained a 2% to 20% experience bonus for \nhaving two to six members.\n\nAs of today this bonus has increased to range from 20% to 80% for \nhaving two to five members. When a group adds a sixth member, the 80% \nbonus remains, but the experience gained is only divided by 5 before \nbeing distributed. The sixth group member no longer causes the \nexperience gain to be divided by 6.\n\nPlanes of Power zones had an increased experience award above and \nbeyond those of most other zones. Because of these new dramatic \nimprovements to group experience gains, we will be reducing the zone-\nspecific experience bonus for Planes of Power zones a bit. As long as \ncharacter is grouped with at least one other in these zones, they will \nsee an improvement in experience gain over the old system. The one down \nside to the new system is that there will be a small decrease in \nexperience for those who do not group, and only for those who do so in \nPlanes of Power zones.\n\n** Experience System Change - Level 60+ **\n\nIn addition to the above changes, we have increased the range of NPC \nlevels that give a character experience after they reach level 60. This \nwill open up many of the \"old world\" zones to players previously \nrestricted to Planes of Power zones for experience gain. The range of \nNPCs that will be \"blue\" to a level 65 character has been increased as \nfar as level 50, with the \"light blue\" range extending to level 45. The \nbest experience gains, however, are still for fighting things around \nand above your level. This should open up areas for high level \ncharacters in groups and solo.\n\n** Interface **\n\n- Shared Bank Vault - We've added two shared bank slots to the \ninterface. These extra bank slots can be accessed by any character on \nthe same account and server. No-Drop and No Rent items can't be placed \nin these bank slots, and only one of any specific Lore item can exist \nin the shared bank at any time.\n\n- Spell Context Menus - This is a new interface menu that will make \nmemorizing spells less tedious. To access the spell menu, just right-\nclick an empty spell gem. This will open a list of spell categories. \nPoint your mouse at a category and a list of spells will be displayed. \nSelect a spell from that list to memorize it in that slot. Your \ncharacter will sit down, memorize the spell and stand back up.\n\n- Spell Favorites - Spell favorites are an easy way to memorize a full \nset of eight spells without the tedious book searching. Right-clicking \non the spellbook icon in your spell window will open up the spell \nfavorites menu. You will be able to save your current spell lineup as a \nfavorite, delete a favorite or memorize all the spells in one of your \nalready saved spell sets. You can save as many as ten sets of spell \nfavorites. As with the new spell context menus mentioned above, this \nwill not replace the spellbook, it is meant to make memorizing large \nnumbers of spells more convenient.\n\n- Spell Descriptions - We have expanded the spell description window. \nAlong with the information that has always been available, we have \nadded an explanation about what the spell does in general that includes \ndamage and duration when appropriate. You can see these new \ndescriptions by right-clicking and holding on the spell scroll, the \nspell gem in your Spells window, or the spell icon in your spellbook.\n\n- New Camera - We've added a new camera mode to the game. Lovingly \ndubbed the EQ Cam, it uses the mouse wheel to allow you to zoom away \nfrom your character into a \"chase\" camera. This only works from first \nperson mode (the default view). Using the mouse wheel you can determine \nthe distance of the camera from your character, or to zoom back into \nfirst person mode. When in the chase mode, mouselook turns the \ncharacter and camera together and you can change the pitch of the \ncamera using the mouse.\n\n- NPC Names - Many NPCs will be displaying additional titles to make it \nclearer what their job is. For example, an NPC that sells tailoring \nsupplies may have the title [Tailor Supplies] under their name. This \nwill help folks find the proper merchant. It's analogous to them \nhanging out their shingle.\n\n- Rare Character Select Crash - Using the arrow keys to try to change \nthe selected character at the character select screen when there were \nno characters on the account was causing people to crash out of the \ngame. That's fixed now.\n\n- Guild Message of the Day - Using certain HTML codes when setting up a \nGuild Message of the Day was causing all members of the guild to crash. \nWhile this may have been amusing for pranks on your guild, we still \ndecided to fix it.\n\n** Spells **\n\n- Spell level limits now enforced - Some high level spells cannot be \ncast on characters under a certain level. In the past a caster could \nget around this level restriction when casting a group version of a \nspell by targeting a higher level group member, and the spell would \ntake effect on the whole group, regardless of their level. That \nloophole has been closed. We're sorry if you have grown accustomed to \nthe system working this way, but those level restrictions are important \nto the integrity of lower level gameplay.\n\n- Incineration and Conglaciation of Bones - Both of these spells should \nnow crit and stack (when cast by different casters).\n\n- Divine Intervention - This spell should now be reporting the amount \nof healing it delivers.\n\n- Healing Messages - The target of a healing spell will now get a \nmessage telling them the caster's name and the amount of healing they \nreceive.\n\n- Reporting Damage Over Time - Damage over Time (DoT) done to NPCs will \nnow be reported to the caster every time it does damage. These messages \ncan be filtered in the Options window.\n\n- Boon of the Garou - The level restriction for this spell has been \nremoved. We have also fixed a bug with the spell that would prevent it \nfrom being cast on target that are not on a horse if the enchanter is \non horseback (spell still cannot affect those on horseback).\n\n- Wake of Karana - To improve the usefulness of this spell, we have \nlowered the recast time from 90 seconds to 15 seconds.\n\n- Beastlord Warders - Beastlords will once again be able to summon \ntheir warders in the Plane of Sky. Sorry for the delay in getting this \none fixed properly.\n\n- Familiars - Familiars will no longer attempt to equip items. This was \ncausing them to try to wear weapons inside their heads, which probably \nisn't a good thing for them to do.\n\n- Spirit spell line - We have added +75 dexterity to the effects of \nSpirit of Flame, Spirit of Rellic, and Spirit of Snow.\n\n- Spell stacking and blocking - Changed the following spell lines to \ncause them to bounce off of each other. Each line should block \neverything from the other line, but still be overwritten by spells of \nthe same line.\n\nSpiritual Strength\nSpiritual Brawn\nSpiritual Vigor\n\nStrength of Tunare\nStrength of Nature\n\nBrell's Mountainous Barrier\nBrell's Stalwart Shield\nBrell's Steadfast Aegis\n\n- Translocation spells - Fixed a bug with translocation spells. If a \nsecond translocation spell was cast on a character before he had \naccepted the first, both would fail.\n\n- Spell casting pets - In the past, pets were restricted to casting \nspells of level 20 and below. We have given them access to higher level \nspells. You may want to be careful with them until you get used to \ntheir new abilities. \n\n- Drunken Riders - We fixed an odd bug that allowed people who were \nextremely drunk to cast spells without mana cost while on a horse. Yes, \ncrazy bugs like that actually happen. :)\n\n** Zones **\n\n- Droga and Nurga - The mines of Nurga have been inhabited by crafty \nGoblins and stolid Burynai for many long years, digging and slaving \naway under the earth. It's time to shake them up! The redesign for \nthese zones are now on the Legends server, Stormhammer. The mines of \nNurga are a fun zone for characters of levels about 40 to 55. The \nTemple of Droga accommodates characters around 50th to 65th level. Both \nzones will have some new events and quest, while retaining the distinct \nfeel of the zones.\n\n- Veksar - Since the rediscovery of the lands of Kunark, there have \nbeen rumors springing from the ancient lore of the Iksar. Most of those \nrumors remain unfounded, as gaining access to the lore of the insular \nIksar is no easy task. One of the most persistent legends is about a \ncity that lies buried under the Lake of Ill Omen. That city was called \nVeksar, and it is up to you to discover the tale of its fate.\n\n- Planes of Power access - Planes of Power has provided us with \nvaluable insight into the group and guild dynamics that are involved in \nlarge scale games. The way that we had expected guilds to advance \nthrough the story of Planes of Power has become a problem for some \nguilds as some members have fallen behind and found it difficult to \ncatch up. Obviously this was not our intention. We want people to play \nwith their friends and guild mates.\n\nTo correct this issue, we will be allowing characters to enter the \nfollowing Planes of Power zones by meeting a simple level requirement:\n\nLevel 55 and over\nPlane of Storms\nPlane of Torment\nPlane of Valor\nCrypt of Decay\n\nLevel 62 and over\nBastion of Thunder\nHalls of Honor\n\nCharacters that don't meet the level requirement may still enter these \nzones using the existing flags, and raids may still bring additional \nunflagged or lower level characters with them. All other planes with \nflag or story requirements for entry will still require those flags, \nand those flags can still be obtained as they always have.\n\nThis will make the majority of Planes of Power zones available to \ncharacters over the minimum level, and will allow their guilds to \ntravel and adventure together in the planes. We understand that those \nthat have already earned the entry flags for these zones have put some \neffort into that accomplishment. We will be giving a reward to those \nthat have done so, though you'll have to wait to see what that reward \nis.\n\nIf you have completed the requirements for flags for these zones, you \nmay wish to visit Gram Dunnar. Part of the reward for gaining entry \nflags is in the form of experience. \n\n+++ Before speaking to Gram Dunnar, be sure you have your experience \ndistribution set as you'd like it between standard and alternate advancement experience. +++\n\n- Great Divide - The Plane of Knowledge portal in the Great Divide will \nnow be available when the Ring War is in progress.\n\n- Bastion of Thunder - We have upgraded the loot available from many of \nthe mini-bosses in the Bastion of Thunder to make the reward more \ninline with the risk.\n\n- Sol Ro's Tower - They look like frogs, hop like frogs and now they \neven react to spells like frogs. Flame Frogs are now flagged as \nanimals.\n\n- Rallos Zek encounter - Rallos Zek will remove anyone from the zone \nthat attacks him if they are not part of the raid that has him engaged. \nEven in war, there are rules to be followed.\n\n** Items **\n\n- Tradeskill item flag - There is a new flag on items. When viewing the \ninformation about an item, if you see that it has a Tradeskill flag, it \nis an item that can be used in a tradeskill recipe. This isn't to \nclearly spell out every item that is used in every tradeskill recipe. \nThe intent is to assist those who are finding items that do not already \nhave an obvious use, by letting them know that the item is used in a \ntradeskill recipe, somewhere.\n\n- LoY \"Fine Steel\" - Many of the more commonly dropped weapons in the \nLegacy of Ykesha zones were a bit too powerful for the ease and level \nneeded to get them. Some of the most out of line items were the \nHarpoon, Luggald Trident, and Luggald Dagger. We've decided that it is \nnecessary to tune them down a bit.\n\n- The Hollow Acrylia Obelisk - This is the old Acrylia key. It has been \nchanged into a charm. This charm can be used by anyone, not just those \nthat own LoY.\n\n- Bows - The Longbow of the Grimlings and the Bow of Gloaming have both \nbeen given ranges. They can now be used properly.\n\n- The Burning Flame Shield - This item had the wrong resist modifiers. \nIt now has a +30 fire resistance and a -10 cold resistance.\n\n- Bazaar Search - Non-instrument items with instrument modifiers will \nnow show up in instrument type searches in the Bazaar.\n\n- Ornate Stone Medicine Totem - This item can now be equipped.\n\n- Storm Reaper Thorn Machete - This newbie Halfling quest weapon is now \nflagged as magical.\n\n- Charm of the Brotherhood - This item will now give a bonus when \ngrouped with others of either the same class or race.\n\n- Dagger of Distraction - This item can no longer be used by Monks.\n\n- Edge of Eternity - Beastlords and monks can no longer use this item.\n\n- Veil of Lost Hopes and Orb of Clinging Death - The casting times on \nboth of these items has been lowered.\n\n- Magi`Kot's Pants of Convergence - The effect on this item has been \nchanged to summon a Rod of Mystical Transvergance.\n\n- Cloak of the Falling Skies - The focus effect this item has changed \nto Preservation of Solusek\n\n- The Wristguard of Keen Vision - This item is now useable by int. \ncasters.\n\n- The Mask of Conceptual Energy - This item is now useable by priests.\n\n** Alternate Advancement **\n\n- Lifeburn - This ability would cause an undue amount of aggro to be \ngenerated because it would bring the caster to an extremely low number \nof hit points, making them look like tasty targets to enemies nearby. \nTo lessen this problem, Lifeburn will no longer reduce the caster to 10 \nhit points, but to about one fourth of the caster's hit points. This \nshould prevent the additional agro generated while retaining the risk \nfor using the ability.\n\n- Feigned Minion - The Child of Bertoxxulous pet will no longer cast \nbuff spells to break his feign when under the Feigned Minion effect.\n\n** Quests and Tradeskills **\n\n- Bankers - There were a few quests that required giving an item to a \nbanker. When we recently removed the ability for characters to give \nitems to bankers to help prevent mistakenly losing items, those quests \nbecame unavailable. We have moved those quests to new NPCs. If you see \nany other quests that ask you to give something to a banker, please use \n/bug and report it to us.\n\n- Newly Stackable Items - Valor Crystals, Ceramic Linings, Holgresh Fur \nand Casks are now stackable. Also, Valor Crystals can be sold to \nvendors. \n\n- Sewer Catfish - These unappetizing fish have begun to appear in \nCabilis.\n\n- Klok Foob - Will now accept a Catfish Croak Sandwich.\n\n** Changes for New Characters **\n\n- Newbie Starting Locations - We've modified all locations where new \ncharacters start to make them a bit more convenient for the new player. \nThey should all start very near their guild masters.\n\n- Nudging - New characters will be given a text message to encourage \nthem to hand in their newbie note to their guild master. For new \nplayers, this is one of the key things to get them involved in \ngameplay, and one of the easiest to overlook.\n\n- Guild Masters - To help guide new characters, Guild Masters now take \na more active role in helping out new recruits by directing them to \nsome starting points for quests.\n\n- Quests - There are even more quests in the newbie zones, most of them \nrevolving around the pests that seem to inhabit even the grandest \ncities.\n\n** Miscellaneous **\n\n- We are working on an update to the Luclin player character model \nanimations. This will not be a complete revamp of all the animations, \nbut will address some of the most common concerns. However, in the mean \ntime you may see some unusual animations, particularly when shorter PCs \nare running.\n\n** UI File Changes **\n\nNOTE: In order to see the new Shared Bank slots, you will need to use \nthe default bank window, or modify your custom bank window to include \nthe new slots.\n\nEQUI_Optionswnd.xml\nEQUIhelpwnd.xml\nBankwnd.xml\nBigBankwnd.xml\nHelp.html\n\nNoted Later: The reward for planar progression has been added. If you \nhave completed the requirements for flags for the newly opened Planes \nof Power zones, you may wish to visit Gram Dunnar in the Plane of \nKnowledge.","content_hash":"e86042e47beddb28f80434efb1425997fd5b4c07a348f257f9b147cc5e4b2e56","source_files":["patches-2003-1.txt","patches_1999-2008_combined.md","patches_1999-2010_combined.txt"],"source_titles":["June 11, 2003"],"source_url":null,"source_urls":[],"occurrence_count":3,"source_occurrences":[{"occurrence_id":"044f3bc70c21eab7458e052658a4884ff2fef3adf986551b10f8036331093e42","filename":"patches_1999-2008_combined.md","adapter":"markdown","source_offset":483519,"item_index":null,"heading":"June 11, 2003","source_url":null,"source_url_raw":null,"published":null,"source_kind":"markdown","excerpt":false,"year_inferred":false},{"occurrence_id":"785d56b282a6b454779c29de0d9a44f0a18a3c8a8be9efcc507d5d8bc12a8401","filename":"patches_1999-2010_combined.txt","adapter":"text","source_offset":498334,"item_index":null,"heading":"June 11, 2003","source_url":null,"source_url_raw":null,"published":null,"source_kind":"text","excerpt":false,"year_inferred":false},{"occurrence_id":"7c5ec79071830ab00e0f6415dfc019fda13d8a998d500de4f92cd6dce66665f9","filename":"patches-2003-1.txt","adapter":"text","source_offset":89253,"item_index":null,"heading":"June 11, 2003","source_url":null,"source_url_raw":null,"published":null,"source_kind":"text","excerpt":false,"year_inferred":false}],"year_inferred":false,"sequence":1,"slug":"2003-06-11-1","id":"2003-06-11-1"},{"patch_date":"2003-05-14","effective_date":"2003-05-14","display_date":"May 14, 2003 3:00 am","title":"May 14, 2003 3:00 am","year":2003,"month":5,"kind":"live","era":"EverQuest Live","expansion":"The Legacy of Ykesha","expansion_code":"the-legacy-of-ykesha","categories":[{"slug":"bug-fixes","label":"Bug Fixes"},{"slug":"classes","label":"Classes"},{"slug":"spells-aa","label":"Spells & AA"},{"slug":"items","label":"Items"},{"slug":"zones-npcs","label":"Zones & NPCs"},{"slug":"quests-events","label":"Quests & Events"},{"slug":"ui","label":"UI"},{"slug":"servers","label":"Servers"},{"slug":"audio-graphics","label":"Audio & Graphics"},{"slug":"expansions","label":"Expansions"}],"sections":["Hate Plane","Veksar","Changes for New Players","Spells","Items","NPCs","Zones","Quests","Alternate Advancement","Miscellaneous","Interface","Interface File Changes"],"change_count":57,"word_count":2625,"summary":"Hate Plane ** The new Plane of Hate is now available on all servers!

However, if you wish, you can choose to turn off \nany specific tip, or turn off all of the tips using the check boxes in \nthe Context Tips window.  \n\n- Improved Help Information - The in game help files have been \nimproved.  They now contain much more information.  Hopefully most \nquestions you have about the game can be answered using help.\n\n- All New Characters now start with a weapon skill - In order to help \nthe new player that might forget to train with their weapon before \nheading out to defeat their first enemy (and even for those of us that \nhave been playing a while and still forget to do this), all new \ncharacters now start off with a skill of 5 in their primary weapon.\n\n- Taunt no longer requires training - Similarly, Taunt now works \nwithout being trained.  Characters still start out with a skill of 0, \nbut the skill can increase with use.\n\n- Packet Loss Meter is now Off by default - Due to the fact that the \npacket loss meter is often confusing to new players, it will be off by \ndefault.  You can toggle the packet loss meter using the F11 key.\n\n- New Message to prompt new players about the Help button - Weve added \na chat message that appears when a level 1 through 10 character logs in \nthat tells them to click the \"?\" button on the Window Selection toolbar \nif they need help.\n\n** Spells **\n\n- Divine Intervention Fix - Players have been reporting that Divine \nIntervention was not updating the hit points for the character every \ntime when cast, causing characters to die even though the spell seemed \nto have saved them.  We have been unable to reproduce the issue \nspecifically, but we have made some changes that should fix the \nproblem.  Please use /bug with details of the incident if you continue \nto see this problem.\n\n- Bard Epic Animations - Bards will no longer play instrument \nanimations when they have their epic equipped. No more stabbing \nyourselves in the head with your sword instead of playing a flute.\n\n- Healing Messages now include the name of the healer - In order to \nmake it clearer who has healed you, we have changed the message that \nyou receive when healed.  It will now include the name of the character \ncasting the healing spell:  \"Bob has healed you for 300 points of \ndamage.\n\n- Call of the Hero works in PoW - We have removed the restrictions to \nCall of the Hero in the Plane of Water.  In this particular zone we \ndont believe that the use of this spell needs to be restricted.\n\n- Fear Spell bug fix - Players have reported that when a player \ncharacter was affected by a Fear spell cast by an NPC, they would see \nthe character running away but the person affected would not actually \nflee.\n\n- Snare Line bug fix - Fixed an issue that was causing the Snare line \nof spells to fail on an NPC that is under the effects of a Fear spell.\n\n- Tricksters Augmentation group only - We changed Trickster's \nAugmentation to be group only to prevent folks from using it to grief \nother players.\n\n- LD Enchanters no longer cast Mem Blur - Enchanters that go linkdead \nwere sometimes casting Memory Blur and similar spells on their enemies.  \nThis could cause rather unpleasant results for his group or raid when \nthe NPC suddenly had a fresh hate list.  Linkdead enchanters will no \nlonger cast Memory Blur spells.\n \n- Blizzard animation fix - Blizzard was causing a casting animation to \ngo off with every wave, even if the caster was sitting.  Now Blizzard \nworks like most rain spells, and only triggers a casting animation when \nfirst cast.\n\n- Locked Spell Gem fix - We fixed a bug that was causing the use of a \nright-click item to refresh the spell gem in the first slot instantly, \nbut if that spell had a long recast it would render it useless until \nthe spell was forgotten and memorized again.\n\n- Mark of Kings upgrade - In order to make this spell more appealing \nthen its lower level counterpart, Mark of Karn, we have: increased the \nduration from 3.5 to 4 minutes, reduced the casting time from 3 to 2 \nseconds, reduced the mana cost from 170 to 75 and made the spell \nslightly less resistible.\n\n- Gravel Rain can now be cured - With its very long duration (30 \nminutes) it was a bit difficult that this spell could not be removed \nbefore the duration was over.  This is now a curse and can be cured.\n\n- Summoning a horse in bear form no longer causes you to lose the \nability to cast spells for a while.\n\n- Rathes Son - The innate ability of the focused version of this pet is \nnow less resistible.\n\n- Child of Bertoxxulous - This 65th level Necromancer pet has been \ngiven a boost.  Its offense has been increased to be in-line with that \nof the Legacy of Zek, and it now has the ability to use a power that is \nessentially the same as the spell Banshee Aura.\n\n- Spirit Call - These pets were running away from enemies when at low \nhealth. Pets should be far more loyal and willing to risk themselves \nfor their Shaman friends, so weve fixed it so that Shaman pets will no \nlonger run away.\n\n- Vampiric Embrace - Weve corrected a bug with this spell that would \nprevent the character from casting for a couple of seconds after the \nproc went off.\n\n- Stun Spells - The message on many stun-type spells have been changed \nto more accurately portray their effect on stun immune creatures.\n\n- Mana from Buffs - we have increased the maximum amount of mana that \ncan be gained through the use of buff spells.\n\n** Items **\n\n- Zoning and losing your buffs - There has been a long-standing problem \nthat could cause all of the buffs to be stripped from a character if \nthey zoned with fewer hit points than they had bonus hit points granted \nby items.  For example, if your character had only 10 hit points left \nwhen zoning, and had an item that granted +15 hit points, all of your \ncharacters buffs may have been stripped when you completed zoning.  We \nhave fixed this bug.  You should now retain your buffs in this \nsituation.\n\n- GM Baking Spoon - On Firiona Vie, the Grandmasters Baking Spoon was \nnot no-drop.  This allowed players to give out an unlimited number of \n100% weight reduction bags.  This obviously was not the intention for \nthat item, so we have made the Grandmasters Baking Spoon no drop on \nFiriona Vie.\n\n- Wooden Medicine Totem - This item can now be equipped.  It couldnt \nbefore.\n\n- Adjutant Saber - We removed the secondary notation on the item, since \nit was only usable by Shadowknights and Paladins, who couldnt use it in \ntheir secondary slot anyhow.\n\n- Cloak of the Dar Khura Hero - The effect on this item was listed in \nthe database as the wrong effect type.  The effect is now permanent.\n\n** NPCs **\n\n- NPCs returning bags empty - NPCs that return items that they do not \nneed were returning all containers empty, regardless of what was inside \nthe container. NPCs that refuse unusable items will now also return \nbags with their contents intact.\n\n- NPCs returning multiple items - If a character gave an NPC multiples \nof the same item, the NPC would only give back one of them if he did \nnot want them.  We have fixed this so that now those items will be \nreturned.  Such items will be stacked on your cursor.  Just click the \nitem that is on your cursor into your inventory and the next one will \nappear on your cursor.  Keep clicking them into your inventory until \nyou have them all back.  BE WARNED that any of these items that you \nhave not returned to your inventory will be lost if you zone or go \nlinkdead before you get them back into your inventory.\n\n- The Spirit of Rage - This undead gorilla is now flagged as undead.\n\n- Solusek Ros Guards - These guards will be much more attentive to \ntheir lord and will aid in his defense.\n\n- NPCs healing too much - We have corrected a bug that was causing some \nNPCs to regain hit points when they turned to run away.  The affected \nNPCs will be of all sorts and in many zones.\n\n- Giant Yellow Jackets - The chance to find a thorax on the corpses of \nthese creatures seemed too low, so we have increased it.\n\n** Zones **\n\n- Veeshans Peak - We have changed this zone to make it more appealing, \nparticularly for those playing with one or two groups.  We have removed \nthe restriction against using gate in this zone and modified the zone \npopulation.  Over all, the zone will be better to play in.\n\n- Acrylia Caverns - We have fixed an issue with the first two seals \nthat was causing the door to the 3rd seal to open without the 3rd seal \nspawning, and without the events being completed correctly.  Now the \ndoor will only open under proper win conditions, and whenever the door \nopens the 3rd seal should be available.\n\n- Plane of Nightmare - We have changed the logic for entry to the \nThelin Poxbourne event in Plane of Nightmare. When you talk to Thelin, \nhe will now remember your raid and only allow those of the same raid \ninto your maze. Only three groups maximum will be allowed through the \nportal into any one maze. If your group is not in a raid, he will allow \nthree non-raided groups through into the same maze. If there are three \nnon-raided groups in the maze and you try and get a fourth through, he \nwill act as any other raid would and tell you that he has already let \nenough people in the maze.\n\n- Planes of Water and Fire - We have changed some of the spells used by \nthe mini-bosses in these two zones.  They should be a little easier to \nresist now.\n\n- Halls of Honor - We have removed a recently added summoning ability \nfrom NPCs. We have introduced a less intrusive method of preventing the \nability to use area of effect abilities on huge groups of NPCs in the \nzone.\n\n- Bastion of Thunder - The tower bosses will now be dropping some loot \nevery time (rather than sometimes not dropping any) like the other \nPlanes of Power bosses.\n\n** Quests **\n\n- Added Honey Mush Bread to Cabilis Vendors - This is an item needed \nfor a quest that was unavailable.\n\n- Officers Cloak - If you have combined your Officer's Cloak in the \nSecurity Satchel or you wish to upgrade to the new Officer's Cloak of \nService, speak with Scout Derrin in Grimling Forest.\n\n-The Skull of Torment quest - This quest, in Kurn's Tower, should now \nwork.\n\n** Alternate Advancement **\n\n- Elemental Form - In order to make the Magician Elemental Form \nabilities a bit more useable, weve reduced the reuse time from 72 \nminutes to 15 minutes.\n\n- Alternate Advancement timers - We fixed a bug that allowed AA timers \nto be reset early.\n\n- Mass Group Buff - We have made this ability available to Beastlords.\n\n** Miscellaneous **\n\n- Characters getting stuck in the world - We have fixed a bug that \nwould cause a character to stay in game for extended periods of time \nafter going linkdead.  This bug was causing people to receive a 1018 \nerror because their character was still in the world and could prevent \nthem from logging back in for a long period of time.\n\n- Big Dwarves - Fixed a bug that was causing Dwarves that had their \nsize increased twice to start to see the insides of their faces while \nattacking.  This was making even the stoutest Dwarves a bit \nuncomfortable and self-conscious.\n \n- Tread water animation fix - We corrected a bug that would \noccasionally cause the treading water animation to stop animating.\n\n** Interface **\n\n- Hit Point percentages display in windows - The Target window, Player \nwindow and Group window now display hit point percentages.  This is \nsomething that many player created interfaces use and, considering the \npopularity of this feature, we've decided to add it to the default \ninterface.  In the Target and Group windows, the hit point percentages \nwill disappear if the appropriate target/groupmate does not exist\n\n- /report - We updated the text message given when you use the /report \nfeature to better reflect what text is actually attached to the report.\n\n- More Tips of the Day added - Weve updated the Tips of the Day with \nmore tips and cleaned up a few spelling errors with the existing tips.\n\n- Combining Stacks of items - Attempting to combine stacked items in a \ncontainer will no longer work.  The items must be separated first.  \nThis change will prevent items from being lost due to accidentally \ncombining with them stacked.  A dialogue will pop up, warning the \nplayer to separate the objects.\n\n- Bankers no longer take items - In order to help prevent people from \nlosing items by giving them to their banker instead of putting them \ninto their bank, players can no longer attempt to trade with bankers.  \nA message will tell you to right-click the banker if you wish use your \nbank.\n\n- Guild Management - The Guild Management window will now take your \nsetting for \"show offline\" into account when first displaying the \nwindow.  The delimiter used in the file created when the \"Dump\" button \nis pressed has been changed to a [Tab] from a comma, as commas were \ncausing confusion when used in the public and private notes.\n\n** Interface File Changes **\n\nTargetwindow.xml\nPlayerwindow.xml\nGroupwindow.xml","content_hash":"b8ad9b438430cc0a1e7b132bfc498b681d6fa34aa7b7d690e0b0c69f958e2afa","source_files":["patches-2003-1.txt","patches_1999-2008_combined.md","patches_1999-2010_combined.txt"],"source_titles":["May 14, 2003 3:00 am"],"source_url":null,"source_urls":[],"occurrence_count":3,"source_occurrences":[{"occurrence_id":"afeaeeb48e2389284260b76316e4f3dc599f837769609d45a5f4dba3936bc786","filename":"patches_1999-2008_combined.md","adapter":"markdown","source_offset":464919,"item_index":null,"heading":"May 14, 2003 3:00 am","source_url":null,"source_url_raw":null,"published":null,"source_kind":"markdown","excerpt":false,"year_inferred":false},{"occurrence_id":"97dab07a994ab854b3cd82d98d1ec730e4be15443b102f4d1b871a326dfe97a2","filename":"patches_1999-2010_combined.txt","adapter":"text","source_offset":479346,"item_index":null,"heading":"May 14, 2003 3:00 am","source_url":null,"source_url_raw":null,"published":null,"source_kind":"text","excerpt":false,"year_inferred":false},{"occurrence_id":"062798d0905604689ed4ff789da32eaddb93bf07dcd88bd2278eb84ac9162e13","filename":"patches-2003-1.txt","adapter":"text","source_offset":70265,"item_index":null,"heading":"May 14, 2003 3:00 am","source_url":null,"source_url_raw":null,"published":null,"source_kind":"text","excerpt":false,"year_inferred":false}],"year_inferred":false,"sequence":1,"slug":"2003-05-14-1","id":"2003-05-14-1"},{"patch_date":"2003-04-23","effective_date":"2003-04-23","display_date":"April 23, 2003","title":"April 23, 2003","year":2003,"month":4,"kind":"live","era":"EverQuest Live","expansion":"The Legacy of Ykesha","expansion_code":"the-legacy-of-ykesha","categories":[{"slug":"bug-fixes","label":"Bug Fixes"},{"slug":"classes","label":"Classes"},{"slug":"spells-aa","label":"Spells & AA"},{"slug":"items","label":"Items"},{"slug":"zones-npcs","label":"Zones & NPCs"},{"slug":"quests-events","label":"Quests & Events"},{"slug":"ui","label":"UI"},{"slug":"pvp","label":"PvP"},{"slug":"audio-graphics","label":"Audio & Graphics"},{"slug":"expansions","label":"Expansions"}],"sections":["Tip of the Day","Gameplay","Spells","Zones","The Hollow Acrylia Obelisk","Items","NPCs","Quests","Alternate Advancement Abilities","Miscellaneous","UI File Changes"],"change_count":58,"word_count":1255,"summary":"Tip of the Day ** When you first log in you will be presented with a Tip of the Day window.

We've added this window to provide helpful insight to new \nplayers, and perhaps a few tips for experienced players as well. \n\n** Gameplay ** \n\n- Any character 10th level and under that attempts to attack a \n'red' /con NPC will receive a warning about the danger of such an \naction. \n- Low level characters now memorize and scribe spells much faster. \n- Guards in Steamfont, Misty Thicket, Butcherblock, Nektulos, East \nFreeport and West Freeport should be less likely to run through the \nnewbie zone destroying the wildlife \n- Improved the respawn rate for monsters in Steamfont, Misty Thicket, \nButcherblock, Nektulos, East Freeport and West Freeport. In these zones \nthey were respawning less frequently than in all other newbie zones. \n- Added food and bag merchants to the newbie yards of Steamfont, East \nFreeport, West Freeport, Butcherblock and Nektulos. \n\n** Spells ** \n\n- Fixed a bug that was causing damage shields to assign the credit for \ntheir damage to the wrong person. \n- Fixed a bug that caused a short delay in the hit point updates from \nhealing spells. \n- Removed Beastlords from the list of classes that can use Strength of \nStone. They were never intended to get it, as they have a better spell \nof the same type at the same level (Furious strength). \n- Pets will no longer disappear when the pet owner casts a cancel magic \ntype spell on the PC that the pet is attacking. \n- Fixed a bug that would allow PC's to be attacked by PC controlled \npets (in non-PvP situations). \n- Talisman of Alacrity now works on the group and not just the caster. \nIt also has the proper icons now. \n- Modified the text messages on many stun spells to prevent some \nconfusion with their effect on stun immune mobs. The message has been \nchanged from \"You have been stunned\" to \"You are struck by a sudden \nforce.\" \n- Torment of Argli no longer overwrites Torment of Scio. \n- The Lich series no longer conflicts with other DoT effects. This \naffects Dark Pact, Allure of Death, Call of Bones, Lich, Demi Lich, \nArch Lich, Deathly Temptation, Pact of Hate, Ancient: Master of Death \nand Seduction of Saryrn. \n- The Flame Lick line of spells no longer overwrites hit point buffs \nsuch as Valor and Skin like diamond. This affects Flame Lick, \nImmolation, Breath of Ro and Immolation of Ro. \n- Changed the name of the druid spell Fury of Ro to Immolation of Ro to \navoid confusion with the focus effect Fury of Ro. \n- Changed the icon for Kragg's Mending to a heart icon to match other \nHeal spells. \n- Froglok illusion now changes the character's perspective to the \nproper height. \n- Night's Dark Terror has regained its Scarecrow illusion. \n- Added sounds to several spells that were lacking them. \n- The cost of the Fuligan Soulstone of Innoruuk has been cut in half. \n\n** Zones ** \n\n- Acrylia Caverns, Hollowshade Moor and Grimling Forest have been \nrevamped. We have updated the content in these zones to more accurately \nrepresent their design intentions and to address concerns voiced by \nplayers. \n- If you have had an issue with your Plane of Earth B keys, please \nspeak with Muzzrap again and he should be able to straighten things \nout. Please make sure that you have the raid group that you want to get \nkeyed set up and by your side when you do this. \n- The Trial of Fire event will be much less likely to damage people not \nactually in the trial. \n- We've made a pretty extensive pathing update to the Lake of Ill Omen \nand Beholder, along with several fixes to specific cases in several \nzones. \n- Fixed a bug with the Xegony encounter in Plane of Air. \n- The spires in the Dreadlands are once again sending folks to Luclin. \n- Protectors of Growth now actually protect the Plane of Growth again. \nBeware. \n\n** The Hollow Acrylia Obelisk ** \n\nDo not destroy the Hollow Acrylia Obelisk! Due to the revamp of the \nAcrylia Caverns, this key will no longer serve its original purpose. We \ndo understand the difficulty of obtaining this key, and we don't want \nto see that effort lost. We will be looking into a way to allow this \nkey to retain its value, so don't destroy it. \n\n** Items ** \n\n- Items with recommended levels now display any reduced AC component \nvalue in red. \n- Changed the usable race to Froglok on several of the Shin initiates \narmor quest intermediate pieces. \n- Giant Field Rat whiskers are about twice as common as they were. \n- The Ivory Hilted Cleaver can now be used in the secondary slot (for \nthose that can dual-wield). \n- The Ornate Broadsword is no longer listed as usable in the secondary \nslot, since it is Paladin only and can't actually be used there. \n- These items can no longer be worn by Frogloks (they were never \nintended for use by Frogloks): Fright Forged Helm, Mundane Helm, \nMundane Shield, Mundane Mask, Dread Forged Shield and Terror Forged \nMask \n- Murph's Minin' Pick no longer lists Clerics as a class that can use \nit, since they could not. \n- Bone Bladed Scimitar no longer lists Beastlords as a class that can \nuse it. \n- Cracked Bone Shinguards now have a visible graphic when worn. \n- Sharkbone Plated Shoulderpads effect is now \"worn\" rather than \n\"combat\". \n- Stone Etched Mace now displays +135 mana instead of 1135 mana \n- Extended Affliction III now works on spells with a 30 second duration \n(lowered from 36 seconds), so it now functions with Sermon of \nPenitence. \n- Fireworks have casting sounds and Gnomish fireworks will no longer \ncause zones to crash. \n- Compasses once again display the direction you are facing when you \nright-click and hold. \n- The Hammer of Exoneration can now be used by Erudites and Dark Elves. \n\n** NPCs ** \n\n- Half-Elf bandits are no longer treated as merchants (so they will now \nleave corpses). \n- A Feral Amalgam is now a plant. \n- Now only one Natasha Whitewaters can exist at a time. \n- Bloodmaw is a little more attentive to his surroundings. \n- Pets no longer attack Tylis Newleaf when he teleports your group. \n- Corrected a bug with AE rampage that caused it to not attack everyone \nit should. \n\n** Quests ** \n\n- Fixed the drops for the Comatose spell quest. \n- The Planar Projections for Bertoxxulous and Terris should no longer \nbe able spawn in a location where they can't be reached. \n- Fixed several issues with the 8th cudgel quest. \n- Increased the drop rate on some quest items in Hate's Fury. \n\n** Alternate Advancement Abilities ** \n\n- Made the Servant of Ro AA pet much more potent. \n\n** Miscellaneous ** \n\n- Hit points gained from items are now display with the right value, \nand should help to prevent a few deaths from Cannibalization \n- Bind Wounds no longer uses up a bandage for attempting to use the \nskill when it is not available. \n- Fixed a bug that was not allowing players to link to containers \nunless they linked to something else first. \n- /book with no arguments again closes the spellbook as it should. \n\nNote: We have also made several spelling and grammar corrections and \nfixed a door here and there. \n\n** UI File Changes ** \n\nEQUI.xml \nEQUI_TipWnd.xml \nEQUI_HelpWnd.xml

Please go to \nhttp://soe.sony.com/corp/employment.jsp and submit your resume online. \nPlease include information about your current characters and your level \nof knowledge concerning EverQuest.\n\nThanks,\n\n- The EverQuest Team\n\n** New Plane of Hate **\n\nThe new Plane of Hate is now available on Stormhammer. Enjoy!\n\n** Mitigation Change **\n\nWe have evaluated the mitigation abilities of cloth and leather \nclasses, and have made changes as appropriate. For the most part, this \nchange is a reasonable improvement to the ability of monks to absorb \ndamage. At some point in the future we may re-examine the mitigation \nabilities of chain and plate classes. At this time, and with this final \nround of changes to cloth and leather classes, we believe that \nsomething very close to the appropriate balance is in place.\n\n** Pathing Update **\n\nThe first part of our work to update the pathing system for EverQuest \nis complete. NPC and pet pathing should be much improved.\n\n** Charm Changes **\n\n- Healing a charmed pet now generates an appropriate amount of hate for \nthe healer.\n- Charmed pets now take up to one third of the experience for each NPC \nkilled. This amount scales down based on the percentage of damage to \nthe target that the pet does. Dire charm pets still take the same \nexperience they always have.\n- Charmed pets are no longer selected as a monster's preferred target \nif there are many players available for the monster to attack instead.\n- ALSO (we forgot to mention this before), the resist modifiers on \nseveral charm spells (such as Beckon, Call of the Arch Mage, Command of \nDruzil and Word of Terris) have been removed, making them a bit easier \nto resist.\n\n** Windowed Mode for the EverQuest front end **\n\nThis patch introduces the ability for players to enter windowed mode at \nthe EverQuest front end (from the time you log in until you get into \nthe game). With this addition, players will be able to run EverQuest in \na window from the moment they click on the EverQuest icon to the moment \nthey log out.\n\nIn order to switch to windowed mode on the front end, just hit Alt-\nEnter. Note that there are no settings in the eqclint.ini file for \nthis, you just have to hit Alt-Enter.\n\nUse Alt-R to release the mouse from the EverQuest window (note that \nonce in the game, you need to use Alt-Shift-R to release the mouse).\n\nAnd, obviously, Alt-Tab will switch between open programs.\n\nWe have also added a Tech button that will take you to our Tech Chat. \nThis only works in windowed mode, as it opens up a new window to \ndisplay the chat.\n\n** Spells **\n\n- Stoicism now follows the same restrictions as Torpor.\n- Trickster's Augmentation and Boon of the Garou can now be cast by \ncharacters on horseback.\n- Fixed a bug that was causing spells with levitation effects to lose \nlevitation if cast over a spell that also had a levitation effect.\n- Bards now receive their first level song at creation.\n- Changed the spelling of \"Corpal Empathy\" to \"Corporeal Empathy\".\n- Changed the hit by message for Torrent of Fatigue recourse to \"Your \nvitality grows.\"\n- Changed the wear off message for Song of Sustenance to \"Your hunger \nreturns.\"\n- Adjusted the shaman spell Disinfecting Aura to be in line with Pure \nBlood.\n- The Necromancer line of heal-over-time spells should no longer \noverwrite Transon's Phantasmal Protection.\n- Augment now overwrites Augmentation.\n- Brell's Stalwart Shield now has a casting time of 4 seconds.\n- Spiritual Vigor now has a casting time of 5 seconds.\n- Resurrection no longer gives the \"Your strength returns\" message two \ntimes when the negative effects wear off.\n- Fixed a bug that would cause other players to see a character with \ndefault face/hair for their race when they turned off an illusion.\n- Fixed bug that could cause beards to fail to reappear when an \nillusion wears off. This may also fix some other appearance bugs as \nwell.\n\n** Illusions/Shape Change **\n\nWe have changed the way that Illusions and Shape Changes work with \nrespect to faction. The new system is a lot easier to understand than \nthe old one, so we'll just explain the new one. When changed into the \nform of a playable race, characters are treated as if they were a \nmember of that race. When changed into a non-playable race, characters \nretain their own racial factions.\n\n** PvP **\n\n- If a player is moving when using archery against a PvP target, they \nhave a reduced chance to hit their target.\n- Archery in Player vs. Player combat in now reduced to 66% damage.\n- Direct Damage spells in Player vs. Player combat can only do up to \n75% damage of the target's maximum hit points in a single hit. This \nmodification is done before resists are taken into account. For \nexample, if a player has 1000 hit points when fully healed, no single \ndirect damage spell will do more than 750 damage to him in a single \nhit.\n\n** Alternate Advancement **\n\n- Alternate Advancement abilities that grant Stamina gains should now \nupdate the character's hit points automatically when trained.\n- Dire Charm isno longer \"used\" when trying to affect an NPC under the \npower of a Dictate spell. It will not work, and the power is not \nexpended.\n\n** Interface **\n\n- Using the \"/book\" command with no page argument now closes the \nspellbook if it's already open.\n- Added a \"Dump\" button to Guild Management window. Pressing it creates \na text file in the EQ directory containing a comma-delimited text dump \nof the Guild Management window. The file name will be the guild name \nwith _ instead of spaces, so a guild named \"Legacy of Ykesha\" would be \na file called Legacy_of_Ykesha.txt.\n- Cross-server tells are now filtered under the \"tells\" filter like \nsame-server tells, and in the same colors.\n- Music Player volume no longer decreases when zoning.\n- The Journal window and Journal Categories window now close when \nhitting Escape.\n- The Map window no longer pops up after zoning if you used Escape to \nclose it in the previous zone.\n- Hot button names are once again restricted to eight characters. Being \nable to make them longer was a bug, and was causing issues with \ndisplaying more than eight characters.\n- The scrollbar for the Notes window should now update properly when \nthe window is resized.\n- Added multi-select capability to the Friends List, Music, Journal \nNPC, Journal Text and Journal Category windows. Shift-click selects \ngroups of items, Control-Click selects individual items.\n- Fixed a bug that was causing the Journal window to lose all \ninformation since the last save when logging was turned off.\n- Confirmation Dialog window now remembers its position.\n- The third person camera view #3 no longer resets when zoning or using \nthe armor tinting feature.\n- Fixed an uncommon crash caused by the Music Player window.\n- The LFG button in the Group window now toggles the LFG window.\n- Fixed a bug that prevented the attack button from working properly \nwhen a Centi Warspear was equipped.\n- The dialog box for confirmation of a change in video modes now \nremains open for 30 seconds instead of 15 seconds.\n- Added a \"Show Offline\" button to the Guild Management window. This \ndetermines whether or not you want to show offline people in the \nwindow, and the setting is remembered when you log out.\n- If you sort by anything other than Name in the Guild Management \nwindow, the window will sub-sort your list by name.\n- Changed the promote button in the Guild Management window to only be \nenabled when eligible guild member is targeted (not just selected in \nwindow).\n- Fixed a problem that caused a few people to have the spell particle \ndensity revert to default off when they logged off.\n-Fixed the Map window to remove a method of avoiding the map \nrestrictions in certain zones. \n- Added /getguildmotd. This command allows you to see your guild \nmessage of the day at any time.\n- /guildmotd now sets or clears the guild message of the day. If used \nwith no text, it clears the existing message of the day. Only leaders \nand officers can use this command\n- Fixed a bug that could cause a crash when pressing the U key while in \nexplore mode.\n- When under the effects of invisibility, a character that hides and \nthen moves and breaks their hide also breaks their invisibility. The \ninvisibility icon will now disappear under this circumstance so that \nthe player knows he is no longer invisible.\n- Closing the AA window no longer causes the resurrection notification \nbox to disappear.\n- Updated the category lists in the Bazaar window to be alphabetical.\n- Characters will no longer be prevented from being a trader if you \nquickly click on Begin/End Trader.\n- Fixed a bug with the LFG tool that may have been causing some people \nto crash when zoning.\n- New colors should no longer be moving from the armor dye column to \nthe item tint column when a character is saved.\n- Hand to hand weapons now \"greys out\" the melee attack button.\n- For those that type quickly, typing %t1 now has the same effect as \ntyping %t 1.\n- Fixed a bug that prevented you from purchasing a lore item if you \nhave just purchased that item and destroyed it.\n- Setting loot split color now changes the text color when others loot \nand autosplit, as well as when the player loots.\n- Language skills now update in the skills window immediately, and the \nmessage given upon skill up includes the name of the language improved.\n- Default chat channels should now be saved properly.\n\n** NPCs **\n\n- Corrected an issue with trainers that sometimes caused them to kick a \ncharacter out of the game.\n- Tin Soldiers no longer give stun immune messages to color flux when \nthey are already stunned.\n- Sollari Bekines now asks for two vials of Gnoll blood instead of one. \nShe has always wanted two for her quest.\n- Corrected some text errors for Avir Sterbla.\n- Fixed a spelling error in Paralin Notion's text. \"Other\" now reads \n\"Others\".\n- Corrected a spelling error in the Stonefist Clansman's death text. \nDeafening was spelled incorrectly.\n- Fixed a problem that may have been causing various Brutes to spawn \nunder the world in Warsliks Woods.\n- Corrected an issue that could cause multiple NPCs related to the ring \nwar event to appear in Eastern Wastes.\n- Also corrected an issue with the ring war that was causing some of \nthe NPCs to disappear too early.\n- Undead Sebilisian Lich is now undead. He just didn't realize it \nbefore. Feel free to send cards and flowers.\n- So is the Fading Specter in Tox.\n- As is the Failed Apprentice.\n- Lifestealer Mosquitoes no longer give a message that makes them \nappear to be drinking their own blood.\n- NPCs in Stonebrunt won't be wandering into the ocean and getting \nlost.\n- Merchants no longer sell containers to any character that have no \nmain inventory slots free.\n- Corrected a spelling error (changed \"to\" to \"too\") in Morgalanth \nTal`Raeloen's text.\n- Aid Garuuk now knows that Bregna has moved out of Grobb.\n- Oracle Balek and Grave Lord Vizurik now speak the appropriate text.\n- Coriante Verisue should no longer talk about Miragul all the time.\n- Cobi Frostbeard should no longer refer to himself as \"she\".\n- A ghoul in Neriak shouldn't be banging his head on a wall due to a \npathing error. If he does it now, it's out of frustration about the way \nhis Dark Elven masters let stinky Trolls into their city.\n- Corrected a spelling error in Elial Brook's text.\n- Frist Furtun now accepts all Upheaval scrolls for his quest.\n- The invisible, untargetable NPCs in the elemental planes that were \nattacking people have been evicted. Absor is now using them as avatars \nin PlanetSide, and his scores have gone way up.\n- Corrected a spelling error in the agro text of an Enthralled \nUnderbulk (changed \"lungs\" to \"lunges\").\n- Corrected a grammatical error in the text of Animist Poren (added the \nword \"you\" where it as needed).\n- Corrected a spelling error in the text of Elder Animist Dumul \n(replaced \"lose\" with \"loose\").\n- The new Tailor in Neriak now asks what you [want], not [what] you \nwant.\n- Raewyth Velanor now knows the difference between viscous and vicious.\n- Corrected the text for Wevek Redforge, changed \"were\" to \"we're\".\n- Corrected the punctuation of a Grimling Prisoner. Changed \n\"scuttle's\" to \"scuttles\".\n- Corrected the spelling of the word \"privilege\" for Tax Collector \nKhugra.\n- Corrected the spelling of Incantator Stevak. Changed \"and\" to \"any\".\n- Quartermaster Grik in Gukta now responds appropriately when \nconfronted about the list for the Tavern NPCs.\n- The Ranger trainer Warder Elwysaie now trains Disarm.\n- Fixed several errors in text on Guard Aerryn.\n\n** Items **\n\n- Added a Brass Instrument modifier to the Horn of Shadows.\n- Made Saltwater Seaweed stackable.\n- Due to a drop table error, all existing instances of the Market \nSignet have been changed to have no stats. If you received one \nlegitimately through the quest, you can give the old item to Aid Grimel \nfor a new one with all the correct stats. If you do not meet the \nrequirements, Aid Grimel will not reimburse you.\n- Changed the spelling from Mythril to Mithril on Mithril Knuckles and \nMithril Edged Skull Splitter.\n- Removed the ability to be used in the secondary slot from Club of the \nSecretive. This is a Cleric, Druid, Shaman only item.\n- Removed Bards from being able to equip a Combine Acrylia Halberd and \nCombine Acrylia Two Handed Sword. These weapons are two-handed slash.\n- The name of the Holy Order of Mithanial has been correctly spelled.\n- Darksight Dagger is no longer listed as being equipable in the \nsecondary hand. It is a caster only item.\n- Barbed Rubicite Coif has had its name change to Barbed Rubicite \nPauldrons, since it is a shoulder item, not a head item.\n- Kagazz's Box now combines four scorpion legs to create a Box of \nScorpion Legs.\n- Removed Bards and Rogues from the list of classes on Greatstaff of \nthe Four Winds, since they could not use the item.\n- Sample Chest is no longer No Rent.\n- Mushroom Bread now looks like bread in inventory rather than a bowl.\n- Corrected the spelling of venomous on a few items.\n\n** Miscellaneous **\n\n- Modified checklist flags to make them a little easier to understand \n(checklist flags are the flags that you obtain for doing PoP events out \nof order that allow you to complete the final flag quest by gathering \nall the checklist flags and talking to a Seer). Now when you receive a \nchecklist flag you get a different message than the one that you get \nwhen you receive a normal flag. Ask the seer to unlock memories and she \nwill tell you which checklist flags you have. \n- Corrected a problem that was causing PoP raid flag mobs to not give \nout flags to anyone if the associated boss was killed by someone not in \nthe raid group. Now if someone not in a raid gets the kill, only people \nnot in a raid can get flagged. This means that people may have to leave \na raid to get flagged, but it means that raids should no longer miss \nflags if someone outside the raid gets the kill.\n- Modified several of the Planes of Power alternate entry quests to \nmake completing them faster. Also, all of these quests will now give a \n\"key\" to everyone in the group of the person that completes it.\n- Corrected a spelling error in the text message given when you can no \nlonger add unflagged people to your raid (\"to\" is now \"too\").\n- Fixed a bug that would sometimes cause helmets to seem to disappear \noff a character that was dealing with a merchant or casting an \nillusion.\n- /Consent no longer gives both a success and fail message to player \nconsented.\n- Frogloks wearing robes no longer lose the color on the bottom portion \nof their robes when they zone.\n- Fixed some issues with alchemy not combining into dose potions.\n- Fixed a bug that could cause invalid and unchangeable numbers to \nappear in spell-casting specialization skills if the skill was trained \nup after level 50.\n- Merchants no longer claim that they will pay 1 copper for newbie \nitems that they can't actually buy.\n- The player's first person perspective now changes correctly if the \nheight of their Froglok is changed. \n- Removed an unneeded door in High Keep.\n\n** INTERFACE FILE CHANGES **\n\nGuildManagementWnd.xml\nBugReportWnd.xml\nSpellsnew.eff\nSpellsnew.edd","content_hash":"8f11ddf62bc93e36f29415c9635959436de0092718c93584556f67d907c60555","source_files":["patches-2003-1.txt","patches_1999-2008_combined.md","patches_1999-2010_combined.txt"],"source_titles":["April 8, 2003 3:00 am"],"source_url":null,"source_urls":[],"occurrence_count":3,"source_occurrences":[{"occurrence_id":"554964459a4eac8e3a0900b59e1b71e4b9009934908901fe190364d4657c3979","filename":"patches_1999-2008_combined.md","adapter":"markdown","source_offset":440004,"item_index":null,"heading":"April 8, 2003 3:00 am","source_url":null,"source_url_raw":null,"published":null,"source_kind":"markdown","excerpt":false,"year_inferred":false},{"occurrence_id":"e9cf7bfb991846c06ca80e6f74dec53d0e2f5f45c2d5b20e3e6b63e35bc68e51","filename":"patches_1999-2010_combined.txt","adapter":"text","source_offset":453946,"item_index":null,"heading":"April 8, 2003 3:00 am","source_url":null,"source_url_raw":null,"published":null,"source_kind":"text","excerpt":false,"year_inferred":false},{"occurrence_id":"14ba22df3cc34cefba3c12bc7842e2c2e9510cc54394f1c66a91edf5ad4713a3","filename":"patches-2003-1.txt","adapter":"text","source_offset":44865,"item_index":null,"heading":"April 8, 2003 3:00 am","source_url":null,"source_url_raw":null,"published":null,"source_kind":"text","excerpt":false,"year_inferred":false}],"year_inferred":false,"sequence":1,"slug":"2003-04-08-1","id":"2003-04-08-1"},{"patch_date":"2003-02-24","effective_date":"2003-02-24","display_date":"February 24, 2003","title":"February 24, 2003","year":2003,"month":2,"kind":"live","era":"EverQuest Live","expansion":"The Planes of Power","expansion_code":"the-planes-of-power","categories":[{"slug":"bug-fixes","label":"Bug Fixes"},{"slug":"classes","label":"Classes"},{"slug":"spells-aa","label":"Spells & AA"},{"slug":"items","label":"Items"},{"slug":"zones-npcs","label":"Zones & NPCs"},{"slug":"quests-events","label":"Quests & Events"},{"slug":"ui","label":"UI"},{"slug":"audio-graphics","label":"Audio & Graphics"},{"slug":"expansions","label":"Expansions"}],"sections":["follows"],"change_count":1,"word_count":1294,"summary":"As the afternoon heat grows, a trickle of adventurous folk can be seen moving through the rocky vales of the mountains called Stonebrunt.

Are you one of them? \n\nAnd in Gukta tadpoles are growing into young Frogloks. There is no \ndoubt in the minds of the conquerors of Grobb that the new generation \nof their people will grow into strong and steadfast servants of \nMithaniel Marr, worthy of his respect. Will you be one of them? \n\nOOC: Have fun with the new features, the new race and the new zones. \nThank you for playing EverQuest. \n\nGameplay\n\nWe've adjusted the entry requirements for some Planes of Power zones. \nSeveral of these zones required each character to complete a quest \nbefore gaining entry. We've relaxed this requirement somewhat as \nfollows: \n\nA raid with 32 or more members can enter a locked plane provided that \n85% of the raiders have finished the entry quest. This means a raid \ngroup can bring along some friends who haven't completed the quest. \n\nCharacters who haven't done the entry quest must stay with their raid \nwhile they are in the locked zone. If these characters leave the raid \nfor more than three minutes, they will be transported out to the Plane \nof Tranquility. \n\nUsing this method does not grant permanent access to the locked zone. \nIf a character wants permanent, unescorted access to a locked zone then \nthey must still complete the quest. The goal of this change is to allow \nraiding groups to bring along a few friends who haven't been able to \ncomplete the quests, but still wish to help with the raid. \n\nSeveral of the flagging events will now only give out a maximum of 72 \nflags each time they are completed. \n\nThe dialogue boxes for resurrection and translocation will remain for 5 \nminutes instead of 1 hour. \n\nIncreased the maximum number of members on ignore and friends lists to \n100. \n\nMade some adjustments to the Halls of Honor alternate entry quest that \nshould make it more friendly. \n\nThe horse buff icon will no longer show up for characters using non-\nLuclin models. \n\nInterface\n\nContainers now close after zoning. This prevents a bug that was causing \nthe same container to be opened twice. \n\nThe rogue hide message \"You have moved and are no longer hidden!\" is \nfiltered as a \"skill\" message and not an \"other\" message. \n\nFixed a bug that was causing the spell effects opacity slider to always \nreturn to 0% when logging out to the desktop. \n\nItems\n\nHappy Dragon should no longer use a charge when the target is out of \nrange. \n\nThe inventory icons for Trydan's Greaves of Nobility, Deathwatch Sword \nand Wetfang Steak have been corrected. \n\nCorrected the name of the Drakescale Covered Tunic (was Drakscale \nCovered Tunic). \n\nThe Manicle of Disruption has been renamed Manacle of Disruption. \n\nSee above for Vorshar's Manicle of the Blight. \n\nCorrected the spelling of Golden Idol of Rodcef Nife. \n\nThe Rantho Rapier is now a piercing weapon, not a two-hand slashing \nweapon. \n\nThe Wand of Mana Tapping is no longer labeled as usable in the \nsecondary hand (since it is Enchanter only and could not be used there \nanyhow). \n\nQuests\n\nMade a change to the way Planes of Power spell quests work. All spells \nusable by more than one class are now obtained from the same level \nquest. If a spell is level 61 (Ethereal) for one class and level 65 \n(Rune Word) for another, both will have it as a reward on their \nEthereal quest. \n\nCorrected issues with the quest from the Iksar Hermit. \n\nCorrected a grammatical error in some of Bolli Hillfoot's text. \n\nMarshal Anrey should be more responsive when talked to. \n\nThe \"Bag of Troll guts\" is now dropping off of the correct NPC. \n\nZones and NPCs \n\nRemoved the ability for PCs to bind in the upper tier Planes of Power \nzones. Binding is allowed in Plane of Knowledge and Plane of \nTranquility. \n\nThe entrance to the Plane of Fire now requires the appropriate keys for \nentry. \n\nGods in the elemental planes now have fixed respawn regardless of zone \noutages. If the god in an elemental plane is up when the zone comes \ndown it will still be up when the zone comes back up. If it has two \ndays left before its respawn when the zone comes down it will still \nrespawn in two days. \n\nPrior to this patch Rallos Zek was changed, he no longer allows anyone \nhe dislikes to stand above the arena. \n\nRemoved a \"safe spot\" from the Plane of Disease. \n\nNPCs in the Plane of Justice can no longer be affected by Fear spells. \n\nFixed an issue with some level 10 NPCs in the Karanas having about 400 \ntimes the hit points that they should. \n\nDenizens of Aerin`Dar's lair will no longer be getting angry at folks \njust because they are stomping around on the ground above the lair. \n\nPuslings now understand how to \"enrage\" properly. \n\nCreatures in Fungus Grove will be less likely to ignore people shooting \nthem from a distance. \n\nMature Arboreans are now plants. Just don't call them that to their \nfaces. \n\nGiant Whiskered Bats in the Qeynos area no longer drop rat skulls. \n\nDalin Greskar has given up his hobby of trying to sell blacksmithing \ngear that he doesn't have and has gone legit with pottery supplies. \n\nCorrected a typographical error in some of Tarnic McWillows speech. \n\nFiron Dernkal will no longer add a random \"t\" to the end of people's \nnames when talking to them. \n\nCorrected an error in Eirod Haerod's text. \n\nIt seems as though the troll sent to retrieve the Forge from fallen \nGrobb has returned with Forge in hand. \n\nCorrected an issue with the respawn of Fennin Ro. \n\nA Kromzek spy will no longer give a \"beta neutral\" faction hit when \nkilled. \n\nSpells\n\nFixed a bug that prevented the owners of charmed warders from \ncontrolling or re-summoning their warders after the charm breaks. \n\nDisinfecting Aura has been changed to no longer cure poisonous effects. \nIt will now cure disease effects with much more potency. \n\nFixed a bug that was causing Bind Sight to fail to land if the \nrecipient had exactly 15 other buffs. \n\nConvergence should not eat its component as often on some types of \nspell failures. \n\nCorrected the spell book icons for several Enchanter spells. \n\nShadeweaver port should no longer place you beneath the world. \n\nIn a previous update, we added a message when a person recasts a charm \nspell on their charmed pet. Recasting charm on an existing pet did not \nactually re-charm the pet, it just failed silently and appeared to \nsucceed. The new message is now displayed intentionally in these cases. \nThis is not a bug. \n\nMiscellaneous\n\nAttack text for the Vah Shir when punching now says, \"punches\" instead \nof \"hits\" \n\nFixed a bug that was causing the reduced statistics to not update \nproperly when the character has low hit points or is encumbered. \n\nFixed a bug that caused some sale prices for items in the Bazaar \n(mostly those with a lot of 9s) to be invalid. \n\nThe /guildmotd command has been modified. Guild leaders and officers \ncan now use this command to set or clear the guild Message of the Day. \nThere is a new command, /getguildmotd, that can be used as an \nalternative to viewing the Guild MOTD in the Guild Management Window. \n\nNew and Changed UI Files\n\nAnimations \nBodytintwnd - NEW \nCart01.tga - NEW \nCart02.tga - NEW \nCart03.tga - NEW \nCart04.tga - NEW \ndragitem25.tga \ndragitem26.tga - NEW \nEQUI.xml \nEditlabelwnd - NEW \nGemicons01.tga \nGemicons02.tga \nGroupsearchwnd - NEW \nGroupwnd \nGuildmgmtwnd - NEW \nInspectwnd \nInventorywnd \nMaptoolbarwnd - NEW \nMapviewwnd - NEW \nSelectorwnd \nShortdurationbuff \nWindowpieces04.tga","content_hash":"e790ef1b68e44b18cbfa51c25f67314c7e8a6c69a32b5ce26988f10665c8c723","source_files":["patches-2003-1.txt","patches_1999-2008_combined.md","patches_1999-2010_combined.txt"],"source_titles":["February 24, 2003"],"source_url":null,"source_urls":[],"occurrence_count":3,"source_occurrences":[{"occurrence_id":"ca71a7618a36c09dbaff914f54d17daafaa5ed9daeb1fc13f5d181895be7457a","filename":"patches_1999-2008_combined.md","adapter":"markdown","source_offset":419007,"item_index":null,"heading":"February 24, 2003","source_url":null,"source_url_raw":null,"published":null,"source_kind":"markdown","excerpt":false,"year_inferred":false},{"occurrence_id":"c64cd5d333e5e4d11d7a6aa6be7c756cfedfed5d3d139c0d39257682be9a443c","filename":"patches_1999-2010_combined.txt","adapter":"text","source_offset":432657,"item_index":null,"heading":"February 24, 2003","source_url":null,"source_url_raw":null,"published":null,"source_kind":"text","excerpt":false,"year_inferred":false},{"occurrence_id":"aad746c7a77bd8d0ad8f8bcee677b5f2e2fce7c808adff36255965acf10a6963","filename":"patches-2003-1.txt","adapter":"text","source_offset":23576,"item_index":null,"heading":"February 24, 2003","source_url":null,"source_url_raw":null,"published":null,"source_kind":"text","excerpt":false,"year_inferred":false}],"year_inferred":false,"sequence":1,"slug":"2003-02-24-1","id":"2003-02-24-1"},{"patch_date":"2003-02-06","effective_date":"2003-02-06","display_date":"February 6, 2003 3:00 am","title":"February 6, 2003 3:00 am","year":2003,"month":2,"kind":"live","era":"EverQuest Live","expansion":"The Planes of Power","expansion_code":"the-planes-of-power","categories":[{"slug":"bug-fixes","label":"Bug Fixes"},{"slug":"spells-aa","label":"Spells & AA"},{"slug":"items","label":"Items"},{"slug":"zones-npcs","label":"Zones & NPCs"},{"slug":"quests-events","label":"Quests & Events"},{"slug":"tradeskills","label":"Tradeskills"},{"slug":"ui","label":"UI"},{"slug":"audio-graphics","label":"Audio & Graphics"},{"slug":"expansions","label":"Expansions"}],"sections":["Interface","Gameplay","Spells","Trade Skills","Zones","Items"],"change_count":18,"word_count":407,"summary":"Interface ** All settings for the Songs window should now be saved properly when the player logs out.

Skills changed were Baking, \nSewing, Jewel Craft, and Fletching.\n- Added gnome cultural recipe book to Ak'Anon.\n- Changed the weights on Spiritstones to be more in line with \nFaithstones.\n- Changed Collapsible Jeweler's Kit to 6 slots from 4.\n\n** Zones **\n\n- Grummus is much more likely to stay in his home.\n- Fixed the door to the Ak'Anon zoo, by request of the Zookeeper's \nUnion #23.\n- Newly created Wood Elf Druids will now make their first appearance in \nthe world much closer to their guild master.\n- Fennin Ro is now more durable, more in line with the other elemental \nplane gods.\n-Rallos Zek now moves considerably faster then before, as do his \ncohorts. He will also become very, VERY angry should he be removed from \nhis lair(s). \n- Skyshrine will once again require a key for exit into the Cobalt \nScar. The fact that the key was not needed was a bug. We do understand \nthat few people actually walk through this area considering the other \nmethods of transport available, but the dragons aren't leaving their \ndoors open.\n\n** Items **\n\n- Corrected the inventory icon for the Acrylia Studded Legs and the \nTwo-Handed Practice Sword.","content_hash":"1dfdf5035c6f214ede5c402e2868f21ab0077fe7b38d90dcbca4fcf5a4a30213","source_files":["patches-2003-1.txt","patches_1999-2008_combined.md","patches_1999-2010_combined.txt"],"source_titles":["February 6, 2003 3:00 am"],"source_url":null,"source_urls":[],"occurrence_count":3,"source_occurrences":[{"occurrence_id":"7e5f521078ef8b5b785e04f158dd88cbda177b445f369481527d77c956a5eaba","filename":"patches_1999-2008_combined.md","adapter":"markdown","source_offset":416629,"item_index":null,"heading":"February 6, 2003 3:00 am","source_url":null,"source_url_raw":null,"published":null,"source_kind":"markdown","excerpt":false,"year_inferred":false},{"occurrence_id":"871ce066c88b5f50187184fd4982241aad9cac3cef2e9d91eca5e6fd6a90ea76","filename":"patches_1999-2010_combined.txt","adapter":"text","source_offset":430182,"item_index":null,"heading":"February 6, 2003 3:00 am","source_url":null,"source_url_raw":null,"published":null,"source_kind":"text","excerpt":false,"year_inferred":false},{"occurrence_id":"e4aa25c099e4f240e83724d99011c45166a867a936b850638ae55a0a57f2ffc4","filename":"patches-2003-1.txt","adapter":"text","source_offset":21101,"item_index":null,"heading":"February 6, 2003 3:00 am","source_url":null,"source_url_raw":null,"published":null,"source_kind":"text","excerpt":false,"year_inferred":false}],"year_inferred":false,"sequence":1,"slug":"2003-02-06-1","id":"2003-02-06-1"},{"patch_date":"2003-01-28","effective_date":"2003-01-28","display_date":"January 28, 2003 3:00 am","title":"January 28, 2003 3:00 am","year":2003,"month":1,"kind":"live","era":"EverQuest Live","expansion":"The Planes of Power","expansion_code":"the-planes-of-power","categories":[{"slug":"bug-fixes","label":"Bug Fixes"},{"slug":"classes","label":"Classes"},{"slug":"spells-aa","label":"Spells & AA"},{"slug":"items","label":"Items"},{"slug":"zones-npcs","label":"Zones & NPCs"},{"slug":"quests-events","label":"Quests & Events"},{"slug":"ui","label":"UI"},{"slug":"audio-graphics","label":"Audio & Graphics"},{"slug":"expansions","label":"Expansions"}],"sections":["ANNOUNCEMENT","instructions","Gameplay and User Interface","Spells","Alternate Advancement","Items","Quests","Bazaar","NPCs","Character Appearance","Miscellaneous"],"change_count":65,"word_count":1341,"summary":"ANNOUNCEMENT ** The response to The Legacy of Ykesha(tm) extension has been overwhelming; we want to thank all of you who have pre-ordered.

They appear to be some sort of magical portal, \nthough local spell casters have yet to discover how they arrived or \nexactly what their purpose is. They have determined, however, that \nthese objects are slowly building in power. Attempting to use these \nportals at this time can have unexpected results. Experts recommend \nthat adventurers avoid these objects until they know more. For more \ninformation on these odd devices, visit www.planesofpower.com\n\n** Important Notice Regarding Alternate Advancement Reimbursement **\n\nDue to the changes made to Manaburn, Rods of Mystical Transvergence and \na previous change to Innate Regeneration, we are reimbursing several \nAlternate Advancement (AA) abilities. \n\nOnce you log in today, if you have any of these abilities, please check \nyour AA window immediately! If you have more than 30 unspent points, IT \nIS VERY IMPORTANT that you make certain that your character has 30 or \nfewer AA points before The Planes of Power launches on October 21st! \nThe return of these AA points may put your total number of unspent \npoints over the 30 point maximum. Your pool will be reduced to 30 the \nfirst time you log in after the launch of Planes of Power on October \n21st. \n\nWe will be refunding all Alternate Advancement points in the following \nabilities: \n\nInnate Regeneration\nManaburn\nMental Clarity\nQuick Summoning \n\nRefunded Alternate Advancement points may be spent in any way you \nchoose. None of these abilities is being removed, and of them only \nManaburn is changing.\n\nNOTE: Cannibalization, Gather Mana, and Mind and Body Rejuvenation will \nnot function if you do not have the necessary prerequisite, Mental \nClarity 3.\n\n** Alternate Advancement **\n\n- Mana Burn will only land any given target only once every minute.

The spell \nhas been renamed to \"Mass Mystical Transvergence\". When cast, this \nspell summons a Rod of Mystical Transvergence for everyone within 300 \nfeet. This rod is no drop and contains 3 charges of Mystical \nTransvergence. Each charge restores 360 mana at the cost of 450 health. \nA player may only use a charge from the rod once every 5 minutes.\n- Additionally, there is a new \"Rod of Mystical Transvergence\" spell \nfor sale in the Bazaar. This is a single target spell that summons a \nrod with 3 charges of Mystical Transvergence. This rod has the same \nabilities and restrictions listed above. This spell is a targeted \nsummon that costs 400 points of mana to cast.\n- Changed the way Focus stacks with other strength and dexterity buffs\n- Circle of Seasons will overwrite Resist Cold\n- Dance of the Blade should now stack with McVaxius's Rousing Rondo\n- Harness of Spirit and Rage should now stack properly\n- Fufil's Curtailing Chant should now stack with Occlusion of Sound\n- Protection of the Glades should now overwrite Blessed Armor of the \nRisen\n- Blessed Armor of the Risen should now stack with Lunar Whispers\n- Fixed a bug that was causing some applications of spells and ranged \nattacks from great distance to go unnoticed by NPCs\n- Contact Innates (such as Boon of the Garou) should now be working for \nbards\n- Fixed a bug that would sometimes cause helmets and sometimes hair to \ndisappear after an illusion was cast\n- Bard songs should now blink on recipients other than the bard\n\n** Encounters **\n\nDue to the number of Luclin encounters requiring original Rods of \nTransvergence to be defeated by a reasonably sized force, a number of \nthose encounters have been be re-tuned to shorten their duration.\n\n** Interface **\n\n- New Alarm feature added. When you first log in you will see a pop up \nasking if you wish to set an alarm and if so for how long. There is \nalso an option to choose to never see that pop up again. If you choose \nthis option you will need to set ShowAlarmWindow=TRUE in your \neqclient.ini file in order to see the pop up again. The alarm will \ntrigger after the time you set has elapsed, no matter what character \nyou are playing on whatever server, up until the moment you log out.\n- /played now displays how long you have been playing this session and, \nif an alarm has been set, how long until that alarm sounds.\n- /pet sit down should now work on charmed NPCs\n- Added 3 new context menu options for chat windows: Reply To, Tell a \nfriend, Tell a Raidmember (for future use). Each of which has a submenu \ncontaining the list of Reply targets, Friends, or Raidmembers, as \nappropriate. Clicking on the player's name will place \"/tell \" on the \nchat entry line, and move the focus there, closing the menu.\n- Changed /loadskin. It now brings up a window that will allow you to \nselect a skin from a list, determine whether to use the INI or not, \nthen load the skin.\n\n** Beastlords **\n\nIn order to allow us to better tune warders, we have made changes to \nthe way that these pets work. Previously a Beastlord would summon a pet \nusing an ability button and then use level-appropriate buff spells to \nincrease the pet's level. Because of the way this mechanic works, it \nwas very difficult to tune these pets. Hopefully this will have the \nside benefit of making things a little easier on Beastlords by reducing \nthe number of steps required to cast the pet.\n\nBeastlords will now summon their pets using spells rather than an \nability. The series of spells that was previously used to buff the pets \nwill now simply summon the appropriate pet.\n\nUnfortunately, these pets will no longer zone with the Beastlord, and \nwill need to be resummoned (instead of rebuffed) after zoning.\n\nWe have made some adjustments to these pets already. \n\n- Added the casting time reduction that is already in place for \nPaladins, Rangers and Shadowknights to Beastlords\n\n** Items **\n\n- Merchants now highly value the Staff of Forbidden Rites and will only \nsell them at an extremely high price.\n- Dance of the Blade should once again stack with Nature's Melody and \nSong of the Deep Seas\n\n** Trade Skills **\n\n- Made it slightly easier to get skill increases while doing Tailoring, \nTinkering, Smithing, Baking, Brewing and Alchemy. Made it slightly more \ndifficult to get skill increases with Pottery and Fletching\n\n\n** Miscellaneous **\n\n- Fixed an issue that was causing zones to crash in some circumstances\n- Fixed an issue that was causing merchants to behave erratically while \nhandling certain quantities of items\n- Player Character corpses with no items will decay in 3 real life \nhours, not 7 days\n- Fixed a bug that was causing Lay Hands to not heal enough damage\n- Zoning while on a horse on a boat will no longer cause you to appear \non the other side in the water\n- /face (face picker) will no longer work while under the effects of an \nillusion\n- Taunt should be more effective and more dependent on the level of the \nTaunt skill for PC's and NPC's below level 60.\n- Levitation can no longer be cast on Traders in the Bazaar\n\n** List of UI files updated or added with this patch **\n\nUPDATED\n\nEQUI.xml\nEQUI_Animations.xml\nEQUI_FriendsWnd.xml\nEQUI_PetInfoWindow.xml\nEQUI_OptionsWindow.xml\n\nNEW FILES\n\nEQUI_LoadskinWnd.xml\nEQUI_AlarmWnd\n\n\n** Fan Faire **\n\nGreetings Norrathians!

Please spend some of your stored AA points. You will not be able to \nearn further AA points until you have fewer than 30. On October 21, \n2002, all points over 30 in your AA pool will be deleted.\n\nIt seems appropriate that Advancement points earned prior to the \nrelease of Planes of Power be used for abilities from earlier \nexpansions. In addition, many of the Luclin abilities are pre-\nrequisites for Planes of Power abilities. When the servers come up on \nOctober 21st, all unused Alternate Advancement point pools over 30 will \nbe wiped.\n\n** New Spell Effects **\n\nWe are implementing a few new spell effects using our new particle \neffects engine with this patch as a way of easing into the new system. \nThe new effects are faster and give you more control over how they \nlook. We have changed the Display Options menu to accommodate these new \noptions.\n\nOn the Display tab of the options window you will now find four options \nregarding particle effects. The first three, listed under Spell \nParticles are Near Clip Plane, Density and Opacity. These are the \noptions for controlling the new particle effects. They will not change \nthe old particle effects. The old particles are controlled using the \nOther Particles option.\n\nNote on Near Clip Plane: This option chooses how close to you particles \ncease to be visible. So Near allows particles to be seen right up to \nthe character. Farthest will clip out particles near the character and \nonly show those at the 'farthest' distance.\n\nNote on Opacity: This feature works at all settings for cards that \nsupport TnL. For other cards setting Opacity to 0% will turn off the \neffects and any other setting will show them fully.\n\nWe'll leave it up to you to discover which spells have the new \nparticles...\n\n** Alternate Advancement **\n\n- Beastlords now have access to the Mend Companion ability.\n- Beastlords now have access to three unique class alternate \nadvancements.\n- Permanent Illusion used with Wolf Form should no longer result in a \nwolf tinted by the Enchanter's robe.\n- Updated Finishing Blow - \n\"This ability gives you a chance to finish off an NPC that is below 10 \npercent health and fleeing with a single blow. The first level works on \nNPC's below 50, the second on NPC's below 52, and the third on NPC's \nbelow 54. (Non-Warriors must first train one level of Combat Fury to \nuse this ability.) \"\n- Improved Combat Fury for non-warriors to give more value to the \npoints spent after level 1.\n\n** Spells **\n\n- New Druid and Shaman heal spells are available.\n- The \"Your XXX Spell Has Worn Off\" messages for DoT spells will now go \nto the right character.\n- Illusions that are of a character type that can't wear armor, such as \nwerewolf, will no longer cause the character to be naked when the \nillusion drops.\n- Fixed the Illusion wolf form swimming animation.\n- Shaman and Beastlord Shrink spell has had its location restriction \nremoved.\n- The outcasts of Echo Caverns have deciphered new magics that allow \nDark Knights to channel the essence of terror into their enemies minds. \nWhile their initial findings have proven very powerful, rumors exist of \neven greater magics that might channel the nightmares of Terris Thule \nherself into the minds of mortals. Where that power might be found is \nnot yet known.\n\n** Items **\n\n- Items that grant bonuses to bandage skill should be working now.\n- Guise of the Hunter no longer makes the user appear to be naked.\n- Validus Custodus Battle Axe no longer looks like a bard mandolin when \nequipped by a pet. \n\n** PvP Servers and Gameplay **\n\n- The recent resist changes have been adjusted for PvP. They will not \nbe exactly as they were prior to the resist change, but they should be \nreasonable now. Please let us know if you feel they need further \nadjustment.\n- Player characters will no longer lose experience in the Arena areas \non the Sullon Zek server.\n- A player character can no longer tell his pet to attack another \nplayer's horse when not on a PvP area or in a duel.\n- Kael, Skyshrine, and Thurgadin on Sullon Zek no longer have the \nnewbie protection code active.\n- Players should once again be able to use level-restricted clickable \nbuffs on the Sullon Zek server.\n\n** Pets **\n\n- Improved Beastlord pets to scale more reasonably with the level of \nthe Beastlord after level 40. This also puts them into line with the \nlast round of pet balancing, which did not improve beastlord pets at \nthe time.\n\n** Horses **\n\n- Locate corpse songs/spells should now work on horseback.\n- Detect traps should also now work on horseback.\n- Fixed a bug that was preventing manipulation of inventory items if a \ncharacter died with coins on the cursor.\n- Invisibility on horseback should now make your horse invisible to \nNPCs as it does the rider.\n- Zoning with Levitate/Levitation and horse no longer causes the \nlevitation to fail.\n- Fixed a bug that would cause the horse 'buff' to disappear when \nzoning in some zones. \n- Player characters on horseback can now be hit by various missiles, \nsuch as arrows, thrown weapons or the various bolt spells from PCs and \nNPCs.\n- Call of the Hero should no longer put people under the world when the \ncaster is on horseback.\n- Dragging a corpse while on a horse will no longer cause the corpse \nfall under the world.\n- You can now right click on spells to arrange your spell book when on \na horse.\n\n** Zone Specific **\n\n- We believe that we fixed the major source of lockups caused for \nplayers in certain zones such as the Great Divide and Shadowhaven.\n- Hierophant Oxyn in East Cabilis will be showing up again.\n\n*** The Following User Interface Files have been changed with this patch ***\n\nUpdated:\nequi.xml\nequi_aawindow.xml\nequi_optionswindow.xml\n\nNew:\nequi_gemsgamewnd.xml\n\n\n** User Interface **\n\n- The New User Interface will default to ON. Officially, it is now just \nThe User Interface and the other interface is now the Old User \nInterface. :)\n- The Fade to Transparency option should now affect all bags.\n- PC/NPC name on/off settings will now be saved when leaving the game. \n- CTRL key being pressed while looking up or down no longer creates a \ncycle of constant panning up or down of the camera.\n- Wrapping in the middle of the first word in an Item Tag no longer \ncauses all text from then on being included in the tag. \n- Fixed bug with Item Tags for items that contain comma's in their \nname. \n- Pet sit button will now change to stand button if the pet is already \nsitting.\n- Added Item Tags to list of buttons in the Chat Options page, you can \nnow change the color of the tags.\n- Item Tags now appear as part of the standard \"You have looted an X\" \nmessages.\n- Hair should no longer disappear in Character Creation of Female Ogre \nwith Luclin models on.\n- The Tracking window selection color is no longer the same as a yellow \ncon mob.\n\n** Miscellaneous **\n\n- Fixed a bug with /hidecorpse making corpses invisible, but still be \ntargetable.\n- /Gems is now available in both User Interfaces.\n\n\n** An Ancient Arises **\n\nDeep within the recesses of a cave yet unknown to the world at large, a \ndark, menacing figure parts with the slumber that has kept him silent \nfor ages. The eyes of a magnificently ominous beast pierce through the \ndarkness, his memories flowing freely once more. In the depths of this \nbeast's mind sparks the knowledge that his prophetic savior has been \nreleased from the ancient magiks of time, let loose upon an \nunsuspecting world where the kin shall once again reign supreme.\n\n\"My master's shackles have been trounced, and so it is written that in \nthis world that has been so deftly overrun by pitiful mortals, he shall \nbring power back to those of the scale.\" The deep rumbling voice of the \nbeast lingers throughout the cavernous hideaway, the barely \ndistinguishable figure of a mighty lizard moves through the stone and \ndirt and dust as if to leave the gloomy surroundings and find his place \nonce again upon Norrath proper.\n\n\"For far too long have I been a prisoner to the overwhelming might that \nkept me in a state of secluded sleep; for far too long have I been \nvictim to the ancestral elemental forces keeping my master at bay. Now \nI awaken and bring life back to the disciples; now shall the lifeblood \nof the Four once again spread the word of prophecy!\" The footsteps of \nthis great beast are slow but sure, moving through the depths of the \ngaping mountain retreat towards the surface. Along the walls, pebbles \nand stones that have remained dormant for years crumble and crack, \nfalling to the ground as the immense beast walks past.\n\nA maze of dead ends and broken paths twists and turns in the expanse \nbeyond the figure's resting place. The skeletons of those who had tried \n- and failed - to make their way to him in the years he spent in forced \nslumber remain, tumbled landmarks of heroes long lost. Slowly he moves, \nhis reptilian eyes darting back and forth looking for any meager meals \nthat may still be available. As he proceeds, he steps atop a mighty \nechelon, overlooking the bodies that could not defy the magical \nproperties of the cave; fools of mortal thought, incapable of fathoming \nthe power that lay beyond them. \"Time has been good to you, my faithful \nwarren... let us both pray that I no longer need you. The time for the \nrevival is at hand.\"","content_hash":"0a8d6a612a5e7f4d8e6f45524ef9339ae39c98ebb04f7761d9ee5e1d9fc91dc6","source_files":["patches-2002-2.txt","patches_1999-2008_combined.md","patches_1999-2010_combined.txt"],"source_titles":["September 26, 2002 3:00 am"],"source_url":null,"source_urls":[],"occurrence_count":3,"source_occurrences":[{"occurrence_id":"cf085de6b24fdd0637999f7825ca0e7faf914899d82839fe171f7f99cbeb856e","filename":"patches_1999-2008_combined.md","adapter":"markdown","source_offset":367311,"item_index":null,"heading":"September 26, 2002 3:00 am","source_url":null,"source_url_raw":null,"published":null,"source_kind":"markdown","excerpt":false,"year_inferred":false},{"occurrence_id":"fca077ade65cd6822e418954cf4e13a810810ad628698d57cc0ed2aa10376f7b","filename":"patches_1999-2010_combined.txt","adapter":"text","source_offset":379340,"item_index":null,"heading":"September 26, 2002 3:00 am","source_url":null,"source_url_raw":null,"published":null,"source_kind":"text","excerpt":false,"year_inferred":false},{"occurrence_id":"51edb6b73cee22e95f874567a4ef623414cdb5b69fe628777a31bc58497f2e61","filename":"patches-2002-2.txt","adapter":"text","source_offset":28612,"item_index":null,"heading":"September 26, 2002 3:00 am","source_url":null,"source_url_raw":null,"published":null,"source_kind":"text","excerpt":false,"year_inferred":false}],"year_inferred":false,"sequence":1,"slug":"2002-09-26-1","id":"2002-09-26-1"},{"patch_date":"2002-09-04","effective_date":"2002-09-04","display_date":"September 4, 2002 3:00 am","title":"September 4, 2002 3:00 am","year":2002,"month":9,"kind":"live","era":"EverQuest Live","expansion":"The Shadows of Luclin","expansion_code":"the-shadows-of-luclin","categories":[{"slug":"bug-fixes","label":"Bug Fixes"},{"slug":"classes","label":"Classes"},{"slug":"spells-aa","label":"Spells & AA"},{"slug":"items","label":"Items"},{"slug":"zones-npcs","label":"Zones & NPCs"},{"slug":"quests-events","label":"Quests & Events"},{"slug":"ui","label":"UI"},{"slug":"servers","label":"Servers"},{"slug":"audio-graphics","label":"Audio & Graphics"}],"sections":["Petitions","Keyrings","Experience Changes","Spells","Spell Stacking Changes","Resistance Changes","Important things to note about the new resistance system","Line of Sight Changes","Priest Changes","Sound and Music","Items","Pets","User Interface","Bazaar","Alternate Advancement","Quests","Miscellaneous"],"change_count":83,"word_count":2746,"summary":"Please note: there are a lot of changes going into the game with today's patch.

But also note that some intended \nchanges might appear as bugs (perhaps a spell no longer stacks with \nanother spell). Feel free to report these as bugs if you are unsure. \nBut please keep in mind the changes listed here as well.\n\n** Petitions **\n\n- /viewpetition displays the petition you have in the queue, if any.\n- /deletepetition deletes the petition you have in the queue, if any \n(unless that petition is currently being viewed by CS staff).\n\n** Keyrings **\n\nWe will be resetting all keyrings with this patch. This will mean that \nall existing keys in the keyrings will be removed. You will need to \nplace keys back onto the keyrings. Keys are added to the keyring by \nusing the key. The keyring is a part of the character, not a space in \ninventory. To find out what keys you have just type /key and the game \nwill give you a list. If you have recently deleted a key, please \ncontact your GM for a replacement.\n\n** Experience Changes **\n\n- We have smoothed out level progression from 50-60. This should \nmitigate the \"penalty effect\" that occurs in levels 51, 54 and 59. Note \nthat it will cost the same experience to level from 50 to 60 as it did \nbefore. Also, death experience loss will appear different in some \nlevels. This is an unfortunate side effect that must remain to prevent \nsome experience exploits.\n- We have rebalanced the rewards for killing NPCs for characters over \nlevel 50. NPCs that are considerably weaker than you will give you less \nexperience. NPCs give more experience the higher level they are, and \nfor the best results you should fight the most challenging monsters you \ncan reasonably manage. \n\n** Spells **\n\n- Fixed the \"You have been healed for X damage\" message. It once again \nreports the actual amount of damage healed.\n- Added a message telling the caster when NPC can't be charmed.\n- Fixed a bug with duration boosting Alternate Advancement abilities \nand foci that was only allowing the first 12 buff slots to be modified \nas opposed to all 15.\n- Fixed a bug that was allowing focused and Alternate Advancement \nability enhanced damage spells to do more damage than they should \n(meaning that both the Alternate Advancement and the Focus improve the \nbase damage. The focus damage was never supposed to compound with the \nadded AA damage.)\n- Enchanter spells that have a hit point component and a stun component \ncan now be partially resisted.\n-The Enchanter \"visage\" series has had their recast time reduced to \nmake them more useful.\n-Shadowknight and Necromancer Drain type spells can now be clicked off \nby the recipient of the beneficial portion of the spell. For example; \nShadowknights and their group members can now click off the effects of \nspells such as Torrent of Hate. While the target of spells such as \nShadowbond can click it off if they so choose. \n-Torrent of Hate should no longer overwrite Call of the Predator\n\n- Repaired some problems with Beastlord stat buffs - specifically that \nthe higher level ones weren't always better than the lower level ones.\n- Furious Strength made available to Beastlords at Level 54\n- Dexterity made available to Beastlords at Level 57\n- Stamina made available to Beastlords at Level 57\n- Divine aura is now available to Paladins at level 51, instead of \nlevel 55.\n- Harmshield made available to Shadowknights at level 51\n- Augment Death made available to Shadow Knights at Level 60\n- Death Peace made available to Necromancers at level 60\n- Flaming Sword of Xuzl has casting time reduced from 6 to 2.5 seconds, \nrecast increased from 2.5 to 60 seconds and mana cost lowered from 600 \nto 250.\n- Unswerving Hammer of Faith has casting time reduced from 6 to 2.5 \nseconds, recast increased from 2.5 to 60 seconds and mana cost lowered \nfrom 600 to 250.\n-Added a new line of spells for Shadowknights, Voice of Darkness. \nMerchants in Echo Caverns have been able to appropriate many of these \nnew spells, but Voice of Terris has so far eluded them.\n-Added two new Mesmerize type spells for Bards, one at level 40, and \none at level 58. Rumor has it that Serilia Whistlewind has recovered \nthe melody written by Sionachie, but has been unable to locate the \ntranscript for the Dreams of Ayonae.\n-Whispers in the taverns of Katta Castellum speak of recently \ndiscovered Ancient melodies. Brave adventurers search far and wide for \nthe song of the ancient combine empire, and the Lullaby of Shadows.\n\n- Higher level PCs will be more resistant to lower level NPCs' spells.\n- Increased the number of spells that can be in effect on a given NPC \nto 30.\n\n** Spell Stacking Changes **\n\nWe've made two changes to the way spells stack.\n\nDamage Over Time (DoT) spells are spells that linger on the target \ndoing damage. Until today two different characters could not have the \nsame DoT spell on the same target. As long as one copy of the spell was \nactive any new version of the spell would not take hold. After today \nthe same DoT spell cast by different casters can affect the same target \nat the same time. Also, if you cast a DoT spell on a target and you \nalready have that spell active on it, the spell will refresh. (Note: It \nwill not be possible to stack Lifeburn).\n\nThis does not allow for inferior spells to stack along with superior \nspells. (Example: Two Necromancers can both land Boil Blood on the same \ntarget. However, Heat Blood, being an inferior spell, will still not \nstack.)\n\nSeveral DoT spells that have debuff components such as Tuyen's Chant of \nFrost and Breath of Ro will not stack due to the balance issues of \nhaving several hundred points of Resistance debuffs on a single NPC.\n\nWe've also rewritten the way that spells stack with other spells with \nthe same benefits (for example, to spells that give bonus hit points). \nGenerally speaking spells may now 'bounce' off each other (neither \noverwriting the other) and stacking issues should now be easier to \nresolve. In specific:\n\n- Warder's Protection should have considerably fewer stacking and \noverwrite issues. Thanks to the folks at the Ranger's Glade for all of \ntheir help in 'tracking' this down. \n- Druid Damage Shields should now all stack in the correct order. \n- Druid HP buffs are no longer overwriting stronger cleric HP buffs. \n- Harness of Spirit and Visions of Grandeur should interact a bit more \nsanely. \n- Existing effects should no longer be stripped off when the incoming \nspell isn't going to take hold. \n- Boon of Garou and other illusions now interact the right way.\n- Spells that have both group and single target versions (and no \nspecial coding to tell them otherwise) now mutually overwrite each \nother.\n\n** Resistance Changes **\n\nWe've made some fairly drastic changes to the way the spell resistance \nsystem works. Previously, there was only the smallest benefit to having \nresists over a certain value. We've reworked resistance in its \nentirety, completely replacing the old system with one that is more \nlogical.\n\nThe idea behind the changes is pretty simple: Resists should matter in \na way that makes sense.\n\nImportant things to note about the new resistance system:\n\n- Resists matter more for PCs. There are now tangible differences \nbetween having 50, 150, and 250 in a given resistance, for example. \nResistance buffs, bard songs, and resist gear have actual value, all \nthe way up the line.\n\n- Conversely, resistances also matter more for NPCs. Some NPCs became \nmore vulnerable to things they have always been vulnerable to, other \nNPCs became more resistant to things that they were inclined to be \nsomewhat resistant to. \n\n- Resistance debuffs should also have more value, all the way up the \nline. For the first time, resistance debuffs now have the ability to \nbring NPCs that were lure-style only down into the range of being hit \nby normal spells.\n\n- The hard level limit involving players casting on NPCs has been \nremoved. This used to be referred to in EQ folklore as the \"Six Level \nLimit\" (It was actually 1.25 times the caster's level, but more people \nlikely thought about it the other way.) This means that in the vast \nmajority of cases, there is at least a small chance that a person will \nbe able to connect a spell with an NPC, even if they are out of that \nNPC's traditional level range.\n\n- Overall, against NPCs that have medium-to-high resistances of a given \ntype, expect to see more full hits, fewer partials, but more full \nresists in the new system. Taken over time, the damage done by PC \ncasters to semi-high resistance NPCs should be approximately the same, \nbut will definitely improve when the proper debuffs are applied (we \nwanted to make sure that this did not turn into a universal nerf of \ncasters).\n\nWe look forward to seeing how these changes play out in front of a \nlarger audience. \n\n** Line of Sight Changes **\n\n- For spells that require Line of Sight (LoS), the LoS check is now at \nthe beginning of the spellcast, not the end.\n- Spells that require but do not have of LoS will now fail immediately.\n- Harmful spells require LoS.\n- Most Beneficial spells still do not require LoS.\n- Bind Sight type spells do not require LoS.\n- Any beneficial spell containing a Cancel Magic component requires \nLoS.\n\n** Priest Changes **\n\n- Clerics gain the Bash skill beginning at level 25. They will have a \nmaximum skill of 125 at level 50, 165 at level 60.\n- Clerics gain Hammer of Judgement - a level 56 summoned hammer with a \npowerful and frequent proc effect\n- Clerics gain Yaulp V - a level 56 self-only melee and mana regen buff \nthat adds haste, dexterity, mana regeneration and stamina regeneration.\n- Clerics gain Ethereal Elixir - a level 60 group version of Celestial \nElixir, the heal-over-time spell.\n- Clerics gain Ethereal Light - a level 58 upgrade of Divine Light, the \nsingle target heal spell.\n- Clerics gain Ethereal Remedy - a level 59 upgrade of Remedy, the \nsingle target heal spell.\n\n** Sound and Music **\n\n- We've started work on the sound and music engine. If you used to have \nsound/music bugs, the first upgrade today might help a bit. This is the \nfirst step down a long road. If your particular sound/music issue isn't \nfixed, please be patient. There's no need to re-report existing \nsound/music bugs.\n\n** Items **\n\n- Items now display level-restricted statistics besides armor class and \ndamage as a red number with the unrestricted value in parentheses.\n- Duration focus items now give focus message when a group spell lands \non caster.\n- Blessed Coldain Prayer Shawl has been given a minor upgrade.\n- Small Cloth Sandals are no longer wearable by large races.\n- Fixed the Plane of Mischief boxes.\n\n\n** Pets **\n\n- Changed Specter pets so they're able to equip items and armor.\n- Pet-only buffs now automatically attempt to target your pet if you \ncast them with the wrong target or no target at all.\n- Fixed a bug that would prevent the creation of Familiars and Warders \nif the caster had created more than 99 in the same zone during the \ncurrent game session.\n- The limit on the amount of haste that can be applied to a pet has \nbeen changed (aka. The Pet Haste Cap). The amount of haste that can be \nplaced on a pet now scales with the level of its owner. The scaling \noccurs in a way that is consistent with how much haste a given caster \ncan place on his own pet (using a Level 56 Magician as an example: The \nidea is that both Burnout IV and Muzzle of Mardu should be useful).\n\n** User Interface **\n\n- Deleting Spells from Spellbook: Storebought spells can be deleted \nfrom your spellbook. To delete a spell just right-click it to highlight \nit and tap the DELETE key. Please note: This does not convert the spell \nback into a scroll. You will have to buy a new scroll if you wish to \nre-scribe the spell. No reimbursements will be made for deleted spells.\n- Item Links: When you inspect an item with Alt-Left-Click, the item \ninspect window stays up. To paste a \"link\" to the item you're looking \nat into your chat bar, click on the item's graphic. That will \"speak\" a \nlink that others can click on to see the stats of the item, as if they \nwere inspecting it themselves.\n- Updated the /note window. The old /note command still works as it \nalways has. But you can now use /note without additional text to \nproduce a text window for entering note text. The /note command window \nshould not break existing skins.\n- Fixed a bug with the tracking window that was showing the sorting set \nfor something other than normal for non-rangers (this was just a visual \nbug).\n- Fixed a bug that sometimes caused a crash when zoning with the corpse \nwindow open.\n- Added UI Label type #74 = Player Title\n- \"Reply to\" will properly prepend a ;tell in front of names that are \nfrom other servers.\n- Extended the \"reply to\" queue to 50 names.\n- Fixed some aesthetics with labels. Percentages will never show above \n100 now (even during a heal). Corpse HP will always show 0.\n- There will now be sound when banking coins.\n\n** Bazaar **\n\n- Added Focus Effect search parameter to the Bazaar.\n- Items that are no-drop on other servers but tradable on Firiona Vie \nshould now show up in Bazaar searches on that server.\n\n** Alternate Advancement **\n\n- Frenzied Burnout no longer makes the pet suicide after the buff's \nduration ends.\n- Fixed a bug that would cause the Dire Charm ability not to reset if \nan enchanter used it when he already had a pet.\n- Fixed a bug that was causing Dire Charm to not give the \"this mob \ncannot be Dire Charmed\" message or reset the timer in Cazic-Thule.\n- Added the Quest Completion sound to AA point dings.\n\n** Quests **\n\n- There is a fellow named Moltak in Sol Temple. Killing him gives a \nnegative faction adjustment with the True Spirit faction. BUT, if you \nhave a very, very bad faction with True Spirit, killing him will also \nreset your faction to a more tolerable level. So don't mess with this \nfellow unless folks on the True Spirit faction are willing to kill you \non sight.\n- Made some modifications to the faction effects of the Wizard Epic \nquest.\n- A powerful warder has been seen in the Skyfire Mountains. Those who \nseek retribution against Ragefire would be wise to speak to her, she \nmay be able to provide information about his whereabouts.\n\n** Miscellaneous **\n\n- Merchants now display up to 80 items in their inventory. There should \nalso be less delay when opening up merchant windows.\n- The Help window will now be displayed on startup. This will happen \nonly if it has never been seen before (since this change).\n- Sirens should have female voices.\n- Bloodgill Goblins should now sound like goblins.\n- Several spell caster guild masters are now teaching magic skills. In \nShadowhaven: Palomidiar Allakhaji, Loewnsaz_Waldalon and Lamukas \nKaesoanls. In Echo Caverns: Kelador, Celerik, Wirgus and Yurian.\n- Erudites of Prexus now start at the proper location. \n- Bards singing songs should no longer prevent group members from \n/split'ting coins. Only teleportation spells being cast in group will \nprevent /split'ting. This change was required to keep coin from \ndisappearing if a /split occurred while a person was in the process of \nleaving a zone.\n- Leather Padding can now be made from Rockhopper Hides.\n\n- The EverQuest Team","content_hash":"528aefcabc5506cfaebc723b66663fdd96d102e0e2152382b69d4047cf9bcf06","source_files":["patches-2002-2.txt","patches_1999-2008_combined.md","patches_1999-2010_combined.txt"],"source_titles":["September 4, 2002 3:00 am"],"source_url":null,"source_urls":[],"occurrence_count":3,"source_occurrences":[{"occurrence_id":"b605cf01d72fd38905604031ee2356fba1fd91049a40ffeb1167f8dcc77ce3fd","filename":"patches_1999-2008_combined.md","adapter":"markdown","source_offset":351653,"item_index":null,"heading":"September 4, 2002 3:00 am","source_url":null,"source_url_raw":null,"published":null,"source_kind":"markdown","excerpt":false,"year_inferred":false},{"occurrence_id":"1f07945cddeb27a1c534de41c24895a974a8cfa7d9953f26ee87e2cfa2266c1e","filename":"patches_1999-2010_combined.txt","adapter":"text","source_offset":363585,"item_index":null,"heading":"September 4, 2002 3:00 am","source_url":null,"source_url_raw":null,"published":null,"source_kind":"text","excerpt":false,"year_inferred":false},{"occurrence_id":"2fb35ed2198361e2b59653c080b7c22e84c9595873d12b6efb97d2000fd524fe","filename":"patches-2002-2.txt","adapter":"text","source_offset":12857,"item_index":null,"heading":"September 4, 2002 3:00 am","source_url":null,"source_url_raw":null,"published":null,"source_kind":"text","excerpt":false,"year_inferred":false}],"year_inferred":false,"sequence":1,"slug":"2002-09-04-1","id":"2002-09-04-1"},{"patch_date":"2002-07-24","effective_date":"2002-07-24","display_date":"July 24, 2002","title":"July 24, 2002","year":2002,"month":7,"kind":"live","era":"EverQuest Live","expansion":"The Shadows of Luclin","expansion_code":"the-shadows-of-luclin","categories":[{"slug":"bug-fixes","label":"Bug Fixes"},{"slug":"classes","label":"Classes"},{"slug":"spells-aa","label":"Spells & AA"},{"slug":"items","label":"Items"},{"slug":"zones-npcs","label":"Zones & NPCs"},{"slug":"quests-events","label":"Quests & Events"},{"slug":"tradeskills","label":"Tradeskills"},{"slug":"ui","label":"UI"},{"slug":"pvp","label":"PvP"},{"slug":"servers","label":"Servers"},{"slug":"audio-graphics","label":"Audio & Graphics"},{"slug":"expansions","label":"Expansions"}],"sections":["New Interface Available","To activate the new interface","Bazaar Now Available","ViewPort","New Vah Shir Models","Spells","Pets","PvP","Alternate Advancement","Zone Specific","Horses","Quests","Items","Dialogues","Miscellaneous","Grouping","News from Faydwer","Call to Arms"],"change_count":46,"word_count":2061,"summary":"New Interface Available *** The new EverQuest user interface is now available for use on Live servers.

Many of you will find that it runs faster than the old \ninterface. It is extremely customizable, and offers all sorts of \nfeatures including resizable windows, fading windows, a pet control \nwindow, and flexibility through the XML files. We decided to offer it \nfor optional use as a sort of Beta II for folks on the Live servers \nthat haven't had the chance to try it out on the Test server. \n\nTo activate the new interface: \n\n* Log into the game. \n* Type /newui into the chat bar and hit enter. \n* Log out and exit to your desktop and then log back in. \n\nor \n\n* Before you log in: \n* Open the EQclient.ini file in your EverQuest folder with a text \neditor (notepad works fine) \n* Find the [Defaults] section of the file \n* Add a line that reads: NewUI=TRUE \n* Log in \n\nWe want to thank all the folks that have helped us test the interface \nand have offered a wide variety of useful ideas. \n\nEnjoy the interface! \n\n*** Bazaar Now Available *** \n\nThose of you that own Shadows of Luclin now have access to the /bazaar \nand /trader functions. These functions only work in the Bazaar. You can \nfind the Bazaar on Luclin, adjacent to the Nexus and Shadowhaven. \n\n/bazaar opens up the Bazaar Search Window, which allows you to easily \nlocate specific items for sale by Traders in the Bazaar. /trader opens \nup the Bazaar Vendor window, which allows you to make items available \nfor sale to others in the Bazaar. \n\nYou can only use the Bazaar if you have the new interface turned on. \nSee the message above for details. \n\nAgain we'd like to thank the folks that helped us test this feature. \nAnd we'd like to apologize for the delay in delivery of the Bazaar. \n\nWe think that you'll find the finished product to be a good one. \n\n** ViewPort ** \n\nOne of the new commands available only with the new interface is \n/viewport. You can use this command to change the size of the gameplay \narea. \n\n/viewport [distance from left, distance from top, width, height] \n\nAll of the distances and numbers for the viewport command are in the \nsame measure as your screen resolution numbers. \n\nFor Example: Let's say you are running in 800 x 600 video mode and you \nwant to create view the game only in the top half of your screen (not \nthat you would). You would type: \n\n/viewport 0 0 800 300 \n\nThe top left of your screen is 0 and 0. 800 is the width of your \nscreen, and the 300 is one half of the height of the screen. \n\n/viewport reset - will reset the viewport to the default setting. \n\n\n** New Vah Shir Models ** \n\nWe have developed new models for the Vah Shir for use with the old \nworld. You may now choose to turn off the Luclin version of the Vah \nShir models and use these new models if you wish. These new Vah Shir \nmodels require less memory and you may want to use them in place of the \nLuclin models to improve system performance. \n\n** Spells ** \n\n- Fixed a bug with the bard songs Warsong and Battlecry of the Vah Shir \nthat caused them to slow you down when used without other haste \ncomponents. - Fixed a bug with bolt spells that caused double hits due \nto elevation. Sorry Mages. \n- Removed the \"Ahhh... I feel much better now!\" message from certain \nspells when the caster is over level 35. \n-Removed the reduction in damage to Damage over Time spells when used \non NPCs that are moving. \n- Mind Wrack will now consider the z-axis when calculating the maximum \ndistance group members can receive the beneficial affects of the spell. \n- Song of Sustenance should prevent unnecessary hungry and thirsty \nmessages. \n- Bind Affinity can no longer be cast on any ungrouped player in \narenas. \n- The caster of Voice Graft will once again see what is being said. \n- Spells that transfer hit points over time from the caster to a target \nwill no longer take effect on the target (the hit point gainer) if the \ncaster (the hit point giver) isn't also affected by the spell. \n- Added a spell effect message to Magician epic. \n- Beastlords now get Endure Disease at level 24 and Resist Disease at \n51 \n\n** Pets ** \n\n- Pet Resistance Changes: Pets will now use their master's level and \nresistances when saving against spells cast by NPCs (against PCs pets \nwill use their own resistances and level as they always have) - unless \nthe pet has special resistances, in which case it will use that \nresistance. \n- Altered pet summoning spells so that they always summon the most \npowerful pet possible, instead of pets within a 5 level range. \n- /pet report health now uses the same user defined color as spell \ntext. \n- /pet report health will now display a list of the effects on the pet. \n- Mage fire pets should now cast their damage shields more often. \n- Wizard, Druid and Cleric pets and familiars can now be buffed by \ncharacters other than their owner. \n\n** PvP ** \n\n- Fixed a bug on Tallon and Vallon Zek that made player characters in \nnon-human illusions immune to ranged attacks. \n- It is no longer possible for PC's to fear other PC's at all on any \nserver. The same was also done for charm. \n- Pets can no longer be affected by charm spells. This should fix the \nissue that caused charm spells to make pets disappear. \n- NPCs who are pets of players and call for help from other NPCs will \nhave their cries fall on deaf ears. \n\n** Alternate Advancement ** \n\n- Dire Charm will now send a message to inform the caster that the \ncharm has broken by Feign Death. \n- Spell Casting Subtlety should work properly for all levels of the \nability. \n\n** Zone Specific ** \n\n- Corrected a problem with a treasure table in Marus Seru. \n- The drakes in SkyShrine should no longer be dropping cloth caps. They \nshould now be producing Drake Eggs. The drakes are very happy about \nthis. \n- The mountain lions in Steamfont now have jawbones. They are happier \nabout this than the Drakes are about their eggs. \n- Hoshkar should no longer appear as a bag, qualifying him as the \nhappiest of them all. \n\n** Horses ** \n\n- Fixed a bug that was allowing characters to change into illegal forms \nwhile on horseback, causing some unusual displacement problems. \nCharacters will no longer be able to turn into those illegal forms \n(elementals, for example) while on a horse. \n\n** Quests ** \n\n- Corrected an issue with the Proudfoot Greaves recipe. \n- The Vex Thal key quest has been changed slightly. Celestial Rifts \nwill no longer be used to create the key - a new item replaces them \ncalled a Planar Rift. Planar Rifts are acquired by defeating the same \ncreature as before, however all future Rifts are going to be No-Drop. \n\nA Celestial Rift can be placed in a forge by itself and 'combined' to \ncreate a Planar Rift. Please be aware that the new Planar Rifts are No-\nDrop, and should only be converted in a forge by the intended owner. \nOld-style Celestial Rifts may be converted into the new Planar Rifts \nfor a period of one month from this patch. If you have any rifts \ncurrently, be sure to convert them to the new style within 30 days. \n\nThis change is not intended to make it more difficult or time consuming \nto acquire your Vex Thal key. Many players had brought forth concerns \nregarding the ability to hoard Celestial Rifts, which had the potential \nof causing some long-term issues. This fix addresses those concerns, \nand does not add any difficulty for players currently working on this \nquest. \n\n** Items ** \n\n- Shissar-bane bows should be working. \n- Irontoes Tipped Beer Stein should now look like a stein rather than a \nbag when equipped. \n- The Intricate Shield can now be used by Dwarves, High Elves, Iksar, \nVah Shir, Barbarians and Half Elves. \n- Imbued Steelsilk Helms now have plate graphics. \n- Large Fine Plate Boots can now be worn by Bards. \n- Crustacean Shell Helm now has a graphic. \n- Pickbringer's Chainmail Boots are now wearable by Gnomes. \n- Forged Firebrand Halberd now has a halberd graphic rather than an axe \ngraphic. Also, because it is a two-handed slashing weapon, it can no \nlonger be used by Bards. \n\n** Dialogues ** \n\nThere were a few NPCs that were not responding properly to their quest \ntext. This has been fixed for the following NPCs: Wizard Schrock, \nSeamey Whirewhisker, Oglard, Morgalanth Tal`Raeloen, Verona Rankin, \nGunex, Waltor Felligan, Nallar Q`Tentu, Lord Nethryn and Cilin \nSpellsinger. \n\n** Miscellaneous ** \n\n- NPCs no longer have a chance to break root when being healed or \nbuffed. \n- /split no longer has a chance to cause a loss of coins if done while \na group member is gating. \n\n** Grouping ** \n\nWe have revamped the grouping system. This is a major rewrite of the \nsystem that should have little effect on gameplay, with the exception \nof removing the bugs with the old system. Players should no longer have \nissues with their group due to the link-death of any member (including \nthe leader), zoning and other such issues. There is also a new command \navailable. \n\n/makeleader - The leader of the group can now reassign who the leader \nof the group is by use of this command. \n\n*** News from Faydwer *** \n\nIt is rumored that the major cities of Faydwer have announced a call to \narms for all young adventurers. News of mysterious bloodthirsty goblins \nto the west setting up encampments has prompted all residents of \nKaladim, Kelethin and Felwithe to all begin preparing themselves for \nwhat they think may be a momentous battle. Intelligence originating \nfrom the Scouts of Kaladim and Kelethin has informed their respective \nleaders of a possible alliance between a mysterious aqua goblin tribe \nand the Orcs of Clan Crushbone. Due to the possibility of an attack by \neither or both of these powerful tribes, guildmasters of all cities \nhave begun the training of young soldiers brave enough to heed the call \nto defend their homeland against all unknown creatures and new \ninhabitants. \n\n*** Call to Arms *** \n\nTarlain moved along through the tunnel at a brisk pace, a wistful smile \npainting his weathered features. His arm reached out from under his \ntravel stained greatcloak so that his hand could traced the side wall \nof granite while his mind recalled the many times he had passed through \nthis tunnel in his youth. It had been many years since and the memories \nof his training in the woodland ways within the environs of Surefall \nglade filled him with a peaceful nostalgia. \n\nThis nostalgia all but vanished as Tarlain rounded the final curve and \nbroke into the tree filtered sunlight of Surefall Glade and beheld a \nmost unexpected sight - a line of Qeynos foot soldiers marching past \nthe Ranger hall and on toward the far end of the Glade. What could \nbring the forces of Qeynos here? Knowing this could not bode well, \nTarlain strode quickly to the Ranger hall, his eyes on the receding \nbacks of the footmen. \n\nReaching the main hall entrance, Tarlain's sight latched on to a \nproclamation inked in the flowing hand of a Qeynos scribe and bearing \nthe seal of Antonius IV. It outlined the rising threat of Blackburrow \nGnolls invading and despoiling the previously sequestered Jaggedpine \nForest. Because of this danger Antonius has lifted his father's ruling \nto protect those forests and now calls for able-bodied men and militia \nto join in quelling the expansion of the vile Gnolls. Gritting his \nteeth at the thought of Gnolls invading the pristine woodlands, Tarlain \nturned and with a hand on his longsword, set off to catch up with the \nguardsmen and throw in his lot against the dogs of Blackburrow. \n\n(Note: Jaggedpine Forest is only available by using the optional files \ndownload option in the advanced section of the EverQuest patcher. Be \naware that the download required for this new zone is relatively \nlarge.)","content_hash":"15130324e89cd35ed6523ab7ba72a1364ac2e5fc188f926071903d02e4e00fcf","source_files":["patches-2002-2.txt","patches_1999-2010_combined.txt"],"source_titles":["July 24, 2002"],"source_url":null,"source_urls":[],"occurrence_count":2,"source_occurrences":[{"occurrence_id":"af0291837d3da0a39d502e0d28652f201cabbb0ca4a0d9e827b642fd156225d2","filename":"patches_1999-2010_combined.txt","adapter":"text","source_offset":350830,"item_index":null,"heading":"July 24, 2002","source_url":null,"source_url_raw":null,"published":null,"source_kind":"text","excerpt":false,"year_inferred":false},{"occurrence_id":"3d6b430b503668a159699000031d9da20c8c05b6f3c338abf2879316040982c6","filename":"patches-2002-2.txt","adapter":"text","source_offset":102,"item_index":null,"heading":"July 24, 2002","source_url":null,"source_url_raw":null,"published":null,"source_kind":"text","excerpt":false,"year_inferred":false}],"year_inferred":false,"sequence":1,"slug":"2002-07-24-1","id":"2002-07-24-1"},{"patch_date":"2002-04-09","effective_date":"2002-04-09","display_date":"April 9, 2002","title":"April 9, 2002","year":2002,"month":4,"kind":"live","era":"EverQuest Live","expansion":"The Shadows of Luclin","expansion_code":"the-shadows-of-luclin","categories":[{"slug":"bug-fixes","label":"Bug Fixes"},{"slug":"classes","label":"Classes"},{"slug":"spells-aa","label":"Spells & AA"},{"slug":"items","label":"Items"},{"slug":"zones-npcs","label":"Zones & NPCs"},{"slug":"tradeskills","label":"Tradeskills"},{"slug":"audio-graphics","label":"Audio & Graphics"}],"sections":["EverQuest Pricing Increase","great savings off of the new rates","NPCs and Items","Spells","Items","Zones","Trade skills","Miscellaneous","News from the Vale"],"change_count":46,"word_count":1118,"summary":"EverQuest Pricing Increase ** Due to the increased costs of running the EverQuest game service, we will be increasing our subscription rates in April.

Recently the Death Fist \nClans numbers in the thicket have increased and the Orcs are cutting \ndown trees and mining the rock of the nearby mountains. Reports have \ncome in to Rivervale that the Orcs are shipping the lumber and ore to \nthe commonlands and stockpiling it for an unknown purpose. Whatever the \nDeathfists agenda, their increased presence has made the thicket a more \ndangerous place beyond the protective wall. \n\nNot far from the tunnel that leads from the Misty Thicket to Rivervale \nlie mysterious cursed ruins. All that remains of what once stood at \nthese sites are fragments of walls that are presumed to have been \nconstructed around the same time as the nearby ruined tower. An ancient \nmagical scarecrow stands at the center of one of these ruins and warns \npassers by that the place is cursed. It is a popular belief among the \nhalflings of Rivervale that the crumbled walls once surrounded \nbeautiful and fruitful gardens that were cursed when their owner and \ncaretaker offended the Gods. Whether or not this story is true, the \nscarecrows warning is true as the gardens are host to diseased vermin \nand the animated corpses of fallen halflings who were brought to the \nthere and buried after their death by an unknown evil.\n\nWith the Goblin Clan Pickclaws now occupying a portion of Runnyeye \nCitadel the number of Goblins now residing in the Misty Thicket has \ngrown. These somewhat exiled Runnyeye Goblins have been mining Crude \nIron Ore from the nearby mountains and are most likely attempting to \nforge weapons and armor to use in a goblin revolt to reclaim all of \nRunnyeye Citadel from the Pickclaws. With enemies to all sides these \nsemi-exiled goblins are being far less troublesome than they have the \npotential to be.","content_hash":"95f5263d71b0155b75be13c3ca55a839798f92543213bed2bccf62b694e18d6a","source_files":["patches-2002-1.txt","patches_1999-2008_combined.md","patches_1999-2010_combined.txt"],"source_titles":["April 9, 2002"],"source_url":null,"source_urls":[],"occurrence_count":3,"source_occurrences":[{"occurrence_id":"4e6742ca8acf41f6441cea9a88bf1449c61fbf3ad7c973bebf39ca1c16b052a2","filename":"patches_1999-2008_combined.md","adapter":"markdown","source_offset":310762,"item_index":null,"heading":"April 9, 2002","source_url":null,"source_url_raw":null,"published":null,"source_kind":"markdown","excerpt":false,"year_inferred":false},{"occurrence_id":"287dffc44db14d46c417066d9dd0b557405bb3d58d769ccf9f4488e1a7f7c36a","filename":"patches_1999-2010_combined.txt","adapter":"text","source_offset":321721,"item_index":null,"heading":"April 9, 2002","source_url":null,"source_url_raw":null,"published":null,"source_kind":"text","excerpt":false,"year_inferred":false},{"occurrence_id":"17ba605c89691058ef152227e0b68301837f32a4c91f2104dc6c0c0fc3eb033b","filename":"patches-2002-1.txt","adapter":"text","source_offset":42904,"item_index":null,"heading":"April 9, 2002","source_url":null,"source_url_raw":null,"published":null,"source_kind":"text","excerpt":false,"year_inferred":false}],"year_inferred":false,"sequence":1,"slug":"2002-04-09-1","id":"2002-04-09-1"},{"patch_date":"2002-04-05","effective_date":"2002-04-05","display_date":"April 5, 2002 3:00 am","title":"April 5, 2002 3:00 am","year":2002,"month":4,"kind":"live","era":"EverQuest Live","expansion":"The Shadows of Luclin","expansion_code":"the-shadows-of-luclin","categories":[{"slug":"ui","label":"UI"},{"slug":"audio-graphics","label":"Audio & Graphics"}],"sections":["Graphics Engine Update"],"change_count":2,"word_count":37,"summary":"Graphics Engine Update ** S3 video cards: We've worked around a shortcoming in the S3 drivers that fixes the overlapping or \"cutout\" looking interface graphics.

This command allows you to turn on \nand off the \"DoProperTinting\" option in the eqclient.ini file. \nActivating this command should correct most tinting issues (such as \narmor tint also tinting the character's skin).

This function targets \nthe last character to send you a /tell.

This should reduce the resources used and improve gameplay.\n- Fixed a problem that was causing some users to see blocky, unblended \nterrain where terrain types meet.\n- Critical hit messages from spells now take into account PvP damage \ncalculations. The actual damage was calculated correctly, it was just \ndisplaying wrong on the critical message.\n- Fixed canoes, they should move forward and backwards normally again.\n- We have been working to prevent characters from being stuck in the \ngame after link death in such a way that prevents the player from \nlogging back in. Players should be able to log back in no more than 5 \nminutes after going link dead in all situations.\n- Added Sharvahl as a \"home zone\" for Vahshir when taking PvP racial \nfaction hits into account .\n- We have fixed the ATI flashing problem that some players with certain \ncards were having when inventory window was up.","content_hash":"18ddbfc9011bf93e70d2ff7d6d604c30a29d7fd30b6f67a09c5db0f0cd286450","source_files":["patches-2002-1.txt","patches_1999-2008_combined.md","patches_1999-2010_combined.txt"],"source_titles":["March 19, 2002"],"source_url":null,"source_urls":[],"occurrence_count":3,"source_occurrences":[{"occurrence_id":"57ee0499f2dff7cd8cf4f4353ae35e0e006ba15cf7bf5096cc2dd29e3ccd25da","filename":"patches_1999-2008_combined.md","adapter":"markdown","source_offset":299359,"item_index":null,"heading":"March 19, 2002","source_url":null,"source_url_raw":null,"published":null,"source_kind":"markdown","excerpt":false,"year_inferred":false},{"occurrence_id":"5116cdd9d73309ba069ca8c59705ebeb33d653b243b3ab687e4e910f3b1b64b3","filename":"patches_1999-2010_combined.txt","adapter":"text","source_offset":310027,"item_index":null,"heading":"March 19, 2002","source_url":null,"source_url_raw":null,"published":null,"source_kind":"text","excerpt":false,"year_inferred":false},{"occurrence_id":"ec72135a7857ada18c68106c374e23d9f6c1dc32032a4f4c9302081833e46f61","filename":"patches-2002-1.txt","adapter":"text","source_offset":31210,"item_index":null,"heading":"March 19, 2002","source_url":null,"source_url_raw":null,"published":null,"source_kind":"text","excerpt":false,"year_inferred":false}],"year_inferred":false,"sequence":1,"slug":"2002-03-19-1","id":"2002-03-19-1"},{"patch_date":"2002-02-13","effective_date":"2002-02-13","display_date":"February 13, 2002 3:00 am","title":"February 13, 2002 3:00 am","year":2002,"month":2,"kind":"live","era":"EverQuest Live","expansion":"The Shadows of Luclin","expansion_code":"the-shadows-of-luclin","categories":[{"slug":"bug-fixes","label":"Bug Fixes"},{"slug":"classes","label":"Classes"},{"slug":"spells-aa","label":"Spells & AA"},{"slug":"items","label":"Items"},{"slug":"zones-npcs","label":"Zones & NPCs"},{"slug":"quests-events","label":"Quests & Events"},{"slug":"tradeskills","label":"Tradeskills"},{"slug":"servers","label":"Servers"},{"slug":"audio-graphics","label":"Audio & Graphics"},{"slug":"expansions","label":"Expansions"}],"sections":["General","Gameplay Related","Trade Skill Related","Quest Related","Spell Related","Zone Related","Alternate Advancement Related","Discipline Related","Item Related","Firiona Vie","Tales","A Call to Arms!"],"change_count":74,"word_count":1505,"summary":"General ** Improved sound for many users.

The Lord Cazic was trying to tell \nhim something, but he could not yet decipher what it was. The hand on \nhis shoulder startled him and he turned quickly, striking the intruder \nwith a quick blow to the chest. The figure crumpled to the cold ground.\n\nGlox stood over him with a look of horror, it was one of his own pupils \nhe had struck. He lay bloodied and bruised at Glox's feet breathing \nheavily with much effort, he was obviously dying. The pupil reached up \ntoward Glox with something in his hand. Glox took the items from his \nhand and peered at them intently. There were two items, one was a \nglistening serpentine scale, the other an ancient stone symbol. Glox \nrecognized the symbol almost immediately with horror. It was the symbol \nof the Soriz, the ancient Iksar tribe that had been the slaves of the \nShissar empire. Glox looked down at his pupil again. \"Where did you get \nthis?\" The dying Iksar used his last ounce of energy to point up toward \nthe night sky and the moon of Luclin. \"sSs...

Each time you log…","content":"** Texture Cache **\n\nIn an effort to improve loading and zoning times, we've added the \nability to cache textures to your hard drive. One of the things that \nyour computer is doing when you load up the game or change zones is \nbuilding textures and putting them into RAM on your computer. Each time \nyou log in or zone the game has to create the textures you need and put \nthem into RAM for use during gameplay.\n\nThis, obviously, takes a little time.\n\nWe have added an option that allows you to save that information to \nyour hard drive rather than creating it each time you log in or zone.\n\nThis does have a few drawbacks. It will require a lot of hard drive \nspace to store these textures. In the most extreme case it could use up \nas much as 1.5 GB of hard drive space, though this would be the \nextreme. It could, however, easily use 500 MB of space on your hard \ndrive. And because writing all this data to your hard drive takes a \nlittle time, the first time you use this feature it will take a bit \nlonger to log in.\n\nThe game will never allow you to fall below 500 MB of space on your \nhard drive when creating the texture cache. This is to prevent any \nproblems with a shortage of space on your hard drive. But it also means \nthat you will need to have plenty of hard drive space free to use this \noption; 500 MB plus the amount needed for the texture cache.\n\nAlso, if you change any of your setting for graphics {like changing the \ntexture quality) it will have to rewrite these files, meaning that your \nfirst log in after making such a change will take longer than usual as \nit writes these files to your hard drive.\n\nThe benefits is that once you have allocated the hard drive space and \nlogged in to create the needed files, the game can then read that \ninformation directly into RAM from your hard drive rather than creating \nthem each time you log in or zone.\n\nWhat this feature does not allow you to do is to increase the settings \nabove those that are recommended. If the game suggests that you only \nuse ten models, turning on the Texture Cache will not make it a good \nidea to turn on more models. This feature will not change that. Those \nrecommendations are based on the amount of RAM you have available and \nyour video card. The hard drive cache does not effectively add RAM to \nyour machine, it just allows the game to save time creating the \ntextures that your existing RAM and video card use.\n\nThere are two ways to activate this feature. You can check the 'Texture \nCache' box in the Options screen, or you can turn it on from within the \neqclient.ini file. To activate it, add the following line to the \neqclient.ini file:\n\nTextureCache=TRUE\n\nThis could improve load times dramatically depending on your settings. \nThe more models and graphics features you have turned on, the greater \nthe potential decrease in loading times you will see using the Texture \nCache.\n\nRemember: This will require a lot of hard drive space, so be certain \nthat you have a lot of free hard drive space if you turn this option \non. The more stuff you enable (models, texture quality, etc.) the more \nspace you will need.\n\nWe expect this to be of greatest benefit to folks with 256 megs of RAM \nand a lot of hard drive space. The more RAM your system has, the less \nbenefit you should expect to see by using the texture cache.\n\n* Patch Changes *\n\n- Fixed a pathing problem in the waters of Acrylia Caverns\n- More fixes for face and hair issues: Most notably a bug with Erudite \nmale hair color arrows changing the hair style instead of the color.\n- Fixed a problem that was causing the % to crash some people when \nusing in tells.\n- Addressed several potential crash bugs.","content_hash":"0c3b0f73dba885521aec08173ec442a46f8c50cb1ea576eb5d306ce09acb94e3","source_files":["patches-2001-2.txt","patches_1999-2008_combined.md","patches_1999-2010_combined.txt"],"source_titles":["December 13, 2001 12:00 am"],"source_url":null,"source_urls":[],"occurrence_count":3,"source_occurrences":[{"occurrence_id":"13a64aa7759e224f518b4aa8ddaa22f87a9d70606202ce320bc00d03f210e29c","filename":"patches_1999-2008_combined.md","adapter":"markdown","source_offset":258936,"item_index":null,"heading":"December 13, 2001 12:00 am","source_url":null,"source_url_raw":null,"published":null,"source_kind":"markdown","excerpt":false,"year_inferred":false},{"occurrence_id":"458f2b170fbafe639c0a1371b0358cf8e38a8224ad6dfe378a2926bab025c1cf","filename":"patches_1999-2010_combined.txt","adapter":"text","source_offset":268276,"item_index":null,"heading":"December 13, 2001 12:00 am","source_url":null,"source_url_raw":null,"published":null,"source_kind":"text","excerpt":false,"year_inferred":false},{"occurrence_id":"21af52729f97bc7bec3c4bd13102b3d7b8d0507e9b536ad4b0b31ad7c968d564","filename":"patches-2001-2.txt","adapter":"text","source_offset":60348,"item_index":null,"heading":"December 13, 2001 12:00 am","source_url":null,"source_url_raw":null,"published":null,"source_kind":"text","excerpt":false,"year_inferred":false}],"year_inferred":false,"sequence":1,"slug":"2001-12-13-1","id":"2001-12-13-1"},{"patch_date":"2001-12-11","effective_date":"2001-12-11","display_date":"December 11, 2001 12:00 am","title":"December 11, 2001 12:00 am","year":2001,"month":12,"kind":"live","era":"EverQuest Live","expansion":"The Shadows of Luclin","expansion_code":"the-shadows-of-luclin","categories":[{"slug":"bug-fixes","label":"Bug Fixes"},{"slug":"spells-aa","label":"Spells & AA"},{"slug":"zones-npcs","label":"Zones & NPCs"},{"slug":"audio-graphics","label":"Audio & Graphics"},{"slug":"expansions","label":"Expansions"}],"sections":["Patch Changes"],"change_count":7,"word_count":87,"summary":"Patch Changes* Fixed a memory leak that was causing excessive swapping when moving between outdoor Luclin zones.

And that's what I've called you here to talk about. \n\n... \n\nNo, I am not assigning you the duty of establishing a mail route into \nGrobb. We've lost far too many young bards trying to do that. \nRecruitment of smart young lads and lasses is nearly impossible when \nthey all think that we plan to send them out to become bard fillet. \nWe've only been able to recruit youngsters that no other guild wanted \nbecause they were so... \n\n... \n\nNo, of course I don't mean you. \n\nNow stop interrupting. \n\nI have a job for you. You know, don't you, that Al'Kabor has once again \nbeen clomping about using his powerful magics without much regard for \nconsequences, don't you? \n\n... \n\n/em sighs. \n\nOk, your FIRST task is to read up on current events! () \n\nYour second task is to find out if the rumors about his recent \nexperiments are true. They say (and \"they\" are pretty reliable) that \nthings such as noble-looking Kerrans calling themselves the Vah Shir, \nstrange beasts of burden and new spells and songs have started showing \nup on Antonica. They also say that this is all due to the experiments \nof that Erudite Wizard Al'Kabor. You are to head out to one of the \ngreat wizard spires and investigate. If you can, interview one of these \ncat people and bring us back one of these horses they talk about... \n\n... \n\nMaybe you should talk to my assistant about things like directions out \nof the city and where you can find some shoes more appropriate for \ntravel.\" \n\nAll this you overhear as you wait outside for your turn to talk to the \nloremasters of the League of Antonican Bards. \n\nThe door opens and you see a dejected and confused looking young bard \nstep out. Following him out the door you hear a bellow, \n\n\"I also expect you to let everyone know that we are NO LONGER trying to \nestablish mail routes to Grobb! Trolls can't read very well anyway.\" \n\nShadows of Luclin opens up new adventures and new challenges, as well \nas new rewards for those with a spirit of adventure. \n\nAre you up to the challenge? \n\n*** Notes for Shadows of Luclin customers *** \n\nIMPORTANT: do not lose your Shadows of Luclin CDs. Because of the \nimmense amount of data on the three Shadows of Luclin CDs, you will not \nbe able to just copy the executable file into a new directory and \ndownload the rest of the expansion. We have placed restrictions on the \namount of data that customers can download from our patcher so that \nmassive patching as a replacement for reinstalling from the disk will \nnot impact our other customers. So if you have a hard drive problem or \nyou wish to install EverQuest on a new computer, you will need to have \nyour CD to do so. \n\nTECH SUPPORT: Please visit our Tech Support Center at if you have any \nproblems with your Luclin installation. \n\n/facepick - this new command will allow those of you with Shadows of \nLuclin to change your characters face. It will only work for characters \nusing the new models. If you've turned off Gnomes and your character is \na Gnome, you will not be able to use this command on that character. \nAnd it will, obviously, only work for those with Shadows of Luclin \ninstalled. \n\n/dismount - This command allows your character to dismount from a horse \nif for some reason he has lost the ability to do so using the bridle. \nThere is no /mount command, only the bridle will allow you to mount a \nhorse. \n\n*** Other Changes with this Patch *** \n\nAlong with our preparations for the introduction of Shadows of Luclin, \nwe have made a few other changes with this patch: \n\n** Gameplay Changes ** \n\n- Increased the amount of mana given by high Intelligence and Wisdom \nscores, as well as that granted by items and spells. \n\n- Fixed a bug that was causing rogues to critical with every use of a \nthrown weapon. \n\n- Fixed a bug that caused the experience bar to displaying incorrectly \nafter leveling. This also seemed to cause a crash in certain cases when \nin F10 view. \n\n** PvP Changes ** \n\n- PVP looting will now display to the group. \n\n- Empty corpses will no longer disappear when looted by an enemy \nplayer, they will decay at the normal rate for empty corpses. \n\n- Guards in 'guard zones', such as cities, will continue to protect \ncharacters that they find the least offensive (the one with the highest \nfaction). But guards in outdoor zones will be less likely to join in a \nfight. They will only come to the aid of people that they like. \nOtherwise they will not get involved in PvP combat. \n\n- Etched Peridot of Nature will be removed from all locations, \nincluding those held by players on their characters or in their banks. \nThis item was not intended to be available until Shadows of Luclin went \nlive, and then only in Luclin zones. \n\n** Spell Changes ** \n\n- Spells that heal less than 10 points of damage will not generate a \nmessage to the player. \n\n- Velious portal teeth (Great Divide, Wakening Lands and Cobalt Scar) \nare no longer required to teleport to those locations. These items are \nalso no longer soul bound. \n\n- Fixed a bug with the Bard Song of Occlusion \n\n** New Commands ** \n\n- /stand now implemented. We've added this command because not everyone \nspeaks programmer and would think that the logical reverse of /sit \nwould be /sit off. :) \n\n- /particledensity command - Switches particle density on the fly \nwithout having to click it in the menus and exit the game. \n\n** Some new things you'll see ** \n\n- We now have the ability to flag an NPC as non-targetable. This in \neffect renders the NPC non-attackable as well. Clicking on one of these \nNPCs will cause your current target selection to clear. This \nfunctionality is used primarily for the presentation of content. For \ninstance, if we want an NPC to spawn and tell you a story, he can tell \nhis story without being attacked mid-sentance by other players. It also \nopens up some pretty interesting content avenues. As an example, we can \nmake NPCs unharmable until you do a quest \"stripping them of their \npower\". \n\n- There are several new item classes (types) in the world. For example, \nthere are weapons that do enhanced damage versus certain races (e.g. \nPerhaps you'll find a +2 vs froglok sword, or a +4 vs Bear club. In \naddition we can do the same type of thing with types of creatures (+3 \nvs humanoid, +1 vs Undaed). We've also added elemental modifiers (e.g. \na +4 Fire sword). The bonus value is calculated as and increased DMG \nstat on the weapon, except that the elemental portion is run through \nthe resistance system before calculating the strength of your hit. \nThere are some items out there with bonuses to some more interesting \nstats, but we'll leave it to you to figure them out :) \n\n- There's a lot more out there. Be prepared to reevaluate your \nassumptions and redefine the way you approach the world. Proposed \nsolutions to situations and quests that you might have previously \nwritten off saying, \"They can't do that in EverQuest\", might be exactly \nthe way you need to approach the problem at hand. As fellow gamers, we \nenvy you as you approach Luclin and find everything fresh, new, and \nwaiting to be solved. And to those of you who aren't first to solve the \nquests or adventure in the new areas, we urge you to do so with your \nfriends, and leave the spoiler sites out of it. Good luck on your \njournies. \n\n** Note on New Features ** \n\nEverQuest: The Shadows of Luclin contains many new features which have \nyet to stand up to the scrutiny of 400,000 experienced players. Without \ndoubt there will be some situations where we need to reevaluate the \ngameplay-impact of some of those features and adjust them accordingly \nto maintain game integrity. As an example, we think that they might \naccelerate and decelerate too quickly, but will have to wait until we \nsee them used by a broad spectrum of players before we can make a final \ndetermination. We thank you for your patience in these matters. \n\n** Note on Impending Features **\n\nAs we approached our launch date we found that several features which \nare planned are also not yet ready for prime-time. We're currently \nworking on the following items, many of which will be implemented in \nthe very near future: \n\n- Extra flora in outdoor zones. Sprigs of grass, small bushes, flowers, \netc. \n\n- A robuste merchantile system in the bazaar that lets you flag \nyourself as a merchant, set prices, and conduct business without having \nto conduct business manually with each buyer and seller. \n\n- We will be polishing up issues regarding tinted items in game. In \nother words, things that shouldn't tint with a tinted item (e.g. your \nskin) won't tint when the feature is complete. \n\n- Light beards on high elves, dark elves, half elves, and dwarf females \nwill be tintable along with the hair color. We are going to leave in \nthe ability for you to change your appearance until after we've added \nmore customization options. \n\nWe thank you for your patience and patronage as we implement these \nfeatures. Good luck with your adventures on Luclin! \n\n- The EverQuest Team","content_hash":"d420a5786affeb7ffda9aeed627b7d68aa383cea2371d7fdcd8da6bf2b208f3d","source_files":["patches-2001-2.txt","patches_1999-2008_combined.md","patches_1999-2010_combined.txt"],"source_titles":["December 4, 2001 6:00 am"],"source_url":null,"source_urls":[],"occurrence_count":3,"source_occurrences":[{"occurrence_id":"68e4addaac61eca337f712591563175c7e7c6f18c24b61bc73d24b5fb20b3958","filename":"patches_1999-2008_combined.md","adapter":"markdown","source_offset":242198,"item_index":null,"heading":"December 4, 2001 6:00 am","source_url":null,"source_url_raw":null,"published":null,"source_kind":"markdown","excerpt":false,"year_inferred":false},{"occurrence_id":"35825f242c19df9acb5727dfdc271a90b5d778ed0e5198134f0b9a69ff0ccf80","filename":"patches_1999-2010_combined.txt","adapter":"text","source_offset":250956,"item_index":null,"heading":"December 4, 2001 6:00 am","source_url":null,"source_url_raw":null,"published":null,"source_kind":"text","excerpt":false,"year_inferred":false},{"occurrence_id":"7589879d2ed1debb836c30621f5a7aa19e2832beee670d2246a7451a46eb6a23","filename":"patches-2001-2.txt","adapter":"text","source_offset":43028,"item_index":null,"heading":"December 4, 2001 6:00 am","source_url":null,"source_url_raw":null,"published":null,"source_kind":"text","excerpt":false,"year_inferred":false}],"year_inferred":false,"sequence":1,"slug":"2001-12-04-1","id":"2001-12-04-1"},{"patch_date":"2001-12-03","effective_date":"2001-12-03","display_date":"Dcember 3, 2001","title":"Dcember 3, 2001","year":2001,"month":12,"kind":"live","era":"EverQuest Live","expansion":"The Scars of Velious","expansion_code":"the-scars-of-velious","categories":[{"slug":"bug-fixes","label":"Bug Fixes"},{"slug":"servers","label":"Servers"},{"slug":"audio-graphics","label":"Audio & Graphics"}],"sections":["EQClient INI Setting"],"change_count":1,"word_count":132,"summary":"EQClient INI Setting* There's some confusion about the information that's been released on the Test server over the past couple of days, and that confusion is resulting in some people having trouble playing EverQuest.

Don't wait. If you are worried about a corpse that you were \nunable to deal with before the patch, then please log in and check on \nit right away after the patch.\n\nSo please make certain that you have as many of your corpses cleaned up \nas possible before the next patch. We're not expecting a lot of corpses \nto disappear, but the fewer lying around, the less chance of them \ndisappearing.\n\nThanks.\n\n- The EverQuest Team\n\n*** Patch Message ***\n\n** Zone Changes **\n\n- Runnyeye has been changed. Something is up in Goblin land...\n\n\n** Spell and Song Changes and Bug Fixes **\n\n- We've been fixing holes in the spell stacking code. For the most part \nthe changes fix bugs that allowed tricks to get spells to stack that \nwere never intended to stack.\n\n- Increased duration on Bard Charm songs to 18 seconds from 12 seconds.\n\n- Fixed the Spell Scroll for Imbue Amber so that Erudite Clerics of \nCazic Thule can scribe it.\n\n- The casting messages for Necromancer pet summoning spells have been \nchanged to be more appropriate.\n\n** Features and Interface Changes **\n\n- The variable %t will now work with /assist. So you can use /assist %t \nif you wish. Though it should have exactly the same effect as /assist \nwithout the %t.\n\n- %r returns \"corpse\" for corpses and \"NPC\" for targeted NPCs.\n\n- Sense traps failure message text color has been changed to user color \n15 (same as other skill messages). The success message was already set \nto user color 15.\n\n- Ignore Lists now work the same way that the Friends List does. It has \nbeen expanded to 30 names per character per server. The new ignore list \nis stored in the same ini file as the friends list _<#>.ini). The first \ntime a character is created or loaded after the patch their new ignore \nlist will be a copy of the old ignore list, but will from then on be \nunique to the character.\n\n- The Alt key now works in several new situations. It will now show \nitem names when in the trade window. Because the trade items of the \nlocal player and the trading partner are so close together, the item \nnames of the trading partner will always show up unless the player \npositions their mouse pointer over the local player part of the trade \nwindow, which will cause the game to only show the local player's trade \nitem names.\n\n- The Alt key will show item names for items in your bank.\n\n- The Alt key will also pop up names for merchant items and corpse \nitems when you hold it down in merchant mode or loot mode.\n\n- The Alt key will even pop up names for items in open containers when \nheld down and the mouse cursor is over the open container window (they \ndon't show up otherwise).\n\n- The client will now automatically reject a /duel request from any \nplayer that is on your /ignore list. Some players were using this to \nannoy players that had ignored them.\n\n- You also will no longer see /consent messages from people that are on \nyour /ignore list (this was also something people were doing to annoy \npeople that had ignored them).\n\n- /who GUILD (and the GUILD must be in caps) will now show you the \nmembers of your guild in your zone. You can also specify a guild name, \nsuch as /who \"Irontoe Brigade\".\n\n- /safelock command added. /safelock will lock the EverQuest interface \n(mostly just mouse clicks, keyboard commands/movement, and most slash \ncommands) with the password that you supply to the command. You must \nuse this command a second time, supplying the same password, to unlock \nthe interface. Passwords are NOT case-sensitive. So to lock your \ninterface, you would type /safelock password. You would do the same to \nunlock it. REMEMBER: If you forget what password you typed, you will \nneed to reboot your machine.\n\n** Item Changes **\n\n- All the shields in the game that have the Ribcage graphic should now \nalso have the ribcage icon when they are in your inventory.\n\n- Tinkered Watchman helm should show up now.\n\n- Ring of Pureblood is now equipable only on your fingers instead of \nyour waist.\n\n- Grand Master's Leg Wraps and Fists of the Grand Master are now No-\nDrop. They were intended to be No-Drop when they were created. \n\n- Peacekeeper Staff and the Bug Collection box are no longer equipable. \nThere are problems that can arise when containers can be equipped, so \nwe had to disable that for these items.\n\n- Sewing Kits: No existing sewing kits are being changed with this \npatch. But from now on, kits sold on vendors will be somewhat \ndifferent. Large Sewing Kits will have 8 slots. Deluxe Sewing Kits will \nhave 10 slots and weight slightly more than the Large Sewing Kit.\n\n- Changed the color of the Kael SK quest armor from a very pretty blue-\ngreen to a more appropriate reddish-gray.\n\n** Other Stuff **\n\n- Changed the spelling of Troubador to Troubadour for the 55th level \nbard title. :)\n\n- King Tormax's spawn rate has been adjusted to be more in line with \nthat of his counterparts in Velious. This is not the sort of thing that \nwe will usually announce, as spawn times and things of that nature are \npart of the dynamic content of EverQuest. We're announcing this, \nhowever, to help avoid some confusion.\n\n\n- The EverQuest Team","content_hash":"e0a4468516ace3a8a71def3eb5165e0377e979c6521ea641ff2a4ffb6a2ce724","source_files":["patches-2001-1.txt","patches_1999-2008_combined.md","patches_1999-2010_combined.txt"],"source_titles":["May 30, 2001"],"source_url":null,"source_urls":[],"occurrence_count":3,"source_occurrences":[{"occurrence_id":"6d7db02c65506de433f9d36bdcc1d406374a596ccd7fd925cf8515e00428bd60","filename":"patches_1999-2008_combined.md","adapter":"markdown","source_offset":188507,"item_index":null,"heading":"May 30, 2001","source_url":null,"source_url_raw":null,"published":null,"source_kind":"markdown","excerpt":false,"year_inferred":false},{"occurrence_id":"32ce6d96d0ff8ca04c3f301776e03236b0823d7305583c650c720c295ba9cc70","filename":"patches_1999-2010_combined.txt","adapter":"text","source_offset":195180,"item_index":null,"heading":"May 30, 2001","source_url":null,"source_url_raw":null,"published":null,"source_kind":"text","excerpt":false,"year_inferred":false},{"occurrence_id":"00e79d52e4e979ae8f01e06d18649751e03aee4e6b3acc6a1871d6d7f47278b6","filename":"patches-2001-1.txt","adapter":"text","source_offset":70430,"item_index":null,"heading":"May 30, 2001","source_url":null,"source_url_raw":null,"published":null,"source_kind":"text","excerpt":false,"year_inferred":false}],"year_inferred":false,"sequence":1,"slug":"2001-05-30-1","id":"2001-05-30-1"},{"patch_date":"2001-05-08","effective_date":"2001-05-08","display_date":"May 8, 2001 3:00 am","title":"May 8, 2001 3:00 am","year":2001,"month":5,"kind":"live","era":"EverQuest Live","expansion":"The Scars of Velious","expansion_code":"the-scars-of-velious","categories":[{"slug":"bug-fixes","label":"Bug Fixes"},{"slug":"classes","label":"Classes"},{"slug":"spells-aa","label":"Spells & AA"},{"slug":"items","label":"Items"},{"slug":"zones-npcs","label":"Zones & NPCs"},{"slug":"quests-events","label":"Quests & Events"},{"slug":"ui","label":"UI"},{"slug":"pvp","label":"PvP"},{"slug":"servers","label":"Servers"},{"slug":"audio-graphics","label":"Audio & Graphics"},{"slug":"expansions","label":"Expansions"}],"sections":["PvP changes","EverQuest","Quest Changes","Bug Fixes","Item Changes","Spell Changes and Additions","Feature Additions and Changes"],"change_count":34,"word_count":1250,"summary":"PvP changes ** We have made the first of our upcoming changes to the PvP aspects of EverQuest: Consider: /Consider will only have three results when used to consider a Player Character.

The character will show as 'green' if he \nis below the range that allows you to attack him. The character will \nshow as 'white/black' if he is within your ability to attack. And the \ncharacter will show as 'red' if he is above your range. This will only \ntake effect on PvP servers.\n\n- Sanctuary Levels: Characters below level six will not be able to \nengage in PvP combat, unless they take part in a Guild War, duel or use \nthe Arena. This will, obviously, only take place on PvP servers.\n\n- De-Leveling: Characters that lose levels will only retain the combat \nskills of a character two levels higher. This means that if a character \nof level 10 somehow loses 5 levels, that character will only have \nskills that would be available to a 7th level character. This change \nwill apply to all servers (it has to, code-wise). So the two level \nbuffer is there to make certain that people that lose levels during \nnormal gameplay will be minimally affected (hopefully not affected at \nall), while those that purposefully lose levels with the intent of \ncausing other players grief will find themselves at no great advantage.\n\nThese are the first of the things that we plan to. We are taking a \ncareful, step-by-step approach to changes whenever we can, and we have \nother changes planned for upcoming patches.\n\n** Quest Changes **\n\n- We've made a change to the Velious armor quests. The folks in Kael \nand in Skyshrine that give out rewards for these quests are now being \nstricter about who they will reward quest items to. You will have to be \nconsidered an 'ally' (see Features section below) by these NPCs in \norder to be able to complete these quests. If you are doing quests for \nthe Coldain, however, they are somewhat less picky, and they only \nrequire that they consider you 'kindly' to reward you for your labors.\n\n- The Black Silk Cape will now drop more frequently.\n\n** Bug Fixes **\n\n- Attacking with a two-handed piercing weapon will now 'gray-out' the \nattack button as it should.\n\n- Text that once read: \"You cannot remove this affect.\" now reads \"You \ncannot remove this effect.\" Changed by popular demand... :)\n\n- Food Emotes: Forcing your character to eat by right clicking food \nwill now properly display the appropriate emote to those in the area.\n\n- Fixed a problem that often made it difficult to loot really large \nNPCs.\n\n\n** Item Changes **\n\n- The Shield of Tsunami can now be equipped in the secondary slot.\n\n- Quivers now reduce the delay time on bows, the better the quiver the \nfaster your bow. We will not be listing the speed increase a quiver \nwill give your bow, but you can tell the good quivers by their ability \nto reduce the weight of your arrows (better-made or magical quivers \nhave this property).\n\n- The Ivory Handled Falchion should now 'proc' without telling you that \nit is out of charges. You may need to contact your GM to replace the \nitem with a new version if it is still acting strangely.\n\n- The Opal Bracelet is now a wrist item, not a finger item. Be aware, \nonce you remove it from your finger, it will not go back onto that \nfinger, it will only fit on your wrists, as it should.\n\n- The Large Dragonbone Shard will no longer appear to be a Staff of the \nGathering.\n\n- The Ring of Levitation will now poof when all the charges are used \nup, and should display the correct number of charges.\n\n- The Priceless Velium Reinforced Bow now has a range of 200 instead of \na range of 0.\n\n- The Refined Mithril Blade should now be equipable in both primary and \nsecondary slots.\n\n- The Unicorn Horn should now have a graphic.\n\n- The Hammer of Flattening has been changed from tiny to large. This \nmight cause you a little reorganization in your inventory.\n\n- Runebranded Stone Buckler is now labeled as a shield and can be used \nto bash.\n\n- The Ring of Pureblood is now a finger item, not a waist item.\n\n** Spell Changes and Additions **\n\n- Translocation spells: Five new Wizard 'push' spells have been added \n(Translocate: Fay, Tox, North, Combine and Group). Translocate spells \nsend the group to the location, while the Wizard remains behind. \nTranslocate Group sends everyone in the group (except the Wizard) to \ntheir own bind points. Translocate Group can be found on NPCs in \nVelious (and they won't give them up easily). The others are available \non an exclusive vendor. All Translocate spells (even the original \nTranslocate) have confirmation boxes that must be accepted before the \ntarget will be sent. And Wizards can no longer Translocate themselves.\n\n- Some lower 39th and 44th level Velious spells have had their drop \nrates increased.\n\n- GM Resurrection has had it's name changed from ResurrectionGM to \nCustomer Service Resurrection so that players will be able to better \ntell when they are getting a resurrection from the GM staff. GM \nresurrection will no longer have Res effects, and will leave the newly \nRessed with full Hit Points and Mana.\n\n- Divine Aura and spells of that type (Divine Aura - cleric, Divine \nBarrier - cleric, Kazumi's Note of Preservation - bard, Harmshield - \nnecromancer, Quivering Veil of Xarn - necromancer) will now prevent the \ncaster from being stunned when hit for their duration.\n\n- The Eye of Zomm series of spells will no longer work in Kedge Keep. \nThis change was made to prevent an exploit.\n\n** Feature Additions and Changes **\n\n- Looting text has been changed. You will now see a -- before and after \nany loot messages. This has been changed primarily to help prevent any \nfake looting messages from being thought of as real.\n\n- When you loot an item, you will receive a text message telling you \nwhat you have just looted.\n\n- Expanded Friends List: The Friends List will now hold 30 character \nnames. And each character has its own friends list. You can find and \nedit this list with a text editor, if you need to, outside the game. \nYou can locate the text files in your EverQuest directory. The files \nwill look like this: _<#>.ini. The default Friends List for existing \nand new characters will be your old Friends List.\n\n- The destroy or drop item confirmation box will now close if you \naccidentally pick up another item while they are open. This should \nprevent accidentally deleting or dropping the wrong item.\n\n- When selling to a merchant, you can no longer sell items that are \ninside a container by having the container selected and clicking the \nsell button. The merchant will tell you that you need to empty the \ncontainer before the merchant will buy it. This should prevent folks \nfrom accidentally selling items that they did not know were in those \ncontainers.\n\n- You can now move items around inside containers that are in the bank.\n\n- There is a new /consider message: \"regards you as an ally\". This is \nthe highest level of friendliness that an NPC will register using the \n/consider command. The faction required to reach this rating is \nsignificantly higher than 'warmly'.\n\n- The EverQuest Team","content_hash":"b2ef35be5eb479c6633240d61c19a30b46033940ae90043e495e0b13f7dacf6b","source_files":["patches-2001-1.txt","patches_1999-2008_combined.md","patches_1999-2010_combined.txt"],"source_titles":["May 8, 2001 3:00 am"],"source_url":null,"source_urls":[],"occurrence_count":3,"source_occurrences":[{"occurrence_id":"195151cd69a7502fa6e8f27ab64b598a1091fbbdcfcd32fb2e38589e84823f88","filename":"patches_1999-2008_combined.md","adapter":"markdown","source_offset":178309,"item_index":null,"heading":"May 8, 2001 3:00 am","source_url":null,"source_url_raw":null,"published":null,"source_kind":"markdown","excerpt":false,"year_inferred":false},{"occurrence_id":"33c1fdfda2ad25b9abd722293e1ca6c94c540725fc05b1e7dc8e19095993b9f7","filename":"patches_1999-2010_combined.txt","adapter":"text","source_offset":184594,"item_index":null,"heading":"May 8, 2001 3:00 am","source_url":null,"source_url_raw":null,"published":null,"source_kind":"text","excerpt":false,"year_inferred":false},{"occurrence_id":"f31e35af253645c6cfb470995726a370fb19ce069807619ff2c667e3966d6e4e","filename":"patches-2001-1.txt","adapter":"text","source_offset":59844,"item_index":null,"heading":"May 8, 2001 3:00 am","source_url":null,"source_url_raw":null,"published":null,"source_kind":"text","excerpt":false,"year_inferred":false}],"year_inferred":false,"sequence":1,"slug":"2001-05-08-1","id":"2001-05-08-1"},{"patch_date":"2001-04-18","effective_date":"2001-04-18","display_date":"April 18, 2001 Luclin Announced - Press Release","title":"April 18, 2001 Luclin Announced - Press Release","year":2001,"month":4,"kind":"news","era":"EverQuest Live","expansion":"The Scars of Velious","expansion_code":"the-scars-of-velious","categories":[{"slug":"spells-aa","label":"Spells & AA"},{"slug":"items","label":"Items"},{"slug":"zones-npcs","label":"Zones & NPCs"},{"slug":"quests-events","label":"Quests & Events"},{"slug":"audio-graphics","label":"Audio & Graphics"},{"slug":"expansions","label":"Expansions"}],"sections":[],"change_count":6,"word_count":356,"summary":"SONY ONLINE ENTERTAINMENT EXPANDS EVERQUEST(r) UNIVERSE WITH \"EVERQUEST(r): SHADOWS OF LUCLIN(tm)\" Massive Additions in Store for SOE's Premier Role-Playing Game-- SAN DIEGO, CA - April 18, 2001 - Sony Online Entertainment announced today its new expansion pack, \"EverQuest: Shadows of Luclin\" for…","content":"SONY ONLINE ENTERTAINMENT EXPANDS EVERQUEST(r) UNIVERSE WITH \n\"EVERQUEST(r): SHADOWS OF LUCLIN(tm)\"\n\n- Massive Additions in Store for SOE's Premier Role-Playing Game--\n\nSAN DIEGO, CA - April 18, 2001 - Sony Online Entertainment announced \ntoday its new expansion pack, \"EverQuest: Shadows of Luclin\" for the \nInternet's most popular role-playing game, \"EverQuest(r).\" The new \nexpansion pack will introduce EverQuest fans to an enchanting moonscape \npacked with new adventure zones, new items, creatures and spells, a new \nplayable character class and more.

This fellow \nhas been steadfastly refusing to appear where and when we ask him to. \nWe've worked out a deal with his agent, and we think he'll be back to \nwork with this patch.\n\n- Corrected an anomaly with hit point bars that occurred when a \ncharacter was healed or damaged by spells. This could be seen, for \nexample, when a character was healed and the hit point bar would go up \nand then quickly go back down a bit right afterwards. There was no \nerror in the assignment of healing or damage previously, just in the \nway it was being displayed.\n\n- Fixed the visual bracer bug where other people would see a different \nbracer graphic than you would. Now everyone (including the wearer) will \nalways see the same bracer texture. If you have two bracers that have a \ndifferent look (one is leather and one is steel, for example), make \nsure that the one you want to show up graphically is on your right \nwrist inventory slot, because this is the one that the game will choose \nto show for you (unless you take off the left one and put it back on, \nwhich will show the left one, but that is only temporary, and it will \ngo back to showing the right one after you zone or reenter the game).\n\n- Fixed zoning problem in Nurga to Droga that caused characters to be \nfacing the wrong way when they zoned, often causing confusion that lead \nto accidentally zoning back the way they had come. You should be facing \nthe right way when you make that zone transition now.\n\n** Zone and Quest Changes **\n\n- The marauding Tar Goos will no longer be assisted by the Geonids. \nThis should make at least one quest more available.\n\n- Grobb should now have a couple of ovens. Hopefully this will allow \nTroll bakers to keep their fellows full of carbs and ready to fight.\n\n- Fixed a bug that occurred when selling stacks of items. Previously, \nif you had 4 bat wings and sold them one by one to the merchant, the \nmerchant would have 4 bat wings for you to buy, but if you sold all \nfour at once to the merchant he would only have one for you to buy. Now \nhe will have 4 in either case.\n\n- We have increased the spawn rate of Venril Sathir and his skeletal \nremains. Please note that only Rangers and Druids will be able to \ntrigger the spawn for the skeletal remains, and those remains will only \nbe dropping items for those epic quests. Hopefully these changes will \ndramatically reduce the competition and resentment over this spawn.\n\n- We have reduced resistances to some spell types on some NPCs in Sky \nShrine and the Tower of Frozen Shadow. This is the beginning of our \noverview of the resistances of NPCs in Velious.\n\n** Improved and New Features **\n\n- When you /consent someone it will give them the ability to drag all \nof your corpses.\n\n- You can now buy stacks of combinable items (such as rations, water, \netc...) from merchants. It works the same way as sell in that you can \nhold down shift to buy a full stack and control to buy just one item.\n\n- Added the ability to change the color of all windows at one time with \n/wincolor (all windows that can be changed, that is). You can now use \n/wincolor ALL 0 0 100 2, for example, instead of having to set each \nwindow separately.\n\n- Right-clicking items while looting will 'auto-equip' them. This will \nwork just as if you had picked the items up and dropped them onto the \n'auto-equip' area of your character profile. So if there is already a \npiece of equipment on your character in the spot where the looted item \nwould normally go, it will drop into your inventory, if you have room \nfor it.\n\n- The tab key will no longer toggle between you and your last target \nwhen the chat bar is up. When the chat bar is open the tab key will \ntake you through the list of your most recent /tell names or /reply \nnames. When the chat bar is closed the tab key will switch you between \nyourself and your last target.\n\n- /assist has an added parameter. /assist on and /assist off will \ndetermine whether or not your character auto-attacks when you use \n/assist. So if you type /assist off, from that time forward using \n/assist will NOT engage your character's auto-attack. This change will \nbe persistent, so it will remain as you left it when you log out. \n/assist also now has a range of 200 feet.\n\n- The destroy confirmation requestor now shows the name of the item you \nare trying to destroy, or it just says money if you are destroying \ncoins. This should greatly reduce the chance of accidentally deleting \nthe wrong item. PLEASE read the text in the destroy confirmation box to \nbe certain that you are destroying the right item before choosing to \ndestroy it.\n\n- Hailing Player Character will now say 'Hail Playername', rather than \njust 'hail'.\n\n- Added /charinfo command. Currently this command only reports the zone \nwhere the current character is bound. We may add further information as \nthings progress.\n\n- You will now see how much damage your character has taken when he is \nhit by a spell that causes instant damage (DOT damage is not reported).\n\n** Item Changes **\n\n- We've made a change to the Red Scabbard that should relieve most of \nthe problems warriors were having with their epic weapon occasionally \ndisappearing during conversion between the two-handed weapon and the \ntwo one-handed weapons. What will happen now is rather simple. The very \nnext time you use the container to combine the weapons (or break them \napart), the old scabbard will disappear and a new one will replace it.\n\nTHE NEW SCABBARD AND THE SWORDS WILL APPEAR ON YOUR CURSOR, rather than \nin your inventory. So once you have combined them, make sure to place \nthem in your inventory. And don't panic, the items didn't disappear. :) \nBut also MAKE CERTAIN THAT YOU HAVE ROOM IN YOUR INVENTORY FOR ALL \nTHREE ITEMS (the two swords and the scabbard, which is a container and \nneeds to be able to fit into your main inventory). If you end up with a \nNo-Drop container on your cursor with no place to put it in your \ninventory, you will have a problem...\n\nAlso, right now the new scabbard is a little bugged. Right now you \nwon't be able to open the new scabbard until you camp out once after it \nis created. We're working on fixing that bug. We decided to make this \nchange even with this small bug to help relieve everyone of the \nproblems with the old scabbard.\n\nThis new scabbard will have a special ability. It will be able to \nrecreate the epic weapons if you have lost them. Simply place a Sword \nof Runes (summoned by a Magician) into the scabbard and hit the combine \nbutton. The scabbard will convert the temporary power of the Sword of \nRunes into the permanent epic sword.\n\nCustomer Service WILL NOT be replacing the old scabbards with the new \nones. That will be done by the game itself once you have completed the \nquest and combined the swords for the first time.\n\n- Changed the size of the Weighted Axe from Tiny to Large (after all, \nit's a big two-handed axe...). If you have one in a bag now, be aware \nthat it probably won't fit back into that bag again once you take it \nout.\n\n- No Rent Items will no longer be immediately deleted from your \ncharacter inventory upon disconnection with the server. If you are \ndisconnected from the servers, or even if you log out, your No Rent \nitems (such as summoned food and water) will remain on your character \nas long as you log back to that character within 30 minutes. After \nthirty minutes those No Rent items will be deleted. There may be some \nextreme cases beyond our control (such as hardware failures) where No \nRent items will not be on your character even if you log back in within \nthe 30 minute timeframe. No reimbursement will be given for No Rent \nitems lost in this manner.\n\n- Grand Master Wrist Wraps have been fixed and should now create the \n\"Pouch of Quellios\" as intended. If you have one of these items and it \nstill does not work, please contact a GM using /petition and ask them \nto switch yours for a new one.\n\n- Snow Storm Mask should now function properly.\n\n- The Ring of the Frozen Flame should now be working properly.\n\n- The slow effect on the Willsapper proc has been reduced.\n\n- The weight of Skewers has been increase to a weight of 3.\n\n- Velious Monk armor appearances have been changed. If you're wearing \nthese items, you probably already noticed this, but we thought we'd \nannounce it anyway. New textures will be showing on the Plane of Growth \ndropped armors and on the questable armors. Because the Velious \ntextures can be a strain on some systems, the textures for these new \narmors will not be loaded by default by the game. If you want to see \nthe new textures you will have to edit your EQClient.ini and change the \nline LoadArmor23=FALSE (the default) to LoadArmor23=TRUE.\n\n** Trade Skill Changes **\n\n- Bards that worship Sol Ro will now be able to wear the Imbued jewelry \nmade for their god. For those that not only sing around the campfire, \nbut sing about the campfire!\n\n- 'World' Trade Containers (those that are stationary) have been fixed. \nPreviously when a character tried to combine items in a world container \nthat did not match a recipe, the items would seem to disappear. But if \nthe character closed and reopened the container, the items were still \nin it. Those items should no longer seem to disappear.\n\n- The speed of Selo's Song of Travel, the effect of the Singing Steel \nChestplate has been increased a little.\n\n** Spell Changes **\n\n- Removed Gem component from the following spells. They will now only \nrequire the metal components. These are the Enchant spells for making \ncultural armor.\n\nEnchant Velium\nEnchant Mithril\nEnchant Adamantite\nEnchant Steel\nEnchant Brellium\n\n- Changed the spell component for the following Magician spells from \nLapis Lazuli to Malachite. They now use the same reagent as every other \nMagician pet spell.\n\nMinor Summoning: Earth \nMinor Summoning: Water \nMinor Summoning: Fire\nMinor Summoning: Air\nElemental: Earth\nElemental: Water\nElemental: Fire\nElemental: Air\n\n- Added Casting Text to the Following spells (the messages in brackets \nwill now appear upon a successful use of the spell):\n\nPanic Animal (soandso flees in a state of total panic!)\nTerrorize Animal (soandso runs away in terror!)\nRepulse Animal (soandso is utterly repulsed!)\nAcumen (soandso's eyes tingle)\n\n- Cannibalize IV now exists. This spell is now available in Velious.\n\n- Cannibalize II and III have had their effects improved. They now \nreturn more mana to the caster than they did before.\n\n** Class Specific Changes **\n\n- Monk weight allowance has been increased. Every 15 levels monks will \nget an extra 1 stone weight allowance. The post 50 weight allowance has \nalso been increased by 2 stone.\n\nLevel 15, Limit 15\nLevel 30, Limit 16\nLevel 45, Limit 17\nLevel 51, Limit 18\nLevel 55, Limit 20\nLevel 60, Limit 24\n\n- Disarmed traps will remain disarmed for a somewhat longer time than \nbefore to allow larger groups to get past the traps before they go off.","content_hash":"3a988dfa5f1e064a0c8888ed6fbc733c1739a775c4d56639c321c78818040da0","source_files":["patches-2001-1.txt","patches_1999-2008_combined.md","patches_1999-2010_combined.txt"],"source_titles":["April 17, 2001 3:00 am"],"source_url":null,"source_urls":[],"occurrence_count":3,"source_occurrences":[{"occurrence_id":"2c1ca2c13beacc7b0d471a64bbebc14dff3e04f034830d80584bf4aba741715c","filename":"patches_1999-2008_combined.md","adapter":"markdown","source_offset":164559,"item_index":null,"heading":"April 17, 2001 3:00 am","source_url":null,"source_url_raw":null,"published":null,"source_kind":"markdown","excerpt":false,"year_inferred":false},{"occurrence_id":"cf6bfb1fd3b0baa7b24fef88bd236e3c8be76bd6702371281555d6f41f4ef849","filename":"patches_1999-2010_combined.txt","adapter":"text","source_offset":170650,"item_index":null,"heading":"April 17, 2001 3:00 am","source_url":null,"source_url_raw":null,"published":null,"source_kind":"text","excerpt":false,"year_inferred":false},{"occurrence_id":"af212faecf36971d112d9cf06335352c9e0633d9bbd7c546372a66cea513e5b1","filename":"patches-2001-1.txt","adapter":"text","source_offset":45900,"item_index":null,"heading":"April 17, 2001 3:00 am","source_url":null,"source_url_raw":null,"published":null,"source_kind":"text","excerpt":false,"year_inferred":false}],"year_inferred":false,"sequence":1,"slug":"2001-04-17-1","id":"2001-04-17-1"},{"patch_date":"2001-04-04","effective_date":"2001-04-04","display_date":"April 4, 2001 3:00 am","title":"April 4, 2001 3:00 am","year":2001,"month":4,"kind":"live","era":"EverQuest Live","expansion":"The Scars of Velious","expansion_code":"the-scars-of-velious","categories":[{"slug":"bug-fixes","label":"Bug Fixes"},{"slug":"spells-aa","label":"Spells & AA"},{"slug":"items","label":"Items"},{"slug":"quests-events","label":"Quests & Events"},{"slug":"tradeskills","label":"Tradeskills"},{"slug":"ui","label":"UI"},{"slug":"servers","label":"Servers"},{"slug":"audio-graphics","label":"Audio & Graphics"},{"slug":"expansions","label":"Expansions"}],"sections":["New and Changed Features","Skill Change","Spell Changes","Bug Fix","Item Changes","Miscellaneous Items","'Combine' container changes"],"change_count":15,"word_count":619,"summary":"New and Changed Features ** Guild Message of the Day.

You \nwill have to reset the GMotD when the server comes back up.\n\n- /assist changed and improved. It should be much more reliable now. It \nalso will target whatever the assisted person has targeted. The \nassisted person does not need to have auto-attack on for /assist to \nwork.\n\n- Fixed a problem with /corpse that kept it from working on corpses \nthat were too far above or below you.\n\n** Skill Change **\n\n- Foraging changed so that if you are getting the hungry and thirsty \nmessages, your next successful forage will always be drink or food. We \nhave also decreased the chance of foraging fishing grubs a bit and \nincreased the chance that you will forage water.\n\n** Spell Changes **\n\n- Acumen now overwrites See Invisible.\n\n- Translocate now has the proper spell gem.\n\n** Bug Fix **\n\n- Fixed many crash problems for Windows 2000 users.

We have \ndecided to allow the players (or their characters) to chose whether \nthey wish to have the new helmet textures or to continue to use helmets \nthat show no graphics.\n\n- Five and ten charge versions of Potions of the Bone Field have been \nadded.\n\n- Kilva's Skin of Flame potion has been changed. It no longer has the \nsame effect as the Kilva's Blistering Flesh potion.\n\n- Removed the tinting from Dark Forge and Resonant armors. Tinting was \nnever really intended to be on those pieces and, frankly, they look \nbetter without it.\n\n** Miscellaneous Items **\n\n- Reduced the 'bottleneck' for getting Howling Stone keys by increasing \nthe availability of one of the quest items.\n\n- Erudite guards will now be much less friendly to Kobolds.\n\n- Vendors are once again selling the Coldain Tanner's Kit.\n\n** 'Combine' container changes **\n\nWe've made a change to 'combine' containers. In order to prevent people \nfrom accidentally destroying items, all containers with a 'combine' \nbutton will not combine any items that do not form a complete recipe. \nThis will be a huge boon to craftspeople all across Norrath. But this \nremoves the only drawback to using trade containers as backpacks. Their \nreduced weight and often greater carrying capacity made them more \ndesirable as bags, with the compensating risk that you might just lose \nsomething if you made a mistake.\n\nWe will be increasing the weight of portable 'combine' containers \nsomewhat. Where some of these containers weighed under 1 pound, they \nwill now weigh as much as 4 pounds for the largest sewing kit.\n\nAlong with this we are making a change to tailor made backpacks. In \ncase you didn't know, most tailor made packs have a built in weight \nreduction of 5%. We are raising that to 10%. We will also be displaying \nthe weight reduction of all containers with the information shown on a \nright click.\n\n- The EverQuest Team","content_hash":"35946da965218b2a80f1ed8d926fabc30b93c45a984bb02670087f8e74f91019","source_files":["patches-2001-1.txt","patches_1999-2008_combined.md","patches_1999-2010_combined.txt"],"source_titles":["April 4, 2001 3:00 am"],"source_url":null,"source_urls":[],"occurrence_count":3,"source_occurrences":[{"occurrence_id":"5902498b6e6ad3089a9c043101816ed95a532ff5524b3b48b86e491f82dc38cc","filename":"patches_1999-2008_combined.md","adapter":"markdown","source_offset":160115,"item_index":null,"heading":"April 4, 2001 3:00 am","source_url":null,"source_url_raw":null,"published":null,"source_kind":"markdown","excerpt":false,"year_inferred":false},{"occurrence_id":"06b1f44390ba23976cc09fd29f761f212eabb255c3e105301c6e2626eeeeb1eb","filename":"patches_1999-2010_combined.txt","adapter":"text","source_offset":166014,"item_index":null,"heading":"April 4, 2001 3:00 am","source_url":null,"source_url_raw":null,"published":null,"source_kind":"text","excerpt":false,"year_inferred":false},{"occurrence_id":"389da1f8b11ba021f1b1d2f813661d82765e6832719512a284dbd2e19b20340e","filename":"patches-2001-1.txt","adapter":"text","source_offset":41264,"item_index":null,"heading":"April 4, 2001 3:00 am","source_url":null,"source_url_raw":null,"published":null,"source_kind":"text","excerpt":false,"year_inferred":false}],"year_inferred":false,"sequence":2,"slug":"2001-04-04-2","id":"2001-04-04-2"},{"patch_date":"2001-03-06","effective_date":"2001-03-06","display_date":"March 6, 2001 3:00 am","title":"March 6, 2001 3:00 am","year":2001,"month":3,"kind":"live","era":"EverQuest Live","expansion":"The Scars of Velious","expansion_code":"the-scars-of-velious","categories":[{"slug":"bug-fixes","label":"Bug Fixes"},{"slug":"classes","label":"Classes"},{"slug":"spells-aa","label":"Spells & AA"},{"slug":"items","label":"Items"},{"slug":"zones-npcs","label":"Zones & NPCs"},{"slug":"ui","label":"UI"},{"slug":"audio-graphics","label":"Audio & Graphics"},{"slug":"expansions","label":"Expansions"}],"sections":["Patch Day","General Changes","NPC AI Adjustments","Velious Music","EQGems"],"change_count":1,"word_count":654,"summary":"Patch Day*** General Changes* -- Doubled the chance gain skill points in skills that are above 200. -- Fixed a bug that disallowed casting of the Donal's Breatplate on others once casted upon yourself. -- The spell scrolls for Grim Aura should now all reflect usability by SKs -- Fixed a bug that…","content":"***Patch Day***\n\n*General Changes*\n\n-- Doubled the chance gain skill points in skills that are above 200. \n-- Fixed a bug that disallowed casting of the Donal's Breatplate on \nothers once casted upon yourself.\n-- The spell scrolls for Grim Aura should now all reflect usability by \nSKs\n-- Fixed a bug that would allow melee players to open a spellbook via \n/book or alt+b.\n-- Merchants will now recognize Iksar as a valid race.\n-- New bind locations have been added to three zones in the world - One \non Antonica and two others on Kunark.

In addition, the following changes have \nbeen implemented on the Live servers:\n\n- High-end items that have a activatable (right-click) healing effect \nhave in several cases had their casting times increased. \n- Factions for some of the higher end encounters in Velious have \nreceived some adjustments. Basically, \"bad acts\" receive more weight \nthan \"good acts\". For instance, if \"A\" hates \"B\" and \"B\" hates \"A\", \nkilling \"A\" will hurt your faction with \"A\" more than it will help your \nfaction with \"B\".\n- The stamina reduction with \"Resurrection Effects\" has been replaced \nby a slight attack-speed debuff.\n- The Ranger's Trueshot discipline now works correctly. It was \npreviously only working versus other player characters.\n- The Shadow Knight's \"Unholy Aura\" discipline has received an \nenhancement. When in use, harmtouch resistances will be checked versus \ndisease instead of magic. In addition, harmtouch will resist in the \nsame fashion as lifetap spells, meaning that unless the creature is \nimmune to disease, you should get full damage most of the time.\n- The spell attached to the \"Fiery Defender\" can now be partially \nresisted instead of being \"all or nothing\". The net result is that the \naverage damage will be higher.\n- The Paladin \"Holy Forge\" discipline will now give paladins triple the \nnormal chance of scoring a critical hit. Each critical hit has a \npercent chance to be scored as a critical blow.\n- Added parameters to the /camp command (the command that will cause \nyou to camp out if you are already sitting). \"/camp server\" will take \nyou back to the server selection screen. \"/camp desktop\" will take you \nout to the desktop following a successful camp. Despite popular \nrequest, \"/camp spawn\" will not be implemented.\n- Walruses now indeed sound like they should.\n- Added the /chatfontsize [0 to 5] (default is 1) command. This command \nwill allow players to adjust the size of the font in the chat window.\n\n\n- The EverQuest Team","content_hash":"94388054c120281b484e17fcf96556e12576c3f7992b00787e985d10b7fba744","source_files":["patches-2000-2.txt","patches_1999-2008_combined.md","patches_1999-2010_combined.txt"],"source_titles":["December 19, 2000 3:00 am"],"source_url":null,"source_urls":[],"occurrence_count":3,"source_occurrences":[{"occurrence_id":"83ce417d86aef0d52e15e6becf1fa076b87d8c22b810445be5a27327976f27d1","filename":"patches_1999-2008_combined.md","adapter":"markdown","source_offset":117886,"item_index":null,"heading":"December 19, 2000 3:00 am","source_url":null,"source_url_raw":null,"published":null,"source_kind":"markdown","excerpt":false,"year_inferred":false},{"occurrence_id":"65002e56b41ace9cb1cf4ea0cd0e39ea8ce0a6983f13efe10cfccbc7a247d7a6","filename":"patches_1999-2010_combined.txt","adapter":"text","source_offset":122545,"item_index":null,"heading":"December 19, 2000 3:00 am","source_url":null,"source_url_raw":null,"published":null,"source_kind":"text","excerpt":false,"year_inferred":false},{"occurrence_id":"d88f96a234a695a53fa0e40001d9e6d1541b08e27887863d53ba4dc528ff2a21","filename":"patches-2000-2.txt","adapter":"text","source_offset":60869,"item_index":null,"heading":"December 19, 2000 3:00 am","source_url":null,"source_url_raw":null,"published":null,"source_kind":"text","excerpt":false,"year_inferred":false}],"year_inferred":false,"sequence":1,"slug":"2000-12-19-1","id":"2000-12-19-1"},{"patch_date":"2000-12-01","effective_date":"2000-12-01","display_date":"December 1, 2000 7:00 pm","title":"December 1, 2000 7:00 pm","year":2000,"month":12,"kind":"live","era":"EverQuest Live","expansion":"The Ruins of Kunark","expansion_code":"the-ruins-of-kunark","categories":[{"slug":"ui","label":"UI"},{"slug":"audio-graphics","label":"Audio & Graphics"}],"sections":["SBLive Soundcards and Hardware Acceleration","To do this"],"change_count":6,"word_count":169,"summary":"SBLive Soundcards and Hardware Acceleration* Due to some past problems with SBLive cards, users of those cards who called into tech support were asked to turn \"Hardware Acceleration\" down one notch in DXDIAG.

Players will now be able to further modify \nassociate factions in the appropriate direction.\n\n- Random-effects on weapons carried by pets will now behave as if the \npet is a player character rather than an NPC. The change last patch \nreduced them to a rate below player characters. As part of this patch, \ntarget-specific random effects will only work if the target is the \nintended type. For instance, a weapon that processes \"Dismiss Summoned\" \nwill only \"go off\" on a summoned NPC instead of everything. \n\n- Added some code that should address if not eliminate a problem \nreported by people whereas the client would \"freeze\" for a second or \ntwo every few minutes. For those who do not have IRQ sharing and/or \ndriver problems, this should address the issue.\n\n- Made final positive modifications to several Epic Quest rewards. \nIncluded in these changes: the SK weapon will now allow you to bash \nwhile carrying it. \n\n- Fixed a problem that gave people problems when exiting the game and \nattempting to get back in.\n\n- Added some code to address reports from people who find exiting from \nthe character-select screen back to the server-select screen rather \nslow when mip-mapping is enabled. Most of this problem is due to \nroutines in DX required to release resources consumed by mip-mapping \nand may not be addressable until the next version of DirectX is \nadopted.\n\n- Changed customizable key mappings so that the ESC key will clear the \n\"NOKEY\" setting instead of the \"Backspace\". This means that you can now \nassign \"Backspace\" to a function in game.\n\n- Corrected a sound problem that would cause certain sounds to be \nplayed \"rapid-fire\" under some circumstances. There is still a \npotential for this to happen with some other sounds that will be \naddressed in a patch in the near future.\n\n- Corrected a problem in Kedge Keep that made the top encounter more \ndifficult than intended after the server had been up for a while.\n\n- Higher level Magician, Necromancer, and Shadowknight pets now have \nthe ability to dual-wield without being handed weapons. The calculation \nused to determine whether or not this ability exists takes several \nthings into account, but for the most part 39th level and above summons \n(higher for the Shadowknight) will have this ability. It is possible \nthat you could get a \"good\" 34th level pet that will, or a \"bad\" 39th \nlevel pet that will not have this ability. \n\n- Bards of the land, hark unto me: The notes have been scribed on \ntattered parchment, two score and nine, for you they are meant. Abandon \nyour mates, though they may fume, and follow the call of the seafarer's \ntune.\n\n- The Monk's hand-to-hand skill cap has been raised to a level equal to \ntheir one-handed blunt skill.\n\nRemember! Only a few days left until the launch of EverQuest: The Scars \nof Velious.

Please refer to \nhttp://everquest.station.sony.com/f_requirements.shtml prior to \ncontacting technical support for procedures prior to contacting \ntechnical support.\n\nToday's patch also includes the new \"Sound Engine\" that we've been \nspeaking about for some time. The new sound engine supports additional \nEAX features and should address the concerns of SBLive users that have \nbeen posted in the past.\n\n*Movelog for Povar and Tarew Marr*\n\nThe /movelog window will be opened for Povar and Tarew Marr on Saturday \n11/18 and Sunday 11/19 from 6PM PST (GMT-8) to Midnight. All players \nwishing to have all of their characters moved (on a per-account basis) \nfrom those servers to the new split-server should execute \"/movelog \nyes\" during the windows.\n\nThe physical character move will take place next week on Tuesday or \nWednesday. Please check the scheduled downtime page of \nwww.everquest.com for a firm time when it is decided. Remember that \ncorpses will not follow you to the new server, so anyone deciding to \nmove will want to be sure that all corpses are looted prior to the time \nof the actual move. \n\nAs this patch features new /movelog logic to eliminate problems with \npeople being left behind, players should not count on customer-service \nintervention after the physical move if they were unable to execute the \ncommand during the window. You will need to be present and execute the \ncommand in order to move.\n\n*Spell Changes*\n\n-- Pixie Strike: Made it less resistible by reducing the secondary \nresist.\n-- Song of Twilight: Increased duration. Made less resistible by \nremoving the secondary resist. Allowed it to be cast at any time of \nday.\n-- Fixed the effect on the Necromancer Epic Quest Item. The effect was \nchecking resist on each tick instead of running full course.\n-- Increased the duration of the effect on the Enchanter Epic Quest \nItem.\n-- Fixed the \"Modulating Rod\" so that it can be used by the appropriate \nraces.\n-- Fixed the Lost Staff of the Scorned\n-- Maniacal Strength will now correctly overwrite the level 49 strength \nspell.\n-- The Death Pact and Divine Intervention spells will now stack \nappropriately with other spells that have similar effects.\n\n-- Modified the \"Jonathan's\" line of songs to remove the \"skin\" effect \nin order to allow bards to use them more effectively in combat. In \naddition, we made them \"Self Only\" spells rather than \"Single Target\" \nspells in order to allow bards to remain in combat while singing them.\n\n*General Fixes/Changes*\n\n-- Fixed a bug that caused an NPC on \"Sister's Isle\" to attack people \nwho were fighting pirates.\n-- Removed Paladins as an authorized class for piercing weapons in game \nsince they do not have the piercing skill.\n-- The \"Belt of the River\" quest should now work correctly.\n-- Fixed all known problems with the class-specific epic quests.\n-- Implemented some new race-specific quests for Iksar.\n-- Positively modified most Epic Quest Items. Please check your items \nto see your changes. Note: Not all changes will be evident by looking \nat the item.\n-- Fixed the NPC bosses in the Plane of Sky that were not dropping the \ncorrect loot.\n-- Your bread tin will now be returned when baking bread.\n-- Fixed the Wellford Fargin keyword problem in Firiona Vie.\n-- Made the \"Gravebinder\" a magic weapon.\n\n-- Repaired the Forager Bag. It was causing people to lose weight when \nplacing items in the bag. It is supposed to have a weight reduction \ncomponent, but was not supposed to cause weight loss.\n\n-- Taunt: Increased effectiveness above level 50. Previously, creatures \nabove level 50 could not be taunted by means of the taunt skill. Now, \nmost creatures below the character's level can now be successfully \ntaunted. As a note, the chance to taunt a creature above 50th level is \nsmaller than that of a creature below 50th.\n\n\n*Client Enhancements*\n\n-- You now have 10 pages of 10 hotboxes each when in full screen mode.\n-- You can now customize 10 pages of 12 socials each, increasing the \ntotal number of available socials by 108.\n-- Fixed a bug with the keyboard.txt file causing some keys to \ntranslate incorrectly.\n-- Fixed a bug that caused some window positions to save improperly at \nhigher resolutions.\n-- All key mappings are now stored in the EQCLIENT.INI file.\n\n-- Fixed all known problems with the clipping plane slider. Users \nshould now see differences for the entire range of adjustment in zones \nthat support an adjustable clipping plane.\n\n-- Players on PvP servers will no longer show \"[LD]\" over their heads \nwhen linkdead. In addition, these same players will no longer show as \n\"LinkDead\" in the /who list.\n\n-- Players can now set custom text colors while in game. /usercolor: \nUsage \"/usercolor UserColorNumber R G B\" where \"UserColorNumber is the \nnumber of the color as indicated in the EQCLIENT.INI file, and R, G, \nand B are red, green and blue respectively. All changes will be \nautomatically saved to your EQCLIENT.INI file.\n\n-- OPT files in your EverQuest directory now have a number after the \ncharacter name indicating the server number. As such, you will now be \nable to have characters of the same name on two separate servers with \ndifferent custom options.\n\n-- The eqlog.txt file now has a name that includes the server number \nand character name. For instance, if your character is named \"Bobb\", \nand you are on Server 1, your log text file name would be \neqlog_01_Bobb.txt.\n\n-- Added two new entries to the \"Defaults\" section of the EQCLIENT.INI \nfile: AttackOnAssist=TRUE|FALSE - Sets whether or not your autoattack \nturns on automatically when assisting. Defaults to \"TRUE\". \nShowInspectMessage=TRUE|FALSE - Sets whether or not you see the \n\"Soandso is inspecting you\" message. Defaults to \"TRUE\".\n\n-- Custom key mappings have been greatly enhanced. You can now set two \nkeys, a primary and an alternate, for each function in game. In \naddition, things that were previously not customizable can now be set \nto a key of your preference. Left-click on the key identifier to set \nthe primary key, right-click to set the secondary.\n\n-- Added the /note command. /note will append the following text to a \nfile called \"notes.txt\" in your EverQuest directory.

As many of you know, \nover the past couple of months we've made numerous enhancements to the \nEverQuest client. In addition to things such as new /-commands and \nother changes of that nature, we've enhanced the UI itself to allow \nmoveable and resizable windows, among other things. At the same time \nwe've been working on a brand new sound engine, and have been further \nconcentrating on optimizing and expanding the capabilities of the \nEverQuest client.\n\nFor most applications, the feature set of a version of DirectX is \nlimited to the lowest common denominator between the version that the \nsoftware is compiled under, and the version running on the client. This \nmeans that though you may be running DirectX 7.0a already, and are \nreceiving advantages associated with the more advanced code, the \nfeature-set of DirectX used when in EverQuest is limited to version \n5.2.\n\nThis limits the type and breadth of enhancements that can be made to \nthe client. Given that we feel that EverQuest players would enjoy \ncontinuing to see new enhancements for the client, we will soon begin \ncompiling the client under DirectX 7.0a, and implementing the feature-\nset available within that version. When we do this, everyone will need \nDirectX 7.0a (or higher) to play EverQuest. \n\nHere are some of the possible benefits from DirectX 7.0a:\n\n- Better performance (Graphics and Sound)\n\n- Gamma Correction working in D3D \n- Proper Mip-Mapping in D3D \n- Fixes fogging on some cards. (Some cards have no fogging at all and \nlook pretty bad) \n- Allows us to use newer interfaces to support such features as full-\nscreen anti-aliasing, and alternate Z-buffering methods, which tend to \nlook better.\n\nChanging to DX7 does have a potential downside. Those using older or \ndiscontinued video or sound cards that do not have DX7 compatible \ndrivers may need to upgrade to continue playing. However, we feel that \nthe benefits that will come from upgrading to this newer version of \nDirectX outweigh the potential problems.\n\nWe plan to begin requiring DirectX7.0a when the EverQuest client is \nnext patched, in two or three weeks. We wanted to be sure to give \neveryone enough time to check their version of DirectX and install the \nnewest version. You can run DXDIAG.EXE in your Windows\\System directory \nto check your DirectX version and get the newest version of DirectX \nfrom here if it is needed.\n\nPlease keep an eye on the patch message for further information \nregarding the planned implementation of DX7.\n\n*Epic Quests*\n\nDue to some difficulties regarding the Epic Quests implemented two \npatches ago, the epic quests for the Monk, Wizard, and Druid will not \nbe completable until the next patch. While we would like to have \nimplemented updates right away for these issues, we are mid-way in our \nconversion to support the DirectX changes that have been announced. \n\nWe appreciate your patience.\n\n- The EverQuest Team","content_hash":"9f7725f2b9af82a3a4e9c861931ac8af394a8f710a74d108d58d14a931e41090","source_files":["patches-2000-2.txt","patches_1999-2008_combined.md","patches_1999-2010_combined.txt"],"source_titles":["October 13, 2000 7:00 pm"],"source_url":null,"source_urls":[],"occurrence_count":3,"source_occurrences":[{"occurrence_id":"0befbf0c755318e04b88b96a22b7634f20f3b7c4e22add1bf555e29f7700504c","filename":"patches_1999-2008_combined.md","adapter":"markdown","source_offset":94638,"item_index":null,"heading":"October 13, 2000 7:00 pm","source_url":null,"source_url_raw":null,"published":null,"source_kind":"markdown","excerpt":false,"year_inferred":false},{"occurrence_id":"409df4c8b6fcd3b7e7e2b017a3f93b7a07e7adf2f1eba8c16fb6848d4b1211aa","filename":"patches_1999-2010_combined.txt","adapter":"text","source_offset":98190,"item_index":null,"heading":"October 13, 2000 7:00 pm","source_url":null,"source_url_raw":null,"published":null,"source_kind":"text","excerpt":false,"year_inferred":false},{"occurrence_id":"c1ab1a14b2672361d999593804b01c143695c7ee4ce498203f2d4c9f39ff0d3d","filename":"patches-2000-2.txt","adapter":"text","source_offset":36514,"item_index":null,"heading":"October 13, 2000 7:00 pm","source_url":null,"source_url_raw":null,"published":null,"source_kind":"text","excerpt":false,"year_inferred":false}],"year_inferred":false,"sequence":1,"slug":"2000-10-13-1","id":"2000-10-13-1"},{"patch_date":"2000-09-19","effective_date":"2000-09-19","display_date":"September 19, 2000 7:00 am","title":"September 19, 2000 7:00 am","year":2000,"month":9,"kind":"live","era":"EverQuest Live","expansion":"The Ruins of Kunark","expansion_code":"the-ruins-of-kunark","categories":[{"slug":"classes","label":"Classes"},{"slug":"spells-aa","label":"Spells & AA"},{"slug":"items","label":"Items"},{"slug":"quests-events","label":"Quests & Events"},{"slug":"tradeskills","label":"Tradeskills"},{"slug":"ui","label":"UI"},{"slug":"servers","label":"Servers"},{"slug":"audio-graphics","label":"Audio & Graphics"}],"sections":["Level 1 Character Purge","Patch Day","New Epic Quests","Class Issues","Rangers","Monks","Cleric","Fungal Regrowth","Attack Speed Buffs","High-Level Dungeon Balancing","Low-Delay Weapons and Damage Bonus Changes","Server Selection Screen","Custom Emotes and AFK","For instance","Skill Gain","Trade Skills Enhanced"],"change_count":10,"word_count":1047,"summary":"Level 1 Character Purge* The Level 1 character purge announced several weeks ago will take place on Wednesday, September 27, 2000, at 7:00am PST (GMT-7).

Any level 1 \ncharacters that haven't been played within the previous 30 days will be \ndeleted. If you wish to keep any level 1 characters that you may have, \nplease log in and play them between now and 9/27. \n\n***Patch Day***\n\nAs a testament to our on-going goal to constantly provide more content \nfor EverQuest players, today's patch primarily consists of *many* \ncontent-additions to the game. \n\n*New Epic Quests*\n\nWe are pleased to announce that we have implemented new \"Fiery Avenger\" \nstyle quests for every class in the game (including paladins). The \nultimate reward for each quest boasts a custom model with unique \nparticle effects. We think that you will be pleased.\n\nGood luck to everyone on your quest.\n\n*Class Issues*\n\nRangers:\n\nLast week we completed in-depth testing of melee and defensive skills \nfor all melee-centric classes. In the course of these tests we \ndetermined that the ranger class was not performing to its intended \nlevel, and have made the following changes:\n\n- The \"Jolt\" spell has had its casting time reduced.\n- The Skillcap on Dodge and Parry has been increased.\n\nMonks:\n\nHigh-level monks can now carry increased weight without penalty. The \nadditional allowance is granted at levels 55 and 60.\n\nCleric:\n\nCelestial Elixir was failing due to multi-tick cure components that are \nincompatible with that configuration. We have therefore removed the \ncure components and increased the healing provided by this spell.\n\nAfter a great deal of consideration, we have concluded that the Mark of \nKarn spell is imbalanced and requires correction. This spell's current \nfunction makes melee classes without dual-wield far less desirable \nmembers of the group. As such, the spell has had its duration \ndecreased, its recast-time increased, and its \"heal per hit\" value \ndecreased. \n\n\n*Fungal Regrowth*\n\n\"Fungal Regrowth\" is now a self-only spell. It was being used as an \noffensive spell by virtue of its \"snare\" effect upon the target. \nFurthermore, we ruled out making it \"group only\" as with other spells \nthat have this issue, due to a class-balance concern. The spell was \nreducing the group's desire for classes capable of casting regenerative \nmagic.\n\n*Attack Speed Buffs*\n\nIn this patch we corrected a bug that would cause any \"Haste\" item \ncombined with any \"Haste\" spell to automatically yield maximum haste, \nregardless of the level of \"Haste\" granted by each individual \ncomponent. This fix increases the usefulness of better \"Haste\" \nequipment and spells. The downside to this is that those who usually \nhave both items and spells active will see a reduced attack-speed \nunless outfitted with the best equipment and spells.\n\n*High-Level Dungeon Balancing*\n\nVeehshan's Peak and Sebilis have received loot adjustments in order to \naddress disparities in risk and reward. For the most part, the quality \nof the \"common\" loot in Veeshan's Peak is at least as good as the \n\"rares\" from Sebilis.\n\n*Low-Delay Weapons and Damage Bonus Changes*\n\nIn accordance with our announcement several weeks ago, two low-delay \nweapons can now only be equipped in the off-hand. Included in this \nchange are the Mosscovered Twig and the Barbed Scale Whip. The delay on \nthese weapons and the associated damage bonus to weapons in the primary \nhand made these weapons much too powerful for their availability and \nthe risk associated with their acquisition.\n\nIn addition, two-handed weapons have had their damage-bonus modified. \nThe damage-bonus for low-delay two-handed weapons (27 or below) created \na problem similar to the weapons above and has been reduced. The \ndamage-bonus has not changed for normal-delay (28-39) two-handed \nweapons. The damage bonus for high-delay two-handed weapons (40+) has \nbeen increased.\n\n\n*Server Selection Screen*\n\nIt has come to our attention that new players often think that the \nhigh-population servers are better, based upon the logic that if \neveryone else is there, it must be a good server. However, in \nMassively-Multiplayer games, less populated servers are often \nconsidered superior for gameplay. Therefore we have marked servers that \nwould benefit from new characters as preferred servers, listing them in \n\"green\" in the server selection window. The preferred servers have \npopulations such that an influx of new people would benefit the server \nrather than cause overpopulation.\n\n\n*Custom Emotes and AFK*\n\nAnimations with custom emotes have been implemented. Current canned \nemotes such as /point allow a target other than the current target to \nbe specified. That will continue to work. So if you type \"/point \nBaobob\", the usual text will come up. However, you can add custom text \nto the emote, but you must specify the target as \"say\" as the target. \nFor instance: \n\n/point say points at a gnoll, indicating that he is ready to kill it. \n\n...your character will execute the /point animation, and the text \noutput will be: \"CharacterName points at a gnoll, indicating that he is \nready to kill it.\" \n\nFinally, you can now set a custom message for when you are /AFK. Type \n\"/AFK \" (without the brackets) to set your custom AFK message. For \ninstance, if you type \"/afk Grabbing a snack\", you will reply with \n\"Grabbing a snack\" when someone sends you a /tell.\n\n*Skill Gain*\n\nThe skill-gain rate of many skills is now further modified by character \nstats. This will allow those with natural affinities towards certain \nskills to improve at a greater rate.\n\n*Trade Skills Enhanced*\n\nMany of the trade skills in game have received massive enhancements, \nincluding dozens of new craftable items, new fishing and foraging \nitems, and other things to be discovered once in game. \n\nIn addition, trade-skill specialization has been implemented. Players \nwill be able to exceed 200 points of skill in ONE of the generally \navailable tradeskills. This includes: \n\n- Baking\n- Blacksmithing\n- Brewing\n- Jewelcraft\n- Tailoring\n- Fletching\n- Pottery \n\nOnce above 200 points in one of these skills, no other skill will be \nable to exceed 200. Specialization restrictions do not include class or \nrace-specific trade skills such as Alchemy, Make Poison, and Tinkering. \nPlayers with race or class-specific trade skills will be able to exceed \n200 points of skill in that skill, PLUS any generally available trade \nskill. \n\nThe enhancement of trade skills is an on-going project. Further \nenhancements will be made in the coming weeks.\n\n- The EverQuest Team","content_hash":"7fee1c96ca64044ac52175acd44c36a1aac5ec0174ef6fdad2e2a4728b8dc40e","source_files":["patches-2000-2.txt","patches_1999-2008_combined.md","patches_1999-2010_combined.txt"],"source_titles":["September 19, 2000 7:00 am"],"source_url":null,"source_urls":[],"occurrence_count":3,"source_occurrences":[{"occurrence_id":"3226d1247d81f39e123e329cca4d5b4691b0c26019f84a25f83a3e6ac0316692","filename":"patches_1999-2008_combined.md","adapter":"markdown","source_offset":81901,"item_index":null,"heading":"September 19, 2000 7:00 am","source_url":null,"source_url_raw":null,"published":null,"source_kind":"markdown","excerpt":false,"year_inferred":false},{"occurrence_id":"31d838d01f8b85634e73bc1efd2e3a7717f10f564fb0218ce490bc257e2f7f08","filename":"patches_1999-2010_combined.txt","adapter":"text","source_offset":85193,"item_index":null,"heading":"September 19, 2000 7:00 am","source_url":null,"source_url_raw":null,"published":null,"source_kind":"text","excerpt":false,"year_inferred":false},{"occurrence_id":"9a8ba53bc60b711c535d389b3b84ddc55e3242f0f378fdf7514e635260a4cf11","filename":"patches-2000-2.txt","adapter":"text","source_offset":23517,"item_index":null,"heading":"September 19, 2000 7:00 am","source_url":null,"source_url_raw":null,"published":null,"source_kind":"text","excerpt":false,"year_inferred":false}],"year_inferred":false,"sequence":1,"slug":"2000-09-19-1","id":"2000-09-19-1"},{"patch_date":"2000-06-29","effective_date":"2000-06-29","display_date":"June 29, 2000 7:00 am","title":"June 29, 2000 7:00 am","year":2000,"month":6,"kind":"live","era":"EverQuest Live","expansion":"The Ruins of Kunark","expansion_code":"the-ruins-of-kunark","categories":[{"slug":"bug-fixes","label":"Bug Fixes"},{"slug":"classes","label":"Classes"},{"slug":"spells-aa","label":"Spells & AA"},{"slug":"items","label":"Items"},{"slug":"zones-npcs","label":"Zones & NPCs"},{"slug":"quests-events","label":"Quests & Events"},{"slug":"tradeskills","label":"Tradeskills"},{"slug":"audio-graphics","label":"Audio & Graphics"},{"slug":"expansions","label":"Expansions"}],"sections":["Patch Day","a few enhancements","Quest Fixes","Item Fixes","Miscellaneous"],"change_count":51,"word_count":677,"summary":"Patch Day*** Though today's patch is primarily comprised of fixes to various bugs that have been reported by the players, we're also pleased to announce a few enhancements: Ranger spell \"Jolt\" now has a lesser casting time.

The following changes have been implemented on the Live \nservers:\n\n*Spells/Songs*\n\n- Voltaic Draught, a high level wizard direct damage spell was \nimproperly saving versus resistance to cold. It now appropriately saves \nversus magic.\n- The higher level bard song by Brusco was improperly healing the \ntarget instead of damaging it. This has been corrected.\n\n*Items*\n\nThe Shadowknight class-specific quest armor, Darkforge armor, has had \nits weight decreased substantially.\n\nThe Runed Fighter's Staff, previously useable by Monks and Warriors, \nhas been restricted to Monks only. The statistics on this staff are \nmuch more powerful than normally allowed for warriors. This change is \nretroactive and will be reflected on items currently in inventory. \nThough we strive to avoid negatively adjusting items after they have \nbeen earned, this item presented a balance issue, making the change \nnecessary. We apologize to warriors that currently own this weapon.\n\nA data error with the Symphonic Saber, causing it to report \"Item out \nof charges\", has been corrected. Due to the dynamics of this particular \nissue, current owners will need to contact a GM to trade this item out \nfor a new, properly working version of the item.\n\nThe Burning Rapier (rogue weapon) has been enhanced. In addition to an \nincrease in statistics, it received a stronger spell effect. The \nlightsource effect on the weapon has been removed due to an aesthetic \nrogue desire to be \"sneaky\" :)\n\nThe effect on the Hangman's Noose will now work properly.\n\n*General Changes*\n\n- Some NPCs in Dalnir were casting spells much too powerful for their \nlevel. They have been adjusted.\n- Pathing information has been updated in Highkeep. NPCs and pets \nshould have a much easier time of navigating the zone.\n- Some Quest-NPCs were not spawning properly in Rathe Mountains. These \nissues have been corrected.\n- A handful of problems reported with research practice via the \nConcordance of Research have been corrected. All practice-rune recipes \nshould now work correctly.\n- Gorilla's in Burning Wood now have a new texture set that properly \nreflects their undead status.\n- Fishing should now work properly in Kunark zones.\n- /yell now reports the proper direction to people hearing the yell.\n- Corrected a bug that gave some races the impression that they were \nallowed to start their character in Cabalis. They were never actually \nallowed to create the character there, however the indication that they \ncould has been fixed.\n- Corrected sound issues that were causing some crashes to the desktop \nin certain cases.\n\nWe are in the process of patching music files (*.XMI) for zones in \nwhich music does not currently work. There are 55 small files (around \n2K each) that will be patched over the next couple of days to enable \nmusic in all of the affected zones. \n\nThe zone of Timorous Deep has been tuned and itemized. Certain aspects \nof the changes have made certain areas of the zone more dangerous, but \nthe reward should be well worth the risk. Feel free to visit this zone \nand search out its treasures at your leisure. Note: These changes went \nin on Monday.\n\nUpon investigation, we discovered a deficiency with the amount of \nexperience being rewarded in many Kunark zones (mostly dungeons). The \naffected zones have been updated, and adventurers should notice the \ngreater experience reward in return for the increased risk and \nchallenge associated with these zones.\n\n- The EverQuest Team","content_hash":"418d38d830a4896d8ec2a15999c6ee04480a132f2081efc0f7bfb7394a0eaa02","source_files":["patches-2000-1.txt","patches_1999-2008_combined.md","patches_1999-2010_combined.txt"],"source_titles":["May 25, 2000 8:00 am"],"source_url":null,"source_urls":[],"occurrence_count":3,"source_occurrences":[{"occurrence_id":"1225721cba70fc0df8ccf58089ad69ea4b3c0a6dbefb48679dc3cb2080439d10","filename":"patches_1999-2008_combined.md","adapter":"markdown","source_offset":41440,"item_index":null,"heading":"May 25, 2000 8:00 am","source_url":null,"source_url_raw":null,"published":null,"source_kind":"markdown","excerpt":false,"year_inferred":false},{"occurrence_id":"3fae4f1997eb9dc7e5c7375b95b02f138a779e3c74f701c9f6a5b5b6efd02155","filename":"patches_1999-2010_combined.txt","adapter":"text","source_offset":43437,"item_index":null,"heading":"May 25, 2000 8:00 am","source_url":null,"source_url_raw":null,"published":null,"source_kind":"text","excerpt":false,"year_inferred":false},{"occurrence_id":"694ac592b15edb5bd5314002878abf09d1ba1c5ea1096ff892b9284cdb6ef8ea","filename":"patches-2000-1.txt","adapter":"text","source_offset":40359,"item_index":null,"heading":"May 25, 2000 8:00 am","source_url":null,"source_url_raw":null,"published":null,"source_kind":"text","excerpt":false,"year_inferred":false}],"year_inferred":false,"sequence":1,"slug":"2000-05-25-1","id":"2000-05-25-1"},{"patch_date":"2000-05-16","effective_date":"2000-05-16","display_date":"May 16, 2000 10:00 am","title":"May 16, 2000 10:00 am","year":2000,"month":5,"kind":"live","era":"EverQuest Live","expansion":"The Ruins of Kunark","expansion_code":"the-ruins-of-kunark","categories":[{"slug":"bug-fixes","label":"Bug Fixes"},{"slug":"spells-aa","label":"Spells & AA"},{"slug":"items","label":"Items"},{"slug":"zones-npcs","label":"Zones & NPCs"},{"slug":"quests-events","label":"Quests & Events"},{"slug":"audio-graphics","label":"Audio & Graphics"},{"slug":"expansions","label":"Expansions"}],"sections":["Patch Day","General Changes","Item Updates"],"change_count":18,"word_count":473,"summary":"Patch Day*** General Changes* Sounds have been updated for NPCs in Kunark.

Your Iksar should no \nlonger sound like humans.\n- Dark Elven worshipers of Solusek Ro and Bristlebane will no longer be \nnatively KOS to the outpost in the Overthere. Take care that if you \nhave taken actions allowing you to be judged sufficiently by your \ndeeds, you may still find yourself KOS.\n- Increased the number of frightfingers in the Plane of Fear. \nPreviously only 3 frightfingers would pop per respawn. \n- Several problems with the guards that were buffed up last week have \nbeen addressed. Some guards that should not have been buffed have been \nfixed. In addition, due to the level of the new guards, they all gained \nthe ability to innately see-invisible. The level of those guards has \nbeen reduced so that they no longer automatically get this ability, \nmaking it a bit easier to sneak by them.\n- Many quests have been updated and/or fixed, both in terms of ease of \ncompletion and reward.\n\n*Item Updates*\n\n- Corrected a typo that had the Canyoneer's Pike marked as NO RENT, \ncausing it to disappear on logout.\n- Corrected the model for the Axe of the Iron Back. It was showing as a \n2H sword when equipped.\n- The Halcyon Broadsword was mistakenly marked as an artifact. This has \nbeen corrected.\n- Corrected item icons for various pieces of Burynai Hide Armor. It was \ndisplaying improperly in the inventory slots.\n- The Skull Mask of Innervation has been changed so that it must be \nworn to activate its effect.\n- Corrected a problem with the Scourgetail Whip whereby the damage and \ndelay figures were transposed yielding a 30 damage, 5 delay weapon. \n- The \"Illusion: Iksar\" spell scroll is now droppable/tradeable.\n- The Goblin Eye Poker now looks like a dagger instead of a small sack.\n- The Cone of Mystics, which incidentally also looked like a small \nsack, now looks as intended.\n- Corrected a typo that had the Goblin Skull Crusher's effect set to \nthe \"Lull\" spell, which is not appropriate for a melee weapon. The \n\"Lull\" effect has been replaced with an appropriate effect.\n- The Pouch of Mistletoe Powder will now impart its effect on the \ntargeted character.\n- Mosquito Wings are available in game once again.\n- Many items had incorrect usage restrictions, and have been repaired.\n\nAs always, we strive to avoid making negative changes to items that \nalready exist in game. However, there are cases where a particularly \nunbalancing error has been made, such as with the Scourgetail Whip \nmentioned above, where the item in question must be fixed in interest \nof maintaining game balance. \n\nWe will continue to repair problems, add content, and enhance gameplay \nin both Kunark and EQ proper. We appreciate everyone's support.\n\nThank you,\n\nThe EverQuest Team","content_hash":"85a1c3e9b408f61d41c4f9964a3f2102370c6bb3cd27cc054e4b5e166d2f3e42","source_files":["patches-2000-1.txt","patches_1999-2008_combined.md","patches_1999-2010_combined.txt"],"source_titles":["May 16, 2000 10:00 am"],"source_url":null,"source_urls":[],"occurrence_count":3,"source_occurrences":[{"occurrence_id":"5417ed8b30ff24cf146cb46815365e1f7c9b5b460d68b3a3fb846b368f15deb6","filename":"patches_1999-2008_combined.md","adapter":"markdown","source_offset":38574,"item_index":null,"heading":"May 16, 2000 10:00 am","source_url":null,"source_url_raw":null,"published":null,"source_kind":"markdown","excerpt":false,"year_inferred":false},{"occurrence_id":"0060ea39eef94c64a94c793dc59ea35aad8306c0f0a7da51f63a97eaed4f8dfc","filename":"patches_1999-2010_combined.txt","adapter":"text","source_offset":40503,"item_index":null,"heading":"May 16, 2000 10:00 am","source_url":null,"source_url_raw":null,"published":null,"source_kind":"text","excerpt":false,"year_inferred":false},{"occurrence_id":"114d9fae48f3f478e7a1e2d2afb5184054d36f43bc70fb4619eda9b2d24b8cbe","filename":"patches-2000-1.txt","adapter":"text","source_offset":37425,"item_index":null,"heading":"May 16, 2000 10:00 am","source_url":null,"source_url_raw":null,"published":null,"source_kind":"text","excerpt":false,"year_inferred":false}],"year_inferred":false,"sequence":1,"slug":"2000-05-16-1","id":"2000-05-16-1"},{"patch_date":"1999-11-01","effective_date":"1999-11-01","display_date":"November 1, 1999","title":"November 1, 1999","year":1999,"month":11,"kind":"live","era":"EverQuest Live","expansion":"Original EverQuest","expansion_code":"original-everquest","categories":[{"slug":"zones-npcs","label":"Zones & NPCs"},{"slug":"quests-events","label":"Quests & Events"},{"slug":"audio-graphics","label":"Audio & Graphics"},{"slug":"expansions","label":"Expansions"}],"sections":[],"change_count":2,"word_count":673,"summary":"[Kunark News Release] EVERQUEST POSITIONED TO AGAIN CONQUER ONLINE WORLD WITH EVERQUEST: THE RUINS OF KUNARK EXPANSION PACK Expansion Pack Features All-New Continent, More Than 20 New Adventure Zones and an Enhanced 3D Engine - FOSTER CITY, Calif., November 1, 1999 - 989 Studios, a Sony Computer…","content":"[Kunark News Release]\n\nEVERQUEST POSITIONED TO AGAIN CONQUER ONLINE WORLD WITH EVERQUEST: THE \nRUINS OF KUNARK EXPANSION PACK \n- Expansion Pack Features All-New Continent, More Than 20 New Adventure \nZones and an Enhanced 3D Engine -\nFOSTER CITY, Calif., November 1, 1999 -\n\n989 Studios, a Sony Computer Entertainment Group Company, announced \ntoday that its highly anticipated EverQuest®: The Ruins of Kunark™ \nexpansion pack, which is an add-on to the most successful online role \nplaying game ever released - EverQuest -will be available in March \n2000.

This will allow players with higher-end hardware to move out the distance at which the 3D world geometry is drawn into view, as well as the ability for players with lower-end hardware to pull this distance in, to further improve frame-rate. To utilize this new feature, you may do so by adjusting the clipping-plane slider bar located in the \"Options\"-\"Display\" directory, in-game. Sliding the bar left will reduce the distance at which the geometry is drawn in to view, whereas sliding the bar to the right will expand this distance. The following rules apply as to which zones the adjustable clipping-plane may be used in:\n\n- The clipping-plane can be pushed back in outdoor zones only.\n- Zones designed with heavy fog (e.g. tox, innothule, etc), the clipping-plane can only be adjusted slightly.\n\n- If the \"Misses\" chat filter is set to \"off\", Dodge, Parry, and Reposte messages will be filtered accordingly.\n\nAdditional chat filters have been added to filter out any unwanted text.\n\n*Zone Enhancements*\n\nKedge Keep has been enhanced with both new items and creatures.

This update will require a minor client-side download. The following enhancements and new features will be activated once the update is complete.\n\n*General Announcements*\n\nWe are currently in the process of finishing up final internal testing for Tallon Zek, the new PvP-Teams server. We expect that it should be coming on-line this week. Once the date nears, a better estimate on the time of launch and further information regarding the Tallon Zek server will be made available.\n\nThe Fear Plane is now on-line. However, before adventuring to the Fear Plane, we advise you to heed the following advice:\n\nTraveling the planes is not like visiting a dungeon. People die in dungeons.\n\nPeople die hard on the planes.\n\nDying on a plane means that you might die in a place where your body may be extremely hard to recover, or in an area that you have no idea how to get back to. Big, nasty monsters will jump you at inopportune times, spells may work differently and once valid tactics might go right out the window.\n\nThe planes are dangerous places to adventure, and massive player slaughter will happen on a regular basis.\n\nWe are not saying this to goad you in to going - this is an honest disclaimer. So don't say we didn't warn you.\n\n*Trade Skill Enhancements*\n\n- Baking Chocolate and Fish Head Soup now work as designed.\n\n- Pottery has been enhanced by new items that can be made through the trade skill that will help the player-driven economy. Additionally, some of the profits of other pottery made items have been adjusted to facilitate this change.\n\n- Make and apply poison is now working in the game. To apply poison a Rogue must sit and click a piercing weapon on a poison to apply it. When the Rogue attacks there is a chance the creature will become poisoned. The poison will need to be reapplied if the player changes zones.\n\n*New Features*\n\n- The ability to report player whom are harassing has been implemented. This is done by typing \"/report\" - the previous 10 lines of text will be saved to the server for Customer Support representatives to review. This command may only be performed once while on-line, you must then log out and back in to use it again.\n\n- The \"r\" key will now initiate a reply to the last player whom sent the user a tell.\n\n- The /surname command has been added, which allows a player of 20th level or greater to issue his or her character a last name.\n\n- When a player consumes alcohol, a message will be given to players within the area.\n\n*Game Play Enhancements*\n\n- If a character is knocked unconscious, and has no stamina, the player will still regain consciousness.\n\n- Players are no longer able to cast Shadowstep next to a zone point and teleport to an area past the teleport region, which is inaccessible to other characters.\n\n- If a player is too far from a corpse while attempting to perform the /loot command, a message will now be given.\n\n- If the user was under the effect of either Treeform or Minor Illusion, then had Spirit of Wolf cast on them,\nthe player would be able to move in their altered state - This is no longer possible.\n\n- If the Eye of Zomm makes contact with a zone-point, the spell will immediately wear off.\n\n- Players may now target Drakes much easier.\n\n- Several \"Safe Zones\" have been Fixed.\n\n- A number of quests have been both enhanced and added.\n\n- Helmet colors are now displayed properly on Barbarians.\n\n- If a character is blinded, the chat box will no longer flash.\n\n- If a shuriken or throwing knife is equipped, then unequipped, the weapon will no longer remain on the character model.\n\n- Monk trainers will now train Instill Doubt.\n\n*Spell Additions and Enhancements*\n\n- The Eye of Zomm now allows the caster to travel up and down.\n\n- When player dispels minor illusion, the character's weapons will no longer disappear from the character model.\n\n- Some 44th and 49th Damage spells have had slight modifications made to them:\n\n- Gasping Embrace (Enchanter) has been re-tuned in the style of other DoT spells to make it more party friendly.\n\n- Retribution (Cleric) has had a typo fixed, and does about ten percent less damage now.\n\n- Ice (Druid) has had its damage lowered by a few points to match the damage done by Starfire.\n\n- Rend (Wizard) is now available on certain Wizard vendors (lvl 49 spell)\n\n- Shock of Swords (Magician) now does more damage.\n\n- Succor's (DRUID) casting cost has been raised to match the casting cost of the Circle, Evacuate and Portal spells.\n\n- Wizard Portal and Evac spells have had their AoE radius range upped to match Druid Circle spells.\n\n- Necromancer research components that did not previously stack should now stack.\n\n- The Bug that allowed Screaming Terror to work Outdoors has been fixed.\n\n- Vampiric Curse (NECROMANCER) damage has been upped.\n\n- Share Wolf Form (DRUID) has had its Area Effect Radius reduced. This means that party members who want to be turned into wolves should stand near the caster, while those that do not should stand further away.\n\n- Hitting F1 twice, or /pet target will now target your pet.\n\n- The Duration on Pack Regeneration (DRUID) has been increased.\n\n- Shrink (SHAMAN) has been put in to the game.
