They can be found on vendors in the new Maiden's Eye.\n- Made several improvements to the logic used when entering a zone with multiple instances. See the Miscellaneous section for details.\n- Ported the servers and clients to 64 bit versions.

There is still a very small chance the group is split if a new instance spawns while the group is zoning.\n- - Teleportation spells such as Tranquility Portal will always send you to the base zone.

You can speak to Teena to get an idea of when it starts up again.\n- Fixed an issue that was causing some fabled NPCs to restore all of their health every tick. The following should no longer have this issue: The Fabled Manaetic Behemoth, The Fabled Saryrn, The Fabled Terris-Thule, and The Fabled Warlord Gintolaken. In the Plane of Time instance: The Fabled Tallon Zek, The Fabled Vallon Zek, and The Fabled Saryrn.\n- Fixed an issue with the Zlandicar Raid that could cause the dracoliches to spawn too quickly.\n- Fixed a reset issue with the Defenders of the Tomb raid that could cause the event to reset if all the drakes were killed.

Higher ranks will deal more damage and cost more mana.\n- Necromancer - The Scourge of Fates line of spells will no longer stack with itself.

The spell line no longer uses a shared timer.\n- Necromancer - Reduced the damage and mana cost for several DoT lines, including Pyre of Mori, Flashblaze, Searing Shadow, Pallid Haze, Curse of Mortality, and Swift Deconstruction. While these lines were individually not overperforming, in combination they resulted in far more damage than was healthy to allow to continue. Further changes to these or other lines may occur in the future.\n\n*** AA ***\n\n- Corrected an issue where the 'Buy All' button for Mercenary AA Abilities was not properly checking remaining points and prerequisite ranks.\n\n*** NPCs ***\n\n- A full set of Hunter achievements, including new titles and era-appropriate container rewards, have been added to the following achievement categories:\n- - Gates of Discord\n- - Omens of War\n- - Dragons of Norrath\n- - Depths of Darkhollow\n- - Prophecy of Ro\n- - The Serpent's Spine\n- - The Buried Sea\n- - Secrets of Faydwer\n- - Underfoot\n- The following Hunter achievement container rewards have had their capacity increased:\n- - Novice Dream Hunter's Satchel, from 15 to 26\n- - Adept Dream Hunter's Satchel, from 15 to 28\n- - Veteran Dream Hunter's Satchel, from 16 to 30\n- - Expert Dream Hunter's Satchel, from 16 to 32\n- - Satchel of the Dreamslayer, from 20 to 34\n- - Novice Veil Hunter's Satchel, from 16 to 30\n- - Adept Veil Hunter's Satchel, from 18 to 32\n- - Veteran Veil Hunter's Satchel, from 22 to 34\n- - Expert Veil Hunter's Satchel, from 24 to 36\n- - Satchel of the Veilslayer, from 28 to 38\n- - Adept Fear Hunter's Satchel, from 24 to 32\n- - Expert Fear Hunter's Satchel, from 28 to 34\n- - Expert Shadow Hunter's Satchel, from 30 to 36\n- - Satchel of the Fearslayer, from 32 to 40\n- All expansion achievement sub-categories have been re-ordered to be more consistent.\n- The Hunter achievement \"Hunter of Gnome Memorial Mountain\" has been moved from the Secrets of Faydwer category to The Burning Lands category as an optional component of the \"Burnslayer\" achievement.\n\n*** Miscellaneous ***\n\n- Fixed the exit from Velketor's Labyrinth in Torment of Velious to deposit folks in the Great Divide rather than Eastern Wastes.\n- Fixed a longstanding zone instability problem related to fellowship campfires.\n- Merged groups will no longer include offline members in the creation of a new group. They will need to be invited to the group again if they log back in.\n\n*** UI ***\n\n- Added in the Item Compare feature.\n- - You can now easily identify the gains and losses of equipping an item or which slot to equip it in to gain the most benefit.\n- - To use this, inspect any equippable or augment item and select the currently equipped item in the new dropdown box you want to compare to.\n- - This will allow you to see all the relevant equipment traits, stats, and effects that would be added or removed and any value differences.\n- - Your race, class, and deity must match on the item in order to compare.\n- Added two additional color options 'Item Stat Positive' and 'Item Stat Negative' which allow you to customize the colors used to display stat values in the Item Display Window.\n- Corrected an issue that allowed shared bank bags to be opened while shrouded.\n- Corrected an issue where weapon ratio would not accumulate damage correctly if the base item and an augment both had elemental or bane damage. Moved elemental damage to a secondary ratio that displays in parenthesis since it varies by NPC resistances.\n- Added a potential fix for the raid window sometimes causing the client to lock up when moving players into groups.\n- Messages about pending overflow items when logging in will now be displayed with the System Messages filter instead of showing up with Spell Failures.\n- Fixed a typo in the Server Transfer Window.\n- Corrected an issue that prevented Loot All in the Advanced Loot window from looting all.\n\n- Changed -\nEQUI_ItemDisplay.xml\nEQUI_Templates.xml\n\n*** Previously Updated ***\n\n- Extended the first phase of the anniversary events by two weeks.\n- Fixed an issue in the mission A Different Perspective that prevented the 6th step \"Unlock the way to the seventh floor\" element from completing successfully.\n- Fixed an issue that was preventing all NPCs in the Plane of Time and some NPCs in other Planes of Power zones from becoming Fabled.\n\n- The EverQuest Team","content_hash":"8ab6f7713373e6749fff2475b8ca2e97068513b762105e8a493fc72c44626096","source_files":["patches-2021-1.txt"],"source_titles":["Game Update Notes: May 19, 2021"],"source_url":null,"source_urls":[],"occurrence_count":1,"source_occurrences":[{"occurrence_id":"9c263bc3b9787f4c67f7696a21aa404d81f5bddaa832c292725bcd7ee33764c8","filename":"patches-2021-1.txt","adapter":"text","source_offset":24921,"item_index":null,"heading":"Game Update Notes: May 19, 2021","source_url":null,"source_url_raw":null,"published":null,"source_kind":"text","excerpt":false,"year_inferred":false}],"year_inferred":false,"sequence":1,"slug":"2021-05-19-1","id":"2021-05-19-1"},{"patch_date":"2021-04-21","effective_date":"2021-04-21","display_date":"Game Update Notes: April 21, 2021","title":"Game Update Notes: April 21, 2021","year":2021,"month":4,"kind":"live","era":"EverQuest Live","expansion":"Claws of Veeshan","expansion_code":"claws-of-veeshan","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":"expansions","label":"Expansions"}],"sections":["Items","Quests & Events","Spells","NPCs","Mercenaries","Collections","Progression Servers","Miscellaneous","UI"],"change_count":32,"word_count":655,"summary":"Items *** Added Incense of Tranquility to the marketplace.

See the Overseer section below.\n\n\n*** Quests & Events ***\n\n- Shared tasks will now accurately display a max duration of 24 hours rather than listing unlimited time remaining.\n- Franklin Teek remembered that there is no such thing as \"highlor\" kobolds in Norrath, and has realized that he meant \"highland\" kobolds. He apologizes to all adventurers who he confused.\n\n\n*** Spells ***\n\n- Corrected an issue that would cause the messages displayed when a spell is overwritten or wears off to either fail to display or display incorrectly.\n- Enchanter - Corrected a missing item that made level 111 animations take more melee damage than intended.\n\n\n*** AA ***\n\n- Corrected an issue that was preventing multiple Alternate Advancement Abilities from activating from a single hotkey press.\n\n\n*** NPCs ***\n\n- Lord Bergurgle is no longer susceptible to charm.\n- Fixed the models in the Misty Thicket to be more consistent with other fire beetles.\n\n\n*** Overseer ***\n\n- Fixed an issue that caused the 21st Anniversary Overseer Quest \"I Guess This is Growing Up\" to remain available after the event had ended.\n- Conversion quests no longer enforce rules for iconic Agents, meaning that you can have more than one of an iconic Agent on a single conversion quest at a time.\n- You can now start or complete conversion quests when you have hit the active or completed quest caps and they continue to not count towards these caps.\n- The DBC costs to recover an incapacitated Agent have been rebalanced. The minimum cost to recover an Agent has slightly increased while the cost to recover an Agent with a multi-day incapacitation has decreased significantly.\n- Modified how Available Agents are sorted in the Quests tab for non-conversion quests. They are now sorted by the total number of matching traits and jobs, then by job ranks, rarity, and finally name. This change will usually result in sorting Agents with the highest potential contribution ahead of the pack.\n- - Conversion Quests now sort by the total number of idle duplicates in descending order, then by name.\n- Optional quest party slots now display their required job rank.\n- Agents who offer no benefit to a quest no longer appear in the Available Agents list in the Quests tab.\n- Unavailable Agents are now sorted to the end of the Available Agents list.\n- Added a tooltip that displays an Agent's name, jobs, and traits when hovering your mouse over an Agent's minimized portrait.\n\n\n*** Progression Servers ***\n\n- Players may server transfer between progression servers that are in the same or later expansion and within the same or a less restricted ruleset. 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. This means:\n- - Characters on any progression server may transfer to live servers.\n- - Characters on Aradune, Agnarr, Coirnav, and Mangler may transfer to Phinigel.\n- - Characters on Aradune and Mangler may transfer to Selo.\n- - Characters on Aradune may transfer to Mangler or Rizlona.\n\n\n*** Miscellaneous ***\n\n- When starting a new shared task or dynamic zone, players in a group or raid will be added in order by what group they are in from 1 to 12 in the raid window, followed by ungrouped players. The raid leader will always be added first. This is to alleviate the need to remove and reinvite additional players if there isn't room for them in the instance. Within a single group, the order players are added to the instance is not necessarily what is displayed in the raid window.\n- On new characters, autosplit will now be enabled by default.\n\n\n*** UI ***\n\n- Corrected an issue that would prevent the reward selection window from displaying your pending rewards.\n- Fixed an issue where /grouproles could cause your client to crash.\n\n\n- Changed -\nEQUI_OverseerWnd.xml\n\n\n- The EverQuest Team","content_hash":"95d4cca6f3cb0a6381e7dfcffc485dd00588f25aa80caa771346cd0402237d3a","source_files":["patches-2020-2.txt"],"source_titles":["Game Update Notes: September 16, 2020"],"source_url":null,"source_urls":[],"occurrence_count":1,"source_occurrences":[{"occurrence_id":"b89413f2b3cd9b4b40b2968d67d5cb15e98d6b31d9833e6f02e8d90281c76b36","filename":"patches-2020-2.txt","adapter":"text","source_offset":13400,"item_index":null,"heading":"Game Update Notes: September 16, 2020","source_url":null,"source_url_raw":null,"published":null,"source_kind":"text","excerpt":false,"year_inferred":false}],"year_inferred":false,"sequence":1,"slug":"2020-09-16-1","id":"2020-09-16-1"},{"patch_date":"2020-08-19","effective_date":"2020-08-19","display_date":"Game Update Notes: August 19, 2020","title":"Game Update Notes: August 19, 2020","year":2020,"month":8,"kind":"live","era":"EverQuest Live","expansion":"Torment of Velious","expansion_code":"torment-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":"tradeskills","label":"Tradeskills"},{"slug":"ui","label":"UI"},{"slug":"servers","label":"Servers"},{"slug":"expansions","label":"Expansions"}],"sections":["Highlights","Items","Tradeskills","Quests & Events","Spells","AA","NPCs","Mercenaries","Overseer","Miscellaneous","UI","Previously Updated"],"change_count":46,"word_count":1047,"summary":"Highlights *** Necromancer - The critical DoT focus effects on the Necromancer epic 1.5, 2.0, and 2.5 will now begin to decay in effectiveness when casting spells above level 80.

Reduced the chance to proc slightly (from a base of 10ppm to 9ppm) and changed the heal from a recourse to a trigger cast so that it will now be able to heal you even if the stun can not land.\n- Necromancer - The Curse of Mortality line of spells no longer stacks with itself. Increased the damage dealt and mana cost.\n- Necromancer - The Swift Deconstruction line of spells no longer stacks with itself or with the Curse of Mortality line. It now deals the same amount of damage as the equivalent spell from the Curse of Mortality line, with the same efficiency. Removed the shared spell timer from the line. This spell line will no longer deal different damage to different targets. Increased the resist modifier so it lands more reliably.\n\n\n*** AA ***\n\n- Fixed an incorrectly referenced level range in the spell description for the max rank Enchanter Gracious Gift of Mana proc.\n- Added a spell description to Enchanter Reactive Rune IV through XIII and standardized the AA description at all ranks.\n- Shaman/Magician Wind of Malaise ranks 2, 3, 10, and 11 now have the same expansion and level requirements as the ranks of Malaise that unlock them.\n- Magician Companion's Fury ranks 110, 111, 112, 133, 134, 135, and 136 now require expansions that match their level requirements.\n- Fixed an issue that could cause Paladin Divine Stun and Disruptive Persecution to have no reuse timer.\n\n\n*** NPCs ***\n\n- Swarm pets should now have the correct name, even when being summoned at the same time as another.\n- Geomar Hapera in Paineel now correctly offers Parcel and Recovery services.\n\n\n*** Mercenaries ***\n\n- Corrected an issue where mercenaries sometimes displayed numbers after their name.\n\n\n*** Overseer ***\n\n- Incapacitated agents should now recover naturally more quickly, instead of idling at 0h 0m 0s.\n- Added Conflagrant Platinum as one of the rewards for the Ring of Scale tradeskill rewards.\n- Fixed an issue with the Agent Tab display when adding an agent while scrolled down.\n\n\n*** Miscellaneous ***\n\n- Corrected an issue that prevented real estate items from appearing in your Crate of Eviction after transferring servers.\n- Made further improvements to reduce lag caused by launching dynamic zones.\n- Fixed a potential client crash when adding a new item to the Advanced Loot window.\n- Fixed a potential client crash when adding an item to a player's cursor.\n- Fixed several new types of zone crashes.\n\n\n*** UI ***\n\n- Corrected an issue where spell damage was only reporting to 75 feet away.\n- Fixed an issue where the task window would sometimes display 'left over' task steps from a different task.\n- Fixed an issue that was causing erratic behavior for a raid's delegated main assists, NPC markers, and master looter after a change in raid leadership. This should fix the problem where /assist main or /assist raid would stop working as expected.\n- Fixed an issue that would cause an ornament to stick to an item if it had a reward that was claimed while the ornament was in an item. Instead, you will be unable to claim the reward until the ornament has been removed. Players with a stuck ornament will need to use an Ornamentation Stripping Tool to remove the ghost ornament from their item.\n- Moved DoT damage taken by your character from the DoTs (Others) filter to the DoTs (Yours) filter.\n- Removed voice chat integration from the game.\n\n- Changed -\nEQUI.xml\nEQUI_Animations.xml\nEQUI_DragItems.xml\nEQUI_FriendsWnd.xml\nEQUI_GroupWindow.xml\nEQUI_OptionsWindow.xml\nEQUI_PlayerWindow.xml\nEQUI_RaidWindow.xml\nEQUI_TopLevelScreens.xml\nEQUI_VoiceActionBarWnd.xml\n\n\n*** Previously Updated ***\n\n- Fixed an issue where one set of next year's collectibles were dropping from creatures in Mearatas.\n\n\n- The EverQuest Team","content_hash":"a401991af4a6dd51d585fd58b27834d1126ce73ccf8967af467e1c72a3053a91","source_files":["patches-2020-2.txt"],"source_titles":["Game Update Notes: August 19, 2020"],"source_url":null,"source_urls":[],"occurrence_count":1,"source_occurrences":[{"occurrence_id":"16b570032367aeac3ae03555788b6a81213a38a89c9eb0a8d634c5bf88ca1c51","filename":"patches-2020-2.txt","adapter":"text","source_offset":7016,"item_index":null,"heading":"Game Update Notes: August 19, 2020","source_url":null,"source_url_raw":null,"published":null,"source_kind":"text","excerpt":false,"year_inferred":false}],"year_inferred":false,"sequence":1,"slug":"2020-08-19-1","id":"2020-08-19-1"},{"patch_date":"2020-07-15","effective_date":"2020-07-15","display_date":"Game Update Notes: July 15, 2020","title":"Game Update Notes: July 15, 2020","year":2020,"month":7,"kind":"live","era":"EverQuest Live","expansion":"Torment of Velious","expansion_code":"torment-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":"tradeskills","label":"Tradeskills"},{"slug":"ui","label":"UI"},{"slug":"servers","label":"Servers"},{"slug":"expansions","label":"Expansions"}],"sections":["Highlights","Items","Tradeskills","Quests & Events","Spells","NPCs","Overseer","Progression Servers","Miscellaneous","UI"],"change_count":51,"word_count":1163,"summary":"Highlights *** Made various improvements to world performance and stability related to loading characters, real estate data, and instances.

This should help in real life when kerrans are frisking your keyboard and manage to lock the game with a secret safelock password.\n- You can no longer block, parry, dodge, or riposte an attack that would have missed.\n- Made multiple adjustments to Tribute and Guild Tribute:\n- - Merged the various \"II\" lines into their parent line as additional ranks.

You can see the luck on items by inspecting them. Items with a percentage symbol next to their luck total can have their luck increased via item fusion (hover over the percentage for more information).\n- - Many items with luck can utilize the Item Fusion Window to improve that item's luck stat. At the cost of one Crystallized Luck, this window allows you to fuse two items together (the base item and the component) to increase the luck on the base item. Fusing two items will result in the luck on the base item being increased and the component item will be destroyed. After fusing two items together, the base item will receive the higher luck of the two, plus one. For example, fusing a base item with 2 luck and a component at 4 luck will result in the base item having 5 luck.\n- - Crystallized Luck can be purchased from Noble Exchange Merchants for platinum, from Loyalty Vendors, or from the Marketplace.\n- Corrected an issue where players could equip multiple lore equipped items using bandolier.\n- Upgraded the effect of Threads of Potential and Boon of the Soother.\n\n\n*** Tradeskills ***\n\n- Doing tradeskill combines that don't require a skill will no longer proc unrelated skills or abilities.\n- Changed the name of two alchemy recipes to match the name of their products (Ward of Retribution, Wasp Swarm).\n\n\n*** Spells ***\n\n- Cleaned up messaging when an aura spell fails to hit a pet or mercenary due to being in a different environment type (such as water or lava) than the caster.\n- Aura spells that kill their targets in one tick now properly report the death.\n- Melody now skips to the next song if a recast timer hasn't elapsed, instead of interrupting the melody.\n- Modern generic proc spells on items will no longer cause odd skill increases.\n- Bard - Moved the Dirge of the Darkvine line of songs from Statistic Buffs -> Armor Class to Statistic Buffs -> Shielding since it adds shielding and not armor class. Extended the base duration to one minute as the line was originally intended to function.\n\n\n*** NPCs ***\n\n- Fixed the bug that was causing Heratius Grolden in Tenebrous Mountains to spawn when killing the placeholder trigger NPCs instead of the rare trigger NPCs.\n\n\n*** Progression Servers ***\n\n- The Agent of Change will not appear in Cazic-Thule until Planes of Power has unlocked on the server.\n\n\n*** Miscellaneous ***\n\n- Corrected an issue where an issue with one of your characters could stop you from logging into your account altogether.\n\n\n*** UI ***\n\n- Added a Faction Window that allows you to check your reaction and standing with every group in EverQuest.\n- - This new window can be accessed by clicking the EQ Button and selecting Character -> Faction Standings or by typing /faction.\n- - Hovering over a faction name or reaction entry will display your current reaction value with a group as well as the number of points needed to reach the next reaction rank.\n- - Hovering over the standing progress bar will display your current standing (how much you have done to help or hurt this group) as well as the minimum and maximum possible standing with the group.\n- Items located in your Item Overflow will now be listed in the Find Item Window.\n- Added Rampage, Wild Rampage, and Flurry tags messages to the full round of melee attacks.

Also fixed a bug that caused one too many to be needed to spawn the atrocious cactus.\n- Removed zone restrictions from all of the collect steps of Crestra's earring quests.\n- Hoshkar - Cloud of Frailty and Massive Cloud of Frailty now debuff casting speed instead of buffing it.

See Miscellaneous section for details.\n- Illusion Benefit buffs now persist through death.\n\n\n*** Items ***\n\n- Stats granted by food and drink will now obey required and recommended levels.\n- Modified the focus effects on all versions of Brell's Shawl items and augments so that their benefits will no longer be activated by triggered spells.\n- - Ex: Previously, casting Unity of the Doomscale would attempt to trigger Brell's Sacred Soothing Wave 5 times, now it will only attempt to trigger once.\n- The kick skill damage modifier has been added to appropriate bard usable items.\n- The Relife Adornment augment usable by Warriors, Rangers, and Beastlords can now be used by Bards.

Instead, they will stop moving and wait for their leader to get closer.\n- Access to Asylum of Anguish (Quest) - A Shrewd Dragorn no longer has a placeholder and is now guaranteed to spawn (in new locations) in all versions of the Dranik's Hollows instances.

However, in a few cases the information will also indicate what servers the item can be claimed on, if that item has server restrictions.\n\n\n- Changed -\nEQUI_LootSettingsWnd.xml\n\n\n*** Previously Updated ***\n\n- Classic monsters across Norrath, celebrate!

Now there will only ever be four Haulers.

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. As a minor fix, the haulers will visibly pick up their burdens rather than just making them disappear.\n- The anniversary decorations in the Plane of Knowledge will take no more than one minute to populate or depopulate when the anniversary has started or ended.\n- Demi Lich Skullcap (Quest) - It is no longer possible to have quest or dialogue interactions with Ixpacan or Harbinger Glosk related to this quest until you have handed in the Necromancer Skullcap to Ixpacan.\n- All Necromancer Skullcap (Quests) - Quest steps that require handing in a skullcap can no longer be multiquested.\n- The details and dates of many seasonal, anniversary, and other special events have been changed. See the in-game calendar for details under EQ->Alerts->Event Calendar or by using the /calendar command.\n- - Nights of the Dead events will now run for four weeks instead of two. The festivities begin two weeks earlier and end at the same time.\n- - Hardcore Heritage events have been consolidated. The newest zone runs for four weeks and the eight pre-existing Hardcore Heritage events run for two weeks in two distinct phases.\n- - Living Legacy has been consolidated into a single event.\n- - Stone Cold Summer has been consolidated into a single event.\n- - Hardcore Heritage, Brew Day, Living Legacy, Stone Cold Summer, Death Death Death!, Nights of the Dead, Raid Raid Raid!, and Bristlebane Day now end on a Tuesday instead of a Wednesday.\n- - Hardcore Heritage events now begin on June 7th.\n- Bane of Decay (Mission) - The skulls will no longer have a massive amount of hit points.\n\n\n*** Spells ***\n\n- Most lower level Druid and Shaman DoT spells now do as much or slightly more damage as the equivalent spell plus the two spells before it when the spells originally stacked. Mana costs of these spells have increased accordingly.\n- - These changes apply to the shaman Curse, Blood of Saryrn, and Breath of Ultor lines and the druid Sunscorch and Stinging Swarm lines.\n- Corrected a bug that prevented some combat abilities that trigger a short-duration buff on the caster from being usable while a discipline was running. Ex: The Monk ability 'Drunken Monkey Style' or 'Breather'.\n- The Fulmination components of Empires of Kunark Alliance spells have been adjusted to generate less aggro.\n- Monk - The Doom component of Curse of the Thirteen Fingers has been adjusted to generate less aggro.\n- Berserker - Frenzied Resolve has been changed to function as a discipline and has been renamed 'Frenzied Resolve Discipline'.\n- Necromancer - Converted Chaotic Contagion, Corruption, and Liquefaction to cast the highest ranks you know of the component spells. Ranks 2 and 3 now have higher chances to cast both DoTs in addition to the base debuffs.\n\n\n*** NPCs ***\n\n- Fixed a kobold that was spawning outside the world in Nagafen's Lair.\n- Classic monsters across Norrath, celebrate! In classic zones (Lost Dungeons of Norrath and earlier), many creatures have reverted to their classic appearance.

Swarm pets were not affected.\n\n\n*** AA ***\n\n- Abilities that reduce the reuse time of spells will now impact the reuse time when first memorizing a spell.\n- Rewrote the description for Stoicism to more clearly explain its effect.\n- Adjusted the default behavior of Doppelganger swarm pets so they will no longer spawn with more aggro than their owner when attacking a target.\n- - Swarm pets summoned by the Enchanter abilities 'Doppelganger', 'First Spire of Enchantment', 'Illusory Ally', or by the Bard ability 'Lyrical Prankster' are unchanged and will continue to act as temporary defenders.\n- Berserker - Fixed a bug with Rank 22 of Untamed Rage which caused the Azia buff to refresh itself rather than cycling through the Beza to Ena buffs before refreshing itself.\n- Monk - Increased the damage modifier of ranks 10-17 of Innate Innerflame from 52-66% to 53-70%.\n- Monk - Veteran's Wrath now offers higher returns from level 103 to 105. Note: This will cause all existing ranks of Veteran's Wrath to be refunded for monks.\n- Paladin, Shadowknight, Warrior - Reduced the base damage reduction percent of Defensive Proficiency from 30% to 20%.\n- Shadowknight - Reduced the damage modifier of rank 17 of Innate Darkblade from 120% to 100%.\n- Warrior - Reduced the damage bonus modifier of Two-Handed Proficiency from 110-120% to 80-90%.\n- Made a number of adjustments to buffs that increase the damage of critical melee attacks.\n- - A new spell effect has been implemented to grant a non-cumulative bonus to critical melee attack damage.\n- - Buffs that have been modified to use this new effect will only impart the highest bonus of all current buffs that use this new spell effect.\n- - The following abilities and buffs have been modified to use this new effect:\n- - - All - Glyph of Destruction and Glyph of the Cataclysm now grant a non-cumulative increase to all melee skills rather than a cumulative bonus to the primary weapon skills.\n- - - Bard - Thousand Blades now grants a non-cumulative increase.\n- - - Berserker - Savage Spirit now grants a non-cumulative increase to all melee skills rather than a cumulative bonus to 2-Handed weapon skills and Frenzy. 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.

Banestrike), titles, flags, alternate currency, or faction points will now be claimed automatically rather than first going into the pending reward queue.\n\n\n*** UI ***\n\n- Added chat color and filtering options for 'You can't use that command' messages.\n- Added chat color and filtering options for combat ability and AA ability reuse time messages.\n\n\n*** Previously Updated ***\n\n- On progression servers, the Tome of Spirit of Rage Discipline, Tome of Healing Will Discipline, and Tome of Stonewall Discipline will be available when Gates of Discord opens.\n- Fippy's Revenge (Group) - Removed the despawn behavior from the NPCs in the instance.\n- Tsaph's Day Off (Quest) - Due to how simple the task is, the experience and point rewards are now reduced.\n- Fippy's Revenge (Group) - Increased the number of quest drops, Qeynosian Teeth and Scalps. 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":"2017-03-15","effective_date":"2017-03-15","display_date":"Game Update Notes: March 15, 2017","title":"Game Update Notes: March 15, 2017","year":2017,"month":3,"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":"expansions","label":"Expansions"}],"sections":["Highlights","Items","Tradeskills","Quests And Events","Spells","NPCs","Progression Servers","Miscellaneous","UI","Previously Updated"],"change_count":57,"word_count":1282,"summary":"Highlights *** We’ve finished two Player Designed Missions that groups of players created with the development team during SOE Live 2014. “Fippy’s Further Revenge” and “Delving into Frostcrypt” are new tasks for the 18th Anniversary, starting Thursday, March 16, 2017.

In addition to this, explore Norrath through the anniversary quest “Tsaph’s Day Off.”\n- - There are also NEW rewards available on jubilant merchants for Commemorative Coins! Look for them in the Special Celebratory Goods section of your Find window in the Plane of Knowledge!\n\n\n*** Items ***\n\n- Corrected the spelling of Hero's Band.\n- Extruded Underfoot Diamond now stacks to 100.\n- Added Brass Resonance to Circlet of Umbra and the Invested Circlet of Umbra.\n- Corrected the description on a number of items that are no longer used in tradeskills but do not have an item conversion option.\n\n\n*** Tradeskills ***\n\n- Jewelers can now select their cutting or setting tool using the convert item button as well as their jewelry bag.\n- The tradeskill trainers in Crescent Reach will train you in their recipes if you are above the skill that the training offers.\n- The merchants in Abysmal Sea that offer free tradeskill quests will now train you in prerequisite recipes when accepting the quest, once you have earned the refinement ability for that tradeskill.\n\n\n*** Quests And Events ***\n\n- Run, You Fools! (Group) - Fixed an issue that could cause the completion of the \"By The Power of Dead Skulls\" achievement in this mission to be unreliable. It should be more reliable now. If you let Taros get the final hit on enough targets, you should get the achievement.\n- On Behest of the Emperor and Others' Things (Heroic Adventures) - These no longer share a replay timer.\n- The Prince (Raid) - Added a specific message when the Prince has become fully enraged.\n- Unstable Creation (Raid) - This no longer requires 18 players to trigger once House of Thule has been open on that server for 3 months or more.\n- The Blade of Sirrik (Quest) - The Gleaming Serrated Blade can now drop from any black reaver in the City of Mist.\n- Three new missions have been added for EverQuest's 18th Anniversary:\n- - Fippy is restless again. Find a sloshed gnoll in the Plane of Knowledge to give Fippy a hand.\n- - Help Firiona Vie stop Lanys T'Vyl's quest to dominate Norrath! Find her associate, Sionachie Heartsinger in the Plane of Knowledge.\n- - Accompany Tsaph Katta himself as he tours the many ancient spires and dragon circles of Norrath!\n- Lowered the level of the ballista in one of the Plane of Health errands to make it so they can be killed at a reasonable pace by lower level characters.\n- Wanderer Astobin in the Plane of Knowledge now offers the Spell: Instinctual Panic as one of the rewards for an Ethereal Parchment.\n- Thin Strands of Golden Silk should now drop on non-progression servers.\n- Lost Dungeons of Norrath reward points have been increased for more difficult adventure types.\n- - Kill count type adventures have not changed.\n- - Collect type adventures now reward 20% more points.\n- - Boss type adventures now reward 50% more points.\n- - Hostage rescue type adventures now reward 75% more points.\n\n\n*** Spells ***\n\n- Fixed an issue where pets summoned with certain levels of Enhanced Minion had incorrect Cloaks of Enhancement equipped:\n- - Beastlord, Magician, and Necromancer pets between level 86 and 105 with Enhanced Minion XV and XVI\n- - Beastlord, Magician, and Necromancer pets between level 81 and 85 using Enhanced Minion VII - XII\n- - Magician and Beastlord pets between level 71 and 75 using Enhanced Minion I and II\n- Druid - Reduced the efficiency of some Damage over Time spells that were combined in last month's update.\n- Druid - Lowered the damage dealt by all spells in the Chill of the Natureward line.\n- Shaman - Converted Falhotep's Malosenia and Livio's Malosenia to cast the highest rank you know of their component spells. You will now be charged the correct cost for the DoT they use. Higher ranks of these spells have lower recast times.\n- Shaman - DoT spells that were consolidated in the last update are now less efficient and will do less damage than before. They will still do substantially more damage than before they were consolidated.\n- Shaman - Corrected a problem that made Sephry's Malady (and earlier spells in the line) do less damage per tick than Breath of Hemocoraxius (and earlier spells in that line).\n\n\n*** NPCs ***\n\n- It is no longer possible to spawn infinite black reaver NPCs in City of Mist by setting up a situation where the encounter cannot spawn the unique NPC because it's already up.\n\n\n*** Progression Servers ***\n\n- Event NPCs in The Halls of Betrayal (ChardokB), The Caverns of Exile (SoldungC), The Plane of Mischief, and Veksar will be treated as bosses.\n\n\n*** Miscellaneous ***\n\n- Players can now get onto the floating ruins of Atrebe's Lab while in the non-instance version of Kor-Sha (not applicable for raids).\n- Veksar, The Halls of Betrayal (ChardokB), and The Caverns of Exile (SoldungC) now have load balancing enabled.\n- All Legacy of Ykesha zones have load balancing enabled.\n- The number of characters necessary to trigger a new load balanced zone (pickzone) has been adjusted to better reflect the amount of combatable population in each zone. In the vast majority of cases, the threshold has been lowered, meaning it will be easier to trigger the new pickzone, requiring fewer characters in a zone to do so than before the update.\n- Additionally, when a pickzone's population drops below the threshold, it may lock. Players will be alerted when a pickzone locks and will have 15 minutes to leave the zone before it closes. If players do not leave, they will get teleported to the main zone after the time expires.\n- Fixed an issue that could cause Address Book files with invalid filenames to get generated in the client directory.\n- Fixed an issue where the Looking For Players information wouldn't properly display for the guild that is looking for players. Search Guilds was unaffected and would still show the guild in the search results.\n- Changed the chat color description for 'Membership Restriction Messages' to 'System Messages' to properly reflect what they're actually used for. This aligns with the Chat Filter 'System Messages'.\n\n\n*** UI ***\n\n- Added the item overflow window available through /itemoverflow. This window will be utilized in the future.\n- Fixed a bug that could cause an item description to not properly appear for some abilities.\n- Added the ability to enable the display of timestamps in your chat windows.\n- - The display of timestamps defaults to off but can be customized per window.\n- - Available formats are hh:mm:ss, hh:mm, or mm:ss.\n- - The default color of timestamp text matches the color of the chat channel it corresponds to. This setting can be toggled, and the timestamps can instead display in a uniform custom color per window.\n- - Tell windows can also have their timestamp settings customized like normal chat windows.\n- Fixed a crash issue when a character had too many zone lockouts.\n\n\n*** Previously Updated ***\n\n- Some spells that should be available when Planes of Power opens are now available when this expansion opens on progression servers.\n- Phinigel - Fixed an issue that was causing an inability to access to Plane of Hate instance.\n\n\n- Changed -\n\nEQUI.xml\nEQUI_ItemOverflowWnd.xml\n\n\n- The EverQuest Team","content_hash":"0b14589cc7182186d8d63cc656393e4585dc9e7017a49cf059851cd98c8b4195","source_files":["patches-2017-1.txt"],"source_titles":["Game Update Notes: March 15, 2017"],"source_url":"https://forums.daybreakgames.com/eq/index.php?threads/game-update-notes-march-15-2017.238973/","source_urls":["https://forums.daybreakgames.com/eq/index.php?threads/game-update-notes-march-15-2017.238973/"],"occurrence_count":1,"source_occurrences":[{"occurrence_id":"9cef0205c3bc4c0c19bf0d8e52fcabfb883b3d7f8763f4402d182cc4ec06ba62","filename":"patches-2017-1.txt","adapter":"text","source_offset":27368,"item_index":null,"heading":"Game Update Notes: March 15, 2017","source_url":"https://forums.daybreakgames.com/eq/index.php?threads/game-update-notes-march-15-2017.238973/","source_url_raw":"https://forums.daybreakgames.com/eq/index.php?threads/game-update-notes-march-15-2017.238973/","published":null,"source_kind":"text","excerpt":false,"year_inferred":false}],"year_inferred":false,"sequence":1,"slug":"2017-03-15-1","id":"2017-03-15-1"},{"patch_date":"2017-02-21","effective_date":"2017-02-21","display_date":"Hotfix Notes: February 21, 2017","title":"February 21, 2017","year":2017,"month":2,"kind":"hotfix","era":"EverQuest Live","expansion":"Empires of Kunark","expansion_code":"empires-of-kunark","categories":[{"slug":"bug-fixes","label":"Bug Fixes"},{"slug":"spells-aa","label":"Spells & AA"},{"slug":"quests-events","label":"Quests & Events"},{"slug":"servers","label":"Servers"},{"slug":"expansions","label":"Expansions"}],"sections":["Hotfix"],"change_count":5,"word_count":112,"summary":"This happened on Tuesday, 2/21/17.

Click the convert button to turn it into a bag. This is a one-way conversion.\n\n\n*** Quests And Events ***\n\n- The Kar'Zok (Raid) - Beetles and frost spheres should no longer hang around after successfully defeating the Kar'Zok raid in Kor-Sha.

These bonus tasks are now offered by Clayton Teek in the Plane of Knowledge. You will be able to find him next to his brother Franklin Teek near the door to the Guild Lobby.\n- - Clayton Teek has the ability to directly teleport you to the quest giver of any Heroic Adventure for which you have the daily bonus task to complete.\n- - The amount of experience rewarded by the bonus tasks has been increased by an average of 300%. The bonus task now offers approximately the same amount of experience as just completing the Heroic Adventure.\n- - The bonus now additionally rewards 50% of the experience needed to complete a Mercenary AA ability point as well as approximately the same amount of matching currency of completing the Heroic Adventure.\n- - Heroic Adventures from The Darkened Sea, The Broken Mirror, and Empires of Kunark are now included in the list of possible adventures that bonuses are granted for.\n- - The bonuses for the tasks 'Into the Hills', 'Scouting Ahead', and 'Disrupting the Ritual' have been removed from the list of possible adventures that bonuses are granted for.\n- - The number of daily bonus tasks offered per day has been reduced from four to two.\n- Lost Dungeons of Norrath changes:\n- - Hostages will be less likely to be stopped by nearby monsters as they are fleeing, unless the monsters are very close by.\n- - Hostage movement speed has been increased.\n- - Hostages will not be stopped by most non-combat NPCs.\n- - The kill percentage necessary to trigger the boss in boss adventures or to allow the hostage to escape in hostage adventures has been lowered slightly.\n- - Collection adventure items will no longer be seeded on NPCs that do not leave a corpse.\n- - The \"bad luck\" item seeding script will more accurately determine the location nearest to the adventuring party when seeding an additional collection item during an adventure.\n- - The \"bad luck\" item seeding script will no longer seed additional collection items when no one is in the zone or when NPCs aren't being actively killed.\n\n\n*** Spells ***\n\n- Buffs that allow you to regain health as a percentage of your melee damage will now only heal you for attacks made on your current target.\n- - This change prevents ripostes made on creatures that aren't your current target from healing you while under the effects of abilities such as the Shadowknight AA ability Mortal Coil.\n- Druid - Increased all DoT lines in power and efficiency.

This line will now deal the same damage to all targets, but does not stack with the Blood of Saryrn line of DoTs.\n- Shaman - Removed the recast time from the Nargul's Malady line of fast DoTs. This line will now deal the same damage to all targets, but does not stack with the Breath of Ultor line of DoTs.\n- Shaman - Vengeance of Sholoth, Vengeance of Anguish, and Vengeance of Woe have been extended to four ticks rather than two.\n- Added an innate defensive effect that reduces incoming damage to all pets focused with Enhanced Minion I or higher. This effect will increase in power with greater ranks of focus.\n\n\n*** AA ***\n\n- Necromancer & Shadowknight - Fixed a bug that caused the pet feign death command to stop working consistently with the release of Empires of Kunark.\n- Beastlord - Fixed an issue with Feral Swipe that caused its accuracy bonus to function as an accuracy penalty.\n- Enchanter - Chromatic Haze and the effect of Gift of Hazy Thoughts will now increase the base damage of direct-damage spells that have a damage-over-time component; either increasing the initial direct-damage of a spell cast or increasing the base damage of the next damage-over-time tick of a qualifying spell.\n\n\n*** NPCs ***\n\n- The Emissaries of Shadowrest are retiring now that Shadowrest is no longer a repository for forgotten bodies, with one exception: the Emissary in Plane of Knowledge is still available should adventurers wish to visit Shadowrest and reminisce about the olden days.\n- A goblin in Nurga was spawning outside the world. He is now back at home.\n- Tuned down some charmed NPC combat values that were unintentionally stronger than non-charm combat values.\n\n\n*** Mercenaries ***\n\n- Mercenary equipment has been simplified and improved:\n- - All existing pieces of mercenary equipment (excluding the Vestments of the Forsaken) are now 'Faded' items that can be converted to newer equivalent level and archetype items.\n- - Vendors that sell mercenary equipment now sell the newer items.\n- - The stats for all levels of mercenary equipment have been improved significantly.\n- - There are now four archetypes of mercenary equipment corresponding to each of the four mercenary types: Defender, Soother, Assassin, and Sorcerer.\n- - Mercenary equipment slots have been changed from head, chest, primary, and secondary to ear, neck, shoulder, and waist in order to correct a bug that would cause melee DPS and tank mercenaries to become less effective when wielding primary/secondary equipment.\n- - Two new sets of mercenary equipment have been created for Empires of Kunark. One set can be purchased for Sathir Trade Gems in Lceanium while the other set can be obtained as rare drops from basepop and rare creatures.\n- Level 100+ mercenaries have had their base stats improved:\n- - Increased the total HP and evasion of tank mercenaries\n- - Increased the evasion of healer mercenaries\n- - Increased the evasion, offense, and HP of melee damage mercenaries\n- - Increased the evasion of spell damage mercenaries\n- Identified and corrected an error with melee damage mercenaries that caused them to delete their innate haste item.\n- Healer and damage caster mercenaries will now update their target when casting spells. This corrects an issue where casting target-of-target type spells would not resolve correctly when targeting a mercenary.\n- Added an innate defensive effect that reduces incoming melee damage to Journeyman mercenaries. This effect will increase in power with each tier.\n- Additional ranks of Mercenary Alternate Advancement abilities have been added for levels 101-105. Additionally, the following Mercenary Alternate Advancement abilities have been improved:\n- - Increased the effectiveness of Furious Wrath from 1% to 2% per rank\n- - Increased the effectiveness of Subtle Magic from 2% to 3% per rank\n\n\n*** Progression Servers ***\n\n- Pride of the Legion - A lower level version of Stone Seer Kaigek spawns in pre-revamp Droga and drops the Broken Medal.\n- Trooper's Pike - The froglok outlander that drops the \"Barsh\" Froglok Head has returned to the Swamp of No Hope.\n- Demi Lich Skullcap - Lowered the restrictions on the spawns needed for this quest so that it can be completed in Kunark era.\n- Small Bricks of Titanium are now available on progression servers when Velious unlocks.\n- Loren Thu'Leth's purchasable items are now restricted to the expansions in which they should be unlocked.\n- Fixed a bug where Agents of Change in pickzones would fail to send you to an instance.\n- Hateplane 2.0's Agent of Change instance will become available when LDoN unlocks on the server.\n- Bite of the Shissar items have been restricted to the unlocking of Underfoot.\n\n\n*** Miscellaneous ***\n\n- Guild Looking for Player and Player Looking for Guild should now again persist across world restarts.\n- Load balanced pickzones will now 'lock' if any two versions of a load balanced zone have a player count less than or equal to 1/3 of the zone's threshold. A locked zone will:\n- - Transfer any player corpses to the base zone and any new corpses created when you release from hover mode will get moved to the base zone immediately.\n- - Block entry and will be removed the from the /pick options.\n- - Start despawning mercenaries.\n- You will now see the mount and illusion key ring features as active immediately after purchasing, without the need to zone or relog.\n- Invalid reward sets should no longer display in your list of pending rewards.\n- Corrected some default text that contained duplicated punctuation.\n- Corrected an issue that could cause a player to get stuck in an instance if entering from a pickzone. This addresses the issue with Agents of Change in the Plane of Tranquility.\n- The Plane of Tranquility now has load balancing enabled.\n- When there is a world experience modifier in effect, experience messages will now reflect a bonus.\n\n\n*** UI ***\n\n- Adjusted the label positions in the Mercenary tab of the inventory window to be more consistent with the Stats tab.\n- - Additionally, Mercenary Armor Class and Attack will now display their component parts, and a mercenary's heroic stats are now displayed.\n- Completing certain achievements will no longer automatically generate messages if you have enabled social sharing.\n- - Enabling the ability to post a message with a screenshot to your Twitter or Facebook account will no longer result in automatically generated achievement messages.\n- - A button to quickly access the social sharing window has been added to the EQ button command list.\n- When logging on, /announce will no longer state if announce is turned on or off. It will state the status if you run the command.\n\n\n- Changed -\nEQUI_Inventory.xml\n\n\n*** Previously Updated ***\n\n- Queen Velazul Di'Zok (Raid) - The popup message for Queen Velazul Di'Zok's Doomlight ability will now take precedence over her Reflective Scales ability.\n- The first step of Drogan Toes will no longer suggest that you should get Drogan Toes from the quest giver, Vasyryx Teken'tlar.\n- Plane of Time NPCs will now use the Mitigation of the Mighty buff.\n- Tome of Deflection Discipline is restricted to the unlocking of Seeds of Destruction on all merchants.\n- The shady merchant and shady smuggler in Nadox are on vacation until Dragons of Norrath unlocks.\n- Warrior Epic 2.0 changes:\n- - A chat message will indicate when Larnik the Recluse spawns.\n- - The messages showing the direction of Larnik the Recluse will occur twice as frequently.\n- - The messages showing the direction of the Blackfall Borer will occur twice as frequently.\n- Corrected an issue that caused the tunnels to The Broodlands in Lavastorm to be blocked even after the launch of Dragons of Norrath.\n\n\n- The EverQuest Team \n\nAt the moment, the in-game patch notes are a slightly older version. This version here on the forums is the most up to date.","content_hash":"12ad29790fa179baf769d1913427256d476ae23a86ffa2b176ec4ba644f66171","source_files":["patches-2017-1.txt"],"source_titles":["Game Update Notes: February 15, 2017"],"source_url":"https://forums.daybreakgames.com/eq/index.php?threads/game-update-notes-february-15-2017.238466/","source_urls":["https://forums.daybreakgames.com/eq/index.php?threads/game-update-notes-february-15-2017.238466/"],"occurrence_count":1,"source_occurrences":[{"occurrence_id":"e792dff18ce136f4c8835374a6d13540d69cdea901faea97a5036967e364d570","filename":"patches-2017-1.txt","adapter":"text","source_offset":11380,"item_index":null,"heading":"Game Update Notes: February 15, 2017","source_url":"https://forums.daybreakgames.com/eq/index.php?threads/game-update-notes-february-15-2017.238466/","source_url_raw":"https://forums.daybreakgames.com/eq/index.php?threads/game-update-notes-february-15-2017.238466/","published":null,"source_kind":"text","excerpt":false,"year_inferred":false}],"year_inferred":false,"sequence":1,"slug":"2017-02-15-1","id":"2017-02-15-1"},{"patch_date":"2017-01-18","effective_date":"2017-01-18","display_date":"Game Update Notes: January 18, 2017","title":"Game Update Notes: January 18, 2017","year":2017,"month":1,"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":"expansions","label":"Expansions"}],"sections":["Highlights","Items","Quests And Events","Spells","AA","NPCs","Progression Servers","Miscellaneous","UI","Previously Updated"],"change_count":81,"word_count":1910,"summary":"Highlights *** Changed the display of the 'Armor Class' statistic to show its component parts: 'Mitigation' and 'Evasion': - Although the new numbers are lower, your effective Armor Class is the same.

These new numbers have always been used in combat calculations (see below for more details).\n\n\n*** Items ***\n\n- Increased the spell damage on some pieces of Selrach's armor so there is not a downgrade on the set between it and Cohort's armor.\n- Corrected the name of the focus effect on Velazul's Soulrender Breastplate to be 'Deflection Discipline Duration' rather than 'Focused Arrowrain Fury'.\n- Corrected a bug that prevented a number of Empires of Kunark items with activated spells from unlocking the correct passive Alternate Advancement ability.\n- Mana of the Sarnak Compressor is now an eight slot container, allowing it to be used as an alternative for players without skills in tradeskills.\n\n\n*** Quests And Events ***\n\n- Atrebe's Vault (Raid and Group) - It should no longer be possible for the event to spawn NPCs when the raid is not in progress, for example shortly after a success or reset.\n- Maestro of Rancor (PoP Era, Hateplaneb) (Raid) - Damaging Maestro will no longer prevent him from using his mechanics. For example, the accompanists will spawn at the organ even if he was reduced from 100% to 70% health in one tick.\n- Innoruuk (PoP Era, Hateplaneb) (Raid) - It is no longer possible to kill the large version of Innoruuk without also killing the Evangelist of Hate first. This will prevent the raid from getting into a state where the untargetable Evangelist of Hate would spawn adds indefinitely.\n- Atrebe Sathir (Raid) - Ultimate Siphon Pulse now drains mana and endurance instead of endurance and endurance.\n- The Crystal Bloom (Group) - Wary ol' Krange, wary though he may be, has returned to the Korascian Warrens.\n- Karana the Rainkeeper (Raid) - Restored a dialog that was intended to take place between Askr the Lost and Karana at the conclusion of this event.\n- Drogan Toes - The first step will no longer suggest that you should get Drogan Toes from the quest giver, Vasyryx Teken`tlar.\n- Drogan Toes - Fixed the hand-in of Drogan toes to Vasyryx in Frontier Mountains.\n- Queen Velazul Di`Zok (Raid) - Queen Velazul in the Chardok raid event will now make it very clear when she casts Reflective Scales.\n- The quest Guilds and the Guild Lobby again work correctly.\n- Faldor Hendrys has returned from an over-a-decade-long vacation and can again be found in North Qeynos.\n- Fixed some dialogue errors with Ralla Merow'shu in Chardok. She should now properly give out the quest Their Own Medicine.\n- Removed dozens of bad LDoN adventure definitions that could send you to kill a low level Miragul's Menagerie spider in a high level Balancing Chambers Takish-Hiz dungeon.\n- The brazier teleporters in Solusek Ro's Tower will no longer give a character a flag if they already have one. This should reduce lag and confusion.\n- The items necessary to spawn Captain Krasnok in Hate's Fury can now be acquired much more easily.\n- Fixed some issues with the Avatar of Wind, Avatar of Dust, Spider and 'Turkeybee' events in Plane of Air.\n- Fixed an issue that was causing the Unstable Potion in the first Kor'Sha raid to not work properly.\n\n\n*** Spells ***\n\n- Improved messaging when a spell that you have cast has been overwritten:\n- - Two new filterable chat colors have been created for beneficial and detrimental spells being overwritten.\n- - The message 'Your Spellname spell on Target has been overwritten.' replaces the message 'Your Spellname spell has worn off of Target.' when your spell is overwritten by another spell.\n- - This message will not display when a spell that you cast on yourself is overwritten by yourself.\n- Bard - Increased the damage dealt by all four 'Chant' DoT/Debuff lines of spells.\n- Bard - Added a cast time and duration to Soothing Psalm of the Sunrise so it will now work like most other songs.\n- Wizard - Corrected an issue that caused the Vortex Effect debuff triggered from the Shocking Vortex line of spells to fade earlier than intended.\n\n\n*** AA ***\n\n- Fixed a bug with rank 4 of Trophy Collector that prevented it from functioning.\n\n\n*** NPCs ***\n\n- Many of the nobles in Kael Drakkel have shed their cumbersome armor and waxed their mustaches to return to the refined appearance they had pre-2005.\n\n\n*** Progression Servers ***\n\n- Fixed issue that could cause triggered bosses in Velious raid instances to spawn on zone up. Now they should not.\n- Fixed several instances that would cause characters to be teleported to base zones instead of the instance, such as in Planes of Nightmare and Torment.\n- Respawns should no longer happen in Phinigel progression server instances, except where they are important to boss fights.\n- Vulak, Avatar of War, and Bazzt Zzzt in Phinigel progression server instances will no longer be up on zone startup and will have to be triggered using the expected method.\n- Corrected some Progression-server-only requirements for Planes of Power zones. When Planes of Power launches they will require full flagging. Once Lost Dungeons of Norrath launches they will behave as they did from the first time zone access was increased (in 2003) until we again lowered their requirements during the Dragons of Norrath era. The 85/15 rule remains unchanged for these zones.\n- - The Plane of Valor can now be entered at level 55 without other flags when Lost Dungeons of Norrath is open. This requirement lowers to level 46 when Dragons of Norrath opens.\n- - The Halls of Honor can be entered at level 63 when Lost Dungeons of Norrath is open. This will now lower to 57 when Dragons of Norrath opens. Previously neither exception would work on Progression servers.\n- - The Temple of Marr can now be entered at level 62 without other flags when Lost Dungeons of Norrath is open. This requirement now lowers to 57 when Dragons of Norrath opens. Previously there had not been an alternate level requirement for this zone on Progression servers until DoN unlocked it.\n- - Drunder, the Fortress of Zek can now be entered at level 62 without other flags when Lost Dungeons of Norrath is open. This requirement will lower to 57 when Dragons of Norrath opens.\n- - The Bastion of Thunder can now be entered at level 62 without other flags when Lost Dungeons of Norrath is open. This requirement will lower to 57 when Dragons of Norrath opens. Previously neither exception would ever take effect on Progression servers.\n- - The Tower of Solusek Ro can now be entered at level 57 when Dragons of Norrath opens. Previously there was no alternate level requirement available at any time on Progression servers.\n- - The Elemental planes (Air, Fire, Water, EarthA and EarthB) can only be entered via flag until Dragons of Norrath opens. At that point any level 60 will be able to enter these zones.\n- Many Spell Research recipes are now restricted to an expansion at least three expansions after the spell itself is available.\n\n\n*** Miscellaneous ***\n\n- Enabled the free trade ruleset for items on Brekt.\n- Enabled character transfers to Brekt, except from Firiona Vie.\n- Made an adjustment to how NPCs on flight paths animate in order to reduce unnecessary pitching as they traverse through the air.\n- Updated attack messaging for a number of NPCs races so that some creatures will 'sting, slice, maul, or claw' rather than 'hit'.\n- Fixed an issue with fear spells that would often result in a zone crash. Occurred most commonly in the Revisited Plane of Fear.\n- Made various fixes to punctuation and spelling:\n- - Added missing direct address comma to many NPC phrases.\n- - Added missing comma to set off speaker's tag for say and shout.\n- - Corrected several misspellings of Cazic-Thule.\n- - Added terminating punctuation to /yell texts.\n- Many Planes of Power zones now have load balancing enabled.\n- Addressed an issue where fellowship leaders were sometimes randomly changing when a world was restarted.\n- Addressed an issue that was causing standard guild halls to not properly spawn.\n- Fixed a typo in the faction name Drusella Sathir.\n- Mitigation armor class granted from buffs will now function the same for players, player summoned pets, and mercenaries in that it will be subject to the armor class 'soft cap'.\n- - This corrects an issue seen on the test server where player summoned pets and mercenaries had their total mitigation AC impacted by the soft cap.\n\n\n*** UI ***\n\n- Added a velocity label to the stats page of the inventory window which will display your current movement speed.\n- Adjusted the formatting of AA ability descriptions to reduce the amount of scrolling necessary to view relevant information for most abilities.\n- Changed the display of the 'Attack' statistic to show its component parts: 'Offense' and 'Accuracy':\n- - The Offense stat increases your likelihood to deal more damage when you land a melee attack and is countered by your opponent's Mitigation stat.\n- - The Accuracy stat increases your likelihood to land a hit on your opponent in melee combat and is countered by your opponent's Evasion stat.\n- Changed the display of the 'Armor Class' statistic to show its component parts: 'Mitigation' and 'Evasion':\n- - Although the new numbers are lower, your effective Armor Class is the same. These new numbers have always been used in combat calculations.\n- - The Mitigation stat increases the likelihood for you to take less damage when you are hit by a melee attack and is countered by your opponent's Offense stat.\n- - The Evasion stat increases the likelihood for you to avoid being hit by a melee attack and is countered by your opponent's Accuracy stat.\n- - Spell descriptions that report the amount of Armor Class granted by buffs should now report a more accurate value.\n- Inspecting a mount, illusion, or familiar item that triggers an additional blessing buff will now list that buff as a 'Blessing' rather than a 'Focus Effect'.\n- - Inspecting an item with an activated effect that requires you to be able to equip the item to use will display 'Can Equip' before the casting time. This label will be highlighted in red if you cannot activate the item you are inspecting.\n- Fixed an issue with the advanced loot window when looting a no drop item. This occurred only the first time after zoning when no drop confirmation was on.\n\n\n- Changed -\nEQUI_AAWindow.xml\nEQUI_Inventory.xml\n\n\n*** Previously Updated ***\n\n- Fixed an issue that was preventing the Lceanium raid from working.\n- Atrebe's Vault (Raid) - All NPCs in the event will now tether if pulled outside of the main room.\n- Queen Velazul Di`Zok (Raid) - The event cleanup on success or failure should more reliably remove all adds in the event by not spawning adds as the event is resetting.\n- The Last Grove - The Majestic Water Bucket can now be used in load balanced versions of Scorched Woods.\n- The Vex Thal instance on progression servers will again spawn the Vex Thal bosses.\n\n\n- The EverQuest Team","content_hash":"8fe707c2f7b11d2178e48a51d4e01bfe6808689b6d15196df16f11f2ea35c639","source_files":["patches-2017-1.txt"],"source_titles":["Game Update Notes: January 18, 2017"],"source_url":"https://forums.daybreakgames.com/eq/index.php?threads/game-update-notes-january-18-2017.237833/","source_urls":["https://forums.daybreakgames.com/eq/index.php?threads/game-update-notes-january-18-2017.237833/"],"occurrence_count":1,"source_occurrences":[{"occurrence_id":"0e2f2448245c28a74e016dbf02b8176cc8a8e297f04cf5f58803b51f240d5400","filename":"patches-2017-1.txt","adapter":"text","source_offset":102,"item_index":null,"heading":"Game Update Notes: January 18, 2017","source_url":"https://forums.daybreakgames.com/eq/index.php?threads/game-update-notes-january-18-2017.237833/","source_url_raw":"https://forums.daybreakgames.com/eq/index.php?threads/game-update-notes-january-18-2017.237833/","published":null,"source_kind":"text","excerpt":false,"year_inferred":false}],"year_inferred":false,"sequence":1,"slug":"2017-01-18-1","id":"2017-01-18-1"},{"patch_date":"2016-12-14","effective_date":"2016-12-14","display_date":"Game Update Notes: December 14, 2016","title":"Game Update Notes: December 14, 2016","year":2016,"month":12,"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":"expansions","label":"Expansions"}],"sections":["Highlights","Items","Tradeskills","Quests & Events","Spells","AA","NPCs","Progression Servers","Miscellaneous","UI","Previously Updated"],"change_count":56,"word_count":1231,"summary":"Highlights *** Look to the marketplace this December for the Frostfell Familiar in a Box!

Each one contains a random adoptable familiar.

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. This can also be disabled using the right click menu.\n- - The window is locked by default, preventing accidental moves.\n- - You can click on task names to pop up and hide the full quest window.\n- - In addition to \"/taskoverlay,\" you can show/hide the window using the EQ button or via a hotkey.\n- - Mouse scroll is active on the window to allow you to quickly scroll through your active and shown quests.\n- - Tasks can be shown and hidden easily using the new checkboxes in the quest window.\n- Added some options for the task overlay window:\n- - Automatically add new tasks to task overlay (defaulted to on).\n- - Show only open steps for the task (defaulted to on).\n- - Add most recent task to top (defaulted to off).\n- Added an \"Auto Leave\" toggle to the Familiars tab of the Key Rings window to make most familiars automatically leave when you are summoning a familiar or when zoning. This will not affect any buffs that a familiar will provide. Note that certain familiars will not be automatically dismissed even if this is checked (for example, the banker).\n- Fixed an issue where the pet window will show a pet's corpse name when zoning.\n- Added a new map for the Empires of Kunark, accessible through the main Atlas map under \"Empires of Kunark\".\n- - The continent of Kunark in the main Atlas map has been split up so that clicking on the top portion of the Kunark continent will bring up the old Ruins of Kunark map, while clicking on the bottom will bring up the new Empires of Kunark map.\n- - Added a new link from the Luclin Underground map to the new Empires of Kunark map.\n\n\n- Added -\nEQUI_TaskOverlayWnd.xml\n\n\n- Changed -\nEQUI.xml\nEQUI_Animations.xml\nEQUI_ItemDisplay.xml\nEQUI_KeyRingWnd.xml\nEQUI_OptionsWindow.xml\nEQUI_TaskWnd.xml\n\n\n*** Previously Updated ***\n\n- Resolved some issues with Felwithe, Nagafen's Lair, and other zones that would cause the NPCs to be the wrong size, untargetable, and other random issues.\n\n\n- The EverQuest Team","content_hash":"fba06c5db4a584de555d66ee717455ada4c204459b88471b8967b03f45d9250c","source_files":["patches-2016-2.txt"],"source_titles":["Game Update Notes: November 16, 2016"],"source_url":"https://forums.daybreakgames.com/eq/index.php?threads/game-update-notes-november-16-2016.236577/","source_urls":["https://forums.daybreakgames.com/eq/index.php?threads/game-update-notes-november-16-2016.236577/"],"occurrence_count":1,"source_occurrences":[{"occurrence_id":"42661c23f856b430c2468f81fd21c9080f327d5948ffc9b7f8bdc0f3ca669aa9","filename":"patches-2016-2.txt","adapter":"text","source_offset":61752,"item_index":null,"heading":"Game Update Notes: November 16, 2016","source_url":"https://forums.daybreakgames.com/eq/index.php?threads/game-update-notes-november-16-2016.236577/","source_url_raw":"https://forums.daybreakgames.com/eq/index.php?threads/game-update-notes-november-16-2016.236577/","published":null,"source_kind":"text","excerpt":false,"year_inferred":false}],"year_inferred":false,"sequence":1,"slug":"2016-11-16-1","id":"2016-11-16-1"},{"patch_date":"2016-10-19","effective_date":"2016-10-19","display_date":"Game Update Notes: October 19, 2016","title":"Game Update Notes: October 19, 2016","year":2016,"month":10,"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":"ui","label":"UI"},{"slug":"servers","label":"Servers"},{"slug":"audio-graphics","label":"Audio & Graphics"},{"slug":"expansions","label":"Expansions"}],"sections":["Highlights","Items","Quests & Events","Spells","NPC","Progression Servers","Miscellaneous","UI","Previously Updated"],"change_count":40,"word_count":964,"summary":"Highlights *** Modified NPC pathing logic when an NPC is in combat against a PC.

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.

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.

The increased caps and the amount of Heroic Statistics required to increase Heroic Mods beyond their initial caps can be viewed as tooltips in the Stats page of the inventory window.\n- Removed the restriction that required Secrets of Faydwer to be unlocked on the server and owned by the player in order to utilize the effects of Heroic Statistics.\n- Coinciding with the conversion of numerous 'Item Mods' to 'Heroic Mods', all items that previously had mod values that are now 'Heroic Mods' have had their values converted into Heroic Statistics. If the existing Heroic Statistic on an item was already greater than the conversion value, then it has been left unchanged. Due to the fact that each Heroic Statistic (besides Heroic Charisma) now impacts two Heroic Mods, the conversion ratio has been scaled as follows:\n- - Accuracy: 1-3 points is now 1 Heroic Dexterity, 4+ points is now 1 + total/8 rounded up.\n- - Avoidance: 1-2 points is now 1 Heroic Agility, 3+ points is now 1 + total/6 rounded up.\n- - Combat Effects: 1-2 points is now 1 Heroic Dexterity, 3+ points is now 1 + total/6 rounded up.\n- - Damage Shield: 1-3 points is now 1 Heroic Strength, 4+ points is now 3 + total/2 rounded up.\n- - Damage Shield Mitigation: 1-3 points is now 1 Heroic Strength, 4+ points is now 3 + total/2 rounded up.\n- - DoT Shielding: 1-3 points is now 1 Heroic Intelligence and/or Heroic Wisdom, 4+ points is now 3 + total/2 rounded up.\n- - Shielding: 1-3 points is now 1 Heroic Stamina, 4+ points is now 3 + total/2 rounded up.\n- - Spell Shielding: 1-3 points is now 1 Heroic Intelligence and/or Heroic Wisdom, 4+ points is now 3 + total/2 rounded up.\n- - Strikethrough: 1-3 points is now 1 Heroic Agility, 4+ points is now 3 + total/2 rounded up.\n- - Stun Resist: 1-3 points is now 1 Heroic Stamina, 4+ points is now 3 + total/2 rounded up.\n- Bottles of Replenishment and Spirit can no longer be dispelled.\n- Frozen Orb of the Fabled King can now cycle through its 5 variations using the item conversion button.\n- Stone of the Crystal Circle can now cycle through its 3 variations using the item conversion button.\n- The stats on Jenniy's Two-ton Cuirass will again give you something you can hold on to.\n- The spell descriptions for Seething Fury on the Rogue epic, Ragebringer, and Rage of Tallon on the Warrior epic, Blade of Tactics, are now correct. The attack and haste components of the buffs on these epics were moved to the items' stats long ago.\n\n\n*** Quests & Events ***\n\n- Velishan (Raid) - Velishan will now correctly cast the AE Frozen Limbs periodically while in ice form.\n- Velishan (Raid) - Velishan's Targeted AE while in ice form, Frost Shock, now has a much lower impact radius.\n- Sleeper's Tomb - This will now automatically switch to the post-awakened version after Kerafyrm has been awakened instead of requiring developer intervention.\n- Brew Day - Corrected a scheduling error that turned Brew Day into Brew Year.\n\n\n*** Spells ***\n\n- Enchanter - The Mind Shatter line will now return mana at a lower rate. It will still return more mana than it did before damage was increased.\n- Enchanter - Added hate modifiers to the Mind Shatter, Strangle, and Baffling Constriction lines so they generate less hate when they land.\n- Ranger - Increased damage and efficiency of the Locust Swarm line of DoTs, but one character will no longer be able to stack multiple spells from the same line on the same target.\n- Ranger - Added a negative hate modifier to the Locust Swarm line of DoTs so it will not generate as much extra hatred as the increased damage would otherwise cause.\n- Ranger - Renamed Cloud of Wasps to Wasp Swarm and Horde of Hornets to Hornet Swarm so that those two spell names now fit better in their line.\n\n\n*** NPC ***\n\n- NPCs handle snare immunity and root immunity independently now. The message displayed when a snare or root spell fails to land on an NPC due to their immunity will indicate this.\n- Gargoyles across Norrath, celebrate by flapping your granite wings! In classic zones, Gargoyles have reverted to their classic appearance.\n\n\n*** AA ***\n\n- Druid & Shaman - Reduced the success rate of Covenant of Spirit.\n- Multiple - Reduced the effectiveness of Staff Block for Enchanters, Magicians, Monks, Necromancers, and Wizards.\n- Pet Users -

Reduced the expansion requirements on ranks 2 and 3 of Life Burn to better align with the consolidation.\n- Necromancer - Refunded Quickened Death Bloom as it did not function in its current form and added 4 additional ranks to Death Bloom and Death Blossom to correctly shorten the cast time of these abilities.\n- Paladin -

Renamed the ability 'Fervent Blessing' to 'Hastened Lay on Hands'.\n- Paladin - Renamed the ability 'Hastened Piety' to 'Hastened Hand of Piety'.\n- Paladin - Renamed the ability 'Rush to Judgment' to 'Hastened Divine Stun'.\n- Ranger -

The item and its attached augmentation will be parceled back to the sender in these situations.\n- Vander's Bane can now summon imps at full power every four seconds.

Make sure to enable post effects if you wish to see this visual warning.\n- Anashti Sul, Damsel of Decay (Raid) - The Tendrils of Pestilence hazards will despawn after a few minutes.\n- Anashti Sul, Damsel of Decay (Raid) - *Entering* the Tendrils of Pestilence aura will no longer result in damage, though standing in one still will. This should prevent being struck by the Tendrils of Pestilence multiple times within the same second.\n- Anashti Sul, Lady of Life (Raid) - Curse of Health will now block the effects of most healing spells triggered by passive AA abilities. This applies to: Recourse of Life, Healing Light, Cascading Theft of Life, Tunare's Grace, and Vehement Recompense.\n- Wither and Decay (Raid) - The titular bosses, Wither and Decay, have had their health lowered by 10%.\n\n\n*** Spells ***\n\n- Added special messaging so that spells which fail due to a caster or target requirement check will now tell you why in most cases.\n- Enchanter - The Mind Shatter line of DoTs has been increased in power and efficiency.

This should prevent the wandering NPCs from all piling up in a bad location.\n- Derakor the Vindicator is no longer visiting Skyshrine on progression servers. This guy no longer thinks he owns the place.\n- The classic version of Plane of Mischief has been repopulated by many inhabitants that had previously gone missing.\n- Nortlav the Scalekeeper can be found in the Hole once Velious has been unlocked. He uses the Velious version of Mitigation of the Mighty.\n- Buffed bosses that use spells now have an aura that applies the Presence of the Mighty effect. Presence of the Mighty increases damage from spells. The damage increase from their spells should roughly match the increase from their melee max hit.\n- All buffed bosses will regenerate less health in combat.\n- Velious era buffed bosses will mitigate less incoming damage.\n- The object from Skyshrine that leads to Cobalt Scar will now display a message if you attempt to use it and do not have the key.\n\n\n*** Collections ***\n\n- Moved an inaccessible collection location in Fate Rewards the Bold.\n\n\n*** Miscellaneous ***\n\n- Hot Zones now randomly rotate between three possible zones for each level range and are currently set to rotate every 3 months. Talk to Franklin Teek in the Plane of Knowledge to find your Hot Zone and earn bonus loot and experience!\n- A number of adjustments have been made to the Alcohol Tolerance skill:\n- - A higher Alcohol Tolerance skill will now have a bigger impact on how intoxicating a drink will be.\n- - A higher Alcohol Tolerance skill will now result in a quicker recovery from the effects of intoxicating drinks or spells.\n- - Alcoholic drinks now have varying degrees of potency that can be viewed when inspecting an item.\n- In the spirit of the anniversary we've applied a bit of polish to the merchant/banker theme music.\n- Group chat, raid chat, and fellowship chat messages are now queued for display while zoning similar to tell messages and guild chat.\n- Reduced the rate that NPCs hit by melee combat will emit sound.\n- Adjusted the animation system so that attack animations take priority over taking damage animations.\n- Improved the message displayed to group and raid leaders when a member of their party requests an instance while a member of that party already belongs to an instance.\n- Corrected an issue where buffs that have an endurance upkeep cost but are not a combat ability would not fade when the caster ran out of endurance.\n- Many Luclin zones will spin up new instanced versions when they are populated by enough adventurers.\n- Velious zones with open raids no longer have a maximum player limitation.\n- Temple of Veeshan will no longer load balance.\n- Removed the embedded Legends of Norrath (LoN) client from the EverQuest client.

Please note that if you have pending rewards over the cap, it will still show the rewards window regardless of the setting.\n- Added a 'Clear Note' button to the Parcels window.\n- Added an option to the 'General' tab to control whether or not to randomize the selection of the loading screen music.

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.

It has been moved closer.\n- Deadline - The enemies will no longer be aggressive to people way, way out of their line of sight.\n- To The Brave, Go The Spoils! - Fixed a locked door in one of the adventures that prevented completion of the task.\n- High Bokon Boromas (Raid) - This raid is now more challenging.\n- High Bokon Boromas (Raid) - The raid achievements now spell High Bokon Boromas's name correctly.\n- High Bokon Boromas (Raid) - It is now possible to get the A Quick Death is a Good Death achievement.\n- High Bokon Boromas (Raid) - The raid messages will now be broadcast zonewide.\n- All Heroic Adventures in TBM that scale now have experience and coin rewards attached.

Combining the appropriate items from Anashti Sul will result in something wonderful!\n- Corrected augmentations with recommended level 110 to recommended level 105.\n- Corrected the augment slots for all TBM bows, shields and caster 2-hand weapons.\n- All type 5, 7, and 9 augs should now fit properly where they belong.\n- Added stats to the Emblem of Antipathy, Mottled Gorgon Feather, Revolting Thought Spur, Mark of Unfeeling Flesh, Phased Distillate of Intolerance, and the Pupil of Stolen Light.\n- Players without the Darkened Sea expansion and The Broken Mirror expansion should now again be able to receive stat buffs on their mounts/illusions, if the item has an associated stat buff.\n- Fixed flagging on TBM items that were not able to be traded on Firiona Vie.\n- Two new sets of Frostfell-themed Hero's Forge armor are now available!

However, you must still be on the task and at least on the step to kill him in order to use the item.\n- Grubbonion's Locked Tower - The optional step is truly optional this time. We swear. Healing Ward and Decay Spike items should both work properly whether the optional step is completed or not. Added a small reward for completing this step.\n- The creatures inhabiting the Crypt of Sul during the Into the Temple adventure are no longer friendly.\n- Reduced the cooldown on the Shard of Healing used in the quest The Lost Lexicon Explorers Expedition.\n- After Depths of Darkhollow has unlocked on a server, the Qinimi court event can be requested with 1 player.\n- Fixed an issue that prevented some rewards, like keys, from being given for Plane of Health raids.\n- Added a corpse and PC location reset for Plane of Health and Sul Vius: Demiplane of Life raids.\n- Bhaly Adan now has the proper chance to show up in the Bane of Decay adventure.\n- In the Sul Vius: Demiplane of Decay raid as well as the group mission version, Anashti Sul, Damsel of Decay is less likely to get into a position where she is out of line of sight after teleporting between floors.\n- Killing rares in the Plane of Fear: Revisited will no longer give credit for killing Maestro and Innoruuk in Plane of Hate: Revisited.\n- Corrected a bug that prevented achievement credit being applied for killing bosses in The Broken Mirror raid zone Plane of Fear.\n- Fixed a zone crash because NPCs don't have chat filters and can't filter their chat. This was causing The Triunity in the Sepulcher Event 5 to crash the zone.\n\n\n*** Spells ***\n\n- Modulation and cannibalization spells can no longer be cast if the damage dealt by the spell is greater than your maximum health. This functionality previously only applied to the items Summoned: Modulating Rod and Rod of Mystical Transvergence.\n\n\n*** Mercenaries ***\n\n- Removed Woeful mercenaries from the tab-target list.\n\n\n*** Achievements ***\n\n- Hunter of the Plane of Hate and Hunter of the Plane of Fear achievements now have half as many \"the\".\n- Corrected text error in the descriptions for the Defenders of the Faith and Bane of Decay Toughness and Time Trial achievement descriptions.\n- Removed all achievements related to Bard's Casting Proficiency as they were all redundant with reaching level 10.\n\n\n*** NPC ***\n\n- In the Plane of Fear: Revisited, the lockouts for nightmares and thought bleeders are no longer reversed. Previously, having a lockout for thought bleeders would prevent nightmares from spawning, and vice versa.\n- Several boss NPCs in Argin-Hiz and Arx Mentis now summon: Arc Facultas Ingens, Efreeti Lord Aresh, High Keeper Arieal, High Keeper Jahar, Mayor Livio, Praetor Captain Tita Aragus, Principal Quastori Numicia, Arc Auctus Ingens, Calix Quirinus, Lanys T`Vyl, Principal Indagator Gordianus, a keeper of the flame, and a libre vitala.\n- Lord of Ire has returned from his vacation and can be found in the Plane of Hate: Revisited.\n- Adjusted how NPCs choose a melee target in relation to player pets:\n- - It is now possible for a pet to be the target of an NPC's melee attacks if it has the highest aggro with other players in range.\n- - This behavior can be adjusted on a per NPC basis and will currently be disabled for all current and previous raid difficulty NPCs.\n- - It is additionally possible for some NPCs to ignore the hatred generated by pets and instead attribute a portion of that hatred toward the owner. This behavior will be in play on raid targets on progression servers.\n- Adjusted how NPCs choose a melee target when they are rooted: NPCs will now choose to hit the target that they hate the most that is within melee range. Previously NPCs would simply hit the nearest hated target.\n\n\n*** AA ***\n\n- Monk - Corrected an issue that caused all three ranks of Thunderfoot to trigger 6% of the time rather than 6, 9, and 12% of the time.\n- Updated the description on all ranks of Companion's Wrath to clarify the functionality of the ability.\n- Shaman - Corrected a bug with rank 11 of Group Pact of the Wolf that prevented it from extending the duration of the ability as expected.\n- Shaman - Corrected the target type of Wind of Pathosis so that it will properly function when triggered by Wind of Malosinete.\n- Druid - Added a spell landed message to all ranks of Spirit of the Black Wolf.\n\n\n*** Progression Servers ***\n\n- Made further adjustments to the power curve of pets prior to the release of the Shadows of Luclin expansion.\n- Restricted the creation of Gnome Paladins and Shadowknights and Halfling Paladins and Rangers to Luclin so that their availability matches the availability of their guildmasters and supporting vendors. Any existing characters with this combination will be unaffected.\n- Crusaders of Greenmist - The Goblin Penmaster and Enslaved Iksar now spawn in the Frontier Mountains on Progression Servers.\n\n\n*** Collections ***\n\n- The Shard of Cabilisian Diamond should now show up in the Crypt of Sul.\n\n\n*** Miscellaneous ***\n\n- Corrected an issue where the message that reports what zone the guildhall teleportation device is set to was not displaying when zoning into neighborhood guildhalls.\n- Applying the heroic character upgrade to an existing character will no longer reset your casting specialization skills.\n- Look to the marketplace this December! From the makers of Cat in the Bag comes Dog in a Crate. Each crate contains a random adoptable dog familiar. Trade them to your friends or collect them all yourself.

This should result in damage bonus values that are more in line with the old formula for older items.\n\n\n*** Spells ***\n\n- Fixed a bug that caused spells with a recourse component to cause triggered spells to hit the caster rather than the caster's target. This is most notable in the case where the wizard claw line of spells would cause effects such as Pyromancy to harm the wizard rather than the wizard's target.\n- Bard - Corrected an issue with a number of spells that were not behaving as intended. A notable example of the fix is that Selo's Kick will once again be usable while under the effects of Frenzied Kicks.\n\n\n*** AA ***\n\n- Beastlord - Made rank 2 of Shrink available to Beastlords.\n- Cleric - Bestow Divine Aura has been renamed Bestow Divine Aura Azia and Cascading Divine Aura has been renamed Bestow Divine Aura Beza to simplify the categorization of the abilities.\n- Cleric - Adjusted ranks 10-12 of Ward of Purity so that these abilities provide an improvement over rank 9.\n- Shaman - Restored the missing rank 2 of Shrink.\n- Warrior - Quickened Howl of the Warlord has been fixed to correctly apply its spell haste to all ranks of Howl of the Warlord.\n- Warrior - Ranks 2 and 3 of Merciless Blade have been fixed to function on 2-handed slashing weapons. Previously it would only function on 2-handed blunt and 2-handed piercing weapons. Renamed this ability to Merciless Grip to better reflect its ability to increase the damage of all 2-handed weapon types and updated the description.\n- Warrior - Corrected a bug with Combatant's Pact that prevented it from having any effect and updated its description. It will now increase the amount of health healed by promised heal triggers.\n- Warrior - Updated Hastened Unbroken Attention to also function on the level 102 skill Unflinching Attention.\n- Wizard - Changed the way Frenzied and Sustained Devastation consume limited use charges. Charges will now be consumed based on the number of spells cast and not the number of targets hit. This corrects an issue where spells that hit multiple targets would consume as many charges as there were targets hit by the single spell.\n- Wizard - Spells that meet the Frenzied and Sustained Devastation focus criteria that are triggered from twincast or from spell triggers (such as the second spell from Ethereal Weave) will consume a limited use charge.\n- Wizard - Removed the mana preservation suppression component from all ranks of Frenzied Devastation and Sustained Devastation.\n\n\n*** Progression Servers ***\n\n- Items introduced with the 2003 revamp of Veeshan's Peak will no longer drop on Progression Servers until Legacy of Ykesha has unlocked.\n\n\n- The EverQuest Team","content_hash":"cdcf0f98be5a1df1eb3c13013760df3fe453bd1dfbd5f8f3549cf7c17967b2c9","source_files":["patches-2015-2.txt"],"source_titles":["Game Update Notes: September 24, 2015"],"source_url":"https://forums.daybreakgames.com/eq/index.php?threads/game-update-notes-september-24-2015.226826/","source_urls":["https://forums.daybreakgames.com/eq/index.php?threads/game-update-notes-september-24-2015.226826/"],"occurrence_count":1,"source_occurrences":[{"occurrence_id":"1c435bd85f799420cb18d6162f6438f44c4ace511c354d5cf57b8c95963c2f84","filename":"patches-2015-2.txt","adapter":"text","source_offset":46732,"item_index":null,"heading":"Game Update Notes: September 24, 2015","source_url":"https://forums.daybreakgames.com/eq/index.php?threads/game-update-notes-september-24-2015.226826/","source_url_raw":"https://forums.daybreakgames.com/eq/index.php?threads/game-update-notes-september-24-2015.226826/","published":null,"source_kind":"text","excerpt":false,"year_inferred":false}],"year_inferred":false,"sequence":1,"slug":"2015-09-24-1","id":"2015-09-24-1"},{"patch_date":"2015-09-23","effective_date":"2015-09-23","display_date":"Game Update Notes: September 23, 2015","title":"Game Update Notes: September 23, 2015","year":2015,"month":9,"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":"expansions","label":"Expansions"}],"sections":["Highlights","Items","Quests & Events","Spells","NPC","AA","Progression Servers","Miscellaneous","UI","Previously Updated"],"change_count":136,"word_count":4052,"summary":"Highlights *** Modified the way that a weapons damage bonus is calculated.

This should result in increased weapon damage bonuses, especially for two-handed weapons.\n- Most clickable buff items will now grant you a passive AA ability with a permanent effect! See the Items section for details.\n- Look out for new Nights of the Dead items available in the Marketplace, beginning October first!\n- Made several changes to the way Fading Memories and other escape abilities work. Please see the AA section for details.\n\n\n*** Items ***\n\n- Keep an eye on the Marketplace starting in October for new and returning Nights of the Dead items! You'll be delighted to find sinister mounts like the Dark Direhound, horrifying weapon visuals like the Nightmare ornaments, fiendish familiars like the Cat in a Bag, Player Studio offerings, and much much more!\n- Updated the way that the alternate advancement ability Sinister Strikes functions. The ability now grants weapons wielded in your offhand a percentage of your weapons damage bonus. This change allows the ability to grant an effect for weapons with a delay lower than 30 and will better scale to higher damage weapons.\n- Fixed an issue that would cause items to be deleted if you tried to send them to a player that doesn't exist.\n- The server is no longer alcohol powered and no longer requires a sacrifice of an alcoholic beverage when you drink an alcoholic beverage.\n- Changed the following buff lines that result from activating items so that their effects grant the bearer passive AA abilities: Ancestral Memories, Aura of Battle, Breath of Atathus, Expanding Mind, Form of Defense, Form of Endurance, Form of Protection, Form of Rejuvenation, Grim Aura, Knowledge of the Past / Soothing Breath, Might of Stone, Myrmidons Skill, and Prismatic Ward.\n- - Activating an item with one of these spells grants you a passive AA ability at a rank that matches the power of the buff. (Activating an item with a weaker buff will not lower your passive AA ability rank.)\n- - Activating an item with one of these spells now casts a shadow spell named for the buff line. These shadow spells have no effects but are permanent duration and are intended to allow you to retain the use of these items as a means to reduce the impact of incoming dispel attacks.\n- - When you are granted a rank of one of these passive AA abilities you are now also granted an activated ability called Item: Disable Item Abilities. This ability will clear all of your item-granted abilities and allow you to start fresh.\n- Extended the spell durations of the following item buff lines: Aura of the Void, Essence of Ruaabri, Gnoll Reaver Fortitude, Gunthak Grit / Fortitude, Illusionary Spikes, and Thorny Shield. They all have a permanent duration and persist through death.\n- Fixed a problem that could cause some items to be lost when unpacking a suit of Hero's Forge armor.\n\n\n*** Quests & Events ***\n\n- Look to the marketplace this October for the Cat in a Bag. Each one contains a random adoptable cat familiar. Trade them to your friends or collect them all yourself, and keep an eye out for the easily terrified Scaredy Cat familiar and always agitated Cranky Cat familiar!\n\n\n*** Spells ***\n\n- Spells can now have more than one focus effect at a time, similar to AAs.\n- Melee skills that apply buffs to the caster no longer require a target in order to work.\n- Shadowknight - Adjusted the hatred multiplier for the gift recourse from the line of Touch spells to be as good or better than the highest rank of the AA ability Voice of Thule that is available at each level range.\n- Spells that allow you to gravitate your target toward your location have been modified so that they only function on targets up to level 100. This applies to Compliant Lurch and Forceful Attraction.\n\n\n*** NPC ***\n\n- Reviewed the majority of enemies in Call of the Forsaken and The Darkened Sea zones with regards to immunity to runspeed changes, mesmerization, stun, lull, charm, and fear, and removed or relaxed restrictions on most NPCs.\n- Fixed some enemies that were immune to fling and gravitate effects but would allow players to attempt to cast on them. These spell now fail immediately upon casting on these immune enemies rather than upon landing. This applies primarily to raid encounters and encounters in the Plane of War.\n\n\n*** AA ***\n\n- Passive AA abilities that modify the amount of hatred generated by the player's actions can now be toggled on and off. This change means these abilities can now be auto-granted to all classes, and allowed us to refund the activated AA ability Negation of Subtlety.\n- The AA abilities Knowledge of Alaran Culture and Advanced Knowledge of Alaran Culture have been removed. All Veil of Alaris AA abilities that required the purchase of Advanced Knowledge of Alaran Culture have had that restriction removed.\n- Consolidated All bind-wound-related AA ability lines (Bandage Wound, Mithaniel's Binding, Field Dressing, and Combat Medic) into a single general line called Bandage Wounds.\n- Consolidated the general innate statistic lines (Innate Strength, Innate Agility, etc) and the statistic cap lines (Planar Strength, Planar Agility, etc) into single ability lines in order to reduce UI clutter in the AA window. For example: Planar Strength is now rank 16 of Innate Strength.\n- Glyph of the Indeterminable Reward and Glyph of Unfathomable Reward no longer share a re-use timer with the other Glyph AA abilities.\n- Corrected an issue with the Ageless Enmity and Area Taunt AA abilities that prevented them from adding the intended amount of hatred over the previously most hated target.\n- The passive AA ability Spell Casting Reinforcement no longer extends the duration of invulnerability spells.\n- Unobtainable ranks of Hero's Vitality, Hero's Fortitude, and Hero's Resolution no longer display in the Special tab of the AA window. Newer ranks of the ability are displayed as they become available as rewards for completing content.\n- Beastlord - Renamed the AA ability line Extended Feralgia to Extended Moongrowl and corrected it to work on level 105 spells.\n- Beastlord - Corrected an issue with the AA Extended Bloodlust that prevented it from extending the duration of the second rank of the Bloodlust ability.\n- Beastlord - Renamed the AA ability line Spell Casting Subtlety to Combat Subtlety and updated its description to better reflect the fact that hatred generated by both spells and melee combat is affected by this line.\n- Beastlord - Corrected a bug with the passive AA ability Extended Moongrowl that prevented it from extending the duration of the Growl of the Leopard and Feralgia lines of spells as intended.\n- Beastlord - Adjusted the required level, expansion and costs for the Shaman and Beastlord versions of the AA abilities Shrink and Group Shrink. This corrects an issue that prevented the beastlord version of the AA ability Shrink from displaying.\n- Berserker - Renamed the AA ability line Echoing Cries to Extended War Cry.\n- Berserker - Removed the ability for the self-damage component of the AA ability Agony of Absolution to apply critical damage.\n- Berserker - Updated the AA ability line Axe of Rallos to function with the level 105 skill Axe of Numicia.\n- Berserker - Renamed the AA ability line Extended Havoc to Extended Cry Havoc and it now functions on the ability Cry Carnage.\n- Berserker - The AA ability line Decapitate no longer reports \"Your target does not meet the spell requirements\" when melee attacking targets that are above the level in which the ability can trigger. Instead, the decapitating blow will deal 0 damage to targets that are too high of a level for this ability.\n- Berserker - Furious Rampage now places a visible buff on you to indicate its duration and to allow you to remove the effect early if needed.\n- Berserker - Created Focused Furious Rampage, a new AA ability that allows you the same number of additional combat rounds on a single target.\n- Enchanter - Changed the re-use times of all enchant material AA abilities from 1 to 8 hours to 10 to 60 seconds. These abilities now share two re-use timers (one for mass and one for single use).\n- Monk - Destructive Force now places a visible buff on you to indicate its duration and to allow you to remove the effect early if needed.\n- Monk - Extra melee rounds granted from Destructive Force now have the ability to trigger additional hits from double attack, etc.\n- Monk - Created Focused Destructive Force, a new AA ability that allows you the same number of additional combat rounds on a single target.\n- Monk - Updated the AA ability Hastened Destructive Force to function on both Destructive Force and Focused Destructive Force.\n- Rogue - Rakes Rampage now places a visible buff on you to indicate its duration and to allow you to remove the effect early if needed.\n- Rogue - Created Focused Rakes Rampage, a new AA ability that allows you the same number of additional combat rounds on a single target.\n- Paladin - Modified the AA ability Beacon of the Righteous so that it will now impart its instantaneous hatred component even if the stun and hatred over time components of the ability are resisted.\n- Paladin - Changed the resist modifier for Divine Call to be more in line with other gravitate and fling abilities.\n- Paladin and Shadowknight - Added a new passive ability line, Bold Attacks, that increases the amount of hatred generated by your actions. Reduced the effective hate percentages for the activated AA abilities Voice of Thule and Marr's Salvation so that maximum hate generation is close to the same amount.\n- Warrior - Added more ranks to the passive AA ability line Bold Attacks and extended the line to lower levels to match the levels that the Paladin and Shadowknight version of this AA ability line become available.\n- Warrior - The buff applied when using Rage of the Forsaken has had its duration and aggro multiplier reduced to better reflect intended values with the recent changes to Bold Attacks.\n- Warrior - Renamed the AA ability line Hastened Defiance to Hastened Warlords Tenacity and re-ordered the ranks to reflect their proper power growth.\n- Warrior - All ranks of the AA ability Warlords Tenacity now count down in buff-frozen zones.\n- Warrior - Modified Warlord's Grasp so that the improved taunt portion of the ability will continue to function even if the target is immune to the gravity portion of the ability.\n- Warrior - Sneering Grin ranks 1-3 have been changed to be a toggled passive ability.\n- Wizard - Modified the AA abilities Frenzied Devastation and Sustained Devastation so that only the spells focused by these abilities will use charges and receive the focus effect.\n- - Adjusted the mana cost component of these abilities to make them less mana efficient.\n- - Improved the number of charges slightly for Frenzied Devastation and substantially for Sustained Devastation.\n- - Improved the chance to critically cast granted by Sustained Devastation.\n- - Created two additional ranks of Sustained Devastation to better match the available ranks of Frenzied Devastation\n- Made a number of changes to AA abilities that allow players to escape from combat:\n- - Corrected a bug that ignored any chance to escape from combat that was set below 100% on spells that did not have a duration.\n- - Changed the invisibility component of abilities that allow you to escape. Now, upon successfully rolling your escape chance, if you are at least 30 feet away from all targets that have you high (top 10) on their hatelist, you will have a spell cast on you. In most cases this spell is an invisibility buff.\n- - Modified the Cleric ability Divine Peace, the Paladin ability Balefire Burst, the Warrior ability Howl of the Warlord, and the Berserker ability Self Preservation to apply a sanctuary buff upon a successful escape rather than invisibility.\n- - The distance restriction for the added spell component of these abilities does not apply to the hatelist removal functionality. There is no minimum distance for removing yourself from the hatelists of qualifying NPCs.\n- - Put level restrictions in place on all escape abilities. Starting at level 75 most classes are only able to immediately escape combat from NPCs that are yellow con (player level +3) or lower. Exceptions to this are Rogues, Bards, Monks, Shadowknights and Rangers who can escape from NPCs that are up to 5 levels higher. AA abilities available prior to level 71 now work on creatures up to level 75.\n- - All classes with escape AA abilities now have new 0 cost ranks available at each level increase that they did not previously have purchasable ranks. These 0 cost ranks increase the maximum level that the abilities will function on.\n- - Bard - Increased mana cost for higher level ranks of the AA ability Fading Memories by approximately 3% per player level.\n- - Ranger - Removed mana cost for the AA ability Cover Tracks and increased its success rate from 50-70-85% to 60-75-90%.\n- - Magician - Combined the AA abilities Drape of Shadows and Cloak of Shadows into a single ability line Drape of Shadows which provides a chance for the Magician to escape from combat and a guaranteed chance for their pet to escape from combat. The combined ability does not require the Magician's pet to be up for the Magician to escape from combat. Merged the Magician passive abilities Hastened Drape of Shadows and Hastened Cloak of Shadows into a single line which provides a 4.5 minute reduction to the reuse time of the combined ability at max rank.\n- - Shadowknight - The spell Rigor Mortis will be modified in a later patch to correctly cap the level of targets that it functions on and Last Gasp, Last Breath, Final Gasp and Terminal Breath will be updated with similar functionality to Rigor Mortis. For now, Rigor Mortis is capped at level 109.\n\n- Modified all AA abilities that allow you to fling or gravitate your target to your location so they function only on NPC targets below your current level. Added new 0 cost ranks at every level to increase the level range that the abilities will function on. This applies to Lure of the Siren's Song, Divine Call, Moving Mountains, Warlord's Grasp, and Hate's Attraction.\n\n- Combined the following activated AA abilities into single lines:\n- - Acute Focus of Arcanum, Enlightened Focus of Arcanum and Empowered Focus of Arcanum are now ranks 2-5 of Focus of Arcanum.\n- - Replenish Companion ranks 1-21 are now ranks 2-22 of Mend Companion.\n- - Berserker - Cascading Rage ranks 1-10 are now ranks 4-13 of Untamed Rage. Hastened Cascading Rage has been renamed Hastened Untamed Rage and has been updated to function on all ranks of the combined ability line.\n- - Berserker - Stomping Leap is now rank 3 of Battle Leap. Battle Leap rank 3 is now rank 4. Rank 3 of Battle Leap now stuns targets up to level 85 in addition to conferring a melee bonus to the caster, rank 4 now stuns targets up to level 90 as well as conferring an improved melee bonus.\n- - Cleric - Improved Sanctuary is now rank 2 of Sanctuary.\n- - Druid - Hand of Ro is now rank 1 of Blessing of Ro, ranks 2-5 of Blessing of Ro are equivalent to what were previously ranks 1-4.\n- - Enchanter - Improved Reactive Rune ranks 1-3 are now ranks 3-6 of Reactive Rune.\n- - Magician - Small Modulation Shard, Medium Modulation Shard, and Large Modulation Shard are now ranks 1-3 of a combined line: Summon Modulation Shard.\n- - Magician - Fire Core ranks 1-10 are now ranks 2-11 of Heart of Flames. Extended Fire Core has been renamed Extended Heart of Flames and has been updated to work on all ranks of Heart of Flames.\n- - Magician - Vapor Core ranks 1-12 are now ranks 2-13 of Heart of Vapor. Extended Vapor Core has been renamed Extended Heart of Vapor and has been updated to work on all ranks of Heart of Vapor.\n- - Magician - Ice Core ranks 1-7 are now ranks 2-8 of Heart of Ice. Extended Ice Core has been renamed Extended Heart of Ice and has been updated to work on all ranks of Heart of Ice.\n- - Magician - Stone Core ranks 1-10 are now ranks 2-11 of Heart of Stone. Extended Stone Core has been renamed Extended Heart of Stone and has been updated to work on all ranks of Heart of Stone.\n- - Necromancer - Army of the Dead ranks 1-27 are now ranks 4-30 of Wake the Dead. Graverobbing has been renamed Hastened Wake the Dead and has been updated to function on all ranks of the combined ability line. Quickened Army of the Dead has been renamed Quickened Wake the Dead and has been updated to function on all ranks of the combined ability line.\n- - Necromancer - Improved Death Peace is now rank 3 of Death Peace.\n- - Necromancer - Perfected Dead Man Floating is now rank 2 of Dead Man Floating.\n- - Paladin - Hand of Disruption is now rank 1 of Force of Disruption, ranks 2-15 of Force of Disruption are equivalent to what were previously ranks 1-14.\n- - Shadowknight - Improved Death Peace is now rank 3 of Death Peace.\n- - Shadowknight - Improved Explosion of Hatred is now rank 3 of Explosion of Hatred. All ranks have been made no-resist.\n- - Shadowknight - Improved Explosion of Spite is now rank 2 of Explosion of Spite. All ranks have been made no-resist.\n- - Warrior - Enhanced Area Taunt is now rank 2 of Area Taunt. Hastened Instigation has been renamed Hastened Area Taunt and has been updated to function on all ranks of the combined ability.\n- - Warrior - Stomping Leap is now rank 3 of Battle Leap. Battle Leap rank 3 is now rank 4. Rank 3 of Battle Leap now stuns targets up to level 85 in addition to conferring a melee bonus to the caster, rank 4 now stuns targets up to level 90 as well as conferring an improved melee bonus.\n- - Wizard - Mana Blast, Mana Blaze and Volatile Mana Blaze are now ranks 2-12 of Mana Burn. Hastened Manaburn has been updated to function on all ranks of the combined ability line.\n- - Wizard - Prolonged Destruction ranks 1-15 are now ranks 4-18 of Frenzied Devastation. Sustained Destruction has been renamed Sustained Devastation. Improved Sustained Destruction is now rank 7 of Sustained Devastation. Hastened Prolonged Destruction has been renamed Hastened Devastation and has been updated to function on all ranks of both Frenzied Devastation and Sustained Devastation.\n- - Wizard - Frenzied Devastation and Sustained Devastation have been modified so that only the spells focused by these abilities will use charges and receive the focus effect. The mana cost component of these abilities has been adjusted to make them intentionally less mana efficient. The number of charges has been improved slightly for Frenzied Devastation and substantially for Sustained Devastation. The chance to critically cast granted by 'Sustained Devastation' has been improved. Two additional ranks of Sustained Devastation have been created to better match the available ranks of Frenzied Devastation.\n- - Wizard - Atol's Unresistable Shackles is now rank 2 of Atol's Shackles.\n\n- Modified the timer data for the following activated AA abilities so that they should no longer conflict:\n- - Berserker - Furious Leap with Battle Leap and Battle Stomp.\n- - Berserker - Savage Spirit with Identify.\n- - Cleric - Call of the Herald with Harmonic Dissonance.\n- - Cleric - Blessed Chains with Drakkin racial breath abilities.\n- - Cleric - Innate Invis to Undead with Celestial Regeneration.\n- - Enchanter - Beguiler's Banishment and Beguiler's Directed Banishment with Drakkin racial breath abilities.\n- - Necromancer - Self-Sacrifice with Banestrike.\n- - Necromancer - Encroaching Darkness with Bind Affinity.\n- - Necromancer - Cloak of Shadows and Innate Invis to Undead with Death Peace.\n- - Necromancer - Scent of Terris with Identify.\n- - Paladin - Radiant Cure with Heroic Leap.\n- - Shadowknight - Bobbing Corpse with Bony Grasp of Death.\n- - Shadowknight - Cloak of Shadows with Death Peace.\n- - Warrior - Furious Leap with Battle Leap.\n- - Wizard - Translocate with Summon Clockwork Banker.\n\n- Corrected the following issues with the AA abilities Projection of Doom, Projection of Fury, and Projection of Piety:\n- - Multiple projections can now be used on a single target. Previously, if multiple projections were used on the same target only the most recently summoned pet would transfer aggro to the caster.\n- - Corrected a bug where the caster would have their aggro value with the target set to the amount of hate generated by the pet rather than increased by the amount of hate generated by the pet. Previously, if the ability was used late into a fight, it could result in a net loss of hate with the target.\n\n*** Progression Servers ***\n\n- Removed the maximum player limit for the following Kunark zones: Karnor's Castle, The Dreadlands, Skyfire Mountains, The Ruins of Sebilis, The Emerald Jungle, Timorous Deep, and Howling Stones.\n- The Plane of Fear and the Plane of Hate now load balance when populated by enough adventurers. Raid targets will only spawn in the base version of the zone.\n- Increased the intensity of the effects of Mark of the Old Ways, which is applied to Magician and Necromancer pets that are engaged in combat with raid bosses, to values that are more in line with intended tuning.\n\n\n*** Miscellaneous ***\n\n- If you are currently bound in a zone that no longer allows Bind Affinity to function, that bind point will be reset to your starting location the next time you enter your current bind zone.\n- Monk - The skills Eagle Strike and Dragon Punch (or Tail Rake) now share the same timer as Tiger Claw so that they will no longer conflict with the reuse timer for Kick, Round Kick and Flying Kick.\n- The auto-follow command no longer requires you to be grouped with your targeted player.\n- Corrected a bug that prevented the Add Funds function in the Marketplace window from working.\n- Bags and items will no longer temporarily disappear on the client if you retrieve them from the shared bank and have a lore item conflict with your Parcels.\n\n\n*** UI ***\n\n- In a future release, marketplace purchases will be able to complete directly without having to open the Marketplace window. Created a new window that contains only information about the specific marketplace item to support this.\n- Corrected a bug where NPC wild rampage messages were being filtered as pet wild rampage messages and vice versa.\n\n\n- Changed -\n\nEQUI.xml\nEQUI_PurchaseWnd.xml\n\n\n*** Previously Updated ***\n\n- Trakanon in Sebilis will drop additional Veeshan's Peak key pieces (Trakanon's Tooth) on progression servers.\n- a dracoliche in pre-revamp Plane of Fear is no longer teeny tiny. He is three times his previous size, and the same size as his post-revamp version. a dracoliche in pre-revamp Plane of Fear now has a 100% chance to drop an item, up from 30%.\n- The experience rewards for all bone chip quests have been retuned. Half of the bone chip quests had their reward increased dramatically. However, with the current ease of collecting bone chips in the modern game, the reward was very high in some cases, and so those quests have had the reward reduced.\n- The Keg of Vox Tail Ale is now available for purchase from various merchants across Norrath.\n- An Undead Bard will only spawn in the base version of Old Sebilis.\n\n\n- The EverQuest Team","content_hash":"3d04c2444fcbbd87a3484771992ca016c5d38a53217dc42e098ad239a8750dc0","source_files":["patches-2015-2.txt"],"source_titles":["Game Update Notes: September 23, 2015"],"source_url":"https://forums.daybreakgames.com/eq/index.php?threads/game-update-notes-september-23-2015.226759/","source_urls":["https://forums.daybreakgames.com/eq/index.php?threads/game-update-notes-september-23-2015.226759/"],"occurrence_count":1,"source_occurrences":[{"occurrence_id":"e87d7be70caa9550e5ba2b55e42c80d67d35e2109fab686d527794d7a2a9fa7b","filename":"patches-2015-2.txt","adapter":"text","source_offset":23240,"item_index":null,"heading":"Game Update Notes: September 23, 2015","source_url":"https://forums.daybreakgames.com/eq/index.php?threads/game-update-notes-september-23-2015.226759/","source_url_raw":"https://forums.daybreakgames.com/eq/index.php?threads/game-update-notes-september-23-2015.226759/","published":null,"source_kind":"text","excerpt":false,"year_inferred":false}],"year_inferred":false,"sequence":1,"slug":"2015-09-23-1","id":"2015-09-23-1"},{"patch_date":"2015-08-19","effective_date":"2015-08-19","display_date":"Game Update Notes: August 19, 2015","title":"Game Update Notes: August 19, 2015","year":2015,"month":8,"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","Items","Quests & Events","Spells","AA","Progression Servers","Miscellaneous","UI","Previously Updated"],"change_count":63,"word_count":1550,"summary":"Highlights *** Fixed an issue with turbo processors causing players to run very fast/very slow.

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. See that section below for details.\n\n\n*** Items ***\n\n- Added augmentation slots to a handful of miscellaneous armor and weapons that did not previously have them.\n- Magician - Corrected the following issues with the Obedient Companion line of spells cast by magician robes:\n- - Renamed these spells to follow a simpler standardization.\n- - Robes obtained in The Darkened Sea (excluding Castaway Robe of the Conjuror) will now focus Bolt of Molten Shieldstone rather than Bolt of Molten Magma.\n- - Increased the amount of focus damage that TDS robes will add to Bolt of Molten Shieldstone.\n- - The Companion's Strikes triggered by the TDS robes can now be cast when your pet backstabs in addition to when it bashes. 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- Monk - Moved the Echo of Misdirection line from timer 6 to timer -1.\n- Monk - Moved the Phantom/Apparition line from timer 9 to timer -1.\n- Monk - Moved Vigorous Shuriken from timer 14 to timer -1.\n- Monk - Moved Drunken Monkey Style from timer 14 to timer -1.\n- Monk - Reduced the skill damage modifier on Innerflame Discipline and its upgrades (Crystalpalm, Diamondpalm, Terrorpalm) 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- 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- Warrior - Moved the Bracing Defense line from timer 6 to timer -1.\n- Warrior - Moved Throat Jab from timer 9 to timer -1.\n- Warrior - Moved Commanding Voice from timer 9 to timer -1.\n- Warrior - Moved Champion's Aura and Myrmidon's Aura from timer 10 to timer -1.\n- Warrior - Moved the Field Armorer line from timer 10 to timer -1.\n- Warrior - Moved Lionhearted Rally-Cry from timer 12 to timer -1.\n- Warrior - Reduced the skill damage modifier on Fellstrike Discipline 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":"2015-07-22","effective_date":"2015-07-22","display_date":"Game Update Notes: July 22, 2015","title":"Game Update Notes: July 22, 2015","year":2015,"month":7,"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":"ui","label":"UI"},{"slug":"servers","label":"Servers"},{"slug":"expansions","label":"Expansions"}],"sections":["Highlights","Spells","AA","Progression Servers","Miscellaneous","UI"],"change_count":53,"word_count":1572,"summary":"Highlights *** Proc effect stacking - Multiple procs can now trigger from the same triggering action.

Spells that affected one or the other have been changed to have equivalent effects.\n    - Proc effect stacking - Changed how buffs that trigger effects when spells and skills are used (\"procs\") interact with each other. All procs now have the ability to cast concurrently. This changes previous behavior that only allowed one proc spell to be cast at a time.\n    - - Example one: For a player using the Bone Staff of Wickedness and the buff Spirit of the Puma, it is now possible for both effects to proc independently each melee round. Under the previous rules, players could only cast one or the other spell per melee round.\n    - - Example two: For a player wielding Kyzer's Ritual Dagger augmented with The Murderer's Heart, it is now possible for both effects to proc independently each time that player casts an appropriate detrimental spell. Under the previous rules, players could only cast one or the other spell per appropriate detrimental spell cast.\n    - Spells can now be defined as belonging to a Spell Stacking Group. Inspecting a spell that belongs to a Spell Stacking Group will list the name of that group and the rank of that spell within the group in the spell inspection window.\n    - Assigned Spell Stacking Groups to buffs that trigger effects when casting spells or using skills in order to support the fact that you can now have multiple buffs with these effects active at the same time.\n    - - Examples: Mana Reiteration Rk. III (which is now rank 22 of the \"Mana Flare\" stacking group) will now be overwritten by Mana Reciprocation Rk. III (which is now rank 40 of the \"Mana Flare\" stacking group).\n    - - Mana Reciprocation Rk. III will *not* be overwritten by Ancient Hedgewizard Brew because Ancient Hedgewizard Brew is part of the stacking group \"Resonant Tonics\".\n    - Damage shield damage is now considered magical non-melee damage; this means that melee guard and melee threshold guard spell effects will no longer negate damage shield damage. Rune, spell guard, spell threshold guard, and spells that allow you to absorb damage as mana will continue to block damage shield damage.\n    - Taking damage from a damage shield is now an action that can decrement the use counter on some limited use spells.\n    - A number of changes have been implemented regarding damage shield and environmental damage messages:\n    - - Changed damage shield message filters from \"Show All/Hide All\" to \"Show All/Show Mine/Hide All.\"\n    - - Added the ability to filter environmental damage messages for other players as \"Show All/Hide All.\"\n    - - Added the ability to set individual colors for incoming, outgoing and others' damage shield messages, and to filter them to separate windows.\n    - - Damage shield messages will now display the amount of damage dealt by a defender to an attacker. Damage assignment has not changed; damage from damage shields is still not assigned to an owner.\n    - - Damage shield messages will now display the correct message if the amount of damage being taken was negated by spell effects such as rune or spell guard.\n    - - Changed the filter for spell effects that cause the bearer to take damage when they attack (such as the cleric \"Mark\" line of spells) so they are reported as damage shield damage. These spell effects now message the amount of damage the attacker takes.\n    - - Changed the filter for spell effects that cause the caster of a detrimental spell to take damage (\"feedback\" spells) so they are reported as damage shield damage. These spell effects now message the amount of damage the caster takes.\n    - - Created new filters and assignable colors for environmental damage messages (such as burning in lava, drowning, suffocating, freezing in ice, falling, or being hit by a trap). They are no longer filtered as if they were damage shield messages.\n    - Adjusted the spell names and the 'spell landed' and 'spell wore off' messages on a number of spells to reduce the cases where dissimilar spell lines shared the same messages or where multiple spells shared the same name.\n\n\n    *** AA ***\n\n    - Corrected a display issue that could occur when two existing AA lines were consolidated into a single line.\n    - Activated AA abilities that have their timer refunded because their spell failed to take hold or affect a target can no longer trigger spell procs.\n    - Enchanter - Retuned Gift of Hazy Thoughts to grant a more consistent but lower damage increase. Gift of Hazy Thoughts now triggers Gift of Chromatic Haze rather than Chromatic Haze VI, and can now be triggered by casting damage over time or stun spells in addition to direct damage spells. Gift of Chromatic Haze has a much lower damage focus than Chromatic Haze VI.\n    - Enchanter - Ranks 1-21 of the AA ability line Nightmare Stasis have been consolidated into ranks 4-24 of the Stasis AA ability line. The /alt act number for Nightmare Stasis (previously 748) is now 409. The functionality of Waking Nightmares, triggered when ranks 4-24 of Stasis breaks, remains unchanged.\n    - Enchanter - Fixed a bug that prevented the AA ability line Quickened Stasis from shortening the cast time of ranks 4-24 of Stasis.\n    - Enchanter - The AA ability line Hastened Nightmare Stasis has been renamed Hastened Stasis.\n    - Enchanter - Fixed a bug with the AA ability line Profound Visage. The ability line now multiplies the base effectiveness of the visage buffs by 20% per rank. (Ex. Rank 6 now allows the bearer of Horrifying Visage to generate 22% more aggro, up from its base 10%.)\n    - Enchanter - The AA ability line Surreality has been renamed Hastened Mind Over Matter.\n    - Enchanter - The AA ability line Doppelganger's Beckon has been renamed Hastened Doppelganger.\n    - Enchanter - The buff triggered by the AA ability Gracious Gift of Mana has been renamed Gracious Gift of Mana 96 to 105 and has had its messages updated to more closely match other \"Gift of Mana\" spells.\n    - Enchanter - Corrected a bug with the AA ability Hastened Mesmerization that prevented it from functioning on level 86 through 89 and level 100 to 105 spells.\n    - Enchanter - Ranks 1-6 of the AA ability line Mana Draw have been consolidated into ranks 2-7 of Gather Mana. The AA ability line Hastened Gathering has been renamed Hastened Gather Mana. Ranks 1-3 of the AA ability line Hastened Mana Draw have been consolidated into ranks 3-5 of Hastened Gather Mana.\n    - Enchanter - Corrected a bug with the AA ability line Forceful Banishment that prevented it from working on ranks 2-4 of Beguiler's Banishment.\n\n\n    *** Progression Servers ***\n\n    - Hunting zones in The Ruins of Kunark will spin up new load balancing versions when they are populated by enough adventurers.\n    - Many of the bosses in the Plane of Sky, the Plane of Hate, and the Plane of Fear will provide more of a challenge on Progression Servers.\n    - Antonican Traveler's Bags and Antonican Traveler's Rucksacks are now available for purchase year-round on Progression Servers.\n\n\n    *** Miscellaneous ***\n\n    - Added /pickzone fewestplayers to automatically pick the zone with the lowest number of players.\n    - Fixed a bug that would very occasionally cause you to appear unconscious even though you were full health after a divine save.\n    - NPCs that are in combat and are pushed by spells with a knockback component should no longer teleport directly to their most hated target if their most hated target remains stationary.\n    - NPCs that are pushed by spells with a knockback component should appear in their new location more quickly than before.\n\n\n    *** UI ***\n\n    - When viewing achievements from chat you will now see the category and sub-category that the achievement is from in the Achievements window.\n    - Added the ability to open an achievement in the achievements window when viewing an achievement from chat by clicking \"View Mine\".\n\n    - Changed -\n    EQUI_AchievementWnd.xml\n\n\n    - The EverQuest Team","content_hash":"b6fbd0777a607ef803421beae0f1a7cfcd2a40cc179672b4177e9ed121e7ae91","source_files":["patches-2015-2.txt"],"source_titles":["Game Update Notes: July 22, 2015"],"source_url":"https://forums.daybreakgames.com/eq/index.php?threads/game-update-notes-july-22-2015.225121/","source_urls":["https://forums.daybreakgames.com/eq/index.php?threads/game-update-notes-july-22-2015.225121/"],"occurrence_count":1,"source_occurrences":[{"occurrence_id":"c8c90656035a56e77384793e8381a8d3bb8c3dbdaa6f11a41a200b71d68b7cd6","filename":"patches-2015-2.txt","adapter":"text","source_offset":4025,"item_index":null,"heading":"Game Update Notes: July 22, 2015","source_url":"https://forums.daybreakgames.com/eq/index.php?threads/game-update-notes-july-22-2015.225121/","source_url_raw":"https://forums.daybreakgames.com/eq/index.php?threads/game-update-notes-july-22-2015.225121/","published":null,"source_kind":"text","excerpt":false,"year_inferred":false}],"year_inferred":false,"sequence":1,"slug":"2015-07-22-1","id":"2015-07-22-1"},{"patch_date":"2015-07-01","effective_date":"2015-07-01","display_date":"Game Update Notes: July 1, 2015","title":"Game Update Notes: July 1, 2015","year":2015,"month":7,"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"}],"sections":["Highlights","Items","Quests & Events","Spells","NPC","AA","Progression Servers","Miscellaneous","UI","Previously Updated"],"change_count":21,"word_count":614,"summary":"Highlights *** Big bags are returning to Norrath for a limited time!

You will no longer be required to purchase any rank at a 0 cost. Additionally, all shrouds and template characters will have Eyes Wide Open granted to them innately so that all slots in the extended target window behave as expected, even in template form.\n    - Enchanter - Made the following adjustments to Gift of Hazy Thoughts:\n    -- 1. Increased the proc chance from 5 to 8 percent.\n    -- 2.

They feel as though they can still compete with all-in-one vendors.\n\n\n    *** Advanced Loot System ***\n\n    - Please note that there are extensive help files available in the /advloot window. The following is an overview to help you get started.\n    - If you wish to disable the Advanced Loot System, type /advloot, click on the \"Edit Filters\" button, and then uncheck the \"Use Advanced Looting\" option there.\n\n    - When you are solo, any loot from NPCs you kill will appear in your Personal Loot List. You have these options with things that appear on this list:\n    - - Loot: Click the green check mark and this item will be placed in your inventory immediately.\n    - - Leave: Click on the red X and the item will be left on the NPC's corpse.\n    - - AN (Always Need): Check this box to say you always \"need\" this item. While solo you will always loot this item automatically (if you have Apply Filters checked).\n    - - AG (Always Greed): Check this box to say you always \"want\" this item. While solo you will always loot this item automatically (if you have Apply Filters checked).\n    - - Never: Click on this red X and the item will be added to your \"never\" filter, meaning it will never be added to your personal loot list again (if you have Apply Filters checked).\n    - - Loot All: If you choose this button, the system will attempt to move everything in your Personal Loot List in to your inventory.\n\n    - When you are in a group, the Master Looter's name will appear in the loot window, and the following options now appear in your Shared Loot List:\n    - - ND (Need): Indicate that this item will benefit you directly.\n    - - GD (Greed): Indicate that you would like this item.\n    - - NO: Indicate that you do not want this item.\n    - - AN (Always Need): If you select this, you will always roll \"Need\" for this item.\n    - - AG (Always Greed): If you select this, you will always roll \"Greed\" for this item.\n    - - NV (Never): Indicate that you never want this item.\n\n    - If you are the Master Looter, you have the following additional options:\n    - - Action: This is an icon that shows the current status of the item. It defaults to \"Ask\" (Question Mark) which will ask your group to speak up for the item. If you click this button, it will change to \"Stop\" (Red octagon), which will stop all action relating to the item.\n    - - Manage: If you click the gear icon, you open the Manage window. From this window you can choose the following:\n    - - - Leave On Corpse will leave the item on the corpse. Once the corpse unlocks, anyone is free to loot it.\n    - - - You can also choose a player in your group from the drop-down menu and click \"Give.\" This will award the item to that player directly.\n    - - - If you check \"Auto Roll,\" an automated random roll will occur whenever this item is seen again, awarding the item directly to the winner.\n    - - Roll: Check this box to initiate a roll for the item.\n    - - You can also right-click on the item for the following options:\n    - - - Free Grab: The first person to express interest in this item (by checking ND, GD, AN, or AG) will get it.\n    - - - Leave on Corpse: The item is removed from the Shared Loot List and anyone can loot it from the corpse.\n    - - - Give to: This option lets you give the item directly to a specific person in your group.\n\n\n    *** Quests & Events ***\n\n    - Artifacts of Great Importance - Made eating mushrooms a bit easier in this Heroic Adventure, and fixed a bug that could prevent the task from progressing if you ate the mushrooms too quickly. You no longer need to target yourself when using the Living Fungi (but if you want to, go for it).\n    - Liquid Courage - A Flask of Fire Water no longer incorrectly sends messages regarding a bonus objective. The real method to obtain the objective does not involve this item.\n    - Korucust's Royal Pain - Corrected a problem that could allow players to complete some task elements out of order and get stuck.\n    - Korucust's Royal Pain - Removed the requirement to have the key on your cursor when opening locked doors. It can merely be in your inventory.\n    - Korucust's Royal Pain - Reduced the number of kills necessary to complete those steps of the mission so you no longer have to track down everything in the zone.\n    - Korucust's Royal Pain - Changed the Key Teeth icon to use something more key-like than the salt and pepper shaker icon.\n    - Korucust's Royal Pain - Enemies in this Heroic Adventure now scale down in level more fairly.\n    - Pirates of Timorous Deep - Pirates you encounter in this mission will no longer enrage at low health.\n    - Pirates of Timorous Deep - Fixed a bug that could cause the buried treasure to not spawn in very rare circumstances.\n    - Pirates of Timorous Deep - Enemies in this Heroic Adventure now scale down in level more fairly.\n    - Cleansing the Ground - Fixed a bug that could cause far too many infected and hosts to spawn in this task.\n    - In the Plane of Fear, a harbinger of Fear can help adventurers get their epic 1.0 pieces that would normally drop from Cazic-Thule or the golems. These pieces cannot be multi-quested or traded. In addition, a harbinger of Fear can advance the Whistling Fists quest in the same way as Cazic-Thule.\n\n\n    *** Spells ***\n\n    - Druids - All spells in the Winter's Flame line have been changed to work like Winter's Wildflame. The component spells will now receive the full benefit of damage foci but will not use twincast counters on their own. The base spells can still be twincast as before.\n    - Magicians - Added \"No Twincast\" effects to all levels of Rampaging Servant. This allows the pet to be focused but prevents the single point of damage on this spell from using Twincast charges.\n    - Rangers - All spells in the Summer's Dew line have been changed to work like Summer's Cyclone. The component spells will now receive the full benefit of damage foci but will not use twincast counters on their own. The base spells can still be twincast as before.\n    - Spells that burn mana or endurance (such as the Tears of Qandieal line or Ignite Energy line) can now stack with each other on the same target.\n\n\n    *** NPC ***\n\n    - Brasse's beard has been located and returned to the correct location.\n    - Most vendors from the Plane of Knowledge have returned from hiatus. They feel as though they can still compete with all-in-one vendors.\n\n\n    *** AA ***\n\n    - Monk - Removed the knockback effect from Dragon Punch AA procs. Additionally removed the option to create an activation button for this ability because it is a passive effect.\n\n\n    *** Miscellaneous ***\n\n    - Changed the default file format for screenshots to JPG instead of BMP. You can change your screenshot format back to BMP or to PNG by placing the line \"ScreenshotType=PNG\" in the [Defaults] section of your eqclient.ini file.\n    - Disabled the force pop-up of the expansion at the login screen when you don't have the expansion.\n    - Removed the force pop-up of the Welcome Screen when logging in.\n    - Opening the petition window in your default browser should no longer point to an invalid page.\n    - /hidecorpse options: always, looted, listed and listedunlocked will now persist when zoning and logging off.\n    - Optimized the processing of long merchant lists. They should open more quickly now.\n\n\n    *** UI ***\n\n    - Added the new /autobank command. This will attempt to place any item on your cursor in your bank.\n    - The voice chat window is no longer active by default.\n    - /clearchat and /clearallchat now function while in hover mode.\n    - Fixed an issue with the Find window where scrolling to the bottom wouldn't stay there if you were in a group with 'show group' enabled.\n    - Added the ability for coin and point crystals to update when custom UIs move them to the alternate currencies tab.\n    - Added a prompt when deleting a character to make the player type the character's name as the confirmation instead of clicking a button.\n\n    - Many UI files have been changed. If you are unable to log in to a character with a custom UI, be sure to check the \"Reset UI to Default\" option just below \"Enter World\" on the Character Select screen.\n\n    - Added -\n    EQUI_AdvancedLootWnd.xml\n    EQUI_LootFiltersCopyWnd.xml\n    EQUI_LootFiltersWnd.xml\n    EQUI_ManageLootWnd.xml\n\n    - Changed -\n    EQUI_Templates.xml\n    EQUI_Animations.xml\n    EQUI_OptionsWindow.xml\n    EQUI_RaidWindow.xml\n    EQUI_Templates.xml\n    EQUI_TextEntryWnd.xml\n    EQUI.xml\n\n    *** Previously Updated ***\n\n    - Cleansing the Ground - Greatly reduced the number of infection hosts that spawn after the boss is defeated and lowered their levels by 5 to allow them to be dispatched more easily.\n\n\n\n    - The EverQuest Team","content_hash":"1448909e3d31a469d25d36fb37f94d470ea24c8011e08a85c6c4d0d6ce19b9ef","source_files":["patches-2015-1.txt"],"source_titles":["Game Update Notes: March 25, 2015"],"source_url":"https://forums.daybreakgames.com/eq/index.php?threads/game-update-notes-march-25-2015.218967/","source_urls":["https://forums.daybreakgames.com/eq/index.php?threads/game-update-notes-march-25-2015.218967/"],"occurrence_count":1,"source_occurrences":[{"occurrence_id":"4fca35e779a4f6c5c0b2d503dd350cc017182db41b76ca9036fa3e67fe9f8346","filename":"patches-2015-1.txt","adapter":"text","source_offset":21138,"item_index":null,"heading":"Game Update Notes: March 25, 2015","source_url":"https://forums.daybreakgames.com/eq/index.php?threads/game-update-notes-march-25-2015.218967/","source_url_raw":"https://forums.daybreakgames.com/eq/index.php?threads/game-update-notes-march-25-2015.218967/","published":null,"source_kind":"text","excerpt":false,"year_inferred":false}],"year_inferred":false,"sequence":1,"slug":"2015-03-25-1","id":"2015-03-25-1"},{"patch_date":"2015-02-25","effective_date":"2015-02-25","display_date":"Game Update Notes: February 25, 2015","title":"Game Update Notes: February 25, 2015","year":2015,"month":2,"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":"tradeskills","label":"Tradeskills"},{"slug":"ui","label":"UI"},{"slug":"servers","label":"Servers"},{"slug":"audio-graphics","label":"Audio & Graphics"},{"slug":"expansions","label":"Expansions"}],"sections":["Highlights","Items","Tradeskills","Quests & Events","Spells","NPC","AA","Progression Servers","Miscellaneous","UI","Previously Updated"],"change_count":63,"word_count":1312,"summary":"Highlights *** EverQuest's 16th anniversary is approaching soon!

Pacific Time (1:00 P.M. Eastern Time). (We all know that could be +/- a few hours, of course.)\n\nIn the meantime, you may want to check out some tips for getting started in Rain of Fear (with links to our posted guides) and read over the game update notes posted below here (these are taken from the patcher):\n\n    *** EverQuest: Rain of Fear ***\n\n    - The power of Fear, captured from its home plane by the Alarans and now freed from the grasp of the Triumvirate, is falling back to Norrath's surface in crystallized form.  The largest fragment of this power crashed on Alaris, very near to Erillion, the City of Bronze, but other powerful shards are falling elsewhere across the continents.  A new pathway is open outside of Erillion that leads to Shard's Landing, where followers of Cazic-Thule vie with other power-seekers in an attempt to restore their god.  Norrath's heroes are called into this conflict to prevent the rise of an even greater danger than the Triumvirate.\n\n    *** Highlights ***\n\n    - EverQuest's 19th expansion, Rain of Fear, has launched!  You can reach Shard's Landing by traveling through Erillion, the City of Bronze, or seek out new lands that other crystal impacts have revealed around the globe!\n    - Rain of Fear raises the level cap to 100.\n    - Added Slayer and Collection Achievements.  Slayer achievements will update when you kill the listed NPC.  Collection achievements will update when you right click the item.\n    - Added the Aggro Meter to display your current aggro rating in comparison to the most hated on an NPC.\n\n    *** Slayer / Collect Achievements ***\n\n    - When killing an NPC that is part of a Slayer achievement, you'll automatically get updated and your current kill counts can be viewed in the achievement window.\n    - A collectible item will have the \"Collectible\" tag in the item display window.\n    - To collect an item, right click on the item. When collecting an item you'll receive a notification message.\n    - Added \"Collectible\" as a filter option for \"Select by Type\" in the bazaar window and also alphabetized the type list.\n\n    *** Aggro Meter ***\n\n    - The new Aggro Meter displays your current percentage of hate compared to the entity that is most hated by the NPC that is the focus of the meter.  By default, this shows your current target, but the current aggro target can also be locked so that it won't change when you change your current target.\n    - The meter can be toggled open and closed using the EQ button, /aggrometer, or by assigning a key binding to it.\n    - Aggro meter displays can be toggled in the Player, Group, Target, and Extended Target Window using the right click menu for each window.\n    - Added the ability to set the low, warning, and most hated colors for the aggro ratings.  By default they are green, yellow, and red for low, warning, and most hated.\n    - Added the slash command /aggrolock that functions just like \"Set Aggro Target\" on the Aggro Meter.\n\n    *** Autonomous Brokering ***\n\n    - You will now be able to purchase items from a bazaar trader directly from the Bazaar Search Window if you own Rain of Fear.\n    - You will now be able to barter using the Barter Search Window if you own Rain of Fear.\n    - You will now be able to open The Bazaar Search and Barter Search windows using key bindings, EQ button commands, and the slash commands from any zone.\n    - You can now enter Offline Mode when in buyer or trader mode using the slash command or the \"Offline Mode\" button in the UI.  This will allow you to remain in this mode while EverQuest is not running.\n    - Offline transactions for each purchase / sale will output when you return from offline mode.\n    - Added in a confirmation for going into Offline Mode.  You can turn off this confirmation in the Options window.\n    - Added in key bindings, EQ button commands, and removed UI restrictions on opening the Bazaar / Trader Search window.\n    - Each trader item will now appear as the stack size that is for sale.  Previously the search results would return the total count of all of that item for sale in one line in the window.\n    - Implemented a max results per trader filter in the Bazaar Search window.\n    - Made some changes to the Bazaar Search window to make it look more like the Merchant window.\n     - - Added a \"Preview\" button.\n     - - Shortened \"Inspect Item\" to \"Inspect\" and put it at the top of the window.\n     - - Quantity is now its own column.\n     - - Added icons to the display (and made them follow the preview / inspect rules for right / left click).\n     - - The cost display now uses coin columns.\n     - - Made the \"Find Trader\" button only work when the highlighted item is being sold from a trader in the zone you are currently in.\n     - - Alt-left clicking the item line will now bring up the item inspect window for that line.\n    - Made some changes to the Barter Search window to make it look more like the Merchant window.\n     - - Added a \"Preview\" button.\n     - - Changed \"View Item\" to \"Inspect\" and put it at the top for compensation items.\n     - - Added an \"Inspect\" button for buy lines.\n     - - Quantity is now its own column.\n     - - Made the \"Find Buyer\" button only work when the highlighted item is being bought from a buyer in the zone you are currently in.\n     - - Made the icons follow the preview / inspect rules for right / left click.\n\n    *** Items ***\n\n    - Additional Hero's Forge robes have arrived! They are now available for the Ebon, Viridian, Violet, Beryl, and Auburn armor sets.\n    - Removed erroneous text from some augments which stated a solvent was required to remove them.\n\n    *** Tradeskills ***\n\n    - Hero's Forge violet cloth robes are now able to be crafted.\n    - Recipes that require a container as a component will now allow for auto-combine when the required container is in any container.\n\n    *** Quests & Events ***\n\n    - Increased the drop rate of the fear shards collected by Magus Burlshin.\n    - The Chaotic Vortex used in the Agnarr event in the Bastion of Thunder should once again teleport you when you right click it.\n    - Frostfell events will run from December 7th, 2012 to January 8th, 2013.\n\n    *** Spells ***\n\n    - Created hundreds of upgraded spells from level 96 to 100.  Rank I spells can be found on merchants in Shard's Landing, while higher ranks can be obtained from Tomekeeper Kirkaz, who is also in Shard's Landing.\n    - Beastlord - Corrected the spell description for Focus of Klar.\n    - Beastlord - Corrected the spell description for Spirit of Bale.\n    - Necromancer - Changed all \"Scent of X\" debuffs to match the icons and particle effects of Scent of Terris.\n    - Ranger - Corrected the spell icons for the \"Swarm of X\" DoT and Damage Shield spells.\n    - Wizard - Updated the fiery sword created by Burnmaster's Pyroblade.\n\n    *** AA ***\n\n    - Hundreds of Alternate Advancement upgrades are now available for levels 96 to 100.\n    - Warrior \"Gut Punch\" has had the accuracy debuff reduced in power for all ranks.\n    - Finishing Blow no longer requires the NPC to be visibly fleeing to activate.\n\n    *** Achievements ***\n\n    - Added Slayer and Collection Achievements.  Slayer achievements will update when you kill the listed NPC.  Collection achievements will update when you right click the item.\n\n    *** Progression Servers ***\n\n    - Fixed a problem that could cause an expansion to open without a vote.\n\n    *** Miscellaneous ***\n\n    - Fixed an issue where if you tried to go into full screen mode on a resolution that your monitor didn't support, it would previously crash the game.\n    - /log will now persist across logins.\n    - Added new tribute upgrades for level 96 to 100.  Some tribute types had new lines added to extend them past 10 ranks.\n\n    *** UI ***\n\n    - Added artwork for the Slayer and Collection buttons.\n    - Created new label EQTypes for the primary aggro rating, secondary aggro name, and secondary aggro rating.  They are:\n       AGGRO_TARGET_NAME    302\n       AGGRO_MOST_HATED_NAME    303\n       AGGRO_MOST_HATED_NAME_NO_LOCK    304\n       AGGRO_MY_HATE_PCT    305\n       AGGRO_MY_HATE_PCT_NO_LOCK    306\n       AGGRO_MOST_HATED_HATE_PCT    307\n       AGGRO_MOST_HATED_HATE_PCT_NO_LOCK    308\n       AGGRO_GROUP1_HATE_PCT    309\n       AGGRO_GROUP2_HATE_PCT    310\n       AGGRO_GROUP3_HATE_PCT    311\n       AGGRO_GROUP4_HATE_PCT    312\n       AGGRO_GROUP5_HATE_PCT    313\n       AGGRO_EXT_TARGET1_HATE_PCT    314\n       AGGRO_EXT_TARGET2_HATE_PCT    315\n       AGGRO_EXT_TARGET3_HATE_PCT    316\n       AGGRO_EXT_TARGET4_HATE_PCT    317\n       AGGRO_EXT_TARGET5_HATE_PCT    318\n       AGGRO_EXT_TARGET6_HATE_PCT    319\n       AGGRO_EXT_TARGET7_HATE_PCT    320\n       AGGRO_EXT_TARGET8_HATE_PCT    321\n       AGGRO_EXT_TARGET9_HATE_PCT    322\n       AGGRO_EXT_TARGET10_HATE_PCT    323\n       AGGRO_EXT_TARGET11_HATE_PCT    324\n       AGGRO_EXT_TARGET12_HATE_PCT    325\n       AGGRO_EXT_TARGET13_HATE_PCT    326\n       AGGRO_EXT_TARGET14_HATE_PCT    327\n       AGGRO_EXT_TARGET15_HATE_PCT    328\n       AGGRO_EXT_TARGET16_HATE_PCT    329\n       AGGRO_EXT_TARGET17_HATE_PCT    330\n       AGGRO_EXT_TARGET18_HATE_PCT    331\n       AGGRO_EXT_TARGET19_HATE_PCT    332\n       AGGRO_EXT_TARGET20_HATE_PCT    333\n    - Created a new gauge EQType(149) for the aggro gauge.\n    - Fixed an issue where automatic vertical scroll bars were sometimes overlapping text.\n    - Changed the Note window to automatically scroll if the text is too long.\n    - Changed the buttons in the Achievements window from plain blue to stylized versions.\n    - Fixed a bug with Merchant windows where the quantity window for purchase would always default to max stack even if the merchant didn't have that many available.\n    - Added a way to reset the your current UI to the default UI in the Character Select Screen.\n\n    - Added -\n    EQUI_AggroMeterWnd.xml\n    EQUI_BazaarConfirmationWnd.xml\n\n    - Changed -\n    EQUI.xml\n    EQUI_AchievementsWnd.xml\n    EQUI_AchievementWnd.xml\n    EQUI_Animations.xml\n    EQUI_BarterWnd.xml\n    EQUI_BarterSearchWnd.xml\n    EQUI_BazaarWnd.xml\n    EQUI_BazaarSearchWnd.xml\n    EQUI_CharacterListWnd.xml\n    EQUI_ExtendedTargetWindow.xml\n    EQUI_GroupWindow.xml\n    EQUI_LFGuildWnd.xml\n    EQUI_NoteWindow.xml\n    EQUI_OptionsWindow.xml\n    EQUI_PlayerWindow.xml\n    EQUI_TargetWindow.xml\n\n    *** Previously Updated ***\n\n    - Corrected a bug that prevented some players with older processors from launching the game.\n\n    - The EverQuest Team","content_hash":"c8709ee9ec83522cc76ca7cb1505e23519b76fb9e90dec4ee77f0854b5716ce6","source_files":["patches-2012-2.txt"],"source_titles":["November 27, 2012"],"source_url":null,"source_urls":[],"occurrence_count":1,"source_occurrences":[{"occurrence_id":"0a6ed55cb495c3309e277f0a12b4c3c56a81011741f3464436bf2435fb815bd1","filename":"patches-2012-2.txt","adapter":"text","source_offset":30907,"item_index":null,"heading":"November 27, 2012","source_url":null,"source_url_raw":null,"published":null,"source_kind":"text","excerpt":false,"year_inferred":false}],"year_inferred":false,"sequence":1,"slug":"2012-11-27-1","id":"2012-11-27-1"},{"patch_date":"2012-11-07","effective_date":"2012-11-07","display_date":"November 7, 2012","title":"November 7, 2012","year":2012,"month":11,"kind":"live","era":"EverQuest Live","expansion":"Veil of Alaris","expansion_code":"veil-of-alaris","categories":[{"slug":"bug-fixes","label":"Bug Fixes"},{"slug":"spells-aa","label":"Spells & AA"},{"slug":"ui","label":"UI"},{"slug":"servers","label":"Servers"},{"slug":"audio-graphics","label":"Audio & Graphics"}],"sections":["Miscellaneous","UI"],"change_count":18,"word_count":296,"summary":"Here are the patch notes for this morning's game update (taken from the patcher): Miscellaneous *** Made several changes to the way EverQuest is compiled.

They now all have red names when they are not usable.\n    - Added the ability to buy additional character slots and other account-based features from character select.\n    - Merchants will now \"Show Only Items That I Can Use\" by default.  Also spells that the character already has scribed and lower rank spells of the same spell group are now filtered out with \"Show Only Items...\".\n    - The alarm window is no longer a pop-up.  It is now accessible from the EQ menu button (EQ -> Actions -> Alarm) or the /alarm command.\n    - Added a new set of loading screens which feature helpful tips and concept art.\n    - Added an option to map the \"Toggle Bank Bags\" feature to a key on your keyboard.\n    - Added a new window for Alerts and an Alert History window to show any that you have viewed previously.  The history window is accessible from the EQ button.\n    - Altered the EQ main window (the cascading popup window that opens when you click the EQ button) so that shortcut key combinations appear next to the item commands in the window.\n    - Updated the \"Create Character\" button on the Character Creation screen to read \"Enter World\" instead. The functionality of this button remains the same.\n    - Converted all of the buttons that were individually declaring the exact \"A_BtnNormal\" style to use the common \"BDT_Normal\" template.\n    - Converted all of the buttons that were individually declaring the exact \"A_SmallBtnNormal\" style to use the common \"BDT_SmallNormal\" template.\n    - Converted all of the buttons that were individually declaring the exact \"A_SquareBtnNormal\" style to use the common \"BDT_Square\" template.\n    - Converted all of the buttons that were individually declaring the exact \"A_BigBtnNormal\" style to use the common \"BDT_BigNormal\" template.\n    - Converted all of the arrow buttons to use the common template.\n    - Converted all checkboxes where appropriate.\n    - Added a new template type for buttons that display a color in them such as the tint window, and converted all references to use this style.\n    - Added new template types for buttons that display coin with a recessed button around them such as the inventory display of money, and converted all references to use this style.\n    - Added a new template type for buttons that display items in them such as the container window, and converted all references to use this style.\n    - Removed the Voice Chat Notification window.\n    - The Welcome Screen will no longer open automatically when zoning into the first tutorial instance.\n    - Made it so that the newbie character no longer shows when the player is at the character select screen and has no characters.\n    - Changed the Journal button in the Window Selector window to open the Quest Journal window when clicked.\n    - Greatly increased the 'highlight' area around label points on the map and changed the highlight code so that only the nearest label point will highlight rather than all that fall within the range.\n    - Added the ability to change the color of the player on the map window from black.  The ini for it (MyColor) is found in the [MapViewWnd] section of your character's ini file and defaults to blue.  Additionally, the ability to change the group color, the local player color, and the find path color is now available through the Map Toolbar window.  Added new buttons in this window to allow easy modification of each of the color options.\n    - Modified the map window highlight functionality while the toolbar is active so that either a line or a label will be highlighted but not both.  This should make modifying the map easier since it'll be easier to highlight the one thing that is intended to be modified. \n    - Marked labels no longer show in the map window when the toolbar is not active (this mimics the functionality of marked lines).  Fixed a bug where marked labels were not highlighted while the toolbar was active.\n    - Increased the number of buy lines in the Barter Buyer Window from 50 to 200.\n\n\n\n    - Added -\n    EQUI_AlertStackWnd.xml\n    EQUI_AlertWnd.xml\n    EQUI_AlertHistoryWnd.xml\n    EQUI_HelpWnd.xml\n    EQUI_ZoneGuideWnd.xml\n    EQUI_ZonePathWnd.xml\n\n    -

However, rather than going directly into the receiving player's experience, the shared experience goes into two vitality pools, one for regular experience and one for AA experience.\n       - When a player with vitality in their pools plays, they gain regular and AA experience at a significantly increased rate for kills.\n       - The bonus is up to 5x for regular experience and up to 3x for AA experience.  Normal per-kill caps on experience apply.\n       - The vitality pools have caps:  approximately enough for 10 levels of regular experience, and enough to reach your AA cap for AA experience.\n       - When a receiving player's vitality becomes capped, their experience sharing is automatically disabled (this is displayed in the fellowship window).  It automatically re-enables if some of that vitality is used.\n       - Messages about when you receive, use, and deplete your vitality pools are given in chat.  Eventually these will be augmented and/or replaced with visual vitality indicators on your experience bars.\n    - You may now join a fellowship only once every 20 hours.\n\n\n    *** Items ***\n\n    - Larger bags can now be found in some House of Thule raid chests.

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.

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.  It can however still be dodged/parried/etc.\n- Berserker - Precise Blow has been increased in effectiveness.\n- Druid - Egress should now work as intended.\n- Druid - The Spirits of Nature ability has had its damage increased slightly.\n- Druid - Wall of Wind will now only hit NPC targets and should be constricted by line of sight.\n- Enchanter - Forceful Banishment has been made more... forceful.\n- Monk - Stunning Kick has been revamped and should now work as described.\n- Monk - Infusion of Thunder will now stack correctly with Heel of Kanji.\n- Monk - Eye Gouge and Crippling Strike have had their resist modifiers adjusted to function properly at their higher ranks.\n- Paladin - Blessing of Light will now correctly focus Silvered Fury.\n- Ranger - Mobs under the effect of Harmonious Arrow's harmony spell now have their awareness range reduced to 15 rather than 18.\n- Shadowknight - Hate's Attraction will no longer affect players.\n\n*** Miscellaneous ***\n\n- Updated pathing in Volska's Husk and Underquarry.\n- Corrected an issue that previously prevented NPCs from correctly calling for help when taking very low amounts of damage.\n- Fixed several grammar issues in Underquarry, Foundation, and Lichen Creep.\n- Fixed several resource leaks.\n- Fixed a thread-safety issue with non-\"original\" graphics memory modes.  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":"2010-01-13","effective_date":"2010-01-13","display_date":"January 13, 2010","title":"January 13, 2010","year":2010,"month":1,"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":"servers","label":"Servers"},{"slug":"expansions","label":"Expansions"}],"sections":["Here are the patch notes from today's patch","Items","Tradeskills","Quests & Events","Spells","AA","Achievements","Miscellaneous","UI","Previously Updated"],"change_count":48,"word_count":782,"summary":"Here are the patch notes from today's patch: Items *** The tradeskill made ceramic and Black Acrylia ornaments can now be traded on normal and Firiona Vie servers.

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 note that these notes may be updated before the update goes live! \n\n* * * Highlights * * *\n\n- Giants Giants Giants: Angered by Norrathian adventurers' blatant disregard for Dragonkind, Tzudani, Emissary of Veeshan, has called adventurers to battle Norrath's greatest and largest foes. Amongst these behemoths there are the giants themselves, foes of the children of Veeshan and one-time rulers of Norrath. Standing in your path will also be massive constructs built by some to protect their homes and by others to destroy the world. Regardless of their origin and purpose, these giants stand ready, unafraid of your tiny blades and feeble magic. Challenge them with your raid force or fight them with but a single group if you are feeling truly brave. Fight against the greatest \"big\" foes of Norrath, from the Ancient Cyclops to the powerful Lord Brekt. Seek out Tzudani, Emissary of Veeshan in the Plane of Knowledge and heed the call.\n\n- New Spam Filter: Added server-side SPAM filtering to reduce or eliminate bothersome noise in chat and in-game mail.\n\n- Poison Component Drops: Poison component drops have been increased, mostly at the higher levels.

Players who defeated all 20 dragons should remove their current Gold Plated Contact Spring and obtain a new abacus from the Distribution Facilitator in the Plane of Knowledge, as the rewards are now likely to be better. \n\n* * * Spells * * *\n\n- Removed regeneration messages from several recently added buffs.\n- Prolonged Destruction \"charges\" will no longer be consumed by spell procs or melee procs.\n- Promised Recuperation will no longer be overwritten by inferior promised healing spells.\n- The cast times on the Pure Wildmagic spells triggered by Wildmagic Strike will now match the cast times of Wildmagic Strike.\n- The pets summoned by Rank II and III of Minion of Sebilis will now come equipped with the appropriate mod items.\n- Changed the name of some of the common click effects to make the upgrade path clearer.\n- Circle of Life and Circle of Mana effects have had their level decay removed.\n- The Messenger Bane poisons have been given an extra tick of duration to make them more reliable.

Clicking the word (SPAM) in the chat window will display the filtered message.\n- You may also completely disable the display of SPAM flagged messages in your Options->Filters page.\n- Clicking someone's name in the chat window will bring up a menu that allows you to report what they said as either spam or not spam (in case the message was mis-flagged as spam). The information reported is used to refine the SPAM filter (it does not take effect immediately).\n- In-game Mail can also be filtered for SPAM.

In this mode you may see gray textures as things load.\n    Balanced memory usage--This mode tries to minimize the visibility of gray textures while still being fairly aggressive about unloading assents when memory usage goes up.\n    Most memory usage--This is the default mode. This mode loads all assets needed for a zone while you are zoning, but only loads what is needed for what is currently in the zone. This mode still consumed less than we used before the optimizations.\n    Original--Loads all assets as before the optimizations.

Lower Guk and Unrest group encounters kicked off on the 11th and end on the 25th as well. Enjoy the rest of the celebrations!\n\n*** Items ***\n\n- Added a missing heal focus to the Protective Gorget of the Deep.\n- Added Improved Parry/Block to several neck items that were missing it.\n- Applied new icons to the Beastlord epic 1.0 (Claws of the Savage Spirit).\n- Changed the displayed solvent on many destroyable augments to make it clear that they can be dissolved by the Augmentation Solvent.\n- Irae Faycite Shard: Ethereal Enhancement, Irae Faycite Shard: Klixcxyk's and Icesheet Casc., Irae Faycite Shard: Ethereal Burn and Irae Faycite Shard: Inizen's and Glacial Collapse should now properly focus the intended spells. A change has been made to all similar foci that should prevent a similar problem in the future.\n\n*** Spells ***\n\n- Triggered PC spells with large dummy values in cast time have had that time reduced or removed.\n\n*** AAs ***\n\n- The Berserker AAs Blur of Axes and Precision of Axes have been increased in power.\n- The Shadow Knight AA \"Cascading Theft of Life\" has been renamed \"Cascading Theft of Defense\" to better fit its function.\n- Harmonious arrow now correctly assigns hate to its user.\n\n*** Raids ***\n\n- Added Fractured Coeval Luminessence and Fractured Coeval Incandessence as a chance to drop from the chest that the mini bosses in discord tower drop. This also reduces the chance for stat and weapon augments from this chest.\n\n*** Tradeskills ***\n\n- The first set of changes to poison have been made. Strike of Ssraeshza poisons have a 10 second recast on them. Bite of the Shissar, Strike of the Shissar, Solusek's Burn and E'ci's Lament Poison remove about half the hate they give on each strike. Quellious' Trauma removes about half the hate it did before. Quellious' Trauma, Myrmidon's Sloth, Messenger's Bane, Fighter's Bane, Warlord's Bane, Archer's Bane and Monk's Bane have had their \"proc count\" increased so they last longer.\n- Messenger's Bane poisons will properly snare their target rather than giving them a speed boost.\n- The recipe for Thundering Blades Rk. II has been disabled. It should not yet be able to be created.\n\n*** Pets ***\n\n- Fixed some typos in the pet help window.\n- Fixed some problems with hot-keyed commands not displaying their state correctly.\n- A new \"regroup\" command has been added. This command is very similar to \"stop\" except when using \"regroup\" the pet will not only stop attacking, but will revert to either follow or guard depending on what is selected. This essentially mimics the old \"hold\" behavior. \"Regroup\" and \"stop\" are mutually exclusive. If you use \"regroup\" both sit and stop should turn off. If you use \"stop\" then \"regroup\" should turn off.\n\n*** Miscellaneous ***\n\n- Campfire summoning has been turned on for the following zones (note that all usual restrictions apply): Crystallos, Mansion, Qinimi, and Tipt.\n- Guild Banner summoning has been turned on for the following zones (note that all usual restrictions apply): Uqua, Tacvi, Qinimi, Tipt, Anguish, Demiplane of Blood, Deathknell - Tower of Dissonance, Crystallos (both normal and raid), Mansion (both normal and raid), Discord Raid and Discord Tower Raid.\n- Fixed a problem that was causing voice chat volume sliders to get stuck on the screen.\n- Revamped the way guild information is stored on the server to get around limitations on the maximum number of guilds. Some servers were hitting the max.\n- Fixed a problem with raid dumps that were made when the raid window was not visible.\n- The voice chat bar is now visible on login if your voice chat is active.\n- Fixed a problem with bard focuses that caused Singing and Instrument mastery to not work if the song was otherwise not focused by any item or effect.\n- Fixed a problem with guild creation that was causing it to fail when you tried to create a guild with a name whose beginning was a subset of an existing guild (e.g. creating \"Killer\" when \"Killers in the Mist\" already existed).\n- Fixed an issue with displayed ordering of marketplace items.\n\n- The EverQuest Team","content_hash":"c86d6cc6d1cc7c73600d1c9f358dbd36dba80d9a14c3d4cf2ad1dd11eeacfca0","source_files":["patches-2009-1.txt","patches_1999-2010_combined.txt"],"source_titles":["May 14, 2009"],"source_url":null,"source_urls":[],"occurrence_count":2,"source_occurrences":[{"occurrence_id":"33784ce36bd2e0b918b3766c11f584570456ff513ba07dc819dcf56ca854f63f","filename":"patches_1999-2010_combined.txt","adapter":"text","source_offset":1164125,"item_index":null,"heading":"May 14, 2009","source_url":null,"source_url_raw":null,"published":null,"source_kind":"text","excerpt":false,"year_inferred":false},{"occurrence_id":"255577a073b6f946ae1990cdbc15862e788e64400174eb93f114ad8f085a5609","filename":"patches-2009-1.txt","adapter":"text","source_offset":36406,"item_index":null,"heading":"May 14, 2009","source_url":null,"source_url_raw":null,"published":null,"source_kind":"text","excerpt":false,"year_inferred":false}],"year_inferred":false,"sequence":1,"slug":"2009-05-14-1","id":"2009-05-14-1"},{"patch_date":"2009-03-19","effective_date":"2009-03-19","display_date":"March 19, 2009","title":"March 19, 2009","year":2009,"month":3,"kind":"live","era":"EverQuest Live","expansion":"Seeds of Destruction","expansion_code":"seeds-of-destruction","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":"servers","label":"Servers"}],"sections":["Highlights","Quests & Events","NPC","Tradeskills","Pets","UI","Previously Updated"],"change_count":24,"word_count":647,"summary":"There was some emergency server downtime earlier today.

Most spawn rates were increased but some were reduced that were appearing too frequently.\n\n*** Tradeskills ***\n\n- Fixed the broken coffin poison bottle. Now it can make any NORMAL poison combine as well as the original coffin bottle combines.\n- The following spell research recipes now create a duplicate (tradable) scroll instead of the original (no-drop) scroll.

This is contrasted with the regular attack command which will force the pet to change targets (if focused or not). Qattack now simply adds the target NPC to the pet's hate list, so that it will attack that target at a later time when its other targets are dead.\n\n*** UI ***\n\n- Put separators back into raid window.

When opening the Guild Management Window (Alt + G) when you are not in a guild, you will be asked if you would like to create one. All existing guild naming rules still apply. Only one guild is permitted per server per account. Guilds cannot be created while in a shroud.\n\n- Pet Window Improvements: The functionality of the Pet Window has been improved by allowing players to customize each button individually. These changes also allow players to add commands that they pick up via AAs. We've also added some new commands including a pet hold command. (See UI: Pet Window Improvements below)\n\n- Enhanced Raid Window: We've updated the raid management window to allow for sorting and expedition / shared task management improvements. Also added AFK, dead, and out of zone status. (See UI: Enhanced Raid Window below)\n\n*** Items ***\n\n- Nakk's Enduring Bauble now looks just like the gem from a ring, instead of a ring.\n- The Durus Faycite Shard: Gorenaire's Chant of Frost, and Durus Faycite Shard: Talendor's Chant of Flame now increase the duration of their respective songs by 1 tick instead of increasing the damage.\n\n*** Spells ***\n\n- Cantata of Rodcet now increases HP and Mana regen by 61/70/75 and 50/58/62 for Ranks 1/2/3, up from 51/60/65 and 42/50/54\n- Fixed a problem with Performance resonance that was causing it to focus a number of effects that it shouldn't have.\n- Lowered the endurance cost on Wheel of Fists to 253/288/307 down from 316/360/384.\n- Lowered the endurance cost on Whorl of Fists to 308/351/374 down from 385/439/468.\n- Modified the stacking order of the Calanin's Synergy discipline to better stack with other similar abilities including the effect from Deceivers Blight Strike and other spells that use the same effect.\n- Talisman of the Stalwart scrolls can now be scribed by druids.\n- The combat proc granted by Arcane Arietta will now cause additional damage for bards based on their wind instrument mods. This only effects the procs for the bard herself, and not the rest of the group.\n- The endurance cost for Calanin's Synergy has been increased to 385/439/468 up from 308/351/374. The duration in the effect has been increased by 6 seconds.\n- The Twincast Self Buff spells are no longer focused by duration extension focuses.\n\n*** Tradeskills ***\n\n- Fixed a bug with the Pure sealed power-sources made via tradeskills. They were opening one tier behind where they should (so the Tier 1 took Tier 2 raid to open.) They should now open properly with the proper tier of content.\n- Fixed an issue with Dull, Murky and Foggy Sealed Energeian Orbs that could prevent them from opening properly.\n- The following spells created by spell research now create a duplicate scroll instead of the original scroll. The original scrolls are now no trade. This does mean that you may have a no trade version currently, unfortunately there is no reasonable solution for a refund that is not able to allow players to create infinite scrolls. This change is intended to prevent players from creating infinite scrolls for free.

(See UI: Enhanced Raid Window)\n- The Pet Window has received a revamp! (See UI: Pet Window Improvements)\n- Added chat window text output for users being invited to raids even when the raid confirmation popup is turned on.\n- Added a button in the options general tab that toggles display of pet owner names on pets.\n- Fixed a bug that sometimes caused two players to appear to share ownership of the same mercenary when they zoned simultaneously with unsuspended mercenaries.\n- You should no longer be spammed with focus effect messages when you have an active mercenary .\n- For custom UI creators, ListboxColumns can now have their own tooltips instead of just the Listbox.\n\n*** UI: Enhanced Raid Window ***\n\n- Updated the raid management window to allow for sorting and expedition / shared task management improvements. Also added AFK, dead, and out of zone status.\n- Created the /comparetaskraid (Shared Task - Raid) and /compareexpedraid (Expedition - Raid) commands to list the players that are not in both lists.\n- Updated the expedition window to allow for simplified raid and shared task invitations.\n- Updated the shared task window to allow for simplified raid and expedition invitations.\n- The group numbers in the raid window are now color coded in order to better differentiate between groups when sorting by group.\n- Column headers now each have their own tool tip.\n\n*** UI: Pet Window Improvements ***\n\n- You can now assign buttons to all pet commands in the pet window.\n- Pet target will be displayed under your pets hp bar so you will always know who your pet is attacking.\n- Added toggleable buttons throughout the pet UI for sit/stand, follow/guard, focus, hold, taunt, and spell hold.\n- Added new pet text based commands. You will now be able to toggle all states off or on, or simply toggle the state with a pet text based command. For example, /pet focus on, /pet focus off, and /pet focus.\n- Added a new pet attack command to switch your pet to attack the new target regardless of AA's or level; great for new and low level players. The old command will still exist as qattack.\n- Added a pet hold functionality.\n- New pet focus + pet hold functionality (call this pet state \"pet convergence\" ). Now, when you turn on both the focus and hold states, your pet will attack SPECIFICALLY what you want it to and when finished won't attack or aggro or do anything else.\n- Improved /pet back off. Fully clears the hate list and stops your pet from doing whatever it was doing before.\n- Pet follow is now on by default when entering zones.\n- Added the pet owner's name below the pet name text (i.e., \"Soandso's pet\").\n- When right clicking a pet button, commands not available to you are filtered out.\n- Added messages your pet will say when issued different commands to clarify the intended behavior.\n- The state of all pet buttons are now persisted across zoning and logging (except sit and follow that default to their appropriate settings when zoning).\n- The UI layout of the pet window is now stored across zoning and logging.\n- Integrated pet help has now been implemented and put into the EverQuest pet info window. Click the question mark next to the pet close box to access the pet help dialog.\n- When enchanter pets are summoned, they properly only have the Get Lost command, unless they have the special grant pet command SPA/AA.\n- Pet spell hold is now available as a command in the pet window.\n\n- New -\n\nEQUI_GuildCreationWindow.xml\n\n- Changed -\n\nEQUI.xml\nEQUI_DynamicZoneWnd.xml\nEQUI_HotButtonWnd.xml\nEQUI_OptionsWindow.xml\nEQUI_RaidWindow.xml\nEQUI_TaskWnd.xml\nSIDL.xml\n\n- The EverQuest Team","content_hash":"8eb51ee6df363732662032d5a160007117e208f1adb317f9e7378c626830962a","source_files":["patches-2009-1.txt","patches_1999-2010_combined.txt"],"source_titles":["March 12, 2009"],"source_url":null,"source_urls":[],"occurrence_count":2,"source_occurrences":[{"occurrence_id":"94ac7002da258fc88dcf1c1bf5c427af5b873b1a29cb626c56bb1d1b137c7219","filename":"patches_1999-2010_combined.txt","adapter":"text","source_offset":1144287,"item_index":null,"heading":"March 12, 2009","source_url":null,"source_url_raw":null,"published":null,"source_kind":"text","excerpt":false,"year_inferred":false},{"occurrence_id":"a7c9a18211677f441de7dd8717bc849f07c22f3e91ee717515cf6f3ed017a3d2","filename":"patches-2009-1.txt","adapter":"text","source_offset":16568,"item_index":null,"heading":"March 12, 2009","source_url":null,"source_url_raw":null,"published":null,"source_kind":"text","excerpt":false,"year_inferred":false}],"year_inferred":false,"sequence":1,"slug":"2009-03-12-1","id":"2009-03-12-1"},{"patch_date":"2009-02-26","effective_date":"2009-02-26","display_date":"February 26, 2009","title":"February 26, 2009","year":2009,"month":2,"kind":"live","era":"EverQuest Live","expansion":"Seeds of Destruction","expansion_code":"seeds-of-destruction","categories":[{"slug":"bug-fixes","label":"Bug Fixes"},{"slug":"quests-events","label":"Quests & Events"},{"slug":"ui","label":"UI"},{"slug":"servers","label":"Servers"}],"sections":["A hotfix from the patcher","Hotfix","Notice"],"change_count":6,"word_count":154,"summary":"A hotfix from the patcher: Hotfix *** Addressed reset issues in Discord Tower events 4 and 5.

When you enter a no-levitate zone, you will receive a message that the levitation effect has been disabled. Additional effects provided by the buffs (if any) will remain enabled.

He will also now drop some loot if you break him up enough.\n- Merchants that sell class XIV Distillates now also sell Distillate of Spirituality XIV and Distillate of Replenishment XIV.\n- The Bear Denmother will now show up in Oceangreen Hills to avenge the death of her kin.\n- The creatures called Malign and The Blight Wisp can now show up at night near the Village of Oceangreen.\n- Veltarik has been seen roaming the halls of Korafax.\n\n*** Quests ***\n\n- Ostorm in the Temple of Solusek Ro will properly reset your specializations regardless of how high your skill is.\n\n*** Raids ***\n\n- Discord Raids no longer require discord missions to participate, only the requester must do the missions.\n\n*** Tradeskills ***\n\n- Added a recipe for making Timeless Hunter’s Sausage that uses Rock Salt instead of Coarse Salt.\n- Created research recipes for the following missing spells, tomes and songs: Song: Denon's Dirge of Destruction Rk.

Past kills will work to unlock these items.\n\n*** Zones ***\n\n- Banners can no longer be used to teleport into Discord Raids. They can still be placed for stats.\n\n*** Mercenaries ***\n\n- Fixed a problem with the tank merc AI that caused the merc (when set to main tank) to get in a loop trying to bazu bellow its target, - when a number of other targets nearby are mezzed cause it to not actually attack.\n- Mercenary healers will now be much more interested in healing you when you are out of combat.\n\n*** Miscellaneous ***\n\n- Bard instrument mods are now using the focus system. All bard instruments now have a focus effect that amounts to the same bonus the instrument was getting previously. The display is somewhat different. As an example, prior to this change, a percussion mod of 28 was a 2.8x multiplier on effects. This will now be displayed as a focus effect like \"Percussion Resonance 18\" that gives a 180% boost to percussion. This is equivalent to the original 2.8x multiplier.\n- Bard songs can now be capped individually and a system has been put in place to allow much better scaling of bard song effects and focuses in the future.\n- Fixed an issue where players were getting kill credit even though they did not out-damage NPCs that were attacking the mob.\n- Eye of Zomm can now be cast while on a mount.\n- Fixed some issues with players being unable to get out of water when they have low swimming skill.\n- Recast shader should now be visible in the potion belt window.\n- Fixed a few bugs dealing with corpse targeting using the group window.\n- Added a hover over \"percentage\" tooltip to the AA Exp bar in the inventory window.\n- Made some changes to the code introduced in the last live update that reset your spell timers when a spell fails to land.\n- Fixed an issue where pet buffs would appear to be counting down while in the guild lobby.\n- Some versions of Zebuxoruk will now sell Temporal Polymorphic Cells. These cells will transform a Luminescence to an Incandescence and vice versa.\n- Tavid Dennant in the guild lobby has a limited amount of items that players can use to alter their Seeds of Destruction Armor. He does not sell these like the quest items he holds, but will give them to you if you talk to him about [items].\n- Zebuxoruk now sells purity augments for chronobines.\n- Fixed a problem with shared banks that caused items to be lost on the Firiona Vie server (mostly).\n- Buffs that have a levitation effect are no longer stripped when you enter zones marked as no-levitate. When you enter a no\n-levitate zone, you will receive a message that the levitation effect has been disabled. Additional effects provided by the buffs (if any) will remain enabled. This means that levitation buffs that have other effects connected to them (i.e. Spirit of the Eagle's speed boost effect) can now be used in a no-levitate zone.\n- Fixed a problem with reagent preservation focuses that cause them to only preserve one reagent instead of preserving all the reagents requires for the spell if it required more than one.

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.

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.

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":"2008-12-09","effective_date":"2008-12-09","display_date":"December 9, 2008","title":"December 9, 2008","year":2008,"month":12,"kind":"live","era":"EverQuest Live","expansion":"Seeds of Destruction","expansion_code":"seeds-of-destruction","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":"expansions","label":"Expansions"}],"sections":["Highlights","Items","Spells","Quests","Raids","NPCs","Tradeskills","AA","Zones","Mercenaries","Miscellaneous","Previously Hotfixed","UI"],"change_count":162,"word_count":3793,"summary":"Here is the patch message from this morning.

It's a big one, so get settled:\n\n*** Highlights *** \n\n- Frostfell: As the air starts to chill and the frost begins to cover the ground, the season of Frostfell begins. No holiday season is perfect though and a couple of your fellow Norrathians need your help to make Frostfell a merry holiday for all! Visit your favorite major city and the Plane of Knowledge to find out how you can help. The season of Frostfell will embrace Norrath from December 9th through January 8th. Various events new and old will be available at different intervals throughout the season. So make sure you join in the fun before Frostfell is over for another year. \n\n- New Hot zones: The following Zones are now \"Hot\" with additional experience and item rewards. Additionally Franklin Teek in Plane of Knowledge will be happy to remind you of the current Hot Zones! \n\nLevel 20: Stonebrunt Mountains \nLevel 25: Crystal Caverns \nLevel 30: The Overthere \nLevel 35: Mons Letalis \nLevel 40: Great Divide \nLevel 45: Nagafens Lair \nLevel 50: Plane of Innovation \nLevel 55: Sshraeshza Temple \nLevel 60: Crypt of Decay \nLevel 65: Stoneroot Falls \nLevel 70: Valdeholm \nLevel 75: Dreadspire Keep\n\n*** Items *** \n\n- Added backstab skill modifiers to Seeds of Destruction Piercing weapons. \n- Adjusted the nomenclature for some SoF items with corruption damage foci. The focus percentages did not change, only the names. \n- Altered the required level for the procs on the \"fine weapons\" to match the required level of the symbol instead of the recommended level. The exceptions to this are the Blessed symbols which require level 11. \n- Changed the appearance of the player-crafted \"fine\" long hammers. \n- Changed the focus effect on the Gleaming Ursine Fang to match the focus on the base item. \n- Class-specific armor for Clerics, Druids, and Shaman has had healing foci added to match the SoD armor. Clerics and Shaman will now have healing foci on their arms, while Druids will have healing foci on their wrists. \n- Druadic Frostlinked Leggings and Necrotic Chillsteel Greaves have had a detrimental spell haste focus added to match the other elemental leggings. \n- Fixed an issue with the Familiar of the Emerald Jungle that was causing it to behave differently from other familiars. \n- Many Elaborate Defiant weapons have been upgraded slightly to follow the group item changes. \n- Many SoF and all SoD group weapons have received a damage upgrade. Please be aware that some of these items are still being adjusted and may change further in a subsequent patch. \n- SoD weapons with elemental damage did not all have the element that was intended. These have been changed to the intended element. \n- The Bloodreaper has changed appearance and effect. \n- The click effect on Darkened Shining Metallic Robes now uses its own recast timer and will not interfere with other effects. \n- The Crystal Dewdrop will now have some benefit even when it is not raining or snowing. \n- The Dagger of Darkflaying's appearance has changed. \n- A new set of Defiant armor has appeared. \n\n*** Spells *** \n\n- Corrected an issue that was causing the focused versions of pets summoned by the beastlord spell \"Spirit of Hoshkar\" to take more melee damage than they were intended to. \n- Dropdown category for Spell Damage and Haste combination songs is now \"Haste/Spell Focus\" instead of either or both. \n- Paladin and Shadowknight damage reduction disciplines should now stack with all other spells that use the same effect. This change applies to the \"Armor of \" and \" Carapace\" lines. \n- Range on Rogue targeted abilities has been increased. \n- Range on the Necromancer's Withering Decay and Enchanter's Dominating Aura effects has been increased. \n- Tempest Blade is now an aura named Aura of Rodcet that mimics the functionality of the Cantata of Rodcet. \n- The damaging proc effect from Bard's Tempest Blade song has been consolidated with Arcane Arietta. \n- The global cooldown for spells previously set between 1.5 to 2.5s has been reduced to 1.5s. \n- The hate reduction effect from Mindfreeze should no longer have stacking issues with other effects. \n- The Malo and Tash lines should no longer interfere with out of combat regeneration. \n- The Mindfreeze hate reduction effect will now stack with the Bazu Bellow line. \n- The Necromancer SoF robe clicky now spawns a short duration pet instead of bestowing casting haste. Higher tier versions of the click increase the pet's lifespan. \n- The Rogue SoF breastplate clicky has had its average damage increased slightly. Higher tier versions of the effect now increase the damage done per proc, instead of the increasing the effect's duration. The duration on both versions is now 2 minutes. \n- The Wizard SoF robe clicky will now work on higher level spells, albeit at a reduced effectiveness. \n- Type 3 augmentation bonuses should no longer benefit additional spells. For example: Icesheet Cascade / Klixcxyk's Fire improving the damage of Ethereal Conflagration. \n\n*** Quests *** \n- Addressed some faction issues that were causing NPCs in the Safe Passage mission to assist the wrong group. \n- Fixed a bug with Captain Tillin in Oceangreen Hills. He will now always give out his tasks in order. \n- Fixed the reset issues with the task in Old Bloodfields called Supply Interruption. If the task is not completed within 20 minutes of the flags being placed, the event will clean up and the task is failed. \n- Guards in missions in Toskirakk and Kaesora will not be so easily fooled by hiding from them. \n- Heralds in each of Seeds of Destruction's five eras will now offer a new quest. Each day the heralds will select one mission and grant players a bonus for completing that mission, as long as they have accepted the new quest from the Heralds. \n- Killing Silliv` Host will now properly update the task \"The Cabilisian Trade Route.\" \n- Malaurin V`Kon will now reset much more quickly after a failure of the Disruptive Influences task. \n- Modified the quest Favors of the Hopelost in City of Dranik to remove unwarranted faction hits. \n- Navrn K`Val, Thaliv T`Kysh and Vyntal Zintha now carry the false orders. \n- People on the \"Let my people go\" task must now complete the first two elements before speaking with Lymrit again to complete the task. \n- Reduced the number of Army of Light Longswords needed to complete the Take Everything task in Bloody Kithicor. \n- Reduced the number of Poachers that need to be killed for Poach the Poachers in Oceangreen Hills to 4. \n- The necromancers in the Drake Scourge task will update the group's task more reliably now. \n- The quest \"Disruptive Influences\" is now much less likely to get out of sync, so should be much easier to complete. Malaurin V`Kon will also only wait for a quest update for 20 minutes at a time. If this time elapses Malaurin V`Kon will go home, resetting the task. \n- The Seeds of Destruction Quest buy back merchant now uses Chronobines instead of Doubloons. He will also buy any of his quest items from you for 1 Chronobine. \n\n*** Raids *** \n\n- Added an additional reward to the Field of Scale raid \"Jaled`Dar's Sacrifice\" \n- Emperor Ganak has decided to try a new tactic for using his spells during the Jaled`Dar's Sacrifice raid. \n- Fixed an issue that would not allow players to get the second Rathe Council raid. \n- Upon completion, the Fall of Toskirakk event should now show \"The Fall of Toskirakk\" as the lockout name instead of \"Unknown Event\". \n\n*** NPCs *** \n\n- Adjusted the spawn rate for rare NPCs in the Rathe Council Chambers. \n- Rathework guardians have moved out of the inner sanctum of the Rathe Council Chambers. \n- Removed the remaining unkillable NPCs from the Safe Passage mission. \n- The Dragorn defending Dranik have become strangely weaker. It appears the Muramite forces may have gained the upper hand. \n\n*** Tradeskills *** \n\n- \"Fine\" Inured one handed, non-piercing weapons, and Exalted Nimble symbols had a change in their damage to fix an upgrade path issue. The damage will be very close to what it currently is, just distributed differently. \n- Added Paladins and Shadow Knights to the \"Fine\" maces made via tradeskills. \n- All \"fine\" elegant and stalwart weapons, along with their corresponding sublime and venerable symbols, received an upgrade in overall damage. \n- All spells and tomes that are tradable on regular servers should now be tradable on the Firiona Vie server. \n- Altered the recipes for Wishka's Favor Rk. II and Tome of Aura of Draconic Runes Rk. II. \n- Baublie Diggs, outside of West Freeport, now will give a quest to any researcher, no matter their class. \n- Changed Faceted Blue Diamond to Mounted Blue Diamond in the recipe for Fizzlesprocket's Forceful Discharging Apparatus. \n- Chronal Resonance Dust has become more common. \n- Created a new instruction book for research that can be found on some research vendors. \n- Immaculate Silk is now tradable on Firiona Vie. \n- Made appropriate changes to the following research recipes: Spell: Aura of the Grove, Tome of Crippling Strike, Spell: Summon Aenda's Trinkets, Spell: Summon Plate of the Elements, Spell: Summon Elemental Armaments, Spell: Nectar of Pain, Spell: Spear of Ro, Spell: Rathe's Strength, Spell: Grave Pact, Spell: Death Rune, Spell: Dark Rune, Spell: Spirit of the Stoic One Rk. II, Spell: Ancestral Bargain Rk. II, Spell: Blacktalon Bite Rk. II, Spell: Terror of Vergalid Rk. II, Spell: Venin Rk. II, Spell: Elemental Symbiosis Rk. II, Spell: Shield of the Crystalwing Rk. II, Tome of Tendon Cleave Rk. II, Spell: Silent Piety, and Pack Shrew (added prayer writing kit to shaman version) \n- Modified the recipe for \"Spell: Tortugone's Drowse Rk. II\" to make it more properly fit the spell research system. \n- Some \"fine\" simple weapons received an upgrade in damage. \n- The Drink of Timeless Energy is now made with simmering fairy drake dust, and can also be made with any of the elemental spirit dusts (earth, air, fire, water). \n- The level 69 Dragons of Norrath spells and tomes created through research are now tradable on all servers. \n- The Researcher Charm can now be used by all classes. \n- The slot 12 seals from Crystallos have been made to fit in the seven visible armor slots, and are no longer agnostic only. \n\n*** AA *** \n\n- A new AA has been added to the Seeds of Destruction List for Bards - Sionachie's Crescendo. \n- Adjusted the slot order on the Ranger AA Group Guardian of the Forest to prevent a stacking conflict with other spells that have a Chance Spell. \n- Adjusted the spell casting range of Fog of Memories (Enchanter AA). \n- Adjusted the stacking of Second Spire of Enchantment (Enchanter AA). \n- Re-enabled the SoD AA Extended Ingenuity. Bards, Monks, Warriors, Rogues and Berserkers will now be able to purchase this AA. \n- The AA Fortified Entanglement (Wizard) now requires the purchase of Hastened Root 4 to resolve a conflict between these two AAs, making your roots less reliable if you had not purchased both. \n- The heal over time component of the highest ranks of Lay on Hands will now go to the short buff window. \n- The Ranger AA Hastened Trueshot will now focus the Sureshot Discipline. \n- The Rogue AA Sleight of Hand should now stack with the Envenomed Blades AA. \n- Veil of Mindshadow spells will now have a wear off message. \n\n*** Zones *** \n\n- Replaced the missing door on the merchant vs. merchant ship instances in the Buried Sea. \n- Savet Ironstove now properly advertises what he sells. \n\n*** Mercenaries *** \n\n- Healer mercenaries will give less priority to healing shamen that are not flagged as the main tank role and that are not being directly attacked. This should allow them to be a bit friendlier with regards to cannibalize. \n- Mercenaries should be friendlier to feign splitting techniques. If the puller feigns in camp before the merc has a chance to react, the merc will not attack the mobs hostile only to the puller. \n- Mercenaries will no longer attack enemies that are currently engaging targets outside their group (or group's pets). \n- The camp radius now scales somewhat dynamically in that if your group is widely spaced, the radius around the group's center considered \"in camp\" to the AI is increased to avoid a situation where you've pulled an NPC past one of the group's members, but the AI still does not react to it. The minimum camp radius from group center is still 50feet as it was before. \n- Healer mercenaries will no longer cast heal spells on themselves that have an invulnerability component, as the AI was never tuned to do this at the right time, and it leads to problems with the mercs appearing to be unresponsive. \n- Increased the timer for how often a merc will attempt to resurrect a corpse when the res is not accepted from 2 minutes to 5 minutes. \n- The ability to suspend/un-suspend a mercenaries is now locked when in combat and when the player still has a cool-down timer on PvP servers. For standard rule servers, the cool-down timer still does not factor into this, suspend/un-suspend can be done immediately after the hatelist is cleared. \n- Tank mercenaries will now default to following their owner (or group) when there are no melee targets even when in combat. \n- Mercenary Clerics should no longer cast their spell haste buff on classes that have no mana. \n- Mercenaries now appear with a ':' before their name in the tracking window, similar to pets. \n- Fixed a bug that allowed a mercenary to keep the effects of an aura permanently after the aura was no longer present. \n- Fixed a problem that caused some players that zoned slowly to not be able to unsuspend their mercenary after they zoned. \n- Mercenary healers will now only dispel buffs on enemies when in aggressive stance. Since aggressive stance isn't currently in the game (though it may return at some point) healer mercs will no longer be dispelling for now. \n- Mercenaries should no longer become bald after various illusions. \n- Added a new \"Assist\" stance for Journeyman and above tank mercs that allows them to operate in essentially a DPS mode. If the tank merc is in Assist stance and not designated the main tank it will not use any off-tanking behavior like it does when in Aggressive stance. It will attack whatever the main assist is targeting (or whatever it last attacked it there is no main assist) and continue to do so until the main assist switches targets. If in Assist mode and designated the main tank the tank merc should behave the same as it does in Aggressive stance. \n- Fixed a problem where if you had maxed out your buff slots, healer mercenaries would no longer heal you. \n- Fixed a problem that caused the AI to be blind to damage taken from certain spells like Blood Magic or Divine Arbitration. \n- Fixed a problem where mercenaries were counting toward the hit limit for rain type spells, causing them to have fewer pulses when in the area of effect. \n- Merc healers will no longer cure charmed pets. \n- Mercenary \"in camp\" radius is no longer a sphere. It is now more of a disc to help with problems of mercs healing, etc. when a puller is on a floor above or below. \n- Merc healer AI will no longer cast cure spells if somone in the group is at lower than 50% health. \n- Mercs will no longer move out of melee range of their target if they are casting a beneficial spells (heals, buffs). This should cut down on a fair amount of unnecessary movement. \n- Mercs should no longer run off to follow someone across the zone when their owner is set as puller. They will only follow another group member other than their owner if that other group member is within their awareness radius (about 200 ft.). \n- Fixed an issue with out of combat healing AI doing a lot of over healing. \n- PvP spell resist and duration values are now used when hostile spells are exchanged between a merc and a PC (for non PvP servers this only applies to the Arena). \n- Fixed an issue with merc suspend timers counting down too fast if a custom UI had multiple instances of the timer display. \n- Fixed a problem where mercenaries would go bald when removing an illusion and zoning. \n- After carefully watching mercenaries since SoD launch some balance changes are being made: \n-- You will no longer be able to suspend or unsuspend your mercenary while you are in combat. \n-- Journeyman mercenaries will now cast 96% resurrection. Apprentice mercenaries are limited to 90% res. \n-- Increased the stats of the Tank Mercenaries starting at the Journeyman tier. The values are tuned to be less than what an equivalently geared player would be but is higher than previous values for various mitigation and avoidance stats useful for a tank. \n\n*** Miscellaneous *** \n\n- Corrected a few Stability issues. \n- Implemented new Hot Zones! Franklin Teek in Plane of Knowledge will be happy to remind you of the current Hot Zones. \n- Modified the pathing in the old commons zone. \n- Fixed a bug that was causing power sources to only be drained when out of combat. Now they only drain while in combat instead. \n- The NPC buy/sell/bank window will no longer disappear when the game client is re-sized. \n- 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- Rathework guardians have moved out of the inner sanctum of the Rathe Council Chambers. \n- Guards in missions in Toskirakk and Kaesora will not be so easily fooled by hiding from them. \n- Players can now decline a group invite when they own a mercenary. \n- Fixed a problem that caused player traps (e.g., fadelure, fire rune, bonestitch fetish) to trigger on pets/mounts/mercs, causing all kinds of havoc. \n- The incorrect boosts to HP/mana/endurance have been brought back in line with what they should have been. Please see other posts on this subject for more information. \n- Fixed a bug that caused stun effects to wear off the moment mez effects did. This meant that if you stunned a mezzed mob, it would wake up immediately. Now it will not wake up until the stun wears off. \n- Fixed a bug that caused certain spells that triggered casting of more spells (like Spectralside and Unity of Spirits) to overwrite each other even though that was not intended. \n- Power sources will once again change the color of the affected stats in that slot. \n- The potion belt now conveys the cool down timers on potions. \n- The Emerald Sokokar will now behave like other familiars. \n- NPC Strikethrough will no longer penetrate defensive disciplines like Weapon Shield, Deflection, Deftdance, etc. \n- Fixed a client crash for the quest Arachnophobia. \n- Fixed an issue with proximity aggro. \n- Fixed a problem with certain AAs with illusion components that allowed them to be used with no reuse timer if you had another illusion on you. \n- Fixed a client crash when your pet got more than 30 effects on it. \n- Corrected an issue that caused guilded characters to be forcably placed in the guild voice channel upon zoning. \n- Changed the way charges are deducted from consumable click items. Now, if the spell on the item is beneficial and it does not land, the charge will not be consumed. \n- Drakkin should now revert to a walk/run animation after dismounting. \n\n*** Previously Hotfixed *** \n\n- Added the rank XIV potions to the appropriate vendors. \n- The Dragorn in Kuua have become strangely weaker.

This rift leads to a bleak prophecy of the end of existence. The world of Norrath lies in ruins. The planet has shattered into millions of shards, spinning in a silent void around the rapidly blackening star of Ro.\n\nIn the wreckage on a small shard of the world, a lone figure sits quietly tending a small seedling growing between the rocks. The lone figure is none other than the fallen god Zebuxoruk. \n\nZebuxoruk is certainly insane, but has a unique insight into the current state of the world and possibly might hold the knowledge to guide adventurers in the quest to prevent the destruction of Norrath. Only he can direct adventurers towards specific moments in time where the armies of Discord were able to disrupt the timeline. \n\nIf they are able to stop the forces of Discord, the destruction in The Void will slowly be repaired. If not, all hope will be lost. \n\n- Level Cap Increase: Players can now achieve level 85. New high level item sets, new Alternate Advancement ability lines, new spells, and new skill caps come with this increase. \n\n- New Content: New themed realms for adventurers to explore including Oceangreen, Bloody Kithicor, Field of Bone, Invasion of Earth, Kuua, and Discord. Travel through the rift in Time 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- Mercenaries: Mercenaries are NPCs for hire that will aid adventurers in their heroic endeavors. Their levels and abilities will scale appropriately and they will think and act for themselves with limited player guidance. They are designed for extra support or extra muscle in PvE encounters. \n\nUnlike player pets, these NPCs are not directly controllable by players, though the player can give them general orders, but rather function like a normal party member including taking up a group slot and taking a share of the experience. \n\nMercenary Liaisons can be found in all starting cities and will allow you to hire mercenaries based on their race. The Liaisons within the Plane of Knowledge and Oceangreen Village will allow you to hire mercenaries of any player race. These merchants can be found using the Find ability. \n\nBefore purchasing a mercenary be sure to read the descriptions, cost value, and restrictions. There are different levels and tiers available. Some mercenaries may not available until you have completed certain content but there are some apprentice and journeyman ones available to all. \n\nThere are two classes of Mercenaries available - Tank and Healer. \n\nHealer Mercenary: Healer mercenaries prefer to heal their owner and others in the group rather than engage directly in combat. These mercenaries can also resurrect players upon death. \n\nTank Mercenary: Tank mercenaries prefer to melee. They will taunt if it is set to the main tank role. Though it will still attack and behave as a secondary tank if it is not set as main tank. \n\nMercenaries can be suspended like a pet. There are some zones that will automatically suspend your mercenaries upon entering the zone. \n\n*** Live Highlights *** \n\n- New Statue in Guild Hall: As a part of SOE's EverQuest and EverQuest II Living Legacy celebration that took place this summer, SOE and the Legends of Norrath team searched for two enthusiastic players who have what it takes to be immortalized in their favorite MMOs! Everyone was invited to submit their photos for this special contest. Out of all the submissions, Khyandys Aramyndan of the Altruistic Valorians guild on the Erollisi Marr server was selected as the winner for EverQuest!

If the invitation is accepted, the two groups will merge together to form one group. This 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- Group Window Enhancements: The following changes have been made to improve the Group Window - We've added mana and endurance gauges for group members. We've added a Group Roles infrastructure. When right-clicking on a member of the group, a leader will now have the roles sub-menu for role administration. If currently the leader of a group, right-clicking the player's health / mana / stamina window will also show the same role administration menu. We also added in the /grouproles command. A group role indicator was also added to the Player Info window.\n\n- Target Window Enhancements: The following changes have been made to improve the Target Window - The target window will now display the buffs on target players, pets, and in the future mercenaries. The Inspect Buffs leadership ability is still needed to view NPC buffs. The target's buff timers displays in hours, minutes, seconds. We've added the ability to remove buffs from yourself, your pet, and in the future mercenaries from the target window. The ability to block buffs on you and your pet has also been added to the target window. The Target Window is now resizable.\n\n- More Firiona Vie Character Slots: We've extended the amount of character slots available on the Firiona Vie server to 3 characters.\n\n- Message to Custom UI Users: Due to the amount of changes being made to the user interface with this game update, custom UI users are advised to switch to the default before attempting to log in or if you experience difficulties when logging in.\n\n\n*** Fan Faire Requests ***\nThese changes were made due to some of the feedback received at the 2008 Las Vegas Fan Faire.\n\n-Added the ability for players to target nearest corpse and cycle through the nearest corpses via hotkeys. These will need to be set in the options menu to be used. \n-Increased the range of emotes to match the range of say. \n-Fixed an issue with damage shield mitigation on items. \n-/target will now target the player instead of their familiar, as long as the player is within a reasonable distance of their familiar. \n- We now display all bind points for a player when using /charinfo.\n\n\n*** Spells ***\n\n- A new resurrection spell has been added for Druids and Shaman. Wanderer Astobin and Mystic Abomin in the Plane of Knowledge library have the scroll for sale. The spell returns 90% of a player's lost experience and can only be used while out of combat.\n\n\n*** AA ***\n\n- Removed the group leadership AA Designate Main Assist since this functionality is given to all groups through the new Group Role system. Leadership AAs spent on this ability have been refunded in the form of regular AAs.\n- Certain AA's that added extra riposte chances will no longer cause your non-rogue enemies to backstab you.\n\n\n*** Quest & Events ***\n\n- Monks should no longer get left behind after completing the Seventh Hammer portion of their Epic quest.\n- Paladins should no longer get left behind after completing the Mujaki the Devourer event for their Epic quest.\n\n\n*** Miscellaneous ***\n\n- Items and coin are no longer left on a corpse upon death. The items will remain equipped and in their respective containers.\n- Spells will now remain memorized on a character upon death.\n- Players should now be able to equip items for which they don't meet the required level. In the inventory window, the item will be highlighted in yellow if the required level is not met. No benefits will be granted from this item other than being able to equip it.\n- Added the concept of revive effects. When you respawn, you will receive negative effects for a while to compensate for having all your equipment and spells still memorized.\n- /target will now choose PCs over NPCs when using a partial name.\n- If you have a familiar buff but no familiar, it should no longer destroy any other pets you have when you remove the buff.\n- All classes now keep their familiar buffs when the familiar is killed or dismissed, not just wizards.\n- Fixed a problem with familiars for pet classes. If you have a pet, then summon a familiar, then zone, it will now keep your pet properly with only the familiar buff.\n- Fixed some problems with the muted friends list for voice chat.\n- Corrected a few issues with group and raid management functions.\n- Groups are now somewhat persistent. If you log out and log back in you will still be in your group. Offline players should still be able to be kicked out of groups.\n- Fixed a problem with /hidecorpse looted where the client and zone could get out of sync and keep you from looting for a while after that.\n- Added /hidecorpse npc which works just like /hidecorpse all except it only hides NPC corpses.\n- Drakkin rogues will now sneak at the correct speed when over level 50.\n- Added in Group Roles infrastructure. When right-clicking on a member of the group, a leader will now have the roles sub-menu for role administration. If currently the leader of a group, right-clicking the player's health / mana / stamina window will also show the same role administration menu. Also, added in the /grouproles command. A group role indicator was also added to the Player Info window.\n- Group members in other zones will now be notified when their group member (that previously logged off) logs back in (grey when they're offline, white when they're online). Their name in the group window changes color as indicated for online/offline status.\n\n\n*** Voice Chat ***\n\n- Slash versions of the commands are effective on playername for the channel you are in and only if you are the moderator (raid/guild/group leader)\n- Unban only works via slash command since there the banned player is no longer in the channel and therefore no longer available to click on.\n- /voicechat unban playername\n-Unban only works to unban playername in the channel you are currently in, and only if you are the moderator (raid/guild/group leader)\n\n\n*** UI ***\n\nSeveral changes have been made regarding the design of user interface windows. Some of the changes are noted below:\n\n- The group leader will now be displayed in a different color in the group window and player window. This will work in addition to /groupleader to find out who the group leader is.\n- Updated the pet window to display timers in hours, minutes, seconds like the buff window.\n- \"Caster:\" in the buff info window will now display the user name. Also, if there is no caster information available, the \"Caster:\" line should not appear.\n- Added the ability to click on a group member and target out of zone / link dead group members. Using the function keys by default should also bring up the players in the target window.\n- Invite, follow and disband/decline buttons are no longer required in the group window.\n- Modified the spell gem window to auto-resize based on the number of spell gems activated via Mnemonic Retention.\n- Added the ability when using custom UI's to target out-of-zone group members by clicking on their EQType's gauge.\n- Fixed a bug seen in custom UI's where the spell name in the buff and short term buff windows would be \"Unknown Spell\" when there was no buff in that slot.\n- In the group window, the gauge size can now be used by custom UI modifiers to set the size for gauges instead of having to change the background size.\n\n- New -\n\nEQUI_MercenaryManageWnd.xml\nEQUI_MercenaryInfoWnd.xml\nEQUI_MercenaryMerchantWnd.xml\nEQUI_TopLevelScreens.xml\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\nEQUI_TargetWindow.xml\nEQUI_BreathWindow.xml\nEQUI_CastingWindow.xml\nEQUI_CombatAbilityWnd.xml\nEQUI_EQMainWnd.xml\nEQUI_CompassWnd.xml\nEQUI_HotButtonWnd.xml\nEQUI_LeadershipWnd.xml\nEQUI_PetInfoWindow.xml\nEQUI_TrainWindow.xml\nEQUI_Inventory.xml\n\n\n- The EverQuest Team","content_hash":"27ade6288903da8300c2d7fb60f4cb6c37ee1ccd25fd4905943555ef06d3e396","source_files":["patches-2008-2.txt","patches_1999-2008_combined.md","patches_1999-2010_combined.txt"],"source_titles":["October 7, 2008"],"source_url":null,"source_urls":[],"occurrence_count":3,"source_occurrences":[{"occurrence_id":"f4a307eba191366d68f14cbc1fd1c41409ba6846d85e82a9e9cf33bccd08147f","filename":"patches_1999-2008_combined.md","adapter":"markdown","source_offset":1044261,"item_index":null,"heading":"October 7, 2008","source_url":null,"source_url_raw":null,"published":null,"source_kind":"markdown","excerpt":false,"year_inferred":false},{"occurrence_id":"844cfc3beb8851d4b4b75da2ddeac7956394d88e895bbc19ed14d8df8f0686d8","filename":"patches_1999-2010_combined.txt","adapter":"text","source_offset":1069368,"item_index":null,"heading":"October 7, 2008","source_url":null,"source_url_raw":null,"published":null,"source_kind":"text","excerpt":false,"year_inferred":false},{"occurrence_id":"4958f9108a5dc968b799b68561a5d1a50449faa268cdcf7a44e1cc85c58eccad","filename":"patches-2008-2.txt","adapter":"text","source_offset":27843,"item_index":null,"heading":"October 7, 2008","source_url":null,"source_url_raw":null,"published":null,"source_kind":"text","excerpt":false,"year_inferred":false}],"year_inferred":false,"sequence":1,"slug":"2008-10-07-1","id":"2008-10-07-1"},{"patch_date":"2008-09-30","effective_date":"2008-09-30","display_date":"September 30, 2008","title":"September 30, 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":"ui","label":"UI"},{"slug":"servers","label":"Servers"}],"sections":["Items","Spells","Upcoming UI Changes"],"change_count":5,"word_count":435,"summary":"The Tides of Anachronism All across Norrath and beyond, the boundaries between past and present and between parallel realities seem to be fraying.

Our time is very short! Time is ticking and our doom may have arrived! As it passes, time takes with it portions of our lives. Well, your lives. And now it threatens to take all of our lives. Powers of chaos and destruction are taking their time, taking our time! Go quickly, time is so very short.\"\n\nMeanwhile, over in the Dreadlands, a retired scholar named Deckarn Mystglade is seeking someone to help keep him from losing his mind.\n\nA few years back when the Plane of Time was first breached by Norrathian adventurers, Deckarn warned his fellow scholars that interfering with the realm of time would only lead to disaster. After continuously trying to prophesize his unproven theories, he was forcibly requested to retire. Since then, Deckarn has been a bit unsure of anything around him.\n\nOver the past few weeks, Deckarn has been feeling a strange shift in time and began to have visions of epic battles, re-building, corruption, decay, and war. Uncertain of himself, he needs someone to investigate the mysterious occurrences in his visions to confirm that he isn't going insane.\n\nCurious adventurers begin to travel to the Plane of Knowledge and the Dreadlands to hear the rumors first hand.\n\n\n*** Items ***\n\n- The Raging Taelosian Alloy Axe and the Vengeful Taelosian Blood Axe have been modified. The Strike of Savagery effect will no longer have a chance to proc itself. Instead, the duration of the effect has been increased to 1 minute.\n- The tribute value of the mass enchant spells has been adjusted. It is not intended that infinitely purchasable items have a tribute value greater than their platinum cost.\n\n\n*** Spells ***\n\n- Tears of Qandieal and similar spells can now only be cast on NPCs to address a stability issue. The ability to use it against players will return with our next code update.\n\n\n*** Upcoming UI Changes ***\n\n- Message to custom UI users: With the next Game Update, we will be releasing several extensive changes to the User Interface (UI). Some of these changes can currently be found on the Test Server and additional changes may be released throughout the week. Please take a moment to visit the Test Server so that you can prepare ahead of time for these changes.\n\n \n\n- The EverQuest Team","content_hash":"b349698d568cb4a73d8735b011bd72d54c22bbceb6f1f63bbfb14fd953a6215c","source_files":["patches-2008-2.txt","patches_1999-2008_combined.md","patches_1999-2010_combined.txt"],"source_titles":["September 30, 2008"],"source_url":null,"source_urls":[],"occurrence_count":3,"source_occurrences":[{"occurrence_id":"843b62a34273d046eac67e8582f557d867b291c95826e64b59956d1790ec998b","filename":"patches_1999-2008_combined.md","adapter":"markdown","source_offset":1041616,"item_index":null,"heading":"September 30, 2008","source_url":null,"source_url_raw":null,"published":null,"source_kind":"markdown","excerpt":false,"year_inferred":false},{"occurrence_id":"3f11c2f1fb6833bd1801f1228e7099c1b43c2b989006a9df3af82ae7b6bc8aab","filename":"patches_1999-2010_combined.txt","adapter":"text","source_offset":1066657,"item_index":null,"heading":"September 30, 2008","source_url":null,"source_url_raw":null,"published":null,"source_kind":"text","excerpt":false,"year_inferred":false},{"occurrence_id":"112df45f590aa3143a41d631ebffa99ab74c143f7e04b141e9d99f7cdb41a979","filename":"patches-2008-2.txt","adapter":"text","source_offset":25132,"item_index":null,"heading":"September 30, 2008","source_url":null,"source_url_raw":null,"published":null,"source_kind":"text","excerpt":false,"year_inferred":false}],"year_inferred":false,"sequence":1,"slug":"2008-09-30-1","id":"2008-09-30-1"},{"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. Adventurers all across Norrath rejoice... especially monks!\n- The timer for returning to the game after going linkdead with a character has been reduced from 3 minutes to 1 minute.\n\n\n*** UI ***\n\n- Station Voice Comes to EverQuest!\n\n- How does it work in EverQuest? -\nTo begin using voice chat, verify the feature is enabled by opening the Option window (Alt+O) and navigating to the Voice tab. 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":"2008-05-29","effective_date":"2008-05-29","display_date":"May 29, 2008","title":"May 29, 2008","year":2008,"month":5,"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":"servers","label":"Servers"},{"slug":"expansions","label":"Expansions"}],"sections":["Highlights","AA","Miscellaneous"],"change_count":6,"word_count":170,"summary":"Here's a peek at the Game Update notes for Thursday, May 29, 2008 Highlights *** Summer is coming.

Keep watch on the EQPlayers website and the LaunchPad over the next couple of weeks for news about some exciting activities.\n\n- The experience gained formulas have been modified to present players with a much smoother increase in the number of kills required to progress through a level as they gain more levels. This change has the side effect of reducing the number of kills required to gain a level in certain scenarios between levels 50 and 75.\n\n\n\n*** AA ***\n\n- Rank 4 of Divine Stun is now available as a Secrets of Faydwer AA.\n\n*** Miscellaneous ***\n\n- Improvements have been made to load balancing for instance servers that should improve peak-time performance of instances.\n- Corpses should once again disappear immediately rather than fading away slowly after looting when using /hidecorpse looted even if all the items have been removed from the corpse.\n\n- The EverQuest Team","content_hash":"aa6bbe924073842947d6b4c2c09c2517798297610c75ac9b5f78001b5b896db4","source_files":["patches-2008-1.txt","patches_1999-2008_combined.md","patches_1999-2010_combined.txt"],"source_titles":["May 29, 2008"],"source_url":null,"source_urls":[],"occurrence_count":3,"source_occurrences":[{"occurrence_id":"dcf625c2a5f0cd48a4f009cc4fae8348905a5b7292279fd71b0ecfebc755cddf","filename":"patches_1999-2008_combined.md","adapter":"markdown","source_offset":1011904,"item_index":null,"heading":"May 29, 2008","source_url":null,"source_url_raw":null,"published":null,"source_kind":"markdown","excerpt":false,"year_inferred":false},{"occurrence_id":"614b27facaa22fce897d5f62f089d40e99642b916de718e3821f361e0b9199bb","filename":"patches_1999-2010_combined.txt","adapter":"text","source_offset":1036351,"item_index":null,"heading":"May 29, 2008","source_url":null,"source_url_raw":null,"published":null,"source_kind":"text","excerpt":false,"year_inferred":false},{"occurrence_id":"b23f161e2814e58bb90463e5c22f6029e74bca8164ff3112ce7ceb1c0da9db6b","filename":"patches-2008-1.txt","adapter":"text","source_offset":41203,"item_index":null,"heading":"May 29, 2008","source_url":null,"source_url_raw":null,"published":null,"source_kind":"text","excerpt":false,"year_inferred":false}],"year_inferred":false,"sequence":1,"slug":"2008-05-29-1","id":"2008-05-29-1"},{"patch_date":"2008-05-22","effective_date":"2008-05-22","display_date":"May 22, 2008","title":"May 22, 2008","year":2008,"month":5,"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":"servers","label":"Servers"}],"sections":["Highlights","Items","Spells","Quests & Events","NPC","Tradeskills","Miscellaneous"],"change_count":23,"word_count":546,"summary":"Here's a peek at the Game Update notes for Thursday, May 22, 2008 Highlights *** The EQPlayers database has received an upgrade to improve performance.

All players that have obtained the key/flag will still be allowed entry into the zones, as will players that have met minimum level requirements for the zones.  The zones and minimum level requirements are as follows:\n\n- Required Level 46 -\nThe Howling Stones\nOld Sebilis\nSkyshrine to Cobalt Scar\n\n- Required Level 55 -\nSleeper's Tomb\nVeeshan's Peak\nVex Thal\nLocked areas of the Temple of Ssraeshza\n\n- Required level 57 -\nBastion of Thunder\nHalls of Honor\nThe Temple of Marr\nTower of Solusek Ro\nDrunder, The Fortress of Zek\n\n- Required Level 60 -\nPlane of Water\nPlane of Air\nPlane of Fire\nPlane of Earth\nIkkinz\nUqua\nYxtta\nKodtaz\n\n- Required Level 62 -\nPlane of Time\nInktuta\nQvic\n\n- Required Level 65 -\nTxevu\nTacvi\n\n- Required Level 68 -\nAnquish\n\n- Required Level 70 -\nDreadspire\nDemiplane of Blood\n\n- Required Level 72 -\nTheater of Blood\nDeathknell\n\n- The Season of the Fabled has come to an end. The Fabled NPCs have packed up their camps and are riding off into the sunset for another year.\n\n\n*** Items ***\n\n- Added new spell drops to Meldrath's Majestic Mansion.\n- Increased the drop rate slightly for some spells in Crystallos.\n- Added recommended and required levels to some trade skill drops to help clarify their use. This does not change their actual use as trade skill containers do not pay attention to the recommended and required levels of items put in them.\n- Added a set of new vendors that sell many of the spell research components. The cost of these have been adjusted so that they sell to an NPC closer to the price it cost to make them, but merchants will sell them at a premium.  This means that you can save money while gaining skill. Also when you make spell combines you can choose between saving money, or saving time. You save money by making the sub-combines yourself, you save time by buying them.\n- Chromatic focus is now available for slot 12 augments for Cultural armor.\n- The engineer steamworks that work within the guardian have developed devices that help them move within the beast.  Fortunately for adventurers they can be a bit absent minded about them and adventurers can find them lying about.\n- A vial of raging heartblood is not as vile as it was previously.\n\n\n*** Quests & Events ***\n\n- Rylin Coil will now show and give all three tinkering mastery books for the tinkering mastery quest.\n\n\n*** Spells ***\n\n- The Shadowknight spells Touch of Kildrukaun and Touch of Severan that were linked together to share the reuse timer with a previous Game Update have been unlinked.\n- Secrets of Faydwer's Talisman of the Puma has been renamed to Talisman of the Cougar.\n- Cast time on Quellious' Word of Tranquility has been reduced from 4 to 2 seconds.\n- The Adrenal Boost focus effect has been changed to Life Line, which is a mana cost reduction on Pure Life.\n- The Closefisted Claw focus effect has been changed to Ethereal Breath, which is a damage increase on Ethereal Conflagration.\n- Breastplate worn effects that enhanced one rank of a spell or discipline now enhance all three ranks.\n- Reuse time reduction bonus on Assassin's Efficacy, Impenetrable Body, and Fit of Berserking Rage have been set to 25%.\n- The Rage of Tri'Qaras effect triggered from Bulwark of Tri'Qaras is now a damage bonus that stacks with other effects.\n- The recourse from the Challenge for Honor line will now appear in the bard buff box.\n- The Vinelash Ensnare effect triggered from Vinelash Cascade will no longer overwrite the highest version of Entrap.\n- The efficiency of Secrets of Faydwer direct damage spells now scales up on higher ranks of the same spell.\n- Improved Block and Improved Parry have been merged.  Any item that previously had Improved Block or Improved Parry will now have Improved Parry / Block.\n\n\n*** NPC ***\n\n- Halima in Crescent Reach can now be found in the find window.\n- Henrik O'Danos no longer sells Hypericum twice.\n- Ralfin in Bloodmoon keep will now cast his heal spell less frequently.\n\n\n*** AA ***\n\n- Added Rangers to the Critical Affliction line of AAs.\n- Increased the range of the Wrath of the Wild AA line to match other Damage Shield spells that Druids have.\n- Increased the hitpoints and resists of all \"Wards\" for all classes to make them better able to resist ambient damage.\n\n\n*** UI ***\n\n- The tracking window can now be sorted alphabetically and reverse-alphabetically.  Also, there is now a check box to set whether you want the tracking window to auto-update every six seconds.\n- Our UI xml schema has changed. If you are using a custom UI you may need to update this file in your custom UI directory.\n\n- Changed -\n\nSIDL.xml\nEQUI_FindLocationWnd\nEQUI_TrackingWnd.xml\n\n\n*** Miscellaneous ***\n\n- Situation where double length timer was given on events has been fixed. This occurred specifically to people who dropped out of the expedition and hadn't been kicked out of the zone yet.\n- Changes have been made to the way the client is notified about other entities (players, NPCs, etc.) in the zone.\n- Changed NPC summon behavior to summon the player right in front of their current heading at 1/2 their melee range.  Calculations used to determine when the NPC should summon have been made a bit more accurate.\n- Iksar and Wood Elves should be able to increase their forage skill caps after purchasing the forage AA.\n- Corrected a problem with hate generation from skill attack abilities such as Hail of Arrows and Decimator's Volley.  They were generating considerably more hate than they should and have been returned to their previous, lower hate generation.\n- Zone-wide /who commands now use a similar code path to server wide /who all commands.  Note that this will impose a similar time limit to how often it can be used.\n- The bobbing effect of levitation has been removed.  A new effect that pushes you off the ground about a foot and a half has been introduced.\n- Fixed an issue with the \"Public if Usable\" permission in the guild bank.\n- Fixed an issue that could place levitated players below the world when entering certain zones.\n- Fixed an issue that would cause levitate to fail if a player's mount was hit by a spell (usually an aura).\n- Stacks of two items in the guild bank can now be split.\n\n\n*** Previously Updated ***\n\n- Fixed an issue with the reset of the Kildrukaun event in Crystallos.\n- Lockout timers linked on many similar long-reuse spells of the same line.\n\n \n\n- The EverQuest Team","content_hash":"02ad7766e0862f5222f26b57b99eb407429946234d8be42a89e18138c08538d1","source_files":["patches-2008-1.txt","patches_1999-2008_combined.md","patches_1999-2010_combined.txt"],"source_titles":["April 17, 2008"],"source_url":null,"source_urls":[],"occurrence_count":3,"source_occurrences":[{"occurrence_id":"c76319604cd3ee001e697b14f0aea7ac95440a6beb3ea26f87ed44205bc850ca","filename":"patches_1999-2008_combined.md","adapter":"markdown","source_offset":994579,"item_index":null,"heading":"April 17, 2008","source_url":null,"source_url_raw":null,"published":null,"source_kind":"markdown","excerpt":false,"year_inferred":false},{"occurrence_id":"a17d5b396b6db845a4deb41a27b226508c8527e23f12aed890104be494ef7598","filename":"patches_1999-2010_combined.txt","adapter":"text","source_offset":1018696,"item_index":null,"heading":"April 17, 2008","source_url":null,"source_url_raw":null,"published":null,"source_kind":"text","excerpt":false,"year_inferred":false},{"occurrence_id":"e0c94cecbb0b5e692f539748ee0db32d33c80324372b5885c5acfa25a6898a1c","filename":"patches-2008-1.txt","adapter":"text","source_offset":23548,"item_index":null,"heading":"April 17, 2008","source_url":null,"source_url_raw":null,"published":null,"source_kind":"text","excerpt":false,"year_inferred":false}],"year_inferred":false,"sequence":1,"slug":"2008-04-17-1","id":"2008-04-17-1"},{"patch_date":"2008-04-01","effective_date":"2008-04-01","display_date":"April 1, 2008","title":"April 1, 2008","year":2008,"month":4,"kind":"live","era":"EverQuest Live","expansion":"Secrets of Faydwer","expansion_code":"secrets-of-faydwer","categories":[{"slug":"zones-npcs","label":"Zones & NPCs"},{"slug":"servers","label":"Servers"}],"sections":["From the patcher","Highlights"],"change_count":1,"word_count":462,"summary":"From the patcher: Highlights *** EverQuest is pleased to announce the introduction of a new service that will allow you to permanently change the gender or race of your characters.

This is something that has been requested by players since the inception of the game, but has only recently become possible due to changes that have been made in how characters are stored.\n\n\n\nIn order to make the use of this feature as simple as possible and to allow you to request this service without leaving the game, we have added NPCs to every static (non-instanced) zone in the game that listen for the key phrase “I want to be a ”.  All you have to do is shout your request to the zone and when the NPC hears the key phrase, they will add your request to the processing queue.  The NPCs do not currently have a way to respond to requests via the shout command, so you won’t get a response to your request.   This is something we plan to add to the system later, but we didn’t want to hold up the release of this service.\n\nFor example, if you have a female character and want to request a change to a male character, you would issue the following command:\n\n“/shout I want to be a man”  (note: “I want to be a boy” and “I want to be a male” will also work)\n\nThe service can take compound requests which include a change to both your race and gender.  If you wanted to change your character into a female iksar, for instance, you would issue the following command:\n\n“/shout I want to be a female iksar”\n\nBecause we are anticipating a large amount of interest in this feature and wish to prevent possible performance problems that might occur, the servers are being limited to processing only a certain number of requests at a time and each character will only be allowed to change one time.  Once your character has been changed, subsequent requests will be ignored.  During heavy request times, it may take up to 24 hours before your request is processed.

The Fabled Planes of Power will be active starting March 16th!\n\n- Fan Faire Requests: At the 2007 Fan Faire, attendees got a chance to discuss their suggestions directly with the development teams. After the launch of Secrets of Faydwer, the EQ team started working on the list of suggestions and feedback they were given. Below are two of the most recent changes based on that feedback:\n\n- Guild Bank items and deposits now sort after the contents have been changed.\n\n- The Adventure window now includes the ability to sort entries by the properties of each adventure entry.\n\n\n*** Items ***\n\n- Added recommended levels to some SoF bracers that did not have them before.\n- Changed the additive in Monster Summoning IV spell research recipe to Ink Additive of the Nameless.\n- Ranthock Roots now have the tradeskill flag.\n\n\n*** Spells ***\n\n- Corrected all instances of Fear Spells that were bypassing the Fear Immunity granted by the Fearless AA.\n\n\n*** NPC ***\n\n- Mercia has set up shop in the Plane of Knowledge to sell some of the odd jewelry supplies.\n- Added Thraynis, Vetiver Root, and Sea spirit to the alchemy merchants that carry the larger sized herbs.\n\n\n*** Tradekills ***\n\n- Cultural Charms made with pottery now require only one rare component.

The changed AAs include: Hastened Ligament Slice, Hastened Cacophony, Hastened Funeral Dirge.\n\nThese AAs will now require you to purchase the first rank of the ability they focus before you can purchase these AAs.\n\n\n*** Zones ***\n\n- Additional Augments have been added to all parts of Crystallos.\n- Old Man Thorren on the Beta server is now able to take tokens from multiple characters on the same account. If you used multiple characters to turn in tokens, simply ask Thorren to [combine] your tokens. He'll keep track of how many tokens are on your character and ask you to log in other characters on the same account that have also turned in tokens. You can repeat this as many times as needed to accumulate enough tokens total to earn a beta reward for your account.\n\n\n*** UI ***\n\n- Changed -\n\nEQUI_DynamicZoneWnd\n\n\n*** Miscellaneous ***\n\n- Added default height sizes to many of the illusions in the game. This should cause illusions of creatures that are typically non-human heights to grow or shrink the user as appropriate when they change into that illusion.\n\n\n*** Previously Updated ***\n\n- Slightly lowered the damage done by the four Squires of Crystallos.","content_hash":"84fff7638329eab5152bb87e94a067627e4f6268270c2cb979656ff31632784d","source_files":["patches-2008-1.txt","patches_1999-2008_combined.md","patches_1999-2010_combined.txt"],"source_titles":["February 28, 2008"],"source_url":null,"source_urls":[],"occurrence_count":3,"source_occurrences":[{"occurrence_id":"55c85681bed883edd6e0d136b2055939fdaf40b5ea782f9d8ca25ea7f5613256","filename":"patches_1999-2008_combined.md","adapter":"markdown","source_offset":984325,"item_index":null,"heading":"February 28, 2008","source_url":null,"source_url_raw":null,"published":null,"source_kind":"markdown","excerpt":false,"year_inferred":false},{"occurrence_id":"a90b0dcd1d45e3aa8df24e1825d6fa5ef63cbfaca7b581495686c25677f65512","filename":"patches_1999-2010_combined.txt","adapter":"text","source_offset":1008178,"item_index":null,"heading":"February 28, 2008","source_url":null,"source_url_raw":null,"published":null,"source_kind":"text","excerpt":false,"year_inferred":false},{"occurrence_id":"8849c1b1b3b4693488841f4c44412b88996fff767585b6257d0d0ee38207ed54","filename":"patches-2008-1.txt","adapter":"text","source_offset":13030,"item_index":null,"heading":"February 28, 2008","source_url":null,"source_url_raw":null,"published":null,"source_kind":"text","excerpt":false,"year_inferred":false}],"year_inferred":false,"sequence":1,"slug":"2008-02-28-1","id":"2008-02-28-1"},{"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.

This does not alter how they work, it just clarifies the abilities.\n- Moved recommended level from the gems to the metals in the new jewelry. With this change, moving the expensive gems to other metals will yield better results if you are below the recommended level.\n- Fixed the spelling of Runed Scroll of Pestilence.\n- Changed the weight of the spell research kit to 4.0.\n- Removed fire focus effects from SoF Shadowknight armor and cold focus effects from SoF Necromancer armor due to their limited utility for those classes.\n- The clockwork key is no longer tradable on the Firiona Vie server.\n*** Spells ***\n\n- Wearing an item with the Servitor of Scale focus will now work correctly while also wearing an item with the Spire Servant focus.\n\n*** Quests & Events ***\n\n- Made a change to the Bargangle fight that should prevent him from staying hidden inside his bedroom. Called him a coward a few times, that seems to have riled him up.\n- Slightly changed the way Breakneck spawns in Meldrath's Mansion. He spawns off different doors. These doors are less spread out across the zone. Areas where he can't be spawned and that have no bearing on the raids in the zone have been locked off.\n- Charming Tiny Tops now stunts their growth. 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.

Pottery will make Fine Shaped Potion Vial's instead of Bola Weights.  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. The sound soothes the inhabitants and they should be less likely to attack folks that are just riding up or down.\n\n*** Previously Updated ***\n\n- Realnyna in Crescent reach will now respond to hails.\n- Fixed a bug that could cause the Last Stand Into Eternity task to fail to trigger properly.\n- It is no longer necessary to be in a raid to get the chest to drop off of the \"Breaking Walls\" events in Devastation.\n\n\n\n- The EverQuest Team","content_hash":"cec7f68b92e4ad2cb431e96ba5b7b88ac01ebc43d0fdfb606069d36cfb75fb67","source_files":["patches-2008-1.txt","patches_1999-2008_combined.md","patches_1999-2010_combined.txt"],"source_titles":["February 6, 2008"],"source_url":null,"source_urls":[],"occurrence_count":3,"source_occurrences":[{"occurrence_id":"4977fc16025fdf70a0032deae275bdf7ac17915ffb14a045413697f3fc4f0028","filename":"patches_1999-2008_combined.md","adapter":"markdown","source_offset":980537,"item_index":null,"heading":"February 6, 2008","source_url":null,"source_url_raw":null,"published":null,"source_kind":"markdown","excerpt":false,"year_inferred":false},{"occurrence_id":"268eee3ef1ff87118ee92f32922a56c7cefc304d9b04d72a6d6503ce016de315","filename":"patches_1999-2010_combined.txt","adapter":"text","source_offset":1004324,"item_index":null,"heading":"February 6, 2008","source_url":null,"source_url_raw":null,"published":null,"source_kind":"text","excerpt":false,"year_inferred":false},{"occurrence_id":"90ae94e2dfa40b5598b401d5449d3e6cc10f5ee6ab3705aa709f3edc51075912","filename":"patches-2008-1.txt","adapter":"text","source_offset":9176,"item_index":null,"heading":"February 6, 2008","source_url":null,"source_url_raw":null,"published":null,"source_kind":"text","excerpt":false,"year_inferred":false}],"year_inferred":false,"sequence":1,"slug":"2008-02-06-1","id":"2008-02-06-1"},{"patch_date":"2008-01-16","effective_date":"2008-01-16","display_date":"January 16, 2008","title":"January 16, 2008","year":2008,"month":1,"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":"ui","label":"UI"},{"slug":"servers","label":"Servers"},{"slug":"audio-graphics","label":"Audio & Graphics"},{"slug":"expansions","label":"Expansions"}],"sections":["Today's patch message","Highlights","Items","Quests & Events","Spells","NPC","Tradekills","Tasks","AA","Miscellaneous","Previously Updated"],"change_count":78,"word_count":1544,"summary":"Today's patch message: Loot All has been changed to help resolve some client disconnect/corpse loss issues.

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":"2007-10-30","effective_date":"2007-10-30","display_date":"October 30, 2007","title":"October 30, 2007","year":2007,"month":10,"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":"items","label":"Items"},{"slug":"zones-npcs","label":"Zones & NPCs"},{"slug":"quests-events","label":"Quests & Events"},{"slug":"tradeskills","label":"Tradeskills"},{"slug":"servers","label":"Servers"},{"slug":"expansions","label":"Expansions"}],"sections":["Highlights","Items","Tradeskills","Previously Updated"],"change_count":15,"word_count":372,"summary":"Highlights *** Steamfont Revamp: The sounds of gnomish cheers and clockwork gears echo across the continent of Faydwer as the Steamfont Mountains transforms its appearance.

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.

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 player is ported into the instance with no way to update element 0 of the task.\nStatus: You can no longer enter the instance before you have updated the first element of the quest.\n\nIssue: Shaman spell 'Protection of Wishka' when scribed becomes 'Wishka's Favor'.\nSummary: Name and description of item do not match the spell that is scribed from.\nStatus: The spell scrolls have been changed to the proper spell name.\n\nIssue: NPC 'a goblin headmaster' in the 'Ocean of Tears' zone is not spawning.\nSummary: The Goblin Headmaster is no longer spawning in the Oot zone.\nStatus: The Goblin Headmaster is spawning again in the new version of Ocean of Tears. \n\nIssue: EQPlayers site not updating character profiles.\nSummary: People are reporting that their character profiles are still not updating.\nStatus: With this update, work will be done on the EQPlayers database. 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":"2007-04-05","effective_date":"2007-04-05","display_date":"April 5, 2007","title":"April 5, 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":"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":"expansions","label":"Expansions"}],"sections":["Highlights","Items","NPC","Miscellaneous"],"change_count":13,"word_count":306,"summary":"Highlights *** The Anniversary scavenger hunts and fabled NPCs will continue to be available until April 16, 2007.

This ability should now correctly reduce the chance an NPC has to break root.\n- Modified the Serpent Spine Expendable AA abilities to be more powerful for the same cost. \n- Added Spell Critical chance increases to the Expendable AA Glyph of Destruction and opened it up \nfor use by casters.\n- Deep Sleep will now work on mesmerization spells over level 70.\n\n\n*** Items ***\n\n- The weapon delay restrictions have been removed from the Mossy Tundra Stone and Everlasting Forge \nCoal.\n- Several high level TSS shields now have their appropriate augmentation slots.\n- The proc rate on Brightflame, Pride of the Lifebringer has been increased to a more appropriate \nlevel.\n- With the exception of diseased forages, the forages from The Serpents Spine zones have been given a \nsmall vendor value.\n- Changed most of the gems in the game to stack to 100.\n- Dyn'leth's Spy Glass has been improved to work more effectively.\n- Keikolin's Mindhaze Sleeves now have a chromatic damage focus effect instead of a magic damage focus \neffect.\n- The swarm pet from the Savage Platinum Fists functions correctly again.\n\n\n*** NPCs ***\n\n- NPCs can now potentially drop more than 8 items. Also, stackable items will be dropped as stacks \ninstead of as several single items.\n- Added cash loot to some NPCs in Sunderock that had none.\n- Butcher Redloe now correctly describes how to make Blood Sausage.\n- Termun in Crescent Reach is a bit more forgiving of foreigners.\n- Lowered the poison effect on the lower half of snakes in the mesa.\n- Removed some errant drops from the base Thundercrest zone.\n- Increased the drop rates for the Powersources in Ashengate and Frostcrypt that are used for various \narmor tasks in Crescent Reach.\n\n\n*** Spells ***\n\n- Fixed an issue with casting spells as soon as spell gems started to become available, where the user \nwould get a \"Spell recovery time not yet met\" error.\n- Players will now always be able to see themselves and their group members who are invisible or hiding.\n- Bolt spells should now function more appropriately. Arrows and bolt spells should now work regardless \nof height differences between you and your target, as long as you have line of sight.\n- The recourse effects from Doppelganger and Dimensional Instability can no longer be buff blocked. \n- Necklace of Warportal Fragments effect now requires vendor bought Small Portal Fragments as a reagent \ninstead of Portal Fragments.\n\n\n*** Quests ***\n\n- Fixed a pathing issue that would cause the pilgrims on the Altar Escort task to warp through Icefall.\n- The Evidence of Corruption task has been modified slightly. Zhureni will no longer want Igneous Cairn \nStones, Lava Ooze Glands, or the Vial of Burning Liquid until you have collected them all.\n\n\n*** Tasks ***\n\n- Changed an error in the text of Dorina's Quest in the Mesa.\n- Corrected an issue with the following Grandmaster Cultural Symbol quests: \"Thundercrest Expedition\", \n\"The Latest in Clockworks!\", and \"A Bit of Spider, a Bit of Drake\". If you are a Dwarf, High Elf, or \nGnome, have the quest from before this update but haven't completed it, and the task has less than 6 \nsteps including hidden ones marked with a \"???\", there are some special steps you can take to update \nyour quest to include these changes while keeping your current progress. NOTE: These steps are not \nrequired and your task can be completed without going through this, but your task may not display updates \nproperly. \n1)Go to the Artisan in your home town that gave out the task. Be sure that you have a few minutes and \ndo not zone or log out until you have completed all steps.\n2) Say \"Broken\" to the Artisan and it will start a new dialog tree.\n3) Read everything carefully and respond appropriately. There will be text in brackets. Be sure to say \nexactly what is in the brackets. You will be asked to remove tasks at certain steps. Be very certain \nyou have the correct task highlighted before you hit the remove button. Take your time and follow the \ndirections carefully.\n4) Following these steps properly will give you the updated the task and preserve the progress you have \nmade on the old version.\n\n\n*** Tradeskills ***\n\n- Some of the grandmaster cultural symbol tasks have been made easier by being less specific about the \nNPCs that are needed for the kill step. For example, if the kill step was \"kill 120 Isle Drakes\" it will \nnow be \"Kill 120 Isle Creatures\". Additionally, the kill steps will only be able to be completed in the \nbase zone, or instance of the base zone that is mentioned in the task text. The loot step will still \nonly be on the specific creatures, and only in instances.\n- Metal Bits now stack more efficiently.\n- Changed the name of the three old cultural sewing kits and their tokens to make them stand out. They \nwill continue to work for basic tailoring as they have for a while, and they will continue to not work \nfor cultural tailoring, as they have not for a while.\n- Added fish from The Serpents Spine to the Bait Dispenser.\n- Fixed a misspelling of the recipe name for Feir'Dal Sewing Kit and Teir'Dal Sewing Kit.\n- Removed the tradeskill flag from Onyx Ring.\n- More of the \"Blue Diamond Cultural\" was set for Luclin release on progression servers.\n- Crystalwing Sewing Kit and Crescent Essence recipes can now be learned.\n- Crescent Essence can now be traded.","content_hash":"f24012a83593450bc724e24262eceb9fdaf72c97772f308700b5d6eb106ad893","source_files":["patches-2006-2.txt","patches_1999-2008_combined.md","patches_1999-2010_combined.txt"],"source_titles":["December 5, 2006"],"source_url":null,"source_urls":[],"occurrence_count":3,"source_occurrences":[{"occurrence_id":"5ed4dd9bce047667ce87bafb93a796ba78a8727f0125ef7e28338ae197611ad3","filename":"patches_1999-2008_combined.md","adapter":"markdown","source_offset":869098,"item_index":null,"heading":"December 5, 2006","source_url":null,"source_url_raw":null,"published":null,"source_kind":"markdown","excerpt":false,"year_inferred":false},{"occurrence_id":"0c4a2caf5e7fb4cb2bcd5d4b7ce0c7e6428922b8c9e722fcb5711915d6d8f19c","filename":"patches_1999-2010_combined.txt","adapter":"text","source_offset":891169,"item_index":null,"heading":"December 5, 2006","source_url":null,"source_url_raw":null,"published":null,"source_kind":"text","excerpt":false,"year_inferred":false},{"occurrence_id":"c9dce296160909f4e071b369359af983a37442d8a140eb693bc766ae926cf334","filename":"patches-2006-2.txt","adapter":"text","source_offset":24747,"item_index":null,"heading":"December 5, 2006","source_url":null,"source_url_raw":null,"published":null,"source_kind":"text","excerpt":false,"year_inferred":false}],"year_inferred":false,"sequence":1,"slug":"2006-12-05-1","id":"2006-12-05-1"},{"patch_date":"2006-10-25","effective_date":"2006-10-25","display_date":"October 25, 2006","title":"October 25, 2006","year":2006,"month":10,"kind":"live","era":"EverQuest Live","expansion":"The Serpent's Spine","expansion_code":"the-serpents-spine","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":"expansions","label":"Expansions"}],"sections":["Highlights","Items","Tradeskills","Events","Quests","Raids","NPCs","AAs"],"change_count":28,"word_count":723,"summary":"Highlights *** The way that AA experience is granted within each con range has been adjusted.

NPCs that \nare higher level within the con range will now give more AA experience than NPCs that are \nlower level, but con the same.\n- In order for Sony Online Entertainment to provide you with the best possible customer service \nwe will be integrating a new SOE Customer Service interface into EverQuest which will allow us \nto provide you with a Unified Front of customer support where all forms of service will have the \nsame general look and feel in a centralized location. You'll also be able to view support and \nservice requests in an archived history regardless of how you contacted us or what game you \ncontacted us about! For more information on this change please read the announcement in \"The \nTown Crier\" on the EverQuest forums at http://eqforums.station.sony.com. \n\n\n*** Items ***\n\n- Warweaver has been corrected to be a Paladin / Shadowknight only weapon. Players who looted \nthe item before the patch have had the item exchanged for a different weapon: Warsorrow. \n- The damage ratios of several high-end TSS weapons have been retuned.\n- The Cartographer's Loadstone has been modified so that stat increases are better spread over \nthe quest's progression. The final stats are now achieved at the final step of the quest instead \nof the preceding step.\n\n\n*** Tradeskills *** \n\n- The recipe names for some of the poisons that use sketches have been made clearer.\n- Some poison-making components have had their stack sizes adjusted.\n- Fixed a misspelling in the title of Brodder's Lost Diaries.\n- Enabled Fierce Heraldic for a more appropriate expansion on the progression servers.\n- Crow in North Qeynos has decided to use the same supplier as the ones in Abysmal Sea and now \nhas a full stock of his brew.\n- Smith Gyasi in Crescent Reach should now properly get more supplies when you offer him a \ncompleted ore shipment.\n- Halima and Baker Kosey now carry a supply of beans.\n- Rylin Coil will now give players any missing Tinkering Mastery books if they have already \ncompleted the task.\n\n\n*** Events ***\n\n- The Muramite Proving Ground trials will properly flag everyone currently in the zone when a raid \nis successfully completed.\n- The Stitch event should now spawn properly after the ambush event is completed.\n- The Cursebearers in Inktu`ta should no longer warp shortly after spawning.\n\n\n*** Quests ***\n\n- Many of the Ashengate faction quests should take less time to complete.\n- Fixed the combine for the Flowers for Veldyn task.\n- Shryyn's Quest \"A Fair Trade\" is now repeatable. Since this is now repeatable the experience \ngiven upon completion has been reduced. Additionally the quest item is now lore.\n\n\n*** Raids ***\n\n- Made some fixes to the King Odeen raid in Valdeholm. He will take a little longer to escape and \nwill give warnings if you have almost given him enough time to escape. When he does escape the \nmission will fail outright. Also corrected some errors with the Commander Clanghor (his assistants \nwon't run off without him) and with the High Keepers. You will now have to defeat them before \nmoving on to the next part of the event and their ability to heal has been removed.\n\n\n*** NPCs***\n\n- The inhabitants of Frostcrypt will be more likely to see invisible individuals than they did previously.\n- Reduced the level of Expin in Greater Faydark so he can be successfully pick pocketed again.\n- Mesa Snakes have a bit less poison than they used to have, though the effectiveness of the poison \nis the same.\n- Librarian Hemfar in Crescent Reach should now be willing to offer you the charm reward for turning \nin artifacts.

However, the quest givers for these two clans will not deal with you unless \nyou are at least tolerated among the clan itself.\n- Nerissa Clothspinner has realized that she will need money to continue the search for her sister. \nShe will now continue to sell her wares when she is on the move.\n\n\n*** Tradeskills ***\n\n- Yew Leaves now look like leaves.\n- Some secrets to making the single unfired tradeskill charms have gotten out and they are now easier \nto make.

These vendors do not like handling \nsuch items so they charge a hefty premium for carrying them. You will save money making them yourself, \nbut you can save time by buying them.\n- Fixed a misspelling in the spell recipe for Elemental Simulacrum.\n- Made changes to the following list of spell recipes to more closely match the systematic spell \nresearch system.

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. Run directx_apr2006_redist.exe. Extract the files to an easily identifiable directory. \n\n3. Go to the directory the files were extracted to in step 2. Run \"DXSETUP.EXE\" from \nthat directory. \n\n4. Accept the license agreement. Allow the installer to update the DirectX components. \n\n- Nektulos Forest got a face lift! Check out the amazing new look. \n\n- The Guild Lobby is now available to everyone. \n\n- The 8th-year veteran reward Throne of Heroes, a gate ability that transports veterans \nto the throne room in the guild lobby, is now available to those who are eligible. \n\n- The map window now has an option to display your group mates. \n\n- To help smooth the transition to incurring death penalties for new players (losing \nexperience and leaving a corpse), the level when you start to incur death penalties has \nbeen lowered from level 11 to level 6 and the amount of experience you lose when you die \nnow starts at a very small amount at level 6 and slowly ramps up from there. 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!

Instead, \nthey will work like other spheres of influence and the effect will remain on an affected \nplayer as long as they are within the area of the sphere and be removed from the player \nonly when they leave the sphere. Note that if you remove the effect from yourself by clicking \nit off, you will need to leave the area of the aura and return before it is reapplied. \n-The cleric spells Aura of the Pious and Aura of the Zealot have been changed slightly. \nThey will no longer fade after a certain amount of damage has been taken, but will absorb \nslightly less damage per hit. \n- Traps will now apply the correct amount of damage whether in a pvp setting or not. \n- Corrected a problem that would cause older traps to go off every time someone entered their \narea instead of going off, then being inactive for a time before going off again. \n- You can now try to sense a trap even when you have a PC or NPC targeted.

Those that had the \"calmed\" versions will \nget a version similar to the bows they had, but it will have gained a slot 7 augments slot, \nin addition to the slot 4 it already had. The calmed compound version has had a slight \nadjustment DOWN in the stats, but slight increase in the damage and range. The rest of the \ncalmed versions got an increase to their overall stats, though there may be some shuffle. \nThose that had the version of the bow with the proc will get a significant upgrade to their\nbow, but these bows no longer have an innate proc. Instead they have a slot 4 and a slot 7, \nand the players will be able to choose to add a proc via slot 4, or not. These bows have also \nchanged to attunable.

We hope to \nhave a fix that can be tested on our Test Server within the next week or so. \n- Just in the last couple of days we were able to find the line of sight issue that some of \nyou have been reporting. Given how close we were to our next live update, we felt that there \nwas not a sufficient amount of time to properly test this change. For this reason the line \nof sight fix will not be in this update, but will go to our Test Server this week so that we \ncan have the proper amount of testing time to ensure that our fix actually fixes the problem \nand does not create any others. Thank you for your understanding.","content_hash":"2b0100d4b2ab7c837724999ba9e8187b0cd0678da2a857fe524220ba896a40e2","source_files":["patches-2006-1.txt","patches_1999-2008_combined.md","patches_1999-2010_combined.txt"],"source_titles":["March 15, 2006"],"source_url":null,"source_urls":[],"occurrence_count":3,"source_occurrences":[{"occurrence_id":"8a5f2e61e684c482b40caa117e59b8379c87bf32f7365a9b1e6beacdca8c287d","filename":"patches_1999-2008_combined.md","adapter":"markdown","source_offset":806585,"item_index":null,"heading":"March 15, 2006","source_url":null,"source_url_raw":null,"published":null,"source_kind":"markdown","excerpt":false,"year_inferred":false},{"occurrence_id":"44f43029289de0afb2d00f21100c6a640e2371c806fb2f76a5936d2c5c8c94f5","filename":"patches_1999-2010_combined.txt","adapter":"text","source_offset":827538,"item_index":null,"heading":"March 15, 2006","source_url":null,"source_url_raw":null,"published":null,"source_kind":"text","excerpt":false,"year_inferred":false},{"occurrence_id":"b68c95e2026de62e926afea614aebd26daadb986c1df65782c187eaf0cede235","filename":"patches-2006-1.txt","adapter":"text","source_offset":18554,"item_index":null,"heading":"March 15, 2006","source_url":null,"source_url_raw":null,"published":null,"source_kind":"text","excerpt":false,"year_inferred":false}],"year_inferred":false,"sequence":1,"slug":"2006-03-15-1","id":"2006-03-15-1"},{"patch_date":"2006-02-23","effective_date":"2006-02-23","display_date":"February 23, 2006","title":"February 23, 2006","year":2006,"month":2,"kind":"live","era":"EverQuest Live","expansion":"Prophecy of Ro","expansion_code":"prophecy-of-ro","categories":[{"slug":"bug-fixes","label":"Bug Fixes"},{"slug":"items","label":"Items"},{"slug":"zones-npcs","label":"Zones & NPCs"},{"slug":"servers","label":"Servers"}],"sections":[],"change_count":13,"word_count":240,"summary":"The Guild Hall is still not available.

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. The stun and snare \ntype abilities will now be on one timer, and the jolt and volley sets will be on another.","content_hash":"94ff0b179099f7cdf4df04825f6e93a608f0d162782b8617d58e798b0f2d036d","source_files":["patches-2005-2.txt","patches_1999-2008_combined.md","patches_1999-2010_combined.txt"],"source_titles":["October 27, 2005"],"source_url":null,"source_urls":[],"occurrence_count":3,"source_occurrences":[{"occurrence_id":"f26102ee2a78b105584871d2c1f7962c7f728635d712ec84a497f04179d8b75c","filename":"patches_1999-2008_combined.md","adapter":"markdown","source_offset":770334,"item_index":null,"heading":"October 27, 2005","source_url":null,"source_url_raw":null,"published":null,"source_kind":"markdown","excerpt":false,"year_inferred":false},{"occurrence_id":"30537855575ca4bbeba2e81010162053fd339c521609186a50713bc2ab330169","filename":"patches_1999-2010_combined.txt","adapter":"text","source_offset":790495,"item_index":null,"heading":"October 27, 2005","source_url":null,"source_url_raw":null,"published":null,"source_kind":"text","excerpt":false,"year_inferred":false},{"occurrence_id":"10a687f902188f28414cf5ecf4d61258acd10ee6daf6eb031e47bcfec949e7f9","filename":"patches-2005-2.txt","adapter":"text","source_offset":27367,"item_index":null,"heading":"October 27, 2005","source_url":null,"source_url_raw":null,"published":null,"source_kind":"text","excerpt":false,"year_inferred":false}],"year_inferred":false,"sequence":1,"slug":"2005-10-27-1","id":"2005-10-27-1"},{"patch_date":"2005-09-15","effective_date":"2005-09-15","display_date":"September 15, 2005","title":"September 15, 2005","year":2005,"month":9,"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":"quests-events","label":"Quests & Events"},{"slug":"tradeskills","label":"Tradeskills"},{"slug":"ui","label":"UI"},{"slug":"servers","label":"Servers"},{"slug":"expansions","label":"Expansions"}],"sections":["Spells","Items","Miscellaneous"],"change_count":7,"word_count":136,"summary":"Spells ** Modified Abundant Healing so it should no longer have stacking problems with other regeneration effects.

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?

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. Note to skinners, your old skin should work for the \nsingle Hotbutton window contained in it, but you'll need to update to see more than 1. \n- Item Links have changed format. \n- Bazaar search results, when the item is viewed, should now show the correct number of \ncharges for charged items. \n- The Task Select window now autoselects the first task in the list. \n- The Guild Management Window level display bug should be fixed. \n- Changing video modes should no longer clear the Find window list. \n- The Find Window now generates a Find path once a target is selected. \n\n\n** Miscellaneous ** \n\n- Added new level gained text for lower level characters. \n- A fully looted corpse will remain in the game as long as there is experience that \ncan be regained through an experience rez or until the experience rez timer has expired. \n\n\n***Special Thanks*** \n\nThe EverQuest Team would like to warmly thank all the people who participated in the \nDepths of Darkhollow Beta. All your feedback, patience and good spirits have been \nreally invaluable to us and the EverQuest community as a whole.

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 now have to right click on the Buyer's name to get the \nsearch path. \n\n\n*** UI *** \n------------------------------------ \n- Fixed an issue causing custom UIs to show bad data in unused buff slots. \n- The Task display now properly displays tasks with a large number of elements. \n- On character select, if you want to go back into the tutorial, just click the \ntutorial button below the list of characters. It is no longer a toggle button. \n\n\n*** Miscellaneous *** \n------------------------------------ \n- Increased the maximum level range spread for LDoN adventures from 7 to 10 so \nyou can now group with someone 10 levels above or below you. \n- Critical heals now produce a message similar to other spells that crit. \n- Fixed corpse looting bugs for corpses that have been summoned or moved out of \ndynamic zones. \n- Closing multiple bags while using the bank no longer causes the client to crash. \n- The raid locking system had various bugs which are now fixed. Please let us know \nif you encounter any problems with the raid tool. \n\n\n* Denotes a community request. \n\n\n-- The EverQuest Team","content_hash":"8207f7ae4ded569506f6d2688a97347b49c28989e1aac242c71f23e0b133b23c","source_files":["patches-2005-1.txt","patches_1999-2010_combined.txt"],"source_titles":["April 12, 2005"],"source_url":null,"source_urls":[],"occurrence_count":2,"source_occurrences":[{"occurrence_id":"48db1ed0a1e87aa28327757ea205ec8ad33621b91b0741bbf1da30498e52e95a","filename":"patches_1999-2010_combined.txt","adapter":"text","source_offset":718910,"item_index":null,"heading":"April 12, 2005","source_url":null,"source_url_raw":null,"published":null,"source_kind":"text","excerpt":false,"year_inferred":false},{"occurrence_id":"f33508c7d9c6172aa52d283708f0031a8c1e79e79cc979ff0425a267458a5a43","filename":"patches-2005-1.txt","adapter":"text","source_offset":30716,"item_index":null,"heading":"April 12, 2005","source_url":null,"source_url_raw":null,"published":null,"source_kind":"text","excerpt":false,"year_inferred":false}],"year_inferred":false,"sequence":1,"slug":"2005-04-12-1","id":"2005-04-12-1"},{"patch_date":"2005-03-17","effective_date":"2005-03-17","display_date":"March 17, 2005","title":"March 17, 2005","year":2005,"month":3,"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":"servers","label":"Servers"},{"slug":"expansions","label":"Expansions"}],"sections":["Missions","Tradeskills","Ranger Epic","Fabled Item Changes"],"change_count":25,"word_count":643,"summary":"Missions *** ---------------------------------- Added the ability to see invisible to some of the NPCs in The Nest instances.

Being kited \nwas making them sad. \n- Removed a bug in the Rivals mission in The Nest that allowed groups to complete \nthe mission more than once without speaking to the quest-giver again. \n\n*** Tradeskills ***\n----------------------------------\n- Added some missing Troll cultural items to vendors in Neriak. \n- Added a book to outline the creation of the new cultural sewing kits. \n- All of the new cultural sewing kits can now be traded in to Caerlyna in the Bazaar \nfor tokens. \n- Meeka Diggs in Rivervale no longer sells Iron Thread and should now sell the three \nsizes of Mercurium Thread. \n- Changed the text on Culturally Inspired Armor - part 3 to accurately reflect the \npelts used for Half Elven cultural tailored armors. \n- There was a new \"Chunk of Ice\" created for the Dragons of Norrath expansion. This \nnew \"Chunk of Ice\" has been removed and replaced with the old \"Chunk of Ice\" on the \nforage tables for all Dragons of Norrath zones. They should also now drop off some \nof the colder dervishes. All of the new Dragons of Norrath drink recipes that used \n\"Chunk of Ice\" (Curdled Cream, Iced Coffee, Iced Tea and Iced Mountain Tea) now use \nthe old \"Chunk of Ice\".\n- Fixed a bug with the recipe for creating Barbarian cultural leather swatches. The \nrecipes were mistakenly using the \"Norrathian Needle\" instead of the \"Northman Needle\".\n- Fixed a bug in the recipe for creating the Dragons of Norrath cultural armor patterns \nthat could allow a player to recover their ruined book with a successful salvage. Sorry, \nthat was unintentional. \n- Removed the Erudite Sewing Kit from vendors. The new kit is created by players and \nshould replace the old kit. \n- Fixed the Feir'Dal Fletching Kit. Really, we did. \n- Fixed the Surefall Fletching Kit. (This was actually fixed with the last update). \n- Fixed the Reinforced Jeweler's Kit. (This was actually fixed with the last update). \n- Changed the Dragons of Norrath cultural recipes that used \"Quill\" to now use \"A Quill\" \n(used in research recipes). \"A Quill\" is also now sold on the appropriate vendors. (This \nwas actually changed with the last update). \n\n*** Ranger Epic ***\n----------------------------------\n- Modified the encounter with Grinbik in Bloodfields for the Ranger epic slightly. Previously \nhe could respond with the phrase \"I wish to speak with the one that freed me.\" when he was \nnot actually free (for example, if the Marshal was still alive). Now he will not give that \nresponse until he has actually been freed. Hopefully this will remove some confusion from \nthe event. \n- A Ranger at the proper stage of the quest will now only trigger the Herrian Warfrost \nencounter if he or she goes down the corridor near where he hangs out and is at the proper \nstage of the quest with the necessary item on them. (This change actually went in with our \nlast update). \n\n*** Fabled Item Changes ***\n----------------------------------\n- The Fabled Mrylokar's Bracer has been made lore. \n- Several Fabled NPC's have had their difficulty modified. \n- The Fabled Glowing Kunzar Amulet will now be equippable in the neck slot. \n- The Fabled Incarnadine Breastplate has had Iksar added to the race-usability list. \n- Several Fabled Items have been returned to their previously tradable status on the \nFiriona Vie server. \n- The following items have had their stats modified: \n\nFabled Jaundiced Bone Greaves\nFabled Insignia Protector\nBracelet of the Corrupter\nWristband of Spectral Corruption\nBracer of Corrupted Souls\nBracer of the Debauched \n\n- The following items have had recommended levels added to them: \n\nFabled Necklace of Superiority\nFabled Rod of Mourning","content_hash":"48d9bab655369ab38fbc2835b016a8baf9328bca3dc6ecd08ea2c169bdfb9917","source_files":["patches-2005-1.txt","patches_1999-2008_combined.md","patches_1999-2010_combined.txt"],"source_titles":["March 17, 2005"],"source_url":null,"source_urls":[],"occurrence_count":3,"source_occurrences":[{"occurrence_id":"63d53932d0925a89c421d765f038300faa8b99cdf1416239211606d482b448f7","filename":"patches_1999-2008_combined.md","adapter":"markdown","source_offset":695747,"item_index":null,"heading":"March 17, 2005","source_url":null,"source_url_raw":null,"published":null,"source_kind":"markdown","excerpt":false,"year_inferred":false},{"occurrence_id":"aca7f979e6bafafa14452b8672a2f1d68490ac70b5e3eb6acac7c39ae1da0a76","filename":"patches_1999-2010_combined.txt","adapter":"text","source_offset":714918,"item_index":null,"heading":"March 17, 2005","source_url":null,"source_url_raw":null,"published":null,"source_kind":"text","excerpt":false,"year_inferred":false},{"occurrence_id":"d4dc414d476d5100d76997a95bb33871037aa035cd9100565ab1a7a7c76d1e3c","filename":"patches-2005-1.txt","adapter":"text","source_offset":26724,"item_index":null,"heading":"March 17, 2005","source_url":null,"source_url_raw":null,"published":null,"source_kind":"text","excerpt":false,"year_inferred":false}],"year_inferred":false,"sequence":1,"slug":"2005-03-17-1","id":"2005-03-17-1"},{"patch_date":"2005-03-03","effective_date":"2005-03-03","display_date":"March 3, 2005","title":"March 3, 2005","year":2005,"month":3,"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":"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":["Bazaar & Barter Zone","Spell & Skill Changes","Item changes","Quests, Missions & Events","Tradeskills","Email","Guild Hall","Miscellaneous"],"change_count":47,"word_count":1404,"summary":"Bazaar & Barter Zone *** --------------------------------- We have made the Bazaar zone free for everyone.

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. Anuek has been changed to Aneuk. \n- The boats in East Cabilis should look like boats again. \n- The Bandolier and Potion Belt window shortcuts/binding will now save properly. \n- The map window will properly tint the map area again on the map tab. \n- We've made significant changes to the fog and rain settings in all original \nEverQuest zones. 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":"2005-01-26","effective_date":"2005-01-26","display_date":"January 26, 2005","title":"January 26, 2005","year":2005,"month":1,"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":"ui","label":"UI"},{"slug":"servers","label":"Servers"},{"slug":"expansions","label":"Expansions"}],"sections":[],"change_count":33,"word_count":600,"summary":"Mistmoore and SplitPaw revamps live for all servers New and improved Lavastorm!

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.

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.

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.

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":"2004-08-11","effective_date":"2004-08-11","display_date":"August 11, 2004","title":"August 11, 2004","year":2004,"month":8,"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":"pvp","label":"PvP"},{"slug":"servers","label":"Servers"},{"slug":"expansions","label":"Expansions"}],"sections":["The Watch List","three things","Example"],"change_count":73,"word_count":2425,"summary":"Headlines! _____________________ New PVP System goes live * Raid Leaders can set up and change groups from the Raid Window * Special Skies are back!

Expect some kind of change in the future. \n- Point System: There are still concerns of potential exploits with the \npoint system at this time. Therefore the selection of PvP items \navailable on the merchants will be limited to consumable items for now. \nWe’ll monitor the accumulation of points after this update. If all goes \nwell, we will add a selection of equipment to the merchants in the near \nfuture. \n- Sullon Tokens: As a secondary concern with the point system, we are \ndelaying the addition of the turn-in quest for Sullon Zek tokens. If \nthere’s a potential problem with the point system that eventually \nrequires us to make adjustments to the way points are awarded, we don’t \nwant players to end up with less than full credit for these tokens. \nOnce the point system has had any potential issues ironed out we will \nadd a quest to turn in your tokens for PvP points. \n\nPvP Changes \n- Melee attacks have a 50% increased range. This does not affect thrown \nweapons or archery. \n- All safe zones have been removed save Shadowrest and the Bazaar. \n- The maximum damage any one spell can do is now capped at 40% of the \ntarget’s total hit points, down from 75%. \n- Archery damage has been increased to 80% of its base damage in PvP, \nup from 66%. \n- Being stunned while on a horse will now cause the horse to disappear. \nThis only applies to stuns caused by other players. \n- Lowered player melee mitigation, effectively lowering Armor Class by \n20%. This will increase the damage potential of melee weapons in PvP. \nOriginally the targets full armor class was considered. \n- Player spells now have a separate duration field for PvP. Individual spells will continue to be tuned during beta. \n- Player spells now have a PvP specific resist mod. Spell lines with \nresist mods differing from their normal adjusts initially include: \nMovement Rate \nRoot \nEnthrall \nMana Drain \nStuns \nDirect Damage \nDamage over Time \nPet procs/innates \n- Added higher level snare spells for rangers/druids with increased \nresists mods. This should allow them to land snare spells with similar \nfrequency to other snare spells. These spells are available on the PvP \nmerchants for 1 point each. \n- Necro and Mage pets have had their PvP resists increased to closer \nmatch the existing Beastlord pet resists. \n- Lowered the duration of most snare, Enthrall, and Root spells and \nabilities. \n- Berserker snare is no longer unresistable. \n- Added a set of pumice stones to the PvP merchants that will cast \nvarious forms of dispel magic with a 1.5 second cast, 12 second cast \ntime. \n- Arena deaths will now place you at your bind point, and not in \nshadowrest. \n- PvP Resurrection effects now last 5 minutes + 1 minute/negative \nvitality point. The Max duration is now 15 minutes instead of 25. \n- Made further changes to prevent hill ghosting. Please test this and \ngive feedback. \n- Ranged weapons are no longer restricted by the Z axis, allowing \ngreater freedom of use on varied terrain. \n- Snare will now properly slow mounts. The mount will still be faster \nthen normal running while snared, but will considerably decrease their \nmovement rate. \n- Spells now have a minimum chance of landing of 5%, up from 2%. \n- Water will no longer cause you to be immune to people outside of \nwater and vice versa. \n- Zoning with low health will no longer set your hit points equal to \nthe amount of +HP gear you are wearing. \n- Players killed in PvP combat will now spawn in Shadowrest with full \nequipment. A naked corpse will remain in the location they died for 3 \nhours. Note that this effectively removes item loot from Rallos Zek. \nWith the addition of no drop augments it became rather trivial to \neffectively remove item loot from the server anyway, and we felt the \nbenefits of the new death system outweigh the benefits of an item loot \nsystem. \n- Players who are killed in PvP combat will respawn with special \nresurrection effects on them. The duration of these effects is variable \ndependant on how frequently they die. \n- Summon Corpse Potions are now usable by any class/race. \n- A system to score PvP kills has been implemented. For more \ninformation see below. \n\nScoring System \n\nThe new scoring system will award points to any player who kills \nanother player. If the player is grouped the points will be split \nbetween the players in the group. The points awarded will be based on \nthree things: \n1. Level of the killer \n2. Scoring Modifier \na. Level Difference \nb. Infamy Difference \nc. Vitality score \n3. Time since the victim was last killed by the same player. \n1. Level of the killer \nEach kill has a base point cost determined by the level of the killer. All subsequent \nmodifiers apply to this base number. \n2. Scoring modifier \nThe scoring modifier is based on three things. Each of these factors results in a score \nthat is then applied in whole to the point value of \nthe kill. \n\na. Level Difference \nFor each level the killer is above or below the victim, the scoring \nmodifier increase by one point. If you kill some one who is higher \nlevel than you, you’ll gain more points then you will for a lower level \ncharacter. You will also subtract points from your modifier for killing \na player lower level than you. \n\nHigher level characters are more powerful, and should be worth more \npoints. A victim must be at least level 20 to awards points. \n\nb. Infamy Difference \nEach time you kill another player, points are added to your infamy \npool. At certain thresholds a player will gain an infamy level. When a \nplayer is killed, the infamy levels are compared and the killer gains a \nscoring modifier point for each infamy level his victim is above him. \nHe can also lose scoring modifier points for killing someone who is of \nlower infamy. Infamy will gradually deteriorate while the player is \nonline. \n\nPlayers who regularly PvP are generally of higher skill level then \nthose that do not. This encourages players to kill other players who \nare of more equivalent skill. \n\nc. Vitality \nWhen a player is killed their vitality is set to –10. For each 5 \nminutes they are alive, they will gain back two points of vitality. \nThis vitality total is added directly to the scoring modifier. \n\nA player who dies very frequently is worth less points then one who \nstays alive longer. \n\nd. Group bonus \nGroups of 4 or more will receive a bonus % of points for each kill. \n4/10%, 5/15%, 6/20%. \nExample: \nFrizznik kills Rytan. Frizznik is level 60, while Rytan is level 62 for \na level difference of 2. Frizznik has an infamy level of 5, while Rytan \nhas an infamy level of 2, which results in infamy difference of –3. \nRytan has not recently been killed, so his vitality is 0. Level \nDifference + Infamy Difference + Vitality = Scoring Point Modifier or 2 \n+ (-3) + 0. \nEach scoring modifier point adds or subtracts 5% to the base score. \nNormally Frizznik would gain 100 points for killing Rytan, but because \nof the scoring point modifier he will gain 95 points instead. \n3. Time since the killer has killed the same victim \nPlayers that repeatedly kill the same player will see a steep decrease \nin the amount of points a player is worth. They will gain half the \npoints for the kill they normally would for each time they kill that \nplayer in a 24 hour period. After the score has dropped below 1 point, \nthey will begin to lose points for killing the same player. \n\nLeader Board \n\nThe leader board tracks the players with the most total PvP. A number \nof other useful statistics will be available in the leader board. \n\nPoint Rewards \n\nPlayers will be able to redeem their points for equipment via a Lost \nDungeons of Norrath style adventure merchant interface. These rewards \nwill span from level 20 on up to 65 and include some pieces that are of \nelemental quality and possibly beyond. \n\nA player’s point total is capped based on their level. They cannot gain \nmore points once they hit that cap, although they can gain more infamy. \nThere will be a number of consumable PvP items that will be focused on \nPvP combat, and will only function against other players. \n\nWindowed Mode * \n_____________________ \nThe EverQuest process is now more friendly. Alt+tab'ing to other \nwindows should be much more responsive.You can also choose to adjust \nyour maximum Frames Per Second(FPS) in the Options Window under display \nsettings. The valid range for the slider is 10 to 100. The default is \n100 which means EverQuest will not throttle your FPS. Lowering your \nsetting will cap your FPS at that value and free up the CPU for other \ntasks. \n\nRaid Window Additions \n_____________________ \n- The raid window contains a new row of buttons which the raid leader \ncan use to organize the raid members into groups. \n- Lock/Unlock: The raid must be locked before the raid leader may use \nany of the new buttons. \n- RemLeader: Removes the 'Group Leader' flag from the selected player \nfrom the 'Players Not in a Group' list. (Only 12 players may be Group \nLeaders, so this may be necessary to allow creation of a new group with \na new leader). \n- NoGroup: Removes the selected player from their current group and put \nthem into the 'Players Not in a Group' list. \n- 1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10,11,12: Moves the selected player into the \nnumbered group. \n\nHot Zones have changed! * \n_____________________ \n\nHunt for greater XP rewards in the new Hot Spots. Make your way to the \nfollowing zones. \n\n60-65 Plane of Torment \n55-60 Chardok \n50-55 Grieg's End \n45-50 Nurga \n40-45 City of Mist \n35-40 Kaesora \n30-35 Dalnir \n25-30 Hollowshade Moor \n20-25 Runnyeye \n\nKill a few goblins for me. Oh, and that Grieg guy. \n\nAA Changes \n_____________________ \n- The cleric AA Touch of the Divine has had its healing power \nincreased. The original ability has been refunded, so players who wish \nto retain the ability will need to purchase it again. The portion of \nthe AA that will remove detrimental effects, when it goes off, will not \nbe going in with this update. \n- The necromancer AA Swarm of Decay has been refunded. \n- The shaman AA Call of the Ancients has had its description changed to \nreflect the fact that the summoned ward casts healing spells, not \nendurance regen spells. The ability has been refunded because of this \nconfusion. \n- The rogue ability Seized Opportunity has had its chance to work \nsignificantly increased. \n- The druid ability Viscid Roots was increasing the chance for roots to \nbreak, not decreasing it. This has been corrected. \n- The paladin ability Hastened Piety now affects the reuse time for \nboth Hand of Piety and its upgrade, Pious Supplication. Previously, it \nwasn’t affecting Pious Supplication. \n- When an AA is an upgrade of another AA and both are triggered \nabilities, players can make a hotkey and use either one, but will only \nget the upgraded effect if they use the hotkey for the upgraded \nability. \n- The Mass Group Buff AA will now reset if you duck to cancel the \nspell. \n- The double attack AA now works with secondary hand attacks. \n\nConsent Changes * \n_____________________ \n\nThere are some new consent commands available for groups and raids. \n\n- /consent group -- flags your current corpses so they can be dragged \nby all of your current group members \n- /consent raid -- flags your current corpses so they can be dragged by \nanyone in your raid (including people who join the raid later) \n- /consent guild -- flags your current corpses so they can be dragged \nby anyone in your guild \n- /deny group -- removes the flag \n- /deny raid -- removes the flag \n- /deny guild -- removes the flag \n\nTacvi Changes \n_____________________ \n- Tacvi will no longer give lockout timers.

We'd also \nlike to send a special thanks to all of the players that helped us test the additions on the Test and Beta servers. \nAll of the input we received helped to shape the improvements you've seen in the melee classes. \n\nPlease continue to give your feedback on the melee system or anything else that you feel requires attention. \nIt does make a difference. \n\nOver the last several months there have been several new additions to EverQuest aimed at increasing the desirability \nand relative power of pure melee classes. \n\n- Discipline timers were revamped, allowing greater freedom and frequency of use. \n- Endurance bar was added as a limited resource to power melee abilities and disciplines. \n- Warriors received an innate 5 percent increase in their ability to absorb damage. \n- Warriors received the Incite line of abilities, giving them a new tool for aggro management. \n- Monks received the Phantom Call line of abilities, giving them a new tool for pulling. \n- Several new disciplines were introduced for all three classes. \n\nThe endurance system and the separation of the discipline timers have provided us with new tools to add interesting \nand powerful abilities in the future for melee classes. You can count on seeing new disciplines and abilities as the \ngame progresses and as situations arise that require new abilities to effectively balance class power. We will \ncontinue to evaluate the melee system for both balance and enjoyment. \n\nWe will also continue to review and make changes to each individual class as needed. Class balance is an important \npart of any multiplayer game and requires constant attention. \n\nThanks for helping make EverQuest a great game. \n\n\nItems \n------------------------ \nWe have replaced the spell-like effects on items which produced the following effects: Attack, HP Regen, Mana Regen, \nHaste and Damage Shield with actual statistics. The effects on the item have not changed they are just set up in a \nnew way that we hope will allow for more item functionality in the future. \n\nSeveral Gates smithed weapons have had their damage and delay adjusted to be more in line with the difficulty in \ncrafting them.\n \nThe Copper Hammer of Striking will no longer proc for wielders below level 50. \n\nThe Wailing Coral Staff is now two handed blunt. \n\nBolas are now one-handed projectile rather than ammo. \n\nBola ranges have been adjusted slightly. \n\nAll bolas that can proc will now do so. \n\nAll items that had the \"Cleave\" series of effects removed, have had them returned. \n\nThe drop rate for the following Epic Quest items has been increased slightly: \n\n- Essence of a Vampire \n- Decrepit Hide \n- Staff of Elemental Mastery (earth) \n\n\nExpedition zones \n------------------------- \nYou will now have to wait 5 minutes before you are able to accept another expedition zone. \n\n\nTradeskills \n------------------------- \nIn order to correct many of the issues with the new tradeskill interface it was necessary to remove all learned and \nfavorite recipes. However the system should now work better overall. \n\nThe sell prices for Saltwater Tuna and Saltwater crab, as well as the price for any item made from them, have been \nreduced. \n\nRainbow Trout should now be tradeable. \n\nIf you are not a gnome, you should no longer be able to tinker with a deluxe toolkit kit. If you are a gnome, \nplease tinker away. \n\nYou should now be able to properly search for recipes. \n\nThe trivial level for brewing Fish Wine has been adjusted. \n\n\nBerserkers \n------------------------- \nSome berserker abilities have had their endurance cost changed. \nThe duration of Confusing Strike has been reduced. \nBerserkers should no longer be told that they can bash at level 6. \nThe berserker guildmaster in the Plane of Knowledge has been taught throwing and parry and is ready to train \nberserkers in their use. \n\n\nSpells \n------------------------- \nSome Gates of Discord spells should now drop a little more often. \nSeveral heal spells for Gates of Discord have been modified slightly. \nThe shadow knight Ancient Spell: Bite of Chaos should now work as intended. \n\n\nNPC's \n------------------------- \nHierophant Granix should now give the correct text in Cabilis. \nTrimdet Trueheart in Abysmal Sea is less of a snob and should now speak with you correctly. \nIf you tell Brevik Kalaner in Abysmal what items you [need back], he will return to you any items you've just given him. \n\n\nTribute \n------------------------- \nA few items have had their tribute value adjusted. \nGift of the Enchanters should now work correctly. \nYou should no longer be able to donate containers with items inside for favor. \nPersistent Boon should now give the proper effect. \n\n\nAlternate Advancement \n------------------------- \nDire Charm will no longer reset after being resisted as the ability was successfully initiated. \nDire Charm should now reset when used on an NPC that is too high in level. \n\n\nMiscellaneous \n------------------------- \nCorrected a faction issue with the wizard epic. \n\nThe monk \"Phantom\" line of abilities should no longer be resisted in the level 65 \"hard\" LDoN Adventures. \n\nThe rogue's \"Assassin's Strike\" skill line ability will be re-introduced with the next update. \n\nThe Shining Bloodstone will now be restricted to 2-handed weapons. Any who have placed this augmentation in a \n1-handed weapon will find the augmentation on their cursor when they log in. If you find that you have no practical \nuse for the 2-handed augmentation, please petition and a suitable 1-handed replacement will be made available to you. \n\n\n- The EverQuest Team","content_hash":"d359b272e499d9db3d6a222a5edec7a67d42f96d42853f8b58e81b659eda22d7","source_files":["patches-2004-1.txt","patches_1999-2008_combined.md","patches_1999-2010_combined.txt"],"source_titles":["March 10, 2004"],"source_url":null,"source_urls":[],"occurrence_count":3,"source_occurrences":[{"occurrence_id":"bc897e708078d7d1abdb55900de7b8a5c35cd3094898b35349a971dc0d61accb","filename":"patches_1999-2008_combined.md","adapter":"markdown","source_offset":576962,"item_index":null,"heading":"March 10, 2004","source_url":null,"source_url_raw":null,"published":null,"source_kind":"markdown","excerpt":false,"year_inferred":false},{"occurrence_id":"b94daac66b84d098952b406e01816eea9a020d8eabbb86658170c5814d38d293","filename":"patches_1999-2010_combined.txt","adapter":"text","source_offset":594219,"item_index":null,"heading":"March 10, 2004","source_url":null,"source_url_raw":null,"published":null,"source_kind":"text","excerpt":false,"year_inferred":false},{"occurrence_id":"16534b4e18bc0a962c1677d3e01f9ad6213bbe575e66a96b1cf7f47e7ca44897","filename":"patches-2004-1.txt","adapter":"text","source_offset":11168,"item_index":null,"heading":"March 10, 2004","source_url":null,"source_url_raw":null,"published":null,"source_kind":"text","excerpt":false,"year_inferred":false}],"year_inferred":false,"sequence":1,"slug":"2004-03-10-1","id":"2004-03-10-1"},{"patch_date":"2004-01-30","effective_date":"2004-01-30","display_date":"January 30, 2004","title":"January 30, 2004","year":2004,"month":1,"kind":"live","era":"EverQuest Live","expansion":"Lost Dungeons of Norrath","expansion_code":"lost-dungeons-of-norrath","categories":[{"slug":"bug-fixes","label":"Bug Fixes"},{"slug":"spells-aa","label":"Spells & AA"},{"slug":"zones-npcs","label":"Zones & NPCs"},{"slug":"servers","label":"Servers"},{"slug":"expansions","label":"Expansions"}],"sections":[],"change_count":3,"word_count":136,"summary":"Tonight we have a small update to fix some general bugs.

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":"2003-08-26","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.

The…","content":"** Zone Revamps ** \n\n- The Deep, Charasis (Howling Stones), Dragon Necropolis, Siren's \nGrotto, The Hole, The City of Mist, and The Accursed Temple of Cazic-\nThule 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":"2003-08-07","effective_date":"2003-08-07","display_date":"August 7, 2003 7:30 pm","title":"August 7, 2003 7:30 pm","year":2003,"month":8,"kind":"live","era":"EverQuest Live","expansion":"The Legacy of Ykesha","expansion_code":"the-legacy-of-ykesha","categories":[{"slug":"zones-npcs","label":"Zones & NPCs"},{"slug":"quests-events","label":"Quests & Events"},{"slug":"servers","label":"Servers"},{"slug":"expansions","label":"Expansions"}],"sections":["Lost Dungeons of Norrath Adventures"],"change_count":0,"word_count":478,"summary":"Lost Dungeons of Norrath Adventures ** The Lost Dungeons of Norrath is our largest expansion to-date, featuring the most content ever delivered in an EverQuest expansion.

Encounter never before seen \nmonsters that prowl the halls of these dungeons, waiting to challenge \nany explorer brave enough to venture in. \n\nIn this expansion, players are introduced to several exciting new \nconcepts in adventuring through the world of EverQuest. After joining \nthe Wayfarers Brotherhood, you and your group undertake perilous new \nadventures into the recently unearthed Lost Dungeons of Norrath. These \nnew adventures offer many benefits, including a clearly defined goal, \nthe ability to play and make progress in a couple hours per adventure, \nand the confidence that you can set a time to meet your friends and \nhave a dungeon fully available for you right away - no competition and \nno waiting! \n\nAdditionally, one of the most important gameplay improvements we've \nmade in Lost Dungeons of Norrath is the introduction of personalized \ndungeon adventures for single groups. When you and your group receive \nan adventure, you're provided with a full dungeon exclusively for your \nown use. There's no need to worry that you're competing against others \nto reach the same goal, or that someone might already be camping there. \nAll the focus is on having fun, which allows you to get lost in the \nadventuring and fighting to accomplish your objective. The challenge is \nthe dungeons themselves - if you can best the Lost Dungeons, you \ndeserve the rewards. \n\nLost Dungeons of Norrath breaks the mold of traditional zones by \nallowing every zone in the expansion to provide adventures for all \ngroups between levels 20 and 65. Each time you embark on a new \nadventure, you're sent to one of 48 distinct dungeon zones, each \ncustomized with challenging monsters and traps tailored to the level of \nyour group. This means, as long as you're over level 20, you'll have 48 \nchallenging new dungeons to explore and conquer! \n\nBeyond the hundreds of single-group adventures in the Lost Dungeons \nexpansion, you can also join up to 36 of your friends for powerful raid \nencounters! Take part in several new raids that you can do on your own \nschedule, with no competition or racing against other guilds. Set up \nraiding times that are convenient for you and your friends, with the \nknowledge that the dungeon will be there waiting for you when you log \nin! \n\nThe Lost Dungeons of Norrath expansion will redefine EverQuest by \nproviding an enormous amount of adventuring possibilities, with the \naddition of massive amounts of content to the game - far more than any \nprevious expansion. \n\nPre-order yours today by pressing Pre-order at the server select \nscreen, or at https://store.station.sony.com!","content_hash":"6cc696151a56bca3e06e6ae852c676ad3603fc808ebc849dbc3ae997158021f3","source_files":["patches-2003-2.txt","patches_1999-2008_combined.md","patches_1999-2010_combined.txt"],"source_titles":["August 7, 2003 7:30 pm"],"source_url":null,"source_urls":[],"occurrence_count":3,"source_occurrences":[{"occurrence_id":"9ef1077ca042b5cab03d99e51efed27c9e39409f3ad048357da15d9e8dc1efe5","filename":"patches_1999-2008_combined.md","adapter":"markdown","source_offset":516536,"item_index":null,"heading":"August 7, 2003 7:30 pm","source_url":null,"source_url_raw":null,"published":null,"source_kind":"markdown","excerpt":false,"year_inferred":false},{"occurrence_id":"e291c791ee49a0ee5d3a76ec34927890b201723ae1740b6f0b27266ba478201b","filename":"patches_1999-2010_combined.txt","adapter":"text","source_offset":532293,"item_index":null,"heading":"August 7, 2003 7:30 pm","source_url":null,"source_url_raw":null,"published":null,"source_kind":"text","excerpt":false,"year_inferred":false},{"occurrence_id":"a3becf49f10b2da8aea8a8db170ef92b17ba86746db6cd0d5917c193d9b47de4","filename":"patches-2003-2.txt","adapter":"text","source_offset":14967,"item_index":null,"heading":"August 7, 2003 7:30 pm","source_url":null,"source_url_raw":null,"published":null,"source_kind":"text","excerpt":false,"year_inferred":false}],"year_inferred":false,"sequence":2,"slug":"2003-08-07-2","id":"2003-08-07-2"},{"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":"2003-06-24","effective_date":"2003-06-24","display_date":"June 24, 2003","title":"June 24, 2003","year":2003,"month":6,"kind":"live","era":"EverQuest Live","expansion":"The Legacy of Ykesha","expansion_code":"the-legacy-of-ykesha","categories":[{"slug":"zones-npcs","label":"Zones & NPCs"},{"slug":"servers","label":"Servers"}],"sections":[],"change_count":0,"word_count":64,"summary":"Stability - we have made some changes that should increase server stability.

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":"2003-05-27","effective_date":"2003-05-27","display_date":"May 27, 2003","title":"May 27, 2003","year":2003,"month":5,"kind":"live","era":"EverQuest Live","expansion":"The Legacy of Ykesha","expansion_code":"the-legacy-of-ykesha","categories":[{"slug":"zones-npcs","label":"Zones & NPCs"},{"slug":"servers","label":"Servers"},{"slug":"expansions","label":"Expansions"}],"sections":["Experience System Change - Grouping","Experience System Change - Level 60+"],"change_count":0,"word_count":555,"summary":"Experience System Change - Grouping ** We've made some improvements to the way experience is rewarded in all of EverQuest.

At its core, the idea is to positively reinforce \ngrouping. There should never be any penalty to adding \"that sixth \nperson over there,\" whatever class they may be, into your group. That \nis exactly the type of behavior that should be rewarded.\n\nIn a massively multi-player game, any mechanic that penalizes those who \ngroup is one that we need to take a serious look at. While there are \ndefinite benefits to forming \"well balanced\" groups in terms of damage, \ntanking, healing, and support, there shouldn't be an active penalty to \nthose who cannot find groups of \"optimal\" balance.\n\nAs it stands in EverQuest, groups gain a 2% to 20% experience bonus, \nwhich we refer to as the \"group bonus\", for having two to six members. \nIn practice, however, this has never been much of a bonus, even in the \ncase of a full group, given that the experience was already being \ndivided six ways.\n\nIn the past, we had also attempted to reward people for adventuring in \nthe more challenging Planes of Power zones by making those zones give a \nbetter rate of experience.\n\nAs of this update, groups now gain 20% to 80% \"group bonus\" experience \nfor having two to five members. \n\nFull, six-person, groups now see an additional bonus. Their experience \nis only divided five ways, yet they still gain the 80% \"group bonus.\" \nFor those who think in terms of pie charts, it amounts to a larger \npiece of a larger pie.\n\nAccordingly, the bonus inherent to Planes of Power zones will be \ndecreased slightly. However, as long as person is grouped with at least \none other, they will see an improvement in experience gain over the old \nsystem. The one down side to the new system is that there will be a \nslight decrease in experience for those who do not group, and only for \nthose who do so in Planes of Power zones.\n\nWe realize that we are, essentially, \"manufacturing\" a new type of \nexperience after a kill. As players, we also understand it is the \npeople who spend time in full groups who have to deal with the most \ninterruptions and setup time caused by organizing the extra people. It \nsimply makes sense to reward that extra time, especially if it means \nbringing more people together. After all, that's the whole point.\n\nWe look forward to seeing how these changes play out on Test Server.\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 person experience after they reach level 60. The \n\"blue to 65\" range has been increased as far as level 50, with the \n\"light blue\" range extending to level 45. The best benefits, however, \nare still for fighting things around and above your level. \n\nThe world of EverQuest, at this point in its history, is truly immense \nand full of the best and most interesting content and visuals out \nthere. Ideally, when a person logs on they should have a wide array of \nplaces in which to adventure. The addition of new content shouldn't \nentirely obsolete what already exists. Hopefully these changes will \nonce again make that the case.","content_hash":"842fd7fe3d33a9026e21c52f8997360ba4bcf3f16283f8e2c7f2b73ec8f3afda","source_files":["patches-2003-1.txt","patches_1999-2008_combined.md","patches_1999-2010_combined.txt"],"source_titles":["May 27, 2003"],"source_url":null,"source_urls":[],"occurrence_count":3,"source_occurrences":[{"occurrence_id":"4ce0291f0d4541fa7f7467406a4116e8bd7aa84dbebd9db4b99d4fa6a06951bc","filename":"patches_1999-2008_combined.md","adapter":"markdown","source_offset":479627,"item_index":null,"heading":"May 27, 2003","source_url":null,"source_url_raw":null,"published":null,"source_kind":"markdown","excerpt":false,"year_inferred":false},{"occurrence_id":"1acf78a9982a70bae93dec0f556d515d5076634a2c80915eb3270e714844efbb","filename":"patches_1999-2010_combined.txt","adapter":"text","source_offset":494248,"item_index":null,"heading":"May 27, 2003","source_url":null,"source_url_raw":null,"published":null,"source_kind":"text","excerpt":false,"year_inferred":false},{"occurrence_id":"f88af3b9fc0f0a3e6a9367c8bd5d5c4a3186e2d0a70586e87547ffb99883f86c","filename":"patches-2003-1.txt","adapter":"text","source_offset":85167,"item_index":null,"heading":"May 27, 2003","source_url":null,"source_url_raw":null,"published":null,"source_kind":"text","excerpt":false,"year_inferred":false}],"year_inferred":false,"sequence":1,"slug":"2003-05-27-1","id":"2003-05-27-1"},{"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!

At the same time we created all new geometry for the zone \nusing our newer tools and newer design ideas.  Old and new players \nshould find this zone to be a lot of fun and a fair challenge.  \nRemember, the price for the Fuligan Soulstone of Innoruuk has been cut \nin half.\n\n** Veksar **\n\nVeksar opens on Stormhammer!\n\nYes, the long-lost ancient city of the Iksar has been discovered.  If \nyou're brave enough, foolish enough, and if you can hold your breath, \nyou may be the right hero to explore Veksar.  Good luck!\n\n** Changes for New Players **\n\n- Maps for Newbie Zones for all Players - One of the biggest hurdles \nthat a new player has to overcome is learning their way around.  For \nthose of you that may have started your first character in Neriak, \nyoull know what that was like.  In order to help out the new player, \nweve enabled the Map window to make it available to all players if they \nare in a \"newbie zone.\n\n- Context Tips - In order to provide helpful information at the time a \nplayer needs it, we have added several context tips.  These tips will \npop up when a player uses a certain feature or a specific event occurs.  \nWe hope this will help our new players to more easily understand the \ngameplay and controls for EverQuest.  These tips may even be useful to \nlong time players.  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":"2003-04-30","effective_date":"2003-04-30","display_date":"April 30, 2003","title":"April 30, 2003","year":2003,"month":4,"kind":"live","era":"EverQuest Live","expansion":"The Legacy of Ykesha","expansion_code":"the-legacy-of-ykesha","categories":[{"slug":"servers","label":"Servers"}],"sections":[],"change_count":2,"word_count":58,"summary":"We've taken the opportunity while the servers are unavailable for maintenance to update a couple of things.

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.

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.

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":"2003-03-13","effective_date":"2003-03-13","display_date":"March 13, 2003 4:00 am","title":"March 13, 2003 4:00 am","year":2003,"month":3,"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":"ui","label":"UI"},{"slug":"servers","label":"Servers"},{"slug":"expansions","label":"Expansions"}],"sections":["Spells","Items","Alternate Advancement","Quests","Interface","NPCs","Zones","Miscellaneous","Special Deals","Become a Guide!"],"change_count":114,"word_count":2298,"summary":"Spells ** Added the ability for any caster to research dropped priest spells using the research books found in Gunthak.

This \nis a change in the spell data as the first part of a two-part change \nneeded to correct the \"Recast time not met\" problem. More information \nis available at the Developer's Corner at www.everquest.com. \n\n** Alternate Advancement/Special Abilities ** \n\n- The range on the Bard Ability \"Boastful Bellow\" has been increased \nslightly. \n- Fixed a bug with Harm Touch that was not allowing it to increase the \nstandard amount per level over level 60. \n\n** User Interface ** \n\n- Fixed a bug with effects in the Songs window. They were not getting \nremoved on the client when the bard was dispelled. \n- Introduced new Story window. The purpose of this window is to provide \nstory updates in a readily available location. ALT-N toggles the \nwindow. You can select to have the window pop up when new story \nelements are added if you wish. \n- Item Links are once again creatable from Items and from other Item \nLinks. Please do not attempt to \"mine\" the servers for undiscovered \nitems. Links now have a built-in mechanism to prevent those who would \ngo on fishing expeditions by sending up many bad links in an attempt to \ndiscover new items. These invalid links are logged, as are the accounts \nof those who create them. \n- Added an optional confirmation box before spending AA points. To turn \non this confirmation box, please check the Options window. \n\n** Miscellaneous ** \n\n- Sage Quests in Plane of Knowledge have been fixed. \n- The event to fight Bertoxxulous in the Crypt of Decay will reset 4 to \n6 hours after the event is failed.

However, with the release of \nsome of the new features in this patch, such as running EQ in a window, \nwe must now say goodbye to the older interfaces. They have been \ndisabled as of today. \n\nThey served us well. \n\n** EQ in a Window ** \n\nEverQuest can now be run in a window. To place EverQuest in a window, \nsimply press Alt-Enter. You can also switch out of EverQuest to another \nprogram by using the familiar Alt-Tab. It is important that you do not \ndo this until you are in-game, do not do this during the login process. \n\nIt is important to note a few things. Running the game in a window may \nreduce game performance a bit. And, as always, the more programs you \nhave running at the same time the more resources they use. \n\nAt this time, due to some changes that need to be made on the front \nend, it is not possible to run two instances of EverQuest. We will be \nworking to make the necessary changes over the next few weeks. \n\n** Songs Window ** \n\nWe have added a new window to the interface along with new game \nfunctionality. The Songs window is a new buff window that holds up to 6 \nbard song buffs. This increases the potential maximum effects that a \ncharacter can have to 21 (15 standard and the 6 new ones). The new \nwindow only holds certain bard songs (generally the 3-tick songs). Only \nbeneficial songs will qualify for the new buff box, and not all of \nthose. Any buff in the new Songs window is considered temporary and \nwill not be saved when you zone. \n\nSongs that qualify to go into the new window will go into that window \nfirst. Any qualifying songs over six will be rerouted to the main \nEffects window. Cancel Magic effects will see these new buff slots as \nbuff slots #16-21. \n\nNote for User Interface skin creators: The Label EQTypes 80-85 are the \nSongs window song names. \n\n- Some magical effects on Planar class armor have been altered. In most \ncases the effects were upgraded, but a few items were given weaker \neffects that were more in line with the difficulty of obtaining them. \n- Fixed a bug that was causing a few Planes of Power NPCs to take too \nlong to respawn. \n- Wu's Attack should now work correctly. \n- Incoming damage now interacts with Wrath of the Wild and other rune-\ntype spells in their proper order. \n- Pact of Shadow and Shadow Compact will once again heal player \ncharacters. \n- Charmed Pets will no longer remain charmed after the owner dies. \n- Sending special characters via EQIM will no longer \nfreeze the game. \n- Hitting Autoattack when in explore mode at Character Select will no \nlonger cause the game to crash. \n- The Loadskin window will now load skins other than the default \nproperly. \n- Fixed and issue that caused some NPC's text to be cut short. \n- Fixed (but did not rename) the Broken Golem. He should no longer be \nhated in Fear, just feared... \n-Lowered the duration of calm-type spells that effect creatures level \n50 and over. \n\n** User Interface File Changes ** \n\nShortDurationBuffwnd.xml - NEW \nEQUI.xml \nBugReportwnd.xml \nLootwnd.xml \nSelectorwnd.xml \nPetInfownd.xml \nWindow_ Pieces04.tga","content_hash":"ab456e785821c7f67d684b58f36f7c1845ec101eaf1b3a59e20e86b9523d02ac","source_files":["patches-2003-1.txt","patches_1999-2008_combined.md","patches_1999-2010_combined.txt"],"source_titles":["January 9, 2003"],"source_url":null,"source_urls":[],"occurrence_count":3,"source_occurrences":[{"occurrence_id":"80f9852fc2d0ce7de60cab725702a9d1115723ae0d4972b457793ac67d27090c","filename":"patches_1999-2008_combined.md","adapter":"markdown","source_offset":396115,"item_index":null,"heading":"January 9, 2003","source_url":null,"source_url_raw":null,"published":null,"source_kind":"markdown","excerpt":false,"year_inferred":false},{"occurrence_id":"8f6b5ab44860262c97cdd14fbe498848eb02f4616b3441b3725b12a65a573af4","filename":"patches_1999-2010_combined.txt","adapter":"text","source_offset":409183,"item_index":null,"heading":"January 9, 2003","source_url":null,"source_url_raw":null,"published":null,"source_kind":"text","excerpt":false,"year_inferred":false},{"occurrence_id":"a7c52f9aaa1fb67ed7b97837af01fd2014b9e1e3ae3171719c33b79be0c270f0","filename":"patches-2003-1.txt","adapter":"text","source_offset":102,"item_index":null,"heading":"January 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":"2003-01-09-1","id":"2003-01-09-1"},{"patch_date":"2002-11-14","effective_date":"2002-11-14","display_date":"November 14, 2002","title":"November 14, 2002","year":2002,"month":11,"kind":"live","era":"EverQuest Live","expansion":"The Planes of Power","expansion_code":"the-planes-of-power","categories":[{"slug":"zones-npcs","label":"Zones & NPCs"},{"slug":"servers","label":"Servers"}],"sections":[],"change_count":5,"word_count":79,"summary":"Addressed an issue with the Vallon Zek encounter.

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.

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":"2002-06-12","effective_date":"2002-06-12","display_date":"June 12, 2002 News Story: Prexus Server Crashes Entirely","title":"June 12, 2002 News Story: Prexus Server Crashes Entirely","year":2002,"month":6,"kind":"news","era":"EverQuest Live","expansion":"The Shadows of Luclin","expansion_code":"the-shadows-of-luclin","categories":[{"slug":"bug-fixes","label":"Bug Fixes"},{"slug":"items","label":"Items"},{"slug":"servers","label":"Servers"}],"sections":[],"change_count":0,"word_count":246,"summary":"Last night at about 1:00 in the morning Prexus had a severe breakdown.

This was actually included in lastnight's \npatch but was not mentioned.\n\n- To address the competition between epic-seeking bards and other \nclasses, the infamous White Dragon Scale is no longer used in the quest \ngiven by Karam Dragonforge in Rathe Mountains. The quest now requires a \nWhite Dragon Hide. We did not reduce the rate at which White Dragon \nScales enter the world, but rather added new potential for the new \nWhite Dragon Hide to be found.\n\n** Focus Items **\n\n- Spell casting time foci should report their new casting time \nproperly.\n\n- Spell duration foci designed to affect DoTs (the Affliction line) \nshould now work reliably.\n\n- Spell duration foci affecting beneficial spells are no longer random. \nThey now always extend the affected buffs for their maximum. (We never \nwanted to make it harder to time your buffs.)\n\n- The Affliction focus line should now only be affecting spells that do \ndamage.\n\n- Bards should no longer get focus item messages that weren't actually \naffecting them.\n\n- We've re-assigned quite a few of the focus items to have their \noriginally intended effect. \n\nAll of the same items have focus effects. However, as many people \nnoticed, quite a few effects were mis-assigned due to a tools error. \n(Common, mid level items were frequently being assigned high level \neffects, and vice versa.) \n\nThis situation has been fixed, and the items now have the effects that \nwe originally planned for them.\n\n** Firiona Vie **\n\n- Your server should once again have Trivial Loot Code enabled.

Also, hit point reduction \nitems should not lower hit points below 1\n- Tinkered Compass now adds the appropriate bonus to the sense heading \nskill\n- Hit point bonuses on food items should be working\n\n** Spells **\n\n- Higher level familiars should once again survive when their masters \ngo invisible, Abscond or Evac\n- Fixed a bug that was preventing the Lesser Familiar mana regeneration \ncomponent from working\n- Familiars no longer cause damage to their master upon death\n- Familiar buff remains after the caster uses the /pet get lost command \nto remove the visual representation\n- Torrent of Fatigue should be working properly now\n- Allure of the Wild has had its level cap raised to make it a useful \nupgrade \n- Umbra has been improved to give a slightly higher AC benefit \n- A character can no longer trade with an NPC when invisible.

The \nproblem was with filters that allowed players to ignore spells that \nwere hitting them. The following changes were needed to fix this issue\n- Player characters will now always see spells that hit them and spells \nthey cast\n- Players with the Group option set for PC spells will see the start \nspell casting messages for people in their group and they will also see \nwhen member of their group are hit with spells\n- Players with the ALL option will still see all PC spells and spell \nhits\n\n** Spell Stacking **\n\nGeneral stacking changes: Some buffs were not being allowed to stack \nwhich now will stack, and other buffs were being allowed to stack which \nshould not have. \n\nFor example, many stacking problems with spells that have a See \nInvisible or Levitate component are now gone (e.g. Dead Man Floating), \nwhile a number of stacking exploits that granted too much regeneration, \ntoo much offense (ATK), too large of a damage shield, or too many hit \npoints have been fixed.

This may \nslightly improve the functionality of the Evade skill\n- Poison should no longer be interrupted\n- Sneak only breaks when a character is hit, not when he hits someone\n- Fixed a bug that was causing a problem when Pick Pockets was used \nbefore Beg had refreshed.

We've also increased the rate that position updates are made \nby moving player characters, using up some of those saved resources but \nmaking movement a bit smoother\n- Stationary NPCs should no longer warp when they aggro/summon\n- NPCs who shout names while they Death Touch should be fixed\n- Teleports arriving in some zones should spread the arrivals out a bit \nmore. Affected zones are Nexus, Skyfire, Emerald Jungle, Butcherblock \nMountains, South Ro, Greater Faydark, Tox, North Karana, West Commons \nand Lavastorm\n- Fixed the bug that was preventing players from seeing the \"your spell \nis interrupted\" or the NPCs spell interruption message\n- Fixed the issue with boats depositing players at the safe point of \nthe zone after zoning\n- Fixed the strange floating NPC bug (seeing NPCs floating in the air \nafter zoning)\n- /cry is now working\n- /consent %t should allow the consented character to drag your corpse\n- Target Nearest NPC (F8 by default) has been fixed.\n\n** Sullon Zek Rules Change **\n\nWe have increased the number of character that can be created on an \naccount to three. These characters, however, must be on the same team\n\n** Firiona Vie Rules Changes **\n\nSince the launch of Firiona Vie we have had tremendous support for this \nspecial server from players who want a very roleplaying immersive \nenvironment. Players have made numerous suggestions to tweak the \nruleset a little more. We have taken many of those suggestions and made \nchanges accordingly. \n\nWe will be keeping the following rules intact: \n\n* /ooc will remain unavailable to remind people that acting in \ncharacter is strongly recommended. \n* The Common language will remain out, to help maintain the feeling of \nrace-based community and to allow people to continue to roleplay \nsomeone with a native tongue. \n* The Trivial Loot Code and all of the special rules for no-drop items \nwill remain. This has worked out nicely for the sense of community on \nthe server. \n* The one character per account restriction will remain.\n\nHowever, we will be removing the following restrictions:\n\n* Anonymous/roleplay flags will no longer be required. They will remain \navailable, but forcing anonymity on characters was causing undue \nproblems finding groups and other such things that are essential to \nenjoyable gameplay. \n* The language learning limit/speed restrictions will be removed. While \nthe idea of limited languages seemed like a good idea, this is another \nitem that was just making it too hard to actually play the game. \nRoleplayers that don't want their characters to be overly literate \nalways have the option to play their characters that way. \n* /shout and /auction have returned to unrestricted use to allow easier \ngrouping and selling. People are welcome to filter those channels if \nthey prefer not to see them, but the benefits of having them availabe \nis just too great. /ooc will remain disabled on this server. Obviously, \nacting in character on any channel is strongly recommended. \n* Alignment restrictions has been removed. Forced restrictions for \ngrouping make playing the game too much of a chore. Characters, \nhowever, may always decide who they wish to group with based on any \nfactors the character perceives. If your Dark Elf won't group with a \npaladin, he doesn't have to (and shouldn't). If your cleric of \nQuellious wants to heal a necromancer because healing people is the \nright thing to do for him, then you should be able to do so. But not \nallowing these things is a restriction on your ability to play that \ncharacter 'in-character', and a real hindrance to general gameplay.\n\nAgain, it's important to understand that this is still a roleplaying \npreferred server. The rules that we are changing were often as much of \na restriction to one's ability to roleplay as they were a help. And the \nartificial barriers to grouping, especially the trouble created in just \nfinding a group, needed to be removed to allow people to actually play \nthe game.","content_hash":"2f5c68b00512a5d734b3cd638b10e93048c44eed64198d875ae129917be08729","source_files":["patches-2002-1.txt","patches_1999-2008_combined.md","patches_1999-2010_combined.txt"],"source_titles":["May 8, 2002 3:00 am"],"source_url":null,"source_urls":[],"occurrence_count":3,"source_occurrences":[{"occurrence_id":"14bacc856c88ec78606eee4dd73684e76247fb85bdfc6335d44df8ea36e0ffdd","filename":"patches_1999-2008_combined.md","adapter":"markdown","source_offset":319135,"item_index":null,"heading":"May 8, 2002 3:00 am","source_url":null,"source_url_raw":null,"published":null,"source_kind":"markdown","excerpt":false,"year_inferred":false},{"occurrence_id":"e776b30e558ee6c5345d26cbc4378a5aec9b5dfaebad0fe4352f03de8226b6db","filename":"patches_1999-2010_combined.txt","adapter":"text","source_offset":330288,"item_index":null,"heading":"May 8, 2002 3:00 am","source_url":null,"source_url_raw":null,"published":null,"source_kind":"text","excerpt":false,"year_inferred":false},{"occurrence_id":"3a18771cd8596ae1f631ac04eceb54e35bf74d648e046340a653af79314666fb","filename":"patches-2002-1.txt","adapter":"text","source_offset":51471,"item_index":null,"heading":"May 8, 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":"2002-05-08-1","id":"2002-05-08-1"},{"patch_date":"2002-03-19","effective_date":"2002-03-19","display_date":"March 19, 2002","title":"March 19, 2002","year":2002,"month":3,"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":"pvp","label":"PvP"},{"slug":"servers","label":"Servers"},{"slug":"audio-graphics","label":"Audio & Graphics"},{"slug":"expansions","label":"Expansions"}],"sections":["Changes for Low Level Characters","Alternate Advancement Abilities","Spells/Songs","Zones","Items","Combat","Client/Interface","Pathing","Miscellaneous"],"change_count":84,"word_count":1768,"summary":"We wanted to start by letting everyone know how grateful we are for all of the suggestions for improvements that we've received both in EMail and on the various class and server boards.

This should allow players to set the loading of each race and \nsex individually for their normal game play, but then quickly turn all \nmodels off for a raid or other such circumstances \n- Added /rtarget function (can be used as /rt). This function targets \nthe last character to send you a /tell.

Messages should no \nlonger be lost while zoning (unless zoning takes more than about 10 \nminutes for any reason) \n- You should be able to keep typing whatever you were in the middle of \ntyping when you zoned... but it might not be processed till you're in \nthe new zone \n- If someone is on your ignore list and they do a /random, you \nshouldn't see it anymore \n\n** Pathing ** \n\n- Corrected some pathing in Ak'Anon that was preventing some NPCs from \nreaching certain areas \n- Corrected some pathing issues in Acrylia Caverns \n- Corrected a problem with the entrance from Hollowshade Moor into \nPaludal Caverns that was preventing Beastlord Warders from entering the \nzone \n\n** Miscellaneous ** \n\n- Many cases where characters would stab themselves with their weapons \nwhen sitting should have been eliminated.\n- Player characters no longer broadcast their location when they are \nstationary. 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 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...

We are going to split the Test \npatcher and the Live patcher back into two separate programs.\n\nThis means that in order to access the Test Server you will need to run \nTestEverQuest.exe, which you will find in your EverQuest directory. To \nplay on the Live Servers just start EverQuest as you always have.\n\nThere are a few advantages to separating the two patchers. Splitting \nthem up makes it a little easier, as a player, to be sure that you are \nheaded to the right server when you double click the icon. It's also a \nlittle more intuitive for those that want to run the game in two \ndirectories.\n\nUsing two directories for EverQuest does use up a lot of hard drive \nspace. However, for those with enough space that play regularly on both \nTest and on Live servers, this is a safer and faster way to work. Using \nthe same directory means that each time you change servers (Live to \nTest or Test to Live) you will have to patch. The data on the Test \nServer is very rarely the same as that on Live servers.\n\nAnd for us internally it makes it easier to test new patchers. It gives \nus one more step for testing. Now we can push a patcher to the Test \nServer and try it out there after internal testing and before it goes \nto the Live servers.\n\nIn any case, we've decided to move back to the old way. Starting on \nMonday, February 5th, 2002 you will need to run TestEverQuest.exe to \npatch and play on the Test server, and Everquest.exe to patch and play \non the Live servers.\n\n* Patch Message Addendum *\n\nThe command line argument \"/test\" should no longer be used to play on \nthe Test Server. Anyone using this should remove this argument from \ntheir shortcut. Please manually select \"TestServer\" from the Advanced \nOptions window to use the Test Server.

If all \nthe PCs involved are highly regarded (have very high faction) the \nguards will allow them to resolve their own issues without interfering.\n\n- Guards should also refrain from attacking PCs that are attacked by \npets of any sort.\n\n- Sullon Zek now has an across the board experience bonus of 20%, and \nthe experience loss on all deaths on Sullon Zek is now 50% less.\n\n** Zone Specific Changes **\n\n- Kael now has specific bind locations, located only at the entryways. \nThis means that binding will only be possible in those areas.\n\n- Anti-bottom feeding code has been removed from the Stonebrunt \nMountains and the Warrens.\n\n- Added a melee bind location to the dock in Iceclad.\n\n** Bug Fixes **\n\n- Fixed a bug that allowed corpses to exist inside walls. Now if a \ncorpse ends up in a location that is not 'valid' the corpse will be \nmoved to the 'safe coordinates' of the zone. Also, the /corpse command \nwill now summon your own corpse to you anywhere in the zone as long as \nthat corpse is on the safe spot of the zone. This should prevent \ncorpses from being stuck in walls.\n\n- Fixed it so that Critical Hit damage messages match the actual damage done.\n\n- The visible damage bonus modifier on two-handed weapons has been \ncorrected. The value that was displayed was incorrect, no change has \nbeen made to the damage bonus itself.\n\n** Item Changes **\n\n- Fixed an issue with the Bardic Epic weapon. Now if the bard has his \nEpic and an instrument that gives bonuses to songs, the best effect \nwill take precedence, rather than the Epic bonuses always being used.\n\n- Cloak of Imperception should now have charges. You will need to \nexchange your old one for a new one with your GM within the next five \ndays.\n\n- Donal's Chestplate of Mourning has unlimited charges again.\n\n** Gameplay/Interface Changes/Additions **\n\n- We have changed the way the /consider command works. We have added a \n'light blue' area between green and blue. NPCs that used to /consider \ngreen but gave experience will now /consider light blue, as well as \nNPCs of slightly lower level than those greens. You will always get \nexperience for something that is light blue. You will not receive \nexperience for greens. At the same time, by including lower level NPCs \nin the light blue /consider, we have increased the range of lower level \nNPCs that will grant experience. This will be most noticeable for \ncharacters of higher level.\n\n- Added /targetgroupbuff. Type /targetgroupbuff on to activate, off to \nturn it off. When on, all group buff spells you cast will require a \ntarget but will affect everyone grouped (and in range) with that \ntarget, even if it is not your own group. When it is off your group \nbuff spells will act normally. This will only work with group buffs \nthat have a duration, and will not affect heals, portals or change form \nspells.\n\n- Added code that will put one item onto your cursor if it won't fit \ninto your inventory due to a cancelled trade or looting items (and \nother cases). This will only work if there is not already an item on \nthe cursor.\n\n- Added code that prevents player characters from dropping coins on the \nground. This should prevent the loss of coins due to accident or scam.\n\n- Made a modification to the chase camera mouselook code. Moving the \nmouse forward or back in this camera view will make the camera move up \nand down, and the camera also automatically pitches to keep your \ncharacter in view.\n\n- You now see the number of hit points you are healed, and you also now \nsee how many hit points you heal when healing others.\n\n** Skill Changes **\n\n- Bard Piercing cap was raised to 250 at 60th level.\n\n- Foraging and Fishing will now result in a wider variety of items, \nespecially in zones that have unusual items available to forage or fish \n(such as quest items). Quest and unique items were too common in zones \nthat had them, often making it hard to use those skills to obtain items \nsuch as food and drink. These quest and rare items will now actually be \nrarely foraged or fished, as they should have been. Such items will \nstill be available, even to those with low foraging skills, but they \nwill be more easily found by those who have practiced the skills.\n\n*** Norrathian News ***\n\nBoisterous shouts can be heard across the lands as carriers herald the \narrival of the latest volume of their city's newspapers. Citizens rush \nto get a copy of these publications to read the featured articles, \nlatest gossip, and community news for their hometowns.\n\n- The EverQuest Team","content_hash":"89abadf7fc5fcaed654c729b88268e071d9ba7aa17497abc5e2fb2534dc00402","source_files":["patches-2001-2.txt","patches_1999-2008_combined.md","patches_1999-2010_combined.txt"],"source_titles":["November 7, 2001"],"source_url":null,"source_urls":[],"occurrence_count":3,"source_occurrences":[{"occurrence_id":"d25826ab3d22331bd67825f56fe1bd1c8220793f83dabe0f2ddf6f47159a750e","filename":"patches_1999-2008_combined.md","adapter":"markdown","source_offset":232532,"item_index":null,"heading":"November 7, 2001","source_url":null,"source_url_raw":null,"published":null,"source_kind":"markdown","excerpt":false,"year_inferred":false},{"occurrence_id":"530a0d7bda2174733a5642205375e8328a13533954d3f0adfe919fbab3ca0a43","filename":"patches_1999-2010_combined.txt","adapter":"text","source_offset":240914,"item_index":null,"heading":"November 7, 2001","source_url":null,"source_url_raw":null,"published":null,"source_kind":"text","excerpt":false,"year_inferred":false},{"occurrence_id":"4939ba045cb25033dda8d711c55a17a09559c9219f4c1ab0fc6e48f5b7ccb007","filename":"patches-2001-2.txt","adapter":"text","source_offset":32986,"item_index":null,"heading":"November 7, 2001","source_url":null,"source_url_raw":null,"published":null,"source_kind":"text","excerpt":false,"year_inferred":false}],"year_inferred":false,"sequence":1,"slug":"2001-11-07-1","id":"2001-11-07-1"},{"patch_date":"2001-10-31","effective_date":"2001-10-31","display_date":"October 31, 2001","title":"October 31, 2001","year":2001,"month":10,"kind":"live","era":"EverQuest Live","expansion":"The Scars of Velious","expansion_code":"the-scars-of-velious","categories":[{"slug":"servers","label":"Servers"}],"sections":[],"change_count":1,"word_count":18,"summary":"The scheduled patch is now complete.

Please visit there for more details (either at \nwww.everquest.com or http://boards.station.sony.com/ubb/everquest/cgi-\nbin/Ultimate.cgi). Here is a summary of the changes:\n\n- The level-based spell resistance bonus inherent in super-high level \nNPCs has been reduced significantly.\n\n- Several NPCs have had their resistances reduced. Each of them was \nexamined carefully, and resistances changed as seemed appropriate. For \nsome of these NPCs other things were changed as well to compensate for \ntheir increased susceptibility to spells, such as armor improvements or \nperhaps greater hit points, if needed for that NPC.\n\n- NPCs that were highly magic resistant in order to make them immune to \ncertain spells can now be given specific immunity to those spells. This \nmeans that they can be made immune to critical spells, as intended, and \nstill be generally less resistant to magic. Players will receive a \nmessage similar to the one that is already given for Mesmerization \nspells when they cast a spell on an NPC that it is specifically immune \nto.\n\nIMPORTANT NOTE: It is very important to note that we have not made any \nNPCs immune to spells that they were not already immune to. Many NPCs \nthat were previously immune to spells due to their high innate \nresistance to magic have had that resistance reduced and specific \nimmunities added. So if you see an immunity message after attempting to \ncast a spell on an NPC that you hadn't seen such a message from before, \nunderstand that the NPC was already immune to that spell before due to \nhigh resistances, and the only difference is that it now has lower \nresistances in general and specific spell immunity (which is why you \nare seeing the message).\n\n*** Melee Changes ***\n\nAfter extensive research, testing, and evaluation we have completed the \nmelee portion of our class balancing. To be clear, these changes apply \njust to the combat aspect of melee classes. Any issues with non-combat \nskills, spell effects, spell selection, or non-combat aspects of \nclasses will be evaluated in the near future. With the completion of \nthe melee combat balancing, we will be moving onto spells and spell \ncasting classes. \n\nDue to the extensive nature of these changes, we can't describe them in \ndetail here. A detailed summary will be available on our Developer's \nCorner message board. Please visit www.everquest.com and our forums for \nmore information.\n\n* Summary of Melee Changes *\n\n- Two-Handed Weapons have been given an increased damage bonus for \ncharacters over level 50. Also, certain post-epic quality two-handers \nhave been improved.\n\n- Warriors have had their taunt skill cap increased to 230 at 60th \nlevel. Also, the Blades of Strategy and Tactics can now be used in \neither hand.\n\n- Rogues, as the primary user of piercing weapons, will benefit from an \nimprovement in the quality of a few existing high-end daggers. At some \nfuture date new piercing weapons will be added to the game to fill gaps \nin equipment availability.\n\n- Monks will now be on an improved combat table at levels 55 and again \nto a better table at 60. Monks now have the ability to Triple Attack at \n60th level. The minimum damage done by Flying Kick will be greatly \nincreased for monks starting at 51st level and scaling up to level 60. \nWe also intend to add more monk weapons in the future to fill equipment \ngaps.\n\n- Rangers have their Double Attack skill cap raised to 245. They have \nalso gained an innate offensive bonus that starts at level 55 and \nincreases until level 60. Ranger's Defense skill cap has been raised to \n220, and their Riposte skill cap has been raised to 185.\n\n- Paladins and Shadowknights, besides the benefits they gain from the \ntwo-handed weapons change mentioned above, have also been moved to the \nsame combat tables as warriors. In the future we intend to examine the \nexisting one-handed weapons useable by knights for possible upgrades. \nWe are also increasing the Taunt skill cap for these two classes to \n220.\n\n- Bards have had their 1h blunt and 1h slash skill caps increased to \n250. Their piercing skill cap has been increased to 240. Their Offense \nskill cap has been raised to 252. Bards are also being moved to the \nsame combat table with all the other melee and hybrid classes (save \nmonks who have separate tables after level 55). Bards Parry skill cap \nhas been raised to 185 as well. Finally, the Singing Shortsword can now \nbe equipped in the off hand and still give full song enhancing \nbenefits.\n\nPlease read the detailed explanation of these changes on our \nDeveloper's Corner message boards at \nhttp://boards.station.sony.com/ubb/everquest/cgi-bin/Ultimate.cgi\n\n*** Firiona Vie (Roleplaying Preferred) server goes Live ***\n\nOur newest special rules server is now available. Firiona Vie is \ndesignated as roleplaying preferred. There are many special rules for \nthis server, please read over them carefully before playing. We will be \nkeeping an updated list of these rules on our web site at \nhttp://everquest.station.sony.com/guidebook/firionavie.jsp .\n\n** Firiona Vie Server Feature List **\n\n- This is a new server, not a split server. Nor will there be any \ntransfers to this server.\n- Characters will be wiped before the server goes Live.\n- This is a PvE (Player vs. Environment) server, NOT a PvP (Player vs. \nPlayer) server. In other words, it's a standard 'blue' server with the \nsame rules and features regarding PvP as the vast majority of our \nservers. It is not one of the 'Zeks'. \n- Auction restricted to city zones: Qeynos, Surefall Glade, Highkeep, \nFreeport, Rivervale, Erudin, Halas, Neriak, Grobb, Oggok, Greater \nFaydark, Ak'Anon, Kaladim, Felwithe, Paineel, Cabilis, Kael and \nThurgadin. \n- Beneficial buff spells will not work on characters 20 levels lower than the caster. \n- Each character will be assigned an \"alignment\" upon creation. This \nalignment will be described in brief on the character creation screen \n(in the same location that their Deity is described).\n- Each character will be able to change their alignment once any time \nafter they reach 10th level if they choose. A character is not required \nto change alignments, but may do so any time after attaining 10th \nlevel. The player will be able to chose from a list of alignments based \non their race, class and deity. \n- A character's alignment will determine whether or not they can group \nwith other characters.\n- A character's alignment will determine an experience bonus or penalty \nwhen grouping with other characters. \n- A character's alignment will determine if they can cast beneficial \nspells on other characters (including resurrections). \n- Language skills will improve only through group chat in the same zone \nand from /say. \n- Languages will only improve 1 point each hour and will be capped at \nlevel*5+5 skill points. \n- Common will not exist. A Human language will be added and only made \neasily available to certain races. \n- One character per account. \n- The Trivial Loot Code will be in effect in all zones. \n- Very few items will be No-Drop. Exceptions will include things such \nas newbie notes and epic weapons.\n- Bind Affinity will be restricted for all characters to locations \nwhere melee characters can bind on other servers. \n- /emote will be language specific \n- All characters will be /roleplay. \n- /alignment will display the alignment of your character and probably \na more detailed description of that alignment. \n\n** Trivial Loot Code **\n\nBriefly, the Trivial Loot Code works like this: If a character kills an \nNPC and that NPC does not give them experience, then the Trivial Loot \nCode takes effect. If any member of a group does not get experience for \na kill, the Trivial Loot Code will take effect. The Trivial Loot Code \nprevents magical, lore and no-drop items from appearing on the corpse. \nNormal items and coins will appear on the corpse in all cases as usual.\n\nFor detailed information about the alignment system on the Firiona Vie \nserver, please visit our web site: \nhttp://everquest.station.sony.com/guidebook/firionavie.jsp\n\n** NOTE **\n\nBoisterous shouts can be heard across the lands as carriers herald the \narrival of the latest volume of their city's newspapers. Citizens rush \nto get a copy of these publications to read the featured articles, \nlatest gossip, and community news for their hometowns.\n\n** A Tale from Norrath **\n\nAdventurers, glory seekers, and plunder-hungry knaves,\n\nA few new tavern tales have been circulating from across the Deep. It \nappears that strife and civil unrest have once again plagued the lands \nof Kunark. Stories of treachery and terror within the ranks of the \nSarnak have spilled forth from the mountain fortress of Chardok.\n\nOnly a few of the most cunning spies have made their way into the \nSarnak hive during this brief time of turmoil, and their reports may \nhave serious implications. The Brood of Di`zok seems to be more \norganized than before. Their leadership is becoming more structured... \nand much more brutal. Production in the mines appears to be increasing \nand soldiers have been amassing in great numbers.\n\nOther tales have come from this mountain fortress as well. Terror \nsquads and interrogators have decimated the ranks of reported Sarnak \ntraitors. These squads have been working under the leadership of one of \nthe Sarnak Collective's newest council members, Korucust. It can only \nbe presumed that this cleansing is another step towards strengthening \nthe foul brood.\n\nThese tales are hard to confirm, since many of your adventurous kind \nare prone to drink and to the occasional mistruth. If these tales are \ntrue, it would only stand to reason that new dangers may reveal new \nwealth and glory. Perhaps it is time for you to gather your best gear, \nfinish your mug of ale, and head out to investigate.\n\nGood luck adventurers.\n\n\n- The EverQuest Team","content_hash":"ca02c5ae0d4a156ef2827154ed9037603838d5f6c3f79c8db0790dad8179e1cd","source_files":["patches-2001-2.txt","patches_1999-2008_combined.md","patches_1999-2010_combined.txt"],"source_titles":["October 8, 2001"],"source_url":null,"source_urls":[],"occurrence_count":3,"source_occurrences":[{"occurrence_id":"5150c12109f5fc721ea8b02bc1151ed7a2d7a285dea6ed4557d4111811b3ba2e","filename":"patches_1999-2008_combined.md","adapter":"markdown","source_offset":221653,"item_index":null,"heading":"October 8, 2001","source_url":null,"source_url_raw":null,"published":null,"source_kind":"markdown","excerpt":false,"year_inferred":false},{"occurrence_id":"d099698d2914f6f0fec855aac63b35527a610ca8a6b9af59ffb7cac6a96b5c70","filename":"patches_1999-2010_combined.txt","adapter":"text","source_offset":229842,"item_index":null,"heading":"October 8, 2001","source_url":null,"source_url_raw":null,"published":null,"source_kind":"text","excerpt":false,"year_inferred":false},{"occurrence_id":"a571c66932196eadd94b289bd15bf5977053782a2e0443febfb05429fe8e7c2d","filename":"patches-2001-2.txt","adapter":"text","source_offset":21914,"item_index":null,"heading":"October 8, 2001","source_url":null,"source_url_raw":null,"published":null,"source_kind":"text","excerpt":false,"year_inferred":false}],"year_inferred":false,"sequence":1,"slug":"2001-10-08-1","id":"2001-10-08-1"},{"patch_date":"2001-09-30","effective_date":"2001-09-30","display_date":"September 30, 2001","title":"September 30, 2001","year":2001,"month":9,"kind":"live","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":"ui","label":"UI"},{"slug":"pvp","label":"PvP"},{"slug":"servers","label":"Servers"}],"sections":["Firiona Vie server is available on Test now","Firiona Vie Server","Firiona Vie Server Feature List","Trivial Loot Code"],"change_count":2,"word_count":680,"summary":"Firiona Vie server is available on Test now: Or it will be very shortly...

The Trivial Loot Code \nprevents magical, lore and no-drop items from appearing on the corpse. \nNormal items and coins will appear on the corpse in all cases as usual.","content_hash":"0676237df3896435707086385ef7ab5af5f95fbe38435d49d4f7c338b8fee32e","source_files":["patches-2001-2.txt","patches_1999-2008_combined.md","patches_1999-2010_combined.txt"],"source_titles":["September 30, 2001"],"source_url":null,"source_urls":[],"occurrence_count":3,"source_occurrences":[{"occurrence_id":"63be408ea5537310442fef579503cbd7947af37f0b366027530f4d7b729cca6b","filename":"patches_1999-2008_combined.md","adapter":"markdown","source_offset":214712,"item_index":null,"heading":"September 30, 2001","source_url":null,"source_url_raw":null,"published":null,"source_kind":"markdown","excerpt":false,"year_inferred":false},{"occurrence_id":"7d49fc133538b426d77c2b9126b5c961f241903b74f757eecc6bda8a0b89df65","filename":"patches_1999-2010_combined.txt","adapter":"text","source_offset":222705,"item_index":null,"heading":"September 30, 2001","source_url":null,"source_url_raw":null,"published":null,"source_kind":"text","excerpt":false,"year_inferred":false},{"occurrence_id":"1607eeb76356e94da89f5bab8ed861225032ecfdbdb01eaf1b96137fad0cf2e1","filename":"patches-2001-2.txt","adapter":"text","source_offset":14777,"item_index":null,"heading":"September 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":"2001-09-30-1","id":"2001-09-30-1"},{"patch_date":"2001-09-11","effective_date":"2001-09-11","display_date":"September 11, 2001 3:00 am","title":"September 11, 2001 3:00 am","year":2001,"month":9,"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":"servers","label":"Servers"}],"sections":["Spell Changes","Miscellaneous Updates","Norrathian News","Announcing Test of Tactics III"],"change_count":11,"word_count":436,"summary":"Spell Changes ** Changed all enchanter mesmerization spells so that they overwrite Screaming Terror Changed Shaman epic effect (Curse of the Spirits) so that it would not conflict with certain Damage over Time spells.

A dead \nhalfling was stuck in the drainpipe and has been removed.\n\n- Fixed a long-standing bug that was causing Feign Death to fail when \nseveral characters were on the NPC's hate list along with the character \nusing Feign Death. We'd like to extend much thanks to the monk \ncommunity who helped us track this one down.

It's a rather simple change, one that makes a lot of \nsense. But we want you to be aware of it so that it won't surprise you \ntoo much, and so that you won't think that it is a bug. NPCs are now \nmuch more aware of the vulnerability (or, more precisely, the \ninvulnerability) of their targets. NPCs will now be very unlikely to \nwaste their time attacking a target that they can't harm.\n\n- Spell and Item Interruption: Ducking will now interrupt a spell \ninstantly. You will no longer be able to sit while using items or \ncasting spells. This will not affect bard songs, which will still work \nas they always have, but will affect all items, even those with song-\nlike effects.\n\n** Spell Changes **\n\n- Skin Like Nature and Natureskin should stack with more spells now \n(though not with each other).\n\n- Aegolism can now be clicked off.\n\n- Imbue Ivory has had its casting level lowered to 29.\n\n- Shard of the Core will be tradable now.\n\n- Shroud of Hate and Visions of Grandeur should stack properly now.\n\n- Several new Translocation spells have been added.\n\n- Call of the Hero will no longer remove the target from NPCs' \nhatelists if the target is not summoned far enough.\n\n- Egress will now work indoors.\n\n- Wind of the North, Wind of the South, Markar's Relocation and \nTishan's Relocation have had their additional restrictions removed, and \ncan now be cast from any zone where other similar spells can be cast.\n\n- Summon Companion can now be used by Necromancers, Shamans, \nEnchanters, Shadowknights in addition to Magicians.\n\n- Deadeye should now stack with Dead Man Floating, but should not stack \nwith Acumen.\n\n- Plainsight will now stack with Dead Man Floating, but not with \nAcumen.\n\n- The Great Divide portal spells are now 39th level instead of 44th \nlevel.\n\n- Spirit of the Oak will no longer be overwritten by any beneficial \nspells.\n\n- Paralyzing Poison spells should no longer be broken by direct damage \nspells.\n\n- Hsagra's Wrath and Porlos' Fury now have a 5 second recast delay.\n\n** Item Changes **\n\n- The effect on the 10th ring should have fewer stacking conflicts with \nhaste buffs. \n\n- The effect of the Monk epic, Celestial Tranquility, will stack with \nthe higher end haste spells. Keep in mind - the highest haste will \nalways win out. This means that the spells will stack, the haste \ncomponents will not.\n\n- Speed of the Shissar has had its duration increased from 20 minutes \nto 30 minutes. This effect should no longer conflict with Call of \nEarth.\n\n- Bone Ring of Condemnation will no longer be usable in the secondary \nslot, it will only be wearable on the finger.\n\n- Druid Skyshrine Quest armor has had a color change so that it will \nlook more unique.\n\n- Circlet of Shadow will no longer drop in-game. The Circlet of \nShadows, can now be found in its place. This item differs from the \noriginal only in that it has a five-second casting time. Existing \nCirclets of Shadow will retain the same functionality as before, though \nwe may change existing Circlets at some future date.\n\n** Quest Changes **\n\n- King Tormax is now a little more particular about who he gives quests \nto.\n\n- The Iksar Shaman 6th Skull/cudgel quest should be working now. \n\n- Rumor has it that there is a new source for green dragon scales in \nNorrath.\n\n** PvP Changes **\n\n- If you go link dead on a PvP server and are killed you can still be \nlooted.\n\n- When a player becomes invisible (or hides successfully) every other \nplayer that had them targeted will lose their target. This is true for \nall servers, but has the greatest implications on PvP servers. The use \nof spells that allow you to see through invisibility will prevent you \nfrom losing your target if that target hides or goes invisible.\n\n- Faction hits on Rallos Zek: Killing a person in one of his or her \nhome cities will cause a faction hit with residents of that city.\n\n** Miscellaneous **\n\n- We've addressed a lot of spelling and grammatical errors over the \npast few weeks. For example we have corrected all misspellings of \n\"deity\" in messages to the player, changed Cantana to Cantata and \nothers.\n\n- The 'Fab Four' in Dagnor's Cauldron will no longer assist Undertow \nSkeletons.\n\n- Instill Doubt/Intimidation can no longer be used while sitting, and \nsitting after starting it will cancel it.\n\n- Mastery of language skills now occurs at 100, not at 101. This was a \nproblem for masters of a language, since language skills could not go \nover 100.\n\n- The messages for eating and drinking now say \"Chomp... Chomp,\" or \n\"Glug... Glug...\" so that they can't be copied with emotes.\n\n- Helms on Barbarians, Trolls, and Ogres should no longer block the \nfirst person view when in combat. \n\n- Sirens Grotto has been changed a bit. It should be a more interesting \nzone now.\n\n** NOTE **\n\nBoisterous shouts can be heard across the lands as carriers herald the \narrival of the latest volume of their city's newspapers.

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 4:30 pm","title":"May 8, 2001 4:30 pm","year":2001,"month":5,"kind":"live","era":"EverQuest Live","expansion":"The Scars of Velious","expansion_code":"the-scars-of-velious","categories":[{"slug":"quests-events","label":"Quests & Events"},{"slug":"servers","label":"Servers"}],"sections":["Fan Faire","Guild Wipe for Guilds without enough members"],"change_count":1,"word_count":190,"summary":"Fan Faire ** The Fan Faire in Minneapolis is half way sold out.

The character will…","content":"** PvP changes **\n\nWe have made the first of our upcoming changes to the PvP aspects of \nEverQuest:\n\n- Consider: /Consider will only have three results when used to \nconsider 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":"2001-04-17","effective_date":"2001-04-17","display_date":"April 17, 2001 3:00 am","title":"April 17, 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":"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":["Food Changes","Bug Fixes","Zone and Quest Changes","Improved and New Features","Item Changes","Trade Skill Changes","Spell Changes","Class Specific Changes"],"change_count":39,"word_count":2006,"summary":"Food Changes ** Food items now have a 'duration'.

This means that some food items \nwill not sustain a character as long as others, and some items will \nsustain your character longer than they did before.\n\n** Bug Fixes **\n\n- We THINK we've fixed the problem with the Dusty Werebat. 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.

Guild Officers and Leaders will be able to \ntype /guildmotd to set up a Guild Message of the Day (GMotD). From then \non any time a member of that guild logs in they will see the message \nwith the name of the message sender added at the front, so you will \nknow who sent the message. Any guild member will also be able to read \nthe GMotD by typing just /guildmotd and the message will be displayed \nagain. The GMotD will be erased if the server comes down, however. 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. This fix will most \nlikely also aid some folks that are not using Windows 2000 that are \nhaving problems.\n\n** Item Changes **\n\n- Velious racial plate helm quests have been added that will allow you \nto 'trade in' your existing helms for ones with textures. 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":"2001-03-27","effective_date":"2001-03-27","display_date":"March 27, 2001 2:00 am","title":"March 27, 2001 2:00 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":"quests-events","label":"Quests & Events"},{"slug":"ui","label":"UI"},{"slug":"servers","label":"Servers"},{"slug":"expansions","label":"Expansions"}],"sections":["Fan Faire Reminder","Patch Day","Spell Changes and Additions","Item Changes","Bug Fixes","Enhancements","Quest"],"change_count":23,"word_count":880,"summary":"Fan Faire Reminder*** Registration for the San Diego Fan Faire closes on Wednesday, March 28th, and we are running out of spaces.

Once all the spaces are taken, \nwe will not be accepting any further registrations (or walk-ins). So if \nyou plan to attend sign up before someone else gets your spot. Head \nover to www.everquest.com to register.\n\n*** Patch Day ***\n\n*Spell Changes and Additions*\n\n- A new teleportation spell has been added to the game for both Druids \nand Wizards. These are self-only gate spells to the Dreadlands. These \nspells should be available on the more exclusive spell vendors in \nNorrath.\n\n- Increased the drop rate on some Kunark spells to coincide with the \nnarrowing of the creatures carrying those spells as the game evolves.\n\n- Wizards now have access to a new type of spell that only works on \ncertain types of target. Generically called 'bane' spells, a few are \nnow available in the game. May your quest for such spells be \nsuccessful.\n\n*Item Changes*\n\n- Changed the effects on the Singing Steel Boots and Greaves. After a \nfair amount of concern from players, we have removed the summon food \nand water effects from these items. They have been replaced with \nmodified versions of Aria of the Eagles (boots) and Appalling Screech \n(greaves).\n\n- The Incandescent Bracer can now be worn on the wrist rather than the \nwaist.\n\n- The Incarnadine Breastplate must now be worn to activate.\n\n- Changed spell effects on Pauldrons of the Fearsome and Fearsome \nShield to right click and worn to activate.\n\n*Bug Fixes*\n\n- Fixed a bug that was causing some players to zone into the Warrens at \nthe wrong location.\n\n- Corrected an error with the Bixie Sword Blade, changing its delay \nfrom 6 to 16.\n\n- Fixed a bug where Iskar Monks were unable to Feign Death after \nForaging.\n\n- Kodiaks in the Great Divide are now seen as animals.\n\n- Toxdil, the wandering rogue poison vendor, will now sell to \ncharacters even when he is away from his home.\n\n*Enhancements*\n\n- Fixed a problem that occurred when players mistyped /guild. Typing \n/guildd in the chat window is the shortcut for typing /guilddelete. \n/guildd now has a confirmation box so that such an error should no \nlonger lead to the accidental deletion of a guild. \n\n- Added /showspelleffects. Using this toggle ('on' or 'off') a player \ncan turn on or off the display of particle effects for spells. This \nwill only affect spells, not world effects like waterfalls or weapon \nparticle effects. This should allow you to turn off many of the effects \nthat hamper rendering performance, inducing effects of spells, while \nstill being able to see some of the awesome effects, like those on \ncertain paladin weapons...\n\n- Added server-side filtering for chat and combat messages. This will \nallow you to turn off guild chat, shouts, auctions, oocs, 'my misses', \n'others misses', 'others hits', 'attacker misses me', PC spells (all \noptions), NPC spells and Bard songs (all options) at the server instead \nof at the client. This can reduce that amount of data sent to you over \nyour connection, and can help those with slower connections with better \nperformance and connectivity.\n\n- Ships will now be announcing their arrival in most zones. They will \nalso be announcing their progress to any zone they travel through. Any \nof those zones that they are not currently making announcements in will \nbe added in the next patch or two.\n\n- Shift - Left and Shift - Right will now repeat in the chat window. \nThis means that when editing what you've typed, you can just hold down \nthe Shift and Left Arrow keys and the cursor will move left until it \nreaches the beginning of the line or until you release the keys.\n\n- The spell slot number will now show up in front of the spell name \nwhen you press Alt to cast a spell using the Alt-Spell Number method.\n\n- View perspective in wolf form has been fixed. First-person view will \nnow be on level with the wolf, rather than a few feet above it. At the \nsame time, perceiving other players in wolf form will appear to be \nstanding on the ground instead of floating a few feet above it.\n\n- Trade skill success and failure messages will be sent to the \ncraftsperson's group instead of just the craftsperson, as long as the \ncraftsperson is using the proper ingredients. Failure of the craftsman \nto use the proper ingredients will result in no failure message being \nsent.\n\n- In order to prevent a few trade scams, money can no longer be removed \nfrom a trade window. You will have to cancel the trade and start over \nto adjust the amount of money involved in the trade.\n\n- We're now sending hitpoint updates to the casters of direct damage \nspells no matter how far away they are when the spell lands. This will \nallow those casters that try to stand as far back as possible to get \nupdates even when their range indicates that the messages should be \nsurpressed.\n\n*Quest*\n\nSeveral new quests have been added as well, so don't be afraid to talk \nto the folks of Norrath, they might have new information for you.\n\n- The EverQuest Team","content_hash":"9aed02e93ea0efebaa89e9138e6c8875284b1ff22b807c7287ea348d20ac66af","source_files":["patches-2001-1.txt","patches_1999-2008_combined.md","patches_1999-2010_combined.txt"],"source_titles":["March 27, 2001 2:00 am"],"source_url":null,"source_urls":[],"occurrence_count":3,"source_occurrences":[{"occurrence_id":"478d59ba2a27abc04309344e89246ffe44c5159d7af6bec208dc6bcfe6320c54","filename":"patches_1999-2008_combined.md","adapter":"markdown","source_offset":155004,"item_index":null,"heading":"March 27, 2001 2:00 am","source_url":null,"source_url_raw":null,"published":null,"source_kind":"markdown","excerpt":false,"year_inferred":false},{"occurrence_id":"ea0821cc7f0e9614b344ffb457b6bee145e7d0e4d3d78e49b7175b4527f49c62","filename":"patches_1999-2010_combined.txt","adapter":"text","source_offset":160805,"item_index":null,"heading":"March 27, 2001 2:00 am","source_url":null,"source_url_raw":null,"published":null,"source_kind":"text","excerpt":false,"year_inferred":false},{"occurrence_id":"3a0fc49a26e8647f340ef322a746584b469e0cecd88496e3936c49a28c457cf2","filename":"patches-2001-1.txt","adapter":"text","source_offset":36055,"item_index":null,"heading":"March 27, 2001 2:00 am","source_url":null,"source_url_raw":null,"published":null,"source_kind":"text","excerpt":false,"year_inferred":false}],"year_inferred":false,"sequence":1,"slug":"2001-03-27-1","id":"2001-03-27-1"},{"patch_date":"2001-03-14","effective_date":"2001-03-14","display_date":"March 14, 2001 3:00 am","title":"March 14, 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":"quests-events","label":"Quests & Events"},{"slug":"servers","label":"Servers"},{"slug":"expansions","label":"Expansions"}],"sections":["EverQuest Turns Two","Ever Changing, Evolving, Expanding","The Warrens","The Planes","Epic Quests","Patch Day","A Message From Customer Service"],"change_count":13,"word_count":1129,"summary":"EverQuest Turns Two*** Two years ago this Friday, EverQuest was launched, forever changing the course of online gaming.

Today EverQuest boasts nearly 360,000 active \nsubscribers, and a two-year retention rate of 65%. Peak usage tops \n89,000 simultaneous users with average peak usage at roughly 87,000. \nThe EverQuest community continues to grow daily. \n\nWe've put up a page on the EverQuest website to help celebrate \nEverQuest's achievement and to thank our loyal fans. Over the next \ncouple of days we will be posting interesting content from EverQuest's \nhumble beginnings, as well as a few surprises. Check it out! \nhttp://everquest.station.sony.com/2ndanniversary/index.jsp\n\n*Ever Changing, Evolving, Expanding*\n\nThe Warrens:\n\nAs part of our two-year celebration, we're pleased to announce the \nrelease of \"The Warrens\", a free expansion zone located on Odus. \"The \nWarrens\" is a low-to-mid level dungeon and the home of the Kobolds on \nOdus. You can patch the Warrens by running the \"Optional Patch\". \n\nIn addition to filling-out the continent of Odus, \"the Warrens\" will \nalso serve as a platform to try out some of the new ideas brought forth \nby members of the team and the public aimed at addressing some common \ngameplay issues. We would like to see what options might be open to and \nenjoyed by the players in the future.\n\nThe first issue addressed in the Warrens is the problem of higher level \ncharacters competing with lower level characters for loot on lower \nlevel creatures. To address this issue, in the Warrens, a group that \n\"outclasses\" a particular foe will not receive any loot that is MAGIC, \nLORE, or NODROP. All other loot will drop. \"Outclassing\" a foe is \ndefined as having a group makeup such that no one in your group \nreceives experience from the kill. This can happen if, for instance, \nthe foe is \"green\" to all group members, or if the group makeup is of \nsuch a wide level range that the system determines the fight was \nunbalanced using regular experience rules.\n\nAny time that an NPC would have dropped special loot and does not due \nto it being outclassed, a message indicating that the combat was \n\"trivial\" will be displayed to the group. \n\nAs time goes on, we will be implementing new gameplay subsets and \nadjustements in the Warrens. Please be sure to let us know what you \nthink!\n\nThe Planes:\n\nThe Planes of Fear and Hate have been updated as part of our two-year \ncelebration. Adventurers in the Plane of Fear will notice that some \nhigh-level foes are now available. Rewards for former \"boss npcs\" have \nbeen moved down to underlings that are roughly as powerful as the old \nbosses were.\n\nThe Plane of Hate has also received a large update, but this one also \nincludes the opening of a previously undiscovered part of the zone, now \nfull high-level expansion-oriented content. Much as with Fear, rewards \nfrom bosses have been moved. \n\nEpic Quests:\n\nAs part of the Plane updates, we've made several adjustments to Epic \nquests for a number of classes. Previously, questers of many classes \nwere put in direct competition with regular non-questing adventurers \nfor a few coveted spawns. In these cases, a new step has been added to \nseparate the \"Epic Encounter\" NPCs from the \"Epic Quest\" NPCs. \n\nFor those who are mid-quest, all quest requirements have remained the \nsame. In other words, if you turn the same items into the same NPC, the \nsame reward applies. What has changed is that some components may be in \na different location from where you expect them. It is recommended that \nyou check with the last NPC in line or other adventurers to find where \nyou need to go next.\n\n***Patch Day***\n\nAlong with the big announcements above, today was a patch day as well:\n\n- Fixed a bug that allowed exploitation of the period of time between \ncharacter control being established and loading of character faction \ntables.\n- Fixed the Dagger of Frost. Its special item flags were improperly \nremoved in the last patch.\n- The spell, Mark of Karn, has been enhanced to heal more per hit.\n- The effect on the Celestial Elixir Breastplates has been changed to \nthe enhanced Mark of Karn. The casting time on these items has also \nbeen changed to 9 seconds.\n- NPCs in Thurgadin will no longer stop traveling when you /hail them.\n- Fixed a problem present in Nagafen's Lair and the Plane of Hate that \ncaused framerate to drop over time.\n- Shift-clicking on a stack of items will cause you to pick up the \nwhole stack. This is in addition to CTRL-clicking on a stack, which \nwill cause you to pick up one. These both also work for coins now as \nwell as items.\n- In addition to the above, holding down the shift key while clicking \nthe \"Sell\" button in the vendor screen will cause you to sell the \nentire stack of items if a stack is selected. For example, you can sell \n20 peridots by selecting the stack, and shift-clicking \"Sell\". I'd \nrecommend though that you give them to your neighborhood cleric first \nthough :) The ability to buy stacks is on the list for implementation \nin the near future.\n- There are a ton of new recipies for trade skill users out there. \nCheck your books. \n- There are a bunch of new quests as well.\n- It appears that we fixed a bug with the Mend skill that caused it to \nbe unavailable for a few seconds after it was supposed to be ready for \nuse. Let us know if there are any further problems.\n- Foraging items will now yield a message giving you some idea of what you've foraged.\n\nPlease remember that the /movelog for the Rathe and E'ci is scheduled \nfor this weekend. Please read the message below for details on the \n/movelog.\n\n*A Message From Customer Service*\n\nWe regularly receive requests from customers that want their characters \nmoved from one server to another, or from one account to another. \nUnfortunately, due to the EverQuest EULA, the number of requests that \nwe receive, the desire to maintain stable server communities and \neconomies, and other problems associated with character moves, we can \nnot move characters across servers or accounts. \n\nIt is important for the integrity of the server that items from a \nserver remain on that server. We also feel that it is important that \ncharacters that have built up a reputation, good or bad, have to live \nwith the consequences of their decisions, and are not allowed to \nretreat from that reputation by changing servers.\n\nThe only exception to this rule is when we open a Movelog for moving a \nlarge number of characters to new servers. At no other time will we \nmove a character in such a fashion.\n\n- The EverQuest Team","content_hash":"947603b7e3c7d1204191651d04e5fee9b04afdc2400913150b588da325440fe3","source_files":["patches-2001-1.txt","patches_1999-2008_combined.md","patches_1999-2010_combined.txt"],"source_titles":["March 14, 2001 3:00 am"],"source_url":null,"source_urls":[],"occurrence_count":3,"source_occurrences":[{"occurrence_id":"2f85018cf293b4e6d98893d371d653ac48e06307da5ea25972599f2c3ece0d11","filename":"patches_1999-2008_combined.md","adapter":"markdown","source_offset":148376,"item_index":null,"heading":"March 14, 2001 3:00 am","source_url":null,"source_url_raw":null,"published":null,"source_kind":"markdown","excerpt":false,"year_inferred":false},{"occurrence_id":"72232f7a06d4912e653ce311b6687e39fc93406d2f06d241870d8f7e3fbac0c7","filename":"patches_1999-2010_combined.txt","adapter":"text","source_offset":154081,"item_index":null,"heading":"March 14, 2001 3:00 am","source_url":null,"source_url_raw":null,"published":null,"source_kind":"text","excerpt":false,"year_inferred":false},{"occurrence_id":"5e757bdbf98698d11bf807b89b78ee44ef2a65b4019df55105f66e2efa44d502","filename":"patches-2001-1.txt","adapter":"text","source_offset":29331,"item_index":null,"heading":"March 14, 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":"2001-03-14-1","id":"2001-03-14-1"},{"patch_date":"2001-03-09","effective_date":"2001-03-09","display_date":"March 9, 2001 12:00 am","title":"March 9, 2001 12:00 am","year":2001,"month":3,"kind":"live","era":"EverQuest Live","expansion":"The Scars of Velious","expansion_code":"the-scars-of-velious","categories":[{"slug":"items","label":"Items"},{"slug":"ui","label":"UI"},{"slug":"servers","label":"Servers"}],"sections":["E'ci and The Rathe Movelog"],"change_count":1,"word_count":486,"summary":"E'ci and The Rathe Movelog* We will be opening a new server and moving characters from the E'ci and The Rathe servers to this new server upon the request of the customer.

Due \nto the number of changes being made, this list is primarily a summary. \nExtended descriptions of the changes and the reasoning behind them can \nbe solicited on the EverQuest Message Boards.\n\n*Spell and Skill Changes*\n\nDruids, Shaman, and Clerics:\n--- Superior Healing moved to level 51 for shamans and druids. \n--- Casting difficulty of Superior Heal reduced (less fizzles)\n--- New level 55 Druid and shaman spell, Chloroblast, similar to remedy \nfor clerics.\n--- New Druid spell at level 60, upgrade to superior healing, Natures \nTouch.\n--- Created a new spell effect for Celestial Healing, Celestial Elixir, \nand Torpor. This will allow them to stack with all other spells, save \nspells of the same type (Heal over time). Prior to this, all heal-over-\ntime spells followed the same rules as regeneration spells.\n--- Reduced the casting difficulty of Remedy.\n--- Lowered recast time on Wake of Karana\n\nPaladins:\n--- Added Endure Magic spell at level 30\n--- Added Resist Magic at 55\n--- Moved Guard spell from 49 to 39\n--- Moved Armor of Faith from 53 to 49\n--- Added New level 53 paladin spell: Divine Glory\n--- Added New level 59 spell: Celestial Cleansing \n--- Defense skill cap made exactly same as warriors\n--- Added Yaulp 4 at 60 and enhanced.\n\nShadowknights:\n--- Removed artificially inflated mana cost for pre level 50 lifetap \nspells. Please note that post-50 lifetap spells never had an inflated \nmana cost.\n--- Moved Spirit Tap to level 55\n--- Moved Drain Spirit to level 57\n--- Added Drain Soul at level 60\n--- Grim Aura added at level 22 and enhanced\n--- Moved Shieldskin to level 34\n--- Pet buff added at 29\n--- Added Diamondskin spell at 59\n--- Defense skill cap made exactly same as warriors\n--- Due to the recent improvements to \"Harmtouch\", it is doing much \nmore damage than it would before and unbalances PvP. As such it will \nnow do less damage in PvP (68% of PvE, down from 80%). In addition, \nShadowknights on the PvP servers were routinely killing themselves via \nnon-XP losing means and attacking other players with Harmtouch \nimmediately upon respawn. In order to address this situation, Harmtouch \nis no longer automatically \"recharged\" by death on the PvP Servers.\n--- The \"Lifeleech\" discipline now increases hit probability in \naddition to its other effects.\n\n\nRangers:\n--- Added Endure Cold at 22\n--- Added Skin Like Nature at 59\n--- Added FireFist at 22\n--- Moved Bramblecoat from 49 to 39\n--- Added Spikecoat at 49\n--- Added resist cold at 55\n--- Added Panic Animal at 22\n--- Moved Jolt to 51\n--- Moved Spirt of Wolf from 39 to 30\n--- Added Cinder Jolt (fire-based Jolt spell) at 55.\n--- Offense and weapons skill made identical to warriors\n--- Added See Invisible at 39\n\nBards:\n--- Added new level 20 Bard Song: Cassindra`s Chant of Clarity\n--- Bards defensive skill made exactly the same as a warriors\n--- Changed it so that the bard spell Denon's Desperate Dirge to \nincrease damge by 10pts per level over 45. Also made it so the spell \ndoes 20% more damage using the Puretone discipline.\n\nMagicians:\n--- Added new level 59 spell: Valiant Companion\n--- Added new level 39 spell: Summon Companion\n--- Rain spells no longer count pets against total number of entities \nthey can damage (all rain spells)\n--- Added level 29 spell for Mages: Expedience\n\nEnchanters: \n--- Lowered recast time on Visions of Grandeur\n\n*Bug Fixes*\n\n--- Aggressive and Defensive disciplines have been fixed. Before they \nwould only affect damage taken and not affect damage dealt out. Now \nthey affect both as designed.\n--- Fixed the bug with going to the spellbook when the inventory window \nwas up in fullview mode. It should work now. Also, fixed a minor bug \nwhere if you were in normal mode and tried to go to the spellbook from \ninventory via /book or the keymapped key it would not go, and it would \nmake the done button not work properly for the inventory mode.\n--- Fixed NPC melee ranges to be the same as for player characters. In \nother words, if you can hit the NPC, he can hit you. This bug was a \nproblem with one dragon that could be hit, but could not hit back.\n--- Fixed a bug that made it impossible to \"Call of the Hero\" someone \nout of water or lava.\n--- Fixed the proc on the Chilled Scythe. Owners of this item will need \nto swap it out with a GM.\n--- The Kromzek Surveyor Scope now fits in the \"Ranged\" slot rather \nthan the \"Ammo\" slot as before.\n--- Fixed a bug that caused the two single-target bard snare songs to \nbreak too soon in some cases.\n--- Fixed a bug whereby NPCs would consider the race of a player prior \nto the loading of the faction table upon zoning or logging in. This \nwould cause people to be attacked by things that normally like them. \n--- Players should now be properly removed from the group regardless of \nhow they exit the game.\n\n*Misc Changes*\n\n--- Added text labels to the fullview inventory window \"body\" slots \n(Available only to Velious Subscribers)\n--- Added the ability to toggle those labels on and off. Use \n/invwinlabels [on/off] (or no arguments to toggle). This is saved in \nthe eqclient.ini file in the [Defaults] section with the key \nInvWinLabels=[TRUE/FALSE]\n--- Increased the pre-50 bind-wounds cap for rogues and warriors.\n--- Pickpocket now works to a max of 5 levels below you, or level \n45...whichever is greater... You can pickpocket NPC up to level 55 if \nyou are level 60. \n--- The mouse pointer will now move at a multiple of its normal speed \nwhen you adjust the MousePointerSpeedMod setting in the eqclient.ini \nfile. You can set that multiple on-the-fly with the /mousespeed \ncommand.\n--- The \"AutoHelp\" feature that can be set under the options menu has \nbeen enhanced. Spell casters in particular might want to turn it on and \ntry depressing the ALT key. It's perfect for refreshing your memory in \nregards to your spell lineup.\n--- If you are interrupted while trying to cast a spell that uses a \ncomponent, you will no longer use that component. Jewelers should be \nvery pleased with this change.\n--- Reduced the casting difficulty (fizzle rate) of all spells over \nlevel 56. Spells have always previously been set up so that it's \nusually more efficient to use a spell from a previous circle than the \ncurrent one. The formula did not take into account the fact that \neveryone stops at 60.\n--- Changed it so that players will now lose experience when they die \nin the Arena in Kael Drakkel. It seems that people were fighting giants \nin that arena in order to avoid the death penalty.\n--- Naked PC corpses that have experience and are above level 30 will \nnow last 3 hours instead of 3 minutes.\n--- Avatar and Focus of Spirit should now stack\n--- Raised the pre and post 50 bind wounds cap for paladins, clerics, \ndruids, and shaman.\n\n*Item Changes*\n\n--- The effect on the \"Frost Giant Beard\" can now be used at 35th level \nrather than level 50.\n--- The Wurmslayer will now fit in a bag. \n--- Iksar can now use the Ashenbone Shield\n--- Chandged Crystallized Shadow leggings to rentable\n--- Changed Gorilla Hide Leggings to show up as leather, was cloth \nbefore\n--- Changed Envy from a piercing weapon to a shield so players could \nBash with it. Envy is a parrying dagger.\n--- The Shralok Pack is now LORE. It was set to pending-lore some time \nago.\n--- The Guardian and Sentry Armor bracers are no longer LORE.\n--- Donal's Breastplate can now only be used on any individual target \nonce every 7.5 minutes. This addresses some of the balance issues that \nbecame apparent given the existence of a mana-free complete heal.\n\n*Trades and Crafts*\n\n--- Fixed the Gator Roll baking recipe.\n--- Repaired the notetext instructions for creating a Mixing Bowl with \npottery. \n--- Repaired Holgresh Fur Cap and Holgresh Fur Moccasins tailoring \nrecipes.\n--- Made it so that the file is returned in addition to the hammer when \na character fails to forge any of the various chain jointings.\n--- Repaired Recipe for Enchanted Tier`Dal Adamantite Bracelet\n--- Made it so that the Dwarven Smithy Hammer is returned on a failure \nto forge Brellium Chain Jointing.\n--- Repaired Field Plate Boots smithing recipe\n--- Changed the name of the smithed Enchanted Cabilis Scale armor to \nImbued Cabilis Scale armor for naming convention reasons.\n--- Repaired the recipe for converting 3 Enchanted Large Adamantite \nBricks into 1 Enchanted Block of Adamantite in the Tier`Dal Forge, it \nwas previously only possible in the Oggok Forge.\n--- Made it so that the Bread Tin is returned upon a failure to bake \nbread.\n--- Mithril and Velium Bonings will be stackable.\n--- Mithril Studs will be stackable.\n\n*NPC AI - Hate*\n\nWe've made a number of changes to NPC AI, specifically to the section \ndealing with target-selection, or what's commonly referred to as \n\"Hate\". It is not so much that NPCs react differently to hate now than \nbefore, but that we've changed the way that hate is awarded. \n\n--- We reduced the amount of hate that can be caused by a proc. Due to \nthe high proc rates at upper levels, the amount of hate generated from \nprocs, and the spells that were selected for those procs, made keeping \nthe attention of the creature much too easy a task for the tank. \nSimply, it nearly eliminated the challenge of keeping a foes attention \nat levels above 50.\n\n--- We've capped the amount of hate that can be awarded to most \ncasters, specifically for debuff-type spells like the Malo and Tash \nseries. The hate calculation for these spells takes into account the \nnumber of hitpoints of the NPC and did not \"play nice\" with the \nincreased HP limit of Velious. It explains why Enchanters, for \ninstance, would complain that casting a Tash spell would lead to near-\ninstant death.\n\n--- We've redressed the amount of hate generated by heal spells. \nPreviously, and *partly* due to a bug, the high level heal spells such \nas superior heal or complete heal would generate no more hate than \ngreater heal. In fact, so little hate was generated by these spells \nthat it made controlling NPC aggression trivial. Heal spells will now \ngenerate an amount of hate more in line with the number of hitpoints \nactually healed. Due to our desire to leave the lower level game more \nor less untouched, two separate caps have been placed for targets level \n50 or below, and 51 or above. Heal spells will generate significantly \nless hate for targets below level 51 than those at or above that level.\n\n--- We've also re-evaluated ways that players have to reduce their own \nhate. While spells in place to allow this are OK, the Evade skill \n(possessed by rogues) let them out of their damage too easily. A rogue \nthat successfully evaded would immediately drop to a level of hate \nlower than someone who was in the awareness range, but hadn't done \nanything to really upset the creature such as damage it or heal its \nfoe. This problem was exacerbated by the increase of the size of the \nhate list implemented with Velious. \n\n*Tracking*\n\nTracking now works in full view for all classes that can use it, and \nsports a nifty scroll bar that allows players to see everything on the \nlist. In addition, the /trackplayer setting is now saved to the \neqclient.ini file.\n\nThe following options have been put in for Rangers only:\n\n--- /tracksort \n--- /trackfilter \n\n*/tracksort options beginning with R are reverse order\n\n*Hybrid Casting*\n\nHybrids that cast spells in combat were taking double penalties at \nhigher levels. The casting times of their spells went up, and the \namount of melee damage they do per second went up. This results is \nhaving to take longer to cast spells, and losing more damage/second for \neach second taken in casting. To help offset this, Rangers, Paladins \nand Shadowknights casting non-beneficial spells that have casting times \ngreater than or equal to 3 seconds, now get a 3 % reduction in casting \ntime for each level over 50. 3% at 51, 6% at 52, etc., to 30% at 60. \nAgain, this applies only to non-beneficial spells. \n\n- The EverQuest Team","content_hash":"ef65d9b679a4d99eb5fa33d4228a636adf6fcb1a588618c6f84ec783e7dee5e9","source_files":["patches-2001-1.txt","patches_1999-2008_combined.md","patches_1999-2010_combined.txt"],"source_titles":["February 21, 2001 3:00 am"],"source_url":null,"source_urls":[],"occurrence_count":3,"source_occurrences":[{"occurrence_id":"67f17767bd4ff6721404e09ccf48ee3a8c4d4c3db9aa08b49b4db7b372d32efb","filename":"patches_1999-2008_combined.md","adapter":"markdown","source_offset":130019,"item_index":null,"heading":"February 21, 2001 3:00 am","source_url":null,"source_url_raw":null,"published":null,"source_kind":"markdown","excerpt":false,"year_inferred":false},{"occurrence_id":"fb66da13fe6e64299a6e02b7963735b0c1c341bd60e0a7d6eea070549b30e1ff","filename":"patches_1999-2010_combined.txt","adapter":"text","source_offset":135231,"item_index":null,"heading":"February 21, 2001 3:00 am","source_url":null,"source_url_raw":null,"published":null,"source_kind":"text","excerpt":false,"year_inferred":false},{"occurrence_id":"8c81fb4682872f591287684c835364798c97592371b57fdb79ba4b6968ec3f17","filename":"patches-2001-1.txt","adapter":"text","source_offset":10481,"item_index":null,"heading":"February 21, 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":"2001-02-21-1","id":"2001-02-21-1"},{"patch_date":"2001-01-24","effective_date":"2001-01-24","display_date":"January 24, 2001","title":"January 24, 2001","year":2001,"month":1,"kind":"live","era":"EverQuest Live","expansion":"The Scars of Velious","expansion_code":"the-scars-of-velious","categories":[{"slug":"classes","label":"Classes"},{"slug":"spells-aa","label":"Spells & AA"},{"slug":"servers","label":"Servers"},{"slug":"expansions","label":"Expansions"}],"sections":["QA Openings","Small Patch"],"change_count":1,"word_count":180,"summary":"QA Openings* Our Quality Assurance department is looking for some AVID EQ gamers to join us as testers at the San Diego branch.

We \nappreciate the opportunity to spend some time focusing on specific \nissues important to you. Today's patch includes the following:\n\n*Disciplines*\n\n- The \"Resistant\" Discipline now lasts 5 minutes instead of the \nprevious 1.\n- The \"Holy Forge\" Discipline now lasts 5 minutes instead of the \nprevious 2.\n- The \"Weaponshield\" Discipline now lasts 20 seconds instead of the \nprevious 15.\n- The \"Leechcurse\" Discipline now lasts 20 seconds instead of the \nprevious 15.\n- The \"Deftdance\" Discipline now lasts 15 seconds instead of the \nprevious 10.\n- The \"Puretone\" Discipline now lasts 4 minutes instead of the previous \n2.\n- The \"Sanctification\" discipline now lasts 15 seconds instead of the \nprevious 10.\n- The \"Unholy Aura\" Discipline now gives a 50% bonus to Harmtouch \n(compared with the previous 25%) and causes it to save versus disease, \nwhich should result in even fewer resists in most high-level \nencounters.\n\n*Spells*\n\n- \"Lay on Hands\" has been improved starting at 40th level.\n- The \"Summon Corpse\" spell is now available to Shadowknights.\n- Corrected a bug that was causing damage while using the \"Trueshot\" \nDiscipline to be the same regardless of the quality of your bow.\n- The spells \"Focus of Spirit\" and \"Visions of Grandeur\" now stack.\n- \"Harmtouch\" is now resisted as if it were a \"Lifetap\" spell, meaning \nthat it is all-or-nothing, and nearly unresistable with exception to \nencounters that are immune to magic or out of the acceptable level \nrange. In addition, maximum damage for Harmtouch has been increased \nstarting at 40th level.\n- We fixed a bug that caused \"Lure\" type spells (Wizards) to be \nresisted more than they should have been in certain types of \nencounters.\n- Melee attack timers will no longer be reset when a SK, Paladin, or \nRanger cast a spell. Previously these classes had to wait a full attack \ndelay after casting before they would attack via melee again. \n\n*Miscellaneous*\n\n- You may now adjust the clipping plane in the Hole. Previously, the \nclipping plane was fixed. Many people requested the ability to bring \nthe clipping plane closer to allow them to improve their client's \nperformance.\n- Fixed several problems with trade-skill components that were not \ndropping. Also added some new recipes.\n- Fixed the Iksar \"Shackle of Steel\" quest. \n- The additional options for /camp (/camp server, /camp desktop) have \nbeen implemented. /camp server will take you to the server-selection \nscreen. /camp desktop will cause EverQuest to terminate and take you to \nthe desktop.\n\n*Root and Snare*\n\nRoot-type spells and \"snare\" type spells now use a separate spell \neffect. \n\nPreviously, \"Root\" spells would overwrite any snare effect upon the \ntarget. When the root would wear off, the target began moving at full \nspeed. With this change, when root wears off, snare will still be in \neffect. This has a few added effects on the other end. \n\nFor instance, root will no longer cancel SoW or Journeyman's Boots \neffects. It also allowed us to correct a long-standing bug that was \nallowing bards to cancel root on themselves by playing Selo's \nAccelerando if Selo's was in effect at the time that the bard was \nrooted. As mentioned in a previous patch where the first part of this \nbug was fixed, this was not the intended effect.\n\n*Looting NODROP Items*\n\nA new command is now available to EverQuest players. \n\nIn order to prevent the accidental looting of NODROP items, the \n/lootnodrop command has been added to the client. The command supports \nthree options: ALWAYS (Default) - You will be presented with a yes/no \nconfirmation box when attempting to loot any NODROP item. SOMETIMES - \nYou will be presented with a yes/no confirmation box when attempting to \nloot any NODROP items that your race and/or class cannot use. NEVER - \nNODROP items will be looted without confirmation. \n\nIt is highly recommended that you DO NOT CHANGE this from the default \noption, as the GM staff cannot assist in cases of accidental looting.\n\n\n- The EverQuest Team","content_hash":"2d5ec3478d8b4028787269e369274687f9f70378c6ddaaddb3e30de2bf258b09","source_files":["patches-2001-1.txt","patches_1999-2008_combined.md","patches_1999-2010_combined.txt"],"source_titles":["January 9, 2001 3:00 am"],"source_url":null,"source_urls":[],"occurrence_count":3,"source_occurrences":[{"occurrence_id":"0a9df7a489e25f3c14ddfded366d18b1f52e814fd0faadbda2b0cdecefad34a9","filename":"patches_1999-2008_combined.md","adapter":"markdown","source_offset":120027,"item_index":null,"heading":"January 9, 2001 3:00 am","source_url":null,"source_url_raw":null,"published":null,"source_kind":"markdown","excerpt":false,"year_inferred":false},{"occurrence_id":"4e33007fabd7da742ea4fbb41668cb0d07529989d5460e03c7818302fefa3b41","filename":"patches_1999-2010_combined.txt","adapter":"text","source_offset":124852,"item_index":null,"heading":"January 9, 2001 3:00 am","source_url":null,"source_url_raw":null,"published":null,"source_kind":"text","excerpt":false,"year_inferred":false},{"occurrence_id":"e30e396a0fbbb55d0dfcbf30a0c41773b8758c5f7538f9a5f6bf88e4e5765e0c","filename":"patches-2001-1.txt","adapter":"text","source_offset":102,"item_index":null,"heading":"January 9, 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":"2001-01-09-1","id":"2001-01-09-1"},{"patch_date":"2000-12-19","effective_date":"2000-12-19","display_date":"December 19, 2000 3:00 am","title":"December 19, 2000 3:00 am","year":2000,"month":12,"kind":"live","era":"EverQuest Live","expansion":"The Scars of Velious","expansion_code":"the-scars-of-velious","categories":[{"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":"servers","label":"Servers"},{"slug":"audio-graphics","label":"Audio & Graphics"},{"slug":"expansions","label":"Expansions"}],"sections":["Patch Day","been implemented on the Live servers"],"change_count":11,"word_count":342,"summary":"Patch Day* Today's patch primarily consists of tuning of Velious zones as well as content and other additions.

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":"2000-12-16","effective_date":"2000-12-16","display_date":"December 16, 2000 12:00 am","title":"December 16, 2000 12:00 am","year":2000,"month":12,"kind":"live","era":"EverQuest Live","expansion":"The Scars of Velious","expansion_code":"the-scars-of-velious","categories":[{"slug":"servers","label":"Servers"}],"sections":["Movelog Reminder"],"change_count":2,"word_count":82,"summary":"Movelog Reminder* We want to remind players on Solusek Ro, Karana, and Cazic-Thule that registration for move to the new split-server will open 10am PST (GMT- today and will remain open until 12:00am Monday.

Travel in \nthat direction was supposed to require a key.\n- We believe we fixed a problem where NPCs sometimes would hit a pet-\nowner no matter how far away the owner was from the pet and the NPC. \n- Corrected loot drops in Thurgadin.\n\nWe again appreciate patience while we stabilize following Velious \nlaunch.\n\n- The EverQuest Team","content_hash":"56ae59d6b835337e40b13a0825e4c7f62dae24e509b58081a85fe5b05cac0c08","source_files":["patches-2000-2.txt","patches_1999-2008_combined.md","patches_1999-2010_combined.txt"],"source_titles":["December 7, 2000 4:00 am"],"source_url":null,"source_urls":[],"occurrence_count":3,"source_occurrences":[{"occurrence_id":"3085979e53d5282a1793c09376d6b46a0b2ce8880335085dfbefec8f53040400","filename":"patches_1999-2008_combined.md","adapter":"markdown","source_offset":113182,"item_index":null,"heading":"December 7, 2000 4:00 am","source_url":null,"source_url_raw":null,"published":null,"source_kind":"markdown","excerpt":false,"year_inferred":false},{"occurrence_id":"712ad3cef0b0c31632cea82617ad9fd1f2649ef54e913bee6b7c92b25f60c4a0","filename":"patches_1999-2010_combined.txt","adapter":"text","source_offset":117450,"item_index":null,"heading":"December 7, 2000 4:00 am","source_url":null,"source_url_raw":null,"published":null,"source_kind":"text","excerpt":false,"year_inferred":false},{"occurrence_id":"862b6d03623ebd94c10e8e01317893e2bf01df0c1ca3df2084a33b04595b7464","filename":"patches-2000-2.txt","adapter":"text","source_offset":55774,"item_index":null,"heading":"December 7, 2000 4:00 am","source_url":null,"source_url_raw":null,"published":null,"source_kind":"text","excerpt":false,"year_inferred":false}],"year_inferred":false,"sequence":1,"slug":"2000-12-07-1","id":"2000-12-07-1"},{"patch_date":"2000-11-29","effective_date":"2000-11-29","display_date":"November 29, 2000 3:00 am","title":"November 29, 2000 3:00 am","year":2000,"month":11,"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":"items","label":"Items"},{"slug":"zones-npcs","label":"Zones & NPCs"},{"slug":"quests-events","label":"Quests & Events"},{"slug":"servers","label":"Servers"},{"slug":"audio-graphics","label":"Audio & Graphics"},{"slug":"expansions","label":"Expansions"}],"sections":["Patch Day","gameplay issues"],"change_count":13,"word_count":546,"summary":"Patch Day* Today's patch includes updates to the client to address some problems reported by people in regards to the DX7 update, as well as other gameplay issues: Corrected an older bug that would cause people to stop gaining or losing faction with associates when the primary faction was at its…","content":"*Patch Day*\n\nToday's patch includes updates to the client to address some problems \nreported by people in regards to the DX7 update, as well as other \ngameplay issues:\n\n- Corrected an older bug that would cause people to stop gaining or \nlosing faction with associates when the primary faction was at its \nmaximum or minimum. 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.

You MUST have DirectX 7 or higher installed in \norder to play EverQuest. 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. For instance, \ntyping \"/note This is a note\" will put \"This is a note\" on the next \nline in the notes.txt file.\n\n- The EverQuest Team","content_hash":"ba00eaf874da8c1483023a6b5b04b89807643f078ef3048815a994ccab1cdded","source_files":["patches-2000-2.txt","patches_1999-2008_combined.md","patches_1999-2010_combined.txt"],"source_titles":["November 15, 2000 3:00 am"],"source_url":null,"source_urls":[],"occurrence_count":3,"source_occurrences":[{"occurrence_id":"c7aba9445f9bff4a0981d8f6eec3c74237a733db4fee450a4839440d2cb77699","filename":"patches_1999-2008_combined.md","adapter":"markdown","source_offset":97657,"item_index":null,"heading":"November 15, 2000 3:00 am","source_url":null,"source_url_raw":null,"published":null,"source_kind":"markdown","excerpt":false,"year_inferred":false},{"occurrence_id":"0bf45e4a31422b852de62d908f82d9251cb60ec483991b7899851b3dc8de4049","filename":"patches_1999-2010_combined.txt","adapter":"text","source_offset":101307,"item_index":null,"heading":"November 15, 2000 3:00 am","source_url":null,"source_url_raw":null,"published":null,"source_kind":"text","excerpt":false,"year_inferred":false},{"occurrence_id":"089b8023faf6941beb9328edcf516b2ec02b17391703a30934b1de3ab153bad9","filename":"patches-2000-2.txt","adapter":"text","source_offset":39631,"item_index":null,"heading":"November 15, 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":"2000-11-15-1","id":"2000-11-15-1"},{"patch_date":"2000-10-03","effective_date":"2000-10-03","display_date":"October 3, 2000 4:00 pm","title":"October 3, 2000 4:00 pm","year":2000,"month":10,"kind":"live","era":"EverQuest Live","expansion":"The Ruins of Kunark","expansion_code":"the-ruins-of-kunark","categories":[{"slug":"items","label":"Items"},{"slug":"zones-npcs","label":"Zones & NPCs"},{"slug":"quests-events","label":"Quests & Events"},{"slug":"servers","label":"Servers"}],"sections":["Today's Patch"],"change_count":1,"word_count":56,"summary":"Today's Patch* Today's patch consisted mostly of server-side changes, additions, and fixes regarding NPCs and quests.

This should help those on large multi-group encounters who \nneed some prep-time before looting items.\n- The item \"Woe\" has been repaired. If you receive the \"Item out of \ncharges\" message when your \"Woe\" attempts to fire its spell, please \ncontact a GM to trade out the item.\n- The spell \"Mark of Karn\" has been changed. The recast-time has been \nreduced significantly and the Hitpoint-return is now scaled inversely \nbased upon the delay of the weapon. In addition, a hitpoint return will \nonly take place when the target is hit with a primary melee weapon, or \nthe primary hand if you are unarmed.\n- Some more tradeskill component vendors have been placed within the \nworld to make certain tradeskills easier to use in your home town.\n- \"AFK\" and \"LD\" status will now be reported above player's heads. \n\n*Fleeing NPCs* \n\nLast week's patch caused NPCs to flee more than before due to a bug \nthat was fixed. After evaluating the situation, we decided to reduce \nthe chance to flee, but not to the extent that it was reduced before. \nNPCs were previously much more \"brave\" than they should have been. \n\nAs part of the same change, charmed NPCs also began fleeing when low on \nhealth. We've determined that this is not a good situation for the \nplayers. As such, we have stopped charmed creatures from fleeing per \nplayer request. \n\n*Level 1 Character Purge* \n\nThe Level 1 character purge has been completed. All level 1 characters \nthat have not been played within the past 30 days have been deleted. \n\n*New Server Active* \n\nTholuxe Paells, a new server open to new characters only, is now active \nand ready for play. Enjoy! As a reminder, /movelog registration will \ntake place on Mithaniel Marr and Tunare Friday evening from 6PM to \nMidnight (PDT: GMT-7). \nRegistered characters will be moved to a second new server, Drinal, \nearly next week. \n\n***User Interface Changes*** \n\nMany UI enhancements were made in today's patch: \n\n*Moving and Resizing Windows* \n\nThe data windows in the full screen \"HUD\" mode may now be moved by \nclicking in the upper left-hand corner, moving them to where you want, \nthen clicking again. The \"spell effect\" and \"chat\" windows can be \nresized by clicking on the lower right-hand corner, dragging to the \nappropriate size, and then clicking again. Coordinates for window \nlocations in each resolution are stored in the EQCLIENT.INI file. \n\n*Bugs with Several Commands Fixed* \n\nWe fixed a problem with /book, /sit, and /doability that allowed them \nto be executed at inappropriate times, such as while charmed or feared. \nThey should now only function when the native button would have \nfunctioned if pressed. \n\n*Miscellaneous Additions* \n\nAdded the following /-commands: \n\n- /camp: Causes your character to camp out. You must be sitting to use \n/camp.\n- /disband: Will disband you from your current group, or turn down an \ninvitation to join another group.\n- /invite: Will invite the target into a group, or accept an invitation \nif one is pending.\n- /attack: Will toggle the state of \"Auto-attack\". You may also add a \nparameter of \"on\" or \"off\" to explicitly set the state. \n\nIn addition: \n\n- CTRL-1 through CTRL-8 will cast the spell in the specified spell-\nslot.\n- \":\" (colon: Short for /emote) and \"'\" (apostrophe: Short for /say) \nwill now bring up the chat line in the same fashion as the /-key and \nENTER.\n- The \"R\" key (by default) takes you into reply-mode as always, \nbringing up a reply to the last person sending you a /tell. However, \nyou can now TAB and SHIFT-TAB to cycle through the last 10 people that \nhave sent you /tells. \n\n*Pauses in Socials* \n\nYou may now enter pauses in social batches with the /pause command. \n/pause takes an argument from 1 to 600, with the value being equal to \nthe number of tenths of seconds (i.e. /pause 100 will yield a 10 second \npause). \n\nFor example, a social consisting of: \n/sit off /cast 1 /pause 100 /sit on \n\n...would cause you to stand up, cast the spell in slot 1, wait 10 \nseconds after you've STARTED casting the spell, and sit down. \n\nFurthermore, you can also use the /pause command on the same line as \nanother social by separating the commands with a comma. Even though the \npause command is specified first, it is executed AFTER the command on \nthe same line. \n\nFor example: \n/sit off /pause 100,/cast 1 /sit on \n\n...would have the same effect as the example above. It is important to \nnote that the comma can only be used to separate a /pause command from \nanother, and MUST be specified first on the line. \n\n*Emote Codes* \n\nThe @ symbol has been replaced with a series of %-codes that expand \ninto various pieces of information, and now works in ALL chat channels \n(emote, say, shout, ooc, auction, group, guild). \n\nThe new %-codes are: \n%T - Returns the current target.\n%S - Returns the subjective gender-specific pronoun for the target (He, She, It).\n%O - Returns the objective gender-specific pronoun for the target (Him, Her, It).\n%P - Returns the posessive gender-specific pronoun for the target (His, Her, Its).\n%R - Returns the race of the target (only works on Player characters).\n\nFor example, if you have a target of \"a gnoll\", the following emote: \n/point say points at %T indicating that he is ready to kill %O. \n\n...Your character will execute the \"point\" animation with a text output \nof \"CharacterName points at a gnoll indicating that he is ready to kill \nit.\" \n\n- The EverQuest Team","content_hash":"a3b2b6244e3b141ca86575523be469d0ed6a7793714b65b1cc50d6997a9efd07","source_files":["patches-2000-2.txt","patches_1999-2008_combined.md","patches_1999-2010_combined.txt"],"source_titles":["September 28, 2000 7:00 am"],"source_url":null,"source_urls":[],"occurrence_count":3,"source_occurrences":[{"occurrence_id":"559a30095d85241a5b6eedae58b897d9aef6c67bf67adb6b58ed6027db9fa81d","filename":"patches_1999-2008_combined.md","adapter":"markdown","source_offset":88566,"item_index":null,"heading":"September 28, 2000 7:00 am","source_url":null,"source_url_raw":null,"published":null,"source_kind":"markdown","excerpt":false,"year_inferred":false},{"occurrence_id":"5deb879ac61e7575ff282822d89be5d250a0bbb250f1b8bc4b063d154fbbb191","filename":"patches_1999-2010_combined.txt","adapter":"text","source_offset":91923,"item_index":null,"heading":"September 28, 2000 7:00 am","source_url":null,"source_url_raw":null,"published":null,"source_kind":"text","excerpt":false,"year_inferred":false},{"occurrence_id":"b0270fef64251b7150ac4847b8b37052e60deeac19bc696f0f47fdfabaea940e","filename":"patches-2000-2.txt","adapter":"text","source_offset":30247,"item_index":null,"heading":"September 28, 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":"2000-09-28-1","id":"2000-09-28-1"},{"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":"2000-09-12","effective_date":"2000-09-12","display_date":"September 12, 2000 3:00 pm","title":"September 12, 2000 3:00 pm","year":2000,"month":9,"kind":"live","era":"EverQuest Live","expansion":"The Ruins of Kunark","expansion_code":"the-ruins-of-kunark","categories":[{"slug":"servers","label":"Servers"}],"sections":["Guild Maintenance"],"change_count":1,"word_count":144,"summary":"Guild Maintenance* We are in the process of preparing to do maintenance on the guild database.

To \nuse this new feature, please refer to the EQROKManualSupplement.doc \nfile in your EverQuest directory.

As part of this patch, three new changes are included:\n\n    /Consent no longer gives other players permission to loot your corpse. Instead, it only gives them the ability to drag your corpse using the /corpse command. This change is due to player request stemming from number of customer service issues raised by some players who were using /consent as a way to steal the belongings of other players. The change will eliminate those concerns and make the game more enjoyable for all of those involved.\n    Yesterday's patch changed the way spell-damage messages are reported to the caster. The new text was dark blue, making it hard to distinguish from the background when in HUD mode. The text color has been changed to \"yellow\" due to player request.\n    Duel messages will no longer be broadcast to the world unless the winner of the duel is over 10th level.

Basically,\none of our game designers heard that the weapon was NORENT, concluded\nthat it must be a bug, and took the initiative to fix it.\nUnfortunately, the stats on this weapon, despite its disadvantages of\nweight and its non-magical composition, make it much too powerful for\nits location and difficulty in obtaining it.\n\nFor these reasons, the weapon is once again NORENT, and will disappear\nthe next time that you log out.

It will remain in your \npossession when you leave the game.\n- A couple pieces of Blood Ember armor have been reduced in weight.\n- Reduced the weight on several Monk weapons found in Kunark.\n\n*PvP Teams Servers (VZ/TZ) and Illusions*\n\nDue to an outstanding bug that allowed a player to permanently \nmesmerize or stun opposing team members when coupled with an illusion, \nillusions will now automatically cancel when the person wearing the \nillusion casts an offensive spell upon any player-character. Players \nshould keep this in mind before attacking with spells in an area where \ntheir faction standing is less than desirable. \n\nIllusions are defined as any spell that makes a character look \ndifferent than they actually are. This includes all racial illusions, \nas well as other illusions such as Treeform, Wolfform, and the Call of \nBones series. \n\n*Risk and Reward*\n\nThe concept of risk and reward is very important to the game of \nEverQuest. Ideally, situations that provide a greater reward should \nalso provide substantial risk. Over the past several weeks, we've been \nidentifying areas in game where risk and reward are at a disparity, and \nmaking necessary adjustments. \n\nIn most cases, those adjustments are in favor of increasing the reward \nfor a specific action. For example, we recently increased the \nexperience awarded in many Kunark zones to offset the sometimes-\nconsiderable risk associated with adventuring there. We also do this \nquite frequently by increasing the reward associated with a quest by \nenhancing the item, as we did last week with the Burning Rapier quest. \n\nHowever, in some cases there are instances where reward is far in \nexcess of the risk involved, and we will be correcting these issues \nlike those above as we come across them. For example, there are many \ncases where a solitary and stationary outdoor creature has a \"fast \nspawn\", yielding the reward of fast experience-gain without the \ncommensurate risk. \n\nThough it is not our policy to announce changes to individual NPCs, we \ndid want to let you know that you will see risk/reward disparities \ncorrected over the next several weeks.\n\n*PvP Teams (VZ/TZ) Character Transfers*\n\nAs many people playing upon the PvP-Teams servers are aware, Vallon Zek \nand Tallon Zek have different rules regarding looting rights from PvP \ncombat. Vallon Zek allows the victor to loot all coin plus one item \nfrom the fallen, whereas Tallon Zek allows only coin-loot with no right to loot items.\n\nDue to the fact that the looting rules were changed on Tallon Zek post-\nproduction, we've decided to allow characters on both servers a one-\ntime character-move. Registration for the move will open at 6:00pm PDT \non Friday, June 9th, 2000, on both servers, and will be open through \n12:00pm PDT on Monday, June 12th, 2000. You can register for the move \nby executing the \"/movelog yes\" command during the registration window. \nThere is no limit to the number of people that we will allow to move \nbetween Tallon and Vallon Zek, so there is no reason to rush to enter \nthe command.\n\nPlease remember that once you register for the move, your decision can \nnot be rescinded. The actual character-move will take place sometime \nnext week, at a time to be announced later. Please keep in mind that \ncorpses are not moved in a character-move, so we'd recommend against \nleaving unclaimed corpses around after Monday of next week if you've \nasked to be moved. \n\nQuestions about the move process will be addressed in the Gameplay \nMessage Forum available via www.everquest.com.\n\n\n- The EverQuest Team\n\nUpdates Not Included in This Patch Message:\n\n* Banshee Aura has had its duration increased.\n* Scale of Wolf and Spirit of Scale will no longer be canceled by being \nthe target of a melee attack. Ranged attacks and spells will still \ncancel the spell.\n* Shaman can now cast Charm Animal\n* Some enchanter and shaman spells have had their casting times/mana \ncosts altered.\n* Augment, Glamour of Kintaz, Rapture, and Clarity II have had their \nmana cost lowered.\n* Root spells that cause damage (Druid roots, Hungry Earth) now work \nproperly.","content_hash":"882f99c85ab929f6106a3459f7a8fa51d61fb16791f97ea1f0f14a51ee544991","source_files":["patches-2000-1.txt","patches_1999-2008_combined.md","patches_1999-2010_combined.txt"],"source_titles":["June 6, 2000 8:00 am"],"source_url":null,"source_urls":[],"occurrence_count":3,"source_occurrences":[{"occurrence_id":"30937437ac02b33b2c6e614f4d2611602eb58fe00a1b5f3f1b267926bde1dd4d","filename":"patches_1999-2008_combined.md","adapter":"markdown","source_offset":44994,"item_index":null,"heading":"June 6, 2000 8:00 am","source_url":null,"source_url_raw":null,"published":null,"source_kind":"markdown","excerpt":false,"year_inferred":false},{"occurrence_id":"6c3428707439dd3677bcab4a3b1484e51fac89b1d40161006e05326348b8df7d","filename":"patches_1999-2010_combined.txt","adapter":"text","source_offset":47088,"item_index":null,"heading":"June 6, 2000 8:00 am","source_url":null,"source_url_raw":null,"published":null,"source_kind":"text","excerpt":false,"year_inferred":false},{"occurrence_id":"10a41c21084d3aae5a5c3753ee91f88a7bd047656e6b4d49de76a40f627cd66c","filename":"patches-2000-1.txt","adapter":"text","source_offset":44010,"item_index":null,"heading":"June 6, 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":"2000-06-06-1","id":"2000-06-06-1"},{"patch_date":"2000-05-25","effective_date":"2000-05-25","display_date":"May 25, 2000 8:00 am","title":"May 25, 2000 8:00 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":"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":["Patch Day","servers","Spells/Songs","Items","General Changes"],"change_count":12,"word_count":567,"summary":"Patch Day* Greetings all!

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":"2000-04-28","effective_date":"2000-04-28","display_date":"April 28, 2000","title":"April 28, 2000","year":2000,"month":4,"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":"zones-npcs","label":"Zones & NPCs"},{"slug":"quests-events","label":"Quests & Events"},{"slug":"servers","label":"Servers"},{"slug":"expansions","label":"Expansions"}],"sections":["Spells","Binding in Timorous Deep","Iksar Quests","Iksar Factions","Server Splits"],"change_count":3,"word_count":291,"summary":"Spells* \"Scale of Wolf\" is now group-only.

They work much better now.\n- The Magicians Phantom Armor series now grants HP regeneration.\n- The Druid spell, dance of the fireflies, has been changed from \n\"Outdoor only\" to \"Night only\". It may now be cast in dungeons.\n- Corrected a typographical error that allowed high level magicians to \ninscribe the Malosi spell. It was not intended for magicians under \nlevel 50.\n\n*General Changes/Fixes*\n- Items have gained the ability to be restricted by Deity. If a deity \nrestriction is placed upon an item, it will show when you right-click-\nand-hold on the item.\n- The AC on the mid-level cleric quest armor has been increased.\n- The Terror Mask will now cast \"Fear\" instead of \"Call of Bones\" as \npreviously announced. The \"Call of Bones\" effect was placed on this \nitem by mistake.\n- The Mempo of Likato now grants AC.\n- The Quest for the Short Sword of Morin has been fixed.\n- Some spawn-time problems in Mistmoore have been repaired.\n- Five spawn-time problems were identified in regards to the Armor of \nRo (Paladin) quests. They have been fixed and Paladins should have a \nmuch easier time of obtaining their armor.\n- Pets should now attack Willowisps on command.\n- Many spell-gems and icons have been changed to reflect the \nappropriate action of the spell. Be sure to reacquaint yourself with \nyour spell line-up.\n- Fixed a bug that caused targetable bard songs to ignore the \ninstrument in use.\n\n*Kerra Ridge*\nKerra Ridge has been completely revamped. The target level-range for \nthe zone has been slightly increased. In addition, many new quests have \nbeen added to the zone. The faction for Kerrans has been changed so \nthat those who killed them indiscriminately before today's update can \ntake part.

In addition, Erudites may now also be \nShadowknights in addition to the other classes available to them. All \nErudite Necromancers, Shadowknights, and Clerics who worship the God of \nFear, Cazic-Thule, now start in the City of Paineel. As such, if you \nwish to create a character of this type from this point forward, you \n*must* download the Paineel zone-files via the Optional Patch.\n\nPlease note that if you downloaded the Paineel zone files recently, you \nmust run the Optional Patch again to insure you have the correct \nversion of the files.\n\nIn related news, all of the entrances to the Qeynos Catacombs have been \nfixed.\n\nEnjoy!\n\nThe following changes have been implemented on the live servers:\n\n*Spell Changes*\n\n- The recast delay for many of the Shaman buff-spells have been \nreduced.\n- \"Reoccurring Amnesia\" has had its casting time reduced.\n- \"Yaulp\" and \"Augmentation\" should now stack.\n- \"Solidarity of Vision\" has had its duration increased.\n- The Druid spell, \"Skin Like Nature\", has been returned to its former \nstatus due to popular opinion. As such, the damage-shield component has \nbeen removed and the regeneration component has been re-applied.\n- \"Sense Magic\" has been replaced in all cases by the \"True North\" \nspell. If you have already inscribed the \"Sense Magic\" spell, the spell \nicon will now automatically reflect \"True North\".\n- A bug that existed with several damage-shield spells, causing their \ndamage to be subtracted rather than added when stacked, has been \ncorrected. The spells will now stack properly.\n- The \"Feign Death\" spell, when cast by a Necromancer, will now have a \nfixed duration. The Necromancer will receive several warnings prior to \nthe spell wearing off. This change was necessary because some \nNecromancers found a way to gain experience through their pet while \nbeing AFK for an extended duration, such as being in bed for the night. \nNote: This does not affect Shadowknights or Monks.\n- New Necromancer spells are now in game. Check your spell vendors.\n- Alchemy has been revamped. Check with your local Shaman.\n- DOT (Damage Over Time) spells will no longer hinder camping.\n\n*General Changes/Fixes*\n\n- The dungeon of Paw has again received a minor update to slightly \nreduce the difficulty of the zone.\n\n- All known issues with the SBLive soundcard have been corrected.\n\n- From this point forward, deleting a character will cause all corpses \nbelonging to that character to likewise be deleted. This change was \nmade primarily to stop a no-drop transfer bug. It also has the added \neffect of cleaning up corpses for characters that people no longer \nintend to play.\n\n- Crippling Blows will now display the correct damage in the \"You have \nscored a Crippling Blow (###)\" line.\n\n*Corpse Looting Exploit*\n\nRecently, an exploit was discovered that allowed certain unsavory \nindividuals to loot the corpses of other players without their consent. \nThe precise symptom of this is that the owner would find their corpse \nstripped of everything except for no-drop items, and items in a bag \nwith no-drop items. This exploit was fixed in this patch.\n\nIf you were affected by this exploit recently, you are entitled to a \nreimbursement of your lost items assuming that we still have a record \nof what you had. Please contact a GM in-game to arrange for an \ninvestigation.\n\nDuring the course of the investigation, people who have exploited this \nbug will be subject to disciplinary action by our GM staff up to and \nincluding item wipes, suspension, and/or banishment.\n\n*Rogue Enhancements*\n\nRogues received several enhancements as part of this patch:\n\n- The chance to score a critical hit with a throwing weapon has been \nincreased significantly.\n\n- When throwing a weapon from behind the NPC in question, a rogue now \nhas a chance to score a \"Deadly Strike\", for enhanced damage above and \nbeyond that of a critical hit.\n\n- A new rogue-specific ability has been added to the \"Hide\" skill. It \nis called \"Evade\". This skill has the effect of lowering the amount \nthat the targeted NPC hates the rogue, and has the potential of making \nthe engaged NPC switch to another target (preferably a tank) within the \nrogue's group. It is essentially a \"reverse taunt\". This ability helps \nmitigate the negative effects of the rogue's exceedingly high damage-\noutput potential. It also will in-turn help the rogue do even more \ndamage as the NPC is much more likely to expose its back. It is engaged \nby targeting the NPC you wish to \"Evade\" and pressing the \"Hide\" \nbutton. As a note, you must not be in combat mode in order to use this \nability.\n\n*Mistwalker*\n\nThe Mistwalker will once again cast its spell as often as it used to \nprior to the last patch. However, the resulting pet will now \nautomatically \"dissipate\" after one combat round. The change that \nreduced the \"proc\" percentage on the weapon was made due to an \nunintended interaction between the pet and the target when several \nusers of this weapon were attacking the same target. Since the new pet \nnow automatically dissipates after one round, the reduced \"proc\" \npercentage was no longer necessary.\n\n*Class-Specific Armor Quests*\n\nClass-Specific armor quests, especially those belonging to Clerics, \nPaladins, and Shadowknights, have been reduced in terms of how long it \nwill take the average person to acquire the armor. These classes, and \nothers that found particular pieces of their armor exceedingly \ndifficult to obtain should find it much easier now.\n\nIn addition, a bug that hindered completion of the Bracer of Ro quest \nfor some races has been corrected.\n\n*Tallon Zek*\n\nLoot rules for PvP deaths on the PvP-Teams server, Tallon Zek, have \nbeen changed from \"Coin + 1 item\" to \"Coin Only\". This change was made \nto study the impact of loot-rules upon server population in reference \nto the loot/efficiency disparity between caster and melee characters. \nThis change is a test, and may or may not be retained or rolled out \nacross the other PvP servers, pending the results of the server \npopulation study over the next few weeks.\n\n*Plane Changes*\n\nSeveral changes have been implemented in the Planes as part of this \npatch:\n\n- Characters will now lose all enchantments upon entering the Plane of \nSky.\n\n- Due to the fact that the levitate-series no longer works within the \nPlane of Sky, a teleporter has been placed to allow entrance into the \nquest room.\n\n- A teleporter has been placed within the Plane of Hate in order to \ngive non-casters a way out of the zone besides death, potion, or group \nteleport.\n\n*Loot Messages*\n\nMessages indicating what has been looted from a corpse will now be \nbroadcast to everyone within the looters group. This change was made \ndue to public request and to encourage trust within the group. We may, \nin the future, employ filters to allow people to choose whether or not \nthey wish to receive loot messages.\n\n*Fiery Avenger*\n\nThe greatly anticipated defining blade of the Paladin, the \"Fiery \nAvenger\", is again available within game via a quest. The *first* \ndevout Paladin to wield this blade and be validated by a GM in-game \nwill be publicly congratulated within a patch message and on the \nOfficial EverQuest web-site at www.everquest.com.\n\n- The EverQuest Team","content_hash":"0e5ab2da488fb0bd067a7445c9f4c3f0eed895c9ee9163b026a11075c7a43405","source_files":["patches-2000-1.txt","patches_1999-2008_combined.md","patches_1999-2010_combined.txt"],"source_titles":["February 17, 2000 7:00 am"],"source_url":null,"source_urls":[],"occurrence_count":3,"source_occurrences":[{"occurrence_id":"66ea600e6e4f996e49b3f93e5822470db1cd8e1fc9270e1de29d983a824adf4c","filename":"patches_1999-2008_combined.md","adapter":"markdown","source_offset":22115,"item_index":null,"heading":"February 17, 2000 7:00 am","source_url":null,"source_url_raw":null,"published":null,"source_kind":"markdown","excerpt":false,"year_inferred":false},{"occurrence_id":"32ca854e4a523a39bca6221aa12bd8c8467b802b29a4e376e70792fc12346587","filename":"patches_1999-2010_combined.txt","adapter":"text","source_offset":23170,"item_index":null,"heading":"February 17, 2000 7:00 am","source_url":null,"source_url_raw":null,"published":null,"source_kind":"text","excerpt":false,"year_inferred":false},{"occurrence_id":"34e4db21dfb0cdfaf27cdc0cf47b82f210b2486741f6cdbcf0a8d25e4d5cfcd3","filename":"patches-2000-1.txt","adapter":"text","source_offset":18207,"item_index":null,"heading":"February 17, 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":"2000-02-17-1","id":"2000-02-17-1"},{"patch_date":"2000-02-03","effective_date":"2000-02-03","display_date":"February 3, 2000 8:00 am","title":"February 3, 2000 8:00 am","year":2000,"month":2,"kind":"live","era":"EverQuest Live","expansion":"Original EverQuest","expansion_code":"original-everquest","categories":[{"slug":"classes","label":"Classes"},{"slug":"spells-aa","label":"Spells & AA"},{"slug":"pvp","label":"PvP"},{"slug":"servers","label":"Servers"}],"sections":["Spells","Songs","radius","PvP-Teams Change","The Plane of Sky"],"change_count":13,"word_count":335,"summary":"The following changes have been implemented on the live servers: Spells* Lay On Hands: Enhanced to heal more hitpoints per level.

We apologize for the inconvenience.\n\nIncluded with this patch are several changes that were not supposed to occur until the \nregular patch next week. These changes are inseparable from the changes required to fix \nthe network problems, and as such are being implemented a little earlier than we would like. \nThere will be additional changes in the next patch that we wanted to include with the current \nchanges, however to reduce overall downtime and customer inconvenience, they are being postponed \nuntil next week.\n\n*Changes in Current Patch*\n\n*Warriors*\n\nWarriors now have a chance to strike a \"Crippling Blow\" when berserk. \"Crippling Blow\" is much the \nsame as a \"Critical Hit\" with increased damage and an integral stun.\n\n*Magicians and Necromancers*\n\nWe discovered a bug whereby all NPCs will not utilize their \"Dual Wield\" skill unless they have a weapon \nequipped in their off-hand. This bug would not allow magician and necromancer pets to use their \"Dual Wield\" \nskill unless handed two weapons by their masters. Since magician pets could not wield weapons at all, they \nnever used their \"dual wield\" skill.\n\nCorrecting this bug would cause all NPCs above the mid-20s to suddenly begin using their \"dual wield\" skill to\nattack players with their off-hand. This would cause a drastic shift to game balance, as most non-pet NPCs are\ngenerally considered balanced.\n\nMagicians may now equip their pets with weapons. This will allow their pets to utilize their \"dual wield\" skill, \nthus increasing the number of attacks that the pet can make per round.\n\nSince magician pets can now wield weapons, an ability previously reserved for necromancers, high level necromancer \nsummons (44 or above) will now randomly cast spell effects upon the creatures they fight.\n\nAn additional change has been made to make it easier for necromancers and magicians to equip their pets. Previously, \nnecromancers had to equip their pets with two *different* weapons in order enable them to \"dual wield\". This change \nallows magicians and necromancers alike to hand their pet two *identical* weapons, thus making it easier for them to \nget their pet to \"dual wield\".\n\nThese changes drew our attention to the disparity that exists between melee characters and caster pets. Both of these \npets, after the initial round of changes, could wield certain weapons that would significantly increase their attack \nspeed. We acknowledge that necromancers always had this ability, and apologize for our delay in addressing it, but \nweapons will no longer increase the attack speed (lower the attack delay) of a pet.\n\nIn the near future, several new spells are planned for necromancers of level 12 and above, including a new type of \nnecromancer-only spell that is very group-friendly. We were planning to include these new spells with the changes in \npet/weapon interaction, but those additions require downtime best restricted to the planned update schedule. We expect \nto implement the new spell effects in the next patch, tentatively scheduled for next week.\n\n- The EverQuest Team","content_hash":"a1162c0fc7990a24c7d812699d5894b03cc6807dc7e345a46c431f22e28ea766","source_files":["patches-2000-1.txt"],"source_titles":["January 28th, 7:00pm Emergency Patch"],"source_url":null,"source_urls":[],"occurrence_count":1,"source_occurrences":[{"occurrence_id":"95bab9c927876f1aa038563fb1dce5cf008bf02a2540c1794e98a45ac7297ade","filename":"patches-2000-1.txt","adapter":"text","source_offset":12565,"item_index":null,"heading":"January 28th, 7:00pm Emergency Patch","source_url":null,"source_url_raw":null,"published":null,"source_kind":"text","excerpt":false,"year_inferred":true}],"year_inferred":true,"sequence":1,"slug":"2000-01-28-1","id":"2000-01-28-1"},{"patch_date":"2000-01-20","effective_date":"2000-01-20","display_date":"January 20th, 7:00am","title":"January 20th, 7:00am","year":2000,"month":1,"kind":"live","era":"EverQuest Live","expansion":"Original EverQuest","expansion_code":"original-everquest","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":"pvp","label":"PvP"},{"slug":"servers","label":"Servers"},{"slug":"expansions","label":"Expansions"}],"sections":["Announcements","following changes","General Changes / Fixes","Additional Bug Fixes","Spell Changes","Levitation Changed","Quests and Items","Fletching Update","Paw","The Plane of Fear","The Plane of Hate","Monk Enhancement","Paladin/Shadowknight Enhancement","Rogue Enhancement","Wizard Enhancement","Bard Enhancement","Druid Enhancement","Feign Death and Pets","Manastone Changed"],"change_count":29,"word_count":2100,"summary":"Announcements* The Plane of Sky is now open!!!

As a reminder to our customers, the\nalternate planes of reality do not necessarily follow the same\nphysical or ethereal rules as Norrath proper. Enjoy!\n\nToday is patch day! The EverQuest servers have been patched with the\nfollowing changes:\n\n*General Changes / Fixes*\n\n- Some changes have been made to the exit of Nagafen's Lair into the\nLavastorm Mountains. This will hopefully reduce if not solve the bug\nthat causes people to fall into lava when exiting Nagafen's Lair.\nPlease let us know how this goes.\n\n- Due to feedback received from the customers concerning the density\nof fog during rainstorms, visibility has been increased.\n\n- All drops of steel weapons have been replaced with higher quality\nfine-steel weapons of the same type. This change was made to reduce\nthe amount of new currency coming into the world at the mid-to-upper\nlevels. The fine-steel weapons are in all cases superior to the steel\nweapons that were dropping, they just sell to vendors for less money.\n\n- Casting times have been implemented on several activatable items.\nThis was done to correct issues that could arise from people\nchain-casting these items.\n\n- The safe-point (the point which you return if you fall below the\nworld) in Kithicor has been moved near the entrance to Rivervale, a\nsafer part of the zone.\n\n- Corrected a bug that caused AC to be improperly displayed for higher\nlevel characters. Your AC should now reflect all of your items.\n\nAdditional Bug Fixes:\n\n- Corrected a bug in the client that could cause a crash if you were\nspammed with emotes by someone on your /ignore list.\n- Corrected a bug that allowed ships to move faster when disarmed\n- Corrected a bug that caused the Aqualung to lose its charges if\ndropped on the ground.\n- Fire Giants in Nagafen's Lair should now recover properly when stuck\nin lava. Consider yourself warned.\n- The Instill Doubt skill has been disabled on the PvP servers.\n\n*Spell Changes*\n\n- Shadow Vortex is now a \"drain\" spell.\n- Siphon Strength will now stack with strength buffs and debuffs\n- Panic the Dead cast and recast delays have been reduced. In\naddition, the spell is less resistable.\n- Angstlich's Appalling Screech had its radius increased slightly.\n- All Wizard AoE damage and stun spells have had their radius slightly\nincreased\n- Yonder will now interact better with levitate.\n- Form of the Great Wolf had its speed component increased.\n- Terrorize Animal had its casting time reduced and is less\nresistable.\n- New magician's spells have been added. Check your spell vendors.\n- Reoccurring Amnesia has been made more effective.\n- NPCs will now treat the \"Cancel Magic\" series of spells as hostile.\nPreviously, NPCs did not mind if players dispelled all of their buffs\nbefore attacking. Now they will. - The Fear and Charm series of spells\nnow properly notify the caster when they break. No, seriously, we're\ncertain this time.\n- Harmtouch now does more damage beginning at level 41.\n\n*Levitation Changed*\n\nDue to the implementation of casting times on activatable items, the\ncode that disallowed refreshing of the Levitation spell while it was\nactive is no longer necessary and has been backed out. The Levitate\nspell may now be refreshed while the spell is in use.\n\n*Quests and Items*\n\n- The Armor of Ro should be more obtainable. We will continue to\nevaluate and adjust the rarity of other class-specific armor\ncomponents to make the pieces obtainable in a reasonable amount of\ntime.\n\n- We have changed the reward of a newbie quest in the Qeynos area from\na level 49 scroll to a level 1 scroll. The issuance of a level 49\nscroll was a typo in the quest data, allowing new characters to amass\nan abnormally large amount of currency.\n\n- The stats on the reward for the Rogue Redemption quest have been\nincreased to make it better than the favorite dropped-weapon for the\nlevel range.\n\n- Ravenscale boots will now drop as frequently as other Ravenscale\nitems.\n\n- The Mask of Deception may now be equipped by the appropriate races.\n\n*Fletching Update*\n\nAll arrows created with the new Silver-Tipped Arrowhead (formerly the\nBladed Arrowhead) are now magical in nature, and may be used versus\nmagical creatures. All existing items in your possession will\nautomatically morph into the new magical items. Additionally, each\nsuccessful attempt to create magical arrows will yield 10 arrows\ninstead of the previous 5. As such, the vendor buy-back value has been\ndecreased accordingly.\n\n*Paw*\n\nThe difficulty of Paw has been decreased. We found that many of the\ngnolls in the new Paw had too many hitpoints, making the dungeon more\ndifficult than it should have been for the desired level target.\nPlease let us know how this change affects the viability of the\ndungeon.\n\n*The Plane of Fear*\n\nThe item-drop percentages in the Plane of Fear have been increased.\nThis change was supposed to have occurred in the last patch, however\nthe data was not exported. It has been tested and equipment drops are\nnow occurring at a much higher rate.\n\n*The Plane of Hate*\n\nThe item-drop percentages on roaming and fast-spawning NPCs in the\nPlane of Hate have been decreased. Previously, these NPCs used the\nsame drop-percentages as the slow-spawning NPCs, causing overall drop\npercentages to be extremely high.\n\nAlso, the inhabitants of the Plane of Hate no longer fall for\nillusions, and tend to \"Hate\" everyone.\n\n*Monk Enhancement*\n\nA monk's speed in hand-to-hand combat will now improve with level,\nbeginning in the high 20s. This will result in higher level monks\ndoing substantially more damage in a given time-frame.\n\nThough this change does increase the power of the average monk, it\nshould be stressed that the monk is now even more in need of true tank\nclasses who have the ability to taunt upset creatures off them. We\nwant to stress that the \"taunt factor\" of a monks fist has NOT been\nincreased, though it may appear so due to your increased damage.\n\n*Paladin/Shadowknight Enhancement*\n\nPaladins and Shadowknights now have a higher hitpoints and higher\nskill caps on Bash and Taunt.\n\nThe additional hitpoints will be noticeable for Paladins and SKs over\nlevel 25. This was done because the Paladins, SKs, and Rangers had the\nsame HP base, which upon further consideration is not compatible with\nour vision of those classes' roles. This change will basically put\nPaladin and SK HPs midway (in terms of Hit Points) between rangers and\nwarriors of the same race.\n\nThe taunt skill was increased because SKs, and in particular, Paladins\nhad difficulty taunting opponents off of Rangers, Monks, Rogues, and\nWarriors due to their lower damage output. Though the Paladin and SK\nwill never equal the warrior in their ability to taunt, this change in\naddition to some of the taunting spells should help them become more\neffective tanks.\n\nBash was increased because Paladins typically aren't switching to\ntwo-handed weapons, choosing instead to continue using the bash skill.\nMost warriors, being ogres, trolls, or barbarians for the most part,\ndo not worry about bash and instead opt for slam, which uses the same\nskill. Paladins are typically the only characters who use a shield\nthroughout their lives.\n\n*Rogue Enhancement*\n\nWhenever a rogue is invisible, whether by spell, potion, or skill,\nthey are now also invisible to undead.\n\nThis change was made to add a definite class-advantage to the rogue,\nallowing them to do something that no other class could do. It is the\nfirst step in a multi-step process to improve the rogue class.\n\n*Wizard Enhancement*\n\nLevel 35 or above wizards will find that their spells (Magic, Cold, or\nFire) much less likely to be resisted. This effect stacks with the\nStaff of Temperate Flux and enchanter, shaman, and magician resistance\ndebuffs.\n\nThis change was made to increase the effectiveness of wizards at about\nthe level that all spell-casting classes start seeing their resistance\nrates go up. Wizards specialize in direct magical damage. It makes\nsense that they should be better at causing that damage than the other\nclasses.\n\n*Bard Enhancement*\n\nBards will now receive the Meditate skill at 10th level. This skill\nwill be granted automatically the first time a bard zones after\nreaching 10th level, and cannot be trained further. It will have the\neffect of decreasing the amount of time that it takes a Bard to\nmemorize their songs. Previously, it would take 50th level bards\nupwards of 2 minutes to memorize a song. Now it is much faster.\n\n*Druid Enhancement*\n\nThe skill cap on a Druid's tracking skill has been increased. This\nchange was implemented based upon general public opinion that the\nformer cap was far too low for the skill to be even marginally viable.\n\n\n*Feign Death and Pets*\n\nAfter a serious discussion regarding the Necromancer's Feign Death\ntactic, as well as reviewing public opinion on the matter, we have\nimplemented a change. As we would like everyone to understand why we\nfeel this change was necessary, here is a summary of the issue:\n\nProblem: Feign death allows you to become an invalid target in all\ncircumstances, providing offensive tactics that are abusive. For this\nability to remain balanced, the pet should follow the same rules as\ninvisibility. Offensive tactics used by other classes involve the\ncreature getting a saving throw verses the effect. Since creatures do\nNOT get a direct save verses feign death (as you cast it on yourself),\nand since you can retry the combat once you have feigned death, there\nis very little risk to necromancer himself. As this tactic involves\ncharming an NPC and turning it against another NPC, which could be\npart of the same spawn, it allows for Necromancers to solo MUCH bigger\nrooms than any other class could. This situation is well beyond what\nwould preserve game balance for any other class (soloing the\nBloodthirsty Ghoul room and Ghoul Lord room, for example).\n\nExample: While there are many examples of how the Necromancer Feign\nDeath tactic is abusive, one of the most egregious occurs in the Ghoul\nLord room of Lower Guk. The room consists of 2 Bok Ghoul Guards and\nthe Ghoul Lord himself. Using the current system, a level 50 Necro can\neasily solo the room at virtually no risk to himself. The Necro can\nget into the room quite easily with Invis To Undead. To clear the room\nhe uses Screaming Terror on one Bok and Charms the other. When the\nGhoul Lord rushes him, he feigns. The Lord then turns on the charmed\nBok and kills it, taking considerable damage during the fight. The\nNecromancer waits until the Ghoul Lord returns to its spawn point.\nWhen the necromancer gets back up, he is in no danger of being\nattacked due to the way Feign Death works now. He then charms the 2nd\nBok and Feigns again. The fight goes on and the 2nd Bok is killed.\nWhen the Necromancer gets back up he has a VERY wounded Ghoul Lord AND\nnearly full mana. The Lord is now an easy kill, and the Necro collects\nhis special items.\n\nSolution: Ideally, Feign Death should work like Invisibility, where\nsummoned pets suicide and the charmed ones break Charm. We do not\nwant, however, to adversely affect lower level Necromancers to such a\nlarge degree. What we do recognize is the need to prevent higher level\nNecro's from exploiting key spawn points. Hence, when you Feign Death,\nany charmed NPC will immediately break Charm. However, summoned NPCs\n(pets) will NOT be affected. While this still allows the use of the\nFeign Death tactic with your summoned pet, it does not imbalance the\ngame and many dungeon spawns to the degree that charming an NPC does.\n\n*Manastone Changed*\n\nThe players have raised many concerns about the power of the\nManastone, which no longer drops. They cite that people without a\nManastone are not as welcome in expeditions to the outer planes and\nother areas as people with them. Since dropping additional Manastones\nvia quest or removing them from the existing populace is not\ndesirable, we've decided to make it so that the Manastone will no\nlonger function in the alternate planes. Furthermore, it will not\nfunction in any of the zones included with the Kunark Expansion.\n\nWe apologize to those adversely affected by this change. Our general\ngoal is to avoid making changes to items in peoples' possession,\nhowever we felt this change was, all things considered, warranted and\nfor the benefit of the game as a whole.\n\n- The EverQuest Team","content_hash":"f5dca1b1d54ad7becd2cc387d5ebc91cf6d66e040ddb4b19ae5d61e79cb3b1d1","source_files":["patches-2000-1.txt"],"source_titles":["January 20th, 7:00am"],"source_url":null,"source_urls":[],"occurrence_count":1,"source_occurrences":[{"occurrence_id":"82cbff67cb659737150b4c1b14be5cd4e01caefc70fdd17dc6199217ab16253c","filename":"patches-2000-1.txt","adapter":"text","source_offset":91,"item_index":null,"heading":"January 20th, 7:00am","source_url":null,"source_url_raw":null,"published":null,"source_kind":"text","excerpt":false,"year_inferred":true}],"year_inferred":true,"sequence":1,"slug":"2000-01-20-1","id":"2000-01-20-1"},{"patch_date":"1999-12-21","effective_date":"1999-12-21","display_date":"December 21, 1999","title":"December 21, 1999","year":1999,"month":12,"kind":"live","era":"EverQuest Live","expansion":"Original EverQuest","expansion_code":"original-everquest","categories":[{"slug":"spells-aa","label":"Spells & AA"},{"slug":"pvp","label":"PvP"},{"slug":"servers","label":"Servers"}],"sections":[],"change_count":2,"word_count":75,"summary":"After a week of thorough testing, the Summon Corpse spell is now functioning properly (we promise!), and available on all servers.

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.

As a result, Tallon Zek will remain down until we can get an additional server (which will take at MINIMUM one week).

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. It is a Level 19 spell, and available in all Shaman starting cities. This spell will only be castable in dungeons. It will not leave an icon on your screen - Shrink will last until you zone.\n\n- A Quest for Ice Comet has been added.\n\n- A Quest to help casters with research has been added. Good aligned races should check North Karana, while those with a more malign disposition should check South Ro.\n\n- The EverQuest Team","content_hash":"61653c8fa04d994a3737e44f3332a43c28062550b0740d1d812774a374fabde8","source_files":["patches-1999.txt"],"source_titles":["July 27, 1999"],"source_url":null,"source_urls":[],"occurrence_count":1,"source_occurrences":[{"occurrence_id":"8f439d488101ecb5c88845e86d0bb25149d181713bc8bc7eeeca6822912fa2f3","filename":"patches-1999.txt","adapter":"text","source_offset":30478,"item_index":null,"heading":"July 27, 1999","source_url":null,"source_url_raw":null,"published":null,"source_kind":"text","excerpt":false,"year_inferred":false}],"year_inferred":false,"sequence":1,"slug":"1999-07-27-1","id":"1999-07-27-1"},{"patch_date":"1999-07-22","effective_date":"1999-07-22","display_date":"July 22nd, 1999","title":"July 22nd, 1999","year":1999,"month":7,"kind":"live","era":"EverQuest Live","expansion":"Original EverQuest","expansion_code":"original-everquest","categories":[{"slug":"servers","label":"Servers"}],"sections":[],"change_count":1,"word_count":61,"summary":"We have just activated the Guild submission forms in the EverQuest login server.

However, we were able to make a few various changes to the Test server, some of which will be propagated to the live servers on Monday. The features and bug fixes are listed below.\n- Currently, when a character dies, they return with 25% of their Mana and Health, in addition, they have a massive hit to their stats. - This will NOT remain true, and we will be removing it next week.\n\n- Nagafen's Lair and Permafrost have been revamped with new treasure, items, etc. In addition, changes have been made to NPC spawning to the them.\n\n- A number of fixes were made to Research.\n\nThe following fixes have been made to spells.\n\nVampiric Curse / Bond of Death (formerly Circle of Death) now work with their new effects\n\nFufil's Curtailing Chant (BARD) now works on monsters\n\nMagician pet attack spells have been slightly increased.\n\nIncapacitate now works for Enchanters (lvl 44 spell)\n\nWizard \"Casting Times\" for damage spells have been slightly reduced\n\nNecromancer poison spells have had their damage doubled and their duration cut in half. They will do EXACTLY the same amount of damage, but in half the pervious amount of time.\n\nNecromancer and Shaman disease spells have had their duration reduced. Their damage has been upped to compensate.\n\nHungry Earth (Necromancer) is now researchable - check your book\n\nResearch for Thunderclap (Wizard) is now correct - check your book\n\nResearch for Fire Spiral of Al'Kabor (Wizard) is now correct - check your book\n\nThe Magician Burnout series has been made a bit better.\n\nThe reagent for Burnout III has been removed (Magician) Tuyen's Songs (Bard) have had their damage increased.\n\nNew Bard Songs have been added to vendors.\n\nNew Wizard Spell \"Bonds of Force\" on Wizard vendors.\n\nMana Sieve (Enchanter) has been changed.

Listed below are the newly implemented features and bug fixes which will be updated.\n\n\nGeneral Changes\n\n- Scrolls are no longer lore items - this means that you can have more than one.\n- Research components were made more accessible on higher level mobs\n- Several items will now appear as \"Pending Lore\" and will become \"Lore\" in a subsequent update. The servers will only allow ONE 'Lore' item in a character's inventory (that includes the bank) - please make note of any items you own that are 'Pending Lore' - it is YOUR responsibility to have those items sold or traded by the time (approximately one week) we change them to 'Lore.' We will not be responsible for items lost when this change is made.\n\nZone Enhancements\n\n- Additional treasure has been added to Permafrost Keep, and some of the items already there have been enhanced - now is the time to plan that Permafrost excursion!\n- The bandits of West Karana are increasing their presence! You'll find more bandit camps there, as well as bandits traveling between those camps and elsewhere.\n- The spawn rates in many outdoor areas has been increased - this should make it easier to find things to kill.\n\nBug fixes and newly implemented features\n\n- Charmed and Feared characters can no longer use skills.\n- The appropriate text message is given while attempting to attack while charmed.\n- 'Procing' (items that cast spells) weapons no longer break Bard's singing.\n- Players vision will now return to normal if killed while drunk.\n- Tree Form spells will change the caster into a human male in a zone without trees.\n- Red and Blue armor will now appear the proper color for AMD users.\n- While accessing the /bug screen, the in-game chat bar will no longer remain active.\n- If the inventory window is up and the spell book is open, the user will not remove items from their inventory when clicking on the spell book.\n- A number of quests were fixed as well as implemented.\n- A Bad language filter has been implemented. Typing \"/filter\" will toggle it on and off.\n- Pets that have been commanded to sit will no longer to appear to stand up while they are supposed to be seated.\n- While in the full screen view, users may now toggle the translucent overlay backgrounds on and off by pressing the \"~\" key.\n- Players may now loot corpses in shallow water or lava by typing \"/loot\" while the corpse is targeted.\n- We have implemented an Auto-follow command. To auto-follow another player, target the character, then type \"/follow\". You must be grouped with the character in order to successfully carry out the command.\n- A Role Playing switched has been added so that players may identify other characters who wish to make known they are Role Playing. To activate the Role Playing switch, target your character and type \"/roleplay\", if the character is +PvP, the name tag above their head will appear as a darker shade of Red, whereas a non-PvP players name will appear purple.\n- If the user drops a backpack containing spells on the ground, the spells will no longer disappear.\n- Medicine Bags, when dropped on the ground, will no longer vanish.\n- The proper text is given when a trade window is canceled between players.\n- Arrows will now be drawn from the quiver is the ammo slot is empty.\n\nSpell Changes\n\n- The Bard spell \"Denon's Desperate Dirge\" will now require the use of Mana.\n- No spell or effect that accelerates the process of mana regeneration will work on a Bard.\n- '/pet report health' will now have your pet message you with a health report.\n- Lightning Blast (Druid) has been modified to its intended form of finishing the Invoke Lightning series.\n- When you fizzle, you will lose a less mana then before. The fizzle rate has NOT changed.\n- There is now a CAP on the amount of mana lost from any single fizzle.\n- Spell Scrolls are no longer lore items. This means you can hold more than one.\n- Tuyen's Songs now have range.\n- Eye of Zomm will no longer work in conjunction with pets - you can now have one or the other. Sorry.\n- Wave of Enfeeblement (now Vampiric Curse) and Circle of Death (both Necromancer) will not work for the next week or so while we make a fix on them.\n\nTrade Skill Changes\n\nJewel Craft - All of the jewelry has had increased magical properties (pre-existing jewelry items remain unchanged).\nFletching - When fletching arrows, they will be produced in sets of 5, instead of 1.\nBaking, Blacksmithing, Brewing, and Pottery have been changed to either return items on failure and be able to produce multiple items and quantities on success.\nExample:\nBaking muffins, success means the player will receive three muffins and retaining the muffin tin, however, when unsuccessful, the player will still get the muffin tin back and lose all other components. Another example would be if a player wishes to sharpen a rusty short sword. If the player succeeds, they will receive a tarnished short sword, however, failure will result in retaining the rusty weapon but losing the sharpening stone.\n\n\n- The EverQuest Team","content_hash":"e8d397bb881f6520fb74f383e2b5f3b5de8da4ddb0164c99a958a39e4409ed5e","source_files":["patches-1999.txt"],"source_titles":["June 8th, 1999"],"source_url":null,"source_urls":[],"occurrence_count":1,"source_occurrences":[{"occurrence_id":"8ea4e0c31396e22010e5a35b3f95d390cc719aff6640cece095d766440f0e45a","filename":"patches-1999.txt","adapter":"text","source_offset":18724,"item_index":null,"heading":"June 8th, 1999","source_url":null,"source_url_raw":null,"published":null,"source_kind":"text","excerpt":false,"year_inferred":false}],"year_inferred":false,"sequence":1,"slug":"1999-06-08-1","id":"1999-06-08-1"},{"patch_date":"1999-05-25","effective_date":"1999-05-25","display_date":"May 25th, 1999","title":"May 25th, 1999","year":1999,"month":5,"kind":"live","era":"EverQuest Live","expansion":"Original EverQuest","expansion_code":"original-everquest","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":"servers","label":"Servers"},{"slug":"audio-graphics","label":"Audio & Graphics"}],"sections":[],"change_count":28,"word_count":388,"summary":"The servers will be coming down as scheduled tonight at Midnight PDT.

We have been, and will continue to monitor the load on the new hardware to assure that the packet-loss problems will no longer occur on our end. During the router upgrade we transported the Karana server farm to the AT&T CerfNet facility to further reduce the load on our router. Also, the new \"Rodcet Nife\" server was just brought up to accommodate the additional users that have joined over the past few weeks.\n\nAfter thoroughly testing changes made only for Rallos Zek (PK server), we have activated the new code for the PK server ONLY. The changes include the following;\n\n1) Pets will no longer kill themselves if their master has invisibility cast on them.\n2) Pets will no longer attack other players while they are in guard mode if their master goes link-dead.\n3) Pets will now attack opposing combatants while their master is dueling.\n4) NPCs will no longer respond to invisible PCs.\n\nOther fixes and changes include:\n\n1) The corpse class tag will not be listed as \"Unknown\".\n2) Players will be given text messages for items that they cannot obtain while looting a corpse, instead of the item disappearing.\n3) A number of quests and combat related exploits were fixed.\n4) Characters are no longer able to use the disarm command while using feign death.\n\nAt Midnight, on Wednesday the 28th, the servers will be brought down for an update.\n\n- The EverQuest Team","content_hash":"f8c4d98b492bbf56d8da921657233213c92bb971bf28911fd7ab2d8d2a91e637","source_files":["patches-1999.txt"],"source_titles":["April 28th, 1999"],"source_url":null,"source_urls":[],"occurrence_count":1,"source_occurrences":[{"occurrence_id":"9b55b9b52dcfda964534507e603cce5ee6375db0b8a4b69a860378b165af3b19","filename":"patches-1999.txt","adapter":"text","source_offset":8087,"item_index":null,"heading":"April 28th, 1999","source_url":null,"source_url_raw":null,"published":null,"source_kind":"text","excerpt":false,"year_inferred":false}],"year_inferred":false,"sequence":1,"slug":"1999-04-28-1","id":"1999-04-28-1"},{"patch_date":"1999-04-27","effective_date":"1999-04-27","display_date":"April 27, 1999","title":"April 27, 1999","year":1999,"month":4,"kind":"live","era":"EverQuest Live","expansion":"Original EverQuest","expansion_code":"original-everquest","categories":[{"slug":"servers","label":"Servers"}],"sections":[],"change_count":4,"word_count":385,"summary":"Hello All, I waited until it was 7:30pm pst tonight to write this update.
