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. Instead, when you beat an \nencounter there, you will gain a timer for that specific event. Then, \nwhen you come back to the zone, if that timer hasn’t expired yet that \nparticular event won’t be up, but other events in the zone will be if \nit has been long enough since the last time they were defeated. \n- Loot in Tacvi has been given a thorough audit. Many changes were made \nincluding changes to the statistics of the items, changing item names, \nchanging where the items drop, and over a dozen new items were added to \nthe zone. \n- The Tacvi zone timer was increased from 6 hours to 12 hours. \n\nMisc. \n_____________________ \n- Diamond Dust will now drop more frequently in permafrost and can now \nalso be found in SolusekB * \n- Names will now scale with character they’re associated with. So a \ngiant will have a much larger name than a Halfling will while retaining \nits much smaller brain. \n- Names for larger characters will be visible from a greater distance \nthan the names for smaller characters are. They will also scale up \nslightly as you increase your distance from a character, making them \nmore readable from a greater distance. \n- Tinting should now work properly again on Robes, let the Fluorescent \nPink tinting begin! \n- We have added Tooltips for your status bars.* \n- We have made some changes to the fonts EQ uses so that they are more \nclear and visible. \n- Pets will no longer attacks NPCs after their owner has COH'd \n- The Fiery Defenders particles should no longer blink \n- If your Minor Illusion fails, you will be able to use another \nillusion on yourself without zoning. \n- Instant cast combat abilities can once again be used when you have a \ndiscipline up. \n- Augments now fit into multiple slot types. \n- Zoning pets will now save their taunt toggle settings. \n- Spell damage done to yourself will no longer display to others. \n- Pets will no longer poof when you are Call of Hero'd. \n- Weapon Augments will now proc properly. \n\n*denotes a community requested change","content_hash":"006cacfe19b9d322ee4683fbda82c4816affcbb2539eb22b35a685f553098ee6","source_files":["patches-2004-2.txt","patches_1999-2010_combined.txt"],"source_titles":["August 11, 2004"],"source_url":null,"source_urls":[],"occurrence_count":2,"source_occurrences":[{"occurrence_id":"b299338bdfbb109113ce18285df80853719bb2c61f721d9a22746dfa4155388b","filename":"patches_1999-2010_combined.txt","adapter":"text","source_offset":634890,"item_index":null,"heading":"August 11, 2004","source_url":null,"source_url_raw":null,"published":null,"source_kind":"text","excerpt":false,"year_inferred":false},{"occurrence_id":"f33b579ee3027ebbdf8ca01769b746ee3dab2e96d9d502d48b79227fa919aec5","filename":"patches-2004-2.txt","adapter":"text","source_offset":7056,"item_index":null,"heading":"August 11, 2004","source_url":null,"source_url_raw":null,"published":null,"source_kind":"text","excerpt":false,"year_inferred":false}],"year_inferred":false,"sequence":1,"slug":"2004-08-11-1","id":"2004-08-11-1"},{"patch_date":"2004-07-15","effective_date":"2004-07-15","display_date":"July 15, 2004","title":"July 15, 2004","year":2004,"month":7,"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":"ui","label":"UI"},{"slug":"audio-graphics","label":"Audio & Graphics"}],"sections":["following Robe Graphic items for Tunic Graphic items"],"change_count":17,"word_count":219,"summary":"Issues for shaman and druids with the Healing Adept AA have been corrected.

Enjoy the new challenge. \nA new Adventure Zone appears on Stormhammer. \nYou can now remove augments without losing them. \n\nVeeshan's Peak! \nWith this revamp we have Updated the level and NPC list for the zone: \nPlease note that this zone is now an elemental level zone! The entry \nquest to Veeshan’’s Peak has been changed. The original key quest has \nnot been modified. However, the new entry quest uses the old key and \noffers an alternate quest to do instead of the original key quest. \n\n- Items in the zone are now of elemental planes quality. \n- Faction now matters: Dragons in Veeshan’s Peak will now speak to \nplayers if you have the correct faction and can understand them. \n- New quests and lore: The dragons in Veeshan’s Peak will now give \nplayers the option to acquire items through questing for them. \n- The zone is now an exp zone as well: Hunting in the areas before the \ndragons yields experience and loot. \n\nNew Adventure Zone for Stormhammer \nStormhammer gains a new adventure zone. This is a 2 group adventure \nzone for characters of level 65. \n\nCan you help the Eldritch Collective find and rescue Professor Bartleby \nBeckelbracker? Search the Desert of Ro for the whereabouts of Bartleby \nand his assistant Bomo and try to save them from the steel clutches of \ntheir enemies. \n\n\nAugment Removal * \n- You can now purchase special \"distillers\" that will remove \naugmentations without destroying them. These distillers are sold by a \nmerchant in Butcherblock. The item inspect window for an augmentation \nwill tell you which distiller is required to remove it. \n- The existing solvents can still be used to destroy an augmentation if \nyou don't want to keep it. You no longer need a different solvent for \neach augmentation slot. The interface will allow you to select which \naugmentation you wish to delete. \n- For those with custom UI's, you will need to update your \nEQ_Container.xml file in order to use the new augment window. \n\nPets * \n- Zoning pets are in. Persistent pet data includes: Items, Spell \nEffects, hit points, mana, name, height, and mana cost to summon them. \nAll PC summoned pets should zone with you in all instances except for \nwhen you die. Pets will also follow the same rules as no rent items if \nyou log with a pet. \n- Pets can be shrunk again. Please wash them in only Cold water to \nprevent inadvertently reducing their size. \n\nTribute Changes * \n- Some items have had their favor value lowered. \n- Players will now \"Pre-pay\" for tribute benefits. When benefits are \nactivated, the player will immediately be charged for those benefits \nfrom their Favor pool. After that, the player will be charged every 10 \nminutes for the next 10 minutes of benefit. If benefits are deactivated \nbefore the timer is depleted, no refund is given for the time \nremaining. \n- Players now have the ability to activate/deactivate the tribute \nbenefits they've selected (as a whole) whenever they like using a \nbutton on the Tribute Benefit Window. However, every time the player \nactivates his benefits, he will be \"Pre-pay\" (see above). The ability \nto change selected benefits (downgrade) away from the Tribute Master \nhas been removed. \n- When visiting a Tribute Master, the player's benefits will \ndeactivate. Players may re-organize their selected benefit load, but \nwill not be able to \"preview\" the benefits (seeing the effect on their \ncharacter when the benefit is selected). Benefit descriptions should \ngive the player a good indication of what the benefit will do when \nactivated. \n- The EQ Label that shows the Tribute Benefit Timer will now show green \nwhen benefits are active and gray when they are not. \n\nItem Changes \n- Manastones will no longer work in Forgotten Halls. It was not \nintended for the item to be used there and some naughty folks were \ntaking advantage of the zone. \n- Malcohm Thimbleton, in the Plane of Knowledge will now swap out some \nRobe Graphic items for Tunic Graphics. * \n- The Staff of Revealed Secrets now has a 2hb weapon model instead of \nthe little stick it had before. Enjoy your bigger stick. \n\nUI Changes \n- It is now possible to display your mana as a numeric value on your \ninventory screen. * \n- By mousing over your buff icons, you will now be able to see the \nbuffs remaining duration. * \n\nBerserkers \n- Berserkers now have innate crits beginning at level 12. \n- Tainted Axe of Hatred now comes in stacks of 20. \n\nAdditional Notes \n- You now have the ability to sell back LDoN items and augments to the \nadventure merchants for a percentage of their original cost. * \n- We have increased the number of NPC debuff slots from 30 to 50. \nNecromancers rejoice. * \n- The Doppleganger AA's re-use timer has been reduced to 30 minutes. * \n- Sprint and Planeswalk have had their movement rate increased. * \n- Beware! Many named mobs in Gates will now summon. \n- The Hide all traders option, for the Bazaar, will no longer need to \nbe reset each time you enter the zone. * \n- /stopspellcast will no longer give spells recast delays. \n- Leadership: Group/Raid mark npc should now update for people that are \nadded to the group or raid. \n- Main assist will no longer clear if the main assist zones. \n- Bards should once again play the stringed instrument animation when \nplaying a stringed instrument song. \n- Hynid fleshrippers, tide feasters, and shore stonemites in Natimbi no \nlonger hit so hard.","content_hash":"7d9eefee19b4448db13bfc95b794d639f8e9b901e8025ec4548be594b1dd909c","source_files":["patches-2004-2.txt","patches_1999-2010_combined.txt"],"source_titles":["July 14, 2004"],"source_url":null,"source_urls":[],"occurrence_count":2,"source_occurrences":[{"occurrence_id":"93d12edbe1ef0cdc1650abfa53f791bc58df5f0b4ac33877ed1b73de4bdf8dc0","filename":"patches_1999-2010_combined.txt","adapter":"text","source_offset":627936,"item_index":null,"heading":"July 14, 2004","source_url":null,"source_url_raw":null,"published":null,"source_kind":"text","excerpt":false,"year_inferred":false},{"occurrence_id":"79c92c3f8f8115a69fef04e4e77ef136209a11e657cfccc93dab83b45c63ab07","filename":"patches-2004-2.txt","adapter":"text","source_offset":102,"item_index":null,"heading":"July 14, 2004","source_url":null,"source_url_raw":null,"published":null,"source_kind":"text","excerpt":false,"year_inferred":false}],"year_inferred":false,"sequence":1,"slug":"2004-07-14-1","id":"2004-07-14-1"},{"patch_date":"2004-06-30","effective_date":"2004-06-30","display_date":"June 30, 2004","title":"June 30, 2004","year":2004,"month":6,"kind":"live","era":"EverQuest Live","expansion":"Gates of Discord","expansion_code":"gates-of-discord","categories":[{"slug":"quests-events","label":"Quests & Events"},{"slug":"expansions","label":"Expansions"}],"sections":[],"change_count":0,"word_count":164,"summary":"Headlines Download EQ Trilogy and play for 30 days free!

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

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":"2004-02-18","effective_date":"2004-02-18","display_date":"February 18, 2004","title":"February 18, 2004","year":2004,"month":2,"kind":"live","era":"EverQuest Live","expansion":"Gates of Discord","expansion_code":"gates-of-discord","categories":[{"slug":"bug-fixes","label":"Bug Fixes"},{"slug":"classes","label":"Classes"},{"slug":"spells-aa","label":"Spells & AA"},{"slug":"zones-npcs","label":"Zones & NPCs"}],"sections":[],"change_count":0,"word_count":73,"summary":"We found a bit of code that was, occasionally, causing random zone crashes and corrected it.

If a player has accumulated more than 200,000 favor at the time of this change, the character will \nretain its favor, but will not be able to add to it until it falls below 200,000.\n\n- Favor Value Adjustments to Items: Some items have had their favor value adjusted to be more appropriate. For \nthis update, this will not affect the favor amount that a player has gained by handing in items that have had \ntheir favor values adjusted.\n\nFor next week's update, we will be adjusting each character's favor amounts based on any items that were handed in \nto Tribute Masters that have had their favor values adjusted.\n\nWe hope you continue to enjoy the benefits of the Tribute system and Gates of Discord.\n\nIn other words: Play, raid and be merry, for tomorrow we nerf.","content_hash":"57a4be7649fcb6fb0407e63e2b7662d203ab3bd5c9271898c11c7fd02f5cb3b5","source_files":["patches-2004-1.txt","patches_1999-2008_combined.md","patches_1999-2010_combined.txt"],"source_titles":["February 12, 2004"],"source_url":null,"source_urls":[],"occurrence_count":3,"source_occurrences":[{"occurrence_id":"253e488d239a3c46d48d33c7084769020734577840e195929774c9d7161c4af1","filename":"patches_1999-2008_combined.md","adapter":"markdown","source_offset":575158,"item_index":null,"heading":"February 12, 2004","source_url":null,"source_url_raw":null,"published":null,"source_kind":"markdown","excerpt":false,"year_inferred":false},{"occurrence_id":"4ed8761feb4ee0fb2c4a74658729e8197b3187a8b82a18f95a2fc77956d053e0","filename":"patches_1999-2010_combined.txt","adapter":"text","source_offset":592283,"item_index":null,"heading":"February 12, 2004","source_url":null,"source_url_raw":null,"published":null,"source_kind":"text","excerpt":false,"year_inferred":false},{"occurrence_id":"073acfa54317290d1c2ed703de80963694c38ead99e5276b1e06be8ff18b90a4","filename":"patches-2004-1.txt","adapter":"text","source_offset":9232,"item_index":null,"heading":"February 12, 2004","source_url":null,"source_url_raw":null,"published":null,"source_kind":"text","excerpt":false,"year_inferred":false}],"year_inferred":false,"sequence":1,"slug":"2004-02-12-1","id":"2004-02-12-1"},{"patch_date":"2004-02-11","effective_date":"2004-02-11","display_date":"February 11, 2004","title":"February 11, 2004","year":2004,"month":2,"kind":"live","era":"EverQuest Live","expansion":"Gates of Discord","expansion_code":"gates-of-discord","categories":[{"slug":"bug-fixes","label":"Bug Fixes"},{"slug":"zones-npcs","label":"Zones & NPCs"}],"sections":[],"change_count":0,"word_count":30,"summary":"-Corrected an issue with Qinimi that would not allow characters lower than 60th level to enter the zone. -Addendum to 2/10/2004: No change was made to the Chaotic Stab ability.","content":"-Corrected an issue with Qinimi that would not allow characters lower than 60th level to enter the zone. \n\n-Addendum to 2/10/2004: No change was made to the Chaotic Stab ability.","content_hash":"3405b2fb2d9f7dced117eea13679b4ac614ba4041e9a51bf2b6c24a9fdd71f83","source_files":["patches-2004-1.txt","patches_1999-2008_combined.md","patches_1999-2010_combined.txt"],"source_titles":["February 11, 2004"],"source_url":null,"source_urls":[],"occurrence_count":3,"source_occurrences":[{"occurrence_id":"aba43d12d511c751d9c577838c4385aaf2f8c25b14a49a861d0a4652fc2088ad","filename":"patches_1999-2008_combined.md","adapter":"markdown","source_offset":574891,"item_index":null,"heading":"February 11, 2004","source_url":null,"source_url_raw":null,"published":null,"source_kind":"markdown","excerpt":false,"year_inferred":false},{"occurrence_id":"9f64017e660fb3bccf43cf339ea1ef23df86e74a1e6963c3bd8141d2203c38c1","filename":"patches_1999-2010_combined.txt","adapter":"text","source_offset":591950,"item_index":null,"heading":"February 11, 2004","source_url":null,"source_url_raw":null,"published":null,"source_kind":"text","excerpt":false,"year_inferred":false},{"occurrence_id":"0d98554e9266eac031c21f8034cba54f287782974d30d6915ac8a4c798b92838","filename":"patches-2004-1.txt","adapter":"text","source_offset":8899,"item_index":null,"heading":"February 11, 2004","source_url":null,"source_url_raw":null,"published":null,"source_kind":"text","excerpt":false,"year_inferred":false}],"year_inferred":false,"sequence":1,"slug":"2004-02-11-1","id":"2004-02-11-1"},{"patch_date":"2004-02-10","effective_date":"2004-02-10","display_date":"February 10, 2004","title":"February 10, 2004","year":2004,"month":2,"kind":"live","era":"EverQuest Live","expansion":"Gates of Discord","expansion_code":"gates-of-discord","categories":[{"slug":"bug-fixes","label":"Bug Fixes"},{"slug":"classes","label":"Classes"},{"slug":"spells-aa","label":"Spells & AA"},{"slug":"items","label":"Items"},{"slug":"zones-npcs","label":"Zones & NPCs"},{"slug":"quests-events","label":"Quests & Events"},{"slug":"tradeskills","label":"Tradeskills"},{"slug":"ui","label":"UI"},{"slug":"audio-graphics","label":"Audio & Graphics"},{"slug":"expansions","label":"Expansions"}],"sections":["Highlights for today's update","Play King's Court in Shadowhaven!"],"change_count":18,"word_count":585,"summary":"Greetings Norrath, Highlights for today's update: EverQuest: Gates of Discord goes live!
