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. Be warned that the Kerrans still do not like everyone.\n\n*Paw*\nPaw has received another minor difficulty adjustment. In addition, item \ndrop percentages have been increased.\n\n*The Plane of Hate*\nThe Plane of Hate has received an item-drop/spawn-time revamp. Take \ncare in your exploration of this zone as many things have changed.\n\n- The EverQuest Team","content_hash":"78146cc24c48a44ede6c5b03a2830bb8a94705d32f8103c319bac607248f924c","source_files":["patches-2000-1.txt","patches_1999-2008_combined.md","patches_1999-2010_combined.txt"],"source_titles":["April 10, 2000"],"source_url":null,"source_urls":[],"occurrence_count":3,"source_occurrences":[{"occurrence_id":"41326efa35b7cf9b58f738677b19ea4d7e0a60d51958d3066043dcda9b556071","filename":"patches_1999-2008_combined.md","adapter":"markdown","source_offset":30824,"item_index":null,"heading":"April 10, 2000","source_url":null,"source_url_raw":null,"published":null,"source_kind":"markdown","excerpt":false,"year_inferred":false},{"occurrence_id":"e07a31bcfdddd9bcbff1d0fcaae366f6603727995763b14238d1ffb314a78278","filename":"patches_1999-2010_combined.txt","adapter":"text","source_offset":32173,"item_index":null,"heading":"April 10, 2000","source_url":null,"source_url_raw":null,"published":null,"source_kind":"text","excerpt":false,"year_inferred":false},{"occurrence_id":"eebef797b2c8ad0e7908b4b84c40fb3f1d152a43823c02faf1d495017a40ee89","filename":"patches-2000-1.txt","adapter":"text","source_offset":27210,"item_index":null,"heading":"April 10, 2000","source_url":null,"source_url_raw":null,"published":null,"source_kind":"text","excerpt":false,"year_inferred":false}],"year_inferred":false,"sequence":1,"slug":"2000-04-10-1","id":"2000-04-10-1"},{"patch_date":"2000-03-29","effective_date":"2000-03-29","display_date":"March 29, 2000","title":"March 29, 2000","year":2000,"month":3,"kind":"live","era":"EverQuest Live","expansion":"Original EverQuest","expansion_code":"original-everquest","categories":[{"slug":"classes","label":"Classes"},{"slug":"spells-aa","label":"Spells & AA"},{"slug":"items","label":"Items"},{"slug":"pvp","label":"PvP"},{"slug":"servers","label":"Servers"}],"sections":[],"change_count":1,"word_count":112,"summary":"This morning's update consisted primarily of server-side changes to improve performance of the game engine in general.

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.

It has been in \nplace for some time on Rallos Zek and works very well there.\n\n*The Plane of Sky*\n\nAll spells that grant levitation will no longer function in the Plane \nof Sky. This affects spells cast by Wizards, Enchanters, Shamans, \nDruids, Necromancers, and Bards.

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!!!

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"}]}
