It now properly mentions that it grants access to a scarecrow mercenary rather than the title \"the Haunted.\"  It will now grant access to the new title \"the Gravedigger.\"  This title is retroactive - if you have already used your Writ, you will now have access to your Gravedigger title.\n- All UI engine changes required by the expansion are now live.  Some patching of UIs may be required.   Most of the popular UIs should already be updated - check your favorite UI site.\n\n*** Items ***\n\n- AC and Attack values on food and drink will now be properly added to your character.\n- Changed the way the Vibrating Gauntlets of Infuse and Vibrating Hammer of Infuse function in order to avoid the linkdeath issues that were possible before.  If you transmute them there will be a slight delay before you can transmute them again.\n- The bard wind instrument focus on Icy Greaves has been increased to match the focus on other items in that armor set.\n- Corrected a polarity issue with the Countersprung Enhancificator.  It should now behave as intended when it comes in contact with water.\n\n*** Quests & Events ***\n\n- Corrected the description on The Frightening Writ.  It now properly mentions that it grants access to a scarecrow mercenary rather than the title \"the Haunted.\"  It will now grant access to the new title \"the Gravedigger.\"  This title is retroactive - if you have already used your Writ, you will now have access to your Gravedigger title.\n- Mercenaries will no longer count towards the minimum player requirements for missions they can not enter.\n- The Broodmother in Bloodmoon Keep is no longer rootable.\n\n\n*** Spells ***\n\n- Pets are no longer removed if you've been logged out for more than 30 minutes.\n\n\n*** NPC ***\n\n- Fixed a problem preventing NPCs from summoning their pets.\n\n\n*** AA ***\n\n- The chance for Mortal Coil to proc the blocking Mortal Residue has been reduced from 100% to 5%. In addition, the duration of Mortal Residue has been reduced to equal Mortal Coil's duration.\n- Reduced the reuse time for the Berserker Savage Spirit AA to 60 minutes. \n\n\n*** UI ***\n\n- A large number of UI optimizations have been put in place that should noticeably increase frame rates under certain circumstances.\n- All UI engine changes required by the expansion are now live.  Some patching of UIs may be required.   Most of the popular UIs should already be updated -  check your favorite UI site.\n\n- Changed -\n- EQUI.xml\n- EQUI_Animations.xml\n- EQUI_CastSpellWnd.xml\n- EQUI_HeritageSelectionWnd.xml\n- EQUI_MercenaryManageWnd.xml\n- EQUI_ServerListWnd.xml\n- EQUI_Templates.xml\n- EQUI_VoiceActionBarWnd.xml\n- SIDL.xml\n\n*** Miscellaneous ***\n\n- When changing race to a gnome, tinkering skill is now properly set at 50 as if you had rolled a new gnome.\n- You can now select your heritage if you change races into a Drakkin.\n- Changing race will no longer remove certain ranger abilities.\n\n*** Mercenaries ***\n\n- Added a new selectable assist mode for mercenaries.\n- There are two new buttons in the mercenary management window: \"Auto Assist\" and \"Call Assist\".\n- When \"Auto Assist\" is engaged, mercenaries should behave exactly as before with respect to what targets they use for attacking/healing.\n- Using a tank mercenary with \"Auto Assist\" disabled, the merc will wait for the \"Call Assist\" button to be pressed before engaging any targets. When the \"Call Assist\" button is pressed, all targets currently on the group enemy list (that are in his awareness range) will be added as valid targets and he will begin attacking using the normal AI for determining targets.\n- Using a healer mercenary with \"Auto Assist\" disabled, the merc will behave normally except you can press the \"Call Assist\" button to override normal rules for not healing pullers. If a puller is in the awareness range of the healer merc when \"Call Assist\" is pressed, it will have a 3 second window where it can drop a heal on them.\n- /mercassist on -- Turns on mercenary auto-assist mode.\n- /mercassist off -- Turns off mercenary auto-assist mode.\n- /mercassist -- Calls for assist when your mercenary is not in auto-assist mode.\n- Fixed an issue where players could cause their tank merc to attack other players' pets.\n- The scarecrow tank mercenary now has endurance.\n\n- The EverQuest Team","content_hash":"fe77244863accf4400221f36eb53e71ade78c6c97338dce69905c59dfea0c795","source_files":["patches-2009-2.txt","patches_1999-2010_combined.txt"],"source_titles":["November 11, 2009"],"source_url":null,"source_urls":[],"occurrence_count":2,"source_occurrences":[{"occurrence_id":"d2be4e4cdba4433b7f1c865fd9fd14b2576bd11cc67487a41a845f91c82efcfb","filename":"patches_1999-2010_combined.txt","adapter":"text","source_offset":1208058,"item_index":null,"heading":"November 11, 2009","source_url":null,"source_url_raw":null,"published":null,"source_kind":"text","excerpt":false,"year_inferred":false},{"occurrence_id":"6a2a1bf74e5852a9920a600a111a7a2419d68d17d6287220c196e00a82445359","filename":"patches-2009-2.txt","adapter":"text","source_offset":33332,"item_index":null,"heading":"November 11, 2009","source_url":null,"source_url_raw":null,"published":null,"source_kind":"text","excerpt":false,"year_inferred":false}],"year_inferred":false,"sequence":1,"slug":"2009-11-11-1","id":"2009-11-11-1"},{"patch_date":"2009-10-21","effective_date":"2009-10-21","display_date":"October 21, 2009","title":"October 21, 2009","year":2009,"month":10,"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"}],"sections":["Items","Tradeskills","Quests & Events","Spells","AA","UI","Miscellaneous","Previously Updated"],"change_count":21,"word_count":527,"summary":"From the patcher: Here's a sneak peek at the Game Update Notes for Wednesday.

This will prevent damage procs from triggering on debuffs and mesmerizing spells.\n\n*** AA ***\n\n- The Second Spire of the Minstrels will no longer apply a damage bonus to procs or item clicks.  Any bonus it applies to DoT damage will be divided over all ticks of the DoT rather than adding its full amount every tick.\n- The functionality of Mortal Coil has been changed slightly to prevent some unwanted effects in specific situations. The triggering of mortal coil now leaves a 'Mortal Residue' upon your body for a short time which will block the continual application of Mortal Coil. Most players will see no change in the way this AA behaves.\n\n*** UI ***\n\n- Added left-click functionality to player and group UI gauges when used in custom windows.\n\n- Changed -\n\nEQUI.xml\nEQUI_Animations.xml\n\n*** Miscellaneous ***\n\n- NPCs that summon will now summon players to half of their melee distance in the same direction the player was in prior to summoning. The method used to calculate the position of the summon should correctly account for floor height and invisible zone walls. So players should not fall through the world after being summoned or be locked outside of zone boundaries.\n- Fixed a calculation error that allowed a player to sometimes stand just outside of a rooted/summoning NPCs melee radius and not be summoned.\n- Fixed a problem that caused the spell Doom of the Mephits to crash the zone when you had a mercenary.\n- Fixed a problem with pets where they would not re-attack an NPC when instructed to after the NPC had charmed its owner and pet hold was on.\n- Alternate currency that is in item form will now automatically be reclaimed when exiting a monster mission.\n\n*** Previously Updated ***\n\n- The requirement to enter Howling Stones has now been lowered to level 40 to allow Hot Zone access for relevant players.\n- Fixed a problem that was preventing players that did not have the key from entering the dragoncrypt zone.\n- Fixed a bug that would send characters below the world when zoning from Paineel to Toxxulia Forest.\n- The clicknar in Toxxulia will now fight back.

If you had augments in these items, be sure to put them in bags before you zone.\n\n- Most items from Old Man McKenzie's group missions have been upgraded in power.  They have also had their required levels reduced to 80.  These items do not need to be turned in to see the changes.\n\n- You will now have to impress Old Man McKenzie with your accomplishments before he will allow you to start a Nagafen or Vox raid or see items that come from them.  People who have completed more than seven raids from Solteris, Meldrath's Mansion, Crystallos, or all but the first tier of Seeds of Destruction raids will impress him.  You must request a Nagafen or Vox raid from him or attempt to join one in progress for him to check your accomplishments and allow you to see the raid items.\n\n- New Hot Zones are now available.  Speak to Franklin Teek in the Plane of Knowledge to see what new tasks he has in store for you. \n\n\n*** Items ***\n\n- Many of Old Man McKenzie's items have faded from memory.  If you have one of these faded items, give them to the Old Man in Plane of Knowledge and he will return your Brews and an additional reward.  If you had augments in these items, be sure to put them in bags before you zone.\n- Most items from Old Man McKenzie's group missions have been upgraded in power.

You must request a Nagafen or Vox raid from him or attempt to join one in progress for him to check your accomplishments and allow you to see the raid items.\n- The new Orb of Tishan's click effect has been repaired.\n- The Frost-Strung Bow now offers a bit more protection.\n- Replaced the missing AC from the new Thick Banded Belt.\n- Tobrin's Mystical Eyepatch can not be activated as often.\n- The new Staff of Forbidden Rites has had its recast time raised and will only have one augment slot.\n- The Barbarian Hunting Spear, Staff of Forbidden Rites, Warhammer of Divine Grace, and Staff of Ankexfen have had their ratios increased to match other weapons in their tier.\n- The familiar summoned by the new Scimitar of the Mistwalker has become faster but weaker.  The scimitar itself has become slightly less powerful.\n- The Improved Dodge effect on the Idol of Many Hands, the Silvery Trinket, and the Frost-Strung Bow has been reduced to level VI to match the focus on other items in its tier.\n\n\n*** Quests & Events ***\n\n-  Classic Missions have undergone a careful bug fixing pass resulting in the following changes:\n     - Harm Touch has been changed to remove an exploit allowing the use of unintended higher level versions of the ability. In addition, the ability will no longer refresh upon the death of the Shadow Knight. This affects the Classic Mission ability as well as the normal version of the ability.\n     - Paladins should now be able to create a Lay On Hands hotkey.\n     - Shaman have been granted the haste spell Alacrity.\n     - Lady Vox will now leash to her spawn point should she find herself outside of her room. This has been changed to provide an encounter more in the spirit of the event.\n     - Lowered the hand to hand damage on each of the classic mission characters to be more in line with their previous values.  Monks of course still have much higher unarmed damage then other classes.\n- The classic raids will once again drop items instead of brews.\n- Old Man McKenzie no longer remembers encountering the Corrupted Gnome Explorer in Guk.\n- Old Man McKenzie's group tasks now require a minimum of three adventurers to obtain and all three must be present to open the chests.  The raid events will still require 12.\n- Fixed an issue that caused the classic mission task to end when players were added or removed from the task.\n- Fixed an issue that caused players to be able to use AAs in the monster mission that the shrouds were not intended to have.\n- Fixed an issue that caused players that were dead and in hover mode to sometimes not receive rewards when the chest was opened at the end of the classic mission.\n- Sulgar now promises the correct reward for Tarton's Wheel.\n- Fixed some spelling errors in Blackfeather Roost tasks.\n- The Dark Tower: Fallen Guard task now specifies the correct zone in its description.\n\n\n*** NPC ***\n\n- Modified the placement of some Rallosian Shocktroopers in Korascian Warrens.\n- Increased the chance for Library Director Eslisar to spawn in the Keasora Library.\n- Fixed a placement problem with an Elder Air Wyvern in Crystallos.\n- The Pixxt Deathbinder's spell Consuming Flames now takes significantly longer to cast.\n\n\n*** AA ***\n\n- Glyph of Angry Thoughts should now always give you the full hate bonus as described.\n- Harm Touch 1 – 10 will no longer refresh upon the death of the Shadow Knight. This is to make the ability consistent throughout the entire level range.\n\n\n*** Zones ***\n\n- The following zones are now Hot Zones providing new challenges and increased experience. Speak to Franklin Teek in the Plane of Knowledge to see what new tasks he has in store for you.\n\n   - Level 20 – South Karana\n   - Level 25 – Lake of Ill Omen\n   - Level 30 – The Twilight Sea\n   - Level 35 – Kedge Keep\n   - Level 40 – City of Mist\n   - Level 45 – Howling Stones\n   - Level 50 – Veksar\n   - Level 55 – Grieg’s End\n   - Level 60 – Plane of Nightmares\n   - Level 65 – Kod’Taz, Broken Trial Grounds\n   - Level 70 – The Buried Sea\n   - Level 75 – Thalassius, the Coral Keep\n   - Level 75 – Ashengate, Reliquary of the Scale\n\n   - Apparently while performing some end-of-the-summer cleaning, the doors within Howling Stones were left unlocked. It may be some time before a maintenance crew can be sent there again to lock the doors up tight. Use this knowledge as you will.\n   - In addition, the spells protecting the entrance to Howling Stones have weakened, and adventurers of lesser skill and strength may find its halls now accessible.\n\n\n*** UI ***\n\n- Changed -\n\nEQUI_Animations.xml - new dragitems\nEQUI_CharacterListWnd.xml - minor alignment fixes\nEQUI_CharacterSelect.xml - minor alignment fixes\n\n\n*** Miscellaneous ***\n\n- Fixed a bug that was causing chat messages sent to your guild to sometimes be lost.\n- Fixed a problem with sound effects stacking that caused many sounds to play incorrectly.\n- Fixed a problem that caused you to lose all the money on your shroud when removing the shroud and upgrading a mercenary.\n\n\n*** Previously Updated ***\n\n- Both the classic raid tasks and the zones they take place in have been set to their intended maximum of 42 players.\n- Removed the ability for mercenaries to accompany you on Ancient Heroes missions.

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. At the higher levels it has been doubled, and the NPCs have been given a chance to drop 1 or 2 components. Humanoid rogues will drop 1 to 4.\n\n- Client Memory Optimizations: The client now uses less memory and has several new modes of operation to allow you to configure memory usage versus performance.\n\n* * * Items * * *\n\n- Removed the Echo of Anger effect from the Discordling War Mask.\n- Increased the AC on the tier 4.5 shields from the hard mode raids.\n- Put the correct sharpshooting focus on the items with sharpshooting from the hard mode raids.\n- Many items with Geomantra have had a shared recast timer added to them.\n- The Aspect of the Brood item should now work more consistently.\n\n* * * Quests & Events * * *\n\n- Fixed a problem that could cause one of the chests in the Korafax raids to be killed by NPCs and therefore disappear.\n- The gold abacus will now reward players who defeated any number of dragons during the Dragons, Dragons, Dragons event. 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. They still will not be perfect if you get a bad run. \n\n* * * Tradeskills * * *\n\n- Poison component drops have been increased, mostly at the higher levels.

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. Mail flagged as SPAM will have its subject replaced by \"SPAM\". Buttons have been added to the mail window to report emails as spam or not spam (in case they are mis-flagged as spam).\n\n * * * Client Memory Optimizations * * *\n\n- The client now uses less memory and has several new modes of operation to allow you to configure memory usage versus performance.\n- There are four modes of operation selectable in the Options->Display->Advanced window:\n\n    Least memory usage--This is the most aggressive mode. It only loads graphical assets on demand (at the time they are needed) and is aggressive about unloading assets when memory usage goes up. 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.

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":"2009-04-23","effective_date":"2009-04-23","display_date":"April 23, 2009","title":"April 23, 2009","year":2009,"month":4,"kind":"live","era":"EverQuest Live","expansion":"Seeds of Destruction","expansion_code":"seeds-of-destruction","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":"expansions","label":"Expansions"}],"sections":["Here are the patch notes from this morning's patch","Highlights","Items","Quests & Events","Previously Updated"],"change_count":12,"word_count":339,"summary":"Here are the patch notes from this morning's patch: Highlights *** After reviewing the difficulty curve of the Dragons players fight in the \"Dragons, Dragons, Dragons\" raid we determined that it made more sense for players to fight the mighty Dragon Vishimtar *after* the dragons of Relic, rather…","content":"Here are the patch notes from this morning's patch:\n\n*** Highlights ***\n\n- After reviewing the difficulty curve of the Dragons players fight in the \"Dragons, Dragons, Dragons\" raid we determined that it made more sense for players to fight the mighty Dragon Vishimtar *after* the dragons of Relic, rather than before. The event has been modified to reflect this.\n\n*** Items ***\n\n- Paladin leg armor from SoF has had detrimental spell haste added to it.\n\n- Haste has been added to caster and priest belts from SoF and SoD that did not have it before.\n\n- Updated the vendor purchased Archaic bard equipment to have mods equivalent to the dropped Versions.\n\n- All fabled items created for 2009 now have a required level of 75 and a recommended level of 79.\n\n- Added a cap to the effectiveness of the following charms: Bundle of Tiger Whiskers, Carved Fox Ear, Sapphire Spiroc Feather, Mammoth Tusk Powder, Intricate Defiant Charm, and Intricate Consigned Charm.\n\n*** Quests & Events ***\n\n- After reviewing the difficulty curve of the Dragons players fight in the \"Dragons, Dragons, Dragons\" raid we determined that it made more sense for players to fight the mighty Dragon Vishimtar *after* the dragons of Relic, rather than before. The event has been modified to reflect this.\n\n- Corrected some issues with the teleportation script for the Dragons, Dragons, Dragons raid in PoK. You should now be able to correctly teleport to all zones linked to this task from PoK (it was previously working from inside the instances but not always working in PoK).\n\n- The expansion requirement for the \"Dragons, Dragons, Dragons\" event has been removed.\n\n- The Anniversary Scavenger Hunt events were not updated to end at the same time as the other Fabled events.

Those who are eligible will now be granted the AA \"Summon Clockwork Banker.\"\n\n- Make poison has new recipes and items. You will find the instructions on new vendors.\n\n- A series of Rogue-only quests are now being offered by the Rogue Guilds of Norrath. Seek out the Poison Masters in your starting city for more information.\n\n- New types of Defiant armor have made their appearance across Norrath.\n\n*** Items ****\n\n- Increased the bard instrument mod values on many SoF and SoD group and raid equipment pieces.\n\n- Created a method for converting the original roboboar to the shiny roboboar and vice versa. The polishing and rusting devices can be found on the Geerlok Clockwork Merchant in Crescent Reach.\n\n- Low-level Defiant armor will drop much more often.\n\n- New types of Defiant armor have made their appearance across Norrath.\n\n- Modified the Required and Recommended levels of the “Pet Proc” weapons from Fabled Planes of Power to be consistent. The Required level is now 75 for all of these items and the recommended level is now 79 for all of these items.\n\n- The Brell's Party Plans book gives a bit more information about how to make the woven basket.\n\n- Irae Faycite Shard: Tjudawos' Chant of Flame and and Irae Faycite Shard: Zeixshi-Kar's Chant of Frost have been changed to increase the duration of their respective spells by 1 tick instead of increasing their damage. Their names have been changed to “Durus” to match other Type 3 augs of similar effects.\n\n- Modified the the naming of bard type 3 augs to be consistent with other type 3 augs.\n\n- Removed all casting times and mana cost from Earthen Mud so it will proc for classes without mana (and not consume mana of those with it.)\n\n*** Spells ***\n\n- The Contact Innate in Battle Frenzy and Combat Frenzy now shares the slot with the Third Spire of Elements.\n\n*** NPCs ***\n\n- Fixed a bug that could cause the Fabled Tribal Leader Diseranon to stop spawning in Vegarlson, the Earthen Badlands.\n\n*** Quest ***\n\n- A series of Rogue-only quests are now being offered by the Rogue Guilds of Norrath. Seek out the Poison Masters in your starting city for more information.\n\n*** Raids ***\n\n- Corrected the faction issues in the Queen Malarian raid.\n\n- Beware the clockwork devices in the Plane of Innovation! They pack a lot more punch during the Fabled times!\n\n*** Tradeskills ***\n\n- Wood strips recipe will now return the planing tool on success and failure. Additionally wood strips will now stack to 20, allowing the recipe to give you 4.\n\n- Make poison has new recipes and items. You will find the instructions on new vendors.\n\n*** AA ***\n\n- The 11th year Veteran Reward has been created. Those who are eligible will now be granted the AA \"Summon Clockwork Banker.\"\n\n- The Advanced Pet Discipline AA and Animation Empathy AAs have been modified to match the new pet control functionality.\n\n- Modified all 3 ranks of the Monk AA Five Point Palm to properly credit the Monk who used the Five Point Palm ability with the damage that results from this effect. You should now see a damage message, etc, indicating that the target took damage from the Player that cast the spell, rather than having the target of the AA silently do damage to themselves.\n\n- Removed the Endurance cost from the Monk AA lines Eye Gouge, Stunning Kick, and Crippling Strike.\n\n*** Zones ***\n\n- Guild Banner summoning has been turned on for Solteris (note that all usual restrictions apply).\n\n*** Pets ***\n\n- Guard and follow are on separate buttons again. Guard and follow states are independent of stop and sit. Stop and sit are overrides for guard and follow. Pressing guard or follow when stop or sit are engaged will automatically turn them off.\n\n- Changed the behavior of the stop command. It is now a toggle-able state. When activated, your pet will stand still and stop attacking, but remember who it hates. Stop can be turned off manually, or is automatically turned off whenever follow, guard, attack, qattack, or back off are used.\n\n- Added the greater hold state (ghold). Greater hold is granted by pet discipline. It works very much like regular hold except that regular hold allows opponents to be added to the pet's hate list when the pet already has opponents on its list. Greater hold only allows NPCs you specifically add via attack or qattack to be added to its hate list. Hold and ghold are mutually exclusive.\n\n- Pet help has been updated with the new information about these changes.\n\n*** Miscellaneous ***\n\n- Fixed a crash with certain custom UIs with custom hot bars.\n\n- Fixed a problem that caused the quest level ranges for quest givers to not be displayed under their name.\n\n- Lockout timers can once again be sorted in the expedition window.\n\n*** UI ***\n\n- Optimized the raid window to get rid of the long pause when opening it when there are a large number of people in the raid.\n\n*** Previously Hotfixed ***\n\n- Ierene Seldon now spawns in her correct location in the Blue Hawk's Tavern.\n\n- Tober Grandim in Blightfire Moors will no longer agro on players.\n\n- The Manaetic Behemoth should once again appear in the Plane of Innovation.\n\n- Nettle Higglesbury should now correctly gather some rabble rousers around him once he's finished his pie.\n\n- Fixed a problem with Atler Flamejabber. He should now reappear in his correct location after someone has completed his quest.\n\n- The EverQuest Team","content_hash":"838ec0445254b8195949f2ea297e3edfc776dae518e25b49a272ac15691e3bec","source_files":["patches-2009-1.txt","patches_1999-2010_combined.txt"],"source_titles":["April 7, 2009"],"source_url":null,"source_urls":[],"occurrence_count":2,"source_occurrences":[{"occurrence_id":"a4fc4d496a93a8988c51887c04aea8d9fc0a5521c0149b11bd6e1eee086f3024","filename":"patches_1999-2010_combined.txt","adapter":"text","source_offset":1156329,"item_index":null,"heading":"April 7, 2009","source_url":null,"source_url_raw":null,"published":null,"source_kind":"text","excerpt":false,"year_inferred":false},{"occurrence_id":"b2e54fa4c796bd121b62c6e4fca3762f3b7b11d3a7b0a67f3d43271514087245","filename":"patches-2009-1.txt","adapter":"text","source_offset":28610,"item_index":null,"heading":"April 7, 2009","source_url":null,"source_url_raw":null,"published":null,"source_kind":"text","excerpt":false,"year_inferred":false}],"year_inferred":false,"sequence":1,"slug":"2009-04-07-1","id":"2009-04-07-1"},{"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.

Also included was this hotfix (from the patcher):\n\n*** Highlights ***\n\n- Pet hold can now be used with charmed pets again (as long as the owner has the AA).\n- Put separators back into raid window. Separators will now appear between sorting groups for all sorting criteria except for \"by name.\"\n\n*** Quests & Events ***\n\n- Added a check to make sure there are miscreants in Shadow Haven when they are supposed to be there.\n- Bristlebane's party will now show up in, er, minitab as expected.\n- Added a default \"Hail\" dialog to each kill target in the Justice of the Tribunal 10th Anniversary task that will let you re-engage if you already hailed that NPC but failed to kill him.\n\n*** NPC ***\n\n- Modified the spawn rates of several NPCs in Fabled PoP that drop the \"Swarm Pet\" Weapons to normalize the rate that they appear. 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. Separators will now appear between sorting groups for all sorting criteria except for \"by name.\"\n- When sorting by group, empty slots should always be shown after filled slots for each group. Also group leaders should always be at the top of each group.\n- When sorting by anything but group, all the empty slots are removed and not displayed.\n\n- Changed -\n\nSIDL.xml\n\n*** Previously Updated ***\n- Fixed a problem with Atler Flamejabber.

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.

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.

The frosty bonus experience will remain until the end of Frostfell, Tuesday January 6, 2009. Enjoy the holidays!\nFan Faire Workshop Quests: At the 2008 SOE Fan Faire in Las Vegas, several EverQuest players got a chance to participate in a Quest Workshop where members of the EQ Development team walked them through the quest creation process. The following quests have been implemented this update:\nGyrospire Relocator: Researcher Stripcog has unearthed a device that will allow a being to teleport to the top of each of the gyrospires. Unfortunately, he needs the assistance of others to help get the device working again. This quest was implemented with the assistance of Shadowkiller of Stromm, Ledau of Prexus, and Brasse, Cheremoya, Palarran, Starrla, Xapp, Sumdaye and Numayre from The Tribunal.\nKicking Tail: Scribe Choone’s party, attempting to help Choone research a story for Gimblefixx, was ambushed and nearly wiped out, save Scribe Choone himself. Choone wants the players to thin out the minotaur warriors enough for his mission to continue, and especially to kill the big mean taskmaster known as Higoren. See Scribe Choone in Dragonscale Hills to find out more. This quest was implemented with the assistance of Hellbent of Firiona Vie, Nizgog, Aroraskie, Indico, and Rigss of Erollisi Marr, and Hulkling of The Tribunal.\nImproved linkdead Recovery: We've decreased the amount of time linkdead players will have to wait to log back in because of a stuck character.\nImproved camera control: We added the ability to rotate the 3rd person camera (the one you get when you use the mousewheel) using the left mouse button. This allows you to move the camera around your character without rotating the character.  This is very similar to the way 3rd person cameras work in many other games.\nHot Zone Tasks: In addition to reminding players about the current Hot Zones, Franklin Teek in Plane of Knowledge now offers tasks for the most recent Hot Zones.\nTSS Flag Requirements Removed: Removed the flag requirements for The Serpent Spine (TSS) expansion raids to enter the raid zones as long as you are level 74 or higher. The person requesting the raids will still be required to have the proper flags to request the raid.\nSoF Crystal Drops Increased: Increased the number of Oil Stained Crystals that are dropped at the conclusion of the final event in Meldrath’s Mansion from six to twelve. \nLesson of the Devoted Improved: The Veteran AA Lesson of the Devoted will no longer be removed by death.\nBard Type 3 Augments: Added Bard type 3 augments to SoF and SoD faction vendors.\nWeapon Ratio Changes: Some of the Seeds of Destruction (SoD) group weapons had their ratios further tweaked. This is a completion of some previous changes that didn’t quite make last Update.\nNew Icons for the Original Epics: With the newly discovered old set of icons, we gave the original epic 1.0s their intended art (for the original 1.0 epics that had one made).\nPhysical Resist Changes:  Made tuning adjustments (downward) on many NPCs that had higher-than-expected resistances to Physical Attacks (Such as the Monk Eye Gouge attack). These attacks should be much more reliable now.\n*** Items ***\n\nAdded Bard type 3 augments to SoF and SoD faction vendors.\nSome of the SoD group weapons had their ratios further tweaked. This is a completion of some previous changes that didn’t quite make last Update.\nWith the newly discovered old set of icons, we gave the original epic 1.0s their intended art (for the original 1.0 epics that had one made).\nThe Master Artisan Satchel should no longer display haste effect information when a haste item is placed inside it.\n*** Spells ***\n\nMade more tradeskill-created spells tradable on Firiona Vie.\nSwapped the Earthen Embrace and Serpent Vines spells back to their proper items.\nThe effect from the Aura of Rodcet will now pulse every 6 seconds instead of being a persistent effect, allowing its effect to stack with Lich and Clarity lines.\nThe mana boost from the Aura of Rodcet now mimics the effect of Cantata / Chorus of Rodcet.\nPuratus, Fulkitcher Weave, and Cantata of Courage spells should now work properly.\nBards will no longer have their mana drained by the spell Mana Ignite, though they should still take damage from the spell.\n*** NPCs ***\n\nAdded some of the special resistances, like mez and stun, on the rare/named NPCs in Korafax, Field of Scale and Old Bloodfield.\nFixed an issue that was causing some mobs in Old Bloodfield to despawn unexpectedly.\nPhysical Resist Changes: Made tuning adjustments (downward) on many NPCs that had higher-than-expected resistances to Physical Attacks (Such as the Monk Eye Gouge attack). These attacks should be much more reliable now.\nRathework Guardians are now a good deal faster than they were before.\n*** Quests ***\n\nImplemented the Fan Faire quest \"Kicking Tail.\" See Scribe Choone in Dragonscale Hills to find out more.\nThe Fan Faire quest Gyrospire Relocation has been implemented. Find Researcher Stripcog in Mechanotus for more information.\nIn addition to reminding players about the current Hot Zones, Franklin Teek in Plane of Knowledge is pleased to once again offer tasks that take place in these zones.\nThe Old Bloodfields quest called \"Deliver the Message\" is now a shared task. We also fixed issues that could cause it to fail to update.\nSlowed down the respawn rate in the Permafrost Frostfell mission.\n*** Raids ***\n\nIncreased the number of Oil Stained Crystals that are dropped at the conclusion of the final event in Meldrath’s Mansion from six to twelve. \nRemoved the flag requirements for TSS raids to enter the raid zones as long as you are level 74 or higher. The person requesting the raids will still be required to have the proper flags to request the raid.\nThe Stasis room raid reset should no longer get stuck in a loop.\nThe Kaesora raid will now reset after 15 minutes or if all council members are idle.\nThe Ritualists in the second phase of the Kithicor raid will no longer damage the storyline NPCs while they are idle.  It should still be necessary to engage the correct group of ritualists shortly after the message: “A dark energy begins to build to the *direction* of the combatants.”  However, it should no longer be necessary to engage all of them simultaneously.\nThe area near the entrance doorway will no longer be a safe spot during the Mindblight raid.\n*** AA ***\n\nThe Veteran AA Lesson of the Devoted will no longer be removed by death.\nThe Enchanter AA Self Stasis should be more reliable at removing players from combat as they enter stasis.\n*** Mercenaries ***\n\nAdded a new /merclog command that logs information for the player's mercenary (if they have one) to MercenaryAILog.txt. This command can only be executed once per minute. Also, added a new \"mercenaries\" bug type to the /bug window. Any bugs submitted with this type also generates the MercenaryAILog.txt file (if the player owns a merc and the merc is not dead/suspended).\nUnshrouding should no longer require an upgrade cost in cases where you have not gained a level.\nFixed an issue that caused a healer mercenary not to heal you if you temporarily interrupted the incoming damage (say, with weapon shield). \n*** Miscellaneous ***\n\nImproved linkdead recovery: We've decreased the amount of time linkdead players will have to wait to log back in because of a stuck character.\nIf you attempt to login to the world when that account is already logged in, you will now be prompted as to whether you wish to kick off the currently logged in player.   The logged in player (if it is truly logged in and not link dead) will be prompted whether they wish to allow themselves to be kicked off.\nWhen going linkdead in combat, a 30 second delay is enforced before the kick is executed.\nWhen going linkdead while out of combat a 5 second delay is enforced before the kick is executed.\nImproved camera control: We added the ability to rotate the 3rd person camera (the one you get when you use the mousewheel) using the left mouse button. This allows you to move the camera around your character without rotating the character.  This is very similar to the way 3rd person cameras work in many other games.\nCorrected an issue that prevented further purchases after opening a Consigned Armor Bundle in the marketplace.\nCorrected an error message if an account does not have a credit card on file for the marketplace.\nModifications have been made to messaging in order to remove the redundancy of messages popping up for funding the wallet.\n*** UI ***\n\nBuff icons from effects that are not removed by death should no longer disappear after receiving a resurrection.\nFixed an issue preventing targeting players or entities by clicking on their HP gauges.\nChanging the volume in the in-game music player should now work correctly again.\n \n\n- Changed -\n\nEQUI_Animations.xml\nEQUI_GroupWindow.xml\nEQUI_MusicPlayerWnd.xml\nEQUI_PlayerWindow.xml\nEQUI_TargetOfTargetWindow.xml\n\n~ The EverQuest Team","content_hash":"966e3b207137e8474bf6892a77ef2c31b29ee15b63ac60b2c14f2f4af0414d9e","source_files":["patches-2008-2.txt","patches_1999-2010_combined.txt"],"source_titles":["December 23, 2008"],"source_url":null,"source_urls":[],"occurrence_count":2,"source_occurrences":[{"occurrence_id":"33a87538827957faf32229f405a69395ecfc497836adfdfab26ecb5fc6f52a6a","filename":"patches_1999-2010_combined.txt","adapter":"text","source_offset":1118276,"item_index":null,"heading":"December 23, 2008","source_url":null,"source_url_raw":null,"published":null,"source_kind":"text","excerpt":false,"year_inferred":false},{"occurrence_id":"6c28e9ffc8504aba97d8406f1d188c55c3d4174e47b280b2ca88e188d7e9d786","filename":"patches-2008-2.txt","adapter":"text","source_offset":76751,"item_index":null,"heading":"December 23, 2008","source_url":null,"source_url_raw":null,"published":null,"source_kind":"text","excerpt":false,"year_inferred":false}],"year_inferred":false,"sequence":1,"slug":"2008-12-23-1","id":"2008-12-23-1"},{"patch_date":"2008-12-09","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! Her photo was transformed to a Legends of Norrath card and a statue of her character was placed within the Guild Hall in EverQuest! Congratulations Khyandys! \n\n*** Items *** \n\n- Altered the merchant value of the unfired and sealed Energeian Orbs. \n\n*** AA *** \n\n- The \"Elemental Form\" AA lines have had their reuse delay reduced to 30 seconds. \n- Added Cleric, Paladin, Druid, Beastlord and Ranger to the Quick Buff line. \n- Changed Spell Casting Deftness to a 10%, 25% and 50% cast time haste to match Quick Buff. \n- Focused Paragon of Spirit now requires players to purchase rank 3 of Paragon of Spirit before they can purchase the Focused Version. This will not impact anyone who currently has Focused Paragon. \n\n*** NPCs *** \n\n- Citizens of Shadowhaven now proudly advertise the services they offer. \n- Raid NPCs are now immune to Song of the Highsun. \n- All guildmasters will now train research to skill 20 if the player is the appropriate level to gain the research skill. \n\n*** Tradeskills *** \n\nA few new sets of items and recipes have been created for Tradeskills along with a few standard upgrades. \n\n- Alchemy potions have been upgraded to level 85 and a few more illusion potions have been added. \n- Baking received a new meat, with recipes to go along with it. \n- Absinthe and another high-powered drink have been added in for Brewing. \n- Jewelcraft received a new metal for the next power level of jewelry.
