The ability to play that gnoll, orc, or the cute \nand fuzzy rat. On your character select screen you will notice another \nbutton in the upper right part of your screen called \"Monster\". \nClicking this button will randomly place you in a low-level NPC in a \nrandom zone. You will be given full control of the creature to do with \nit what you like. You may hunt and kill other creatures. You may even \nattack other players.\n\nSome things to remember when playing your own personal monster (NPC).\n\n-You will not be able to interact with players or NPC's other than \nmoving and hitting attack.\n-You cannot speak, trade, sell, or do anything else that a player can \ndo.\n-You will spawn with normal loot for the monster you are playing and \nPlayer Characters will be able to kill you for loot and experience.\n-If you are a spell casting monster you might want to take a moment to \nmemorize some spells.\n-Once you die, you will return to the character select screen where you \nmay choose to return as another NPC or play your normal character.\n-You may gain experience, levels, and skills as this NPC, but once you \ndie, it is all lost. You will need to start over the next time you \nchoose to be a NPC character.\n-You can't zone as a monster.\n-Monster PCs (MPCs) can not loot, sell, or gain items. They only get \nwhat they start out with.\n\nThis ability to play a monster is being implemented for PvP servers \nonly as we have no plans to implement non-consensual PvP on a non PvP \nserver.\n\nHowever, we are still working with this system. We may find other ways \nto implement Project M on the non-PvP servers that are acceptable. We \naren't done looking at the possible uses of this new feature.\n\n** PvP Server Related **\n\n- Guards, when seeing PCs in combat, will now attack the one that they \nlike the least (the one with the lowest appropriate faction). If all \nthe PCs involved are highly regarded (have very high faction) the \nguards will allow them to resolve their own issues without interfering.\n\n- Guards should also refrain from attacking PCs that are attacked by \npets of any sort.\n\n- Sullon Zek now has an across the board experience bonus of 20%, and \nthe experience loss on all deaths on Sullon Zek is now 50% less.\n\n** Zone Specific Changes **\n\n- Kael now has specific bind locations, located only at the entryways. \nThis means that binding will only be possible in those areas.\n\n- Anti-bottom feeding code has been removed from the Stonebrunt \nMountains and the Warrens.\n\n- Added a melee bind location to the dock in Iceclad.\n\n** Bug Fixes **\n\n- Fixed a bug that allowed corpses to exist inside walls. Now if a \ncorpse ends up in a location that is not 'valid' the corpse will be \nmoved to the 'safe coordinates' of the zone. Also, the /corpse command \nwill now summon your own corpse to you anywhere in the zone as long as \nthat corpse is on the safe spot of the zone. This should prevent \ncorpses from being stuck in walls.\n\n- Fixed it so that Critical Hit damage messages match the actual damage done.\n\n- The visible damage bonus modifier on two-handed weapons has been \ncorrected. The value that was displayed was incorrect, no change has \nbeen made to the damage bonus itself.\n\n** Item Changes **\n\n- Fixed an issue with the Bardic Epic weapon. Now if the bard has his \nEpic and an instrument that gives bonuses to songs, the best effect \nwill take precedence, rather than the Epic bonuses always being used.\n\n- Cloak of Imperception should now have charges. You will need to \nexchange your old one for a new one with your GM within the next five \ndays.\n\n- Donal's Chestplate of Mourning has unlimited charges again.\n\n** Gameplay/Interface Changes/Additions **\n\n- We have changed the way the /consider command works. We have added a \n'light blue' area between green and blue. NPCs that used to /consider \ngreen but gave experience will now /consider light blue, as well as \nNPCs of slightly lower level than those greens. You will always get \nexperience for something that is light blue. You will not receive \nexperience for greens. At the same time, by including lower level NPCs \nin the light blue /consider, we have increased the range of lower level \nNPCs that will grant experience. This will be most noticeable for \ncharacters of higher level.\n\n- Added /targetgroupbuff. Type /targetgroupbuff on to activate, off to \nturn it off. When on, all group buff spells you cast will require a \ntarget but will affect everyone grouped (and in range) with that \ntarget, even if it is not your own group. When it is off your group \nbuff spells will act normally. This will only work with group buffs \nthat have a duration, and will not affect heals, portals or change form \nspells.\n\n- Added code that will put one item onto your cursor if it won't fit \ninto your inventory due to a cancelled trade or looting items (and \nother cases). This will only work if there is not already an item on \nthe cursor.\n\n- Added code that prevents player characters from dropping coins on the \nground. This should prevent the loss of coins due to accident or scam.\n\n- Made a modification to the chase camera mouselook code. Moving the \nmouse forward or back in this camera view will make the camera move up \nand down, and the camera also automatically pitches to keep your \ncharacter in view.\n\n- You now see the number of hit points you are healed, and you also now \nsee how many hit points you heal when healing others.\n\n** Skill Changes **\n\n- Bard Piercing cap was raised to 250 at 60th level.\n\n- Foraging and Fishing will now result in a wider variety of items, \nespecially in zones that have unusual items available to forage or fish \n(such as quest items). Quest and unique items were too common in zones \nthat had them, often making it hard to use those skills to obtain items \nsuch as food and drink.

This means that if the last \ncharacter you were playing was speaking Elvish, then when you log back \nin with any character, that character will be speaking Elvish if he \ncan, otherwise it will be set to a default language (most often \nCommon).\n\n*** Magic System Changes ***\n\nThere is a more detailed explanation of these changes posted on our \nDeveloper's Corner. Please visit there for more details (either at \nwww.everquest.com or http://boards.station.sony.com/ubb/everquest/cgi-\nbin/Ultimate.cgi). Here is a summary of the changes:\n\n- The level-based spell resistance bonus inherent in super-high level \nNPCs has been reduced significantly.\n\n- Several NPCs have had their resistances reduced. Each of them was \nexamined carefully, and resistances changed as seemed appropriate. For \nsome of these NPCs other things were changed as well to compensate for \ntheir increased susceptibility to spells, such as armor improvements or \nperhaps greater hit points, if needed for that NPC.\n\n- NPCs that were highly magic resistant in order to make them immune to \ncertain spells can now be given specific immunity to those spells. This \nmeans that they can be made immune to critical spells, as intended, and \nstill be generally less resistant to magic. Players will receive a \nmessage similar to the one that is already given for Mesmerization \nspells when they cast a spell on an NPC that it is specifically immune \nto.\n\nIMPORTANT NOTE: It is very important to note that we have not made any \nNPCs immune to spells that they were not already immune to. Many NPCs \nthat were previously immune to spells due to their high innate \nresistance to magic have had that resistance reduced and specific \nimmunities added. So if you see an immunity message after attempting to \ncast a spell on an NPC that you hadn't seen such a message from before, \nunderstand that the NPC was already immune to that spell before due to \nhigh resistances, and the only difference is that it now has lower \nresistances in general and specific spell immunity (which is why you \nare seeing the message).\n\n*** Melee Changes ***\n\nAfter extensive research, testing, and evaluation we have completed the \nmelee portion of our class balancing. To be clear, these changes apply \njust to the combat aspect of melee classes. Any issues with non-combat \nskills, spell effects, spell selection, or non-combat aspects of \nclasses will be evaluated in the near future. With the completion of \nthe melee combat balancing, we will be moving onto spells and spell \ncasting classes. \n\nDue to the extensive nature of these changes, we can't describe them in \ndetail here. A detailed summary will be available on our Developer's \nCorner message board. Please visit www.everquest.com and our forums for \nmore information.\n\n* Summary of Melee Changes *\n\n- Two-Handed Weapons have been given an increased damage bonus for \ncharacters over level 50. Also, certain post-epic quality two-handers \nhave been improved.\n\n- Warriors have had their taunt skill cap increased to 230 at 60th \nlevel. Also, the Blades of Strategy and Tactics can now be used in \neither hand.\n\n- Rogues, as the primary user of piercing weapons, will benefit from an \nimprovement in the quality of a few existing high-end daggers. At some \nfuture date new piercing weapons will be added to the game to fill gaps \nin equipment availability.\n\n- Monks will now be on an improved combat table at levels 55 and again \nto a better table at 60. Monks now have the ability to Triple Attack at \n60th level. The minimum damage done by Flying Kick will be greatly \nincreased for monks starting at 51st level and scaling up to level 60. \nWe also intend to add more monk weapons in the future to fill equipment \ngaps.\n\n- Rangers have their Double Attack skill cap raised to 245. They have \nalso gained an innate offensive bonus that starts at level 55 and \nincreases until level 60. Ranger's Defense skill cap has been raised to \n220, and their Riposte skill cap has been raised to 185.\n\n- Paladins and Shadowknights, besides the benefits they gain from the \ntwo-handed weapons change mentioned above, have also been moved to the \nsame combat tables as warriors. In the future we intend to examine the \nexisting one-handed weapons useable by knights for possible upgrades. \nWe are also increasing the Taunt skill cap for these two classes to \n220.\n\n- Bards have had their 1h blunt and 1h slash skill caps increased to \n250. Their piercing skill cap has been increased to 240. Their Offense \nskill cap has been raised to 252. Bards are also being moved to the \nsame combat table with all the other melee and hybrid classes (save \nmonks who have separate tables after level 55). Bards Parry skill cap \nhas been raised to 185 as well. Finally, the Singing Shortsword can now \nbe equipped in the off hand and still give full song enhancing \nbenefits.\n\nPlease read the detailed explanation of these changes on our \nDeveloper's Corner message boards at \nhttp://boards.station.sony.com/ubb/everquest/cgi-bin/Ultimate.cgi\n\n*** Firiona Vie (Roleplaying Preferred) server goes Live ***\n\nOur newest special rules server is now available. Firiona Vie is \ndesignated as roleplaying preferred. There are many special rules for \nthis server, please read over them carefully before playing. We will be \nkeeping an updated list of these rules on our web site at \nhttp://everquest.station.sony.com/guidebook/firionavie.jsp .\n\n** Firiona Vie Server Feature List **\n\n- This is a new server, not a split server. Nor will there be any \ntransfers to this server.\n- Characters will be wiped before the server goes Live.\n- This is a PvE (Player vs. Environment) server, NOT a PvP (Player vs. \nPlayer) server. In other words, it's a standard 'blue' server with the \nsame rules and features regarding PvP as the vast majority of our \nservers. It is not one of the 'Zeks'. \n- Auction restricted to city zones: Qeynos, Surefall Glade, Highkeep, \nFreeport, Rivervale, Erudin, Halas, Neriak, Grobb, Oggok, Greater \nFaydark, Ak'Anon, Kaladim, Felwithe, Paineel, Cabilis, Kael and \nThurgadin. \n- Beneficial buff spells will not work on characters 20 levels lower than the caster. \n- Each character will be assigned an \"alignment\" upon creation. This \nalignment will be described in brief on the character creation screen \n(in the same location that their Deity is described).\n- Each character will be able to change their alignment once any time \nafter they reach 10th level if they choose. A character is not required \nto change alignments, but may do so any time after attaining 10th \nlevel. The player will be able to chose from a list of alignments based \non their race, class and deity. \n- A character's alignment will determine whether or not they can group \nwith other characters.\n- A character's alignment will determine an experience bonus or penalty \nwhen grouping with other characters. \n- A character's alignment will determine if they can cast beneficial \nspells on other characters (including resurrections). \n- Language skills will improve only through group chat in the same zone \nand from /say. \n- Languages will only improve 1 point each hour and will be capped at \nlevel*5+5 skill points. \n- Common will not exist. A Human language will be added and only made \neasily available to certain races. \n- One character per account. \n- The Trivial Loot Code will be in effect in all zones. \n- Very few items will be No-Drop. Exceptions will include things such \nas newbie notes and epic weapons.\n- Bind Affinity will be restricted for all characters to locations \nwhere melee characters can bind on other servers. \n- /emote will be language specific \n- All characters will be /roleplay. \n- /alignment will display the alignment of your character and probably \na more detailed description of that alignment. \n\n** Trivial Loot Code **\n\nBriefly, the Trivial Loot Code works like this: If a character kills an \nNPC and that NPC does not give them experience, then the Trivial Loot \nCode takes effect. If any member of a group does not get experience for \na kill, the Trivial Loot Code will take effect. The Trivial Loot Code \nprevents magical, lore and no-drop items from appearing on the corpse. \nNormal items and coins will appear on the corpse in all cases as usual.\n\nFor detailed information about the alignment system on the Firiona Vie \nserver, please visit our web site: \nhttp://everquest.station.sony.com/guidebook/firionavie.jsp\n\n** NOTE **\n\nBoisterous shouts can be heard across the lands as carriers herald the \narrival of the latest volume of their city's newspapers. Citizens rush \nto get a copy of these publications to read the featured articles, \nlatest gossip, and community news for their hometowns.\n\n** A Tale from Norrath **\n\nAdventurers, glory seekers, and plunder-hungry knaves,\n\nA few new tavern tales have been circulating from across the Deep. It \nappears that strife and civil unrest have once again plagued the lands \nof Kunark. Stories of treachery and terror within the ranks of the \nSarnak have spilled forth from the mountain fortress of Chardok.\n\nOnly a few of the most cunning spies have made their way into the \nSarnak hive during this brief time of turmoil, and their reports may \nhave serious implications. The Brood of Di`zok seems to be more \norganized than before. Their leadership is becoming more structured... \nand much more brutal. Production in the mines appears to be increasing \nand soldiers have been amassing in great numbers.\n\nOther tales have come from this mountain fortress as well. Terror \nsquads and interrogators have decimated the ranks of reported Sarnak \ntraitors. These squads have been working under the leadership of one of \nthe Sarnak Collective's newest council members, Korucust. It can only \nbe presumed that this cleansing is another step towards strengthening \nthe foul brood.\n\nThese tales are hard to confirm, since many of your adventurous kind \nare prone to drink and to the occasional mistruth. If these tales are \ntrue, it would only stand to reason that new dangers may reveal new \nwealth and glory. Perhaps it is time for you to gather your best gear, \nfinish your mug of ale, and head out to investigate.\n\nGood luck adventurers.\n\n\n- The EverQuest Team","content_hash":"ca02c5ae0d4a156ef2827154ed9037603838d5f6c3f79c8db0790dad8179e1cd","source_files":["patches-2001-2.txt","patches_1999-2008_combined.md","patches_1999-2010_combined.txt"],"source_titles":["October 8, 2001"],"source_url":null,"source_urls":[],"occurrence_count":3,"source_occurrences":[{"occurrence_id":"5150c12109f5fc721ea8b02bc1151ed7a2d7a285dea6ed4557d4111811b3ba2e","filename":"patches_1999-2008_combined.md","adapter":"markdown","source_offset":221653,"item_index":null,"heading":"October 8, 2001","source_url":null,"source_url_raw":null,"published":null,"source_kind":"markdown","excerpt":false,"year_inferred":false},{"occurrence_id":"d099698d2914f6f0fec855aac63b35527a610ca8a6b9af59ffb7cac6a96b5c70","filename":"patches_1999-2010_combined.txt","adapter":"text","source_offset":229842,"item_index":null,"heading":"October 8, 2001","source_url":null,"source_url_raw":null,"published":null,"source_kind":"text","excerpt":false,"year_inferred":false},{"occurrence_id":"a571c66932196eadd94b289bd15bf5977053782a2e0443febfb05429fe8e7c2d","filename":"patches-2001-2.txt","adapter":"text","source_offset":21914,"item_index":null,"heading":"October 8, 2001","source_url":null,"source_url_raw":null,"published":null,"source_kind":"text","excerpt":false,"year_inferred":false}],"year_inferred":false,"sequence":1,"slug":"2001-10-08-1","id":"2001-10-08-1"},{"patch_date":"2001-10-05","effective_date":"2001-10-05","display_date":"October 5, 2001 Press Release - Graphics Upgrades","title":"October 5, 2001 Press Release - Graphics Upgrades","year":2001,"month":10,"kind":"news","era":"EverQuest Live","expansion":"The Scars of Velious","expansion_code":"the-scars-of-velious","categories":[{"slug":"spells-aa","label":"Spells & AA"},{"slug":"zones-npcs","label":"Zones & NPCs"},{"slug":"audio-graphics","label":"Audio & Graphics"},{"slug":"expansions","label":"Expansions"}],"sections":[],"change_count":0,"word_count":405,"summary":"THE WORLD OF EVERQUEST® GOES HIGH RESOLUTION WITH EVERQUEST: THE SHADOWS OF LUCLIN™ EXPANSION -Old World Environments To Rival Luclin's Beauty With Improved Graphics- SAN DIEGO, CA - October 5, 2001- Sony Online Entertainment Inc., (SOE) announced today that EverQuest®: The Shadows of Luclin™ will…","content":"THE WORLD OF EVERQUEST® GOES HIGH RESOLUTION WITH EVERQUEST: THE \nSHADOWS OF LUCLIN™ EXPANSION\n\n-Old World Environments To Rival Luclin's Beauty With Improved \nGraphics-\n\nSAN DIEGO, CA - October 5, 2001- Sony Online Entertainment Inc., (SOE) \nannounced today that EverQuest®: The Shadows of Luclin™ will launch \nwith an additional CD-ROM featuring a complete upgrade to all textures \nthroughout the original world of Norrath and all previous expansions.\n\n\"We are pleased to make this surprise announcement,\" said Brad McQuaid, \nChief Creative Officer & Vice President, Sony Online Entertainment. \n\"EverQuest players will be amazed at the clarity the texture upgrade \nprovides and we feel the gameplay experience will be richly enhanced.\"\n\nWhen EverQuest originally shipped in 1999, the development team \nutilized 32 x 32 low-resolution pixels because of graphics technology \nat the time.

The Trivial Loot Code \nprevents magical, lore and no-drop items from appearing on the corpse. \nNormal items and coins will appear on the corpse in all cases as usual.","content_hash":"0676237df3896435707086385ef7ab5af5f95fbe38435d49d4f7c338b8fee32e","source_files":["patches-2001-2.txt","patches_1999-2008_combined.md","patches_1999-2010_combined.txt"],"source_titles":["September 30, 2001"],"source_url":null,"source_urls":[],"occurrence_count":3,"source_occurrences":[{"occurrence_id":"63be408ea5537310442fef579503cbd7947af37f0b366027530f4d7b729cca6b","filename":"patches_1999-2008_combined.md","adapter":"markdown","source_offset":214712,"item_index":null,"heading":"September 30, 2001","source_url":null,"source_url_raw":null,"published":null,"source_kind":"markdown","excerpt":false,"year_inferred":false},{"occurrence_id":"7d49fc133538b426d77c2b9126b5c961f241903b74f757eecc6bda8a0b89df65","filename":"patches_1999-2010_combined.txt","adapter":"text","source_offset":222705,"item_index":null,"heading":"September 30, 2001","source_url":null,"source_url_raw":null,"published":null,"source_kind":"text","excerpt":false,"year_inferred":false},{"occurrence_id":"1607eeb76356e94da89f5bab8ed861225032ecfdbdb01eaf1b96137fad0cf2e1","filename":"patches-2001-2.txt","adapter":"text","source_offset":14777,"item_index":null,"heading":"September 30, 2001","source_url":null,"source_url_raw":null,"published":null,"source_kind":"text","excerpt":false,"year_inferred":false}],"year_inferred":false,"sequence":1,"slug":"2001-09-30-1","id":"2001-09-30-1"},{"patch_date":"2001-09-25","effective_date":"2001-09-25","display_date":"September 25, 2001 3:00 am","title":"September 25, 2001 3:00 am","year":2001,"month":9,"kind":"live","era":"EverQuest Live","expansion":"The Scars of Velious","expansion_code":"the-scars-of-velious","categories":[{"slug":"bug-fixes","label":"Bug Fixes"},{"slug":"classes","label":"Classes"},{"slug":"spells-aa","label":"Spells & AA"},{"slug":"items","label":"Items"},{"slug":"zones-npcs","label":"Zones & NPCs"},{"slug":"quests-events","label":"Quests & Events"}],"sections":["Spell Changes","Item Changes","Quest Changes","Miscellaneous"],"change_count":7,"word_count":236,"summary":"Spell Changes ** We have removed the changes to bard song stacking that were made with the recent emergency patch.

A dead \nhalfling was stuck in the drainpipe and has been removed.\n\n- Fixed a long-standing bug that was causing Feign Death to fail when \nseveral characters were on the NPC's hate list along with the character \nusing Feign Death. We'd like to extend much thanks to the monk \ncommunity who helped us track this one down. Also fixed a problem with \nthe monk's 'Block' skill which inadvertantly was recapped at a lower \nthan normal skill level in recent months. Kudos to \"Faned\" of the \n\"Monkly Business\" bulletin board who brow-beat Gordon with the facts \nuntil he gave in and looked at the code :)\n\n- As announced earlier this week, the Belt of the Cenobite was made \nuseable by some inappropriate classes/races in the last patch.

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

We're not expecting a lot of corpses \nto disappear, but the fewer lying around, the less chance of them \ndisappearing.\n\nThanks.\n\n- The EverQuest Team\n\n*** Patch Message ***\n\n** Zone Changes **\n\n- Runnyeye has been changed. Something is up in Goblin land...\n\n\n** Spell and Song Changes and Bug Fixes **\n\n- We've been fixing holes in the spell stacking code. For the most part \nthe changes fix bugs that allowed tricks to get spells to stack that \nwere never intended to stack.\n\n- Increased duration on Bard Charm songs to 18 seconds from 12 seconds.\n\n- Fixed the Spell Scroll for Imbue Amber so that Erudite Clerics of \nCazic Thule can scribe it.\n\n- The casting messages for Necromancer pet summoning spells have been \nchanged to be more appropriate.\n\n** Features and Interface Changes **\n\n- The variable %t will now work with /assist. So you can use /assist %t \nif you wish. Though it should have exactly the same effect as /assist \nwithout the %t.\n\n- %r returns \"corpse\" for corpses and \"NPC\" for targeted NPCs.\n\n- Sense traps failure message text color has been changed to user color \n15 (same as other skill messages). The success message was already set \nto user color 15.\n\n- Ignore Lists now work the same way that the Friends List does. It has \nbeen expanded to 30 names per character per server. The new ignore list \nis stored in the same ini file as the friends list _<#>.ini). The first \ntime a character is created or loaded after the patch their new ignore \nlist will be a copy of the old ignore list, but will from then on be \nunique to the character.\n\n- The Alt key now works in several new situations. It will now show \nitem names when in the trade window. Because the trade items of the \nlocal player and the trading partner are so close together, the item \nnames of the trading partner will always show up unless the player \npositions their mouse pointer over the local player part of the trade \nwindow, which will cause the game to only show the local player's trade \nitem names.\n\n- The Alt key will show item names for items in your bank.\n\n- The Alt key will also pop up names for merchant items and corpse \nitems when you hold it down in merchant mode or loot mode.\n\n- The Alt key will even pop up names for items in open containers when \nheld down and the mouse cursor is over the open container window (they \ndon't show up otherwise).\n\n- The client will now automatically reject a /duel request from any \nplayer that is on your /ignore list. Some players were using this to \nannoy players that had ignored them.\n\n- You also will no longer see /consent messages from people that are on \nyour /ignore list (this was also something people were doing to annoy \npeople that had ignored them).\n\n- /who GUILD (and the GUILD must be in caps) will now show you the \nmembers of your guild in your zone. You can also specify a guild name, \nsuch as /who \"Irontoe Brigade\".\n\n- /safelock command added. /safelock will lock the EverQuest interface \n(mostly just mouse clicks, keyboard commands/movement, and most slash \ncommands) with the password that you supply to the command. You must \nuse this command a second time, supplying the same password, to unlock \nthe interface. Passwords are NOT case-sensitive. So to lock your \ninterface, you would type /safelock password. You would do the same to \nunlock it. REMEMBER: If you forget what password you typed, you will \nneed to reboot your machine.\n\n** Item Changes **\n\n- All the shields in the game that have the Ribcage graphic should now \nalso have the ribcage icon when they are in your inventory.\n\n- Tinkered Watchman helm should show up now.\n\n- Ring of Pureblood is now equipable only on your fingers instead of \nyour waist.\n\n- Grand Master's Leg Wraps and Fists of the Grand Master are now No-\nDrop. They were intended to be No-Drop when they were created. \n\n- Peacekeeper Staff and the Bug Collection box are no longer equipable. \nThere are problems that can arise when containers can be equipped, so \nwe had to disable that for these items.\n\n- Sewing Kits: No existing sewing kits are being changed with this \npatch. But from now on, kits sold on vendors will be somewhat \ndifferent. Large Sewing Kits will have 8 slots. Deluxe Sewing Kits will \nhave 10 slots and weight slightly more than the Large Sewing Kit.\n\n- Changed the color of the Kael SK quest armor from a very pretty blue-\ngreen to a more appropriate reddish-gray.\n\n** Other Stuff **\n\n- Changed the spelling of Troubador to Troubadour for the 55th level \nbard title. :)\n\n- King Tormax's spawn rate has been adjusted to be more in line with \nthat of his counterparts in Velious. This is not the sort of thing that \nwe will usually announce, as spawn times and things of that nature are \npart of the dynamic content of EverQuest. We're announcing this, \nhowever, to help avoid some confusion.\n\n\n- The EverQuest Team","content_hash":"e0a4468516ace3a8a71def3eb5165e0377e979c6521ea641ff2a4ffb6a2ce724","source_files":["patches-2001-1.txt","patches_1999-2008_combined.md","patches_1999-2010_combined.txt"],"source_titles":["May 30, 2001"],"source_url":null,"source_urls":[],"occurrence_count":3,"source_occurrences":[{"occurrence_id":"6d7db02c65506de433f9d36bdcc1d406374a596ccd7fd925cf8515e00428bd60","filename":"patches_1999-2008_combined.md","adapter":"markdown","source_offset":188507,"item_index":null,"heading":"May 30, 2001","source_url":null,"source_url_raw":null,"published":null,"source_kind":"markdown","excerpt":false,"year_inferred":false},{"occurrence_id":"32ce6d96d0ff8ca04c3f301776e03236b0823d7305583c650c720c295ba9cc70","filename":"patches_1999-2010_combined.txt","adapter":"text","source_offset":195180,"item_index":null,"heading":"May 30, 2001","source_url":null,"source_url_raw":null,"published":null,"source_kind":"text","excerpt":false,"year_inferred":false},{"occurrence_id":"00e79d52e4e979ae8f01e06d18649751e03aee4e6b3acc6a1871d6d7f47278b6","filename":"patches-2001-1.txt","adapter":"text","source_offset":70430,"item_index":null,"heading":"May 30, 2001","source_url":null,"source_url_raw":null,"published":null,"source_kind":"text","excerpt":false,"year_inferred":false}],"year_inferred":false,"sequence":1,"slug":"2001-05-30-1","id":"2001-05-30-1"},{"patch_date":"2001-05-22","effective_date":"2001-05-22","display_date":"May 22, 2001 6:30 pm","title":"May 22, 2001 6:30 pm","year":2001,"month":5,"kind":"live","era":"EverQuest Live","expansion":"The Scars of Velious","expansion_code":"the-scars-of-velious","categories":[{"slug":"ui","label":"UI"}],"sections":["Updated EQManual_Supplement"],"change_count":1,"word_count":73,"summary":"Updated EQManual_Supplement ** The EQManual_Supplement.doc and EQManual_Suppliment.txt have been updated.

So if your guild \ndoes not have ten members on Tuesday, May 15th, it will be deleted.\n\nWe're sorry for being so harsh about this rule, but there is a distinct \nlimit to the number of guilds that we can support, and the rules for \nmaintenance of a guild are clear.\n\n- The EverQuest Team","content_hash":"1b005cc20944cba49c2f38baf0a3f3a660154539a5ec978222a44a423b9a8f40","source_files":["patches-2001-1.txt","patches_1999-2008_combined.md","patches_1999-2010_combined.txt"],"source_titles":["May 8, 2001 4:30 pm"],"source_url":null,"source_urls":[],"occurrence_count":3,"source_occurrences":[{"occurrence_id":"d91d89b6fc6c715edce8151dd78fdcfc1b4e5f2b8f2eb4e786f1c9ecdc862d95","filename":"patches_1999-2008_combined.md","adapter":"markdown","source_offset":185480,"item_index":null,"heading":"May 8, 2001 4:30 pm","source_url":null,"source_url_raw":null,"published":null,"source_kind":"markdown","excerpt":false,"year_inferred":false},{"occurrence_id":"12a6f90a679014b3dfbd02f2c9fddfac6d33c59929acfee08253d26987db7f12","filename":"patches_1999-2010_combined.txt","adapter":"text","source_offset":191861,"item_index":null,"heading":"May 8, 2001 4:30 pm","source_url":null,"source_url_raw":null,"published":null,"source_kind":"text","excerpt":false,"year_inferred":false},{"occurrence_id":"ca471da13d1b5cfa162bee4b31c01c6a3f96ba506628d9fe865aa831905e1b2e","filename":"patches-2001-1.txt","adapter":"text","source_offset":67111,"item_index":null,"heading":"May 8, 2001 4:30 pm","source_url":null,"source_url_raw":null,"published":null,"source_kind":"text","excerpt":false,"year_inferred":false}],"year_inferred":false,"sequence":2,"slug":"2001-05-08-2","id":"2001-05-08-2"},{"patch_date":"2001-05-08","effective_date":"2001-05-08","display_date":"May 8, 2001 3:00 am","title":"May 8, 2001 3:00 am","year":2001,"month":5,"kind":"live","era":"EverQuest Live","expansion":"The Scars of Velious","expansion_code":"the-scars-of-velious","categories":[{"slug":"bug-fixes","label":"Bug Fixes"},{"slug":"classes","label":"Classes"},{"slug":"spells-aa","label":"Spells & AA"},{"slug":"items","label":"Items"},{"slug":"zones-npcs","label":"Zones & NPCs"},{"slug":"quests-events","label":"Quests & Events"},{"slug":"ui","label":"UI"},{"slug":"pvp","label":"PvP"},{"slug":"servers","label":"Servers"},{"slug":"audio-graphics","label":"Audio & Graphics"},{"slug":"expansions","label":"Expansions"}],"sections":["PvP changes","EverQuest","Quest Changes","Bug Fixes","Item Changes","Spell Changes and Additions","Feature Additions and Changes"],"change_count":34,"word_count":1250,"summary":"PvP changes ** We have made the first of our upcoming changes to the PvP aspects of EverQuest: Consider: /Consider will only have three results when used to consider a Player Character.

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

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

Guild Officers and Leaders will be able to \ntype /guildmotd to set up a Guild Message of the Day (GMotD). From then \non any time a member of that guild logs in they will see the message \nwith the name of the message sender added at the front, so you will \nknow who sent the message. Any guild member will also be able to read \nthe GMotD by typing just /guildmotd and the message will be displayed \nagain. The GMotD will be erased if the server comes down, however. You \nwill have to reset the GMotD when the server comes back up.\n\n- /assist changed and improved. It should be much more reliable now. It \nalso will target whatever the assisted person has targeted. The \nassisted person does not need to have auto-attack on for /assist to \nwork.\n\n- Fixed a problem with /corpse that kept it from working on corpses \nthat were too far above or below you.\n\n** Skill Change **\n\n- Foraging changed so that if you are getting the hungry and thirsty \nmessages, your next successful forage will always be drink or food. We \nhave also decreased the chance of foraging fishing grubs a bit and \nincreased the chance that you will forage water.\n\n** Spell Changes **\n\n- Acumen now overwrites See Invisible.\n\n- Translocate now has the proper spell gem.\n\n** Bug Fix **\n\n- Fixed many crash problems for Windows 2000 users. This fix will most \nlikely also aid some folks that are not using Windows 2000 that are \nhaving problems.\n\n** Item Changes **\n\n- Velious racial plate helm quests have been added that will allow you \nto 'trade in' your existing helms for ones with textures. We have \ndecided to allow the players (or their characters) to chose whether \nthey wish to have the new helmet textures or to continue to use helmets \nthat show no graphics.\n\n- Five and ten charge versions of Potions of the Bone Field have been \nadded.\n\n- Kilva's Skin of Flame potion has been changed. It no longer has the \nsame effect as the Kilva's Blistering Flesh potion.\n\n- Removed the tinting from Dark Forge and Resonant armors. Tinting was \nnever really intended to be on those pieces and, frankly, they look \nbetter without it.\n\n** Miscellaneous Items **\n\n- Reduced the 'bottleneck' for getting Howling Stone keys by increasing \nthe availability of one of the quest items.\n\n- Erudite guards will now be much less friendly to Kobolds.\n\n- Vendors are once again selling the Coldain Tanner's Kit.\n\n** 'Combine' container changes **\n\nWe've made a change to 'combine' containers. In order to prevent people \nfrom accidentally destroying items, all containers with a 'combine' \nbutton will not combine any items that do not form a complete recipe. \nThis will be a huge boon to craftspeople all across Norrath. But this \nremoves the only drawback to using trade containers as backpacks. Their \nreduced weight and often greater carrying capacity made them more \ndesirable as bags, with the compensating risk that you might just lose \nsomething if you made a mistake.\n\nWe will be increasing the weight of portable 'combine' containers \nsomewhat. Where some of these containers weighed under 1 pound, they \nwill now weigh as much as 4 pounds for the largest sewing kit.\n\nAlong with this we are making a change to tailor made backpacks. In \ncase you didn't know, most tailor made packs have a built in weight \nreduction of 5%. We are raising that to 10%. We will also be displaying \nthe weight reduction of all containers with the information shown on a \nright click.\n\n- The EverQuest Team","content_hash":"35946da965218b2a80f1ed8d926fabc30b93c45a984bb02670087f8e74f91019","source_files":["patches-2001-1.txt","patches_1999-2008_combined.md","patches_1999-2010_combined.txt"],"source_titles":["April 4, 2001 3:00 am"],"source_url":null,"source_urls":[],"occurrence_count":3,"source_occurrences":[{"occurrence_id":"5902498b6e6ad3089a9c043101816ed95a532ff5524b3b48b86e491f82dc38cc","filename":"patches_1999-2008_combined.md","adapter":"markdown","source_offset":160115,"item_index":null,"heading":"April 4, 2001 3:00 am","source_url":null,"source_url_raw":null,"published":null,"source_kind":"markdown","excerpt":false,"year_inferred":false},{"occurrence_id":"06b1f44390ba23976cc09fd29f761f212eabb255c3e105301c6e2626eeeeb1eb","filename":"patches_1999-2010_combined.txt","adapter":"text","source_offset":166014,"item_index":null,"heading":"April 4, 2001 3:00 am","source_url":null,"source_url_raw":null,"published":null,"source_kind":"text","excerpt":false,"year_inferred":false},{"occurrence_id":"389da1f8b11ba021f1b1d2f813661d82765e6832719512a284dbd2e19b20340e","filename":"patches-2001-1.txt","adapter":"text","source_offset":41264,"item_index":null,"heading":"April 4, 2001 3:00 am","source_url":null,"source_url_raw":null,"published":null,"source_kind":"text","excerpt":false,"year_inferred":false}],"year_inferred":false,"sequence":2,"slug":"2001-04-04-2","id":"2001-04-04-2"},{"patch_date":"2001-04-04","effective_date":"2001-04-04","display_date":"April 4, 2001 11:30 am","title":"April 4, 2001 11:30 am","year":2001,"month":4,"kind":"live","era":"EverQuest Live","expansion":"The Scars of Velious","expansion_code":"the-scars-of-velious","categories":[],"sections":["EverQuest Classic Edition"],"change_count":1,"word_count":129,"summary":"EverQuest Classic Edition ** There is a new package for EverQuest.

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

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

Due \nto the number of changes being made, this list is primarily a summary. \nExtended descriptions of the changes and the reasoning behind them can \nbe solicited on the EverQuest Message Boards.\n\n*Spell and Skill Changes*\n\nDruids, Shaman, and Clerics:\n--- Superior Healing moved to level 51 for shamans and druids. \n--- Casting difficulty of Superior Heal reduced (less fizzles)\n--- New level 55 Druid and shaman spell, Chloroblast, similar to remedy \nfor clerics.\n--- New Druid spell at level 60, upgrade to superior healing, Natures \nTouch.\n--- Created a new spell effect for Celestial Healing, Celestial Elixir, \nand Torpor. This will allow them to stack with all other spells, save \nspells of the same type (Heal over time). Prior to this, all heal-over-\ntime spells followed the same rules as regeneration spells.\n--- Reduced the casting difficulty of Remedy.\n--- Lowered recast time on Wake of Karana\n\nPaladins:\n--- Added Endure Magic spell at level 30\n--- Added Resist Magic at 55\n--- Moved Guard spell from 49 to 39\n--- Moved Armor of Faith from 53 to 49\n--- Added New level 53 paladin spell: Divine Glory\n--- Added New level 59 spell: Celestial Cleansing \n--- Defense skill cap made exactly same as warriors\n--- Added Yaulp 4 at 60 and enhanced.\n\nShadowknights:\n--- Removed artificially inflated mana cost for pre level 50 lifetap \nspells. Please note that post-50 lifetap spells never had an inflated \nmana cost.\n--- Moved Spirit Tap to level 55\n--- Moved Drain Spirit to level 57\n--- Added Drain Soul at level 60\n--- Grim Aura added at level 22 and enhanced\n--- Moved Shieldskin to level 34\n--- Pet buff added at 29\n--- Added Diamondskin spell at 59\n--- Defense skill cap made exactly same as warriors\n--- Due to the recent improvements to \"Harmtouch\", it is doing much \nmore damage than it would before and unbalances PvP. As such it will \nnow do less damage in PvP (68% of PvE, down from 80%). In addition, \nShadowknights on the PvP servers were routinely killing themselves via \nnon-XP losing means and attacking other players with Harmtouch \nimmediately upon respawn. In order to address this situation, Harmtouch \nis no longer automatically \"recharged\" by death on the PvP Servers.\n--- The \"Lifeleech\" discipline now increases hit probability in \naddition to its other effects.\n\n\nRangers:\n--- Added Endure Cold at 22\n--- Added Skin Like Nature at 59\n--- Added FireFist at 22\n--- Moved Bramblecoat from 49 to 39\n--- Added Spikecoat at 49\n--- Added resist cold at 55\n--- Added Panic Animal at 22\n--- Moved Jolt to 51\n--- Moved Spirt of Wolf from 39 to 30\n--- Added Cinder Jolt (fire-based Jolt spell) at 55.\n--- Offense and weapons skill made identical to warriors\n--- Added See Invisible at 39\n\nBards:\n--- Added new level 20 Bard Song: Cassindra`s Chant of Clarity\n--- Bards defensive skill made exactly the same as a warriors\n--- Changed it so that the bard spell Denon's Desperate Dirge to \nincrease damge by 10pts per level over 45. Also made it so the spell \ndoes 20% more damage using the Puretone discipline.\n\nMagicians:\n--- Added new level 59 spell: Valiant Companion\n--- Added new level 39 spell: Summon Companion\n--- Rain spells no longer count pets against total number of entities \nthey can damage (all rain spells)\n--- Added level 29 spell for Mages: Expedience\n\nEnchanters: \n--- Lowered recast time on Visions of Grandeur\n\n*Bug Fixes*\n\n--- Aggressive and Defensive disciplines have been fixed. Before they \nwould only affect damage taken and not affect damage dealt out. Now \nthey affect both as designed.\n--- Fixed the bug with going to the spellbook when the inventory window \nwas up in fullview mode. It should work now. Also, fixed a minor bug \nwhere if you were in normal mode and tried to go to the spellbook from \ninventory via /book or the keymapped key it would not go, and it would \nmake the done button not work properly for the inventory mode.\n--- Fixed NPC melee ranges to be the same as for player characters. In \nother words, if you can hit the NPC, he can hit you. This bug was a \nproblem with one dragon that could be hit, but could not hit back.\n--- Fixed a bug that made it impossible to \"Call of the Hero\" someone \nout of water or lava.\n--- Fixed the proc on the Chilled Scythe. Owners of this item will need \nto swap it out with a GM.\n--- The Kromzek Surveyor Scope now fits in the \"Ranged\" slot rather \nthan the \"Ammo\" slot as before.\n--- Fixed a bug that caused the two single-target bard snare songs to \nbreak too soon in some cases.\n--- Fixed a bug whereby NPCs would consider the race of a player prior \nto the loading of the faction table upon zoning or logging in. This \nwould cause people to be attacked by things that normally like them. \n--- Players should now be properly removed from the group regardless of \nhow they exit the game.\n\n*Misc Changes*\n\n--- Added text labels to the fullview inventory window \"body\" slots \n(Available only to Velious Subscribers)\n--- Added the ability to toggle those labels on and off. Use \n/invwinlabels [on/off] (or no arguments to toggle). This is saved in \nthe eqclient.ini file in the [Defaults] section with the key \nInvWinLabels=[TRUE/FALSE]\n--- Increased the pre-50 bind-wounds cap for rogues and warriors.\n--- Pickpocket now works to a max of 5 levels below you, or level \n45...whichever is greater... You can pickpocket NPC up to level 55 if \nyou are level 60. \n--- The mouse pointer will now move at a multiple of its normal speed \nwhen you adjust the MousePointerSpeedMod setting in the eqclient.ini \nfile. You can set that multiple on-the-fly with the /mousespeed \ncommand.\n--- The \"AutoHelp\" feature that can be set under the options menu has \nbeen enhanced. Spell casters in particular might want to turn it on and \ntry depressing the ALT key. It's perfect for refreshing your memory in \nregards to your spell lineup.\n--- If you are interrupted while trying to cast a spell that uses a \ncomponent, you will no longer use that component. Jewelers should be \nvery pleased with this change.\n--- Reduced the casting difficulty (fizzle rate) of all spells over \nlevel 56. Spells have always previously been set up so that it's \nusually more efficient to use a spell from a previous circle than the \ncurrent one. The formula did not take into account the fact that \neveryone stops at 60.\n--- Changed it so that players will now lose experience when they die \nin the Arena in Kael Drakkel. It seems that people were fighting giants \nin that arena in order to avoid the death penalty.\n--- Naked PC corpses that have experience and are above level 30 will \nnow last 3 hours instead of 3 minutes.\n--- Avatar and Focus of Spirit should now stack\n--- Raised the pre and post 50 bind wounds cap for paladins, clerics, \ndruids, and shaman.\n\n*Item Changes*\n\n--- The effect on the \"Frost Giant Beard\" can now be used at 35th level \nrather than level 50.\n--- The Wurmslayer will now fit in a bag. \n--- Iksar can now use the Ashenbone Shield\n--- Chandged Crystallized Shadow leggings to rentable\n--- Changed Gorilla Hide Leggings to show up as leather, was cloth \nbefore\n--- Changed Envy from a piercing weapon to a shield so players could \nBash with it. Envy is a parrying dagger.\n--- The Shralok Pack is now LORE. It was set to pending-lore some time \nago.\n--- The Guardian and Sentry Armor bracers are no longer LORE.\n--- Donal's Breastplate can now only be used on any individual target \nonce every 7.5 minutes. This addresses some of the balance issues that \nbecame apparent given the existence of a mana-free complete heal.\n\n*Trades and Crafts*\n\n--- Fixed the Gator Roll baking recipe.\n--- Repaired the notetext instructions for creating a Mixing Bowl with \npottery. \n--- Repaired Holgresh Fur Cap and Holgresh Fur Moccasins tailoring \nrecipes.\n--- Made it so that the file is returned in addition to the hammer when \na character fails to forge any of the various chain jointings.\n--- Repaired Recipe for Enchanted Tier`Dal Adamantite Bracelet\n--- Made it so that the Dwarven Smithy Hammer is returned on a failure \nto forge Brellium Chain Jointing.\n--- Repaired Field Plate Boots smithing recipe\n--- Changed the name of the smithed Enchanted Cabilis Scale armor to \nImbued Cabilis Scale armor for naming convention reasons.\n--- Repaired the recipe for converting 3 Enchanted Large Adamantite \nBricks into 1 Enchanted Block of Adamantite in the Tier`Dal Forge, it \nwas previously only possible in the Oggok Forge.\n--- Made it so that the Bread Tin is returned upon a failure to bake \nbread.\n--- Mithril and Velium Bonings will be stackable.\n--- Mithril Studs will be stackable.\n\n*NPC AI - Hate*\n\nWe've made a number of changes to NPC AI, specifically to the section \ndealing with target-selection, or what's commonly referred to as \n\"Hate\". It is not so much that NPCs react differently to hate now than \nbefore, but that we've changed the way that hate is awarded. \n\n--- We reduced the amount of hate that can be caused by a proc. Due to \nthe high proc rates at upper levels, the amount of hate generated from \nprocs, and the spells that were selected for those procs, made keeping \nthe attention of the creature much too easy a task for the tank. \nSimply, it nearly eliminated the challenge of keeping a foes attention \nat levels above 50.\n\n--- We've capped the amount of hate that can be awarded to most \ncasters, specifically for debuff-type spells like the Malo and Tash \nseries. The hate calculation for these spells takes into account the \nnumber of hitpoints of the NPC and did not \"play nice\" with the \nincreased HP limit of Velious. It explains why Enchanters, for \ninstance, would complain that casting a Tash spell would lead to near-\ninstant death.\n\n--- We've redressed the amount of hate generated by heal spells. \nPreviously, and *partly* due to a bug, the high level heal spells such \nas superior heal or complete heal would generate no more hate than \ngreater heal. In fact, so little hate was generated by these spells \nthat it made controlling NPC aggression trivial. Heal spells will now \ngenerate an amount of hate more in line with the number of hitpoints \nactually healed. Due to our desire to leave the lower level game more \nor less untouched, two separate caps have been placed for targets level \n50 or below, and 51 or above. Heal spells will generate significantly \nless hate for targets below level 51 than those at or above that level.\n\n--- We've also re-evaluated ways that players have to reduce their own \nhate. While spells in place to allow this are OK, the Evade skill \n(possessed by rogues) let them out of their damage too easily. A rogue \nthat successfully evaded would immediately drop to a level of hate \nlower than someone who was in the awareness range, but hadn't done \nanything to really upset the creature such as damage it or heal its \nfoe. This problem was exacerbated by the increase of the size of the \nhate list implemented with Velious. \n\n*Tracking*\n\nTracking now works in full view for all classes that can use it, and \nsports a nifty scroll bar that allows players to see everything on the \nlist. In addition, the /trackplayer setting is now saved to the \neqclient.ini file.\n\nThe following options have been put in for Rangers only:\n\n--- /tracksort \n--- /trackfilter \n\n*/tracksort options beginning with R are reverse order\n\n*Hybrid Casting*\n\nHybrids that cast spells in combat were taking double penalties at \nhigher levels. The casting times of their spells went up, and the \namount of melee damage they do per second went up. This results is \nhaving to take longer to cast spells, and losing more damage/second for \neach second taken in casting. To help offset this, Rangers, Paladins \nand Shadowknights casting non-beneficial spells that have casting times \ngreater than or equal to 3 seconds, now get a 3 % reduction in casting \ntime for each level over 50. 3% at 51, 6% at 52, etc., to 30% at 60. \nAgain, this applies only to non-beneficial spells. \n\n- The EverQuest Team","content_hash":"ef65d9b679a4d99eb5fa33d4228a636adf6fcb1a588618c6f84ec783e7dee5e9","source_files":["patches-2001-1.txt","patches_1999-2008_combined.md","patches_1999-2010_combined.txt"],"source_titles":["February 21, 2001 3:00 am"],"source_url":null,"source_urls":[],"occurrence_count":3,"source_occurrences":[{"occurrence_id":"67f17767bd4ff6721404e09ccf48ee3a8c4d4c3db9aa08b49b4db7b372d32efb","filename":"patches_1999-2008_combined.md","adapter":"markdown","source_offset":130019,"item_index":null,"heading":"February 21, 2001 3:00 am","source_url":null,"source_url_raw":null,"published":null,"source_kind":"markdown","excerpt":false,"year_inferred":false},{"occurrence_id":"fb66da13fe6e64299a6e02b7963735b0c1c341bd60e0a7d6eea070549b30e1ff","filename":"patches_1999-2010_combined.txt","adapter":"text","source_offset":135231,"item_index":null,"heading":"February 21, 2001 3:00 am","source_url":null,"source_url_raw":null,"published":null,"source_kind":"text","excerpt":false,"year_inferred":false},{"occurrence_id":"8c81fb4682872f591287684c835364798c97592371b57fdb79ba4b6968ec3f17","filename":"patches-2001-1.txt","adapter":"text","source_offset":10481,"item_index":null,"heading":"February 21, 2001 3:00 am","source_url":null,"source_url_raw":null,"published":null,"source_kind":"text","excerpt":false,"year_inferred":false}],"year_inferred":false,"sequence":1,"slug":"2001-02-21-1","id":"2001-02-21-1"},{"patch_date":"2001-01-31","effective_date":"2001-01-31","display_date":"January 31, 2001 3:00 am","title":"January 31, 2001 3:00 am","year":2001,"month":1,"kind":"live","era":"EverQuest Live","expansion":"The Scars of Velious","expansion_code":"the-scars-of-velious","categories":[],"sections":["File Download"],"change_count":1,"word_count":21,"summary":"File Download* The file just downloaded contains some new art for use in game in the future.

We are \nalmost sold out so hurry and visit \nhttp://everquest.station.sony.com/fanfaire/fanfaire.html before you \nmiss your chance to attend this event!\n\n*Patch Day*\n\nThe primary focus of today's patch is to implement changes noted in the \nnew Producer's Letter which can be found at \nhttp://everquest.station.sony.com/news/letter.shtml\n\nIt is HIGHLY RECOMMENDED that you read the Producer's Letter before \nplaying EverQuest. It contains some unprecedented and exciting \nenhancements to gameplay.\n\nIn addition to these changes, the following changes have been \nimplemented:\n\n*Bug Fixes*\n\n- Fixed a bug that caused \"root\" and \"snare\" type spells to function \nincorrectly when stacked. They should now stack properly.\n- Fixed a bug that negated the \"instrument modifier\" for bards using \nSelo's, causing them to run slower than they otherwise would. \n- Fixed a bug that allowed two or more spells that grant levitation to \nstack. Levitation spells should not stack.\n- The \"Track Corpse\" spell now works.\n- Tracked down and eliminated several bugs that were causing a very \nsmall percentage of people to crash when zoning or upon entering the \ngame.\n- Fixed a problem with some Ulthork armor that caused it to disappear \non death if the wearer was of extremely low level.\n- Tserrina's Whip has been fixed. If you received one prior to today's \npatch, you will need to trade out your whip with a GM in order to get \none that works correctly.\n- Last week's patch attempted to fix Celestial Elixir, Celestial \nHealing, and Torpor, so that they would stack another similar spell, \nunintentionally causing it to stop stacking with standard regeneration \nspells. This has been fixed. The downside to this fix is that these \nspells will now overwrite the \"Call of Bones\" series. As the three \nformer spells are cast to save a character's life, this solution \nappears to be the most beneficial for all of those involved. \n- The stronger /lootnodrop options will no longer prompt you for \nconfirmation when looting your own corpse. It is highly suggested that \neveryone reset their option to the strongest security available: \n/lootnodrop ALWAYS (always ask for confirmation).\n- Added some code to address an issue reported by a few players, that \nbeing that an NPC named \"Ragefire\" would die and not leave a corpse. \nThough we were unable to reproduce this problem in testing, the code we \nadded should function as a catch-all for this problem. Please be sure \nto let us know how this goes.\n\n\n*Changes/Enhancements*\n\n- While not mentioned in the Producer's Letter, the Zone Experience \nModifier has also been increased in Guk (guktop), by roughly 12%.\n- \"Lay on Hands\" has been enhanced again to heal more hitpoints.\n- Overlooked in the last patch message, new spells were made available \nto Rangers and Paladins in the upper levels. \n- \"Voice of the Berserker\", a beneficial spell, no longer drains mana \nover the duration of the spell.\n- The maximum duration of \"Strength of Nature\" has been increased.\n- A new spell for magicians is now available in game.\n- The \"Shield of the Eighth\" spell will now last a number of minutes \nequal to your level.\n- You can now use the arrow and enter keys to select characters in the \ncharacter select screen. In addition, the last character you chose will \nbe automatically hilighted when entering that screen. This value is \nstored in the EQCLIENT.INI file as \"LastCharSel=0-7\"\n- The ranger's \"Trueshot\" discipline has had its damage increased after \nanalyzing data from its fix last week. Prior to the last patch, all \nbows, while under the discipline, were hitting as if they were 45dmg \nbows regardless of the delay. Last week's patch fixed it so that damage \nwas based on the damage of the bow. This weeks patch increases damage \nbonuses in relation to delay (longer delays yield better damage \nbonuses). \n- You can now reverse the left and right channels on your speakers \nusing the /reversesound command. This should be very useful for those \nwho have had to place their speakers backwards due to cable lengths.\n- Made some improvements to Paw, Mistmoore, and The Hole, to address \nsome concerns brought forth by the players. Both zones had some \nproblems that would cause them to be exceedingly difficult in some \ncases.\n\n- The EverQuest Team","content_hash":"ebf3f9a99edb4186be9e8cecd08612891a1d80b3c0971722937f5e96002a49b1","source_files":["patches-2001-1.txt","patches_1999-2008_combined.md","patches_1999-2010_combined.txt"],"source_titles":["January 17, 2001 3:00 am"],"source_url":null,"source_urls":[],"occurrence_count":3,"source_occurrences":[{"occurrence_id":"f5b8dbadd5df54649b9672165623ad1e370226d2e94ff57833a63e156d6bb82f","filename":"patches_1999-2008_combined.md","adapter":"markdown","source_offset":124232,"item_index":null,"heading":"January 17, 2001 3:00 am","source_url":null,"source_url_raw":null,"published":null,"source_kind":"markdown","excerpt":false,"year_inferred":false},{"occurrence_id":"9e79683d436c2065c14cfb04e4b543d8ba6270edca2c73fb017fb6adf97143e6","filename":"patches_1999-2010_combined.txt","adapter":"text","source_offset":129154,"item_index":null,"heading":"January 17, 2001 3:00 am","source_url":null,"source_url_raw":null,"published":null,"source_kind":"text","excerpt":false,"year_inferred":false},{"occurrence_id":"6fe65ec6d69459acd3ea7a396920b8a241e095e099f081333ab210dd785bcf41","filename":"patches-2001-1.txt","adapter":"text","source_offset":4404,"item_index":null,"heading":"January 17, 2001 3:00 am","source_url":null,"source_url_raw":null,"published":null,"source_kind":"text","excerpt":false,"year_inferred":false}],"year_inferred":false,"sequence":1,"slug":"2001-01-17-1","id":"2001-01-17-1"},{"patch_date":"2001-01-09","effective_date":"2001-01-09","display_date":"January 9, 2001 3:00 am","title":"January 9, 2001 3:00 am","year":2001,"month":1,"kind":"live","era":"EverQuest Live","expansion":"The Scars of Velious","expansion_code":"the-scars-of-velious","categories":[{"slug":"bug-fixes","label":"Bug Fixes"},{"slug":"classes","label":"Classes"},{"slug":"spells-aa","label":"Spells & AA"},{"slug":"items","label":"Items"},{"slug":"zones-npcs","label":"Zones & NPCs"},{"slug":"quests-events","label":"Quests & Events"},{"slug":"tradeskills","label":"Tradeskills"},{"slug":"servers","label":"Servers"}],"sections":["Patch Day","Disciplines","Spells","Miscellaneous","Root and Snare","Looting NODROP Items"],"change_count":20,"word_count":683,"summary":"Patch Day*** We're happy to present today's patch, which focuses primarily on addressing issues that have been brought forth by EverQuest players.

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