During our Community Summit this last summer, and in \nmany subsequent discussions, we have heard the recurring desire to find \na way to ease the frustrations associated with this backflagging. \n\nWhile the issue is not as simple as removing flags altogether (we feel \nflags are necessary for the zones they are currently attached to), we \nhave looked into ways that we can reduce the frustrations of \nbackflagging and feel that we have arrived at a fair and equitable \nsolution, which is detailed below. \n\n- A new implementation of the 85/15 rule has been introduced into \nPlanes of Power zones including the Plane of Time. This should resolve \nthe outstanding problems that occur from time to time with the current \n85/15 implementation. \n\n- The new 85/15 has also been introduced for the locked zones in Gates \nof Discord. \n\n- An alternate means of flagging guild mates for locked content in \nPlanes of Power and Gates of Discord has been implemented that will \nallow you to flag raid members for the zone you are in by completing \nraid content within that zone. \n\nThe implementation varies slightly from zone to zone to fit the story \nand nature of the zone, but in general will involve killing a raid \ntarget within that zone, looting an item, and completing a single group \nquest to change that item into a zone flag. This only applies to zones \nthat don't already have a single group task or system to gain access. \n\nAA Changes \n___________________________\n\n- Reduced the cost of many Gates AAs. Players will receive a refund \nequal to the difference on AAs that now have a lower cost. * \n\n- Changed the monk AA Crippling Strike to an activated ability that \ndoes an eagle strike attack as well as a snare. \n\n- Changed the monk AA Stunning Kick to an activated ability that does a \nround kick attack as well as a stun. \n\n- Changed the monk AA Eye Gouge to an activated ability that does a \ntiger claw attack as well as reduces the targets offensive ability. \n\n- Due to major changes in how these work, AA points for Crippling \nStrike, Stunning Kick, and Eye Gouge have been refunded. \n\n- Reduced the reuse time of the Ranger AAs Frost Arrow and Flame Arrow \nto 3 minutes. * \n\n- Hobble of Spirits will now stack with the Beastlord's proc buffs. * \n\n- Fixed problem with the Beastlord AA Bestial Alignment where if you \nhad maxed buffs this AA would not reset if it did not take. \n\n- Duration enhancement focuses and AAs should now increase the duration \nof pet buffs. \n\n- If your stored AA's go above 30, they will no longer be set to 30 \nwhen you zone. However, you should still not be able to gain more than \n30 unless you get a refund, get the AA from a GM, or get an AA from a \nscript. * \n\n- Fixed an issue with Half Elf Paladins of Tunare and the Origin AA. * \n\n- If your character was created before EQ started storing starting \nlocation data, when you log into the game you will now be prompted to \nchoose your home city from a list of valid starting locations for your \ncharacter. You will only need to do this once and once this has been \nset, it cannot be changed. This will correct the problems with the \nOrigin AA not returning some characters to their expected home city. \n\nZone and NPC Changes \n___________________________ \n\n- Hot Spots have been moved (level ranges are approximate): * \nShadeweaver’’s Thicket 1-30 \nKurn’s Tower 10-25 \nUnrest 15-30 \nCrystal Caverns 25-35 \nSolusek’s Eye 25-45 \nKatta Castellum 30-60 \nLower Guk 35-55 \nNagafen’s Lair 40-55 \nUmbral Plains 50-60 \n\n- Respawn time for the bosses in Tacvi has been increased from 3 to 5 \ndays. \n\n- Some Tacvi loot has been upgraded. Bosses now drop more items per \nkill and some all new items have been added to the zone. * \n\n- An alternate entrance into Tacvi has been added in Txevu that will \nallow guilds to bypass the Zun’Muram after they have defeated him at \nleast once. Guilds that have previously defeated the Zun’Muram will \nneed to do so at least once more before they can use the new entrance. * \n\n- Gilipus of Ak`Anon has joined the Beta Neutral Faction. You will now \nbe able to complete his quest without having to raise Gem Choppers \nFaction. \n\n- The 3 Tormentors in the Jelvan event now share hatelist when idle or \naggro. Anyone that is on one Tormentor's hatelist, but not on the other \n2 Tormentor's hatelist will be added. This should make it difficult (if \nnot impossible) to avoid AOEs. \n\n- Modified the Warden Hanvar event, all guards should appear in their \nappointed places. \n\n- Fixed a bug in Anguish that could make Warden Hanvar unkillable. \n\n- Clicking on the door to Anguish while having the Seal: Mastery of All \non your person will now prompt red text indicating your flag has been \ngranted. \n\n- The respawn of Globes of Discordant Energy are now tracked on the \nevent timer for Anguish. The method for obtaining the Globes has not \nchanged. \n\n- The pile of stones that was used as a secondary zone between Dranik \nand Bloodfields has been removed. There is now an actual zoneline \nthere. \n\n- Plane of Justice - previously, you could not click the red teleports \nto leave the Seventh Hammer's room unless the Seventh Hammer was dead \n(or not up). This has been changed so you can leave the room as long as \nit is not aggro. If you click on a portal while he is aggro, you should \nget a message and remain in the room. \n\n- Grennet Stormhand in North Qeynos is no longer a task master since he \nis part of a quest. His task master job has been taken over by Jorren \nBoxmover. \n\n- Increased the maximum duration for all Labyrinth Trials from 1 hour \nto 2 hours. When an event is successfully completed, the instance will \nshut down in 30 minutes. If it is failed, the instance will shut down \nin 5 minutes. \n\n- Changed the reclusive Girplan event in Bloodfields so that each NPC \nin the sequence stays up for 15 minutes instead of 3 minutes before \ndepopping. \n\n- Elemental NPCs are once again Charmable in Bastion of Thunder. \n\nEpic Alterations \n___________________________\n\n- Updated some text to clarify what is needed for the bard epic 2.0. * \n\n- Part of the rogue epic that could be skipped has been repaired as \nthis was not intended to be possible. \n\n- The zonewide shout that occurs when killing base pop NPCs in the \nspecial instance of Vxed for the paladin epic has now been removed. \n\n- Added another check to the monk epic to make sure that the monk \nlooting the item also has the Mark of Justice needed to access the 7th \nHammer's area. \n\n- More details regarding the combine for the Beastlord Epic 2.0 have \nbeen added to the text. * \n\n- Fixed the hand in to Uisima for the Ranger Epic 1.5. \n\n- Added a hint to the Druid Epic 2. * \n\n- In the Hider Event in Frontier Mountains for the Druid Epic 1.5, the \ngoblins should teleport a bit less frequently. * \n\n- Additional lore has been added to the rogue epic 2.0. * \n\n- Moved the Dark Huntress from Mistmoore to the Tower of Frozen Shadow. \n\n- Changed a few of Lirprin's dialogues to hint at where the last few \nsteps are that players are missing. * \n\n- Arly Golyeck in Paludal caverns will now accept bribes from half-\nelves, or those that are in half-elven illusion while also wearing a \nBurnoose of the Halfbreed. \n\nTradeskill Changes \n___________________________ \n\n- The Tradeskill window will now allow up to 500 favorites (up from \n100). * \n\n- The drop rate of spiderling silk has been increased, as there are \nmany new combines that require this item as a component. * \n\n- The Rune of Zephyr should now drop off of the appropriate level of \nNPC’s. * \n\n- Several Tradeskill recipes have had their missing ingredients added \nto the game. These items will now drop off of appropriate NPC’s. * \n\n- Increased the drop rate of Tae Ew Scales. * \n\n- Increased the drop rate of Putrescent Blood. * \n\n- Made several quest-related combines \"Learnable\". * \n\n- Fixed a few grammatical issues with the \"Forge of Icewell Arms\" book. \n\n- Fixed an issue with one of the Abysmal Sea tradeskill books (The \nBeauty of a Simple Stone). It should now be able to be read. \n\n- Fixed the recipe for the Imbued Northman Kite Shield (Rallos). \n\n- Fixed the research recipe for Malosini, it should now combine \nproperly. \n\n- Fixed the recipe for Tuna Rice Surprise, it will now return the Wok \non success. \n\n- Fixed the Large Sandblasted Steel Girth, it is now usable by the \nappropriate races. \n\n- Fixed the Sandblasted Ringmail Bracelet, it is now usable by the \nappropriate races. \n\n- Fixed the multiple-recipes for Vegetable Oil, they will now return \nthe correct yields. \n\n- Fixed the disparity in between the cast-times on the various \"Greater \nElixir of Concentration\" potions. \n\n- Added the Blood Treated Kaniz Hide to the game. \n\n- Added a recipe for players to create a package of vegetables. * \n\n- Added a \"Fully Charged Gnomish Vanishing Device\" to the game. * \n\n- Added LDoN Foraged items to the Interactive Objects in all LDoN zones \n(this includes the foraged alchemy components). * \n\n- Removed the lore tag from the Smithing Chisel. * \n\n- Taught Barbarians how to make Large Leather Gorgets and Pants. * \n\n- Evaluated the PoP Smithing disparity between plate and chain. * \n1. One block of ore will now yield two sheets of metal. * \n2. Removed the Chain Jointing requirement from the combine. It now \nrequires one Superb Leather Padding instead. * \n\nItem, Spell, Discipline and Skill Changes \n___________________________ \n\n- Auto range attack implemented, no longer will it be necessary to \nrange attack manually - /autofire is a toggle command that will fire \nyour ranged weapon until you run out of ammunition, turn on autoattack \nto switch to melee combat, or use the /autofire command again. * \n\n- /melody ability implemented for bards - To use /melody, type /melody \n. The numbers are the same numbers you would use for the /cast command. \nThe melody will repeat the songs in the specified order until a note is \nmissed due to an interruption. * \n\n- Modified Mirrored Mask, so it is no longer no rent and poof on death, \nhowever the click effect only works inside Anguish. \n\n- Increased the chance on the Cleave effects to affect DPS as they were \noriginally intended. \n\n- Fixed a bug with the Frenzy of Conquest benefit. \n\n- No-rent containers no longer poof on login if they contain items. \nThey instead change into an unenchanted container with the same number \nof slots, and a chat message notifies the player. * \n\n- Changed the Mark of Justice to take the player's group instead of \njust the player when attempting to engage The 7th Hammer. * \n\n- Cryston, Staff of the Riftnow has the focus of Quickening of the \nIkaav. \n\n- Dragorn Head Statue Piece and Dragorn Torso Statue Piece are now very \nlarge and can fit in bags. \n\n- Clear Rock and A Large Rock are now very large and can fit in bags. \n\n- Polished Stone of Renewal can now be used by berserkers. * \n\n- Berserker: Hastened War Cry has been fixed. \n\n- Bards will stop playing songs when feign death effects hit them (some \nNPC encounters do this). \n\n- Players are no longer able to have Form of the Great Bear and a mount \non at the same time. \n\n- Holyforge will now increase your chance to slay undead, and if you \nhave the Slay Undead AA you will have an even greater chance of a slay \nwith Holyforge. * \n\n- The spell Nature's Blight was not increasing the damage as stated and \nshould be working as intended now. * \n\n- Fixed a bug with haste items and haste augments. Their effects were \nstacking when they shouldn't have. It will now only take the greatest \nhaste effect from the item including augments. \n\n- When combining the aegis of chaotic worship with the soul temper and \na flask of water, you will receive the temper and the aegis of chaotic \nworship back if you don't have the correct flags instead of just the \naegis back. \n\n- The Monk's feign death success rate has been improved. It was \npreviously capped at 95% at 100 skill and now it ramps up the success \nrate for higher skill levels. * \n\n- Fixed several inconsistencies with pets affected by focus items. \n\n- Increased the mana regen gained by Elemental Simulacrum. \n\n- Touch of the Devourer was changed to allow partial damage when it is \nresisted. This is an increase in the overall damage of the spell. \n\n- New items are available on the PvP point merchants. * \n\n- Might of the Wild Spirits and Savage Wildcaller's Blessing should now \nstack better. \n\n- The effect on the Wristband of Secrets no longer works on other \nplayers. \n\n- Increased the focus % of the following effects: \nHastening of the Ikaav \nQuickening of the Ikaav \nAlacrity of the Ikaav \n\n- Increased the potency of Pure Spirit. \n\n- Nature's Balance should now only remove beneficial spells from the \ntarget. \n\n- Removed the scaling focus mods from the following spells: \nForce of Ikkibi \nOrder of Trushar \nSylvan Anger \nTaelosian Geomancy \nBurning Night \nAnger of Taelosia \nSylvan Kindle \nClear Fire \n\n- The the class-specific quest chest armors from Omens of War now have \na .8 second cast time. \n\n- The pre-nerf LDoN armor sets can now be sold back to the merchants, \nlike other LDoN items. They are the versions with two type 2 slots and \none type 3 slot (instead of one each of types 1, 2, and 3). These items \nare those with the following in the item name: \nRoyal Attendant * of Sand \nIncorporeal * of the Specter \nMucus-Drenched * \nImmortal's Bloodied * \n\nMiscellaneous \n___________________________\n\n- Multiple procs on a pet are now working properly. * \n\n- A resource leak in the graphics engine was corrected and we have seen \na measurable improvement in client stability as a result. \n\n- The sky system now influences the ambient lighting. \n\n- Animated traps such as the ones in soldunga/b are now detected by the \ncollision system and will cause a small amount of damage. \n\n- You can once again target things on the other side of a water surface \nand other passable surfaces. \n\n- Added code to check and validate specialization skills. If the values \nare not legal, the player will be informed why they are not legal and \nthey are reset. \n\n- Added popup confirmation dialog when you attempt to give an augmented \nitem to an NPC. * \n\n- Added optional parameters to /book command -- /book open, /book \nclose. * \n\n- Fixed bug where a player who had more than 2 million plat in his \ninventory was unable to purchase anything from a vendor or trader. \n\n- /yell messages are no longer displayed if the yelling player is in \nyour ignore list. * \n\n- Some models that were scaled dramatically could cause the collision \nsystem to fail, resulting in warps to ceiling and other strange side \neffects. For example the vases in dranikcatacombsa at 1000,-1011, 0 \nwould always cause players to be pinned to the ceiling due to this bug. \n\n- Players standing on the lip of an edge should now slide down off them \nmore smoothly. \n\n- There have been some optimizations to the collision system. You \nshould see improved performance in zones with very large stationary \nobjects (potimea, bloodfields, etc). \n\n- Fixed a number of small bugs in the zoom camera behavior. These fixes \ninclude removing the possibility of having the first mousewheel click \ncausing the camera to bounce back into first person, a bug that could \ncause the camera to get stuck “one click” out of first person, as well \nas smoothing out the camera motion a bit. \n\n- Scrolling to third person and tabbing to another window should no \nlonger cause the screen to bounce back and forth. \n\n- Summoning mounts in certain places should no longer cause players to \nfall through geometry. \n\n- Getting out of water should be much easier to do. * \n\n- Mounts are no longer dismissed when zoning. * \n\n- Spell scribe timers (putting a new spell into the spell book) now \ntake only 1 second. \n\n- Players should no longer experience 20k falls when standing on cliff \nedges while suffering from low frame rate. \n\n- The bounding radius for small races was too tall, preventing them \nfrom accessing some areas. For example, gnomes couldn't enter the small \nhuts in Steamfont. This was a global problem that is now fixed; that is \njust one example. \n\n- Weather effects are now working properly when the Wake of Karana \nspell is used. Additionally, sounds related to starting \n\n- /who commands now display both class title and base class name for \nplayers over level 50, e.g. \"Bedazzler (Enchanter)\" * \n\n- Fixed a bug that caused a lot of writing to the dbg.txt file during a \nraid. \n\nZone Revamps - Mistmoore (Legends) \n___________________________\n\nIn Mistmoore's Catacombs, the servants of the Trueborn, a sect of \nvampires with Mayong Mistmoore's blood flowing through their veins, \ngrew tired of their masters throwing them into the fray against the \nNorrathian intruders. They came to desire more power for themselves. \n\nIt was not long before the first words of dissension crept through the \ncatacombs on the will of whispers. The Trueborn servants congregated in \ndark, musty halls away from the eyes of their masters and over time \ntheir numbers grew along with their ambitions. Their time had come and \nsoon they would rise up to claim their rightful place in Mistmoore \nCastle, gaining accolades from Lord Mayong Mistmoore himself for their \nbrilliance and bravery -- or so they supposed. \n\nOver several months, the Trueborn traitors recruited an army to their \ncause. On a black night as the moon was swallowed by a thick veil over \nFaydwer, they struck, killing their masters and leading their army \ntoward Mistmoore Castle. They slaughtered all in their path and many \nmasters of the Scions sect, the Trueborn's rival blood-children of \nMayong, were destroyed that night. \n\nThe fierce wave of the lesser Trueborn rushed into the cellars of \nMistmoore Castle without detection. Unbeknownst to all but the \nservants, Norrath's adventurers had uncovered winding caves beneath the \nsurface that bypassed the castle’s defenses. In a matter of hours, the \ncastle was overrun and the servants of the Trueborn declared themselves \nthe true Children of Mistmoore. \n\nSince taking control of the castle, many Children have busied \nthemselves repairing the damage from the battle while others continue \nto seek the magical ore that was uncovered in the catacombs. \n\nThey all prepare, waiting for the day their master returns to grant \nthem glory. \n\n\nZone Revamps - Splitpaw (Legends) \n___________________________ \n\nFarsoth Mal, son of the Ishva Mal, leader of the Verishe Mal tribe, sat \nby his father’s side watching him rule his minions in Splitpaw Lair. \nHis father may have conquered this lair some years ago, but Farsoth \nbelieved they should rule far more than just one underground kingdom. \nHe grew to despise his father for his lack of ambition and many hours \nwere spent in bitter arguments between the two. The Ishva Mal grew \ntired and angry at the ceaseless challenges to his authority, gaining \nas much contempt for his son as his son had for him. \n\nDuring a particularly heated argument of growls and grisly barks, the \nIshva Mal reminded his willful son that his power was absolute and that \nhe shared his throne with no one. With one quick motion, the Ishva Mal \nbrandished his spear and sliced off his son's paw, determined that he \nwould finally win the respect he deserved from his son. But the Ishva \nMal's cruel methods would prove to be his downfall. \n\nThe Ishva Mal grew to be a greater tyrant each day, so much so that the \nVerishe Mal mages and warriors secretly formed the Council of Nine to \nchallenge his rule. Farsoth saw the plans the Verishe Mal had in store \nfor his father, but did nothing to stop them and instead chose to use \nthem to his advantage. \n\nFarsoth learned much from the council's mages and became obsessed with \nthe summoning arts they practiced. His fascination eventually led to a \nplan that would secure the throne . . . for him. \n\nThrough all he'd learned from the Verishe Mal mages, he believed he \ncould summon a powerful entity from the Plane of Fire itself. Farsoth \nthought with such power at his side, nothing could stop him from ruling \nthe Splitpaw Lair and any lands he desired. \n\nHe prepared for weeks, researching and gathering the reagents he \nrequired and finally he set to work to summon a terrible beast to bring \nan end to his father's rule. \n\nFarsoth was distracted by his own anger, forgetting vital components as \nhe wove the spell and the unthinkable happened. Flames shot out of the \nportal that Farsoth opened and, at the same time, rocks rained down \nupon the inhabitants of the lair. Then, the portal shifted its focus \nand water flooded into the corridors, extinguishing the flames and \nwashing away the rocks. The portal shimmered once more and waves of all \ntypes of elementals poured into Splitpaw. \n\nFarsoth certainly attained part of his goal. His father was killed, but \nso to were most of the gnolls he wished to lead to greatness. \n\nNow he is a prisoner to the swarms of enraged elementals that have made \nSplitpaw Lair their new home. \n\n* Denotes a change requested by the community. \n\n- The EverQuest Team","content_hash":"cdbbb0b82e23f74b4fef7afc138b4fadea7be9899bbb10b8db0a0980ac51dc0c","source_files":["patches-2004-2.txt","patches_1999-2010_combined.txt"],"source_titles":["December 15, 2004"],"source_url":null,"source_urls":[],"occurrence_count":2,"source_occurrences":[{"occurrence_id":"30e6ce390015754869b381f8204bf8b3bf2fb9bb0a6e02623bef462135480bb6","filename":"patches_1999-2010_combined.txt","adapter":"text","source_offset":665455,"item_index":null,"heading":"December 15, 2004","source_url":null,"source_url_raw":null,"published":null,"source_kind":"text","excerpt":false,"year_inferred":false},{"occurrence_id":"ab3c8b9aaf1083410c9f3715cd6961138c8bf90e115ae7fd5a4a78a362c32817","filename":"patches-2004-2.txt","adapter":"text","source_offset":37621,"item_index":null,"heading":"December 15, 2004","source_url":null,"source_url_raw":null,"published":null,"source_kind":"text","excerpt":false,"year_inferred":false}],"year_inferred":false,"sequence":1,"slug":"2004-12-15-1","id":"2004-12-15-1"},{"patch_date":"2004-10-25","effective_date":"2004-10-25","display_date":"October 25, 2004","title":"October 25, 2004","year":2004,"month":10,"kind":"live","era":"EverQuest Live","expansion":"Omens of War","expansion_code":"omens-of-war","categories":[{"slug":"items","label":"Items"},{"slug":"zones-npcs","label":"Zones & NPCs"},{"slug":"tradeskills","label":"Tradeskills"},{"slug":"expansions","label":"Expansions"}],"sections":[],"change_count":9,"word_count":156,"summary":"Headlines!

Expect some kind of change in the future. \n- Point System: There are still concerns of potential exploits with the \npoint system at this time. Therefore the selection of PvP items \navailable on the merchants will be limited to consumable items for now. \nWe’ll monitor the accumulation of points after this update. If all goes \nwell, we will add a selection of equipment to the merchants in the near \nfuture. \n- Sullon Tokens: As a secondary concern with the point system, we are \ndelaying the addition of the turn-in quest for Sullon Zek tokens. If \nthere’s a potential problem with the point system that eventually \nrequires us to make adjustments to the way points are awarded, we don’t \nwant players to end up with less than full credit for these tokens. \nOnce the point system has had any potential issues ironed out we will \nadd a quest to turn in your tokens for PvP points. \n\nPvP Changes \n- Melee attacks have a 50% increased range. This does not affect thrown \nweapons or archery. \n- All safe zones have been removed save Shadowrest and the Bazaar. \n- The maximum damage any one spell can do is now capped at 40% of the \ntarget’s total hit points, down from 75%. \n- Archery damage has been increased to 80% of its base damage in PvP, \nup from 66%. \n- Being stunned while on a horse will now cause the horse to disappear. \nThis only applies to stuns caused by other players. \n- Lowered player melee mitigation, effectively lowering Armor Class by \n20%. This will increase the damage potential of melee weapons in PvP. \nOriginally the targets full armor class was considered. \n- Player spells now have a separate duration field for PvP. Individual spells will continue to be tuned during beta. \n- Player spells now have a PvP specific resist mod. Spell lines with \nresist mods differing from their normal adjusts initially include: \nMovement Rate \nRoot \nEnthrall \nMana Drain \nStuns \nDirect Damage \nDamage over Time \nPet procs/innates \n- Added higher level snare spells for rangers/druids with increased \nresists mods. This should allow them to land snare spells with similar \nfrequency to other snare spells. These spells are available on the PvP \nmerchants for 1 point each. \n- Necro and Mage pets have had their PvP resists increased to closer \nmatch the existing Beastlord pet resists. \n- Lowered the duration of most snare, Enthrall, and Root spells and \nabilities. \n- Berserker snare is no longer unresistable. \n- Added a set of pumice stones to the PvP merchants that will cast \nvarious forms of dispel magic with a 1.5 second cast, 12 second cast \ntime. \n- Arena deaths will now place you at your bind point, and not in \nshadowrest. \n- PvP Resurrection effects now last 5 minutes + 1 minute/negative \nvitality point. The Max duration is now 15 minutes instead of 25. \n- Made further changes to prevent hill ghosting. Please test this and \ngive feedback. \n- Ranged weapons are no longer restricted by the Z axis, allowing \ngreater freedom of use on varied terrain. \n- Snare will now properly slow mounts. The mount will still be faster \nthen normal running while snared, but will considerably decrease their \nmovement rate. \n- Spells now have a minimum chance of landing of 5%, up from 2%. \n- Water will no longer cause you to be immune to people outside of \nwater and vice versa. \n- Zoning with low health will no longer set your hit points equal to \nthe amount of +HP gear you are wearing. \n- Players killed in PvP combat will now spawn in Shadowrest with full \nequipment. A naked corpse will remain in the location they died for 3 \nhours. Note that this effectively removes item loot from Rallos Zek. \nWith the addition of no drop augments it became rather trivial to \neffectively remove item loot from the server anyway, and we felt the \nbenefits of the new death system outweigh the benefits of an item loot \nsystem. \n- Players who are killed in PvP combat will respawn with special \nresurrection effects on them. The duration of these effects is variable \ndependant on how frequently they die. \n- Summon Corpse Potions are now usable by any class/race. \n- A system to score PvP kills has been implemented. For more \ninformation see below. \n\nScoring System \n\nThe new scoring system will award points to any player who kills \nanother player. If the player is grouped the points will be split \nbetween the players in the group. The points awarded will be based on \nthree things: \n1. Level of the killer \n2. Scoring Modifier \na. Level Difference \nb. Infamy Difference \nc. Vitality score \n3. Time since the victim was last killed by the same player. \n1. Level of the killer \nEach kill has a base point cost determined by the level of the killer. All subsequent \nmodifiers apply to this base number. \n2. Scoring modifier \nThe scoring modifier is based on three things. Each of these factors results in a score \nthat is then applied in whole to the point value of \nthe kill. \n\na. Level Difference \nFor each level the killer is above or below the victim, the scoring \nmodifier increase by one point. If you kill some one who is higher \nlevel than you, you’ll gain more points then you will for a lower level \ncharacter. You will also subtract points from your modifier for killing \na player lower level than you. \n\nHigher level characters are more powerful, and should be worth more \npoints. A victim must be at least level 20 to awards points. \n\nb. Infamy Difference \nEach time you kill another player, points are added to your infamy \npool. At certain thresholds a player will gain an infamy level. When a \nplayer is killed, the infamy levels are compared and the killer gains a \nscoring modifier point for each infamy level his victim is above him. \nHe can also lose scoring modifier points for killing someone who is of \nlower infamy. Infamy will gradually deteriorate while the player is \nonline. \n\nPlayers who regularly PvP are generally of higher skill level then \nthose that do not. This encourages players to kill other players who \nare of more equivalent skill. \n\nc. Vitality \nWhen a player is killed their vitality is set to –10. For each 5 \nminutes they are alive, they will gain back two points of vitality. \nThis vitality total is added directly to the scoring modifier. \n\nA player who dies very frequently is worth less points then one who \nstays alive longer. \n\nd. Group bonus \nGroups of 4 or more will receive a bonus % of points for each kill. \n4/10%, 5/15%, 6/20%. \nExample: \nFrizznik kills Rytan. Frizznik is level 60, while Rytan is level 62 for \na level difference of 2. Frizznik has an infamy level of 5, while Rytan \nhas an infamy level of 2, which results in infamy difference of –3. \nRytan has not recently been killed, so his vitality is 0. Level \nDifference + Infamy Difference + Vitality = Scoring Point Modifier or 2 \n+ (-3) + 0. \nEach scoring modifier point adds or subtracts 5% to the base score. \nNormally Frizznik would gain 100 points for killing Rytan, but because \nof the scoring point modifier he will gain 95 points instead. \n3. Time since the killer has killed the same victim \nPlayers that repeatedly kill the same player will see a steep decrease \nin the amount of points a player is worth. They will gain half the \npoints for the kill they normally would for each time they kill that \nplayer in a 24 hour period. After the score has dropped below 1 point, \nthey will begin to lose points for killing the same player. \n\nLeader Board \n\nThe leader board tracks the players with the most total PvP. A number \nof other useful statistics will be available in the leader board. \n\nPoint Rewards \n\nPlayers will be able to redeem their points for equipment via a Lost \nDungeons of Norrath style adventure merchant interface. These rewards \nwill span from level 20 on up to 65 and include some pieces that are of \nelemental quality and possibly beyond. \n\nA player’s point total is capped based on their level. They cannot gain \nmore points once they hit that cap, although they can gain more infamy. \nThere will be a number of consumable PvP items that will be focused on \nPvP combat, and will only function against other players. \n\nWindowed Mode * \n_____________________ \nThe EverQuest process is now more friendly. Alt+tab'ing to other \nwindows should be much more responsive.You can also choose to adjust \nyour maximum Frames Per Second(FPS) in the Options Window under display \nsettings. The valid range for the slider is 10 to 100. The default is \n100 which means EverQuest will not throttle your FPS. Lowering your \nsetting will cap your FPS at that value and free up the CPU for other \ntasks. \n\nRaid Window Additions \n_____________________ \n- The raid window contains a new row of buttons which the raid leader \ncan use to organize the raid members into groups. \n- Lock/Unlock: The raid must be locked before the raid leader may use \nany of the new buttons. \n- RemLeader: Removes the 'Group Leader' flag from the selected player \nfrom the 'Players Not in a Group' list. (Only 12 players may be Group \nLeaders, so this may be necessary to allow creation of a new group with \na new leader). \n- NoGroup: Removes the selected player from their current group and put \nthem into the 'Players Not in a Group' list. \n- 1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10,11,12: Moves the selected player into the \nnumbered group. \n\nHot Zones have changed! * \n_____________________ \n\nHunt for greater XP rewards in the new Hot Spots. Make your way to the \nfollowing zones. \n\n60-65 Plane of Torment \n55-60 Chardok \n50-55 Grieg's End \n45-50 Nurga \n40-45 City of Mist \n35-40 Kaesora \n30-35 Dalnir \n25-30 Hollowshade Moor \n20-25 Runnyeye \n\nKill a few goblins for me. Oh, and that Grieg guy. \n\nAA Changes \n_____________________ \n- The cleric AA Touch of the Divine has had its healing power \nincreased. The original ability has been refunded, so players who wish \nto retain the ability will need to purchase it again. The portion of \nthe AA that will remove detrimental effects, when it goes off, will not \nbe going in with this update. \n- The necromancer AA Swarm of Decay has been refunded. \n- The shaman AA Call of the Ancients has had its description changed to \nreflect the fact that the summoned ward casts healing spells, not \nendurance regen spells. The ability has been refunded because of this \nconfusion. \n- The rogue ability Seized Opportunity has had its chance to work \nsignificantly increased. \n- The druid ability Viscid Roots was increasing the chance for roots to \nbreak, not decreasing it. This has been corrected. \n- The paladin ability Hastened Piety now affects the reuse time for \nboth Hand of Piety and its upgrade, Pious Supplication. Previously, it \nwasn’t affecting Pious Supplication. \n- When an AA is an upgrade of another AA and both are triggered \nabilities, players can make a hotkey and use either one, but will only \nget the upgraded effect if they use the hotkey for the upgraded \nability. \n- The Mass Group Buff AA will now reset if you duck to cancel the \nspell. \n- The double attack AA now works with secondary hand attacks. \n\nConsent Changes * \n_____________________ \n\nThere are some new consent commands available for groups and raids. \n\n- /consent group -- flags your current corpses so they can be dragged \nby all of your current group members \n- /consent raid -- flags your current corpses so they can be dragged by \nanyone in your raid (including people who join the raid later) \n- /consent guild -- flags your current corpses so they can be dragged \nby anyone in your guild \n- /deny group -- removes the flag \n- /deny raid -- removes the flag \n- /deny guild -- removes the flag \n\nTacvi Changes \n_____________________ \n- Tacvi will no longer give lockout timers. Instead, when you beat an \nencounter there, you will gain a timer for that specific event. Then, \nwhen you come back to the zone, if that timer hasn’t expired yet that \nparticular event won’t be up, but other events in the zone will be if \nit has been long enough since the last time they were defeated. \n- Loot in Tacvi has been given a thorough audit. Many changes were made \nincluding changes to the statistics of the items, changing item names, \nchanging where the items drop, and over a dozen new items were added to \nthe zone. \n- The Tacvi zone timer was increased from 6 hours to 12 hours. \n\nMisc. \n_____________________ \n- Diamond Dust will now drop more frequently in permafrost and can now \nalso be found in SolusekB * \n- Names will now scale with character they’re associated with. So a \ngiant will have a much larger name than a Halfling will while retaining \nits much smaller brain. \n- Names for larger characters will be visible from a greater distance \nthan the names for smaller characters are. They will also scale up \nslightly as you increase your distance from a character, making them \nmore readable from a greater distance. \n- Tinting should now work properly again on Robes, let the Fluorescent \nPink tinting begin! \n- We have added Tooltips for your status bars.* \n- We have made some changes to the fonts EQ uses so that they are more \nclear and visible. \n- Pets will no longer attacks NPCs after their owner has COH'd \n- The Fiery Defenders particles should no longer blink \n- If your Minor Illusion fails, you will be able to use another \nillusion on yourself without zoning. \n- Instant cast combat abilities can once again be used when you have a \ndiscipline up. \n- Augments now fit into multiple slot types. \n- Zoning pets will now save their taunt toggle settings. \n- Spell damage done to yourself will no longer display to others. \n- Pets will no longer poof when you are Call of Hero'd. \n- Weapon Augments will now proc properly. \n\n*denotes a community requested change","content_hash":"006cacfe19b9d322ee4683fbda82c4816affcbb2539eb22b35a685f553098ee6","source_files":["patches-2004-2.txt","patches_1999-2010_combined.txt"],"source_titles":["August 11, 2004"],"source_url":null,"source_urls":[],"occurrence_count":2,"source_occurrences":[{"occurrence_id":"b299338bdfbb109113ce18285df80853719bb2c61f721d9a22746dfa4155388b","filename":"patches_1999-2010_combined.txt","adapter":"text","source_offset":634890,"item_index":null,"heading":"August 11, 2004","source_url":null,"source_url_raw":null,"published":null,"source_kind":"text","excerpt":false,"year_inferred":false},{"occurrence_id":"f33b579ee3027ebbdf8ca01769b746ee3dab2e96d9d502d48b79227fa919aec5","filename":"patches-2004-2.txt","adapter":"text","source_offset":7056,"item_index":null,"heading":"August 11, 2004","source_url":null,"source_url_raw":null,"published":null,"source_kind":"text","excerpt":false,"year_inferred":false}],"year_inferred":false,"sequence":1,"slug":"2004-08-11-1","id":"2004-08-11-1"},{"patch_date":"2004-07-15","effective_date":"2004-07-15","display_date":"July 15, 2004","title":"July 15, 2004","year":2004,"month":7,"kind":"live","era":"EverQuest Live","expansion":"Gates of Discord","expansion_code":"gates-of-discord","categories":[{"slug":"classes","label":"Classes"},{"slug":"spells-aa","label":"Spells & AA"},{"slug":"items","label":"Items"},{"slug":"ui","label":"UI"},{"slug":"audio-graphics","label":"Audio & Graphics"}],"sections":["following Robe Graphic items for Tunic Graphic items"],"change_count":17,"word_count":219,"summary":"Issues for shaman and druids with the Healing Adept AA have been corrected.

If benefits are deactivated \nbefore the timer is depleted, no refund is given for the time \nremaining. \n- Players now have the ability to activate/deactivate the tribute \nbenefits they've selected (as a whole) whenever they like using a \nbutton on the Tribute Benefit Window. However, every time the player \nactivates his benefits, he will be \"Pre-pay\" (see above). The ability \nto change selected benefits (downgrade) away from the Tribute Master \nhas been removed. \n- When visiting a Tribute Master, the player's benefits will \ndeactivate. Players may re-organize their selected benefit load, but \nwill not be able to \"preview\" the benefits (seeing the effect on their \ncharacter when the benefit is selected). Benefit descriptions should \ngive the player a good indication of what the benefit will do when \nactivated. \n- The EQ Label that shows the Tribute Benefit Timer will now show green \nwhen benefits are active and gray when they are not. \n\nItem Changes \n- Manastones will no longer work in Forgotten Halls. It was not \nintended for the item to be used there and some naughty folks were \ntaking advantage of the zone. \n- Malcohm Thimbleton, in the Plane of Knowledge will now swap out some \nRobe Graphic items for Tunic Graphics. * \n- The Staff of Revealed Secrets now has a 2hb weapon model instead of \nthe little stick it had before. Enjoy your bigger stick. \n\nUI Changes \n- It is now possible to display your mana as a numeric value on your \ninventory screen. * \n- By mousing over your buff icons, you will now be able to see the \nbuffs remaining duration. * \n\nBerserkers \n- Berserkers now have innate crits beginning at level 12. \n- Tainted Axe of Hatred now comes in stacks of 20. \n\nAdditional Notes \n- You now have the ability to sell back LDoN items and augments to the \nadventure merchants for a percentage of their original cost. * \n- We have increased the number of NPC debuff slots from 30 to 50. \nNecromancers rejoice. * \n- The Doppleganger AA's re-use timer has been reduced to 30 minutes. * \n- Sprint and Planeswalk have had their movement rate increased. * \n- Beware! Many named mobs in Gates will now summon. \n- The Hide all traders option, for the Bazaar, will no longer need to \nbe reset each time you enter the zone. * \n- /stopspellcast will no longer give spells recast delays. \n- Leadership: Group/Raid mark npc should now update for people that are \nadded to the group or raid. \n- Main assist will no longer clear if the main assist zones. \n- Bards should once again play the stringed instrument animation when \nplaying a stringed instrument song. \n- Hynid fleshrippers, tide feasters, and shore stonemites in Natimbi no \nlonger hit so hard.","content_hash":"7d9eefee19b4448db13bfc95b794d639f8e9b901e8025ec4548be594b1dd909c","source_files":["patches-2004-2.txt","patches_1999-2010_combined.txt"],"source_titles":["July 14, 2004"],"source_url":null,"source_urls":[],"occurrence_count":2,"source_occurrences":[{"occurrence_id":"93d12edbe1ef0cdc1650abfa53f791bc58df5f0b4ac33877ed1b73de4bdf8dc0","filename":"patches_1999-2010_combined.txt","adapter":"text","source_offset":627936,"item_index":null,"heading":"July 14, 2004","source_url":null,"source_url_raw":null,"published":null,"source_kind":"text","excerpt":false,"year_inferred":false},{"occurrence_id":"79c92c3f8f8115a69fef04e4e77ef136209a11e657cfccc93dab83b45c63ab07","filename":"patches-2004-2.txt","adapter":"text","source_offset":102,"item_index":null,"heading":"July 14, 2004","source_url":null,"source_url_raw":null,"published":null,"source_kind":"text","excerpt":false,"year_inferred":false}],"year_inferred":false,"sequence":1,"slug":"2004-07-14-1","id":"2004-07-14-1"},{"patch_date":"2004-06-30","effective_date":"2004-06-30","display_date":"June 30, 2004","title":"June 30, 2004","year":2004,"month":6,"kind":"live","era":"EverQuest Live","expansion":"Gates of Discord","expansion_code":"gates-of-discord","categories":[{"slug":"quests-events","label":"Quests & Events"},{"slug":"expansions","label":"Expansions"}],"sections":[],"change_count":0,"word_count":164,"summary":"Headlines Download EQ Trilogy and play for 30 days free!

Knights in particular should find it easier to tank the NPCs \nthey previously had difficulty with. \n- Ikkinz -- Guilds no longer have to flag every member in order to complete the Ikkinz trials. Only one person needs \nto complete all events/raids to start the seventh Ikkinz trial. At that point, all players who complete the seventh \ntrial will get full credit for the zone. \n- NPC innates have been adjusted to behave a little more reasonably. \n- Zone travel has been made easier. Animal aggression was lowered by changing their faction and See Invis percentages \nwere reduced on several NPCs. \n- Spell drops have been increased. \n- Increased the rate of cash drops. \n- The mini bosses in Qvic now have a more appropriate respawn rate. Their item drop rate has been increased to \ncompensate for this. \n- Breakdown in Communication quest now has improved rewards! \n\nCollision \nMore improvements to the collision system should make it a lot more difficult to get stuck. \n\nMisc. \nThe Eye of Zomm will once again open closed doors.","content_hash":"d8914bd8ce039dcb6a3cf6a342920abd976c0b53ac6b907d24b8ba6c62e58e38","source_files":["patches-2004-1.txt","patches_1999-2008_combined.md","patches_1999-2010_combined.txt"],"source_titles":["May 12, 2004"],"source_url":null,"source_urls":[],"occurrence_count":3,"source_occurrences":[{"occurrence_id":"05bb97826b0f441d62a38f2133f109acdf8552c2f516dd51a8c3fcb1b34e5765","filename":"patches_1999-2008_combined.md","adapter":"markdown","source_offset":596315,"item_index":null,"heading":"May 12, 2004","source_url":null,"source_url_raw":null,"published":null,"source_kind":"markdown","excerpt":false,"year_inferred":false},{"occurrence_id":"46a88991d43216c605a57844fd283be2a0a6bf1dc7741fd79e293f736b47bd23","filename":"patches_1999-2010_combined.txt","adapter":"text","source_offset":614166,"item_index":null,"heading":"May 12, 2004","source_url":null,"source_url_raw":null,"published":null,"source_kind":"text","excerpt":false,"year_inferred":false},{"occurrence_id":"322f4a4565a0154fbd592a525bc0857d283df2b5b746455ac49a0ccdbcfaf44f","filename":"patches-2004-1.txt","adapter":"text","source_offset":31115,"item_index":null,"heading":"May 12, 2004","source_url":null,"source_url_raw":null,"published":null,"source_kind":"text","excerpt":false,"year_inferred":false}],"year_inferred":false,"sequence":1,"slug":"2004-05-12-1","id":"2004-05-12-1"},{"patch_date":"2004-05-05","effective_date":"2004-05-05","display_date":"May 5, 2004","title":"May 5, 2004","year":2004,"month":5,"kind":"live","era":"EverQuest Live","expansion":"Gates of Discord","expansion_code":"gates-of-discord","categories":[{"slug":"spells-aa","label":"Spells & AA"}],"sections":[],"change_count":7,"word_count":325,"summary":"Happy Cinco De Mayo!

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

We'd also \nlike to send a special thanks to all of the players that helped us test the additions on the Test and Beta servers. \nAll of the input we received helped to shape the improvements you've seen in the melee classes. \n\nPlease continue to give your feedback on the melee system or anything else that you feel requires attention. \nIt does make a difference. \n\nOver the last several months there have been several new additions to EverQuest aimed at increasing the desirability \nand relative power of pure melee classes. \n\n- Discipline timers were revamped, allowing greater freedom and frequency of use. \n- Endurance bar was added as a limited resource to power melee abilities and disciplines. \n- Warriors received an innate 5 percent increase in their ability to absorb damage. \n- Warriors received the Incite line of abilities, giving them a new tool for aggro management. \n- Monks received the Phantom Call line of abilities, giving them a new tool for pulling. \n- Several new disciplines were introduced for all three classes. \n\nThe endurance system and the separation of the discipline timers have provided us with new tools to add interesting \nand powerful abilities in the future for melee classes. You can count on seeing new disciplines and abilities as the \ngame progresses and as situations arise that require new abilities to effectively balance class power. We will \ncontinue to evaluate the melee system for both balance and enjoyment. \n\nWe will also continue to review and make changes to each individual class as needed. Class balance is an important \npart of any multiplayer game and requires constant attention. \n\nThanks for helping make EverQuest a great game. \n\n\nItems \n------------------------ \nWe have replaced the spell-like effects on items which produced the following effects: Attack, HP Regen, Mana Regen, \nHaste and Damage Shield with actual statistics. The effects on the item have not changed they are just set up in a \nnew way that we hope will allow for more item functionality in the future. \n\nSeveral Gates smithed weapons have had their damage and delay adjusted to be more in line with the difficulty in \ncrafting them.\n \nThe Copper Hammer of Striking will no longer proc for wielders below level 50. \n\nThe Wailing Coral Staff is now two handed blunt. \n\nBolas are now one-handed projectile rather than ammo. \n\nBola ranges have been adjusted slightly. \n\nAll bolas that can proc will now do so. \n\nAll items that had the \"Cleave\" series of effects removed, have had them returned. \n\nThe drop rate for the following Epic Quest items has been increased slightly: \n\n- Essence of a Vampire \n- Decrepit Hide \n- Staff of Elemental Mastery (earth) \n\n\nExpedition zones \n------------------------- \nYou will now have to wait 5 minutes before you are able to accept another expedition zone. \n\n\nTradeskills \n------------------------- \nIn order to correct many of the issues with the new tradeskill interface it was necessary to remove all learned and \nfavorite recipes. However the system should now work better overall. \n\nThe sell prices for Saltwater Tuna and Saltwater crab, as well as the price for any item made from them, have been \nreduced. \n\nRainbow Trout should now be tradeable. \n\nIf you are not a gnome, you should no longer be able to tinker with a deluxe toolkit kit. If you are a gnome, \nplease tinker away. \n\nYou should now be able to properly search for recipes. \n\nThe trivial level for brewing Fish Wine has been adjusted. \n\n\nBerserkers \n------------------------- \nSome berserker abilities have had their endurance cost changed. \nThe duration of Confusing Strike has been reduced. \nBerserkers should no longer be told that they can bash at level 6. \nThe berserker guildmaster in the Plane of Knowledge has been taught throwing and parry and is ready to train \nberserkers in their use. \n\n\nSpells \n------------------------- \nSome Gates of Discord spells should now drop a little more often. \nSeveral heal spells for Gates of Discord have been modified slightly. \nThe shadow knight Ancient Spell: Bite of Chaos should now work as intended. \n\n\nNPC's \n------------------------- \nHierophant Granix should now give the correct text in Cabilis. \nTrimdet Trueheart in Abysmal Sea is less of a snob and should now speak with you correctly. \nIf you tell Brevik Kalaner in Abysmal what items you [need back], he will return to you any items you've just given him. \n\n\nTribute \n------------------------- \nA few items have had their tribute value adjusted. \nGift of the Enchanters should now work correctly. \nYou should no longer be able to donate containers with items inside for favor. \nPersistent Boon should now give the proper effect. \n\n\nAlternate Advancement \n------------------------- \nDire Charm will no longer reset after being resisted as the ability was successfully initiated. \nDire Charm should now reset when used on an NPC that is too high in level. \n\n\nMiscellaneous \n------------------------- \nCorrected a faction issue with the wizard epic. \n\nThe monk \"Phantom\" line of abilities should no longer be resisted in the level 65 \"hard\" LDoN Adventures. \n\nThe rogue's \"Assassin's Strike\" skill line ability will be re-introduced with the next update. \n\nThe Shining Bloodstone will now be restricted to 2-handed weapons. Any who have placed this augmentation in a \n1-handed weapon will find the augmentation on their cursor when they log in. If you find that you have no practical \nuse for the 2-handed augmentation, please petition and a suitable 1-handed replacement will be made available to you. \n\n\n- The EverQuest Team","content_hash":"d359b272e499d9db3d6a222a5edec7a67d42f96d42853f8b58e81b659eda22d7","source_files":["patches-2004-1.txt","patches_1999-2008_combined.md","patches_1999-2010_combined.txt"],"source_titles":["March 10, 2004"],"source_url":null,"source_urls":[],"occurrence_count":3,"source_occurrences":[{"occurrence_id":"bc897e708078d7d1abdb55900de7b8a5c35cd3094898b35349a971dc0d61accb","filename":"patches_1999-2008_combined.md","adapter":"markdown","source_offset":576962,"item_index":null,"heading":"March 10, 2004","source_url":null,"source_url_raw":null,"published":null,"source_kind":"markdown","excerpt":false,"year_inferred":false},{"occurrence_id":"b94daac66b84d098952b406e01816eea9a020d8eabbb86658170c5814d38d293","filename":"patches_1999-2010_combined.txt","adapter":"text","source_offset":594219,"item_index":null,"heading":"March 10, 2004","source_url":null,"source_url_raw":null,"published":null,"source_kind":"text","excerpt":false,"year_inferred":false},{"occurrence_id":"16534b4e18bc0a962c1677d3e01f9ad6213bbe575e66a96b1cf7f47e7ca44897","filename":"patches-2004-1.txt","adapter":"text","source_offset":11168,"item_index":null,"heading":"March 10, 2004","source_url":null,"source_url_raw":null,"published":null,"source_kind":"text","excerpt":false,"year_inferred":false}],"year_inferred":false,"sequence":1,"slug":"2004-03-10-1","id":"2004-03-10-1"},{"patch_date":"2004-02-18","effective_date":"2004-02-18","display_date":"February 18, 2004","title":"February 18, 2004","year":2004,"month":2,"kind":"live","era":"EverQuest Live","expansion":"Gates of Discord","expansion_code":"gates-of-discord","categories":[{"slug":"bug-fixes","label":"Bug Fixes"},{"slug":"classes","label":"Classes"},{"slug":"spells-aa","label":"Spells & AA"},{"slug":"zones-npcs","label":"Zones & NPCs"}],"sections":[],"change_count":0,"word_count":73,"summary":"We found a bit of code that was, occasionally, causing random zone crashes and corrected it.

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

It is a lot easier to download these files in smaller chunks than to download \nthem all on the day of release. \nYou can get the files incrementally from the EverQuest updater. The obvious way to begin downloading the files is \nto click \"yes\" when the dialogue box pops up asking you if you'd like to incrementally download Gates. If you've \nalready told that dialogue never to appear again, you can get the files in a few easy steps: \n- Run the EverQuest Updater \n- Click the Advanced button \n- Click the checkbox next to Gates of Discord \n- Click Save \n- Click Download. \nThis will catch you up on the downloads you have missed and will update you as we add files to the updater. \nThis will make your download much smaller the day Gates launches, or the day you purchase the digital version \nof the expansion. \n\nThe anticipated release date -- February 10th, 2004 -- is subject to change. If the anticipated release date \nchanges, we will announce a revised release date via a patch message.","content_hash":"0afbeadc583b7d4192641bf2129e859f3a3a41f069abc0078664c42cfb54e3ef","source_files":["patches-2004-1.txt","patches_1999-2008_combined.md","patches_1999-2010_combined.txt"],"source_titles":["January 22, 2004"],"source_url":null,"source_urls":[],"occurrence_count":3,"source_occurrences":[{"occurrence_id":"662e145f29c2597a68ee5011be4088096f6294a126ef3a1d13a0e1b2b8f5a989","filename":"patches_1999-2008_combined.md","adapter":"markdown","source_offset":566359,"item_index":null,"heading":"January 22, 2004","source_url":null,"source_url_raw":null,"published":null,"source_kind":"markdown","excerpt":false,"year_inferred":false},{"occurrence_id":"4ff68480fa2e0f622acd9268ba5468e24d047cacb3fbec299efd2e6ac4b94fa7","filename":"patches_1999-2010_combined.txt","adapter":"text","source_offset":583154,"item_index":null,"heading":"January 22, 2004","source_url":null,"source_url_raw":null,"published":null,"source_kind":"text","excerpt":false,"year_inferred":false},{"occurrence_id":"aa077312991fe2eadffd18f9c37d74c9e137a14157596d28b15e01212db6ad4f","filename":"patches-2004-1.txt","adapter":"text","source_offset":103,"item_index":null,"heading":"January 22, 2004","source_url":null,"source_url_raw":null,"published":null,"source_kind":"text","excerpt":false,"year_inferred":false}],"year_inferred":false,"sequence":1,"slug":"2004-01-22-1","id":"2004-01-22-1"}]}
