A Boatload of Changes

Here is the new patch info: EverQuest Online Adventures Game Update for Wednesday, December 17th, 2003 Client Update: Camera Rumble Toggle: You can now toggle the game's camera rumble effect from Options > Interface. Optimizations: We have made some game optimizations to address previous issues of lock ups when loading new areas and some framerate degradation when displaying areas with environmental effects (fog, etc.) Item Delete and Sell Confirmation: In order to avoid accidentally destroying or selling important items, a confirmation box will now pop up when attempting to do so. Please be careful when selling or destroying items. We understand that accidents do happen, but with this additional safeguard the Customer Service Team will generally not replace items lost through deletion or selling. Abilities: Changed the Lvl 46 Druid spell Stem of Thorns spell to now be Group Wolf Form Changed the pwr cost and casting time on the Lvl 57 Mage spell Blizzard The lvl 46 alchemist scroll wasn't giving the player the proper spell.

Game Patch Info For Dec. 5th

We had a few changes to go along with the Bard and Tradeskill item updates. Here are the specifics: 12/05/03 Plate Item Change: Several pieces of Bard armor conformed to the Tank Plate standard and the AC was quite out of line with what was intended. This problem stems from confusion over Bards from EQ on the PC (where Bards wear plate). To correct this we have made changes to the following items: Tradeskill crafted Plate armors are no longer Bard wearable. The following items have been changed to be No Trade. These item no longer drop in game. Changed versions of these items replace their former drop locations with items that are no longer Bard useable: Forestal Greaves, Gauntlets Helm and Breastplate Coldsteel Bracers, Helm, Boots, Breastplate, Gauntlets and Greaves Iron Krombak Helm and Bracers Fired Clay Breastplate, Bracers, Greaves and Helm Tae Ew Banded Helm, Tunic, Greaves, Boots Gauntlets and Bracers Cazicite Crusader Kite, Bracers, Breastplate, Greaves and Helm Tree Burning Gauntlets, Cloudsong Breastplate, canary leggings, rusty platemail bracers, truesteel helm, acid etched bracers, lightfire greaves, antique breastplate, riveted barbute, ironclad boots, runic plated belt, Reinforced Krombak Shield, Battered Krombak Shield, Gauntlets of Kromise Might, Quartzite Tae Ew Bracers, opaque gauntlets, rathesteel plated bracers, dragonbone barbute, serrated chestplate Tradeskills: Due to the nature in which HoT and PoT stack, the tradeskill crafted items that have these effects were not desirable over other items found in the game. To make them more attractive, we have removed these effects and changed the stats of the jewelry crafting products made from: Ruby, Emerald, Sapphire, Star Ruby, Fire Emerald, Black Sapphire, Diamond, and Blue Diamond. Class Mastery: Necromancer Class Mastery Unholy sacrament corrected to upgrade the lvl 55 pet Geomancer Mage Mastery now requires Geomancy 5 Paladin Glorious Incite and Goad now have a CHA modifier to mach the other abilities in this line Raised Warrior Controlled Defensive and Offensive lines to have a larger modification due to high WIS Corrected Rogue Mug 1 and Mug 2 overwriting the wrong abilities. Abilities: Rogue spell scroll, Blighted Night, has been changed to a level 54 scroll as was originally intended. The level 51 Rogue scroll, Gymnast's Acuity, drops in game and functions properly as it always has. Enchanter Soothing Visage now L46 spell Level 60 shaman pet's power cost revised Wizard scroll Odus Portal now level 57 Items: Whale Hide Gloves now properly equip in the hand slot Made Fathom Guardian Amulet equipable Alchemist level 46 scrolls will now drop correctly Rhino Horn Axe of Lightning proc no longer scales with level and is set at 150 damage Fathom Guardian ring, Sandstone Shield and Spellbreaker Amulet now have appropriate stats for their rarity and level Small ornate pauldrons are no longer ogre wearable Scorpion Ring has been changed to work like a gem, has 99 charges and cures some poisons Quests: Level 37 side quests will now properly return the spell Frosty Mixture to Alchemists. Alchemists who had previously done this quest and not received their reward should visit Min Gyrind in Oasis and dig at "X marks the spot" The gargoyle statue guardian for the level 53 Odus side quest now drops the statue 100% of the time Corrected Level 20 Alchemist Elf reward NPCs: Added a banker and a blacksmith to Stone of Morthalis Waysender Yuresh in Arcadin now sends good aligned characters to a revised location in Stone of Morthalis Ratmen in South Islands treasure drops are less frequent to be in line with monsters of that difficulty

New Patch Details!

11/26/03 Items: Frontiers Spell Drops - We adjusted the spells that drop from monsters in Frontiers to be found on a much wider array of dungeon monsters of an appropriate level for the spell. These spell scrolls are also tradeable, so look for them in Auction and from your friends and guildmates. We corrected several sets of Frontiers "cash" loot items to have 99 of them in a stack. Previously, they were only stacking up to 20 or 50. While we found a lot of fun in seeing people launch tightly packed bundles of bandages from bows and x-bows across Norrath, these bandages are no longer usable as projectiles. Blue aura gloves are now usable by gnomes. Tradeskills: Adjusted resale values up on all weapons crafted with uncommon, rare, and ultra rare gems to more appropriately reflect the rarity of gems they are made with. NPCs: We corrected a few monsters in Frontiers that were not using correct abilities lists and seemed easier than other monsters of similar levels. Waysenders have been added between areas of Arcadin and the Stone of Morthalis to allow travel between these two cities for characters of all races and classes. - Evil characters in the Stone of Morthalis should visit Waysender Iskan to travel to the East Plateau region north of Arcadin - Good characters in Arcadin should visit Waysender Yuresh to travel to the Stone of Morthalis Guards in Arcadin and other cities have taken the complaints against their lackluster performance to heart and are now actively attacking local monsters that may stray near them. Adjusted common item drop rates in Silhilthis' Dwell that were a little out of line with other area's drop rates of that level and difficulty. Freeport Dockmaster Endol will now correctly send gnome necromancers to the Stone of Morthalis. Quests: Corrected an issue in the lvl 15 Ogre Shaman quest where some players could not continue the quest after retrieving the large raw ruby and the raw ruby. Corrected an issue in the lvl 7 Ogre Shadowknight quest where the ability reward shadow tunic scroll was not being handed out at the end of the quest. Players who have already completed this quest can simply speak with Greenblood Yurgat again to receive the ability.

Patch Details for Friday Nov. 21st

We had a follow-up update from Frontiers launch, addressing a few small issues that had cropped up since the release. These changes will go in effect at apx 4 AM Pacific time on Friday, November 21st, 2003. Below are the details: 11/21/03 A few post-Frontiers items to report: NPCs: Added a Spiritmaster to Stone of Morthalis, Spiritmaster Ezarah. Added Tailoring merchants to Arcadin. Their vacation to the balmy Kerra Isle is over and they are now back at work. Evil classes are now only able to take the boat from Freeport to Stone of Morthalis, instead of sneaking into Arcadin and ending up slain by an overzealous guard. Adjusted monster spawn times in West Plateau to better match their level. The Elf Paladin guildmaster in Fayspire is no longer attackable. Minotaurs in Tunaria should no longer drop the fabled, but quite useless, Atlas of Qeynos. Positive faction can now be gained with the Village of Kerplunk by fighting nearby lizardmen and aviaks. Positive faction can now be gained with Dark Solace by fighting nearby aviaks. Positive faction with Honjour Village can be gained by fighting Frogloks and the Protectors of the Pine. The Guk Froglok King should now spawn less predictably, although its average spawn time has not changed. The mighty water rat in the Hodstock area should now have a more appropriate ability list. Corrected an inconsistent naming convention of monsters in Sylhilthis' Dwell. Items: Added bandages to all food merchant lists for the First Aid Class Mastery ability. Tidian robe was improperly flagged for all classes to wear. It has been changed to caster only. The Monk weapon, force of mind, has had its proc corrected. It should now have a chance to proc for 150 damage. Ouch!
