Looking For Answers?

Have we finally got all of the Heroic Adventure versions of The Broken Mirror zones up?

Are the tasks correctly linked?

Some zones we have decent NPC populations for, others we have very few.

Lastly... is the item collector working? I haven't seen any new entries in a while, which really cuts down on the updates. I personally have barely played in a few months, so we need the regulars to let us know what is happening. If it is broke... please go to sitefeedback forum and post.

Also, it's important for the general EQ forum to have some post traffic that isn't initiated by an ADMN. Let's call it optics.

Are you worthy to wield?

Soulfire.

Having never played a paladin (yet) in Everquest, it is easy to miss some of the unique flavor the devs put into the game. Clearly a great deal of care was put into crafting the quest chain that is Soulfire. Thanks to user Death Templars significant input, I was able to massively update the faction impact of this quest. Reading the write up, put together thanks to past users, it made me really want to do the quest... to the point that I might even consider doing it on a non-paladin (true trophy hunting when you do it for an item your character can't even equip). Maybe this finally compels me to play a Paladin...

So a very belated /salute to the dev team from way back that implemented what is one of the most lore-drenched quests in the game.

Who's got a Soulfire? When was the last time you punished some Innoruuk worshippers or undead with it?

Updated Quests: Zimel's Blades (Quest for SoulFire) ;  The Frikniller Family ;  Ratfink Mystery

Do You Hate the New* Freeport?

*(well it's not that new... how about "revised version")

You could always do what Death Templar did... do a bunch of quests involving the city and kill half the citizens. Sounds like a fun afternoon.

Piece by Piece we Build the Broken Mirror...

Especially with newer content, it is key that you say which version of an NPC you are updating drops for. Since the devs like putting multiple versions of the same named in the instance versions (Bhaly Adan is in several of the variations of Plane of Health for example) posting under the main zone "This NPC dropped item X" isn't enough info.

Updated Items: Greater Essence of Life ;  Severed Head of Severity ;  Ringlets of Decay

Solesek's Eye

Stageguy posted his thoughts on hunting in Solusek's Eye (Solusek A) in the modern game, as he had been away awhile and was not finding good information. He did the same for Jagged Pine. This is a lot like what Sippin, Fayman and others have been doing for much of the recent Heroic Adventures content. It's great to have some 2016 perspective on this content.

The challenge: Go to a favourite zone of yours. Make notes as if you were going to guide someone through it, point out the dangers and rewards. Maybe there are some quirks to the zone? Then post this as a mini-guide under the zone's forum. Feel free to overlap (why not have multiple person's take on a zone?). The extra challenge is do obscure places that nobody really uses, even on progression servers.

Bonus: Post in the EQ General forums, make a new thread announcing your guide. Example: "A Guide to Najena 2016" and link to the zone thread you posted in. This gets some eyes on it, and will garner you some feedback and likely some rate-ups. Win-win.

A Recommendation of Hate?

We've re-entered the MAJOR faction quest for Innoruuk Trolls out of Grobb. We suspect that the East Freeport version works still/again too. None of the quest NPC and items were linked, and the Grobb version of this NPC was not in the database at all... are other Grobb re-revamp NPC's missing? We do know that many old Grobb quests don't quite work as they did before the Frogloks did their sit-in.
