Hot Zones!

We’ve now got more details on the new “Hot Zones” feature. These have been active on the European servers since last week and will be hitting U.S. servers at 2pm PDT (5pm EDT). There is no server downtime expected for this feature to be enabled.

Every day, a level 80 dungeon will have an increased chance of FABLED loot drops. This is on a rotation like the Daily Double. The selected zone will change for all U.S. servers at midnight. Read the Announcement at EQ2 Forums

Just as you have been able to determine the Daily Double by looking in the Welcome Screen, you’ll also be able to determine the Hot Zone by checking in the same place. Type /welcome_info in-game or better yet, Ctrl-L. You may have to switch zones for this window to update once Hot Zones go live.

After running Crucible twice, Emperor’s Athenaeum three times, and Runnyeye 2 in the past 3 days and getting nothing but Ornate chests, I know I am looking forward to this new feature!
