The Itemization Battle When examining any piece of equipment, players must evaluate whether that item is an upgrade for their class based not only on their existing stats, but also whether the stats and effects on that item are of benefit to their class. The character’s spells, combat arts, AA setup, and existing gear must all be considered. Choosing item upgrades has never been an exact science.

We haven’t posted about City Festivals in a while so thought we’d repost this one. If you have completed city tasks such as tradeskill writs and adventure writs, you’ll notice you have received City Tokens.

This month, the festival is parked at the gates of the City of Kelethin in Greater Faydark.
Legends of Norrath brings a unique time-limited in-game item to EQ2 this month. Naturally the folks at SOE would like us to play Legends of Norrath and buy lots of packs of cards. But they keep adding more and more tantalizing items and whether you play LoN or not, we thought we’d post this as it may be of interest to housing designers.
