Feldon Test Update Notes from the EQ2 Forums:
DUNGEON MAKER
- Mystic Guardian avatar for Dungeon Maker has had the zombie scare attack changed.
- Fixed an issue with avatar power consumption rates. (also on Live as of Dec 22nd)
MERCENARIES
- Ten new mercenaries can be found within the major cities of Norrath. This includes Freeport, Qeynos, Neriak, Gorowyn, New Halas, and Kelethin!
- Gaeri Tallspire [Warlock] and Firus Scorchtouch [Wizard] have returned to their normal hangout and can once again be hired! They have been rebalanced a bit to do less spike damage but in some cases might do more DPS on sustained battles! Gaeri is now more encounter based where as Firus is more single target based damage.
TRADESKILL APPRENTICES
- Tradeskill Apprentice food and drink no longer require reactants.
- Provisoners can now have their Tradeskill Apprentice research belt recipes.
- The recipes required for the daily Tradeskill Apprentice tasks no longer delete themselves from your recipe book.
QUESTS
Beastlord Epic
- The Savage Deepening of Spirit is now flagged as epic.
- Ralissk should now properly speak to beastlords on all steps of the quest “One Door Closes, Another Door Opens”. (also on Live as of Dec 22nd)
Why is it that sony is allowing market items to be sold on broker i know they are not to high in stats for lvl 90 raiders and everyday dungeon player but to some common players those stats are pretty beefy and will soon flood the market
TS Apprentice quest recipe no longer delete from recipe book : oh thanks… Now i know i dont have alzheimer syndrom
Oh wrong-o, provisioner recipes still require colossal.
My provi is going to be happy…I was fairly sure noone would ever use a reactant to get 30 minute food made.
“Why is it that sony is allowing market items to be sold on broker” are market items now tradable? this is great news, now i can pick up market items a lot easier without having to spam in chat to find someone to gift me something.
Careful Dirgus this could be a F2P person that thinks rares and mastercrafted gear were originally SC items lol.
@Naefia: is this still even on test? I don’t’ think the provi changes went to live yet. but that’s just how I’m reading this.
Considering how the title is On Test: New Mercenaries, Tweaks to TS Apprentices, it would be a good guess these aren’t live yet. 😛
One can not stress the importance of reading:)
Maybe we’ll actually see some non-elf mercenaries. Or some female options perhaps.
Personally, I’d love it if we could just choose their race and gender ourselves, like we do for guildhall NPCs. We can already rename them; it’s not like there’s any particular sanctity given to their identities.
A trip to Test has shown me that the mercenary ratios have improved to 15% female and 20% beast race. (Compared to character creation options which are 50% female and 26% beast race.)
The only classes still not available as basic mercenaries are Bruiser, Fury, Illusionist, and Coercer.
As for races… sorry, fans of trolls or frogloks, they’ll double up on humans and elves and even add a coldain before you get any representation. 😛
Would have been nice if they said they are testing an increase in the drop rate of the colosal’s but whatever
