PLAYER HOUSING
- Added a new window, “Housing and Leaderboards”. This window, which can be accessed via the EQII menu and from the main menu bar, allows easy access to many housing related features. It allows you to manipulate all your current houses, browse and buy new houses, visit houses associated with the current zone you are in, and view the current housing leaderboards.

Whoa whoa whoa…”Furnace of the Ages”? Where is that zone, exactly? Or is this another Abyssal Aqueduct sort of deal?
There are 3 challenge Duo zones which you can access by clicking items in Cobalt Scar:
– The zone for the Jar (found underwater) is called Absymal Aquaduct
– The zone for the Cog is called Antechamber of the Automatron
– The zone for the Anvil (found near tents) is called Furnace of Ages
Thanks for the info Kinya.
i heard it need 460cc ? or is that for raid
Any magic based nuke for any class that can be effected by potency increase should use disruption modifiers.
Any heal for any class should be effected by ministration.
Troubs finally get an ability using Ministration that gives skill ups. Too bad it’s on a skill with a long reuse; it’s going to take forever to cap.
2 min recast * 495 skill pts = long time
This takes 5hrs to update? Lulz, Didn’t they just do this week a downtime and an update now this?
Hmm what about swashies? I dont recall any abilities that use spell skills. But might be wrong since im a nub.
Priests, Crusaders, and Bards are the only ones that use spells.
Wanted to add eq2wire to my feedly but there is no RSS Feed. What other solutions do people use to follow this site?
https://eq2wire.com/feed/
I’ll see what I can do to make an RSS feed more visible.
Thanks! That one works.
I’m guessing feedly (and other RSS apps) looks for the “application/rss+xml” tag in the HEAD of the document on the homepage.
I tend to click through to read articles on the site with their custom looks but it’s really nice to be able to follow sites, especially on tablet apps these days RSS is completely transparent.
Added RSS and ATOM in the Head tag.
Mages cast the occasional spell too 😉
This doesn’t take five hours. The activation of the ProSieben acount system for new Euro customers probably does.
Ministration only reduces the power cost of beneficial spells. It doesn’t make heals, etc any ‘better’. So the only ‘benefit’ to having more arts use the skill is for skill ups.
What exactly does Ordination do?
Ordination is the skill used by all Spells that Protect, whether Self, Friend or Pet. This skill is of particular importance to Priests, Mages and Bards.
“This is how well you use spells that augment your friends and weaken your enemies.” This skill reduces the full-resist chance of debuffs and affects the power cost of spells that use this skill.
http://eq2.wikia.com/wiki/Ordination
group with a troubadour that is only running one song the song that increases ministration an ordination skill.then compare being grouped or having the song off and look at the power cost of menstration and/or nation skills you will notice that they cost less power the higher your ministration skill ordinations Skill.
menstration? Well, to be fair, my wife does tell me it costs her alot of power, but it’s not something she likes to cast.
you’re bad Noodle !!!
