Bristlebane Day went live last week, and the ever-reliable EQ2 ZAM and EQ2 Traders were on hand to provide detailed updated guides to ensure that players don’t miss out on any of the fun, including any new additions for 2014.
From EQ2 ZAM:
Bristlebane Day returns tomorrow, Friday, March 28th, and runs through Thursday, April 10th. There’s new recipes, new rewards, and a new event currency! Keep your eye out for interesting Patchcraft mobs all over Norrath and earn your Patchcraft Slayer achievements! All your favorites from last year return, some with new rewards.
On April 1st things really get hopping! New this year… bunnies. Everywhere, bunnies. You may have been stumbling over them around the world, and on April 1st you can collect them for three new achievements. Returning are the Jester’s superior gardensin Enchanted Lands, giving harvestables from all holidays. Frostfell crafting stations will also pop up in Enchanted Lands on the Highest of Silly Days. There are two quests offered exclusively on April Fool’s Day, so you’d best like riddles if you want to add to your dice collection!
Read all about it in our Bristlebane Day Guide! And if you’ve got a lot of alts, use our Bristlebane Day Quest Tracker to help keep track of them during the event.

From EQ2 Traders:
In a few short hours, Bristlebane Day will begin. While Mum has decided to keep her active pranking to a minimum, after her more notable pranks earlier in the year, that does not stop her from some small glee when Agnor misconstrues a helpful warning as a prank attempt in “Killer Bunnies?”
And if you missed the April 1st prank by not logging into EQ2, Cyliena of EQ2 ZAM has immortalized the hilarity in a Youtube video. Don’t say we didn’t warn you…
The patchcraft achievements are ridiculous. 10,000 kills for the last achievement? Unless you’re playing 24/7 nonstop each day of the week doing a loop over and over on the same spawns I can’t see anyone actually achieving that.
Some Revelations guild members on Butcherblock must be approaching the 10k mark by now on those patchcrafts. They’ve been grouped up camping Timorous Deep since this thing started. Those crabs have been on lockdown.
Here I thought the 10k was an april fools joke in of itself. Apparently it isn’t too ridiculous to be done.
