Nights of the Dead Returns to Norrath! — Oct 9 ~ Nov 3

From the EQ2 Forums:

It’s the time of year when a chill sets in and darkness falls on the lands. Ghouls begin to emerge from the shadows and both tricks and treats are plentiful. Whether you enjoy crafting holiday items or are looking for a spooky adventure, there’s something for all Norrathians to celebrate as Nights of the Dead returns to Norrath!

There are several new features for Nights of the Dead 2014, including a new Candy Crusher achievement! Adventurers can also seek out Setri Lur’eth in Nektulos Forest to take part in a new annual quest, “A Dream, By Any Other Name.” Don’t miss out on the new things holiday merchants have to sell, including house items, dungeon spawners, petamorph wands, and appearance weapons. New Bounding Orc Skeleton and Shadowy Lich costumes are also available for those who want to adventure in style!

Players interested in crafting up some holiday decor should visit Nights of the Dead merchants and obtain the new Celebrations of the Dead VII recipe book. This book contains a variety of recipes for house items that will spice up any Norrathian home with some holiday flair!

In addition to this year’s new Nights of the Dead festivities, players can look forward to several returning achievements and spooky events as well! There are multiple haunted locations for brave adventurers to explore. Are you ready to discover the horrors that lurk in the shadows?

These fansites also have some wonderful information about Nights of the Dead!

Nights of the Dead will be celebrated across Norrath from Thursday, October 9 through Monday, November 3, 2014.

From EQ2 ZAM:

This year brings back all your favorites, from the Haunted Mansion to the Hedge Hollow. New this time around is a quest from Setri Lur’eth in Nektulos Forest, two achievements, and pumpkin bombs with prizes inside! See if you can get all the new collections and earn the right to be titled “The Pumpkin King!”

Should you need a hand to hold in the dark (or just want to know where gumdrops drop), ZAM’s got it all. Start with our Nights Of the Dead Guide, and keep track of all your alts with our popular Nights of the Dead Quest Tracker!

Lera is currently updating his site with all the new house items from Nights of the Dead 2014. If you haven’t tried it, EQ2Furniture allows you to view every house-placeable item in EQ2 from several different angles, as well as all the stats about it and find out how to acquire it.

Lera also asked me to remind you that Frostfell is less than 90,000 minutes away.
