As of midnight, it appears that Wave Three of Summer Ethereals have begun. As we wrote about earlier this year, rather than weapons, the new Ethereals are Jewelry and Charms, and in this case, a Cloak ( Bonecaster’s Mantle ). A player brought the rollover to our attention. While the new cloak offers a 15% damage reduction from elemental, arcane, and noxious damage, as well as +10.5 Fervor, it oddly includes a Daze effect. Disabling autoattack for an entire minute of combat seems like a non starter.

We will update you after 8:00AM PT if any extensions of this maintenance are necessary. Thanks for your patience!
From the EQ2 Forums: GENERAL Fixed an issue where a character’s backpack appearance would reset after zoning in certain situations. ITEMS Equipment drops from Karnor’s Castle have been brought back down into progression.
The @EverQuestII twitter account posted this news last night: The final set of summer Ethereals is now available so earn them while you can! However we’ve now confirmed that we’re still in the midst of Wave 2 of Ethereals and that Wave 3 won’t start until later this month. From Caith on the EQ2 Forums: The second wave still has a few weeks in it, wave 2 ends and wave 3 begins later this month. False alarm folks! Wave 2 started on July 15th and I believe each wave is supposed to last at least a month.
It looks like the Rise of Kunark expansion, which was up for its third unlock vote on the Stormhold server, has squeaked by with the exact percentage needed to unlock. If the vote had gone the other way, it would be a full three months before the next one. From the EQ2 Forums: The results are in! The community has voted and it looks like everyone is ready to assail Chardok and conquer Karnor’s Castle! The Rise of Kunark expansion will launch at noon PT on August 16th. The final results for those of you interested were 66% of...

The EverQuest II team are working full steam ahead on the thirteenth expansion due to hit this November, but in the meantime, they’re getting ready to drop a whopper of a Game Update which should keep us plenty busy this summer. First up, the much beloved Public Quests first introduced in Destiny of Velious are making a return in current tier content. The EQ2 team have been given new tools to create PQs in weeks instead of months. In addition to faster development, the new tools promise to exhibit less server and client lag as the battles are underway....
The Stormhold Time-Locked Expansion server is back at the voting booth for its third ballot asking whether the Rise of Kunark expansion should be unlocked. The imminent launch of the Race to Trakanon server did little to encourage voter turnout as the last Stormhold vote failed with only 46% voting in favor of unlocking Kunark. Now, for the first time in the EQ2 TLE server’s history, it looks like this server may be stuck on its current expansion for three more months. To unlock an expansion, a supermajority (2/3rds) must vote YES. From the Stormhold server launch announcement comes...

Talk about being in the right place at the right time. After a single month on the app store of iOS and Android devices, Niantic‘s Pokemon GO (Pokemon being short for Pocket Monster) has obliterated even the loftiest expectations and entered the national consciousness. Some 80 million people have downloaded and played this new augmented reality game. Despite a few early hiccups, including a spying fear when the initial iOS release requested FULL access to your Google profile before a patch fixed it, the game has been a staggering success. The Pokemon GO juggernaut was strong enough to buoy Nintendo’s...

Event Server: Race To Trakanon Tinkering trainers are now available on the Race to Trakanon server! ZONES / POPULATION Lesser Faydark Tunare’s Battleweary ability should not trigger as quickly allowing more time to complete the encounter. Sundered Splitpaw Encounters within Sundered Splitpaw will set a zone lockout timer when killed. Agnostic Dungeons Adjusted difficulty scaling in agnostic dungeons that can scale to level 100. ITEMS Scourge Watchman’s Quiver is now 36 slots....
One of the appearance items which EQ2 players have requested over the years are Quivers. With a ranger as my main character, it’s fine to travel with an appearance bow on my back, but my preference would be a quiver. Starting tonight, the [eq2u]Scourge Watchman’s Quiver[/eq2u] is now available for purchase from the Marketplace for a price of 1299 DBC. It holds 26 stacks of ammo (it currently only accepts arrows but will be updated to hold thrown ammo in a future update). After equipping the quiver, a new option becomes available in the Character Options tab under Back...
As of midnight, it appears that Wave Two of Summer Ethereals have begun! As we wrote about earlier this year, rather than weapons, the new Ethereals are Jewelry and Charms. Here’s a post from two weeks ago giving today’s date from Kander: Wave two starts July 15th. Yes, each wave drops a different item. We will be doing double Ethereal tokens here some time in future also. When asked if we’d still be able to buy Wave One items after Wave Two starts, he answered in the affirmative (quoted for posterity): Yes, With an overnight change in the items...
