Feldon From EQ2 Zam:
Game Update 66, Scars of the Awakened, launches on Tuesday, April 30, 2013. In this update players visit the vastly changed Velious land of Cobalt Scar and its dungeon, Siren’s Grotto.
Adventurers over level 90 can speak to Joren Kalth in any major city or on the Thurgadin docks in the Great Divide to be sent on their way to Cobalt Scar. Players once again work with Osh, who is trying to save his brethern from a corruption that has twisted their native land. After the othmir problem is addressed, the famed Field Marshal Vishra sends word, and the work to assist the New Combine with their various minor issues begins.
Cobalt Scar offers players 45 new quests, four daily missions, and one weekly group mission. Missions will send players who have completed most of the Cobalt Scar quests into Siren’s Grotto, but access to Siren’s Grotto itself has no requirements. The Scar has several contested heroic and epic creatures, which may drop the Obol currency for adventurers who have completed the Chains of Eternity signature quest series. New collections can be found in both new zones.
While owning the Chains of Eternity expansion will ease the combat difficulty of GU66, it is not required (the Destiny of Veliousexpansion is required). We recommend that your adventurer at least be equipped in Withered Lands or Skyshrine armor before diving into this update.
Can’t wait to see something new! Also dreading the plethora of hotfixes coming today and the rest of the week =)
Let’s all cross our fingers for a smooth patch session and hope not too many things are broken.
Hell, I’m lookin forward to checkin out all the “Latest Items” on EQ2U 😀
P.S.-Like the new banner on EQ2U Feldon!
so the way I read this you got to do the 45 quest to get access to the advanced solo, how about the raid?
but access to Siren’s Grotto itself has no requirements.
I read this as no requirements at all for the zones
All of the content is accessible without Chains of Eternity. But I’d like to see people do the Heroic and Raid zones at level 92 and only 10 prestige points. I think that would hurt. A lot.
The gear being dropped is 93+, so it’s probably not the best idea to go unless you’re doing the crafting timeline.
I hope they ll make Advanced recipe book, droppable for replace those annoying apprentice soon. I dont even bother to start research.
Good lord. Spent much of last night swearing out the devs (out of voice). Buggy content with annoying constant swarms of mobs…way to get me to NOT want to do those quests again…
No, you can access the AS zones without doing the quests. Only the missions for Siren’s Grotto require doing most of the CS quests.
