Some good updates tomorrow. White Critical Chance adornments will now work in nearly every equipment slot, allowing players to boost their crit chance until they can get ToV gear replacements. Also, lots of little fixes to zones which players have been reporting. From the EQ2 Forums: POPULATION / ZONE PROGRESSION General Challenge Duo zones will now drop purple adornments instead of red adornments.

Here are some of the most Frequently Asked Questions we are seeing about the new EverQuest II expansion Tears of Veeshan. This article will be updated as more details are found! How do I get started in Tears of Veeshan? The Tears of Veeshan expansion begins with the Tears of Veeshan: The Eternal Broodlands Signature quest, which you will receive an in-game mail about, and which you can pick up in either Qeynos or Freeport. Once on the quest, you will begin a path that takes you to the Vesspyr Isles. How to travel directly to the new zones without doing the...
Here are the Update Notes for the Tears of Veeshan expansion (ie Game Update 68) from the EQ2 Forums: TEARS OF VEESHAN After rediscovering Yelinak, now the steward of Vesspyr Isles alongside other fallen and familiar dragons, players learn of the time/space powers behind the Tear of Veeshan stolen by prismatic dragon Kerafyrm the Awakened. With Kerafyrm’s fearsome power looming over Norrath, players are called upon to shine light into the darkness brought on by the Awakened’s draconic army, and set the stage for a new Age to begin! Features: New class – Channeler! New Dragon-themed AAs AA limit...
EverQuest II: Tears of Veeshan launches tomorrow, and one of the benefits of an Open Beta is, we don’t have to wait for any pesky embargoes to take a look at what zones players will be journeying to in less than 24 hours. NOTE: All screenshots in the article were taken by me. Tears of Veeshan includes nine new Instances which are available in both Advanced Solo and Heroic versions. The new solo/heroic zones are all accessible from the Vesspyr Isles (which are another realm of the Ethernere, sharing vestiges of the Tenebrous Tangle). The Fractured Hive The Nexus Core...
After six years attending gaming conventions, namely Fan Faire and then SOE Live, one learns to carry a healthy dose of skepticism into any keynote or panel. The Age of Discovery (2011) and Chains of Eternity (2012) panels dazzled us with glitzy new features, beautiful new zones, and tweaks to itemization and mechanics. But by and large, these nips and tucks to itemization have remained in the well-worn rut of “Stamina + Main Stat increasing on a straight line” introduced with the Destiny of Velious expansion. In Kyle “Kander” Vallée‘s interview with EQ2Talk this spring, he candidly shared his...
From the EQ2 Forums: BETA TESTING REWARDS If you’ve earned a Beta reward bundle, you may now claim them on live (via /claim under the ‘Beta Reward’ section). Note: You may only have one of each beta bundle reward in your claim window at a time. Once you claim that bundle, you may then earn another of that same bundle. GENERAL Fixed a bug causing you to not be able to research your spells if you have a lower level player targeted. ABILITIES / ALTERNATE ADVANCEMENT Paladin Fixed a situation where a Paladin’s Marr’s Favor could critically heal them....

Here is the zone list: Nexus Core [Heroic]...

From the EQ2 Forums: GENERAL Fixed a message about losing 0 coin when looting a treasure chest in certain situations. QUESTS Channeler Prelude: Players will now find some help on the docks of the Danak Shipyards in Jarsath Wastes. It seems someone has placed an animal handler on retainer. Channeler Prelude: Instances are now more group-friendly. MERCENARIES Mindbender Talid should no longer apply “Peaceful Calm” on fighters in the group. BATTLEGROUNDS Fixed an issue with raids not forming correctly when entering a battleground.
From the EQ2 Forums: GENERAL Adjusted group experience gain.
Players have discovered an unexpected change in yesterday’s update which introduced Heroic Characters. From GrouchyMouse on Unrest on the EQ2 Forums: As I was in game tonight, there was chat about the NPC at Tenebrous Tangle who’d normally flag a epic’d toon for ER (talk to him and then go to Lavastorm to get the quest) was handing out a “Shattered Weapon“. The person who’d gotten the item hadn’t done the epic for their non-HC [Heroic Character] toon. I meandered up on my HC toon and also received the item. The dialog, however, was near exact for the dialog...
From the EQ2 Forums: POPULATION / ZONE PROGRESSION Siren’s Grotto: Dissension [Raid] During the Hydra fight mages & priests can now damage the kelp fiend adds, while fighters/priests and scouts can damage the abyssal titan adds. The Fabled Djinn Master’s Prism The Djinn Master now allows multiple scepters to be active during his fight. He will no longer ignore scepter effect when it is on more than one player. ITEMS Level 90+ regenerating ward adornments will now disable if the owner mentors below level 90.

When Kander told me that Sunday’s EverQuest II: Q&A panel from SOE Live 2013 had some good questions raised, I despaired that nobody had recorded it.

If you didn’t see the EverQuest II keynote live on Twitch or on the replays, you can watch it on Youtube. I’ve set the video to start at 27:30 which is right after Holly “Windstalker” Longdale gives ladies man Mark Tuttle a well-earned hard time and launches into the keynote. 😉
