EQ2 Adds 11th Adornment Slot Color

Written by Feldon on . Posted in EQ2, Itemization

If you were worried that we would run out of Adornment colors in EQ2, have no fear. In the last few weeks, new items have started dropping with a new adornment slot — Grey. That adds to the existing gaggle of adornment colors White, Red and Yellow (both now obsolete), Blue (PvP), Purple, Cyan, Temporary, Green, and Orange.  That gives us 6 active adornment colors. With the release of Kunark Ascending, a Black adornment slot was found in the game’s icon files, although no items have yet been found with that slot color. With Grey adornments, that potentially puts us at 8 colors going into November.

EQ2’s Fourteenth Expansion Won’t Require Epic 2.0 Weapons

Written by Feldon on . Posted in EQ2, Expansion News, Itemization

two_handed_swords

From Kander on the EQ2 Forums:

To clarify, the Epic 2.0 will not be required for the expansion, expansion access or 99% of the expansion content. It will not be required for any solo or quest content, including the signature line. There will be some specific content, that if you have done the epic, you will be able to participate in. It isn’t required. Alts and new players will have virtually no pre-reqs for expansion 14 content. We’re even going to gear your alts and new players for said content before they begin. The plan is to make the new content easier for alts to go through after the initial pass.

We will be doing things to help alts catch up, like the summer promo quests and tithe baubles, etc, on Ascension and several other aspects of content. More news soon.

Epic 2.0s will not be required for any raid or heroic content. They will remain the best items for those slots throughout the expac content though.

Double Extra Loot Week

Written by Feldon on . Posted in EQ2, Grouping, Itemization

From an announcement entitled “Double Loot Week!” on the EQ2 Forums:

If you haven’t doubled on your Ascension scrolls and experience, today is your final opportunity!

More importantly however, tomorrow the bonuses continue with double loot in all Kunark Ascending dungeon and raid instances!

Starting at 12 AM PT (07:00 UTC) June 16th, until June 23rd at 12 AM (7:00 UTC) players will receive double loot from the following:

  • Kunark Ascending Solo Instance Bosses (final encounter)
  • Kunark Ascending Heroic Instance Bosses (final encounter)
  • All Raid bosses

Time to get your crew together and run some dungeons!

Players asked in the popular Discord chat for clarification of whether this was truly double loot or an increased chance of double loot and whether it was going to work the same as it did last year or if there had been some changes. Apparently that was a mistake…

  • All bosses will have an ability that will either outright kill a group member if that group does not have a fighter, or aggro a group member with the fewest hitpoints if that group does not have a fighter.
  • Bring a fighter.
