From EverQuest2.com: Kunark Ascending makes Ascension classes available as a form of progression for all max level characters. Ascension classes are the apotheosis of a facet of energy, and are the gateway to ascended power. Once you have completed the Kunark Ascending signature quest line you may speak with one of the four masters in the Obulus Frontier to begin down the path to Ascension. Ascension Forms Each Ascension class grants the character the ability to shift into an avatar of that Ascension, converting all damage done from any ability that does not deal damage based on your weapon’s damage...
One of the proudest achievements in my EverQuest II history was acquiring my Eagle’s Talon epic weapon while Kunark was still fresh, challenging content. It took many months to find groups to get all the various group updates, many of which required defeating the hardest enemies in the game. Other updates required faction grinding (urrrgh Reet!), collection quests, and other solo side quests. Sadly I could not find a screenshot of when I received the fabled Eagle’s Talon, but I do have the above screenshot of when I acquired the mythical version during my brief flirtation with raiding. When...
From Kander on the EQ2 Beta Forums: We are no longer requiring the ToT Signature quests to start the Kunark Ascending questlines for beta or when it goes live. These changes should be in ASAP.

From the EQ2 Forums: ZONE POPULATION / PROGRESSION Veeshan’s Peak [Raid] Adjusted Silverwing’s script to account for charmed targets in regards to memwipes. BATTLEGROUNDS Fixed a bug that allowed some players to enter with a mount activated. Handcrafted food and drink no longer give blue stats in Battlegrounds. ITEMS Fixed the DPS amount on several Rise of Kunark era weapons.
The reward for completing all the collections in Game Update 101’s Fabled Nizara has received a less than enthusiastic response from players. The item, Misstress Zhvari’s Sash of Station, has rather low stats given the difficulty of acquiring it. In the new EQ2 Discord chat which was opened yesterday, Kander had this response: we’ll have it fixed next update. It should have 10 fervor and we upped the resolve and some other stuff, and now they are Fabled.
From the EQ2 Forums: BATTLEGROUNDS Corrected an issue that allowed adornments to apply in Battlegrounds. Many consumables have been reduced in power while in a Battleground match. Increased the amount of tokens rewarded from the Battlegrounds Quests. Battleground missions are now repeatable quests, and no longer subject to mission timers. ABILITIES Joust now has a range of 35 Fixed an issue with Accuracy from Strength that prevented it from applying. ITEMS Fixed an issue that prevented Aura of Immolation from applying. Mastercrafted food and drink should once again apply it’s bonuses on Time-Locked servers.
Players on the subscription-required Race to Trakanon and Stormhold (Time Locked Expansion) servers have been requesting changes to itemization which would bring Heroic and Raid gear (specifically the iconic Mythical weapons that conclude the Kunark storyline) above the level of Solo and Crafted gear. We got an answer of sorts on that question today from RadarX on the EQ2 Forums: You are taking a few liberties with this statement but to reiterate Kanders post and to ensure there aren’t concerns this hasn’t at least been communicated, there are no plans to do further itemization on current content. As with each...
From the EQ2 Forums: PUBLIC QUESTS Increased the amount of currency rewarded for the Kralet Penumbra Attacks! public quest. Corrected a bug that allowed extra rewards to be granted from Search and Destroy in Tranquil and Phantom seas. Crusader’s Medals are now rewarded from the level 95 version of The Crusade in Jarsath Wastes. BATTLEGROUNDS Live Battlegrounds have been removed and replaced with a Battleground Beta. Full details may be found in this thread: https://forums.daybreakgames.com/eq…-when-they-do-bg-beta-feedback-thread.572174/
From the EQ2 Forums: POPULATION / ZONE PROGRESSION General Corrected an issue with global NPC hit points that gave level 80 NPCs lower hit points then level 79 NPCs. This change smooths out the progress slightly lowering the HP on many encounters below level 80, and increasing the hit points on encounters between level 80 and 94. The Fabled Nizara, City of the Nayad [Heroic] Vzee’rist the Overseer and Mistress Zhvari, Nizari’zhi will now switch targets less often.

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.
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.
From EverQuest2.com: New adventures await you, Norrathains! GU101 is scheduled to release on Tuesday, August 23, 2016, and there’s something in this update for players of all levels.

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....
