New batch of patch day goodness, or badness depending on who and what you like. There's more when you click on the read more button. 2/19/04 Continuing our efforts to expand hunting areas for characters 50+ The Elephant Graveyard region in south central Tunaria has been revamped. Take care when passing through this area as things are definitely not as they were before! Quests that previous had elements found in this area have been changed accordingly to maintain their difficulty. Have fun! All armorcrafting armor and shields have been updated with the changes proposed on the EQOA website. These changes were the result of player feedback to increase the desirability of this tradeskill and the resulting products. For a complete list of of changes visit http://everquestonlineadventures.station.sony.com/dev_view.jsp?id=59861 Abilities: Bard's Gypsy Master Class ability: Light Fingers can now be used with any weapon equipped. Druid and Wizard Portal changes: Changed the Circle of Kerra druid spell to Circle of Barren Coast. Changed the Kerra Isle Wizard Portal to Barren Coast Portal. Sage Wythin has been moved to the South Barren Coast region. The Druid/Wizard quest associated with Sage Wythin has been changed to fit his new spawn location. To correct the previous problems with the Mug line of Rogue Class Masteries, the following changes have been implemented: Created Mastery MugIII that requires Level 46, Mug 1 and that they have Assault. This is the condition rogues in the "broken" state are in Created Mastery MugIV that requires MugIII and level 60. This allows rogues in the broken state to complete the Mug line on this "alternate" path. Rogues will only be able to progress through the current Mug progression or the alternate Mug progression, but not both. Quests: Improved the following level 57 and level 59 quest rewards to better suit the quest: boots of the kedge, emberscale tunic, starshimmer bracers, welahi pouncer boots Further revised the quests involved with Cedric the missing fisherman for clarity and do-ability. Changed quests in the Theatre Bizarre region to have a timer of 20 mins instead of an hour. This should reduce confusion where previously players would complete event in under the 1 hour timeframe but not be able to finish the quest because the NPC wouldn't react properly until the timer was up. Items: Removed Magician, Necromancer, Enchanter, and Wizard from the takish suede robe as appropriate for a leather robe. The Spirit maker's robe no longer drops in game. The items statistics have not changed. A new, caster appropriate, robe now drops in its place. NPCs: Changed the aggro range of several mobs on the Night chain in Plane of Sky to reduce the chance of them being aggro'd through the walls and floors. We re-evaluated some aspects of Lord Nagafen's loot and encounter. This encounter is one of the most difficult in the game and the items obtainable through it are rewards to match. Remember, meddle not in the affairs of dragons, for ye are crunchy and taste good with ketchup! (Haggan's note: I used to have a bumper sticker that said that! hehehe)
