EverQuest Online Adventures game update for 5/28/04

Fixes abound in the Planes, and some Wizard lovin' too! Plane of Sky Corrected an issue with progression from Island 2 to 3. Teleportation should be working properly now. Plane of Disease Bertox should return to full health after he has defeated all who oppose him. Corrected a geometry issue in Bertox's area. Wizards Wizards are now roughly 17% more efficient! This is the first step in a repass of Wizard abilities to address balance concerns with their performance in raid and group settings. Power costs were slightly reduced on all direct damage spells from level 12 on up. Dexterity modifier moved from 60% to 70% and a slight increase in base damage. Next items for review are issues surrounding "sustained" type spells for group effectiveness and "blast" type spells for burst damage output, including continued power cost and damage revision, recast rates and cast times. Shadowknights Death Knight master class pet resist buff should now stack Areas A new danger roams the lands known as the Elephant Graveyard. Adventurers in those areas should be vigilant for this new danger! NPCs Centaur Archers in the Elephant Graveyard area should now be more in line with their intended difficulty. Pariah of Xragg monsters in Elephant Graveyard now lifetap for slightly more damage Look for a clue in Qeynos about the use of the mysterious Black Lotus

NPC in Qeynos now gives a clue that:

1) You need fused dryad hearts to use with the Black Lotus

and

2) It involves teleportation.

A side note: Fused dryad hearts were involved in one of the Arios quests. Arios the Battered as well as the Arcanablade Zerin (sp?) fellow in Cyclop's Fortress belong to the "Zaoran Brotherhood" faction.

And, we all know there is a yet-to-be-unlocked zone on the Frontiers DVD named... the Zaoran Plateau.

I am certain this black lotus mystery, once someone figures it out (fused dryad heart ALONE is not enough to get it to work, people have tried), will open up this zone.

Just a thought because noone has posted anything substancial about the Black Lotus, you might have to have one in your possession to get the quest. A merchant in Freeport sells them for 250,000t. I'd like to see if you can get the quest if you have the Lotus, but I'm too poor.

So there's finally a clue to the use of the black lotus. I wonder, then, if elemental smelter is related?

It's another Charge-based item sold by the same vendor in Freeport who sells the Black Lotus, Merchant Gilgash. It is only 10k tunar.
