December 03, 2024 - Frostfell!

Well, I finished the article before the event started, at least. Without further ado, I present you with the Frostfell 2024 preview. The event will launch with the patch on Dec. 3 due to a few bits and bobs (like the giant Frostfell trees in Qeynos and Freeport) needing a patch in order to activate.

December 01, 2024 - Scars of Destruction Overview

I am still low energy and recovering, so I do not have much for you yet. However, Fading has done a lovely overview of the expansion in general to tide you over until I can stream the crafting line (maybe later today, maybe tomorrow) and put together a small Frostfell preview.

November 20, 2024 - Scars of Destruction!

Expansion launch day has arrived! I have been so insanely busy with work and real life that I have had next-to-no time to work on an expansion preview this year. I DO have a few things for you, just not as massive a writeup as usual due to the distractions of medical mayhem on top of work.

First is an unscheduled twitch stream from last night that shows off carpenter furniture, tradeskill researcher furniture, the new house, and a bit of Frostfell goodies.

The wonderful Whilhelmina from the French-language EQ2 Artisans is a goddess among women. I am just throwing that out there. I wrote the frissen frassen quests, and didn't have enough energy left to actually turn that into a coherent walkthrough. She wrote not only a French language version of the quest for her own site, but then translated the walk-through, threw it into a file for me, dropped all the images on me, etc. While it still took time to format it to work with the unfriendly site requirements, it took WAY less time than it would to write the article from scratch, and ensured you would have a signature quest walk-through today. Merci beaucoup, Whilhelmina!!

Last is a gallery of the Scars of Destruction Carpenter furniture. This is very much in-progress, and I may/may not be able to finish it before I leave for my surgery today. I am linking it in and continuing to work on it until the last moment. If you see 24 mastercrafted images, then I finished before I left. Otherwise, I'll leave a note saying that the rest are pending in a few days once I am back home and feeling up to sitting at the computer for a while.

November 08, 2024 - Happy Anniversary and More!

EverQuest II turns 20 years old in a few hours, and along with that date comes the release of another annual Heroes' Festival Celebration.

Additionally, the launch date for the Scars of Destruction expansion has been announced as November 20, so you now have just under 2 weeks to participate in the beta if you wish to earn the beta testing rewards.

November 05, 2024 - Extra Life Bonus Week is Here!

Phew! What a weekend! I was one of many who did a 24-hour game marathon Saturday/Sunday for charity. We raised a lot of money, and a lot of awareness for the Children's Miracle Network via the Extra Life campaign. It was utterly exhausting, but a lot of fun.

We were close enough to the $125,000 fundraising goal with Extra Life that the decision has been made to unlock the bonuses for that fundraising tier. Enjoy extra xp, extra rare drop chances, extra loot in the current expansion zones, and double currency rewards. You can read the specifics here.

October 11, 2024 - NoTD and Other News

First off, at midnight Pacific, Nights of the Dead 2024 will begin on all servers other than Anashti Sul. I apologize for leaving this preview until the very last moment, but life has been chaotic.

It is not just me trying to get the tradeskill line into place, which is chaos enough, but also that nasty thing called Real Life. I will not go into details of the medical mess here, but I am likely to be unavailable a lot for several months, starting at the end of this month. Go gently on me, please.

Due to all the chaos, I may not be available for Extra Life Game Day streaming as I had hoped. I am still raising money for Extra Life this year, and donating via my fundraising page does get you various EQ and EQ2 claim codes based on how much you donate, but I might not be able to stream to do that extra little bit of fundraising for sick kids. To those who have donated, or do donate before the end of the year, thank you. This nonprofit charity is one I strongly support. ~Mum

October 08, 2024 - The Year of Darkpaw Crafter Fix

From the patch notes today:

Corrected an issue that would prevent The Year of Darkpaw Crafter from triggering some of its component events. Players that have already qualified for those events will find their achievement fixed upon logging in or zoning.

If you find that the master achievement is still not recording an earned achievement properly, please post in the forums, but people "should" be fixed now. Trust me, you don't want to know how much I have cursed our achievement system because of this. :D

October 01, 2024 - Still Here

Yes, I am still here, just so very swamped with RL stuff and work that I am way behind on touching the websites. I will have a Nights of the Dead preview up at some point this week, but I have been really low-energy, and what energy I have has been going towards my own health, and dealing with expansion stuff at work. Speaking of expansions, it went up for pre-order today, and beta opens at noon. Enjoy this tiny promotional preview while I shamble back to work:

July 23, 2024 - Housing Sale and More

For a limited time, the marketplace will have deeds for multiple different personal guildhalls on sale. Yes, that said limited, so those who do not buy soon will miss out. The Origins server will get permanent access to purchase a new Rivervale home deed. Many vaulted items unvaulted for the next six days (July 29) and some house items that are destined for the vault on that day will be 20% off until then. Read more here.

July 22, 2024 - Extra Life 2024 News

Extra Life has named Daybreak Games as their 2023 partner of the year. For those of you unfamiliar with Extra Life, it is an American and Canadian charity that has gamers raising money for Children's Miracle Network Hospitals, allowing us to "play it forward" to help sick kids. It is a phenomenal charity, and in November I will once again be participating in a 24-hour Extra Life gaming marathon. Also again this year, EverQuest and EverQuest II have in-game incentives for those who donate as well as those who fundraise, stream, etc. Information on the EverQuest incentives can be found here. Information on the EverQuest II incentives can be found here. While it is not necessary that you sponsor me your 2024 donation must be made to someone listed on the Darkpaw Games Extra Life roster in order to qualify for the rewards. Anyone doing so at any time during 2024 will qualify, though the rewards will not be granted until late in the year.

June 26, 2024 - Light My Fire

The beacons of Sinking Sands have been lit! Solusek Ro followers call for aid! ... or something like that. :D The annual Scorched Sky Celebration is currently on the Test server and goes live on Friday.

June 12, 2024 - Hide and Seek This Weekend!

Even if you are not attending Fippy Fest, you can not only watch the livestream this Saturday but you can ALSO win a prize if you join in the Scavenger Hunt that will be happening on the Test server Saturday (June 15) on the EverQuest II Test Server from 1:15 p.m. until 2:10 p.m. PDT.

June 11, 2024 - Fippy Fest Incoming!

For all of you not attending Fippy Fest, tune in on Saturday starting at 8 a.m. Pacifict to check out EverQuest's YouTube stream. Denmum will be in there a time or two, but not in the actual panels. Ngreth, the beloved House Ogre, will be in the hotseat in the EQ panel, I believe.

For those lucky few who ARE going to Fippy Fest. I have three EQ2-related small prezzies for the first three players to tell me "Praise Bristlebane" during Fippy Fest. These are my own EQ2 items that I am giving away, not Darkpaw-sponsored items, and I am only announcing it here. (You are, of course, welcome to pass the word to anyone who you know is attending, but this is my only mention of it.)

June 05, 2024 - Tomorrow!

Tinkerfest and the Summer Jubilee begin tomorrow. I absolutely needed to show off this handsome Orange Toyger (Yes, my ginger kitty is even more gorgeous, please stop stepping on me to get my attention.) While my new headset decided it didn't want to talk to Debut, you can hear the cat "talking" (Yes, yes, you talk even more than the virtual cat does, dear Hood, now please stop "shouting" in my ear for attention.) and even a bit of purring. (Yes, yes! I know your purr is even better, thank you for gracing me with it you big goofy lovebug!) I saved the best of the pet commands for last "Set trap". (I know, I know, the tummy is not a trap, at all. I will pet it as soon as I finish putting this article up. Ok you gorgeous lovemonster?)

Can you tell I had a helping paw with this? ;)

June 02, 2024 - Tinkerfest, Summer Jubilee

Amidst all the busy scheduling right now, June snuck up on me. (Gah, I need to find the hubbyogre a birthday gift for later in the month, aiyeee!) Tinkerfest 2024 begins on June 6, which means that it will also be time for the Summer Jubilee 2024 to also begin at the same time. I will try to do up a video to show off the new tinkered tub effect and the actions on the orange toyger fluff pet from the Jubilee, but I am unsure when/if those will be linked onto the above pages. Other than that, expect me to be extra quiet for a while, as Fippy Fest is less than two weeks away and that will take every spare "spoon" I have and then some. I hope to see a couple of you there!

May 24, 2024 - Memorial Day Bonuses

I hope to get a bit of site work done on this long weekend (including a Tinkerfest preview, as it is now on the Test server), and while I do, it is time for the rest of you to enjoy the Memorial Day Bonuses that are now active in the game.

April 09, 2024 - GU125 is Here!

Not all heroes are adventurers, and there are rewards to be found for artisans who perform heroic actions as well! In search of brave tradeskillers to cause delays and disruptions to the gnoll forces while adventurers try to deal with the shaman that is the leader of the invasion force. Interested level 10 and above crafters should seek out Rinndle in the Darkpaw Dugout* for further information. (*Antonica, near the Thundering Steppes griffon.)​

Go forth and quest! 42 house items, a transmute cannister that lets you pick the level tier, and a weekly mission that grants you a mana vial of the tier of your choice await you as rewards for completing Rinndle's quest. Once you finish the overall quest (which means you have also completed the mission once), you can do the mission daily by zoning into Darkpaw: Sabotage [Tradeskill]. The mission is autogranted when you zone in, and can be found in the mission timers tab of your journal.

  • Overall quest (once and done) - "Sabotage and Circuses" from Rinndle in the Darkpaw Dugout
  • Mission timer: search on "Darkpaw" or "Sabotage"
