The Oceansfull event has been extended until the end of August 26 (Friday).

August 22, 2022 - Oceansfull and Summer Jubilee

The Oceansfull celebration ends at midnight Pacific on Wednesday. The Summer Jubilee vendor will stick around until August 31, so there will be an extra week for you to complete your shopping after Oceansfull ends.

August 11, 2022 - Oceansfull!

Oceansfull is upon us! Make sure to have some form of waterbreathing and join in the celebration!

August 09, 2022 - GU120: Myths and Monuments

Game Update (GU) 120 is releasing in a few hours, and there are a few things of interest crafters and decorators. Below are just some of the patch notes for the estimated 6-hour downtime.

SERVICES

The Overseer Quartermaster has performed a bit of inventory juggling!

• Some tinkering and adorning books from Vetrovia have been added.
• Empyral and Shadowed recipe books volumes 10-16 have been added (and prices slashed on the Empyral/Shadowed books that were already available).
• A set of Ornamental Vacrul Plate armor has been added.
• Season 1 accessories have been removed.
• Season 1 armor and weapons have had their prices slashed.

The three loyalty merchants have added new stock! Visit them in Qeynos and Freeport to check out their new wares.

• The Loyalty Housing Merchant has added "Seeds of Vengeance Reproduction", "Replica Wanted Poster", "Replica Terraporter, Replica: Ilfanul and Replica: Ravinus."
• The Loyalty Merchant has added an Armored Bear Mount.
• The Loyalty Outfitter has added eight new "Unwavering" gear crates containing appearance gear.

TRADESKILLS

• A new tradeskill quest series has been added for level 60 and higher crafters. Players can find Dora Wicket on Whisperwind Isle in the Barren Sky to start the series. This series will open the door to the ability for crafters to purchase their level 60-69 advanced recipe books, as well as an additional reward.
• Duffin Brandywine, lesser-known twin of the famous dockworking hungry halfling Duggin Brandywine, needs some harvesting help out in Vetrovia. Those who have completed the "Were is the Messenger" crafting signature line can find him located in Renfry's Basement, where he will reward your efforts with some Forlorn-themed dishes.
• Elemental fragments (cold, disease, etc) will now fit in your harvest depots.
• Removed the description line from most tradeskill recipes, as many are no longer reflecting the current or correct recipe or crafted item name.
• Distillation and dilution recipes for Chaos Descending and Luclin transmuting materials have been added to guildhall recipe vendors.

Since you probably want some eye-candy while waiting on the patch, I have put together a bit for you!

• The Hangry Halfling
• Delightful Doors

April 16, 2022 - Fixed Link

Well, it took a couple days, but someone finally told me of my linking flub on the Dev Picks article. Since front page articles are giving me hissyfits about editing still/again, here is the proper link to the article about Dev Picks on the Kael Drakkel server.

April 14, 2022 - Eggcellent!

The Beast'r Eggstravaganza is now live on all servers. The Kael server had some issues at first, but the event is now active there. The article has been updated with the images of the eleven new items.

Speaking of Kael Drakkel, there is a new opportunity for decorators on that server! Not only are there over 1000 house items on a timetraveling merchant on the Thurgadin docks that are the various crafted, quested or purchased house items from expansions that are not available on the server, but the leaderboards Dev Picks feature is going to be actively used on Kael. Read more here.

Game Update 119 is going live today. (Link in the previous sentence points to the official patch notes.) In addition to the solo/heroic raid content out in Vetrovia, there is some tradeskill love as well.

Much of the tradeskill love this time around is focused on quality-of-life sort of changes. It may or may not improve your quality of life in the game, but it should help out new and returning players a bit.

To learn more, and to get a look at all the lovely eye-candy, check out the GU119 Crafting and Housing Goodness article.

April 05, 2022 - Producer Letter, GU Beta

This has been an insanely busy year, and it is flying by so fast that it is hard to catch my breath. I am not the only one feeling that way, as you may see from the new Producer Letter that was released today!

Yes, the GU includes some tradeskill stuff. No, it isn't all available on the beta yet, but some of it is! The part that is up today on beta is a level 40-49 quest series based out of Everfrost that will, at long last, offer a way for crafters to earn the ability to purchase their level 40-49 advanced books. I am trying to get the level 50-59 set also ready for testing and I will post in this beta forum thread when the level 50-59 series is ready for testing, as well as the VoV red shiny collections. (I am hoping for tomorrow, if all goes well, but Bristlebane is causing some odd bugs, so no promises!)

March 31, 2022 - Reminders!

The Chronoportals Merchants in the Commonlands and Antonica are going away April 1, so if you have not finished your shopping, time to do so is slipping away!

April 1 is also the Highest of High Silly Days, meaning that special one-day-only Bristlebane Day events will be occurring, including returning riddle quests, one new dice housepet reward on the final riddle quest, rabbit nabbing and special harvests in the Enchanted Lands.

Other than that, the 64-bit client is being tested currently on beta, and the next big GU (Game Update) is coming soon.

March 24, 2022 - Bristlebane and More

Brewday has ended, and the mischief of Bristlebane Day has begun! You also have one more week in which you can spend your Ancient Platinum Coins at the Chronoportal vendors in Antonica and the Commonlands. In addition, you have only a couple more days to apply for the Community Resource Council if you want to participate in that.
