 >next articles February 15, 2011 - Change to Pristine Bonus Incoming While the NDA for the upcoming expansion has not yet been lifted, Domino got permission to announce one change that is incoming with Destiny of Velious. Pristine bonuses will be going away but tradeskill quest and writ xp will be increased to more than make up for it. To read more about the change and the reasoning behind it, you can check out this post on the SOE forums. (For those who can't access the SOE forums from work, but can access my forums, I will get a copy of her post onto our forums in a moment.)

Created By: Niami Denmother February 08, 2011 - Erollisi Day Reminder Just a quick reminder that, as mentioned in our forums, Erollisi Day events will begin tomorrow. No preview is available in advance, so it may take a bit for me to get a page up for the new crafted goodies. Patience, grasshoppers, patience! :D
Created By: Niami Denmother February 01, 2011 - Kelethin City Festival The Far Seas Supply Division has set up once again for another city festival. If you have city tokens burning a hole in your pocket, this may be a good time to visit the Kelethin City Festival and do some shopping! As usual, city festivals run from the 1st through the 7th of the month.
Created By: Niami Denmother January 26, 2011 - SOE Announces Housing Improvements! Smokejumper has announced some upcoming housing improvements that will be happening in the next couple of months (probably after the Velious launch). The short version of the announcement is that you will be able to own more than one home on a single character, and there will be more small prestige homes available that come with placeable portals to them that you can put in your main home, etc. We can expect to see prestige homes as promotional items, station cash items, and even as loot. For further details, check out this post on the SOE forums.

Still need to finish some of your Frostfell quests, and get those last few once-a-year items? Well you're in luck, because we're leaving Frostfell active in EQII for a couple more days! Enjoy a little more time with the festivities and stuff your pockets full of as much Frostfell goodness as you can, until the hotfix on Tuesday, January 11th!
Created By: Niami Denmother December 23, 2010 - Holiday Extras A quick tour of the SOE EQ2 forums shows that there are several things going on during this holiday season. Here is an abbreviated version of the news for those of you who cannot (or will not) check over there very often:
Created By: Niami Denmother December 22, 2010 - Free Frostfell Wreath Ignore this, please. I posted the wreath information on the EQ2 side, instead of the EQ side by accident.
Created By: Niami Denmother Last Modified on: 2010-12-23 03:13:48 December 16, 2010 - Double SC Weekend There will be a double station cash weekend this weekend, December 17-19. Keep an eye out for additional details from SOE at this link.
Created By: Niami Denmother December 10, 2010 - More Frostfell Goodness!
As I promised earlier in the week, this article includes a small mini-story (with a bit of an unexpected twist). In addition, check out the images of the Santa Glug presents, some quest rewards and links to the huge number of vendor offerings, and icy keep furniture in the Frostfell 2010 Overview: Sugar and Spice, Fire and Ice
Created By: Niami Denmother December 07, 2010 - Aiyeee! Frostfell! Apparently, there was a very last-minute change to scheduling, and Frostfell went live today instead of launching on the 9th. Watch this space later in the day for Frostfell crafting details, as well as details of furniture nummies that went in with the hotfix today. Update #1: The Frostfell 2010 Crafting page is up. The preview of the rest of the Frostfell offerings will hopefully be in place tomorrow. Another update will be along in a bit with the new panda furniture offerings. :D Update #2: Along with the research change (research is now done from your knowledge book, not an NPC, and more grades of spells/arts can be researched), some faction furniture was added to vendors. In addition to one new statue on the hua mein vendor in the Sundered Frontier, there are a dozen new furniture items on the Hua Mein Circling Destiny faction vendor out in Stonebrunt Mountains.
Created By: Niami Denmother Last Modified on: 2010-12-07 05:33:38 November 19, 2010 - World Events The 2010 Heroes Festival celebrating the anniversary of another year in the land of Norrath will be running from now through Nov. 30. There is no crafting component to this world event, but there are glowies and house items, so check it out before it ends! Also remember that the next run of the monthly Moonlight Enchantments event will start tonight and run for 48 hours.
Created By: Niami Denmother Nights of the Dead ends in a few hours. Have you remembered to convert your various candies into candy corn to save on storage space?
Created By: Niami Denmother November 03, 2010 - Reminders and Updates The City Festival that is located near the Crossroads in the Commonlands is running through November 7. Not only is this the first time you can purchase an actual house item door that opens and closes, but there are special paintings available on the general goods vendor that are sold during these few days only. The Octoberfest forum contest winners are only being sold during the November city festival, so you might want to go take a peek! Nights of the Dead ends November 8, so get your questing in now, buy your crafting books, and trade in those candy drops for candy corn to save on storage space! You will then have a bit over a week to breathe before the Heroes Festival begins. Well, most folks will have a chance to breathe - Mum & Kaisha are already eyeballs-deep in Frostfell testing (though there may will not be any writeup until late November). The KoS Quest Furniture page has been updated with the rest of the images. A new page picturing the Irontoe Brigade Faction Furniture has also been dropped into place. Last, but not least, Super Fan Days are in effect now through November 9, with discounts on station cash and daily item sale specials. Check out that link for additional details.
Created By: Niami Denmother October 26, 2010 - Small Updates A few things tradeskill from the patch notes today:
Created By: Niami Denmother October 19, 2010 - Tiles and Tricky Totems First, a quick reminder that the monthly Moonlight Enchantments event begins in a few hours, and that we expect four new floor tiles to be sold on the vendors. As mentioned in my GU58 preview, these are: snowy square (Antonica), wispy grass square (Darklight Woods), hay square (Enchanted Lands) and cobblestone square (Nektulos). They have already been added to the appropriate Moonlight Enchantments pages. Secondly, it seems that with the GU58 change to how tokens worked (being changed to work more like potions and stack, instead of being a 5-charge charm item), some of the new crafted totems started going into potion cabinets instead of jewelry boxes -- but only some of them. Domino and one of the coders finally figured out that if the totem had an illusion component, it still counted as a bauble that went in the jewelry box. The totems that did not have an illusion component went happily into their new home in the potion cabinet. Coming soon to a hotfix near you will be a fix so that all totems can/will fit into the potion cabinet. (The potion cabinet will be able to handle all stackable totems, while all stackable totems that grant an illusion form will fit in either the jewelry cabinet or the potion cabinet.) The sales crate list in the broker guide has been updated to reflect this.
Created By: Niami Denmother October 15, 2010 - Drednever Furniture Buried within the GU58 patch notes was a note about some KoS quests now granting furniture rewards. While the page is still under construction, and we only have a fraction of the images so far, you can get details on the KoS Quest Furniture page
Created By: Niami Denmother October 13, 2010 - Confuzzled Redhead I posted in my 2010 Nights of the Dead preview the dates that were mentioned in Kaitheel's post in the SOE In Testing Feedback forum. However, others have heard a different date mentioned, such as in the email newsletter from SOE. I have no clue. So, be ready for Nights of the Dead "any time now". It may be just after midnight on the 14th, it may be mid-morning on the 14th, it may be either of those times on the 15th.
Created By: Niami Denmother Last Modified on: 2010-10-14 12:54:38 October 12, 2010 - GU58 - more downtime incoming As mentioned in my GU58 preview last week, GU58 went live today. Apparently, a few things went askew, however, and some things did not go in gracefully. Expect more downtime shortly to fix the problems: From Rothgar: We've fixed the client crash related to the missing mount and currency tabs. We also have a server-side bug fix that will fix a zone crash issue. We will be announcing a short down-time later today to get these major issues fixed. We'll post the downtime notice on the forums as soon as that information is available.The forums in question mean the SOE forums, but I will echo the information over here as I see it. You can now find the full GU58 Patch Notes here. Currently estimating a downtime around 2:00 pm PDT...which is around now. We expect the servers to be back online by around 3:30 pm. UPDATE: This has been rescheduled for 5a.m. Pacific tomorrow (Wednesday)
