November 23, 2015 - Tuesday Update

Here is the chunk of the Tuesday morning patch notes of interest to crafters and decorators:

  • Dhalgar Precipice of the Deep house portals now also have an appearance for good aligned homes.
  • Adjusted the spawn points on some tradeskill collectibles that were floating in the air or colliding with other objects.
  • Thaumic material should now correctly display as level 100.
  • Adjusted spawns of a couple bush harvests in Thalumbra.
  • Weaponsmith recipes for malduran bodkin arrows and broadhead arrows now make the correct arrows.
  • Harvest goblins and gatherers should no longer trap quite so many pelts.
  • Guildhall tradeskill writgivers will now correctly complete level 100 rush orders.
  • Overclocked Automated Combine Harvester will now display the correct stats for characters of all levels.
  • Corrected a bug that prevented gear dropped in the new agnostic dungeons from being salvaged.
  • The guildhall tradeskill writgiver now offers jewelers level 100 writs.
  • Martial deepstone cloak and mitigating deepstone cloak are now correctly crafted on sewing tables .

November 23, 2015 - ToT and Tiers

I have seen a lot of comments back and forth about ToT being a new tier. The best explanation I have come up with, to save confusion the next time there is a level cap increase and new gear is: "Consider it a side-trip in the progression, not a new tier." This helps explain why there are no new spells, no new white adornments, etc., as well as why there are old level 100 recipes and new level 100 recipes. :D

November 20, 2015 - Dhalgar Furniture

I have now added a page for the Dhalgar Blocks that can be made from the recipes granted by the Collector and Premium edition of the ToT expansion.

November 18, 2015 - Fishy Shinies?

Still a lot on my plate, including linking things into the proper sections on the main site, updating the furniture gallery, etc., but here is a small bit for today. Fish nodes in Thalumbra yield shinies for five different plushie collections, plus a meta collection from the hand-in of the five. I only have two of the collections finished so far, so the page is not complete, but I have blown the dust off the Cobalt Scar fish page and turned it into Fishy Shinies

November 17, 2015 - Terrors of Thalumbra Launch

Are you ready to learn more about the underground world that caused the golems and clockworks to appear during the Sundered Ground prelude event? To meet dhalgar and gnemlin and learn crafting techniques that have flourished here during the centuries of no contact with us? While you wait for the servers to come back from the expansion patch, check out the Terrors of Thalumbra Crafting Information Clearinghouse. You might also want to peek at the patch notes over on the Daybreak forums. (Note that the notes forget to mention the rosewood building block set, which was also updated during beta, but it should be ready and waiting in the proper carpenter books.)

As is usual, there are likely a few things that were forgotten or missed in my preview, and they will get updated as I trip over them. If you find something awry, please post to my forums.

Happy exploring, folks, and watch out for all those things with tentacles near the water ... lots of tentacles.

UPDATE: Servers are opening up now!

November 15, 2015 - Countdown to ToT

The Terrors of Thalumbra expansion is due to go live around noon Pacific on Tuesday, and I am still scrambling to finish all the preview stuff. At the very least, I will finish the shopping list portion of the quest article tonight, so folks can do some partial preparation in advance of Tuesday. In the meantime, there is a solid chunk of information to wade through in the Terrors of Thalumbra Information Clearinghouse including links to much eye candy (carpenter furniture, bought furniture).

November 13, 2015 - Expansion Reminder

If you are a level 100 crafter, and planning on doing the Terrors of Thalumbra crafting questline next week, be sure you have completed The Captains Lament beforehand. That quest (not the entire line, just that quest) is a pre-requisite for the questline in the expansion.

I will start throwing up more expansion information in a few hours, but wanted to get that information out now while thinking of it.

EDIT: As promised, the first tiny bit of the Terrors of Thalumbra Information Clearinghouse is up. There will be a lot of changes and additions from now until expansion time, as I start doing larger and larger brain dumps, so stay tuned!

November 09, 2015 - ToT - Crafter Buyables

I will be working on chunks of the Terrors of Thalumbra previews as the week goes on. I am running a bit behind, but here is some more eye candy to tide you over in the meantime. This page of ToT Crafter Buyables includes images of the new Maldura crafting equipment, as well as other buyables from the city of Maldura that crafters will be able to attain.

Enjoy!

November 07, 2015 - Extra Life In Progress!

I have been so busy actually doing the 24-hour gaming marathon for charity that I forgot to update the front page. Those wanting more information, or to sponsor me for this fabulous cause, can hit up http://extra-life.org/participant/eqtcmum

Those wanting status updates to see how/what I am doing through the day can hit up http://eq2.eqtraders.com/articles/article_page.php?article=g562. I may put up some EQ2 beta screenshots on there later in the day, though I was hoping to hit a higher donation mark before that point.

Update: Thanks to a very generous donation by an anononymous donor, I have thrown up some furniture screenshots from beta up on the above status update page.

Thank you SO much!

October 15, 2015 - Tradeskilling in Thalumbra

Want to know a bit more about the crafting side of things for the upcoming expansion? Domino delivers in this expansion preview: Tradeskilling in Thalumbra.

October 14, 2015 - Beware of ...

... killer rabbits?!

Yep, it seems we are in for a full week (through the 20th) of rabbits in Norrath turning into aggressive rabbits "with sharp pointy teeth!" Beware if you are especially squishy, as these bunnies are not kidding around!

Here is the Daybreak post about it.

October 07, 2015 - Of Bones, Bats ... And Children

In a few short hours, the annual Nights of the Dead 2015 celebration kicks off. You can read about it, and see the new eye-candy in Of Bones And Bats

And now, I get to do something I rarely do, stubborn independent redhead that I am! I am asking for help ... but not for myself or for the site. Yes, hubby is still laid off. Yes, the ad revenue and random donations are not as much as we would like. We are doing ok, though. Instead, I am asking for help for sick kids.

I have signed up to do the Extra Life for Kids 24-hour gaming marathon again this year. This tax-deductible (in the U.S., at least!) charity fundraiser raises money for the Childrens Miracle Network hospitals, and mine is specifically targeted for the nearby Rady Childrens Hospital in San Diego. As someone with a chronic illness, I know how overwhelming the pain can be, and how much a distraction such as game immersion can be a welcome form of pain-blocking. This is a lovely chance for gamers to make a positive effort in giving back to the community, so I am asking for donations for my November 7th marathon. You can find more information here. Thanks!

September 23, 2015 - Prelude: Sundered Ground

The next prelude event, Sundered Ground begins less than 5 hours after this post goes up. The reward for this phase of the event is a recipe book for all crafting classes that contains recipes for two full building block sets -- including triangles! Check out Prelude: Sundered Ground and take a look!

September 16, 2015 - Triangles!

The Malicious Threat prelude event has ended, but there is more prelude event goodness coming next Thursday. While you may or may not be a fan of lore, if you are a fan of building blocks, you might want to take a peek at what is in store as a reward in the Sundered Ground prelude event. Two stone-type building block sets, complete with triangle tiles! Huzzah!

August 18, 2015 - Upcoming Server Merges and ... Domino?!

There is a post on the Daybreak forums with details on server merges. In addition to containing information on the merges, and having links for folks to vote on the server names, there is a small tidbit that could be easily overlooked:

We are also thrilled that Domino – known as Emily Taylor – is back on the team to dig into the housing and crafting side of our game. Those who know her will remember she has very unique talents in that area of design!
You can read the thread here.

August 07, 2015 - Malicious Threat Next Week

Next week will see the start of a 1-month prelude event. I'm not going to spoil the details of what lovely bits of lore and hints of the future you will see, but, since it is on Test now, I'll happily show off the items that will be on the event vendor. (You can't view the vendor offerings until you finish the quest, so being able to see the items in advance may make you decide if you want to participate or not.)

Prelude: Malicious Threat.

For those who want to share a link in chat, here's the easier typing: http://tinyurl.com/eq2threat

Enjoy!

August 04, 2015 - Kelethin Love

Have you been to the Kelethin City Festival this month? If not, you may want to slip over there before it ends on August 7th, to pick up some of the lovely new furniture that has been added to the local offerings merchant, Chris Weathers. Images for the new items have been added to the Kelethin City Festival page

July 16, 2015 - Tinkerfest 2015!

Tinkerfest 2015 starts in a few short hours. You can read about it here. For those who prefer being surprised rather than checking out previews, a few things:

  1. You will need to learn gnomish before several of the Tinkerfest quests become available for you.
  2. The new titles that come with two quests are purchased on Tinkerfest vendor Myron after you complete the requirements for them.
  3. Only the upgraded pack ponies will bring back Tinkerfest cogs for you, so if you have your pack pony, but are unfamiliar with the upgraded version, you will want to check out A Gathering Obsession Beyond the Grave

In other news, I have added the crafted Erollisi Marr altars to the altar page. (The decorative shrine version is still mis-named in game, but hopefully that will be fixed soon. Until then, look for "decorative shrine of Rodcet Nife" on the broker, and examine the preview for the item to see which it is. If there are flower petals showing in the preview, it is the Erollisi shrine. :D)

July 09, 2015 - Yes ...

... there are problems with connecting to (and staying connected to) Daybreak games and their forums. No, there is not an ETA at this time. A tweet earlier from Smed indicated that it was a network issue upstream from them, but I have no other details or confirmation. Deep breaths, folks. {goes back to excavating her office}

Edit: and I was behind with the news because I do not use twitter. Apparently it is a DDOS attack. The children are at it again. {sigh} Really, go clean around your computer and stuff, pet your cat, hug your significant other, and so on. This, too, shall pass.

July 07, 2015 - Time-Locked Beta, Love and Stacking

The time-locked beta servers should be available for all-access members today. If you need help accessing the beta servers, Feldon has put together a step-by-step guide.

For those who have been clamoring to worship Erollisi Marr, the wait is over today! Good aligned players should speak with Sister Leela Prendyn in New Halas to begin their worship.

Finally, if you have been pulling your hair out about stacking issues with ammo, etc. in broker boxes and depots, it should be fixed today.
