Chronomages view the past as very wibbly-wobbly and have this tendency to fling adventurers into the past with wild abandon. Welcome to the 2024 Chronoportal Phenomenon, where players celebrate the 25th anniversary of the original EverQuest by revisiting special events from EQ's past. This event will run from 12:01 a.m. Pacific on March 1 through 11:59 p.m. on March 16, 2023. After the event is completed the merchants will move from the Chronoweave instance to Antonica and the Commonlands from March 14 through March 31, 2024.
The event this year will include all the returning buyables, the returning collection, the chronportal instances, the overseer series, more new buyables and a new collection. The live servers will also get a new painting in the Southern Desert of Ro Public Quest (PQ). The special rule servers will have the following content:
Glowing purple portals can be found in Myrist, the Coliseum of Valor, Antonica, The Commonlands, Enchanted Lands, Thundering Steppes, Steamfont Mountains, Lavastorm, Sinking Sands, Feerrott, and Moors of Ykesha that lead to the Chronoweave instance. There you will find Distun Dekli selling various items for the Ancient Platinum Coin currency. The following new items will be sold on this merchant for 1 Ancient Platinum Coin each.
