*** Tradeskills ***
- Make Poison - Updated the slow percentage and poison counter count of most ranks of Myrmidon's Sloth Poison Strike. Rank I is unchanged. Rank XIV will now offer the most potent slow percentage and highest number of poison counters at 66% and 36 respectively. All ranks in between have been rebalanced to improve in slow percentage and/or poison counters with each rank.

*** Quests & Events ***
- Duskmold - Fixed an issue with the twittering mounds and doomshriek mushrooms not dropping the Twittering Fungus Cap and Doomshriek Mushrooms.

*** Spells ***
- Shadow Knight - Moved the AC effect on the Torrent of Suffering Recourse line to avoid conflicts with other buffs.

*** AA ***
- All Classes - Added new ranks to the General AA, Energetic Attunement, increasing the maximum that your health regeneration can be increased with items by up to 45.
- Mana Classes - Added new ranks to the Archetype AA, Expansive Mind, increasing the maximum that your mana regeneration can be increased with items by up to 171.
- Magician - Fixed an issue with the Focus AA, Focus: Capricious Fire, that prevented all ranks from properly focusing Fickle Conflagration and all spells in the Chaotic Fire line.
- Rogue - Updated the Archetype AA, Escape, to no longer auto grant a free rank when The Shadows of Luclin expansion unlocks.
- Rogue - Updated the Focus AA, Improved Twisted Chance Discipline, to now focus the entire Twisted Chance Discipline line.
- Rogue - Fixed an issue with the Focus AA, Extended Easy Mark, that prevented all ranks from properly focusing Marked Effect and all spells in the Easy Mark line.

*** NPCs ***
- Fixed an issue in City of Mist where the black reavers and the elite named "they spawn" would clog the zone with very dangerous NPCs.

*** Overseer ***
- Added Terror of Luclin, Laurion's Song, and The Outer Brood poison making materials to appropriate rewards.

*** Progression Servers ***
- Increased the Evolving AA EXP bonus on Frostreaver by 50%, meaning the bonus is now 175%, and will increase to 200% at House of Thule, 225% at Ring of Scale, and 250% at Claws of Veeshan.

*** Miscellaneous ***
- Updated the achievements The Elemental Planes and The Plane of Time by making some components optional.
- Fixed an issue that could cause some members of a raid to not receive Achievement or Task credit when killing an NPC.
- Classic character models using a custom Velious helm will no longer briefly display a plate helmet when zoning in or changing race.
- Fixed an issue that caused the game client to crash after leaking a D3D device resource.
- Fixed an issue that could cause a world server crash while processing real estate.
- Added an on-screen message when a zone will repop soon.
- Updated the /emote command to include a special character (~) after the Player's name to denote the message is an emote.

*** UI ***
- Fixed an issue that caused the game client to respond to stray mouse up events if the mouse is over the game window when the button is released.
- You can now send multiple items in a single parcel!
- - To do this, hold down shift and left-click on any additional items you'd like to send.
- - You can change the modifier key (between shift, control, and alt) in the General tab of the Options Window.
- - Please note that when sending item(s) from a stack, you will be asked for the quantity at the time of item selection.
- - Up to 25 items can be sent in a single parcel.
- Moved the checkboxes for equipment sets in the Persona tab of the Inventory window to the left side.
- Fix an issue where overflow items disappear after changing persona/reloading the UI.

- Changed -
EQUI_Animations.xml
EQUI_Inventory.xml
EQUI_OptionsWindow.xml

*** Previously Updated ***
- Fixed an issue that caused mouselook movement to not function consistently.

EverQuest Test Server will be brought offline on Tuesday, October 20, 2026 at 8:00 AM PT for Database Maintenance. Estimated downtime is expected to be at 4 hours.


if that is just a DB maint, there shouldn't be an exe change

Thanks for the update Sic. Here to hoping there is not another real estate apocalypse. Some guilds are still recovering from the last one. =/
 
I think for us MQ players the updates DB is doing to the small things like something with window tabs. Does not make the UI look or work better. On our end there sure is a lot of work to be done so we can play.
 
27 years...so we can add more parcel stuff. Whats irritating now is it doesn't seem to recall who I just sent stuff too and I have to retype names.
it's kinda a weird feature. On one hand, kinda nice for the sender (yeah, it blanks out, but you can send 25 stacks at a time). I don't think you can bundle plat in with it, though.
Receiver pulls it out one at a time, though... which is lame.

Yeah this sucks, but what I have been doing is typing the name in a notepad, then copy & pasting it in the To: box so I don't have to keep typing the name over and over.
 
Majority of folks on that server box 3 toons if not a group. I say 80 percent of people on bertox use MQ or something similiar to play EQ daily.
I have gotten so used to MQ, I really forgot how to play my or didn't know how to play a class for real because CWTN did it for me. I am just getting back to EQ after a couple of years away. I've spent the past two days setting up ISboxxer and socials and have really been studying my CHR again. But with the ISbox route i really had to dumb down my group SK, SHM, BST and 3 mage
 
Friends by way I have 6 toons lvl 130 Krono'd and ready to raid in Bertox if we can get 24 toons into raid and 2 or 3 people have fun controlling them. There is so much that can be done, easily do 2 or 3 LS raids plus 1 raid in Outer Expansion. Pls send me message guys I don't have money to Krono 24 toons monthly, but would love raid.
 
Best delay i ever use. I put 7 traders on, for once. Made like 30 millions, i had so many items hanging in my bags. make it last one or two more days, or i wont stay focus and start playing again.
 
I made T3 gear for all the toons. Amazing how much stuff I had to make.
Also went and went over all the collections with the alts
 
Am praying that we can login today. I Am about renew my Mq2Shm plugin. I was planning on a successful LS raid with some friends. Omg Redbot just saw ur message, and am so happy thank u for all the hard and extra work you guys all put in. MQ2Shaman Renewed.
