*** Previously Updated ***

- Corrected the rewards for the quests Stomp the Invaders, Stomp the Defenders, and Tooth and Fist.



- The EverQuest Team
 
*** NPCs ***

- Heroic Adventure NPCs will now scale more appropriately at higher levels instead of being drastically easier than similarly leveled content.

Get the lube guys cause I bet they fuck this one up and the mobs in HAs ass rape the shit out of you for a few weeks until they tone them down.
 
So pet classes are getting buffed again? Jesus. Why bother playing a tank. My magician pet already tanks better than most players.

Post lvl-106. Makes me think the increase in power wasn't proportionate or whatever.

Then again, you could argue it didn't need to be because it was too good to start with... lol... but what's the fun in that?
