_____________________<br>
*** Missions ***<br>
- Lockout timers for missions are now fixed. You will no longer get the
50+ day lockout timers. Those that have these long lockout timers need
to log those characters into the game to have those timers reset
automatically for them. There is no need to petition to get them reset,
they will be reset automatically.<br>
- Orvin in West Commonlands should port players with the Zanivar quest.<br>
- The chance that you would loot the required items for the mission
Desert Crawl was increased.<br>
- Corgoth has remembered his obligations and has returned to the
Norrath’s Keeper faction. <br>
- Adjusted the experience reward for some of the monster missions to be
more in line with the time it is taking to complete them.<br>
- Kathi Norman is on vacation. She will return to help Griffins find
their eggs as soon as she can. (ooc: The mission she gave was just too
easy and is being retrofitted with more fun and challenge).<br>
- Lowered the difficulty of Warlord Drellak in the second mission of the
Walls of Xill mission line in Stoneroot Falls.<br>
- Some mission givers in Stoneroot Falls will now see through
invisibility. You may now communicate with them while having
invisibility up.<br>
*** Items ***<br>
- Evolving items that had the same recommended and required level will
now only report the required level.<br>
- Some Illsalin level 70 hard mission items have been slightly upgraded.<br>
- A few belts throughout Darkhollow now increase the size of your potion
belt.<br>
*** Quests ***<br>
– A few quest combines that had a lore result were failing. These should
now work properly. In some cases, you will still have the container <br>
when you are done with it. Do with it what you want. This includes the
combines for the Ranger and Druid epic 2.0 that were eating their <br>
containers.<br>
- The unbridled fury of Korbuk Brimblade will no longer bring unwanted
lag to Noble's Causeway.<br>
*** Shrouds ***<br>
- Modified the experience scaling for Spirit Shrouds, Evolving Items,
and Leadership Abilities to grant more experience at lower levels.<br>
*** AAs ***<br>
- The AA description for some of the new DoD AAs will now show the
proper required level.<br>
*** Tradeskills ***<br>
– Eureka! Players can now learn some of the Depths of Darkhollow recipes
that were so forgettable. <br>
- Nest Drake eggs now work with normal flour.<br>
- The new snake eggs found in Darkhollow make scrumptious dough,
noodles, egg batter, and snake egg oil.<br>
- We have fixed an issue with a tradeskill combines where the container
is lore and is also given back to the player after the combine is completed.
You will now be able to complete these combines again.<br>
- The EverQuest Team

- A few belts throughout Darkhollow now increase the size of your potion

Nerf bat grand slam

Fixing the bugged double exp mission wasn't enough, they went and added 2 hour lockouts and nerfed the AA to .5-.6 per mission on the others as well. Wow, .5 AA for 45 minutes of work? Thats seriously pathetic. I think any interest at all in monster missions was just completely obilterated. Might have someone do naggy once to try it, but they'd never do it again.
