Ruins of Kunark Launch Day!

Wow, I have been playing a long time. I was trying to find an old screenshot of Everquest: Rise of Kunark from March 2000 with my character riding on the rudder of the boat that went to the expansion area. I would have been to show people just how much has changed between EQ1 of 2000 and EQ2 of 2007.

(more…)

Now that the Ruins of Kunark beta NDA has dropped I can talk about the changes to tradeskills.

Below is the new crafting interface

New RoK Tradeskill screen

You will notice that reaction arts are now right on the screen. No more having to use up a hotbar with all those reaction arts.

The book of the left is a button to open the recipe screen.
The circle on the right is the cancel button

The biggest change is that there are no more apprentice 1-3’s
Instead of getting those, you would get your fuel back.

A couple of other tidbits.
Raw material crafting stacks are now 200!
The amount of raw mats went down for the final tier not up.

Logged in to EQ2 at 4:30am hoping to get the Sandcrawler mobs to myself to get some writs done.

But as usual they were camped. Now I remember why I don’t do writs.

 

Can you believe it, only 1 week until the release of Rise of Kunark!

The NDA is still in effect, which is surprising considering that the NDA for Echoes of Faydwer drop two week before release.

I bet its because of the fires out west, and hopfully not due to any problems.
