Feeling Bewitched? Nights of the Dead is Here!

Did you hear that howl? Hijinks and haunts abound in Norrath, which means that Nights of the Dead has risen again!

 

From now until Thursday, November 1, 2018 at 11:59PM PT you can celebrate the most bone-chilling time of the year with these haunting features!

As always, there are a number of ways for Norrathians to join in on the spooky festivities! Crafters interested in putting together pieces to make their own Frankenstein forms can pick up a new book of recipes from the event merchants. Want to take advantage of the full harvest moon? Spend your nights hunting ghosts in Antonica and the Commonlands, investigating haunted locations, or grab a shovel and dig up a scary good time in any of the decorated cities! 

 

Wondering what spooktacular new features will be a part of this year's event?

Gear Up, Level Up Bonuses are Coming to Norrath!

Gear Up, Level Up has returned once more! Gear Up, Level Up is a time when bonuses become available throughout Norrath to help adventurers prepare for the season's upcoming expansion. This year, we've got a number of different bonuses slated that will all kick off starting next week!

If you're adventuring on a Live Server, you'll earn triple Ethereal coins from 12:01 AM on September 24, 2018 until 11:59 PM PT on September 30, 2018. During this same time period, All Access Members will also earn double currency. These bonuses will stack, which means members will earn six times the Ethereal currency

In addition to these ethereal bonuses, all players on Live Servers will also find themselves earning double planar gems and double Planes of Prophecy loot drops from 12:01 AM on September 24, 2018 until 11:59 PM PT on November 4, 2018! Double loot drops means the final boss in expansion dungeon zones will drop twice as much loot as usual.

Players on Progression Servers will be granted double currency and double Shadow Odyssey loot drops from 12:01 AM on September 26, 2018 until 11:59 PM PT on October 2, 2018! Just like with Live Servers, double loot drops means that you will earn twice as much loot from the final bosses in expansion dungeon zones!

Be sure to use this time wisely as you prepare for EverQuest II: Chaos Descending! The Elemental Planes will need a worthy hero to quell the chaos that is rising within them.

Days of Summer – Week Five

The fifth week of Days of Summer has arrived, which means it's time to meet up with Yun Zi to take on your next quest. Explore the Enchanted Lands for the bear, and you'll earn an Ascended Mastery Primer, an Ascension Focus Rune, a Divine Stamina Grant, a belt, bracelet, necklace and boots, as well as the Days of Summer 2018 Decoration Pack 5.

In order to take on this quest, you must ensure that you have already completed all of Yun Zi's previous quests!

 

Yun Zi will have a new quest ready on Tuesday, September 25th at 12:01AM PT. Quests will unlock each Tuesday until all 9 weeks of quests have been released.

 

Are you ready? It's time to pay a visit to the Enchanted Lands!
