• Recipes that consume a Flawless Conflagrant Diamond and whose failure had a small chance to result in a Crushed Conflagrant Diamond will now instead always return the Flawless Conflagrant Diamond.

October 05, 2022 - New Level 100 Heroic Characters

Thinking about taking a character to 100 using the new Level 100 Heroic Character feature? If you're a tradeskill junkie listen up!

These new heroics will advance all tradeskills to 150. If you're going to do the Trophy Quests from the Prophecy of Ro, this means you'll have to do the Freshman versions of those tasks instead of the Beginner versions.

You might think about doing the Beginner's tasks in Crescent reach first and grabbing all the Beginner level trophy quests from Baublie Diggs in West Freeport before you redeem/apply the heroic to save yourself the trouble of having to complete Freshman level Trophy quests instead of Beginner level. Though some of the Freshman level quests aren't too onerous, some of them have a lot more uncommon ingredients you'll have to spend time/plat acquiring versus the Beginner Quests.

• Fixed a bug that could result in unexpected results when making a tradeskill combine.
• The progression AA Gift of the Dark Reign, Tenacity of the Dark Reign, Embrace of the Dark Reign, Power of the Dark Reign, and Fervor of the Dark Reign now require level 60.

March 16, 2022 - Happy Anniversary EverQuest!

Today marks the 23rd anniversary of EverQuest (and the original EQTraders Corner web pages that were hosted on my personal AOL webspace back then), and there are returning events in addition to new quests, a new mission and a new raid. There is also a reward just for logging in between now and April 20, 2022 and a sweepstakes that you can enter. Details can be found here.

Also, just a quick note for those who are seeing our web pages wrap oddly and smish into the menubar. Change the url from https://www.eqtraders.com to http://www.eqtraders.com and it should display properly. I have not had time to pester Ngreth about the https issue, to see if it can be easily fixed or if we just have to stop allowing https again. ~Mum

November 03, 2021 - Whoops!

It seems Ngreth want to change who handled our DNS, and it is taking a while for the various parts of the internet to update with the changes. I am sorry it went down with no warning and caused folks to panic.

Meanwhile, Jenn Chan has posted a new Producer's Letter with some interesting updates.

Annnndddd, if any of you want to track my progress on Extra Life game day this Saturday, you can follow my updates here.

October 28, 2021 - Playing it Forward

The next expansion beta is now in full swing. Nights of the Dead is underway. Daylight Savings time is less than two weeks away for most Americans. What does all that mean? It means it is almost time for me to "Play it Forward" with Extra Life along with the rest of Team Darkpaw.

What is Extra Life, and why am I, who tries very hard to not ask for help, pinging the community about it? It is a nonprofit charity where gamers raise money to help sick kids and the Children's Miracle Network Hospitals.

Being hospitalized for something major is scary. As I learned first-hand last year, being hospitalized for something major during a global pandemic is utterly terrifying. I cannot imagine how much worse it is for sick kids when they are cut off from their family, unable to have them visit, unable to have the comfort of a simple hug, and so on. It is bad enough during normal times, and these times are definitely not normal.

On November 6, 2021 I will join gamers from around the world in raising money for the Children's Miracle Network to benefit sick kids. The team I have joined, Team Darkpaw, features both staff and players of EQ and EQ2 and is raising money for the phenomenal Rady's Children's Hospital in San Diego.

Please consider donating if you can. (And if it is a choice between donating to the site and donating to Extra Life, please donate to Extra Life. Also know that I have already donated some of the money from recent site donations to the cause, and will likely donate more of it soon.) If you are already participating, or donating through a friend, thank you. If money is too tight and you want to do something to help, perhaps you can consider sharing a post on your social medial account highlighting this gamer-driven charity. Here are links for Team Darkpaw as well as my personal fundraising page through Extra Life. Add a link to your sig in the official forums for a week or so, tweet it, facebook it! If you're on Twitter, you can retweet the pinned tweet found here.

Thank you if you read this far. This is a wonderful way to show the world what determined and caring gamers can do. I now return you to your regularly scheduled escape from reality. ~Mum
