Jhet Bhlak Blog Added
I've decided to add a blog to make it easier
for me and users add comments to the site.
http://blog.jhetbhlak.com/
This will also allow me to Keep the main site for tools such as the
Dodh Mission Checklist
and the Advanced LDoN Search.
Ya, I know...dated information. But they are building blocks for better tools :)

EQ Traders - Recipes directly in EQ
EQTC added a function to their site that allows players to look up items and recipes for items
directly from the EQ command line. From EQTraders.com:
"When in Everquest:
You can do a lookup directly on any item by typing the following into your chat bar:
/www eqtraders.com/i?
Don't hit enter yet - first click the item in your inventory that you want to look up. Then
hit enter. Your default Web browser will open up directly to the EQTC page for that item,
if we have it in our database.
Notice that letter i right before the question mark? That i means item. Use this to get
information directly on the item. Now, what if you want to find out what recipes actually
use an item? Use this command instead:
/www eqtraders.com/r?
Notice the letter r instead of the letter i right before the question mark? The r stands
for recipes, as in "What recipes use this item?" It takes you to the same page as clicking
the "Find recipes that use this item" link on most of our item or search pages."

Software - Two Boxing
Now this looks like some interesting software. It lets you use one mouse and keyboard for
two computers. When the mouse runs off of one screen it goes to the next and you are on
that computer.

Default Old User Interface Update
With yesterdays patch the Default_old user interface broke...of course.
The good news is there is a fix to the files already. DrMysterio on the EQInterface.com boards has done a quick update
to the Default_old user interface created by Drakah.
To install the update all you have to do is
download this file, Unzip it and overwrite the files in your
Default_old UI directory with these new ones.
If you are still looking for a copy of the Default_old UI, you can
download it here:
http://www.eqinterface.com/downloads/fileinfo.php?id=4615 and then
install the update above.
Many, many thanks to both Drakah and DrMysterio!

Bonus Experience Weekend
Greetings,
We hope that everyone is enjoying all the features that The Buried Sea expansion has to offer.
The team worked hard to focus on content and features that would enhance gameplay, while reducing
the adventuring downtime in between. If you haven't tried it thus far, you can find information
about the expansion at eqplayers.station.sony.com.
We would like to apologize for the inconvenience of the amount of server downtime that has occurred
since the release on Tuesday. To help you enjoy this weekend, we are turning up the heat! Experience
will be increased fifty percent on Friday evening and will remain until Tuesday morning at 10 am
Pacific Time.
Enjoy!

Highlights
Throngs of undead trample the earth both night and day as Norrath's sun withers. With each
passing hour, the growing numbers of creatures of the night rising from crypt and grave seem
part of a grand design to overwhelm the lands.
Trouble also lurks deep beneath the Buried Sea off the coast of Odus in a city named Katta
Castrum which has remained undiscovered for hundreds of years. It is a city built to sustain
the beloved leader of the Combine Empire named Tsaph Katta who was poisoned by General Seru.
Generations of Combine Loyalists have tried to cure and awaken Katta while they house
threatened populations of Kedge, Shissar, and Sphinx. But in recent times, the artifact that
powers and protects their city has weakened. Without it, the city will be crushed under the
pressure of the sea.
Only the most intrepid Norrathians have the power to save them.
- Ship-to-Ship Combat: Cross the plank and fight for your life on the open seas as you
raid pirate vessels!
- Two Paths of Advancement: Battle pirates on the open seas or dive deep beneath the sea
to Katta Castrum, lost stronghold of the Combine Empire.
- New Missions: Take your group through more than 60 challenging new missions ranging from
defending merchant vessels against marauding pirates to uncovering the secrets behind the
combine city and the danger that threatens it!
- Guild Banners: Guilds can create a unique Guild Banner from a large selection of symbols
and colors. The banner becomes the mark of the guild and when enough guild members are in the
same zone (two groups), the guild leaders or officers can plant the banner in the ground.
While a guild banner is planted, members can use the Guild Hall portal to teleport directly
to the banner. This allows players to easily catch up with guild mates. The guild banner can
also be upgraded to provide different effects, like regeneration. Upgraded Guild Banners are
expendable, but provide an effect to everyone in the guild who is in range of the banner while
it is planted. Guilds can only have one standard up at a time. You can access Guild Banner
information through a tab in the Guild Window and banners will be sold in the Plane of
Knowledge.
- Fellowships: A Fellowship is like a mini-guild for those who play together regularly.
Fellowships have a maximum of six players and exist in addition to guilds. All members of
the Fellowship get a token, access to a Fellowship-only channel, and the ability to create
campfires when at least three "fellows" are in the same area. Fellows use their tokens to
transport directly to the campfire allowing them to catch up with their regular playmates
quickly. Campfires can be upgraded to provide effects to nearby Fellows. These upgrades are
expendable and need to be repurchased. A Fellowship can only have one campfire active at a
time. Randall of the Fellows in the Plane of Knowledge will register Fellowships. Fellowship
items are also available for sale in the Plane of Knowledge.
- Energeian Power Source Items: Tapping into the Combine Empire's technology, players gain
access to a new inventory slot for an Energeian power source. Particular pieces of Energeiac
armor will tap into Energeian power sources, gaining benefits from the type that is equipped.
For example, an Energeiac sword gains a chance to cast a fire damage spell if a fire Energeian
source is equipped or a frost spell if a cold one is. Energeian power sources are expendable
and will deplete as they are used, but can be changed on the fly to let players customize
effects simply by changing the Energeian source. Energeian items will be for sale from vendors,
found on monsters, and some can be tradeskilled.
- Toxxulia Forest: An updated Toxxulia Forest is now available that includes Kerra Ridge
and access to The Buried Sea expansion zones.
In Game Mail System
In order to improve the performance of the in game mail system, starting on February 20, 2007,
we will be implementing a routine purge that will clear out all in game mail that is more than 4
months old. This will be an ongoing process.
You can now use the Export feature. This new feature will grant players the ability to export
their in-game mail to a text file in the EverQuest directory. To use the new Export feature,
take the following steps:
- Open up the e-mail window (ctrl-E).
- Select the messages you would like to export by clicking them in the top pane, using
shift-click and/or ctrl-click if you would like to select multiple messages.
- Click "Export".
- The selected messages are then saved to a file in the EverQuest Mail directory with a
name in the format: SavedMessages__.txt.
-
- This export will need to be done with each character that has mail you wish to save.
Items
- Sharpshooting VII on Vae'Aender, Stitch's Bow now functions correctly.
- Geerlock Clockwork Contraption can no longer be used by frogloks.
Quests

- Performer's Psalm of Pyrotechnics and Weshlu's Chillsong Aria will no longer work on

have been increased across the board.
- Several level-capped spells from Serpent's Spine have had their maximum level increased
to 78: Echo of Misdirection, Spinning into the Void, Color Collapse, Dreams of Veldyn, and
Wake of Subdual.
- Debuffs that increase the damage the target takes from certain elements, (Icefall Breath,
Skin to Vines, Scent of Twilight, and Malosinise) now work on Damage over Time spells as well
as Direct Damage spells.
- Skin to Vines can be applied to a wider variety of NPCs.
- Icefall Breath now has an AC reduction component, as the spell's description indicated.
- The efficiency on Sting of the Queen has been reduced.
- Epic 1.5 and 2.0 effects now work up to level 75.
- Aspect of Elemental Agony for Mages has been swapped with a new spell: Mass Elemental
Transvergence.
- Blazing Stance no longer works on non-Wizard pets.
- Kindle is now a lower level version of Blazing Stance.
- The Raging Servant and Bestial Empathy pets summoned using a Spire Servant focus now have
an appropriate amount of hit points.
- Several Shadowknight hate-generation spells had their cast time lowered from 1.5 to 1.0
seconds.
- Echo of Misdirection has changed. It can no longer be used while the Monk is in combat.
The effect is now a targeted AE. Its range has been increased, its level cap was increased,
and the ability will not agro the target if it successfully lands.
NPC
- The skeletons in Dreadspire can no longer see through invisibility to undead.
Miscellaneous
- Tacvi, Inktu'Ta, Ikkinz, and Uqua now have the same entry requirements as their parent
zones (Txevu, Qvic, Kod'Taz, and Yxtta).
- Players are more buoyant than they were before. Notice how you don't sink when in water
now?
- The Ctrl-R-Click option has moved from the tradeskill window to the options window.
- Players can now use /chat while they are hovering over their body.
- A number of small issues with the bazaar trader logic have been addressed to make sure
any changes made to items, prices, stack sizes update appropriate for other players.
- When an NPC performs an AE Rampage, it will now emote "Soandso goes on a WILD RAMPAGE!"
Previously Updated
- Increased the number of spell runes that drop from the Large Events (Augment Events) in
Frostcrypt and Ashengate from 2 to 3
- Added a corruption augment to the drops for the Large Events (Augment Events) in Frostcrypt
and Ashengate

News Announcements - Wednesday January 24, 2007
I have added a Depths of Dark Hollow mission checklist.
To use the new DoDH checklist all you need to do is type your character name in the box and
click the 'Add Character' button. When you want to update the missions that a character has
completed all you need to do is to choose the character name from the dropdown list and then
click the + to indicate that you have completed that DoDH mission or click the -
to indicate that you have not completed the mission. Completed missions will appear in green
and incomplete missions will appear in red. All missions default to incomplete when a character
is added.
To reset all missions for a character, type the characters name in the text box and click the
'Add Character' button. This will reset all missions to incomplete.
