Travel to the new zones

Head to Sinking Sands to the D.I.R.T.Y. Excavation Site where there is now an airship which will take you to the overland zone Moors of Ykesha.

Moors of Ykesha is an overland zone packed solid with quests aimed at 70+ so if you are on your own and want to dive straight in, this is the place to be.

While you are there, be sure to make future travel easier by harvesting the bush at the druid ring.

Heroics

Groups of adventurers will no doubt be rushing to take a look at the new dungeons spread out all over Norrath. These dungeons offer heroic missions as well as raid instances.

There are three dungeons which scale their content for adventuring groups ranging from levels 50-80. The entrances are as follows:

• Befallen in Commonlands
• Miragul’s Phylactery in Everfrost
• Najena in Lavastorm

There are an additional five static dungeons aimed at adventuring groups from 70-80.

• Guk and The Void have entrances in the Moors of Ykesha
• Nuroga and Veksar have entrances in the Fens of Nathsar
• Mistmoore has an entrance in the Loping Plains

The EQ2 Wire has compiled this list of TSO Dungeons with Locations & Difficulty based on comments made by beta players and Ilucide.

Tradeskillers

• There is now a Signature Quest aimed at crafters. Speak to Qho Augren in the Village of Shin, swimming in the pond at -30, 10,-113 for A Gathering Obsession (level 70)
• Travel to the Moors of Ykesha and speak to Aymee Quickspoke at the airship landing spot. She has a level 50+ tradeskill quest to start you on your way with the new crafting factions in the Shadow Odyssey
• Explore the brand new Tradeskill Group Instances. Once you’ve made yourself known to the Far Seas Trading Company through Aymee’s quest, head back to the old lands and explore the new tradeskill instances:
  • The Clockwork Workshop in Steamfont
  • The Shipyard Cove in Commonlands
  • Firemyst Gully in Antonica
• Finish off your red shiny collections by heading over to Greater Faydark where you’ll find two new collections with flowery rewards.

Not enough detail for you? EQ2 Traders Corner has a Crafting Quick Reference with a write-up of the quests and new items based on Beta information.

Heritage Quests

There are five new Heritage Quests: get the scoop at EQ2Players news. Spoilers are already in progress on EQ2i’s Heritage Quests Timeline.

Broken Toys analyzes the pre-launch cock-ups:
When World Of Warcraft Fails, It Fails HARD

Did I miss anything? Because when an MMO failure is so large even Prokofy Neva notices from deep within the SL bunker, you know it’s kinda a big deal.

Wow-Insider posts details of a serious power leveler:
Nymh of EU Drek’thar first to level 80

Nymh’s Armory displays her (him?) as an SL/SL Warlock, which I’ve been told is an exceptionally good grinding spec, especially when coupled with a healer. Judging by her buffs in the full screenshot, it looks like she just may have had a pocket healer on the journey to 80.

Massive Gamer interview J. Allen Brack:
Wrath of the Lich King: Exclusive Launch Interview

Only hours removed from the largest scale MMOG expansion launch in history, Wrath of the Lich King Production Director J. Allen Brack spoke to Massive Gamer about the latest addition to the World of Warcraft family, how it’s been received, their preparation for it and the issues they’ve run into along the way.

13 ‘Lich King’ Tips For ‘World of Warcraft’ Newcomers

You’re not that far behind. The game has been adjusted to allow new players to level faster. Quests now give more experience points, and the experience points needed to go from level to level has been reduced. To boot, characters can now obtain mounts at level 30 instead of level 40, making questing easier and faster.

Word of Warcraft start updating their documentation:
WoW -> Info -> Basics -> Public Transportation

Fly the skies of Azeroth! World of Warcraft features an advanced flying transportation network. Players can unlock flying routes, then buy tickets to ride flying mounts over long distances to reduce walking time. Players can travel on four types of air mounts and in Goblin Zeppelins (more on that later).

I know, you are new to the Kingdom and it’s just a campground but that doesn’t mean you can’t fix the place up a bit.

First things first, there is no way you can possibly get a decent night’s rest sleeping on the ground. Even the lowliest Accordion Thief has a tent for shelter. The better your dwelling, the more HP and MP you regain when you rest there and the more protection you will have if you decide to take part in player vs. player combat.

Newbiesport tent

Go to the Market in Seaside Town and buy a tent for 40 meat.

Stake it down and there you have it, a comfy spot to sleep from day one. Even the lowliest newbie can afford a tent.

Barskin tent

If you are level two, though, you shouldn’t need to buy a tent as you can make your own.

1. Head over to the Spooky Forest in the woods and start adventuring. Your goal is to kill bars until you receive a bar skin.
2. As you are fighting, you should run into the famous Vampire Hunger G. He’ll give you some wooden stakes (assuming you don’t already have some)
3. Combine the bar skin and the wooden stakes with the help of some meat paste and you’ll make a barskin tent. Hurrah!

Cottage

For the truly discerning adventurer, this comfortable little cottage is the best option for anyone under level 9.

1. Adventure at the Outskirts of Cobb’s Knobs and you’ll gain a number of different food items, including a bowl of cottage cheese. Collect one of these, making sure not to eat it!

2. Anticheese is more difficult. It is an uncommon drop at a higher level, at which point the cottage is no longer desirable.

   The easiest option by far is to buy this from another player at the flea market in Seaside Town.

   If you wish to get this on your own at low level, you’ll have to take multiple trips with the Shore, Inc. Travel Agency:

   1. Complete the initial quests from your chief in your guild
   2. Complete the Bitchin’ Meatcar Quest from your guild in order to get access to Desert Beach. there is a full write-up at the KoL wiki: Bitchin’ Meatcar Quest
   3. Travel to Desert Beach and choose the Distant Lands Dude Ranch Adventure - note, this costs 3 adventures at 500 meat per trip.
   4. Receive the anticheese as a random drop from Testing Grounds, 1…2…3… sequence at the Distant Lands Dude Ranch Adventure

House

This is the nicest low-level dwelling available for your campsite.

1. Achieve level 9
2. Visit the Council of Loathing and you’ll be told that they have received mail for you: a strange leaflet.
3. Use the strange leaflet in your quest items and you’ll find yourself trapped in a text adventure. Explore the adventure (this can be done in stages, type exit to return to KoL and read the leaflet again to return to the adventure) and find the treasure chest in a cave. Inside of it is a Frobozz Real-Estate Company Instant House [TM]. (Full spoiler is on the KoL wiki at Strange Leaflet Walkthrough)
4. Use the Frobozz Real-Estate Company Instant House (TM) from your west items inventory and hey presto, you now have a house.

Congratulations! You are now at least a step above the hobos passed out in the back alleyway clutching their bottles of Mad Train Wine. It’s a start.

Stay tuned for our next addition of KoL Better Homes and Gardens, featuring good feng shui, practicalities of getting a maid and why every household needs a bartender-in-a-box.

Harvesting tools can be made by woodworkers and tinkers.

Tools made by woodworkers require a minimum level to use but this can be either adventure or artisan level. There are separate tools for each harvesting skill:

• Pick: Mining
• Shovel: Gathering
• Saw: Foresting
• Fishing Pole: Fishing
• Trap: Trapping

Tinkered tools require a minimum artisan level to use. They have combined skills and thus there are only three different tools:

• Pickaxe: Mining
• Shears: Gathering and Foresting
• Watersafe Net: Fishing and Trapping

The following is a table of all of the tool types with the requirements and benefits of each:

In addition, there is a level 80 tinkered item, the Collapsible Fishing Pole. This reduces harvest time for fishing by 2.5 seconds and must be wielded in order to fish in the magma of Skyfire.

Take a look at your choice of classes:

• Seal Clubber
• Turtle Tamer
• Pastamancer
• Sauceror
• Disco Bandit
• Accordion Thief

Obviously, I was immediately intrigued at the idea of playing a Pastamancer but to be honest, what sold me on the game was the Altar of Literacy. Located in Seaside Town, the ghost of the English language has a simple set of questions to prove you understand the most basic of grammar rules before you can use the chat system. That’s when I knew I’d found a home.

Benefits of Kingdom of Loathing

In this day of high-tech MMORPG’s on every corner, why would you waste time playing a web based game with only the most basic of black and white sketches? Kingdom of Loathing has some clear advantages:

• Log in from any computer, anywhere. If you have Internet connectivity and a browser, you can play Kingdom of Loathing.
• Fast fix. With only five minutes spare, you can still get ahead in Kingdom of Loathing. And because it’s turn based, you can stop playing at a drop of a hat and pick up the session later.
• Pause button. When you stop, the world stops. No need to rush to a safe spot or ask people to wait while you log off.
• Constant Updates. New content is constantly being added and it’s all free!
• Haiku Chat. Speaking in haiku / Quite strenuously enforced. / How can you resist?.
• All the cool people play it. It’s true!

The Escapist says that Kingdom of Loathing has 1,000 - 1,500 new players sign up each day and 100,000 - 150,000 regular players. That sounds massively multiplayer to me, so I’ve created a new category here for Kingdom of Loathing updates and guides. The next time you are waiting for your game to patch or worse, stuck in a server queue, why not head on over to Kingdom of Loathing and see what you think?

Meanwhile, I need to get a polka-dot bow tie so I can defeat Beelzebozo, the Clown Prince of Darkness, for my Legendary Epic Weapon. I’ll see you at the Fun House.

Complete the D.I.R.T.Y. Collection

The purple shinies at the D.I.R.T.Y. site are now all in place for the Excavation Trinkets Collection. Although it has been confirmed that the shinies will remain in place for gathering after the live event has finished, it is unlikely that there will be any way to get the helmet in order to see them.

I’d like to complete this collection on all my characters as the reward is a house item which includes a port to the D.I.R.T.Y. site - which just happens to be the location of the airship to the Moors of Ykesha. Useful!

Clear my Quest Journal

The new zones are chock full of quests and I don’t want to be struggling to add them. I’ll be going through the journal with a strict rule: complete it now or delete it. I don’t mind doing gray quests but a lot of these have been hanging around my journal since the Echoes of Faydwer launch. If I haven’t found the motivation to do it by now, I may as well get it out of my journal.

Alternate Achievements

I’m looking forward to the new AA lines and although I’m at the cap, I’d like to have a head start when the expansion goes live. To do this, I’m finishing quests to the final stage which I can then complete once the cap is raised.

I’m making sure that I finish all the collections I can. I usually try to collect all the pieces myself but in the interests of a good tidy, I think I’ll pass by the broker and see what I can pick up without paying too much. I’d also like to pick up the missing pages for my tome collections now that they are tradeable.

Lore and Legend quests are another option for gathering AA, I’ll just have to remember not to examine the final body part until the AA cap is lifted. I’ve got half a dozen of these left to complete and it’s about time they got out of my journal.

Read the Zone Previews

I don’t want to see any spoilers as I love the feeling of walking into new areas and discovering what’s there. But I am looking forward to reading the teasers available on EQ2players including The Shadow Odyssey Zone List.

TSO Zone Previews published to date:

• Befallen – Cavern of the Afflicted
• Najena’s Hollow
• Mistmoore: Evernight Abbey and Ravenscale Repository
• Miragul’s Phylactery

Cleaning Out the Bank

The new bank slots have made life a lot easier but a clear-out would still come in useful as I’m a bit of a packrat. I’ll be getting out the bleach and a stack of plastic bags to throw the trash into and spending an hour getting organized. I’m sure there will be lots of new things to store soon.

What about you? What are you doing to get ready for the new expansion?

Tipa tells us all about the Loping Plains Haunted House in EQ2:

West Karana » EQ2: The Loping Plains Haunted House. Scared yet?

Loping Plains hasn’t seen THIS much action since the Freethinkers threw that Christmas party and the Pumpkin-Headed Horseman barfed seeds and pulp all over Mayong Mistmoore. Everyone was talking about that for months.

Stargrace fills us in on the Everquest seasonal events:

MmoQuests.com » EverQuest Halloween Events

The costumes are a LOT of fun. You can become pretty much any scary creature at all that’s available in EQ, not to mention the fact that there are accessories! Want to wield a broom? A bucket filled to the brim with treats? Then that’s no problem at all. Looking for free treats and goodies to stock pile? There’s a vendor for that too, and what’s more is that they’re all free, no charge. The costumes do have limited charges, and are no rent which means they’ll poof if you log out for too long (they also dissolve on zoning) but the food (although no trade) will stick around later (I filled up my bags, I couldn’t help it, the stats were so nice!).

Ysharros gives some first impressions of WAR’s open RvR special, the Witching Night:

Witching Night in WAR « Stylish Corpse

So far I’m a little ambivalent about this event, or what I’ve seen of it today — which was only tier 2, with Amariel (the Archmage).

The good includes how much fun it is to have gigantic moshes in open RvR; at one point there were 30+ on the Order side in the Troll Country Witching Night PQ, and probably 20-25 Destruction. We owned them several times over, despite having to continually ask our own side to move back *inside* the PQ area.

No one seems to be blogging about their experiences in Kingdom of Loathing but the KolWiki has all the details you need to follow the event:

Halloween - TheKolWiki

Halloween is that time of year when Adventurers dress up and scam candy off total strangers. Or something. It occurs each Porktober 8. To go trick-or-treating, you need an outfit. Each round of trick-or-treating costs an Adventure, and is available from the main map

And the WoWInsider has a detailed guide for World of Warcraft’s Hallow’s End event:

Hallow’s End 2008 guide (updated) - WoW Insider

And, while these aren’t quests, don’t forget to trick-or-treat at innkeepers all over Azeroth and Outland for various goodies and neat tricks like pumpkin heads, masks, and magic wands. Don’t forget to visit the Wickerman Festival, done at 8:00 pm server time outside of Undercity each night of Hallow’s End.

And finally, a wonderful response from the Lich King regarding the complaints of WoW being overrun by zombies (via Broken Toys):

World of Warcraft - English (NA) Forums -> Announcement from the Lich King;

My deepest apologies.

It is my understanding that my invading forces, in their attempts to besiege your cities and snuff out all life on Azeroth, have inconvenienced the activities of common civilians. In the future, I will ensure that your commanding officers are informed well in advance of planned invasion times so that they may properly fortify themselves.

I have also looked into the issue of my plague being too quick in its purpose and too difficult to cure. Please be reassured that I have taken the matter up personally with my top necromancers and that any further incarnations of said plague should be only a slight challenge for your natural immune systems to overcome. Please forward any additional complaints to either Kel’thuzad or Anub’arak.

Regards,
the Lich King Arthas.

Hey, all we want to do is eat your brains…

Happy Hallowe’en everyone!

Provisioner’s Mastery Volume 1

This initial volume is gained by doing the initial Grandmaster quest, Journeyman Service. You must have level 20 in order to receive the quest.

Beghn’s Death-by-Chocolate Cake

This chococolate cake may not be quite what you expect: it’s for throwing, not eating. This harmless ammunition comes with its own animation for the user and the target. Cover your friends in chocolate for a fatal hit that they might just forgive you for.

Hair of the Dog

Sometimes the hair of the dog is not the best thing for you. The hint is in the description: do not consume in any situation where remaining vertical is desirable. Although one sip of this will leave you flat out on the floor, don’t make the mistake of thinking you can use it to fake your way out of trouble - we can still see you moving!

The Jester’s Cap

“I’m not feeling myself today” is no longer an empty platitude with this tasty drink in a lovely stone stein. Become a denizen of Freeport for a few hours with this 6-hour illusion which randomly selects a newer, more evil you every time you zone.

Provisioner’s Mastery Volume 2

The second volume of the Provisioner’s Mastery series is awarded to provisioners who complete Tradesman Service, the level 35 grandmaster quest. You must have completed Journeyman Service in order to receive this quest. Volume Two includes recipes for Brasse’s Dwarven Battle Bread, Forget Me Not and The Queen’s Masquerade.

Brasse’s Dwarven Battle Bread

You don’t have to be a Dwarf to use this battle bread but it might make it more palatable. Named after everyone’s favorite battle dwarf, Brasse, this sturdy loaf offers 10 charges of “Throw Bread” - for when chocolate cake simply doesn’t send the right message.

Forget Me Not

A sip of this claret-colored liquid will make you look at yourself in a completely new way. You’ll find you can conjure up a mirror out of nowhere for this a silly self-absorbed animation letting everyone know who you love best.

The Queen’s Masquerade

Walk a mile in someone else’s shoes with this upmarket version of the Jester’s Cap. Drink straight from the bottle to take on the look of a born-and-bred Qeynos citizen and watch your friends and family stare.

Provisioner’s Mastery Volume 3

The third and final volume (so far!) of the Provisioner’s Mastery series is rewarded for the level 40 grandmaster quest. This book has only two recipes but what wonderful recipes they are: Frizznik’s Projectile Gnomish Pudding is a requirement for every Frostfell table and the Vampiric Toothache is truly one of a kind.

Frizznik’s Projectile Gnomish Pudding

Who would attach a launching system to a chocolate pudding? Silly question, I guess! But you don’t have to be a Gnome to enjoy this great gag: simply target your friends and launch! We do not recommend using this in conjunction with Beghn’s Death-by-Chocolate Cake - it is possible to have too much of a good thing, you know!

Vampiric Toothache

Get your fangs out with this sharp little drink and take a bite on the wild side. This two hour illusion shifts slightly as you zone but you’ll remain well-dressed and mysteriously pale throughout. It just goes to prove that blondes really do have more fun!

Posted by Taymar on http://www.mmorpg-info.org.

Rewards: Formal Cloak with +5 for your tradeskill and +175 vs heat, Bert’s Big Book of Health (furniture item)
Your choice of a tier 6 advanced recipe book of the appropriate class
(Provisioners do not get any new recipes as a result of this quest)

Senior Crafter Service
Level: 65
Required: Travel to Tenebrous Tangle to find the lost harvesters. After following the clues to them, find a vigilant froglok alchemist. He’ll ask you to do some local harvesting (must be done at this point of the quest) to create a drink in the Hidden Refuge. Deliver the drink and gather 25 hanging roots (neither purchase nor trade will work) before returning.
Rewards: Artisan’s Formal Ensemble
Your choice of a tier 7 advanced recipe book of the appropriate class
(Provisioners do not get any new recipes as a result of this quest).

There are so many online comics no one could hope to catalog them all and even limiting them down to comics about gaming leaves us with an excess to deal with. But my very favorite comic strips are just that little bit old school: modern online comics about traditional tabletop gaming.

Here are my favorites: a quick taste of the very best tabletop comic strips online today.

In true epic tradition, all of these comic strips are heavy on plot so you’ll want to start from the beginning and work your way forward. It may look like a lot of catching up but I bet you find yourself sighing unhappily when you realise that you’ve reached the end.

No collection of online gaming comics would be complete without mentioning the finest adventurers in the land, The Order of the Stick by Rich Burlew. I can’t help but be entranced by a comic strip that describes itself as being about role playing games, comedy and hot dwarf-on-dwarf action.

Six brave stick-figure adventurers embark on a semi-epic journey to overcome hardship, villainy, and the rules of their favorite fantasy roleplaying game in The Order of the Stick. Read as Roy, Elan, Belkar, and the rest of the OOTS cast face off against power-mad liches, snippy goblin’s henchmen, rebellious teenagers, clown puppets, and their own crushing incompetence.

A hysterical tale of gamers trapped in an epic, DM of the Rings is created from stills (in order) from the Lord of the Rings films. The author describes the scenario more eloquently than I could:

Imagine a gaggle of modern hack-n-slash roleplayers who had somehow never been exposed to the original Tolkien mythos, and then imagine taking those players and trying to introduce them to Tolkien via a D&D campaign.

When DM of the Rings ended, a group of users decided to carry on in the same tradition and thus Darths and Droids was born. Still in progress, this strip is a similar concept (a group of RPG players thrown into an epic plot shown by still frames of the actors) but based on the Star Wars movies.

(One) of our goals is to explain how some of the stranger elements of the canonical Star Wars setting and story might have come to be. The comic takes place in an alternate universe, where Star Wars does not exist. The players don’t know anything at all about Jedi, or Tatooine, or Anakin Skywalker before the game begins. The GM has some sort of storyline and setting details in mind, but not fully detailed. He creates the setting in response to what the players do. If the players make some (not patently ridiculous) assumption, or improvise something in order to explain what they’re doing, then the GM adopts it and adds it to the setting.

A view from the other side of the gaming table can be found in Goblins a long-running comic strip about the trials and tribulations of NPC goblins trying to hold their own against pesky D&D adventurers.

A warcamp of goblins prepare for an attack from a party of adventurers; however, their planning is in vain and the adventurers manage to wipe out the majority of the goblin clan, though at the cost of more than half their own party. In the midst of battle with some of the last survivors, Forgath, the cleric of the adventuring party, realizes that the goblins are not evil and spares their lives, while Minmax, the party’s fighter, gets in a losing battle with Complains-Of-Names, a cunning goblin who broke with tradition to gain the upper hand in the fight. The battle is ended by the intercession of the goblins and Forgath, and the goblins flee their camp.

Now an online comic, the initial strips of What’s New with Phil and Dixie are scanned in. The strip follows Phil and Dixie’s attempts to offer a monthly review of what’s new in the D&D world, with chaotic results.

What’s New ran in Dragon Magazine from 1980-1983. We didn’t have the Web back then, but if we had, we would have put What’s New online. What the heck. Better late than never.

Caveat: This strip contains occasional sexual innuendo.

Unforgotten Realms is a flash series (requires sound) about Mike and Rob, two nerds who want to be heros. The original series starts with Mike trying to explain character creation to Rob.

Unforgotten Realms is the epic tale of Sir Schmoopy of Awesometon, the dual nunchuk-wielding sorcerer and Eluamous Nailo, Master Wizard in training (AKA Rob and Mike) and their animated adventures in the Unforgotten Realms (AKA, Mike’s homebrew role playing game).

Dork Tower is much more of a traditional comic and unlike the others you can dip in and out rather than reading the entire strip in order. However, starting from the beginning allows you to really appreciate the character development and what the hell, you weren’t getting anything done today anyway.

DORK TOWER is for anybody who’s ever played Dungeons and Dragons, who’s ever gone to a Star Trek convention, anyone who suspects that Anime is more than just a passing fad, or anyone who KNOWS one of these people. But it’s really for people who know what saving rolls you need to make against a level III Demon, which Classic Trek episodes involved the Prime Directive (and who were the directors), and the names of six minor characters and a dog in the Bubblegum Crisis.
