What's makes beating raids in <a href="http://massively.joystiq.com/2009/10/24/everquest-ii-aims-upcoming-complete-collection-at-new-players/"><em>Ruins of Kunark</em> and <em>The Shadow Odyssey</em></a> even better? Achievements, of course. That's why <a href="http://massively.joystiq.com/tag/soe">SOE</a> <a href="http://eq2players.station.sony.com/news_archive_content.vm?id=3317">is adding brand new achievements</a> to several heroic zones and raids to those two expansions. Players will be challenged by several new goals, such as Flawless Victory, which requires finishing an encounter without losing a single party member. Other achievements involve winning a raid encounter with three or more people less than the maximum and clearing a raid or heroic zone within a set time limit.<br />
<br />
Obviously, these challenging new achievements wouldn't be worthwhile without a reward. The form of said reward comes as three new titles: the Dragonslayer, the Urgent and the Flawless. We'd point out which titles go with which rewards, but we're pretty sure you've got it figured out. In our opinion, the Dragonslayer title is probably the coolest sounding, what with the dragon murdering and all that. Being "Urgent" sounds kind of cool but in a confusing way, like when your friends tell you they blew up a car, until they reveal it was, in fact, your car.<br />

Earlier in the week we spotlighted leaked photos of <a href="http://massively.joystiq.com/2008/01/28/pictures-of-monk-and-bruiser-epics-emerge/">two of the twenty-four Epic weapons</a> being introduced in <a href="http://massively.joystiq.com/category/everquest-ii"><em>EverQuest II</em></a>'s Game Update 42 this Tuesday. Today we got our greedy little hands on the concept art behind another one, the Swashbuckler epic, a sword (rapier?) dubbed "Charm's Way." You can click on the image to see a larger version.<br /><br />These class epic weapons will only be acquired at the end of a long quest whose steps are not revealed. Players will have to piece together the clues spread across Norrath to even find the quest starter. No pre-released guides for these bad boys. Why? A short history lesson going back into MMO history explains all.<p><a href="http://massively.joystiq.com/2008/01/30/exclusive-swashbuckler-epic-concept-art-revealed/" rel="bookmark">Continue reading <em>Exclusive Swashbuckler Epic concept art revealed</em></a></p><p style="padding:5px;background:#ffffcc;border:1px solid #ffff99;clear:both;"><a href="http://massively.joystiq.com"><img src="http://massively.joystiq.com/media/feedlogo.gif" alt="Massively" style="float:left;padding:0 5px 5px 0;" /></a><a href="http://massively.joystiq.com/2008/01/30/exclusive-swashbuckler-epic-concept-art-revealed/">Exclusive Swashbuckler Epic concept art revealed</a> originally appeared on <a href="http://massively.joystiq.com">Massively</a> on Wed, 30 Jan 2008 16:30:00 EST.
