If you've been slacking when it comes to keeping up with <a href="http://massively.joystiq.com/category/everquest-ii"><em>EverQuest II</em></a> tradeskill news lately, the recent <a href="http://massively.joystiq.com/tag/gu-63">Game Update 63</a> (otherwise known as Skyshrine) featured quite a few noteworthy tweaks. <a href="http://massively.joystiq.com/tag/soe">Sony Online Entertainment</a> has posted a dev interview detailing some of the larger changes, including the addition of several hundred new craftable items.<br />
<br />
SOE's Brian "<a href="http://massively.joystiq.com/tag/brian-ferguson">Omougi</a>" Ferguson says that Carpenters and Alchemists got a lot of love during this patch, and combat-only players will be pleased to know that crafters can now make even more handy upgrades. There are two new consumables for each class archetype, and Ferguson is particularly fond of the tank versions which gives meatshields an additional 20% damage reduction for 12 seconds.<br />

Over this past weekend the <span style="font-style: italic;"><a href="http://massively.joystiq.com/tag/rise-of-kunark/">EverQuest 2: Rise of Kunark</a> </span>NDA was taken out back and shot to death with erasers, mere days before the expansion <a href="http://massively.joystiq.com/2007/10/23/everquest-ii-upcoming-expansion-details-set-sail-for-the-rise-o/">launches tomorrow</a>. Unfortunately, I only had access for a little over a week (QQ) and haven't had much time to play. This means any in-depth coverage coming from my brain is nil until I patch my sheepish brain later with more played time, but I do have some first thoughts. My first thought: I really should have played more. My second thought: I feel like I owe our readers a bit more than that, so, I ventured out and tracked down information dumps, thoughts, opinions, and screenshots from various sources who really delved in the <span style="font-style: italic;">RoK</span> beta. The consolidated roundup is after the jump. In no particular order and without further ado:<br /><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">[Last Updated 11/12/07 10:30PM PST]</span><p><a href="http://massively.joystiq.com/2007/11/12/everquest-2-rise-of-kunark-mega-information-link-overload/" rel="bookmark">Continue reading <em>EverQuest 2: Rise of Kunark - mega information link overload</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/2007/11/12/everquest-2-rise-of-kunark-mega-information-link-overload/">EverQuest 2: Rise of Kunark - mega information link overload</a> originally appeared on <a href="http://massively.joystiq.com">Massively</a> on Mon, 12 Nov 2007 22:52:00 EST.
