EQ2 Chronoportal Event, Moonlight Enchantments, and more

There's a few things going on in Everquest 2 this week. One is the annual Chronoportal Event which starts today and runs until the 28th. This event comes around during original Everquest's birthday. EQ is celebrating 13 years this year. During the event you can hop through portals in 8 different zones which take you to an instance that might bring back some memories of your EQ days. The instances are intended for groups but as an Illusionist I found all but the Lavastorm portals soloable when using a tank mercenary like the Shadowknight. Each instance is a different level and you are automatically mentored down to an appropriate level. You will not however have your level raised should you want to do an instance much higher than your actual adventure level. The instances have an 18 hour lock out after you kill a named. The final boss of each will drop a chest containing 2 platinum coins, an adornment and some gear that is appropriate to the level of the instance. From what I can tell all items are tradeable or heirloom so you can give the items from the lower level instances to your alts. You can spend the platinum coins at merchants in Antonica and Commonlands. They sell replicas of the bosses for your home, books, paintings and a harp. HERE is all the details over at ZAM.

Also today and tomorrow is Moonlight Enchantments. This is the monthly event where mushroom rings pop up in certain zones and you complete quests for tokens to buy house and vanity items. HERE's the post I have written about them in the past.

There will be a new backpack on the Marketplace soon. The devs couldn't keep the news to themselves so they gave us a preview. The backpack called the Heraldry Flag Backpack holds a flag which will display your guild's logo on it. No word on the price yet.

I also missed posting about the latest Marketplace items so here they are...

Shadowforged Cinder Gi- 1200SC

Guilded Vanity Set- 400SC

Dragon Fang- 500SC

EQ2 New Marketplace Items- tiara, Heartsfire, and faedrake petamorph wand.

Tiara of the Depths- 500SC

Heartsfire- 400SC

Everlasting Petamorph Wand: Faedrake- 100SC

(turns your combat pet into a faedrake for 2 hours or untl it's killed, wand has unlimited uses)

Also a new 100% XP bonus potion was added for 1800SC, the Extended Potion of the Advanced. It is one use, lasts four hours and grants the bonus to adventure, AA and tradeskill XP. 

Double XP, Marketplace Sale, and only a few more days of Erollisi

This weekend has plenty to do in EQ2. If you haven't finished up getting your Erollisi titles, stocking up on candy and love notes for crafting those E-day recipes year round or any other lovey type stuff you wanted to complete you only have a few more days. Erollisi Day celebrations are scheduled to end midnight on the 20th. I know I didn't make an official Erollisi Day blog post so if you want to see all that you can do and get your hands on during this holiday event, head on over to ZAM or EQ2Traders for the always awesome write ups.

Also this weekend will be a President's Day Double XP (17th-20th) and Station Marketplace rebate sale (18th only). The sale will work a bit differently than most SC sales. Instead of items being marked a % off you will purchase items at full price and receive 50+% SC back after you make the purchase. So if I understand the concept correctly, if a 1000SC item has a 60% rebate making the item 400SC and you only have 400SC in your account you will not be able to purchase it. You will have to buy more SC to purchase the item at 1000SC and then get your 600SC back.

So enjoy the weekend in and out of MMOland.
