EverQuest II is so advanced that while it has only been around for five years, people are even now earning rewards for being with the game for six years!
How is that for progress?
There were some bonus months awarded for buying certain past expansions, something which probably seemed like a good idea to everybody except the people who had to come up with the rewards.
Anyway, they have announced what the six year rewards will be.
First, you get a hood and a cloak for your appearance slots, so everybody can see how long you’ve been around.
While the items are shown with the tag “of Destiny” the pictures on the site have the suffix “of Fate.” You can see them at the link up above.
Then there is the inevitable experience buff that must come with all veteran rewards. In this case, the Hammer of the Adept Hands will refill your trade skill vitality once every seven days.
Trade skillers rejoice… unless you’re already at the level cap… which you probably are if you’ve been around for six five years. Still, you’ll zoom back to the cap come the expansion!
And then there is what I will call “the good bit,” the Call of the Veteran.
It is not exactly clear to me how this will work, but it is supposed to make travel just that much more convinient in Norrath. From the announcement:
Never be left behind again! This trinket will allow you to teleport to a group member, bypassing those boat trips.
Probably the perfect thing for a nostalgia trip. You can get around, see the sights, and be back in the guild hall in time for dinner.
All of these pictures are from the EQ2 Players site.
If you are eligible, you should be able to /claim these items starting on December 9th.
