EverQuest's 6th Anniversary
--------------------------------------
To help celebrate the 6th Anniversary of EverQuest, a fresh scavenger hunt has been added. Check in Firiona Vie, Overthere, or Dreadlands for more on this quest. Finish this challenging hunt and you will receive a potion that doubles your experience for 30 minutes and comes with 10 charges.
Your old friends, the Fabled NPCs have returned to Norrath and bring the fabled versions of their items with them. Look for new Fabled NPCs in your favorite Kunark zones.

General
--------------------------------------
- Increased the spell rune drop rates for Greater Muramite Runes and Glowing Muramite Runes in Muramite Proving Grounds and Riftseeker's Sanctum. - Reduced the number of mobs that will summon in Veksar.
- Volkara in the Volkara's bite mission has been made a little more challenging.

And there was no mention of pie, therefore I had to choose the next best stuffs.

In addition to the bolded items (yay, I might actually get group Oak now!), add making the wood elf tradeskill quest more friendly too! All those with the Stillmoon drops are well done and doing the trades. I've yet to get an instance going for Thundercrest to get my trade drops. Will log on shortly to hopefully see what the change is for us. :)

Also I really enjoyed last years scavenger hunt. Looking forward to doing this one too!

Lol, it's the things like scavenger hunts and fabled npc's that have the most draw in making me want to run the fields of Norrath again :). Glad they put them in!

Really sad thing is that even after being "retired" for several years, I can still tell you where to find the majority of those mobs =/

Except for maybe "Rahotep Lockjaw" - that one threw me for a loop till my brain processed the fact that it needed a (br) between them. Mental image of a giant mummy croc.

The last time they had fabled items dropping, I spent time gathering drops as my monk. I don't recall any items worth while for a Druid. Anyone remember if there was any?

Most the high end Kunark targets (Venril Sathir, the dragons, etc.) seem to have Quarm-level loot and hit in the 4-5K range. It's hardly worth the effort unless you're doing it for fun. The low-end fabled loot is total crap like last time, as you'd expect.

I find the scavenger hunt hilarious. Waste a lot of time (that could be used to get XP) to get a potion that gives you double XP for a few hours. Lol.

Any word if the scavenger hunt is only doable once ala Aid Grimmel earring turn in?

No you can do it without doing Gimmel.

Great way to not understand what I said.

Based on what I've seen elsewhere, it's only doable once. After completing the quest, the questgiver tells you you've already done it if you try to get it again.

Confirmed, you can only do it once per character.

Btw, scavenger hunt is SO not a waste of time.

The whole thing took me about 2 hours tops. Yay for tracking!

I had /lfg up the entire time and didn't get a single invite...so i'd say the xp I lost from doing the scavenger hunt will be far more than made up by the fact that the next 10 times I get into a good xp group I can double my returns for a half hour or more.

Plus it was just fun to do. :)
