It’s EverQuest’s 26th anniversary, and the celebration is on with new content, bonuses, gifts, and another chance to get Year of Darkpaw items.
For the anniversary, everyone gets a 50% bonus to XP gain and a Blade of Jade Ornament you can claim on each character. This special item can be converted to a Shield of Staff of Jade Ornament to fit any character. If you are an All Access member, you also get the Jade Prowler Cub Metamorph, claimable once per character and two one-time account gifts, a level 100 Heroic character, and a Goblet of Adventure II. The XP bonus ends on April 1st but the other gifts can be claimed until April 20th.
Enjoy a little mystery with six new quests that will be available through May 10th. Assist Firiona Vie in the search for the Jade Tiger, a relic that she believes may hold the answers to reveal a mysterious threat on the horizon. Also, the Shadeweaver Jade Gallery owner invites you to browse wares and join in celebrations. This invitation reveals a new organization, the Doke Collective and perhaps a little more intrigue.
If you missed out on any of the previous anniversaries, all of the quests and missions from prior years are coming back. The Inner Turmoil event raid is back, along with plenty of content for characters over level 100. For those at lower levels, there’s also lots to do. All over, you can find scenic spots to eat some Platinum Anniversary Cake and explore.
The Anniversary Tower returns from last year too, with a series of floors to climb and challenges to win as you test yourself to see how well you can do. Through May 10th, Year of Darkpaw items and monthly giveaway items are back in the Marketplace.
