- Feedback on density and placement are welcome.
*Tradeskills are a work in progress, so stay engaged for future updates. 1The Caves:
Drossdozer and the Taskmasters:
Due to multiple and often conflicting sources from the time period, we've made the following changes to the Drossdozer spawn. As differing reports place him in either the lowest cave or in the mid-level mine by the ramp upward, we've decided to place him in both. Both camps will be patrolled by the appropriate taskmaster, either Dustpaw or Mudpaw. There are now placeholder spawns at each location with Drossdozer having a 10% chance to spawn at either in order to remain comparable to the standard 20% spawn chance that other named spawns often have.
As usual, these kinds of compromises are far from perfect and we welcome any further input, information, or memories from the community in order to recreate a more accurate representation of this classic content. 1The Caves:
The Atramentor ring event is now live. Atramentor is a level 13^^ stone golem that spawns as part of a ring event in the far back section of the zone. He has a 20% chance to spawn after the Rockpaw stonemaster and the nearby alabaster behemoths have been slain. The event should reset 15 minutes after Atramentor either fails to spawn, or dies. Atramentor has been itemized and is ready for testing. 1The Caves:
Alabaster golems and behemoths are no longer aggro.
Drossdozer still hates your guts and wants you to die though. 1Ecology:
- Freeport and Qeynos guards will now start shouting at players they want to 'purge'. e.g. "Death to the enemies of Lucan!"
- All golems and gnolls in The Caves(826) have regained their native languages and voiceovers. 1The Forest Ruins (Classic):

Shrillers, juvenile shrillers, and rabid shrillers should no longer hug the ground while in flight. They now have the correct hitpoints, power, and difficulties.The Down Below:
Dev Notes:
Due to the existing state of the current version of Down Below, it was proving excessively difficult to get the zone up to the quality standards we've attempted to establish with our newer classic zones. The zone had been up and running for quite some time and passed through several different hands over the years, notably my own when I first began working on the EMU. This was the first zone I had any sort of hand in, and I made a horrendously bigger mess out of what was already messy.
So, I was left with two choices- Continue to try and clean up existing spawns or start with a clean slate in a fresh copy of the zone. I chose the latter. The version of The Down Below as a zone ID of 834 and will be hooked up to existing zone transports when it's closer to completion.
Update Notes:
The following NPCs have received hitpoints, power, and movement:
a juvenile shriller
a crypt substance

There will be a noticeable progression in the pet's hitpoints, power, and DPS as the spell is upgraded. Spell lists for the pets themselves are still a work in progress, as is aggro management.Qeynos Classic Quests: All Classic Qeynos Quests have received a reward review. Their coin values are all uniform to their original levels.
- This pass will make it easier to modify values in the future if they need a uniform increase via a server operator.
- This also accurately simulates the coin influx as players quest around the city. Copper has value here.
- Inner-City quests tend to offer greater rewards, enticing players into the city via the Citizenship questlines.EMU News - In-Game:

Many tradeskill updates, the following issues should be resolved
- Counter successes/fails don't seem to have any effect on durability/progress more than a regular tick.
- Every recipe has the description "The art of sculpting metal into a candelabra." in the mouseover tooltip.
- Materials and fuels stored in bank are counted for use in recipes.
- Recipes with a primary component that is not owned in inventory (or bank) show as "Primary Component: [0]" in the recipe tooltip when hovering the recipe icon in the recipe window, instead of red-colored text "Primary Component: Bronze Cluster [0]". This is only with primary components. Build components and fuel components don't have this same behavior.
- Recipes can be crafted from recipe window, without having a crafting station selected or even being near one.
- T1 rawhide leather pelts harvested from dens are not the same pelts needed for any recipe that requires rawhide leather pelts:
Alder, Bronze, Sackcloth, Tranquil Sackcloth, Waxed Leather, Woven Waxed, Elm, Rawhide Leather, Woven Rawhide, Threadbare, Tranquil Threadbare, Tin (probably more)
- examine recipe windows fixed, including showing total amounts of components in your inventory and previously created stage now displays as intended
- when in the craft recipe screen (prior to pressing begin) you may now select components to craft with, all available will be listed that can be usedEcology:

Content Update: Blackburrow and Itemization
I'm temporarily suspending my development work on Blackburrow in order to work on itemization issues.
The first issue is updating items for classic resists compatible with both DoF and AoM clients. Classic resists are working on the server back end, but items have been set up for the more modern 3 resist system. I'll be updating the resists on items to comply with classic, while adding additional strings to item stats which will allow classic resists to display as blue stats in the AoM client.
The second issue is with weapon damage scaling. As many know, weapon damage originally scaled as the player leveled. This creates varying conflicting data as to what a weapon's proper damage ratio should actually be. I'll be devoting some time to attempt to sort this mess out, ideally figuring out minimum and maximum values for as many weapons as possible, and determining a formula to sort out the rest as closely as possible.
I'll keep everyone posted on how this progresses.Week of 5/14 - 5/21 Content Update Dump:

Itemization Update:
All classic Tier 1 items have been set up for classic resists where applicable. In cases where the resist is considered invalid by the AoM client, the relevant resist will appear as a blue stat.
All classic Tier 1 weapons have had their damage updated for mastery scaling. Currently all weapons should be set to their maximum damage values.
All classic Tier 1 weapons have had their delays updated to their December 2004 values. Previously all classic era weapons were set to their beta damage/delay values.

Zone Update: Isle of Refuge
Spellbooks will no longer drop off of NPCs below level 3 as there are no classic spells or abilities lower than 3rd level.
NPCs level 3 and up have had a slight boost to their damage output.
Goblins and deer will drop their unique items slightly less frequently.
Itemization:
Blackburrow: Implemented zonewide loot tables for common armors, weapons, and jewelry.
Blackburrow: Implemented zonewide loot tables for rare(quality tier 5/treasured) armors, weapons, and jewelry.
Zonewide Loot Tables (Trash Loot):
Revamped zonewide itemization for existing T1 adventuring zones, excluding Isle of Refuge which is it's own itemization scheme.
Previously each of the five Qeynos adventuring zones had an individual zonewide(trash loot) loot table containing roughly 20 items in an assortment of armor, weapons, and jewelry of varying quality tiers. Each table was unique, but there was roughly a 75% overlap in items.
These have been replaced by a new system consisting of six separate loot tables shared between all zones. These tables are set up according to item type and rarity with three common tables and three rare tables divided into armor, jewelry, and weapon categories, totaling around 100 individual items overall. As these tables are universal they can also be applied to future Tier 1 zones, i.e. Freeport, reducing the overall development time of new zones going forward.
These do not effect the unique loot tables assigned to named NPCs or specific quest NPCs.
Blackburrow uses a similar system for it's zonewide loot tables, which can then be applied to future Tier 2 dungeons and instances, such as Wailing Caves and Firemyst Gully.

DoF Client:
Isle of Refuge: The Shady Swashbuckler (EMU buffer) and Bell to leave the island should work for players using the DoF Client.
Antonica: Quest Added 'Ignatia Cellus' History of Antonica (5844)' Week of 6/4 - 6/11 Content Update Dump:
*Larger projects not ready to be published are in the works. Here are some completion notes*
LordPazuzu —
Itemization:
-Antonica has been moved over to the six-table zonewide loot system.
-Scout classes have been removed from T2 merchant-bought chain armors, as they do not yet possess this skill.
-The shared loot table for T2 named has been greatly expanded. This only affects items all T2 named have in common and does not have any impact on each named NPCs unique loot as these are separate tables.
-Loot tables for classic crafting tomes have been temporarily disabled until crafting is in a better state. Due to underlying issues crafting tomes are not displayed in the DoF inventory UI, leaving an apparently empty slot where the book technically exists.

The second, larger vagrant squatter area has been populated.

In case you missed it - The two independent EQ2EMU test servers (eq2emu.net and Zeklabs) are in the merging (eq2emu.com).
This process will streamline the development process and create a single location for testers. Content updates will jumpstart again once the dust has settled. (This merger also applies to consolidating Discord channels as well. EQ2EMU & EQ2PVP: https://discord.gg/6Wpnnf9sDt )Character Creation: (Desert of Flames)
- The following is a workaround to ensure players are where they should be after creation.
Selecting to 'Skip Tutorial' during character creation in the DoF client bypasses the Far Journey. Players who do this will be dumped either on Outpost of the Overlord or Queen's Colony. Entering either of those zones as Commoners (Class 0) and under level 3 will be immediately teleported to the Classic Isle of Refuge.
This is to ensure players can progress to the right class without having to use /zone.
*A permanent fix is on the 'to do' list.Character Creation: (Desert of Flames) Cont.
- Selecting 'Skip Tutorial' at character creation now sends players to the correct Isle of Refuge without needing to be zoned from elsewhere. (Thanks Emagi!)

An additional note about both captains and the way classic classified Epic x2-
Classic would often categorize large heroic encounters as Epic x2 due to the number and difficulty of the NPCs making up the encounter. There wasn't necessarily anything special or extra difficult about the individual NPCs in the encounter. As such, both of the orc captain encounters are classified as Epic x2 by classic standards due to the number and difficulty of the adds attached to the encounter, not due to either captain being of above average difficulty for a named NPC of their level. Neither of these encounters should require an actual raid party to engage, though as they are both required for the Greater Lightstone heritage quest, being able to bring extra players along to get the update is always a plus.

Ladon's health regeneration can be reduced by debuffing stamina. His power regeneration, as well as his melee damage, can be reduced by debuffing strength.
A drakota adept's health regeneration can be reduced by debuffing stamina. His power regeneration and heal amounts can be reduced by debuffing wisdom.
A drakota adjutant's health regeneration can be reduced by debuffing stamina. His power regeneration, as well as his melee damage, can be reduced by debuffing strength.
Tactics: As a healer, the adept will heal itself as well as Ladon. Between self heals and innate health regeneration, you probably shouldn't rely on AOEs to take the adept out while attempting to straight burn Ladon.
All three drakotas use Fiery Breath and it will stack and it has a target cap of 24 players. Adjust your raid position and cure detrimentals accordingly. 1 1 1Zone Update: Commonlands

Sprint should be operating both in and out of combat now and should no longer result in infinite stacking speed buffs. Sprint should also be exacting its power maintenance cost.

Zone Update: Racial Hoods
Updated zone scripts for all hoods to update your bind location to the docks if you zone in with no bind point and you match the race of the hood. (edited) 4 1 Zone Update: Overland Named
Named NPCs in overland zones have had their stat progression standardized while retaining personalized spell lists and unique abilities. This allows for making difficulty adjustments across the board for the purposes of testing game balance. (edited)Itemization Update: Tier 3 Global Loot
Updated 210 pieces of equipment for classic T3 global loot tables.Spell Update: Mages

a grassland beetle
a steppe beetle
a small shore crab
a plains snake
a beach clamper

an unearthed villager (edited) 2NPC Update: Thundering Steppes
The following NPCs have been updated for classic:
a drowned footsoldier
a drowned trooper
a drowned lieutenant
a skeletal protector
a flesh scavenger (edited) 5NPC Update: Thundering Steppes
The following NPCs have been updated for classic:
a swarm beetle
Dev Note: Getting these little shits to actually swarm was special.NPC Update: Thundering Steppes
The following NPCs have been updated for classic:
a Steelhoof invader
Steelhoof invader camps now spawn along the road between Tower 2 and Thundermist Village
Dev Note: Significant improvements to how spawn camps are actually spawned and controlled have been implemented beginning with Thundering Steppes. This should allow for dynamic spawn camps and ring events to be created more quickly, perform more reliably, and most importantly they can now spawn and track the status of linked encounters, allowing for far more spawn variation and making dynamic spawn camps more... dynamic. These script upgrades have been in the works for awhile now and I'm pretty excited about implementing more varied dynamic and heroic content going forward. These upgrades will be applied backwards to Antonica and Commonlands as time permits.
~LordPazuzu (edited) 1Itemization Update: Thundering Steppes
The following named NPCs have had their classic loot tables implemented:
Resheza
Sezule
Vaeshix
an Ancient Shoal Fish
Claw
Bruuhk Firerock
Bloodtalon
The Bloodless Commander
Incaulebis the Maleficent
an Undead Overseer
a Rotting Pioneer 1Dev Notes: Thundering Steppes Zone Ecology
Animal behavior in Thundering Steppes is more complex than in either Antonica or Commonlands. Animal NPCs often move in packs, herds, or swarms and move with more deliberate intention and engage in more realistic animal behaviors. A large majority of my time is being spent working out the scripting for these behaviors. All zones exhibit some degree of specialized behavior from NPCs, but TS seems to have these sorts of things on a near zonewide implementation rather than a few specific cases. The benefit to all of this is that once this zone is done, dynamic content should be easier to bring to other zones, much more quickly, and much more reliably than we've managed in the past. Wish me luck.
~LordPazuzu 2NPC Update: Thundering Steppes

Just a clarification on what I mean when I say a named has been itemized versus *fully* itemized. An itemized named has its unique item table tied to it with the items updated with classic stats. A fully itemized named has its unique loot table, a bonus loot table, adept and master tables, and a rare harvest table. Nothing in T3 is going to be fully itemized until level 20-29 classes are implemented and classic harvests are updated. That's why named in Antonica and Commonlands are going to seem like hitting a loot pinata compared to Thundering Steppes named. (edited) 1NPC Update: Thundering Steppes
