Game Jawn and Daybreak have shipped a content patch to EverQuest Legends, arriving on Tuesday, August 18, a few weeks after the EverQuest spinoff launched. The update focuses largely on the classic Mistmoore Castle zone, MassivelyOP reported.
Mistmoore Castle has received a major upgrade. In addition to named NPCs being guaranteed spawns, they now all have a guaranteed loot drop of a common or rare item with stat bonuses. While some of these items are familiar to explorers of the castle in years past, many are brand new. Some include exciting new effects ready for you to enjoy as they are or turn into exaltations.
All named enemies in the zone have also been designated as rare creatures, vastly increasing their chances of dropping motes of potential. The residents of the main castle are now somewhat less aggressive and no longer react to a player's presence from extreme ranges — during the daytime. At night, once the castle denizens have shown their true forms, exploring remains, in the studio's words, a harrowing affair.
Grouping, UI and a boar
Beyond Mistmoore, the patch fixes grouping experience so that grouped players receive the small XP bonus they were meant to, and adds UI scaling options previewed on the game's Discord: scaling in increments of 0.25 and the long-requested ability to make the in-game mouse cursor larger. Beastlord Warders have been buffed, old-school weapon animations have returned, weather effects have been changed, and a batch of smaller fixes rounds out the notes.
Among them is one aimed at the game's most notorious zone.
Creatures in the Plane of Fear and beyond should no longer fear or charm you so hard that you're unable to approach the game again for 24 hours.
The cash shop gets a Bristly Boar mount alongside the patch. Unique to EverQuest Legends, it moves at roughly the same speed as the Spirit of the Wolf buff.
