Daybreak has a note out to classic EverQuest players this week tempering their expectations for the August patch. “As we get closer to the end of the year, most of the team’s efforts are focused on working on EverQuest’s 23rd expansion,” the studio writes. “In preparation for the expansion, our August update focuses on AA consolidation and tuning systems.”
That update lands August 18th and is expected to include a broad alternative advancement ability consolidation pass, rune stacking improvements, combat balancing and riposte tweaks, and quest flagging for “many” classic items. There are close to 200 AA abilities on the list, mainly duplicate passives and “passive ability lines whose sole purpose is to augment an activated ability.”
Living legacy raids have returned as of this week as well; Marathon and Sprint are active until the patch hits later this August.
