EverQuest II streamlines its item examine window in GU106, Seeds of Vengeance

If you’ve ever taken a look at an item tooltip in EverQuest II and had the distinct impression that you were being prepared for a calculus exam, it might not have been just your lack of comprehension. Daybreak agrees that the item examine screen has grown too “cluttered,” and as such, the studio will be streamlining it for this month’s content update.

Some of the big changes that players will notice is a column format to group related stats together, a separate area for item effect descriptions, and more.

This revamp is coming on May 24th with GU106 and is only the tip of the iceberg for the patch’s offerings: “This game update is packed full of new content, including a return to the Shard of Hate where solo players, groups, and raiders will all be confronted with new bosses, puzzles, and locations within the plane that have never been seen before! There will also be new expert dungeons, a revamped item examine window, new missions, and more!”
