Patch Day for Everquest 2

[RJO]

Warhammer Online is not the only MMO getting full on game update love today! Everquest 2 is launching its Monument and Might Game Update.

What can EQ2 players expect?

EverQuest® II’s game update, Monument and Might reveals the true appearance of Kurn’s Tower to Norrath; panicking the inhabitants of Kunark and intriguing adventurers to its doors. A new void anchor emanates from the tower, as if a ghastly chord has tied its fate with the invading void. A warlord from a far-off land has turned his conquering eye upon the lands of Kunark and will stop at nothing to find a great power that may lie just within the tower’s walls!

• Let someone else do the work for you! Monument and Might introduces Research Assistants which allow players to train their spells up to higher grades one at a time! They are available around Qeynos and Freeport, Neriak, Haven, Gorowyn, and Kelethin. Check out the research guild hall amenity that allows you to access the research system in the comfort of your own house or guild hall!
• More than 80 new quests in the Rise of Kunark overland zones!
• Player-written books - Leave your permanent mark in Norrath by writing and distributing books! Books look and act just like the current books in the game, and you can hold them in your inventory or place them in your house or guild hall for other players to read. Read Rothgar’s blog about user-written books here!
• All-new Charasis West Wing group quests!

I for one have been dying to see the release of the Research Assistants - such a great idea!

can you explain more on the research assistants??

[RJO]

Research Assistants upgrade your spells for you without the need to buy crafted or epic dropped versions of the spells. There are some spells in the game that have very low drop rates for the Master tier of the spell and most people never end up being able to upgrade these spells. The research assistants will allow you to finally get these hard to find spells.

Obviously the RAs will not uber you out within a short amount of time, in fact an end game master spell takes the Research Assistant just over a month to upgrade for you.

so you pay them for the service then it takes X amount of time to make you the spell then they probably mail it to you?? is this in game time or RL time

They are a house item you buy... they can work one spell at a time ... time is in real life time.
