With so much information being posted in the EQII Official Forums at all times as well as the steadily approaching holiday season, it can be very hard to keep up with it all, and very easy to miss some real gems and opportunities to share. Have no fear though; the Treasure Chest is here to highlight interesting, unusual, and humorous posts, as well as opportunities to help your fellow player with a question or two!
Treasure of Knowledge!
If you are new to Norrath as well as one of those adventurers that lives on the edge, those that choose not only to pit themselves against Norrath but their fellow adventurers in Player versus Player combat, there's a library of information you should know! Thankfully, Kust has given us such information in this week's post "PvP Newbie Guide by Kust (In Depth)"! Before you step foot in those contested lands, read up so you know what's in store!
The emergence of Kunark from the ocean mists and the wondrous items found therein has once again tipped the balance of power for adventurers, making some far more powerful! Which class is now a force to be reckoned with, now having an upper hand on dishing out damage and death to those they choose? Csh0 has asked this week "What is the best overall DPS class (non situation in raids only) post kunark"?
Forumite Kust was indeed a busy one this week, not only giving us one absolutely outstanding thread, but TWO! In Player versus Player combat, having the best items and armor will certainly give you an edge, but having the skills to deal death to your fellow adventurers can indeed balance that scale. In "PvP - Vets vs Noobs", Kust wants to know your opinion in regards to such matters!
What brings you to the lands of Norrath? What do you savor to the point that you must return to then get another serving? DKMISFIT has asked us this week this very question, "Why do you play Everquest 2?". Are you here for the camaraderie of your fellow adventurers? Are you here to seek your name to be made legend and on the lips of all Norrathians until the end of time? Why do you play?
Lore Galore!
Sarnaks, the recently found race on Kunark, are indeed an enigma. Why are they here? What is their history? Indeed, the race itself strives to know this very information, and there has been books found that help in explaining that past! Xalmat has posted such information for all to read, in their post "The Unclaimed Eye - A Gorowyn Sarnak Creation Story".
Skyfire Mountains is an inhospitable locale, rife with thousands of ways to permanently end an adventurer's travels. There's puzzles to be found there too, such as the local temples. Just what is the story behind the Temple of the Red Lord and the Temple of the White Lady? Might you have found anything of note, to explain what those may be for?
As written in past lore, many of the races we now know have stemmed from locations in the "old world" of Tunaria, the known continental heart of Norrath. We know what happened to the Elves and Erudites, with their exodus to Faedwyr and Odus... What of the Dwarves and their past home of Moradhim? Misery has posed this question this week, might you know anything of that history?
Did we happen to miss anything of note over this past week of informational or entertaining note? Did you simply want to chat about this recent Treasure Chest? You can do so here in the EQII Official Forums!
