The Shadow of Legend Mining Field

Crafting gear is already hard enough as it is. First, you have to obtain the tools to collect material. Second, you have to collect the materials to make the gear. Third, you have to find the appropriate NPC to compound your material. Crafting gear is a long and tedious process, and it is especially worse for high level players! Fortunately, we’re adding something that should make the process of crafting gear fun and worthwhile: the Mining Field.

Introduction:
The Mining Field is an area full of dangerous monsters and abundant in materials. Some examples of the materials you can find there are: gold, fossils, Arenturine, Imbuia, Camphor and Steel Trees. You can obtain cloth and leather by killing the roaming beasts.

Rules:

1. Find the Mining Field Teleport Officer NPC (428, 1586) in the Ancient Relic Harbor.

2. Speak to the NPC to be transported to the Mining Field.

NOTE: Be warned. The monsters roaming the Mining Field are exceptionally strong, and it is recommended that you don’t risk visiting until you reach level 50 or above.

Good luck with collecting your materials!

GROUNDBREAKING VIDEO GAME FRANCHISE EVERQUEST CELEBRATES FANS WITH LIVING LEGACY PROMOTION

SAN DIEGO, CA – June 2, 2008 – The EverQuest ® franchise, the groundbreaking, award-winning fantasy series that redefined massively multiplayer online (MMO) video games for a generation of gamers around the globe, is bringing a near decade of success back to millions of fans with a new Living Legacy program from Sony Online Entertainment LLC, which will feature in-game events, promotions, game updates and more.

While the Living Legacy program is aimed at former EQ and EQII players, the program also offers a perfect way for new players to experience the world of Norrath. Nostalgic NPCs and group PvE encounters, as well as brand new raid content, will commemorate EQ’s hardcore heritage. The program features bonus XP weekends, several live events, new content updates and the introduction of new zones all taking place in EQII. Returning EQII players will also be able to experience Rise of Kunark, EQII’s fourth expansion, which just became the game’s best-selling expansion of all time.

  • Current EQII players who recruit a friend to play the game who converts to a valid subscription will receive free gameplay-time added upon conclusion of their then-current subscription .

In the spirit of honoring the players, the Living Legacy program is supported by an online and print advertising campaign that features real EQ and EQII players.
