July 2026 Everquest Patch Notes

Hello and welcome to a game update notes for July 15th, 2026 for EverQuest. So, we we went over to the test server once and then this is the alive. This is what went out in the patch. Uh, I believe today is Wednesday. It went out today. Uh, so highlights made changes to multiple Heroes’ Journey quests to make them more group friendly. See the quest section for more details. Items, merciful shield found on the cleric breastplates in Shard of Rhowl should now trigger the correct version of merciful merciful shield, recurrent merciful shield. Now, I’m not going to read all these. Uh, like we we did this in the test one, but uh, for the most part it would appear that most of the quests in the Heroes’ Journey um, are uh, completely worked out. So, >> [laughter] >> they’re uh, group friendly now. So, I’m not going to read all these, but it it does seem to be the case. Uh, and uh, one thing I So, I started doing digging into this, right? Like I was, you know, curious about this. Like they mentioned the Heroes’ Journey quests right here. Uh, but the Heroes’ Journey did not start until later in the game. Now, uh, I believe it was Seeds of Destruction or Underfoot is when they like uh, added achievements and then added these. So, I’m not sure if these achievements will be live when Luclin drops or not. These quests will be doable because they’re a part of the uh, you know, there’s there’s quests that you can do a part of this expansion, but the the achievement line that, you know, it’s created is I’m not there. So, I’m not 100% sure what is then going to happen there. There’s a Luclin um, updated FAQ. We’re going to do that video next. Uh, and I haven’t read it yet, so that’ll be interesting to see, but these are, you know, these are changes that are going to make it easier to play on Luclin Far. Let’s just say that. Spell uh Bard, so the Alliance spell should now work with any insult or disdain. So, that is nice. That is uh I believe that is the 105 version. Or whatever whatever Empire is a Kunark version that is. Maybe 101. Uh enchanted uh enchanter and then magician both of their dichotomous spell lines, right? All the progressive spells have been updated so that they’re uh stronger. The last few patches have been updating these for almost every single class. So, very nice there. See here, fixed an issue that caused loot to be inaccessible from Tunare in the Avatar of War when completing their respective events across multiple instances. All right. Progression servers uh made a fix for the Terror of Luclin raids access message that says error instead of mentioning the event name. And moved uh Haxxis the Shade and Alex the Flesh Grinder and Aric the Prophet to uh Engromus to different randomized loot buckets. All right. Miscellaneous, made a speculative fix to an issue where raids on high population servers with the same sometimes get into a bug state and disband. Race changing in a pick zone will no longer sometimes set the wrong city. UI, fixed a crash in the UI radio buttons when looting uh when loot is rolling in the advanced window. And previously fixed crash on the advanced loot window. All right. So, uh overall, it’s a patch. >> [laughter] >> It’s a lot of quest fixes. Like that’s a a of a lot of stuff uh there so hopefully it makes Lothar a little bit easier and smoother to play for groups. Uh but that is the the game update notes for July 15th, 2026. Uh thank you very much for watching and please have a fantastic day.
