- Fixed a bug that caused the particles on the Battle Cat Mounts to not display.
- Vergalid Slave Manacles now stack up to 20. They now can not be worn.


*** Quests & Events ***

- Raid 6 in Discord Tower now has a more appropriate name.
- Fixed a mysterious issue with the Dorina's Potion quest.
- Look to the marketplace this October for the Big Cat in a Bag. Each one contains a random adoptable big cat familiar. Trade them to your friends or collect them all yourself, and keep an eye out for some rare and unique feline familiars!
- Berserker Epic 1.5 Quest - You will no longer to be in a raid to get credit for testing all the axes against An Ancient Sebilite Protector in Sebilis. You do still have to kill the Ancient Sebilite Protector to get credit and you still have to kill his buddies first.


*** Spells ***

- Fixed a bug that would cause buffs that increase your movement rate to slow the run-speed of players with high amounts of run-speed AA ability effects.
- Spells and abilities that trigger effects when you block will now function with Staff Block and Shield Block.
- Fixed an issue where a number of spells and abilities that return health, mana, or endurance based on the amount of damage done were not properly capped.
- Corrected an issue that prevented bard songs from costing endurance.
- Bard - Raised the endurance cost of Dichotomic Psalm, increased the amount of damage it adds to spells and melee strikes, increased the amount it heals, and lowered the amount of mana and endurance that is restored.
- Enchanter - Increased the mana cost and spell damage added by Dichotomic Reinforcement. Lowered the amount of mana returned to the group when it is cast.
- Paladin - Changed Holy Guardian Effect so that it can now properly cast Holy Guardian Heal on successful shield blocks and ripostes in addition to bash attempts. Added a proc limit of 120 to the effect so that it is no longer as effective against large numbers of targets.
- Shadowknight - Changed Unholy Guardian Effect so that it can now properly cast Unholy Guardian Lifetap on successful shield blocks and ripostes in addition to bash attempts. Added a proc limit of 120 to the effect so that it is no longer as effective against large numbers of targets.


*** NPCs ***

- Test Server only - In the Plane of Sky, Noble Dojorn, a thunder spirit princess, Gorgalosk, and the Eye of Veeshan will again spawn correctly.


*** Tradeskills ***

- The Aloe Tip will now show up on merchants even if the "Show only items I can use" box is checked.


*** AA ***

- AA abilities that allow your melee attacks to trigger spells will no longer report spell casting failures if either you or your target does not meet the requirements for the spell.
- - Ex: Strike of Ire as triggered from the warrior ability Infused by Rage 21 will no longer periodically display 'Your spell is interrupted.'
- Berserker - 'Furious Rampage' will no longer reduce the damage of the 1-4 hits triggered by the 'Rampage' activated ability.


*** Progression Servers ***

- The Mount Key Ring will now be accessible on progression servers before The Darkened Sea, if you have purchased The Darkened Sea, The Broken Mirror, or the newly added Marketplace Mount Key Ring Feature Unlock.
- Scribe Zikett will begin selling his wares in the Plane of Knowledge once Call of the Forsaken has unlocked on the server.


*** Collections ***

- Moved one of the collection locations in Exalted Life and Exalted Decay to prevent them from appearing out of reach.


*** Miscellaneous ***

- Added an option to the display tab of the options window that allows you to see pre-Luclin PC characters on mounts. The ability to summon and ride mounts is no longer disabled on pre-Luclin PC character models.
- Non-melee damage dealt by player pets will now display to all players around the victim, rather than just the pet's owner.
- Fixed an issue where fellowship vitality would drop to 0 when you logged out if you had a high raw vitality number stored on the character.
- Fixed a client crash with shrouds when opening a merchant with spell scrolls.
- Addressed an issue where LDoN leaderboards would show the same person multiple times in the list.


*** UI ***

- Added a third pane to the claim window that contains additional information about a claim (if there is any).
- Fixed a tab title typo in the credits section on the login server.
- Disabled the Welcome Screen and removed the ability to open it.
- Added the ability to opt in or out of Guild Trophy Tribute when not currently in a guild hall.
- Modified the Actions Window so it can support nested controls in custom UIs. The controls were originally only working on the top level tabs in the Actions window.

EQUI_OptionsWindow.xml


- The EverQuest Team

Always when you scan through these monthly patch notes there is normally something in them that stands out. I think this one takes the cake this month, or maybe the catnip.

- Look to the marketplace this October for the Big Cat in a Bag. Each one contains a random adoptable big cat familiar. Trade them to your friends or collect them all yourself, and keep an eye out for some rare and unique feline familiars!

It's the Cat in the bag! The Cat in the Bag Knows a Lot About That! Maybe they saw how well Pokemon did, and said, lets stick cats in a bag! Gotta bag them all!
