Empires of Kunark beta has begunFollow

If you haven't already seen the news on the Everquest forums, the beta began today for Everquest's 23rd expansion, Empires of Kunark.

Some great art work so far that I have seen. I can't wait to dive into the content.

How do I get into the beta? I believe if you pre-ordered The Broken Mirror you should have access. If not, buying the pre-order for Empires of Kunark will give you access.

Anyways, there are some pretty cool things that come along with the beta if you pre-order. Head on over to the Daybreak website here to see what is in store for each pre-order package.


I've been pretty busy getting things taken care of here on the site for the new expansion so our admins and everyone else can start packing on the content.

The wiki pages have been created from a template taken from TBM wiki pages so they will need to be heavily edited. You can find the wiki pages here. If you would like to participate in collecting information, feel free in editing the wiki pages.

All base zones within Empires of Kunark have been created and are waiting for more information.

The zones are,
Lceanium
Scorched Woods
Chardok (EoK version)
Frontier Mountains (EoK version)
Temple of Droga (EoK version)
Gates of Kor-Sha
Kor-Sha Laboratory

We'll need NPC names. What con the NPC is to you or just give us the level of it. A screenshot of said NPC. Is it a quest NPC? Is it a monster? Is it a raid encounter? Is it undead?

Dialog of quest npc's and quest names and all that good info.

Oh also we're excited that our item collector is actively being worked on. We look forward to using it during the beta.

We are looking for more volunteer admins to help with getting information on the beta and for the rest of the expansion. If you are interested and are currently playing on beta, please PM me or reply here.

Just did Scorched HA (using Chardok map) called Others' Things. Here is the quest and info:

Task steps (these vary depending on which one you randomly get)
Certainly the sarnak wear some sort of jewelry,right? See if you can find some.
