Anniversary events tend to run from mid-March to mid-April (sometimes to mid-May) each year. They are not available during the "off season".
For an overview and list of EverQuest Anniversary events, see this quest entry. This is a solo task introduced with EverQuest's 13th anniversary. It's expected to only be available during anniversary season (mid-March through mid-April). It begins with Sam Napth, a Halfling in the Plane of Knowledge at about -215, -90, -155 (next to the Soulbinder). You say, 'Hail, Sam Napth' Sam Napth says 'I've been expecting you. I have great need of adventurers to help me deal with an important issue. There are a lot of tasks that need doing, I'd be grateful if you could help me out. You see, I've been trying to prove to some important people that such things are foolishness. So I've arranged some tests to prove it.' A task window pops up offering several anniversary tasks. You have been assigned the task 'Lucky 13'. Sam Napth asked you to give 'invitations' to a wide range of superstitious people to a dinner party (though he seems to have forgotten to give them to you, ask him for them). There will be 13 guests, including yourself, and 13 courses. Sam hopes to show these people that their superstitions are wrong and that the number 13 is not unlucky at all. Sam seemed certain tha the contents of the invitations would be enough to convince these superstitious folks to show up to the meal despite any misgivings. He also mentioned that Hasten, who is rather hard to pin down, has a mailbox set up someplace in the Mountains of Rathe, you can leave the invitation for him there. Get to the dinner. Sam can send you there using magic. Deliver 1 Dinner Invitation to Romella 0/1 (North Karana) Located at the gypsy camp a little ways north of the central guard tower. Romella says 'Well, hello there. An invitation? Thank you.' She opens the letter and even from a few feet away you smell jasmine from the envelop. 'Interesting. Tell your employer that I will attend.' Deliver 1 Dinner Invitation to Farwhendle Higglespout 0/1 (Barren Coast) Located at around -240, -150 (west of Dockmaster Weatherby -- the second dock down from the north). Farwhendle Higglespout says 'For me? Well, what have we here? I am not familiar with the host of this little party, but if even half of these items actually appear on the menu... Of course I'll be there. How could I resist?' Deliver 1 Dinner Invitation to Captain Pete 0/1 (The Buried Sea) Located at about -1600, 3355 (southeastern portion of Jardel's Hook -- the west-central island). Captain Pete says 'Yar! What 'er ya want? What's this paper? I don't need no paper. Dinner? Aye, I likes good food and drink. If'n yer wants to give me food, I'll eat it. But if there be any tricks, I'll cut you up good!' Deliver 1 Dinner Invitation to Galdorin Visigothe 0/1 (Abysmal Sea) Galdorin is NOT on the Find function, but is in the baking/brewing area. If you can use "find" a baking/brewing vendor, he should be nearby. Galdorin Visigothe says 'A party! Well certainly I'll be there. I will bring my lute and entertain if you'd like. Heck, I'd do just about anything to get away from these dullards for a while. No appreciation for a good lyric here.' Deliver 1 Dinner Invitation to Pastseeker Rhondarra 0/1 (Plane of Knowledge) This is a Vah Shir located in the library. Pastseeker Rhondarra says 'Hmm... I do have a lot of research still to do. But if the information in this note is true, I can certainly spare one evening to learn about such things. I shall attend, though I hope you understand that I do not eat vegetables.' Deliver 1 Dinner Invitation to Eggsniffer 0/1 (Brell's Rest) Located at about 75, 610 (northern part of the gnoll camp in the western part of the zone). Eggsniffer says 'Bark! You smell like dirt. You tell me that paper say I can leave here and sing for food? Will there be eggs? I show up if there eggs.' Deliver 1 Dinner Invitation to a tired farmer 0/1 (Misty Thicket) Located very close to the Plane of Knowledge stone. a tired farmer says 'An invitation to a dinner party. Oh, I don't know. It has been a long week, and I still have a lot of thinking to do. I shall see how I feel later in the day. Thank you for bringing the invitation to me. Please let him know that I might not be able to make it.' Deliver 1 Dinner Invitation to Fixxen Followig 0/1 (North Karana) Roams the far northern part of the zone (covers the entire northern part -- from about X-loc 700 northward). Fixxin Followig says 'You should head out. It's not safe here for a courier. Since the moon isn't full, and my compatriots here can deal with anything that comes up, I'll be there. After all, how could I turn down an offer like this? I wouldn't mind being able to make a few plat on the side.' Deliver 1 Dinner Invitation to Glob 0/1 (Nektulos Forest) Located just outside Neriak. Glob says 'Stop pushing paper at Glob. Glob not like paper. Paper taste bad. You tell Glob that he get food if show up at place? And Glob not have to kill food first? Glob be there.' Deliver 1 Dinner Invitation to Khasva Vei`Ras 0/1 (Lesser Faydark) Khasva is found at about -920, 1145, 0 (almost dead-center of the southern boundary of the zone). Khasva Vei`Ras says 'You are a bold fool, aren't you. You've come into our camp to give me this note? Hrm... a dinner party? I suppose that will be more entertaining than staying here and killing foolish Koada`Dal.' Deliver 1 Dinner Invitation to an old froglok 0/1 (Upper Guk) Located at about 1255, 200 (northern part of the zone in a passage just west of the water that runs north-south through the zone). an old froklok says 'Froak! You want me to eat with you? This makes no sense to me/ This letter promises a lot, froak. It seems worth my time to be there.' Deliver 1 Dinner Invitation to Hasten Bootstrutter 0/1 (Mountains of Rathe) The turn-in for Hasten Bootstrutter is a mailbox between the named beetles in the middle pathway. Located at 1497, 173, 3. Clicking on the mailbox delivers it: You slide the invitation into Hasten Bootstrutter's mailbox, wondering how such a thing could possibly be secure here. Go to the dinner. Sam can send you there with magic 0/1 (Plane of Knowledge) You say, 'Hail, Sam Napth' Sam Napth says 'Great, thank you. Enjoy your meal!' Ensure that the dinner goes smoothly 0/1 (Katta Castellum) Task Window Says: Now all you have to do is anticipate any possible disruption that could ruin the dinner and prevent it from happening. You say, 'Hail, Sam Napth' Sam Napth says 'Well, I can send you [off to the dinner] when you are ready and all the [invitations] have been delivered. Hopefully you are very well prepared.' You say, 'I'm ready to go off to the dinner' Sam Napth says 'Enjoy your evening.' LOADING, PLEASE WAIT... You have entered Formal Dining Hall. NOTE: The first emote you have to react to happens 30 seconds after the butler announces Hasten Bootstrutter's arrival. Woth the Butler shouts 'The master would like to thank all of you for accepting his invitation to dinner and for your prompt arrival. He regrets that he could not be here this evening, but assures you that such august company will provide you much greater entertainment than he could ever hope to. Please be seated, we shall begin serving shortly.' The clock chimes 10:00. Woth the Butler shouts 'Our first course will be cheese and fruit, with a light Elven wine. No need to fill yourselves, we have eleven other courses yet to come.' Woth the Butler shouts 'Everyone, please welcome Hasten Bootstrutter. Unfortunately, sir, you have arrived late and the first course is already being served.' Hasten Bootstrutter shouts 'Ah, sorry. I would have been on time, but my boots appear to have lost some of their speed recently.' Eggsniffer says 'Eggsniffer come on time, and Eggsniffer was dead when got invited... Is still dead, really.' Romella says 'I've heard of him. A lot of people talk about how his magic is unstable and unreliable. He makes me nervous.' Woth the Butler shouts 'This is our soup course. Please enjoy the cold tomato soup first, then move on to the cook's favorite anchovy and potato soup.' You see Captain Pete slip something into Farwhendle's Higglespouts mug. You don't think it was a sweetener... NOTE: You must be within close range of Captain Pete to see this emote. When you see it, quickly click on the cup in front of Farwhendle. Woth the Butler shouts 'Now for our salad course. Most of the greens were grown in the master's gardens. Please enjoy.' The clock chimes 10:30. One minute after the "10:30" emote, two of the cooks start arguing: Melsilla says 'You, stop messing with my food. Keep your fingers out of our guests' dinner.' Drin Bitbottom says 'You cow. I didn't touch any of your food. Who would? Might get sick just looking at it.' Melsilla says 'Listen here, turdling. I'm the one here that has studied with the best. You just learned what your mommy taught you. And that wasn't much more than how to dress yourself. And obviously you didn't learn that well at all.' Drin Bitbottom says 'Be careful, some of the insects living inside your skull might drop into the soup.' Make you you are not invis and then say 'Melsilla, stop' after both Melsilla and Drin each say a line, but before they start killing each other You do not have to target Melsilla. You do not need to say "Drin, stop". Melsilla shouts 'Fine! I can't be bothered to beat that little turd to death.' Drin Bitbottom shouts 'If that cow will get her smelly rear away from me, I will stop smashing it.' Woth the Butler shouts 'Now for your pleasure, our fowl course.' Romella shouts 'What sort of social event would this be if we all smelled like garlic.' Galdorin Visigothe shouts 'You must have been told of my allergy to garlic!' Woth the Butler shouts 'Now for our Hor's D'Oeuvres course. A light course to give your digestion a breather.' The clock chimes 11:00. Very soon after the "11:00" emote, three mobs called "a smelly rat" appear. Kill them before they wander into the dining area. Woth the Butler shouts 'Now for our lamb course. This is a chef's specialty.' Woth the Butler shouts 'Now for our beef course.' Shortly after the "beef course" emote, the High Elf staff member ("Risa") wanders into a back room and turns into "Strangled Risa". Attack the "Strangled Risa" and loot her corpse before Kabble Karr takes notice of her. --You have looted a Hacked Up Corpse.-- You have managed to stuff the corpse into your backpack, but that's not going to rid you of it. Find a way to destroy it, and do so fast! Maybe something in the kitchen will work. Woth the Butler shouts 'Now for our exotic drink course.' The clock chimes 11:30. Kabble Karr shouts 'Risa! Get yer comely arse over here and take these plates! Don't make our guests wait. Risa?' Go into the kitchen and click on the oven to dispose of Risa's corpse: You feel nauseous as Risa`s corpse burns into something unrecognizable. You hope the guests won't notice the smell. Soon after, you'll have another fight to break up. This one, at the the dining table: Woth the Butler shouts 'This is our caviar course, exotic caviar from all over Norrath.' Fixxin Followig says 'Romella, how did you like the cold cod eggs?' Romella says 'Well enough.' Fixxin Followig says 'But you haven't touched it. You've hardly eaten a thing.' Romella says 'I am not hungry any longer. There was too much food for me.' Fixxin Followig says 'Hmm... Odd. You haven't touched your silverware at all. How could you be too full?' Romella says 'I don't understand what you are implying.' Fixxin Followig says 'Well, those are genuine silver utensils...' Romella says 'And... What?' Fixxin Followig says 'And I only know one sort of beastie that doesn't like silver. I noticed that tonight will not be a full moon, so you should be safe on that account.' Romella says 'How dare you! Perhaps you should sit down and relax.' You say, 'Sit down and relax' Fixxin Followig looks you up an down. "Fine." Woth the Butler shouts 'Now for first dessert course.' Fixxin Followig says 'Hey, big-nose. You ever play chess?' Eggsniffer says 'Baark! Play lot. Dwarf teach me.' Fixxin Followig says 'Good, let's play. I'm getting bored.' Woth the Butler shouts 'Now for our final course, our exotic dessert course.' The clock chimes 12:00. Fixxin Followig shouts 'You cheater! I've had enough.' Romella shouts 'You are such a rotten person, Fixxin. You trust noone, you treat them all as if they were a irrational as you are!' Farwhendle Higglespout shouts 'How can YOU accuse someone of being irrational? You think that if a toad sneezes my business will fail!' Tired Farmer Jestle sighs. Khasva Vei`Ras smiles. Glob shouts 'Raaarh! Enough talk!' Captain Pete shouts 'Aye, for once the troll knows what he's talkin' about!' From here, the guests start brawling. an old froglok has been slain by Eggsniffer! Farwhendle Higglespout has been slain by Captain Pete! Hasten Bootstrutter has been slain by Captain Pete! It has become clear to you that this venture was doomed from the beginning. You may as well report back. If you can get out alive! Fixxin Followig begins to cast a spell. Romella is surrounded by fluxing strands of chaos. Fixxin Followig begins to cast a spell. Romella adheres to the ground. Glob has been slain by Galdorin Visigothe! You say, 'I'd like to leave!' Woth the Butler says 'We are sorry to see you go.' LOADING, PLEASE WAIT... You have entered The Plane of Knowledge. Tell Sam what happened at the dinner 0/1 (Plane of Knowledge) You say, 'Hail, Sam Napth' Sam seemed disappointed, but ensured you that he did not blame you for the disaster. He blamed the foolish nature of the guests. This completes the task and a reward window pops up (rewards are listed at the bottom of this write-up). Failures NOTE: If you fail in the dinner, you'll be ported back out to the Plane of Knowledge. Speak with Sam Napth in order to try again. (You don't need to repeat all the deliveries.) If you let Farwhendle Higglespout become poisoned: Farwhendle Higglespout shouts 'I feel dizzy. No, I feel like my insides are melting!' He turns to Captain Pete as blood begins to flow from his nose and mouth, 'You! You did this... I'll haunt you, you dirty pirate!' The dinner has become a disaster. You have failed your task. Alternatively: Captain Pete says 'What? Arrr! If anyone's rum has gone missing, then there's no reason to even have this besalted party!' Fixxin Followig says 'Right, I've had enough. The pirate complains, but he's likely taken all the drinks himself.' Glob Glob not like this! Glob done with this! The dinner has become a disaster. You have failed your task. If you let the kitchen staff kill each other: Melsilla shouts 'I've had it with you! Let's see how easy it is to carve you up into bite-sized pieces.' Drin Bitbottom shouts 'I'll make a tasteless stew from your eyeballs, you oversized harlot!' Melsilla shouts 'You smelly-footed jerk, you've killed me!' Melsilla has been slain by Drin Bitbottom! The dinner has become a disaster. You have failed your task. If you let the rats be seen by guests: Alys shouts 'A rat! Eeek!' Pastseeker Rhondarra shouts 'I have never been so insulted!' Galdorin Visigothe shouts 'Eeek! Rats!' Risa shouts 'Filthy things! Aaaaah!' Captain Pete shouts 'Heh, rats. At least now we know the food is edible. Rats won't eat some of the food Cookie makes.' The dinner has become a disaster. You have failed your task. If you let the Stranged Risa be discovered: ? ? ? If you let Romella and Fixxin Followig fight: ? ? ? Chatter While unrelated to the task, the guests have plenty to say... You say, 'Hail, Pastseeker Rhondarra' Pastseeker Rhondarra says 'Hello child. I hope you are enjoying your evening. It is nice for me to get out of the library and enjoy an evening with new people. Though I feel some guilt about leaving my work, even for just one night. And I do have some concerns about the [portents] of this meal.' You say, 'Portents?' Pastseeker Rhondarra says 'I am not speaking of anything specific. I am just concerned with the convergences that our host has brought together so purposefully. This is a night of great potential darkness. Thirteen people, thirteen courses, thirteenth day... there is too much opportunity for dark forces to present.' You say, 'Hail, Farwhendle Higglespout' Farwhendle Higglespout says 'Hello! What a wonderful evening this should be! I'm a big fan of great food, and I expect this to be an evening to remember. I hope to pick up some interesting recipes to take [back] with me.' You say, 'Back to where?' Farwhendle Higglespout says 'Back to the Barren Coast. I have a modest business there. I buy and sell interesting objects to some of my special customers. Come visit me there and we can have tea or something.' You say, 'Hail, Romella' Romella says 'Hello. This should be an interesting evening. I anticipate any number of oddities. I have prepared my [protective] charms, I hope you have done something similar.' You say, 'Protective charms?' Romella says 'This is the evening of misfortune. The thirteenth day is not a good day. And our host has invited thirteen guests. He appears to desire disharmony and risk. Were I not protected, I would not be here, despite the [offer] made to me.' You say, 'What offer?' Romella says 'Ah, not something for you to concern yourself with. That deal was of a personal nature.' You say, 'Hail, Tired Farmer Jestle' Tired Farmer Jestle says 'Oh, hello there. I'm sorry if I'm not in much of a mood for a party. I am trying my very best to enjoy it and put aside my [worries] for a while.' You say, 'What worries?' Tired Farmer Jestle says 'I don't want to bother you with my [problems].' You say, 'What problems?' Tired Farmer Jestle says 'I know that I've had a life full of blessings. Sure, I have no wife and no children, and I have a few dozen nieces, nephew, sisters and in-laws to feed. But I have been blessed with a good head for farming to help me provide for them. And I have recently come to understand a little bit about faith and generosity thanks to a stranger. It's just that every year is such a [struggle].' You say, 'What struggle?' Tired Farmer Jestle says 'In many ways. I have to work very hard to keep my family fed. I have always had doubts about my faith in Karana. Rain is wonderful, but too much or too little can destroy my life and those are the most common states of the weather. I have tried all of the rituals, sacrifices, old wives' [tricks]... anything to appease Karana. Little of it seems to work. And now I sit here feeling guilty about not being at home working.' You say, 'Tricks?' Tired Farmer Jestle says 'Any superstitious trick that anyone suggests, really. I have a horse shoes over my door. I've killed a rabbit and kept its foot. I've searched all over for a clover with four leaves, but never found one. Anything to make my life easier. I'm sorry; you don't want to hear my complaining. Please, enjoy the evening.' You say, 'Hail, an old froglok' an old froglok says 'Frroooaaaaaakkkk! You not frog! I not have any magic left for you. It so cold in stone house! You make fire? You make warm?' You say, 'Hail, Glob' Glob says 'Huh? What you want? Glob invited. Glob going to eat until Glob get sick! You not bother Glob, Glob not like you much. You look like [bad magic].' You say, 'Bad magic?' Glob says 'Don't think Glob stupid, just 'cause Glob not speak common good. Glob know about curses and bad magic. Glob know about number thirteen and know you invite Glob to make bad number. Glob got no fear of bad magic. Glob stronger than any magic. You go sit and eat, leave Glob alone.' You say, 'Hail, Fixxin Followig' Fixxin Followig says 'Well hello there. I am Fixxin Followig of the Fangbreakers! I assume you've heard of the Fangbreakers. We're protectors of the weak and hunters of [evil]. We risk our lives every day to keep citizens safe. Nothin' personal, but if you adventuring types would think about all the dangers that threaten the average man every day instead of running off to faraway lands to fight evil that will never reach us here at home, then maybe you'd be a bit more useful.' You say, 'What evil?' Fixxin Followig says 'Well, we specialize in werewolves, but we deal with all sorts of dangerous enemies. Vampires, ghost and other such hauntings mostly.' Fixxin glances at Khasva then and Romella, 'we're pretty good at recognizing evil when we see it, if you know what I mean. Keep yer weapon handy, you might just prove useful tonight.'' You say, 'Hail, Eggsniffer' Eggsniffer says 'Bark! Can't wait for food! Not get much special food in Brell's Rest.' You say, 'Hail, Khasva Vei`Ras' Khasva Vei`Ras says 'Hello, _____. It is a pleasure to meet you. This is an... interesting event. I wonder how it is that you became involved in this, but it would be rude to pry. I might, however, [guess]. Would this disturb you?' You say, 'Go ahead and guess' Khasva Vei`Ras says 'Good! I like challenges. With the others it is easier. Our host seems to have invited the most volatile group of people possible. Their prejudices and superstitions will obviously come to play on this evening. I do not see you as that sort of person. I do not believe myself to be that sort of person, though I may be a catalyst for some of the others. So [what is it] that you and I have in common?' You say, 'What is it?' Khasva Vei`Ras says 'I am afraid that I must admit failure. I do not know. Perhaps you asked to gather us simply because you are an adventurer and willing to do such things. Perhaps I am here simply to excite superstitious and prejudice in the others. I am unsure, but I feel that there is more to it. I will think on it. We share one thing, and that is that neither of us fits in here. I am willing to share my insights about the others if you are interested.' You say, 'Hail, Galdorin Visigothe' Galdorin Visigothe says 'Ah! Hello there. I am Galdorin Visigothe. You can call me Galdorin. I am a singer of some repute, but I am best known for my [song writing]. I am the entertainer for the heroes on the Queen of Thorns. I'm sure you've heard of it. Maybe you've even heard of me. If not, no matter. You will some day!' You say, 'Song writing?' Galdorin Visigothe says 'I write many songs, but my favorite is probably Norrath - Great and Dear. Let me sing you a few lines...' You say, 'Hail, Captain Pete' Captain Pete says 'Ahoy! How arrr you this evening? Should be entertainin' tonight! There be some fine women here, an some finer booze! With a little [luck] we'll have a row too. Give me a chance to show off some.' You say, 'Luck?' Captain Pete says 'Aye! A good fight is... good! A man needs to break a nose or two to prove he's alive.' You say, 'Hail, Hasten Bootstrutter' Hasten Bootstrutter says 'Hello! Such an interesting evening we have here. Sorry for being late, I hope I didn't [offend] anyone. Hopefully I can remain fully awake for the entire evening. I am rather an early riser, and a dinner that ends at midnight might be a challenge for me.' You say, 'You didn't offend me' Hasten Bootstrutter says 'Oh, I'm not too concerned about offending anyone in particular, but it does seem that there is some tension at the table. If my late arrival increased that [tension], then I must express how sorry I am about that.' You say, 'Tension?' Hasten Bootstrutter says 'I see a few of these fine folks staring daggers at each other. That young gnome, Fixxin, seems to distrust just about everyone. And, well, who knows what will set off a Troll or a dark elf.' And the dinner staff: You say, 'Hail, Woth the Butler' Woth the Butler says 'Welcome to the dinner party. We hope you enjoy your evening. The master would appreciate it if you did not [leave] until all courses have been served.' You say, 'Hail, Risa' Risa says 'Hail and well met.' You say, 'Hail, Selvia' Selvia says 'Hello and welcome. I hope you have a pleasant evening.' You say, 'Hail, Mimdy' Mimdy looks shyly at the ground. 'Hello.' You say, 'Hail, Alys' Alys says 'Hello! I am so pleased to be able to help serve such interesting guests!'
