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 an anniversary quest available only during anniversary season (a few weeks during March and April). It was introduced in 2020 as part of EverQuest's 21th anniversary.

This is a solo task but if grouped will give everyone in the group the solo task.

Plump mobs are level 101-105, and Sledge is level 110.

You say, 'Hail, Maitreya the Maitre D`'

Maitreya the Maitre D` quaffs a flagon of ale, 'We're ruined. RUINED! I had the most delicious meal planned for our guests. They paid a pretty penny for a premium dining experience and now they'll go hungry. After this... the reputation of our exclusive island getaway, and more importantly MY reputation, will be in shambles. What did [those damnable druids] have against us, anyway?'

You say, 'Who are the druids and what did they do?'

Maitreya the Maitre D` sighs, 'The fish and fowl loving druids. You know, the ones that only eat dirt and berries. And let's be frank here. I don't care what they eat. But they care... OH THEY CARE... what we cook and serve. And so they showed up in the middle of the night and set free all the [plump aviaks and sea creatures] that were slated for dinner.'

You say, 'Where are the plump creatures?'

Maitreya the Maitre D` says, 'Beats me. Somewhere in the Timorous Deep. Probably blending in with their brethren, except for being so plump. They were bred and fed for their deliciousness. If you want to [hunt them down], be my guest.'

You say, 'I will hunt them down!'

You have been assigned the task 'Fancy Feast'.

Maitreya the Maitre D` says, 'Great! I'll be here drinking until the problem solves itself or I die, whichever happens first. I can [whisk] you away to the site of the island, if you wish.'

You say, 'Whisk away!'

LOADING, PLEASE WAIT...
You have entered Timorous Deep.




  • 1. Speak to Chef Saroc 0/1 Timorous Deep

    Chef Saroc is surprised to see you, 'Oi! Was going to be a fine meal, twas. Until all the meats ran off, that is. All that effort to fatten them up gone to waste. If ye wanna see what I mean, head east of here and ye can't miss them. The kerrans here are getting frisky, but I'll try to keep them entertained until ye return with the goods.'

    Task Window Says:Head east of the makeshift restaurant on the docks where the kerran dinner party is to take place. Search for all the plump animals that were meant for dinner. Kill them and loot their plump and scrumptious meat!


  • 2. Collect Plump Spiroc meat 0/10 Timorous Deep

    Kill the plump spirocs located on the eastern side of the island, and loot the 10 meats.


  • 3. Collect Plump Streamer meat 0/5 Timorous Deep

    Dive into the water east of the island, kill plump streamers and loot the 5 meats.


  • 4. Collect Plump Shark meat 0/1 Timorous Deep

    Floating among the streamers is a hammerhead shark named Sledge. Kill him. He will drop a certain amount of shark meat (based off who has it already in group?), loot it.


  • 5. Turn in the 10 Plump Spiroc Meat 0/10 Timorous Deep

    Task Window Says: Return the meat to Chef Saroc at his makeshift restaurant on the docks.


  • 6. Turn in the 5 plump streamers Meat 0/5 Timorous Deep

  • 7. Turn in the 1 shark Meat 0/1 Timorous Deep

    You have received a replay timer for 'Fancy Feast': 0d:6h:0m remaining.

    The kerran dinner party will be treated to a Fancy Feast, thanks to you!

    Chef Saroc says, 'Ol Sledge is a chonker, he is. Hah. I hope he wasn't much trouble.'



    Reward(s):
    318 Platinum 7 gold 5 silver
    You gain Experience
    10x Commemorative Coin

    NOTE: To receive the bonus item for this task, you must craft one Fancy Feast - Half Order. This is done by combining 5x Plump Spiroc Meat, 2x Plump Streamer Meat, and 1x Plump Shark Meat. Give the Half Order to Peakay Princess, next to Chef Saroc, to receive the Fancy Feast bonus item.

    You say, 'Hail, Peakay Princess'
    Peakay Princess preens. 'A half order for me, thank you very much. I'm watching my figure.'
    Give Peakay Princess Fancy Feast - Half Order
    Peakay Princess snatches the half portion of Fancy Feast and devours nearly the whole thing in a series of rapid, ravenous bites. 'Om nom nom nom nom... Ahh... What a delight! Here, I'm all done now. You can take these leftovers.'

    I tried to edit my earlier post but not sure if it worked. Anyway, this isn't an instance. This is the actual Timorous Deep. You can run there and camp the mobs for drops and XP.

    Fancy Feast. You are feeding Kerrans. This task is named after a cat food brand.

    BTW folks. This isn't an instance. This actual Timorous Deep. You can run there and camp the hell out of the mobs for drops and xp.

    Here was a few things for me

    level requirement verified at 100

    1. While I had to request it individually, once all my toons, (100+), had the quest. my 98 couldn't get the quest, he needed to be 100
    2. Spirocs respawn quickly and keep dropping their item even after you have all 10 (even if all have 10). So I collected 10 extra so I could do 2 attempts for the bonus item if I failed.
    3. Steamers also respawn, so again I collected enough for 2 attempts for the bonus
    4. Sledge also respawns. First go, he drops 2 pieces, next go he dropped 1. I had to let him respawn several times to collect enough to try 2 times for the bonus
    5. My one toon as at 25 Cooking, so when I gated out, I built up his cooking really fast to 125 and then tried.

    Not a hard quest at all. Just Sledge is the PITA..

    Solo Task but Group can Share Instance

    This is a solo task for both the primary mission and the bonus portion, however if the whole group requests it, they will all go to the same instance and I believe the plump critters will spawn up to once for each player, including Sledge. It took us two spawns to collect enough of the plump meats, the first time Sledge dropped 4 meats, and the second Sledge dropped only one. When we left the water, the spirocs we killed twice had respawned a second time.

    You need to do the bonus reward portion before finishing, you can exit to PoK, use an oven there, then get "whisk"ed back to give it to the Princess. Then you can turn in the other plump meats to the chef. You can use a portable oven if you have one of those tinkered items.

    Requested in 2021 as a group and we all had to request it solo so might want to revise the line "This is a shared task, but can be requested solo."

    I think the minimum level is 95. I changed it in the quest. Let us know if that's not the case.

    My Druid is level 95 and received this reply in bold yellow text:

    [Thu Mar 18 12:03:35 2021] Maitreya the Maitre D` says, 'Beats me. Somewhere in the Timorous Deep. Probably blending in with their brethren, except for being so plump. They were bred and fed for their deliciousness. If you want to [hunt them down], be my guest.'
    [Thu Mar 18 12:03:38 2021] You say, 'I will hunt them down!'
    [Thu Mar 18 12:03:38 2021] You are not at the right level for this task.

    However my level 104 Wizard was able to get this task.

    So... greater than 95 and less than or equal to 104.
    Both Achievements
    # Apr 29 2020 at 11:43 AM Rating: Good
    To get both the bonus and regular achievements, collect a total of 2 Plump Shark Meats, 7 Plump Streamer Meats, and 15 Plump Spiroc Meats.

    I failed the combine several times before giving up on a character with 55 Baking. It was successful on the first attempt on another character with 381. You should probably have mid 100s/low 200s Baking unless you want to farm for multiple attempts.

    There is no oven in the zone, so I recommend bringing a Portable Oven (5 charges, lasts for 10 mins, made by a tinker) if you're planning to make multiple attempts. You can essentially just farm tons of mats and keep trying. A 12k heal with 30 min CD at 115 is unremarkable so I just gave up on the bonus.

    Also, Sledge randomly drops 1-6 pieces. There was no correlation to how many people were in the zone or had them.

    I did this combine on 6 characters. Successful combine with 302 baking + 12% trophy mod. Successful combine on 4 characters with 54 baking, no mod. A fifth alt failed two combines with 25 and 54 baking, no mods. I got a skill up! Yay! The third combine was successful with 55 baking, no mod.

    You need to do what needs to be done for the bonus item before completing the task, as you have to leave the zone for part of it and won't be able to reenter if you have completed the shared task.

    FYI, they've changed that (they probably saw how useless it really was...). It's now a 10,000 - 12,000 point heal, usable every 30 mins.

    Reward is Fancy Feast - click bite of the Fancy Feast - casting time .03 - recast 23 hours - required level 100 - heals a random amount of health between 5660 and 5800 points.

    To get bonus item you will need to loot 5 more Spiroc meats, 2 more steamers and another shark meat. Go to nearest oven and combine these then back to Tim Deep and turn into princess. Reward looks just like the Fancy Feast you turned into her so no special reward shows under quest rewards or in inventory. You can fail the combine

    Where is the nearest oven? It is not in the instance, so if you are wanting to get the Bonus item at the same time that you win instance, then you need to get the bonus item Before handing in the meats, since you will not be able to leave the zone and return after that since the task is completed and removed from quest window on the final hand in.
