August 18, 2026

Hello and welcome to the match post for August 18th, 2026 for EverQuest Legends. So, let’s see here. Update notification. All servers will come down Tuesday, uh, August 18th, 2026 at 6:00 a.m. Uh, I believe that is 8:00 a.m. Central. Down time is 3 hours. So I guess I should sleep in tomorrow. So they released these a day early. Uh so hopefully these are pretty good. Uh More Castle revamp. More Castle has received a major update. In addition to the named NPCs being guaranteed spawns, they will all have guaranteed loot of a common or rare item with stat bonuses. While some of these items are familiar to explorers of the castle in the years past, many are brand new. Some include exciting new effects ready for you to enjoy as they are uh turned into exultations. Exultations. There we go. So, uh maybe some new uh new spell effects. Maybe there’s a new clicky. I don’t know. But uh hopefully it’s good. All named enemies in the zone now have been designed as rare creatures, vastly increasing their chances of dropping modes of potential. That is very nice. [music] Uh, additionally, the residents of the main castle are now somewhat less aggressive and will not react to your presence uh, from extreme ranges during [music] daytime. Explore the castle at night, however, and you’ll be a harrowing affair once the castle denisonens have shown their true forms. Now, >> [music] >> um if you know anything about Misborn, if you’ve been there at all, [laughter] uh you can uh you can train yourself pretty quick. So, this will be pretty interesting to see how it plays out. Now, I’ve leveled up to an enchanter to about 25. So, we’re going to we’re going to be doing that. uh in the next uh legendary adventure uh Anorat there. So that’ll be fun. Uh fractional UI scaling and [music] cursor scaling. The UI scaling system now supports UI scaling in.25 increments ranging from 75x to 4x. Cursor now has its own scaling factor in game. a new toggle exists in [music] game to use the operating sister system cursor instead of the in-game cursor. Now I use Cashios so I get this really cool big big one as I as I just like jiggle it over and over again. So it’s hopeull hopefully works as good. Uh group experience bonus grouping will now have a small experience bonus. All right. Game play increase the melee combat potential of the beast lord warders substantially. Uh sounds pretty nice. I just got the sky weapons for beast lord. Uh ones with slow and ones with pet heal. Definitely be interesting to to uh see how you know a beast lord plays eventually. fixed an issue where raid invites would fail in certain circumstances. Non-attackable NPCs should no longer multiccast or multiclass. Addressed an issue where NPC corpses could continue walking even after they’ve died. Restored the original classic two-handed blunt animation to the game. You will no longer gain skill-ups from skills you haven’t been used. You haven’t been used when reposting. Uh, this is gaining hand to hand. Well, repost. I believe that’s the fix there. Creatures in Plane of Fear and Beyond should no longer fear or charm you so hard you’re unable to approach the game again for 24 hours. Fixed four players getting charmed and then shrunk by the pet scaling option game. addressed an issue where NPCs would attack each other after the charm fades. Interesting. Fixed a bug where cleave wasn’t working with one-handed blunt. Updated the message that appears while being stunned to clarify that you’re now immune and that you are currently immune on subsequent subsequent I can’t see the word hits. Now I get stunned non-stop. Uh even with the full 100% stun immunity. Like it’s spell stuns. It’s constant spell stuns. Like if they got a spell, if a mob’s got a stun, it casts it. I don’t know why. Spirro lords stuns me for like 10 minutes and he 10 minutes 10 seconds, but he’s uh he’s a ranger so I don’t get it. Fixed an issue where specific music tracks would skip over music tracks if environmental sounds were disabled. Fixed an issue where music needed to completely come to a stop before being able to resume the same track. The same track will be available to resume on this sub in the same sequence without having to fully have the track come to a stop. All right. uh targeted area of effect spells such as harmony can now affect NPCs you have not engaged in combat. Right? So these these have like AoE’s to them, right? And typically [music] the AoE’s don’t hit things if you’re not engaged, right? So hopefully that fixes that. I I kind of noticed that when I was playing with the with the bar uh the druid harmony in one of the playthroughs, but it’s very interesting. mounts that are obtained from AAS will not only grant the mount speed you when you are a valid class for using that AA. All right. Is that Do you get a free mount? [laughter] Hold on here. Do you get a free mount if you level Oh, okay. Wait, hold on. That might be like you get a mount, right? But then you you get like slow mount speed, right? I’m just thinking like I don’t I don’t really want to spend 100k on a mount. I mean, if I have if I have to level a shadow knight to like 10 [music] to get five AAS, you know, that’s a different story. Uh, see, you fixed an issue where long 5 to 10 seconds recovery cool down would fire if you used the stop action keybind with bard is one of your classes. Yeah, seen that before. fixed an issue where range check on contact procs such as vampiric embrace would not properly would not work properly on NPCs with large hitboxes. Life spike spell should be moved to level from level eight to level five for shadow knights. A new life tab spell life bite has been added at level 10 for shadow knights and level eight for necromancers. This new spell has been added to the auto grant list for both classes. Oh, that’s very nice. That is very nice. Uh that’ll definitely like that’s a life spike is a really really good life tap, right? So that’s going to be nice earlier on for uh Shadow Knight zones and population. The wasps/bees in the plane of sky have had seen their stingers file down while charm. Now I’ve been doing plane of sky for the last two days because of this. I try to unlock the rest of my classes before charm gets uh just it takes longer, right? I can do it without the charm, but like it it’s a schllo. And uh oh my god, I have been doing this for so long. And uh definitely uh going to miss the murder bee. Uh the one the spawn known as murderb should be a bit easier to exterminate in solo instance. This thing does so much DPS. I I actually killed all three of them at once like face tanking them. But man, it was it was everything it took. Everything it took. Uh, shimmering meteors have also had their damage tuned down, while charmed snow longer overwrites the zones precipitation type, preventing rain from falling. Praise Karana. Rain is no longer too small to see. Wild animals should be friendly towards Karen, similar how they react to rangers and druids. Monsters should no longer try to patrol through the walls of Runny Eye. Seplishini white light blade bright in ocean of tears now has considerably shorter respawn time. I have no idea what that NPC is for. Uh definitely going to be interesting to see. Fixed an issue where highle monsters in ced keep were taking excessively long time to respawn. Non raid boss NPCs are now restricted from casting charm if they already have a pet. All right, quests. The soul soldiers brooch quest in math mountains will now allow players to choose their reward. All right, so that sounds like something fun to do. updated the Tor corruptor final turn in to properly grant the quest completion title to some players that do not meet the lower requirements of the quest. Players now given the corresponding potential of the void task when they enter the raid instance. Upon entering the raid instance, all other potential of the void tasks are removed from the task list. I guess to print prevent getting multiple like the bug the other day. Uh corrected an issue allowed player illusions to be used as pet illusions. As a result of this change, we added a conversion button to the guise of deceiver and the amulet of necropotins that allows these items to be turned into the pet illusion version. Blood moon has now now has the focus effect improve vampurism which increases your life tap uh damage. fixed an issue preventing armor ornamentation ornamentation tokens from working when created from cloth armor. Copper band now has a 1A. The unholy steed, holy steed, the abysmal seed, and the valiant steed will now summon bridles, which can be used to summon the mount instead of directly summoning the mount. Interesting. fixed an issue where various animation such as whips and bows were not animating on attack. Players player pets now prevented from equipping secondary only items when they utilize a two-hander in their primary. All right. UI. The search feature for spell inside of actions windows had his data data expanded to be able to search more fields. added UI scaling to the server selection screen. Fixed observed issue with spacing and scaling. Fixed observed issue with where window would not keep relative position and not keep on screen size or rescaling. Adjusted inventory AC and weight labels to not include extra spacing. Scaling now applies before character select. So, the loading screen is also able to scale properly. Fixed layout calculation bug that was causing the action window to produce graphical artifacts when shrinking the window vertically. On fresh installations of EverQuest Legends, a UI scaling is now automatically detected and used. Change the UI font scaling to dynamic rerization. The map window should be more compatible with UI scaling. All context menus will now be fully kept on the screen. Then this includes a spell list, rewrite clip, a limp, right click, and empty gym. The personal is instance window. Now properly shows responding non-responding selections correctly. fixed a display issue with the item inspection window that occurs after viewing the item that is convertible, such as the ganol slayer item. All right, a batch of new maps have arrived for the maps window. Fixed a bug causing [music] control options momentarily duck toggled not load the saved state. added a new options toggle interface general to use the action spells window instead of the spell book for open spell book keybind and the book button on your and the book button on your bar. All right, that’s pretty nice. Uh added a button in the spell book to open the actions window in the spell tab. added the same toggle from the options in the spell book for visibility. Very nice. So, the big thing here is the miss more revamp, right? Uh a buff to shadow knights, whatever that was right here. Blood Blood Moon, right? That’s a that’s going to be pretty nice, I think. I don’t know. I don’t know if it’s going to be enough to push, you know, Shadow Knights up a little bit, but uh definitely pretty nice. Uh looks like a good patch. Um you know, hopefully this revamp is uh is killer. I’m going to spend uh you know, a lot of time here trying to level up my enchanter and uh maybe we’ll maybe try another one, but I feel like enchanter is the one to go here because of the large trains. But we’ll see. We’ll see and maybe we’ll hit up CG uh in a follow-up video. But uh there you go. That is the Notch Pot for August 18th, 2026. Recording it the night before. So if this changes, well, it changed. But [laughter] thank you very much for watching and please have a fantastic day.
