===Howling Stones===
From the October 8, 2009 patch message:
* Apparently while performing some end-of-the-summer cleaning, the doors within Howling Stones were left unlocked. It may be some time before a maintenance crew can be sent there again to lock the doors up tight. Use this knowledge as you will. 
* In addition, the spells protecting the entrance to Howling Stones have weakened, and adventurers of lesser skill and strength may find its halls now accessible.

===''Planes of Power''===
* The Plane of Innovation requires that you be level 46 or higher.
* [[The Planes of Power flagging guide]] - Note:  This is now mostly obsolete, as being level 62 or higher will get you into almost all of the Planes of Power zones.

===''The Serpent's Spine''===
Removed the flag requirements for The Serpent's Spine (TSS) expansion raids to enter the raid zones as long as you are level 74 or higher. The person requesting the raids will still be required to have the proper flags to request the raid. - [http://forums.station.sony.com/eq/posts/list.m?&topic_id=144680 Patch December 23, 2008].

===''[[Zones_by_expansion#Secrets_of_Faydwer|Secrets of Faydwer]]''===
{{Cquote|Zones with key or flag requirements will now unlock themselves automatically when later expansions open (on standard and progression servers). Meldrath's Mansion and Crystallos zones are now unlocked on standard servers.||| Patch Notes for April 13, 2011}}

===''[[Seeds of Destruction]]''===
Korafax, Lair of the Riders (Kuua) and Discord Tower used to be locked until you completed The Void "E".  With each new expansion, older zones are unlocked.  They are now unlocked.

==Sanctus Seru==
* [http://everquest.allakhazam.com/db/zone.html?zstrat=142 AllaKhazam's Sanctus Seru page]

===Access to Lord Seru=== 
When you port in with Arx key, turn left and go up first staircase. When you come to the first lobby at the top of the stairs, bear left (south) and head all the way down the corridor. You come to another lobby. There is a room directly ahead. Open the door and go in. On the left wall is a bookcase. Immediately after the bookcase the wall is fake. Pass through it to a similar room. Exit the room by its door and dead ahead is the clicky-portal to get to the start of the maze.
