Seeds of Destruction

Seeds of Destruction is EverQuest's fifteenth expansion. Released October 21, 2008.

--

Note that access to the zones: 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. Korafax and Discord Tower are now unlocked. To enter any Void besides Void (A) still requires you to complete the Void progression.

Spells and Tomes

 * Rasper's Repository SoD Spells

Rk. I spells and tomes are bought from vendors:


 * Level 81: Oceangreen Hills - Assistant Josephine at loc +5065, -955, +105 (NW of port-in in a building in the fort)
 * Level 82: Bloody Kithicor - Assistant Joseph at loc +1260, -155, +12 (just north of port-in from The Void)

Rk. II spells and tomes are dropped by level-appropriate mobs or bought off of vendors requiring faction.

Rk. III spells and tomes result from turn-ins of runes from raid events or are purchased off of elite vendors after unlocking via a combination of faction and group and/or raid missions. Zebuxoruk in The Void also sells some Rk. III spells to you once you have completed some raids.

Group content
Group content in SoD is separated into tiers:


 * Tier 0: The Void (a non-combat zone used to access other zones in the expansion)
 * Tier 1: Oceangreen Hills, Oceangreen Village, Blackburrow, Temple of Bertoxxulous
 * Tier 2: Bloody Kithicor, Commonlands, Highpass Hold
 * Tier 3: Field of Scale, Kaesora Library, Kaesora Hatchery, Kurn's Stronghold
 * Tier 4: Toskirakk, Korascian Warrens, Rathe Council Chambers
 * Tier 5: Bloodfields, City of Dranik, The Percipice of War
 * Tier 6: Heart of Discord, Citadel of the Worldslayer

Progression

 * Printable Check List

There are six "themes" (or tiers) in the expansion. The sixth theme (Discord) is locked until you've completed the previous five themes.

For each theme completed, you gain access to another version of The Void:
 * Beginning: The Void "A"
 * After Oceangreen: The Void "B"
 * After Bloody Kithicor: The Void "C"
 * After Field of Scale: The Void "D"
 * After Invasion of Earth: The Void "E"
 * After Kuua: The Void "F"
 * After Discord: The Void "G"

The difference? Lore-wise, the above themes are the order in which you are repairing time (eliminating Discord's forces and influence). Item-wise, Zebuxoruk has many more items available for sale with each step you take in progression.

Tasks in italics are optional, but someone needs to have done them to request at least one subsequent mission.

NOTE: You do not have to do them in order. Completing any theme will increase your void progression by one.
