Overseer

The Overseer system is the ability to send out agents that you earn on Overseer Quests to gain rewards. It was released on March 11, 2020 as part of EverQuest's 21st anniversary.

As an Overseer, you will be able to send out agents that you earn on Overseer Quests to gain rewards. This new system is designed to help players catch up to current content by giving access to rewards that are found in past content. Its goal is to help you build up your characters faster. Overseer is accessible starting at level 85 and with its launch we will grant all members a free level 85 heroic character.

- Become the Overseer! Gain the loyalty of iconic Agents and protect Norrath from the ever-present ripples of Discord. Send your Agents on harrowing Overseer Quests, into moments spanning the entirety of Norrath's history, and restore balance where you can. Along the way, you'll gain fabulous rewards and grow in power. You may even draw the attention of Norrath's most famous heroes, and perhaps a few particularly nefarious villains. Do you have what it takes to gain the allegiance of Norrath's elite? - Access the Overseer interface via the EQ Menu > Quests > Overseer option, or by entering the command /overseer.

- A mysterious presence in the Plane of Knowledge is interested in the coin gained through Overseer Quests.

To access the Overseer system, use your EQ button > Quests > Overseer. This will begin a tutorial. You can also enter /overseer (or just /over) into a chat window.

There is a limit on completing Overseer tasks of 10 per cycle (12 hours). This limit resets to zero every time the available task list refreshes.

 * Agent - You gain another agent.
 * Getting a Critical Success on a quest will also award you an agent.

Overseer Tetradrachms
Overseer Tetradrachms are an alternate currency gained from some Overseer quests. They can be used to purchase items from a mysterious presence (Overseer Merchant) in the Plane of Knowledge.

Collection items
Overseer Collection Item Dispenser Fragment - Four of these combine to create a Collection Item Dispenser which will grant you a collection item of your choice from a list of a select number of items. This can only be used to obtain collection items for expansions prior to the most recent game expansion.

These are the steps needed in order to get the collection item (from this post by CatPaws on the Daybreak forum):
 * 1) Complete quest and choose collection as reward from the base quest reward screen. This puts a little blue sparkly geode looking thing Overseer Collection Item Dispenser Fragment on your cursor to put in your inventory. These can stack.
 * 2) You need 4 of them to make the final collection reward. Right click on the little geodes and it will eat 4 and give you an Overseer Collection Item Dispenser. This looks like a basket of little colored balls.
 * 3) Hold down right mouse button on basket and a item screen pops up. On this screen you need to click the button by the green "claim reward: and then in purple it says "Overseer Collection Item"
 * 4) Now the base quest reward screen pops up again and it will have a list of the expansions to choose from or an option to go back to the basket This screen will also now have the "preview" "inspect" and "select option" in bottom right corner.
 * 5) Choose which expansion you want. Once highlighted then in bottom right click "select option"
 * 6) Now you are given an item that represents that particular expansion and this pops into your inventory. For example "TDS" is a painting looking thing.
 * 7) Find it in your inventory and then Right Click/hold item and you again are at a base quest reward screen. Now click the claim reward square. This puts another list of the collection categorys in that expansion on your base reward screen.
 * 8) Select the achievement your collect is in. For example the TDS one might be "caverns of endless song" and then click "select option" in bottom right. This puts another item in your inventory - in this case a shell looking thing.
 * 9) This item is the lead item to the sub items for your collection. So once again right click/hold and base quest reward screen pops up again.
 * 10) Click claim reward and the final screen pops up with all the collects for each category in that line. Note even at this point you can select return to first Overseer Collection item or the main category of the ach arc for this item.
 * 11) Now when you click on the item you want and then select option it will pop that shiney in your inventory. Done??
 * 12) No there is more! Now right click that item to "collect' it and have it count towards the achievement.

While there will still be many steps, we are looking at a method to at least let you stay in the reward window until you get the final item, then you will still need to click the collection item once you get it.

I.E. remove step 7,8, 10. Or otherwise phrased remove the sub-items and start with fragments that turn into dispensers that when you go through the steps gets a collection item. Still lots of steps, but less silly items in the middle.

There is no ETA at this time. We need a code change which is a bit backloged.

AAs
It's in the plans. Some missing information is keeping me from completing adding AA's at this time.
