Giant skeletons have started attacking the gates of Ak'anon, and threaten to crush the small gnome army defending it. Join the resistance and help them not only stop the giant skeleton invasion, but uncover who's behind it all. Gnomish inventors will aid you in your mission, granting you boons like super-size, a flamethrower, and a top-secret bunny disguise. Best of all, the mission is level-agnostic, allowing characters of any level play through it together without the use of shrouds.

• Piestro's Day Off

Piestro was enjoying a day off wandering about the Great Divide, when the designers contacted him and gave him some alarming news: Bristlebane is making a huge stink about how the developers haven't paid him any attention lately, so he kidnapped one of them and stashed them away in the Plane of Mischief.

The design team has asked Piestro to find some brave adventurers to rescue the captured developer. You will have to play by Bristlebane's rules in his realm, however, and become one of his wacky minions. What tricks does Bristlebane have in store for you and your fellow adventurers? There is only one way to find out; enter the Plane of Mischief and try to keep your wits about you!

A necromancer by the name of Xmiticzin has obtained a larger piece of a Cazic's shard, and gained control over the artifact vault in Chapterhouse of the Fist.

In order to reach him, you'll have to get through his games alive.

• Be True - Be False
  • To Thine Own Creator... Be True

Choose to either work with the minions of the First Creation in Convorteum to discover which of his creations has become a traitor, or to overthrow his tyrannical rule! (you can do both, but they share a 6 hour lockout timer)

The Plane of War

• Allakhazam: War Games
• EQ Resource: War Games

The Plane of War 15th anniversary group mission is called War Games. You obtain it by speaking to Commander Gorok in the Plane of Tranquility. It is designed for players level 65 and up. It will scale in difficultly and reward based on the level of those in the mission.

The loot chest should contain one of the following items. These items are all Lore Group: Lesser Remnants of War, which means you can only have one of the five.

• Bloodied Brawn Stone
• Chipped Stone of Starfall
• Essence of the Bear Spirit
• Fragment of Purethought
• Rune of the Nimble

There is also an illusion item with AC. This item is intended to be in the chest every time.

• Bloodmetal Inlaid Gnollish Totem - It changes the user into a Gnoll and casts a buff that offers some AC. The buff adds Item: Gnoll Reaver Fortitude to your Special AAs.

If you turn the Totem in to Yaldu Bwor (Spirit Shrouds), the Gnoll shroud NPC in Plane of Knowledge, this will unlock five Gnoll Shrouds to use. As you level these shrouds the AC buff on the Totem Clicky will gain in power, at max rank 5/5 the AA description says it increases your armor class by 545 points. This AC buff stacks with all other AC buffs. To level up the Totem, see the quest Gnoll Spirit Shrouds.

Should you complete the mission with a "high score" you will be granted a bonus title suffix ", Dog of War".

Upon completion, each character gets a small amount of experience and 1 Commemorative Coin.

Each one is exactly the same, except the port location changes. The list of locations is Skyfire, Stonebrunt, Great Divide, North Ro, Nektulos, Dreadlands. If you have an augmentation in any of the slots, it tells you, "You must remove any augments in this item before attempting to convert it."

In addition, there are 'hidden' bonus items from two of the tasks:

• Darkened Corrupted Orb of Living Ice from Delving into Frostcrypt.
• Darkened Blackburrow Trinket from Fippy's Further Revenge. Received by turning in bonus item Qeynosian Scalp Trophy to a gnoll commander in Blackburrow.

Lost Wayfarer's Tent - Bonus reward for 19th anniversary task Lost but Not Forgotten.

Nineteenth anniversary

Solo Completing each of the solo tasks earns you 5 Commemorative Coins.

• Pieces is Pieces (Allakhazam, EQ Resource) - Given by Fabikren in the Plane of Knowledge.
  • Bonus achievement and item Deep Caverns Collector's Case. Note that before you can get this item, you must finish Fish Eyes in the Dark (below) or it will state that you do not have the knowledge for such a combine.
• Fish Eyes in the Dark (Allakhazam, EQ Resource) - Given by Cedfer the Fishmonger in the Plane of Knowledge.
  • Bonus achievement and item The Bone Rod. The Bone Rod can no longer break if used for fishing since the July 18, 2018 game update.

Group

Completing each of the group tasks earns each character 10 Commemorative Coins.

• Lost but Not Forgotten (Allakhazam, EQ Resource) - Given by Dismas Kaneriti in the Plane of Knowledge. The difficulty level is tuned for twelve players, and will therefore take a long time for six to complete.
  • Bonus achievement and item Lost Wayfarer's Tent. The item is a trophy.

Hint: In order to avoid being swarmed by many mobs in the final fight, before doing the step Find Sila Warren, the rogue 0/1 (The Chambers of Eternal Affliction), go to the south most room on the west side of the zone and kill the four mobs in the room (one in each corner).

19th anniversary group task A Formal Dinner Party

• A Formal Dinner Party (Allakhazam, EQ Resource) - Given by a Dreadspire servant in the Plane of Knowledge. Task locks at the step Speak with Melion Pell.
  • Bonus achievement and item Extruded Black Pearl.

“	There *IS* a way to know the correct room [for the bonus item in A Formal Dinner Party]. If you know the murderer and took good notes along the way of things that "don't belong", and make a careful observation of the murderer before you state the room, then information *IS* available. (that's as much of a hint, and it's a fairly telling hint IMO, as I'm giving, at this time) One shortcut, if feasible around mobs, is that killing the hallway NPC's is not necessary, nor the "entry hall" Only the rooms that Melion asks about can have the clues.	”
— Ngreth, EQ Developer

Twentieth anniversary

The 20th anniversary introduced Gnome Memorial Mountain (GMM), which will remain in the game permanently.

• 20th Anniversary Challenge (achievement) - This achievement will grant you (after the April 2019 game update) a Platinum Cake Slice Ornamentation, which will make your weapon look like a slice of cake.

Quests

• The Known Laws of Aviation (Allakhazam, EQ Resource) - Given by Giraga in the Rathe Mountains. Note that while three steps say to give items, "to the sphinxes", they should be given to Volantpiscis.

Giraga the troll has come to the sphinxes for information. Giraga asked a warrior in her town to train her to be as strong as him. He laughed and told her, 'mebbe when fish fly.'

Krastoraab, Acolyte of the Cycle, has a story that he wishes to tell any who is willing to hear it. A story about the cycle of life, death, and everything in between. He needs the help of several spirits who have since passed, and he is waiting for their cycle to begin anew.

• Paintings Playing Poker (Allakhazam, EQ Resource) - Given by Big Stick Jones in West Freeport.

Big Slick Jones loves his poker, and one of his early poker memories is the stories that would be told about the crows playing poker at his hometown tavern, getting him interested in the craft. He'd love to hear more about the other paintings around Norrath and if they're still up.

Missions

• Beyond Espoir (Allakhazam, EQ Resource) - Given by Krastoraab Puremane in Shar Vahl. Requires completing Death Finds a Way to request. Bonus reward is Fungal Shrieker Spore.

Note that for the step Speak with Zebuxoruk in The Void 0/1 (The Void) you must access The Void (H) through Ethernere Tainted West Karana.

Each of them will give a reward of Commemorative Coins, and if you defeat all of the crew members, you can unlock the door to Krasnok's cabin and face the Captain (#17!) himself for raid-quality rewards.	”
— March 2016 Patch Preview

“	Krasnok’s 16 new officers will offer a challenge for groups of level 105 adventurers. Each carries a Commemorative Coin as a reward for defeating them. If you can overpower all of them you will be able to unlock the door to Krasnok's cabin and face the Captain himself! To battle him, however, you will need a raid of level 105 characters. Defeating Captain Krasnok will result in raid-quality rewards.	”

Twenty-third anniversary

• Mad Emperor (Allakhazam) - Given by a Frightened Guardian in the Dreadlands.

Rumors have been spreading about activity in Karnor's Castle. Eerie green lights, screams . . . stuff like that. Not that these things never happen in the castle, but never this frequently!

Twenty-fifth anniversary

• Inner Turmoil - Given by Ghrald McMannus in Katta Castellum. This raid also has three achievement challenges. You need to complete the 25th anniversary quests and mission to request this raid.

Dragons, Dragons, Dragons!

Dragons, Dragons, Dragons! is both a group quest and a raid. If you form a raid, you get the raid version. It can appear at various times of the year. It first appeared during the 10th Anniversary.

The reward is two augments. One is Gold Plated Contact Spring Model ____, which fits most slots and the other is Gold Plated Spiked Gear Model ____, which fits in the Charm slot. The model of the Charm aug that you receive depends on the credited time on your account, unlike the other model augs that are based on how far you advance in the quest.

The rewards listed as "Model ____" are rewards where the better you do on the quest, the greater the reward and the higher the model number. For example, Model XX (twenty) is better then Model XIX (nineteen). You can not have two of the same name but of different models. You can destroy them and at any time just request new ones from Distribution Facilitator XCV in the Plane of Knowledge, who will always give you the highest models you are entitled to.
