Vendor owners should be aware that in coming days we will publish a fix next week for an issue with vendors. This issue allowed any item to be placed on vendors as Not For Sale.

Players are urged to review their vendor inventories and set prices on any items that are not […]

Written by the EM Team      It hadn’t ever seemed like such a long journey from Ver Lor Reg to the moongate before, but their group had never been so haggard either. As the humans in Ilshenar had increased in numbers the strain on the city of Ver Lor Reg had grown to the point that it was no longer sustainable for some of the businesses and families.

The Mysterious Healer is still in need of your assistance in preparing cures for the great Gargish Blight.  There are still two weeks before the cure must be administered into the populace.  After the Cure event is finished we will post the total number of cures turned in for each shard. The Mysterious Healer in Ter Mur can be found at the makeshift healers colony at the Riverside Fishing Village.   Happy Experimenting!
