    Limited Time item drops can be obtained from Blood of Luclin missions crates and will grant you a bonus based off of their type, such as Mercenary Training which will decrease the time remaining to train your current mercenary. Limited Time items can only exist in your inventory until they expire, so don't forget to use them!

    This year's third limited time item Mercenary Training, will be available from 12:01 AM PST on November 19, 2020 until 11:59 PM PST on November 25, 2020 when the next bonus will begin!

    Be sure to use this time wisely as you prepare for continuing adventures in Norrath and Reign of Shadows!

    New Hunter's Quest/Items are expected to come out with mid content in about 4 weeks. Can we get a catch-up mechanic for the mass amount of people coming back to the game for TSO? Make the coins heirloom or give us double coins until the new quest. Please!

    Wouldn't this be the fourth limited time item, for week 4? ;)

    Will Mercs from RoS continue to contribute to the BoL battalion buff or will there be a new one for RoS? If it's the latter then raising our mercs up now is pointless dont you think?

    I made a post about this in general:

    It would be nice if somebody addressed this. If they're gonna do a reset like this every year, with nothing from the past contributing, then this whole GULU event is worthless.

    That's 7000 coins.. which at an average of around 6 per day from the overseer quests, and as member, that's 1166.6666 .. let's say 1167 days. That's over 3 years.. Yeah, thanks, great advice!

    Or... you can buy loads of Blood Ember Crates 20 per 3180 DB cash or around 50 bucks. Let's say again you get 6 on average per crate (with membership), that's 120 coins. You'd need 58 20packs, which is 184,440 DB cash or around 2900 dollars.. No merc is ever worth that kind of money.

    The 7000 necessary Jadeite Medailions are just a greedy thing and much too much $$$

    I don't consider it a waste of time unless you have all BoL mercs and they are all lvl 20. If you search in EQ2 Discord there is information showing that merc levels will be increased to 25 with some nice stat boosts.

    Not sure why(if) they would boost the merc level if BoL merc buffs don't apply in RoS. Not even sure that would be possible without a lot of coding magic and computation strain on already lagging servers.

    If any of you haven't leveled all of your BoL mercs to 20 you may miss an opportunity to efficiently train BoL mercs 20-25 until all the RoS mercs drop for you AND you level them to max, training BoL mercs between RoS merc drops/training.
