    Bristlebane Day is active on Test!

    Jesters, thieves, bards, or simply fans of mischief and frivolity, are all encouraged to visit Enchanted Lands during these holy days honoring Fizzlethorpe Bristlebane! But that’s certainly not the only place where laughs and pranks await you. I know for a fact, The Silly Billy Sticky Fingers are recruiting Overseers in Qeynos Province District and the City of Freeport in honor of the King of Thieves, and Vetrovia has had an influx of patchcraft creatures! Of course, you can get even more involved by crafting your very own items in celebration of this wonderful holiday. Visit your local tradeskill house to purchase these special recipes!

    P.S.
    Be sure to keep your eyes peeled for special events, especially in Enchanted Lands, occurring only on the highest of silly days, April 1st!

    Piquant Bandana tagged NO-VALUE and Jester's Whirlygig Cap tagged APPEARANCE-ONLY, NO-VALUE they do not attune when equipped and can be passed back and forth to other accounts after being equipped. Was this intended?

    Not a problem just listing this for others to know. Classic Rivervale Ladder can not be climbed to the top.

    The new Rivervale Farm Cart and the old Walless Wheelbarrow look the same. All other crafted and merchant items are good.

    Great job as always! :)

    Good catch on both of those! Those will be adjusted.

    Hi there! Hugs to everyone!

    Been a while, been busy with work and kids as I told Mum.

    Can't say for the other instances, it's 3am, but scaling is perfect for "Rescuing the Princess - A Bristlebane Tale" (I'm in love with that zone). Easy to kill on a 125 conjuror and a tad painful as expected on a mystic.

    I love the new tiles, they're awesome!
    The till is also a great addition.
    And the animation on the rug is just ABSOLUTELY PERFECT, as always.


    I crafted everything without problems and didn't spot any issues besides those pointed out by Kasa.


    I places everything down but the mount in my Opera House (published under name "Bristlebane 2022", Medium homes (please don't upvote) and available in Qeynos under Leucosia)

    Yay silly days are here.
    I checked at least 6 times yesterday if it was here yet.

    I just looked through the merchandise for Bristlebane day and noticed those pretty round halflings (keg) doors.
    For next year maybe, could we get some building blocks with round holes for the round doors to fit in to.

    I thought that one looked a bit too familiar, but I forgot to go digging to figure out why!
  10. Kaitheel Developer

    The following changes are headed your way:
    • Piquant Bandana is no longer tagged No-Value.
    • Jester's Whirlygig Cap is now Attunable.
    • Rivervale Farm Cart has been renamed to "Farmer's Wagon" and the art was changed to something not yet available.
    Hopefully these changes are included with the Test update on 3/18!

    After update Piquant Bandana still not attuning after equipped and can still be passed back and forth to other accounts after being equipped.

    well, Kaitheel did say he hopes the changes will be included, obviously they were not.
  13. Schmetterling Well-Known Member

    I am really happy we got the partial Brewday Festival as it is, people still had lots of fun.
    There were enough quests to earn tokens to buy the merchandise, and besides that we get to harvest on the first of April,
    I also found out that I was able to get the materials through the Overseer, those extra barding slots give us a onetime pony, and that gave me not only regular harvests, but also Brewday fest harvests, that made it possible to even get some of those green clover carpet mounts for some of my toons.

    OOPS, this is the wrong festival.

    Oh, the Piquant Bandana is a crafted item, and is now flagged consistently with the other crafted Bristlebane Day armor items. I did remove its No Value tag though. As opposed to the Jester's Whirlygig Cap, which is purchased from the event merchant.

    Kaitheel , I just found another quest we are not allowed to do on Tarinax because the instance is a copy of a Kunark zone.
    Rescuing the Princess.

    On Denmum's EQ2 Traders Bristlebane page (thanks again, Denmum! :D), there's a notice that Heartgar MacInnes, the Love Loot trader from Erollisi Day, will be available again on April 1st to convert all those candies, etc. that we either forgot to get converted or didn't have time to ("Why are you nudging me, Pony? What do you -- oh, no..."), but it said she was in Qeynos, with no mention of her being in Freeport as well. I'm gonna take as given that she'll be there, too, but you might want to "put that in writing," as they say. :)

    And, I really do hate to come across as a whinger, but can we please not do this again? :-/ Having holidays overlap, having no time or chance to do the April 1st stuff on Test, etc.? :-/

    Having one major holiday end on Live with a two-minute breather before the next major holiday on Live? :-/

    I'm sure you folks would appreciate that, too... ;->

    sorry Uwkete, but they have big plans for this game, remember, the 64-bit update and the beta that begins on the 29th?
    There is a time where we will have a little festival break, so people don't get fall over from sleep deprivation.
    The really should come up with a new holiday called give your devs a break.

    Blargh.

    Thank you! I'll note it for the future.

    I agree, a breather would be nice. Chronomancers have yet to respond to my request that EQ be launched on a different date in 1999.

    There were a few witnesses to the moment at a Fan Faire (back in the day) when an EQ2 Producer publicly suggested we have a live event every month. My face gave me away. Now fast forward to today... and yup, nearly one a month. I have to go lay down.
