GU 100: Collections

We’re getting even closer to the members-only launch of GU 100 on Thursday, April 28, 2016. If you haven’t seen our other preview articles yet, make sure you catch up on everything that’s been unveiled so far:

• The Island of Zek Scourge Wastes
• Fabled Zones
• Scourge Keep (Raids)
• Experience Vials

And now, we’re going to talk about Collections & Heritage Collections!

BY: Kyle “Kander” Vallee

For GU 100, we will have over 40 new collections for you to seek, spread throughout all of the new content in the update, including both solo and heroic versions of Zek, the Scourge Wastes, and both advanced solo and heroic versions of Scourge Keep. You will also find new collections within each of the new fabled zones: The Fabled Temple of Cazic-Thule, The Fabled Ruins of Varsoon, The Sanctum of Fear and the Chamber of Immortality. All of these collections for the update must be sought out in order to complete the rare meta-collections and receive the final rewards.

One of these many zones from GU 100 will also contain a secret rare collection which we are calling a Heritage Collection, as it contains bits and pieces from the heritage quests for the Short Sword of Ykesha and the Shiny Brass Shield. Both of these quests were featured in the original Orcish Wastes and these collections are homage to those infamous heritage quests. Upon completing these collections you will have a choice between a fabled version of these items that have new updated effects.

Are you a shiny fanatic? You’ll need to be a member to get your hands on these when GU 100 releases! Find out more at www.everquest2.com/membership.

Maybe this will finally be a beastlord shield that's better than the ones from AoM? Let us cross our claws.

Shineeeys.... so pretty! Yes.. my precious! Come to momma!

As long as the Meta Reward is better then the TOT Meta Reward, that was such a joke after all the time spent and updates to get to it in game.

I wonder where the zone in area will be located

Unless they are no-trade or heirloom, no membership required.

When you are talking about collections which are kind of a heritage I guess each completed one will count towards collections completed in total AND also for the heritage achievement-counter.

Well that's all bloody fantastic... I do love a shiny... Although pretty hacked off when the reward is non choosable!!!! Needs to make sure every toon wants and is incentivised to complete the collections for a (better than ToT) reward!!!

Not sure I understand what this means. I think you're saying the choice is between the Sword OR the Shield. Is this correct ?

I'm sure they will probably at least be heirloom. I HATE the no-trade tag on the red shinies in the ToT dungeon collections. I hate the heirloom tag on items, but hate the no-trade tag even worse, and don't see the point of it. Bad enough that they made red shinies as lore in previous collections. Hating that they even came up with an excuse to keep making items heirloom. They might as well make everything heirloom and not let us sell or trade anything in game to other players, making the broker practically inconsequential. :/

love it. keep up the great work there at Day Break.

Best meta collection system to date was in TSO where all the zones contributed a shiney to the final ONE main collection. Not just rambling on for one collection after another to give...wait for it....just a rehash item with some added base stats that you can get easily from pretty much no effort at all elsewhere.

I miss those days .

I absolutely HATE the no trade tag on items...especially collection items. I don't see the purpose to no trade items....heirloom should be the standard instead of no trade. JMO

it wasn't a joke, it was an insult, the whole xpac was a joke

The whole of the game is becoming an increasingly humorless joke since its sale to daybreak(deybroke da'game is my newest toons name)
