EverQuest II’s most recent game update “Breaking Ground” gives players access to the new group zone Veksar. This dungeon is a preview for the upcoming expansion The Shadow Odyssey scheduled for release on November 18th.

The ancient underwater city of Veksar has once again been discovered by the adventurers of Norrath. Veksar offers new quests and treasures to those who dare enter its treacherous chambers. Players level 80 can make their way to the outpost of Omen’s Call, to see if they can begin to unravel the mysteries of this risen ancient monument. Half of the new dungeon is available to current players and the rest will be available in the upcoming expansion.

Guild Hall Construction Event: The Guild Halls building projects are starting to run low on resources requiring the help of Norrath’s adventurers. Director Jasmine at the Antonica docks and Director Hezreal at the Commonlands docks are seeking workers willing to help alleviate the situation.

Murder Mystery Live Event: The Prophet of Healing has been found murdered and the main suspect is found dead shortly thereafter. It’s up to players to study the clues and figure out who the real murderer is. The progressive live event is schedule to run throughout this update. This prelude event holds significant importance to The Shadow Odyssey journey that begins this November.

Everfrost Revamp: Adventurers levels 40-50 will find dozens of additional quests, four new hubs, and a population friendlier to various play styles, along with a new tunnel to make it easier to travel around the zone.
