April Feature Pack

Here are some tweaks to existing components that I think you're going to enjoy using. Between Tradeskills/Harvesting, Achievements, Custom Timers and the new Beta, there's a little something here for everyone.

Suspended Animation

The Harvesting Helper was updated a while back to stop whenever you get aggro while trying to harvest. Then later it was updated to optionally resume harvesting when you get out of combat again. Several of our members wondered if harvesting can be similarly suspended and restarted whenever you open and close the Tradeskills window.

The answer is yes, and the newest premium Harvesting Helper can do it. It shares the same checkbox in Window Manager as the combat setting. (Image 1 above)

Crowning Achievement

Back in February, Darq Side member Valdstein asked if we could add some URL buttons to the Achievements tab in the Quest Journal. The answer is once again yes. Clicking the Wikia link takes you to the achievement in EQ2i, and clicking EQ2U takes you to your character's personal Achievements tab. (Image 2)

Now you have two different ways to use the Internet to work with Achievements. The Wikia offers more general links to other related Achievements, rewards, etc., while EQ2U links you directly to your own unique progression. Thanks to Feldon for creating the Achievement link code on his website just for us!

Time and Time Again

A player in Discord remarked recently that our countdown timers should count down once and then expire like an hourglass or egg timer, instead of restarting automatically. Now you can choose either behavior for each of your five timer slots. (Image 3)

Many thanks for testing, feedback and suggestions on all of these improvements from several of our members including Rosyposy, chief, Viper and Alils.

Beta In the House

As you probably know there is another cool beta going on. This time it's for Game Update 122: Empire of Antiquity. So far there has only been one change to the default UI, in this case to the "omnihouse" Player Housing window.

Although I haven't seen the new tab in action yet, the code appears to be related to buying and selling houses. Because it doesn't affect the housing window on Live servers, it's been added to the Extras package in both areas. So no special downloading instructions for Beta.

Happy Easter and Happy Spring!
