Pantheon: Rise of the Fallen Build 0.17.913 Dec 19 2025

Posted on by

Build 0.17.913
Released: December 19, 2025
Double Experience Bonus
In the spirit of the holidays and as a thank you to everyone who has been participating in Early Access so far, we have activated a double experience bonus. This bonus will remain in effect until our Combat and Progression Update which is currently targeted for Spring of 2026. Note: In some cases, for example if you are soloing an NPC with a high group experience modifier, the amount of experience you earn will be capped for that encounter.
General
Players may now tame and ride horses throughout Terminus beginning at level 20. To learn the taming skill and acquire their first mount, players should visit the stables in Demith village and speak to Stablehand Phosy. Please note that this is the initial implementation of our mounts and taming system. Additions and enhancements to this system are planned for future updates. If for some reason players lose their ability scroll for Taming once they have obtained it, a replacement can be obtained by speaking with Stablehand Phosy again.
• Added the “Use Mount” key mapping, currently mapped to the H key, which will call your active mount to you if you have one, dismount if you’re mounted, or mount if you’re standing close enough to your active mount. This can be remapped in the Input tab of the Settings window.
• You can now toggle walking on/off with the period/full stop (-) key. This can also be remapped in the Input tab of the Settings window.
• Falling damage has been reduced a bit

• A strange magical artifact has appeared just inside the entrance of Halnir Cave. Rumors persist that a twin to this artifact exists somewhere deeper in the depths of the caverns.
• The village of Demith has received a set dressing pass and should now look more lived-in. Additional visual improvements are planned for future updates. Note that some NPCs and crafting stations have moved around within the village as part of this pass.
• Not to be outdone by the villagers of Demith, by the order of the Queen, the Thronefastian Ministry of Interior Decoration has removed most of the furnishings from houses within Availia temporarily. Reportedly, the Queen’s architects are hard at work drafting plans to restore the grandeur of Availia as soon as possible.

• In some cases, players may fall below the terrain when logging in or teleporting. Players in this situation should utilize the /stuck command if possible. This issue will be addressed in a future update.

Posted on by

Build 0.17.706
Released: November 19, 2025
Important
The Wizard class has received a major revision. Many of the old wizard spells have been deactivated and replaced with new versions. If you play a wizard, you will need to visit a trainer NPC and repurchase most of your spells. The spell prices for new wizard spells have been temporarily set extremely low to help make this easier for players. We hope that our wizard players will enjoy the new and improved magical power at their disposal.
World
• Local weather systems have been re-enchanted to stop chasing players across the map.
• The Wildmound Cradle in the Silent Plains is now accessible for characters level 36 and higher. Adventurers who wish to explore this new area should proceed with caution.
• A special high-level event has been enabled in Black Rose Keep. This event can occur randomly and has a higher chance to occur when more groups are actively adventuring in the zone.
• Gnashura, the Uncounted Prince, may once again be confronted within his lair in Halnir Caves. The appropriate key will be needed to open the door to said lair, however, and obtaining that key may require several expeditions into the dungeon to unravel some of its secrets.
General
• Added support for being able to map the same key to different things in the key binds UI.
• Added the “Auto Sprint” key bind, which by default is mapped to the LeftShift key and allows sprint to be toggled on/off by tapping the LeftShift key, in addition to being able to hold that key down to sprint as before.

• Corrected an issue that would sometimes cause spell effects to not display in the intended position on a target.
• Fixed a bug in character creation that left the Ul in a bad state after cancelling.
• Most wraith NPCs now count as undead for the purposes of spells and abilities that target the undead.
• Current weight will now be displayed in red text when the player is encumbered (carrying more than their max carry weight).
• Macros now have a limit of 50 lines.
• Added more hair styles for halflings.
• Added the /rename command that allows players to rename their character by typing /rename followed by the new name. Please note that you can only rename your character once. If the command fails, it does not count as your single use allowance per character.
Bug Fixes
• Fixed a crash related to unsupported ASCII characters in chat.
• Fixed several issues with climbing and hanging systems.

_____________________

*** Shattering of Ro ***
Welcome to EverQuest: Shattering of Ro, the 32nd expansion for EverQuest!
Druzzil Ro is murdered! Adventurers stand accused. Rampant storms of broken magic sweep across Norrath.
Primordial tempers flare and battle lines are drawn as an enraged Solusek Ro invades the Plane of Growth. Rallos Zek and Innoruuk have already joined the invasion, but Tunare does not stand alone. Mithaniel Marr has come to her aid while Quellious seeks an altogether different alternative to war. Amidst this turmoil, the rest of the pantheon watches and waits, but there is an ominous silence from the Underfoot.
Planar conflict seems inevitable as the gods rally their allies and followers. Will you heed their call to either uncover the truth behind these catastrophic events or fan the flames of war?
– Learn new spells, combat abilities, and alternate abilities.
– Find new items and learn new tradeskill recipes.
– Explore six new zones.
– Participate in new raids and quests.
– Complete new achievements.
– Gain a pair of new shared bank slots.

– In honor of the new Vah Shir Druid race and class combination, Vah Shir heritage crates are available on the marketplace for a limited time.
– The bandolier can now insert and remove items from the Equipment Key Ring. It will add items to the Equipment Key Ring if you have the Store Equipment Set Items setting enabled.

*** AA ***

– Melee – Fixed an issue with the Archetype AA, Finishing Blow, ranks 39-44 that let it trigger on targets 6 and 7 levels lower than the caster instead of 8.
– Beastlord – Updated the Class AA, Roar of Thunder, all ranks, to apply its Str/Dex/Agi debuff as a triggered spell with values at approximately 90% of those provided by the Necromancer spell Line Grip of Mori and the Shadow Knight spell line Dire Constriction. Additionally, the hate reduction component of this AA has been increased at higher ranks while the damage component has been decreased so that the hate reduction is consistently 5 times stronger.
– Berserker – Updated the Class AA, Everburn, all ranks, to use a different damage effect that will yield increased damage output.
– Berserker – Updated the Class AAs, Furious Rampage and Focused Furious Rampage to have a 15 minute reuse timer.
– Druid – Updated the Class AA, Season’s Wrath, to have a max incoming damage effect value of 16-20% at rank 8, but all ranks now include an additional flat incoming damage effect that will continue to scale with future ranks. These effects no longer increase the damage of procs.
– Ranger – Updated the Class AA, Elemental Arrow, to have a max incoming damage effect value of 12-20% at rank 13, but all ranks now include an additional flat incoming damage effect that will continue to scale with future ranks. These effects no longer increase the damage of procs.
– Rogue – Updated the Class AA, Twisted Shank, all ranks, to apply its incoming damage, poison counters, and healing reduction as a triggered spell with max values of 18-22%, 12, and -20% at rank 42 so that its DoT effect can now stack. Additionally, the incoming damage effect no longer increases the damage of procs.

– Fixed an issue with Cash Loot being sold if it is in a locked slot.
– Moved font declarations for the new UI engine to CSS rather than game code.
– – This will allow players to choose their fonts by changing the defined fonts at the bottom of the main.css file in the uiresources/default folder (currently this is the only location the new UI will use for CSS/HTML).
– – Several fonts have already been defined as examples and included in the default font folder.
