These three angels are the keepers of many awesome treasures that can be earned in Varlyndria.

DEDICATION POINTS: Earned by staying online and are used for purchasing useful consumable items.
GLADIATOR POINTS: Earned in PVP zones by killing other players and are used to purchase player vs player gear which has major bonuses to hp.
HEROIC POINTS: Earned from killing strong bosses and completing difficult tasks and are used to purchase player made items that are created from the donation system.

[Drakiyth]

Dedication Points can net you some really nice consumable items, like mounts, experience potions and
restoration potions. Mounts run at 200% speed and need to be repurchased when their charges run out.




NOTE: Dedication Points are simply earned by staying online in any zone. Players are given 5 points every 5 minutes.
Health, Mana and Endurance potions have 20 charges each.

The Avatar of Legends holds all the player made items you could ever want. Heroic Points are earned through difficult tasks, quests and killing powerful bosses.




The Rift Keeper will judge you based on your STR, DEX, STA, INT, WIS and CHA or the term Gearscore before allowing you access to certain zones. This is to keep new players or alts out of high-end content until they earn their right to be there or have obtained enough attunable gear from other players to qualify. I added this for two reasons: It's a major boost to the economy when you actually do find items to sell to other players and it gives players a goal to reach when they are online.

Varlylndria: Ascension is going to bring a whole new world and here is why:

• Players will earn less money from mobs or sellable junk items now.

• Players can earn a little money with repeatable tasks/jobs.

• Players will earn decent money from finding items and selling them to vendors but not much.

• Items will have solid bazaar worth because of how time consuming they are to acquire.

• Very strong weapons and armor CAN be bought from stores but they are extremely expensive, overall
making money worth while to get those fast but expensive upgrades.

• All normal crafting of the old everquest is history. My crafting is going to be a lot easier to work with and
won't contain hundreds of items of pure garbage that you could create in normal Everquest. I personally hated
the crafting system in EQ with my very being, and that's one of the main reasons I wanted to take a shot at
creating my very own tradeskill recipes that can actually be fun and worth while for players to get into.

After the Ascension happened, a new breed of orcs have taken over the old Crushbone Fortress. This new horde wants to eliminate everything that's not an ally of the greenskins, and have even gone as far as attacking Varlyndria for no reason besides greed and power tripping.

[satora54]

Crushbone is my favorite zone

This thing needs to release yesterday.

The ascension has brought on a lot of strange events, but none is more odd than what happened to Paludal Caverns. Now ruled by a once nameless bandit, Blackrazor has formed an alliance with an insane gnome engineer who has built a series of mechanical sentries to support Blackrazor's sinister intentions.
