2.4.2 Upcoming and Implications
Monday, May 5, 2008 by C. Carter
This is complete conjecture on my part, but I believe a big patch is incoming within the next few weeks. In my opinion, 2.4.2 is right around the corner, with main indicators being the first world kill of the next-to-last boss by SK-Gaming (EU) yesterday and the significant progression on the final gate by our server.
Currently, Bonechewer is about a third of the way through on Stage 4 (32% as of 2:16 PM Server Time today). Last week, at this time, we were only around 12%. Incidentally, the quest for progressing Stage 4 is obtained from Mar'nah and is called [70Daily] Discovering Your Roots.
So what does this mean? When 'chewer finishes the final Stage, it will most likely coincide with the major patching of 2.4.2. Primarily - for smaller and less-progressed guilds such as Frequently Reported - this means we'll have access to epic gemstones from the vendor on Isle of Quel'Danas (which Ielle will be able to cut) as well as the start of Arena Season 4. Those so inclined will be able to vendor purchase S2 Gladiator gear.
