EverQuest Legends Launch Day Patch - 7/28/2026
General
- Kerran is` now available as a player character race. Kerran primary race unlocks are achievable by exploring Kerra Isle.
- The Troopers have removed the barricades in the New Sebilisian Expedition, allowing for adventurers to venture forth, and discover what lies beyond, and maybe figure out just what this place is....
- Introducing Void-touched Potential, a new token that can be earned up to 3 times per week from raid activities through voidlings. A Void-Touched Potential can be merged like motes to increase an item or spell's rank by +1.
- Auto attack will no longer persist if your target's death causes their owned pet to subsequentially despawn.
- Fixed NPC spell casting logic so that it respects spell reuse and recovery times and prioritizes damage over harmful spells.
- Stunned players now receive a short-term immunity from additional stuns that lasts beyond the duration of the current stun. This will prevent chain stunning. However players beware, NPCs also learned the basics of this skill.
- Loss of player control spells (such as NPC charm) are now capped to 30 seconds duration.
- Improved casting behavior of multi-class bards to better prevent stuck-states between songs and casting spells.

That buff is a defensive proc with 1 charge, and a 100% trigger chance. When triggered, a simulacrum of the player is summoned, and the player is teleported backwards, out of harms way.

Kerra Isle
Kerra Isle has been redesigned as a home for new Kerran characters in Norrath. Visitors to the Isle will find Guildmasters, Spell Merchants, a Banker, Constructed Potential, an Adventuring Supplies merchant, and a number of friendly felines with quests to complete!
Newly created Kerran characters will receive a "note" item that can be traded directly to their Guild Master for a small amount of experience and faction. Don't forget to hail your Guild Master afterwards, as they will provide an important task for an achievement on the Isle
Quests on Kerra Isle have been altered to take place on the continent of Odus, including Kerra Isle itself as well as Toxxulia Forest Some familiar quest rewards have been updated to fit the level range of the new area and the design of EverQuest Legends
These quests are also built using the "Task" system for easy tracking of your progress. You can always press [Alt+Q] (default) to open the Quest Journal where you can check how your quests are going
Non-Kerran visitors to the region should also consider hailing a Guild Master to receive the task for the achievement (because they just might decide they'd like to try the cat lifestyle in a future loadout)
