Bonus Experience in the UnderfootJul 26th, 2010 at 11:03 AM by Railus

A three-week long 20% boost to experience is on the way for all Underfoot zones. Here's the story from EQLive:

Greetings Norrathians!

We're excited to announce that from July 28 through August 18, we're going to give you a 20% boost to experience in all the Underfoot zones.

If you've been wanting to make that final push to level 85, but just haven't had the time or felt like your experience bar was crawling, now is the perfect time to show the Underfoot who's boss!

Perhaps you are at the level cap, but have some friends who are lagging behind. This is perfect time to help them catch up to you and experience all that Underfoot has to offer.

The Underfoot zones are:

Arthicrex
Brell’s Rest
Brell’s Arena
Brell's Temple
The Convorteum
The Cooling Chamber
The Foundation
Fungal Forest
Kernagir, the Shining City
Lichen Creep
Pellucid Grotto
The Underquarry
Volska's Husk

Gennavar...if I'm not mistaken, the UF expansion has not been out for 3 years so I doubt you were raiding there 3 years ago, so "You are kidding, right?" You raided a zone that didn't exist 3 years ago...get real and stop trying top look cool.

Are instanced zones in Underfoot included? Only the static zones are listed...
Just wondering.

Who cares if they give UF a 20% boost?! Although it would've been nice to give ALL zones that advantage since not everyone has t5+ gear. Yes, I'm simply a casual player since I can only get on two hours a day due to RL, so it sux for me. I'm guessing that they're trying to lure more people into zones that many just aren't willing to pursue due to degree of difficulty, and rightfully so. Those mobs are nothing to sneeze at to the regular guy who doesn't have high-end gear or three boxes (yes, we're still out there!). Anyhoo, GL with your 20% boost. No skin off my nose, but still a little disappointing nonetheless.

I agree with this post. I only play 3 hours a week as that is all my life will allow. I don't really care that underfoot is getting bonus xp, more power to you and good luck. I am just happy I get to play at all. Maybe everyone else should be thankful for that instead of what they are not getting

you people that are in disbelief that someone/some guilds cant kill something in UF, could please post your eqplayers/magelos so these people can compare.

you also mention raiding and other friends, who i assume have already gotten the gear etc?

not everyone has friends in high end guilds that will drag them through content and gear progression.

a lot of people just don't have the time to spend on raiding, they are more then likely stuck with group weapons(60dmg or so t3 sod, probably less).

even if you only raided 3 years ago, your weapons/gear are still significantly better then t3 group gear - heroics maybe.


some of these mobs literally take 20+ people to kill for some guilds. hell i have seen some bring that many and still wipe.

All it takes is one good tank! I cant see how it takes a raid to kill a yellow, I have 3 toons boxing, chanter, bst and necro, BSt is tank buffed at 47k (with divinity aura and bst jaguar spell). I can take out any named i have encountered in t6 with 1merc healer, Mostly PG nameds no problem. BST is NOT raid gear just clay's from t6-t9. necro and chanter have revamp blackburrow gear.

You are kidding right?!? I last raided about, errr, 3 years ago .... and my group work fine in UF zones. "18 people to kill a yellow" - good God - what are you doing, throwing soft paper bags at it?!

Grab a chanter (to charm a nice dark blue mob) and a decent tank and go for it - enjoy the extra XP!

Excellent expansion - thanks Sony - lovin it!

See you in UF .....

Classes that can solo efficiently already have enough of a bonus. Thank you SOE for something that ENCOURAGES group play. A good group in OMM gear should be able to plow through T4/T5 SOD content and get you set up to do Underfoot zones. I consider myself a casual player (it's been months since I've been on a raid) and do just fine in Brells, CC, and The Foundation.

You people would ***** if the sun didn't come up. I swear EQ is trying to do something nice for us and all you do is cry. Man you people need to bust your @$$ and get your toons up. I been working on my for a long time and as a 85 Rogue in UF zone it was hard but after hard work. I can now tank Cooling Chamber. Me and 2 of my good pals we can fight anywhere in UF. So get some hard work in on your toons and quit b!tching about stuff.

waste of time omg...

be better off giving kurns tower(old skewl) 20% exp boost, will be just as useful as any UF zone to a casual player level 80+ in omm/t3 gear... lol

even fully t3 geared with aas to match, you are still more then likely going to get raped on a trash mob, and if you don't from trash you will for sure from a named...

trash hits 1.5-~3k, named hit for 3-6k+.

i was in brells today, and we actually had to form a raid to kill a named mob, A RAID, even with the raid set we still almost wiped ... lol.

THIS BONUS IS WASTED.

who the hell comes up with this ****...

Have to agree with them, Sony. UF zones are waaay too hard! I found ppl RAIDING regular mobs in CC and dying frequently! If it takes 18 ppl to kill one yellow mob, WTH would I want to spend time there?!

A 20% EXP boost in zones that every mob summons, has tons of HP and requires high end gear to have a chance to survive. Thanks for nothing
