For today only, EverQuest II’s annual Bristlebane Day (April Fool’s Day) celebrations get kicked up a notch with special quests, rewards, buyables, and harvestables.

Make sure you head over to the Enchanted Lands and speak with Imenand the Sphinx for two today-only quests, and clear your bags so you have loads of room for harvestables from Frostfell, Tinkerfest, Erollisi Day, and more.

Get to it, since Bristlebane Day goes back to “normal” tomorrow!

Back in March, I was thrilled to have a chance to help other members of the EverQuest 2 community build playgrounds and decorate a huge guild hall for Ribbitribbitt, a terminally ill 6-year-old boy. It was an incredible thing to see and be a part of, and it was wonderful of his parents to allow us to share in and brighten his life for even a few minutes.

I learned this morning that Ribbit passed away Sunday night. I’m heartbroken, and I can’t imagine how his parents are feeling. Please join me in sending love and prayers to his family. Ribbit, I hope you have that island in the sky for real now!

The neatest thing I’ve built in a while. Ingredients:

• 7 x Black Marble Tile
• 1 x Freeport Round Counter
• 1 x Tuptan Tad Pond
• 1 x Halasian Andiron

I’m going to add a screen and some fireplace tools, so it’s not quite finished yet, but it turned out so well that I wanted to share!
