September 1, 2026 — Major Patch
The September 1 patch is the largest update since launch, headlined by Plane of Sky bonus quest loot for all classes in your loadout. See the full September patch notes for complete details.
What This Means for Your Build
The Plane of Sky bonus loot change is particularly impactful for:
- Players running multi-class loadouts through the Plane — each class with a quest item eligible for the same kill can receive a bonus drop
- Group farmers who previously had to run separate class-gated runs now earn bonus loot on every qualifying enemy
- Mote farmers benefiting from named rare spawns in the Plane while collecting class quest items simultaneously
Pair this with the solo raids guide for personal instance strategy and dungeons and raids for broader loot context.
September 2, 2026 — Hotfix
A small hotfix resolved three issues the day after the September 1 patch:
- Rare client crash fixed
- Nameplate no longer shows aggro during Feign Death
- Monk Unbound Alacrity AA overhaste calculation corrected
Looking Ahead — Fall 2026
September opens the bridge toward Fall 2026 content, including the confirmed Nektropos Castle mini-expansion from EQ2. Continue monitoring patch notes and the roadmap for confirmed dates.
