Its Q&A time over on the Camelot Herald, this week several of the team leaders try their hand with some of the A's, check it out :

Q. I just read the news on the Herald about closing the Ghost Keep Event. While from one side I'm not that happy (because it was a nice event and a useful addition), I was just wondering: "Who will now recharge the Ring of Undead Quickening and the Ghostly Medal of Honor?" Once they run out of charges, we can throw them away? (Well, not the Necklace, of course!).

A. Our fair Lady of the Jewels did some quick checking to make sure: The Ghostly Medal of Honor can be recharged at any of the Recharger NPCs throughout the realm. The Ring of Undead Quickening however will no longer be able to be recharged once the event has ended. You never know though, someday the boundary of the spirit world may weaken once again and the Ghostly Keep Lords may return.

Q. I have a Level 49 Nightshade and have noticed that I have trouble putting a Level 47 poison on my left handed weapon, yet I can put it on my primary weapon with no issues. I am dragging the poisons right up and onto the weapon from within my inventory. Why can’t I place this poison on my secondary, left handed weapon?

A. The evil Nightshade Team Lead Demonikeen says: You must have +envenom on your offhand weapon. This is an Assassin no-no. When poisoning your offhand, it un-equips it right before applying the poison. So during the time when it's supposed to be applying the poison to your offhand weapon, your envenom skill is not high enough.

Its a festival of fun over on the Gaheris server this weekend, check out the planned events :

After the overwhelming support for the Play on Gaheris weekends and all the wonderful new players that have come to play on Gaheris. Aquilonia and Marrian are hosting a Play on Gaheris Week from July 20th - 27th . They will be hosting a week full of fun, games and of course RAIDS!

Who: Everyone, Veterans and New Players!
What: Come see what Gaheris has to offer and the uniqueness of the PvE server. Enjoy raiding areas that you haven't visited in years.
Where: Gaheris (PvE Server)
When: A week long event that begins July 20th and runs until July 27th
Why: To see the game from a fresh point of view, and just have a good time.
How: Load up Dark Ages and either start a new character, dust off a character you forgot about, or play with ones already on Gaheris.

The events are planned for new and veteran players to the Gaheris Server. We will be hosting different events every night of the week for all levels of players. New players are encouraged to come on over and roll characters anytime between now and then; contact any member of Blue Knights to get ahold of Amy or Marrian to get Aurulite to get you started. All times are Eastern.

It's Grab Bag time over on the Camelot Herald , check out this weeks edition below!

Q. Thanks for the housing fixes; they have been long awaited for. I know you sensed a "but" in that first sentence so here it is:

I have three accounts because my sons and I all play. So I had the opportunity to upgrade 3 houses. On the first house all went well except I was forced to buy a new porch as the porch went away after I upgraded. I thought that perhaps I made a mistake so when I did my second house I made sure that I followed the instructions that I pulled off the Herald knowledge base; verbatim. Alas the same result. So going out on a limb for the third house I bought a porch demolition deed to see if it would give me the porch deed to re-apply later. The porch was demolished but no token to put it back so I had to spend 500 Gold on another porch.

Did do something wrong or is this an oversight?

A. After a few moments of checking into this, The Bearded Wonder shook his head: No you don't get a porch back if you upgrade the house. You must re-buy the porch and place it on the new upgraded house.

Q. I just spent the last 6 hours looking for Dasyatis, a stingray supposedly at location 63k, 60k in Mesothalassa with no luck. I'm curious if this mob is still around and if so, any idea if I'm in the right area?

A. Swimming through the oceans of Atlantis the Lady of the Jewels found this out for you: Dasyatis does indeed live in that area of Mesothalassa. To make him appear, however, you may need to kill deep-chasm rays and deep-chasm barracuda's around that location. This will give Dasyatis a chance to show himself if he is not already up.

Our Billing and Technical Support department will be closed tomorrow so they can spend time away from the phones and enjoy the July 4th holiday. They will return to their desks on Monday at 11:00am EDT.

As always our In-Game Support guys and gals will be at their desks, diligently answering your appeals. Remember to offer them some kind words and maybe a light show with some fireworks!
