The Buried Sea

The Buried Sea is Everquest's 13th Expansion. It was released in February, 2007.

The theme of this expansion is two-fold. On the surface, adventurers will explore the islands and waters of The Buried Sea, off the coast of Odus. By doing missions for the Pirates, adventurers earn their trust, and can purchase rank 1 versions of spells and other equipment.

Under the sea, adventurers learn of the fate of the Leader of the Combine Empire, and can explore the domed city of Katta Castrum. They can earn the trust of the Combine by doing missions around Katta Castrum, and exploring the domed sanctuaries around the city, owned by the Kedge, the Shissar and the Sphynx.

Adventurers, in large raids, can also discover a portal to the Plane of the Sun within the sunsphere that lights up Katta Castrum. There they can travel to Solteris, and witness the results of the invasion of Mayong Mistmore's forces into Solusek Ro's realm. (And by fighting in that realm, adventurers can add their own brand of chaos to the mix, since neither god wants us mortals involved.)

This expansion saw the introduction of Power Sources as an inventory slot. Players can gather gear with a 'purity' setting. They can then equip a power source to improve the gear as long as the source is active. The power source will eventually run out, how fast depending on how much gear is draining it.
