In this episode of Richardson’s Rubicon, John Richardson is joined by Jordan Doll to talk EverQuest obsession, with one prize at the centre of it: Greenmist.

Jordan walks through his return to the game and the long chase for the Iksar Shadow Knight’s iconic weapon, including the server journey that led him to Project 1999 Green. Along the way, he digs into why the Iksar Shadow Knight deserves more attention, and how far he’s gone to argue the case, including contacting the developers.

John shares a progress update (late, but still useful) and passes on a practical tip from Blingy. They also touch on the Legacy of Ykesha era, the pull of legendary items, and how EverQuest’s community knowledge and camaraderie is often the real “endgame”.

To close, John puts out a call to guild leaders to come on the show, teases an upcoming discussion on quality of life, and plans a return visit from Jordan.
