New Items

Sentinel's Fate includes over 2,000 new items, including armor, weapons, and consumables.  

New Zones

There are two new overworld zones in Sentinal's Fate:  The Sundered Frontier and The Stonebrunt Highlands.  These zones take place in the lost continent of Odus.

New Raids 

 There are three new raids included in Everquest II: The Sentinel's Fate. 

•  Lair of the Dragon Queen;
•  Perah'Celsis' Abominable Laboratory 
• The Palace of Roehn Theer

 
Sentinal's Fate also introduced a new raid system which implemented both a "normal" and a "challenge" mode. By doing certain tasks inside the raid you can either make the raid easier or harder depending on your raid crews abilities. Along with the expansion introduced a "token" system with the raid. Once defeating a boss you are awarded one token which you can use to purchase upgrades to gear or raid adornments.

   

Gear Improvements 

Gear in Sentinel's Fate is designed to be role-based rather than strictly class-based.  This is meant to alleviate some of the issues that developed in a game which has 24 different classes. Previous expansions intrduced "patterns" which allowed you to exchange the "pattern" for a piece of armor for your class. This lead to an issue with some patterns rarely for some classes. With Sentinal's Fate you use raid tokens to purchase adornments for the armor which are specific for your class.
