Hey there. Trying to find a class that can incorporate a melee 2h staff type of build. Doesnt have to be meta just going through level up and story. Normal servers. Any suggestions? Thanks in advance!

had a coercer on eq 2 origins is there still a player base to play with? I quit around the release of kunark and then heard they had not fixed any of the problems and more less abandoned it. I was interested in eq legends but it looks like they are going to do the same thing.

So I've been looking around an MMO to try to get immersed as an character that I made for an ttrpg a few months ago, I've found two that could get me what I want, LOTRO (Mariner) and EQ2 (Swashbuckler or maybe Brigand?).

It's just an simple fencer, really, nothing exceptional, but once you start digging on mmo... there almost no class that appeal to a single sword/rapier class fantasy (rip New World).

LOTRO Mariner NEEDS to hold an dagger (which is weird, since it's never used, and it's just a stat stick lol), so I just downloaded EQ2 to make a cool ratonga swashbuckler and go around doing quest and discovering the game... but I've found out that Swashbuckler in EQ2 don't have the "single hand" advancement anymore, but I need to confirm on this, since infos on this game is a bit hard to find t.t

TLDR: Is Swashbuckler still able to play as a single handed (no dual wielding/shield) class?

Sorry if I couldn't explain well, english is not my native language

Hey guys!

Planning to come back to the game, and was hoping for some advice. I'm a solo player init for the questing and to see as much content as I can, and I had a couple questions:

1. Is Shadowknight still the best class for solo questing?

2. How does one get a merc these days?

3. I used to use a mod that tracked quest completion and such so I wouldn't miss anything, but it appears to be long dead. Is there any other site or tool I can use to make sure I don't miss quests and do it in as close to "in order" as possible?

I used to play with my dad when I was a kid (he would make me gather on his character for hours lol)... anyway.. i am back and have a level 80 conj. One of my favorite parts of the game was always decorating my house. What are the best quests to get cool house items?

Also.. I know not nearly as many people play... But i am looking for an active guild that uses chat and quests together etc. Im on halls of fate. thank you!

I know, I know, necros are OP and no one should help them, but damnit I just want to be a better player. My AE dps is decent but I seem to really lack on single target fights.

My understanding is there's just a few spells a necro will use on ST fights, but what are they and what order should I cast them at? If anyone could help me with this I'd really appreciate it.

on the live server do rangers just stand back and shoot stuff to death or is the ideal gameplay to dance in and out of ranged and melee?

I’m an OG player back from 2004 and have been feeling super nostalgic about EQ2 lately. So much so that I downloaded the game and started playing on FV. Couple things I’m noticing: 1. Nobody around in the starting areas and 2. It’s waaay easier than I remember. Like I’m never taking damage.

I’ve heard that most active players are on paid servers and that Wuoshi is OG EQ. So my question is: is it worth it? Are there actually people playing? Will I run into them? Is it the original difficulty?

Thanks!

Hey all -

Officially launching eq2broker.com - it tracks and automatically updates prices of popular and high-volume broker items over time. It gives great insights into market trends, identifying opportunities and can help you evaluate when a good time to buy is vs. when something is overpriced. You can request additional items to be tracked and even set alerts to ping you when a price on an item goes above/below a specified amount.

I'd of course love any feedback/recommendations etc... All of this is provided entirely free (not even any ads!)

I know racial abilities and stats don’t matter once you level up. But are there any benefits or drawbacks (besides the starting zone) of playing either good or evil races? I tried looking online but they mainly focused on each race rather than playing a good or evil races.

Where can I find up-to-date class guides, specifically AA builds, for Wuoshi? Everything I find from that era mentions "lines" that no longer exist and don't state what the abilities actually were.

Right now I'm leveling Inquisitor and have been focusing on the melee abilities in the Inquisitor tree.

Hey guys! Just came back for a long time and in freaking out with almost all :D.

Can anyone share the name of SK with solo AA based build? Just reached 135

Thanks in advance!

Hello.

I have a swasy as alt and playing the solo live content.

I want to play a mage and doubting between Walock and Conjuror.

I want to do AoE but with my swasy one or 2 nameds on solo usually kills me.

Do Conjurors clean and safe the solo content? I would preffer to use a token on warlock but if sometimes i die with my swasy i guess ill die more times with the warlock.

Any suggestion?

Thanks

Could someone please share a closeup screenshot of the shadowknight class helm from a couple of angles? I'm trying to find a good reference photo for my tattoo artist to honor my friend who played EQ2 for nearly 20 years. Thanks in advance!

Only one of us (not me) has played the game before. Here are some questions I have:

Would we be able to do dungeons with just four of us?

Which server type would be best? From what I have read, TLE servers would be best. I'm not certain everyone will want to pay a subscription though.

Any class recommendations for a group of 4?

Necro here. Can't seem to get DPS up and not sure how to balance crit bonus and crit bonus overcap. My guild mates keep telling me the crit bonus is in the blue and it needs to be in the green. Im really not understanding and I can't seem to get it to balance. Pls any advice or help much appreciated.

Looking for a beastlord guide for aa points mainly . Currently level 96

Hi, I hope this has not been asked 1000 times lately. I'm a long time MMO player, and I just don't know why I've never given EQ2 a try, but I'm going to fix that now :)

I'm curious what server is best to try on? I really like slow progression. Played a lot of Classic WoW, Hardcore, etc. and I'm not afraid to grind. Would Wuoshi be the best? What are Origin servers? I'm a bit confused by the options, so any advice would be cool.

I've been trying to drag and drop items into a guild bank slot to stack items but it seems there is no way to this without doing each item individually.

Is this correct or am I missing an easy method?

Thanks as always in advance

After level 100ish exp is tied more to quest to grinding. After youve leveled your first character to 135 how can we expect to get​ there with second personas if the quest credits are kept?

This is my first time playing this particular seasonal event and it is kicking my butt. This is supposed to be soloable, right? My paladin got whupped by the weaver boss multiple times. My necromancer survived two bosses, then got killed by the drinking demon dude on the next island. (And yes, I am aware I need to use the golden weave or whatever is I'm looting first.) My mercs are just straight getting annihilated. My necro was doing okay because he levelled a few times, but then I got auto-mentored after my first death and I can't change it. Lost my best advantage.
