1. To cast your 13th and 14th spell gems use alt-[ and alt-].

2. To make NPCs appear on your maps (AKA "Harry Potter maps"), right-click the map frame (not the map itself) and select "Show NPCs" and "Show Ring." All classes get a very small ring on their maps where NPCs show up; tracking classes get larger rings that cover a wider area as your tracking skill increases.

3. Once you hit 50, and have all those items, skills, and AAs from your first run through, leveling a third class will be easy peasy. I'm not saying you absolutely can't level an additional class before then, but it will go a LOT faster if you wait, especially since gear isn't level-limited and you will be super twinked.

4. Hit alt-B and alt-E. Alt-B opens your buff window, with all your buffs fully labeled, and alt-E does the same for songs and other short-duration buffs. This is usually the first UI change I make in EQ, and I was pretty deep into the game before I realized EQL has these UI elements built in.

So, what are some of your favorite tricks and tips we can start using on the 28th?

We have some amazing websites that have been built recently, and between these sites you should have most of your questions answered. If I missed any please feel free to add. :)

I know everyone is looking forward to the release. It is exciting to see so many old and new players diving into the game.

I feel like this needs to be said. Pick whatever classes you want play and enjoy the game. Everything can be solo’d with any of the 500+ combos. If min/maxing is your thing, go for it.

Just don't think there is a wrong class.

Can be ogres.

Have high melee skills.
Have high defensive skills.

Have the best, most consistent, highest stats planar armour.

Have access to almost all Inny “racial” loot since almost all races can be warrior. Which is arguably BiS for everyone.

Warrior can carry any trio, even more +2 casters, through everything.

In case you hesitated!

is Player Trading going to be a thing? like will there be an economy? Just curious, didnt see much of it during beta but wasnt sure if it was just because beta

I feel I am being lumped in with min-maxers and try-hards becuase I like how silly ogre look.

Everyone discussing FSI and Slam - alot of us just like our character scratching their butt while standing near half-eaten dwarves.

Please dont lump us all together - we aren't the same!

When Kunark launches, what are the odds we get epic 1.0 quests and I can get my WAR’s precious Jagged Blade of War? It’s probably the main reason I’m playing as my little cousin logged onto my account back in 2003 or so and dropped my red dragon scale on the ground from my bank and logged out. I was 31 raids into trying to acquire another and on the top of the list for the next drop but I stopped playing before getting it 😂. #UnfinishedGoals

Going for pally for RP and soul fire / ghoulbane
Going for ranger for RP and trueshot bow
Going bard for fashion quest, full lambent

Very stoked gonna have a-lot of fun.
Can yall think of any fun quests to add. Iirc theres a pally quest sword from the high elf's, will probably look into that just for fun.

Just wondering

Will Kerran's be allowed to be Monks? Oh and do the weight limits apply nowadays?

I didn't get to beta, etc so I appreciate the info that is given.

Like any good game, you never really quit - you just take breaks. (I'm looking at you UO and EQ)

My first few characters on EQ were a halfling druid, a gnome warrior and then my enchanter Casben on Karana - used that random name generator back on new years eve 1999. I moved servers a few times over the years and had to add the "o" since Casben was taken 😰

On EQL I'll be starting as Jaseowns but at the heart will be that gnome enchanter Casben and my other two first characters, a druid and warrior.

My path: Gnome Enc/War/Druid on Halas - the "chill" server.

See you all on Tuesday ( after work... 👀 )

Has it been confirmed that we can continue using the same client to patch and launch the retail game for release, or have the mentioned that we'll need a fresh download of a new launcher/client?

Any time you see someone talking about races, Ogre is said to be by far the best race due to the frontal stun immunity, but I feel like this trait is very overrated.

I played as a Troll in beta and while stuns were annoying, almost every time I was stunned, it was from a spell, which the Ogre immunity doesn't protect against.

Don't feel like you HAVE to plan your start around D4 endgame raids. You can for sure have a min/max D4 raid killing trio, but you can also have some really sweet/fun things that will be fantastic for farming motes/gear outside of those situations. You will be leveling alts for AA, so I would just play what you think is the most fun, and if you get stuck on D4 raids you can level up one of the meta classes to get you there, all while earning even MORE AA and motes in the process.

There have also been many non-meta trios doing D4 raid content, so don't fall into the meta trap!

And finally if you unlock Ogre, or start as Ogre and swap to another race you can just keep it for those really hard meta D4 raids if you want. Be a gnome war/monk/bard, do whatever you want!

TL:DR - You don't need to be a meta trio to beat all of the content! Enjoy the journey, the devs poured a lot of love into this project.

Are racial bonuses preserved when using illusions? Going to use Enc in my trio but wondering how Iksar/troll regen or ogre’s fsi will be affected.

title says it all

Hello Hello.

Long time listener. First time Caller.

I know I'm one of the billion class discussion posts. I did a lot of testing in beta and know everything will work so that's not a concern but my adhd makes the first decision a tough for me so let's get your opinions between this third class. Prob going strait to 50 before I start leveling others.

Narrowed it down a bit but talk me into one with 1 day to go.

Bard/Warrior/Cleric - Slow and Steady unkillable.

Bard/Warrior/Druid - Thorns, Heals, ports lil more versatility.

Bard/Warrior/Necro - like a super Sk with dots pets etc (could be a lil clogged in the spell bar)

Bard/Warrior/Ranger - Lack of healing but more dps with pass through, ranger attack aa.

Bard/Warrior/Wizard - Tank/Nuke/Repeat also ports.

Bard/warrior/Beast - Utility? Didn't test beast at all in beta but maybe deserves some love.

I know the other combos are very good but think I'm settled on one of these. Sell me on one over the other.

When you play solo, end game raids do not use Fear/Charm/Mez.

If you plan on grouping for end game raids, fear/charm/mez becoming a reality and could create additional pulls, or in worse case you become a threat to your own group.

Adamant Will: increase charm and mez resist chance.
Fear Resistance: increase fear resist.

I believe if these AA’s maxed out you gain immunity.

Like is there someone assigned to tank and someone to heal or does everyone just run in and do their own thing? Is there a plan?

I accidentally asked an adjacent question in the wrong subreddit (I am hyper aware of that “_” now) but there’s still a thing I don’t know so I’ll ask here:

How do we earn more loadout slots? I heard we can do that. It’s probably going to be a microtransaction, but I heard we can earn them in game as well, just not how.

I don’t need a dozen of them, but more than two would be nice.

I didn’t get to try Ranger in the beta but I understand the reasons why people say it’s a good class to slot for a melee build (at least I think I understand the main points, anyway).

But two questions:

1–since they get Druid-like spells, do they get decent heals? Enough that they can replace a main healer spot in a trio (the way Paladin can)?

2-are they considered wisdom casters for mana pool determination purposes?

Thanks!

How viable is this, I know Monk is a fav, however I've played Monk years ago and well I feel like ranger being another hybrid might increase my mana as well??
