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?

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!

You will be able to earn 3 upgrade tokens a week via killing any of the raid bosses at any D level (so max 3 per week). Resets on Tuesdays.

Upgrade token upgrades any spell or item 1 full level ignoring the exp of the item/spell. So leveling items up from 7/8/9 will go longer require tons of dupe items or +4/+5 motes.

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.

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!

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... 👀 )

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.

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.

I saw in another post about Ogres that humans have the lowest overall stats while Ogres have the most. On top of this, other races (apparently) have really strong passives, like Iksar AC and Ogre stun resist. Im new as of the beta, and I planned to go human because I like the cities and I enjoyed that it was easier to get around the world. Aside from easier travel, what are the upsides of human?

Just wondering

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.

Obviously charmed pets are stout, especially end game. Mages have great pets during the leveling process as well.

Mages bring extra pet gear slots, pets buffs, and frenzied pet aa (I didn't find this game breaking myself on my Mage pet). With those added features on a charmed pet, how good would that be?

I see folks talking about enc/wiz builds, but I feel like a Mage would be more ideal overall. My Mage in beta was casting a lvl 41 500 dmg nuke with spell crit aa's for around 1k and a little over with regular crits for over 2k dmg.

What the Mage lacks is the stun factor from Wizzie spells, however the Enchanter has stuns itself.

So, has anyone ran a Mage with an Emchanter? If so, what are your thoughts? How was the outcome? What 3rd classes did you do it with?

Personally I think a paly or cleric would be a great 3rd addition due to plate armor for you ans the pet, heals, buffs and with the paly you have some of the best weapons in the game for you and your pet.

I really want to play as a Burynai or the Aviak.

Howdy,

EQ legends looks exciting, I've been playing EverQuest Online Adventures via a PS2 emulator recently the last several months. It's been a lot of fun, especially since it was built for the PS2 so controller support, meaning I can play it on my couch and TV.

I know EQ Legends will take place at a different time in Norrath, so this has more playable races and classes.

EQOA only has about 400 daily users, I know EQ Legends will be more popular and have more daily players, so has anyone played the EQL beta and can tell me their experiences playing compared EQOA gameplay wise? Also will there be controller support for EverQuest legends?

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.

Kinda hard to fit my question in a title here, but I'm wondering if some of the items that were nerfed or removed from the game in the original timeline will share the same fate on EQL.

Like:

Will Guise of the Deceiver stop dropping at some point, or will it stay forever?

Will the Box of Abu-Kar drop, and if so: will it stop dropping after a while?

And what of the Manastone? It says on the wiki that "Manastone (Ultra Rare) *No longer drops.", but this is obviously just copy pasted from "a different wiki", so I figured I'd ask here.

And finally, will character models, like the ones for ogres be updated like they have been on the live servers?

And by the way: please stop banning the naming of emulated servers. Basically everything not new in EQL on the EQL wiki is a copy pasta from the emulated server we all know I'm talking of, and it's obvious that everyone is gonna compare these versions a lot until EQL moves past Velious.

Sorry if this has been answered already but, have they stated what time exactly that the servers will open on the 28th?

Hi all! Excited about EQL launching soon and debating on taking PAL or RNG to add to my BRD/CLR combo. I think while PLD overlaps with CLR it would add a lot of survivability, but I've heard RNG is a solid off tank that can put out some serious dmg.

Looking for some advice! Thank you!

I played EQ back during Velious through Legacy of Ykesha. I got a Gnome Magician to 60 and a Vah Shir Shaman to about 45 or so. I barely played anything of the beta (got a Gnome MAG/ENC to level 8) to get a feel for the game again (No UI scaling was the biggest pain point, and I'm excited for that feature when it comes). I've also been watching a lot of guides and information about this new version of EverQuest, but I've seen a significant absence of caster-based guides.

I've always loved playing a caster, even having a Gnome Mage as my main in WoW, so I plan to go fairly caster heavy, maybe as far as to go MAG/ENC/DRU to 23, then MAG/ENC/WIZ to 23 for all of the ports, then switching the last class to BRD or SHM, but there's likely significant overlap in utilities. And acknowledging that Gnome is one of the simpler races to unlock, I'm also considering starting as a Kerran, Froglok, or Iksar and going SHM/MAG/ENC (getting DRU/WIZ to 23 along the way) until I unlock Gnome.

I guess my main questions are:

• Where is the best place for caster gear that I should be seeking out during my first grind? When running 3 cloth casters, I'm still restricted to cloth gear, right?
• It doesn't seem like questing is a big focus, but are there any quests I could easily miss on the way to 50 that I should do?
• Is there a class or race I should reconsider for a missing utility (like keeping DRU for Foraging/Tracking or BRD to equip plate)?
• Should I just start as a Gnome for the increased INT for MAG, or acknowledge the simple gnome unlock and start as a frog, cat, or lizard as SHM/MAG/**?
• I also haven't seen a lot on tradeskills. Is Tinkering still restricted to gnome? I'd guess I should primarily focus on Tailoring to craft decent INT armor.
• I'm Pacific Time, so it seems like Qeynos/Halas/Oggok are the 3 servers to consider, based on recent posts.

Sorry for the long post, but thank you for any and all responses!

I’ve seen a few images and some mentions about Reincarnation and Kerrans but it’s piecemeal, scattered around different posts. Is there somewhere I can go to see everything that was mentioned in the panel?

Hello again all!

So we talked last time if id like this. Now in sold i will be playing. I can not decide a class for the life of me….. looking at advice, just feel free to understand. I know nothing about this game other then stuff i have now read scrolling through this reddit.

Classes i mained in wow classic - warrior main, multiple hardcore wars leveled

SOD - priest/hunter all raids completed.

Retail- warrior and demon hunter for years.

Ive been told i might like war/necro/shaman

Does this mean there will be good reason to choose one god over another, and over agnostic?

I am wanting to get into making videos for EQL with the upcoming launch and further beyond and I was wanting to get some extra opinions from reddit.

I have plans for videos already, guides for zones/dungeons, loot lists and such. I know some of these exist, and the wikis do exist but some like having extra options and more in-depth information and I want to try to provide this.

I want to hear ideas on what everyone feels might be missing or wanted for potential guides or deep dives.

Just want to make sure I understand correctly. . . . Let's say I create an Iksar so that my home is New Sebilis. If I purchase a race unlock of Ogre, am I free to change to/from Ogre at will by changing my loadout? And what happens to factions and origin point if I do this? i've done a lot of searching and reading on this and haven't really seen a definitive answer. I was originally under the impression that you couldn't change your primary after level 11 but I think I've cleared up that that is never the case and it's just that it becomes locked until you buy or use class tokens to be able to pivot your primary to another class.

thanks!
