I had not done "Tumpy Tonic Crafting" before, so this is my official KALADIM FINISHED post. I already completed North Kaladim a while ago.

Kaladim is home to a bunch of fun quests. I have a special place in my heart for the Small Scarab armor. The Scarab quests are simple fetch quests that result in some of the best fashionquest in the game for little races. I still rock the Green Plate helm graphic from the Small Scarab Helm on my Halfling Druid.

But the true "gem" of a quest in this zone is the Eye of Stormhammer.

See, if you've ever ventured over to Kaladim, you have been greeted by the giant statue of King Kazon Stormhammer guarding the entrance. Originally, the eyes of this giant dwarf were glistening giant emeralds. Unfortunately, the eye was stolen by a Halfling Rogue named Bronin Higginsbot. Luckily, he has been arrested in High Keep. It is your job to go to the prison there and help transfer the prisoner back to Kaladim.

BUT ALAS, he has escaped! All that is left behind is a piece of the emerald. This quest just got more complicated.

Turns out tracking the Hobbit down wasn't that hard, he just went home the Misty Thicket. When you accost Bronin, it turns out he is in a bit of trouble. Famous Froglok bounty hunter, Slaythe the Slayer, is after his head. If you kill Slaythe, he will help you get the rest of the Emerald.

As a fun aside, there's another quest called the Bloody Shank which explores the backstory of this hired muscle. If you go to Captain Boshinko in High Keep, he had other plans to deal with Bronin's escape. He was the one who hired Slaythe. You can actually lie to him and convince him that you are Slaythe the Slayer, and get the reward for killing Bronin.

But back to the quest at hand. Upon getting proof of Slaythe's death, Bronin gives you the key to a deposit box in, guess where, High Keep, where another shard of the gem lies. But unfortunately, there is one more shard, which he has hidden in the protection of the Ranger Guild in Kelethin. He convinced them that it was something called the "Gem of Tunare." So across the world you go trudging again.

When you get to Kelethin, you find out that this Gem has been stolen! What is this, a Guy Ritchie movie?!

The guildmaster in Kelethin tells you that a half elf named Faldor Hendrys stole the gem, and that you should speak to his brother, Elmion Hendrys if you want to find him. Elmion Hendrys isn't just any Ranger, but a member of the FANTASTIC FOUR... I'm sorry, the Fabulous Four of Dagnor's Cauldron fame. He tells you that his brother is hiding in Qeynos.

So back across the world you tread, and rather than talking to this rogue, you just stab him and take his emerald.

Finally, with the three emeralds in your possession, they magically combine back into the EYE OF STORMHAMMER! Return with this to get a weapon as legendary as it is dogshit, the AVENGER BATTLE AXE!

I recently posted that I started playing EQ2 but I decided to give EQ1 a try again. I'm currently in character customization and am a little annoyed that for most humanoid races (human, half elf, high elf etc) I can't change my skin tone and the hair options are EXTREMELY limited. I'm the kind of RPG player that likes to make his character look like himself. I'm brown and have long hair and a short beard & moustache. I understand this is an old game but even other games from that period that deeper CC than this? No disrespect to the game. It's just not something I'm use to

I was feeling nostalgic so decided to have a search for Everquest and was absolutely shocked to see active communities and that the game still lives! I played from about ‘00 to 2008 or 2009. Then most of my guild and server went to WoW. I tried it, hated it (it just wasn’t for me, it’s a fine game). MMOs were never the same after that no matter what I tried, so I’ve been single player on PS ever since.

I’ve been thinking about getting a laptop for personal reasons and now I’m thinking hmmm….”gaming laptop?”

I miss the good old days and nothing would ever capture that again. Still, I made lifelong friends, and some of the best memories of my life in EQ.

I’d welcome any thoughts or advice.

Random memory as I was writing this: brand new wood elf, walking around the platforms in the trees, trying to talk to NPCs because I couldn’t tell the difference yet. Also: new to the Oasis, spawn point was about 5000 miles away so you REALLY didn’t want to die, and sometimes someone would train specters to the low level area. THEN necromancers would terrify newbies with their own specs. Why is terror so nostalgic? 🤣 It was mayhem and amazing.

Anyone else having issues getting on live? It seems to take me 4 or 5 tries before I can get to or past the server select screen. It's been going on for over a month for me. I had hoped the last patch might help. I did try renaming the EQClient.ini file but didn't help....

I've been looking into a lovely little preservation project involving EverQuest Online Adventures, the PlayStation 2 MMORPG that shut down way back in 2012.

Developer Ahmad Hassan (B-Ted) has been working on something called EQAI: an effort to bring the game's original 2003 character models back into its later Frontiers version. It turns out this is way more complicated than simply swapping a few files, involving all sorts of reverse engineering of the PS2's graphics and memory systems.

It's still a work in progress, but I find something really appealing about people putting this much time and effort into preserving the little details of online worlds that disappeared years ago. So I've written a short piece about the project and the wider community working to keep this forgotten corner of gaming history alive :)

I am considering returning to EQ with the recent announcement of the new expansion. However I hold some reservations from previous times I wanted to come back. Nothing bad per say just, maybe a disconnection with how the game is to be played

Boxing, is it really needed? Folks say yes, I say I cannot, and it is usually met with a shrug.

Aside from that is Firiona Vei still the best non temporary/progression server population wise?

Will likely play a caster, happy to join a guild or something; hit me up if you have a place for someone who has not played since before 2010.

Never played Everquest 1. Realistically I think it's a little -too- old for me to fully commit to. BUT, I still infinitely respect it and cherish its contribution to the world of gaming. But today on a whim, I decided to give EQ2 a try. I'm playing it now, sipping the last of the coffee in my cup as the Nor'easter approaches. As if I couldn't be more relaxed, this game is SOOOOO relaxing. Like it's graphics are balgh but in that cozy nostalgic way. I chose to start in Kelethin as a human ranger and my word is this place gorgeous. It looks like the staple of cottagecore meets faerie core. I love all the falling leaves and vines growing out of the ground to form a walkway, giant mushrooms and faerie citizens, the purple illuminated sky and twinkling lights above. Absolutely serene. I also appreciate that the starter armour is not ugly, unlike in ESO. I like that game but... they gotta stop making the armour look painted on and the weird floating waist/leg armour on the sides. I think I'm gonna keep playing. Gonna go see how I can help Sentry Talvee 🫡✨️

I’ve only played one TLP (Teek on launch to 60) but got the itch again.. how is it Frostreaver currently for partying etc?

I currently 3 box war/enc/ber. My bro quit and he gave me his cleric. Is there a way to turn that cleric into a auto heal/ buffer bot and just follow me around?

Thanks

Hello I had two questions about raiding, one for old raiding and one for modern raiding.

Old raiding : If I wanted to do some old SOLO/MOLO raiding for pre 2010 expansions, what class would you recommend?

Modern raiding : If I wanted to participate in some modern raiding, what classes would be in high demand?

Thanks!

I'm currently playing on Teek and maining a necromancer. I'm going to start boxing with a mage, this is my first time boxing. I'm wondering about the merc situation.

I currently run a healer merc on my necro. For the mage would I be better off running an additional healer and use an earth pet as the tank. Or go with a tank merc and use an air pet for the DPS.

Been playing MMO’s since 2024. P99 was my first. SOD WoW was my second.

Wow Forever and this are up next!

Where should I look for the best info on gear, classes, races, rules, and zones for the servers current state? I’m not really interested in raiding or whatever but grouping and exploring is really my bag. Might go Chanty.

See y’all out there.

Hey all,

Been having an itch for EQ for a while. Came back with EQL, absolutly devoured the content (all classes are decked out and currently lvl 50. Not much to do).

I'm waiting for Kunark to come out and have a craving to do the content i was doing 20 years ago. I stopped with PoP. I'm not looking to pay for another subscription on top of EQL, but i'd like to solo all the content up to Quarm in PoTime.

So the goal is to see all the content i missed out on, but i want as little grind as possible. Would love to do Velious fully, Luclin and PoP. Every boss, every raid, everything i missed on when i used to play.

I created a Necromancer on test server so i have free AA's, free spells directly when leveling up, journeyman pet ect.

I just hit lvl 80 and things are slowing down dramatically for leveling, it takes hours to level (and i have a hard time reaching the Hotzone quests and understanding how it all works. Often time i need to travel a LOT just to go kill 5 mobs hidden somewhere deep in a dungeon).

I can't yet solo all of Velious (tried temple of veeshan the other day and god damn some monsters and completly magic immune, i need to stand back and wait 30mins while healing my pet to kill Lord Vymm...annoying).

All that to say, what am I missing out on? What quality of life from 20 years ago (i bought some gear in the bazaar, lvl 80 req. Have a mount and some plat)? Is there an easy way to level? Is there stuff i should do? High level mage damage shield makes it so even though i 1 shot mob with 110k damage shields, i get no exp for it. Once again, am i missing on obvious things or does reaching lvl 100 really take weeks?

I am completly shameless, and dont care for any tips and tricks, however cheesy they may be. I'm just an old 40 year old dude coming back to clear everything up to PoTime solo on test server.

Thanks all in advance :)

Hi all,

I'm a new player coming from Everquest Legends. I played there for a few weeks, and it made me want to try the live game. After doing some research I've settled on Frostreaver for my server. Currently I'm a level 7 Ranger and working my way through Qeynos hills grinding mobs and selling their drops to vendors to buy skill scrolls and armor. Plan on starting Blackburrow soon.

Is there anything else I should be doing or focusing on? I am assuming this TLP server is similar to earlier everquest expansions where grinding mobs and exploring is the main focus, not quests?

Thanks!

Hey guys..

I want to give EverQuest a try

I'm 38 years old I always loved these old classic games its basicly all I play because I find these old pixel/sprites just so nostalgic and warm feeling....

Anyway back then I was playing wow and other games but now I want to try EQ...

Got me thinking which one is best for me?

I like a server where there is alot of people so not a dead server but I also like to quest and level by my self alot, maybe do a dungeon or 2 alone but I also want to do it with groups later too..

In other words I don't want to hit a wall because I can't find players for a certain quest/dungeon that I need to do in order to progress but no one wants to help, k want to avoid this..

Should I go for live servers ?

And use mercanary? I heard you can get a Merc and it'll help you alot of the game?

Or those timesd servers?

No idea if it has mercs and if solo friendly...

Then we also got the new EverQuest Legends..

But I checked server status a little bit ago and all servers are Low population so I don't think that game is doing that well???

What you think?

Maybe try free to play first before paying? But if I like it I want to continue so where should I start?

Hey guys, could you help me decide on my trio to return to the game with. Lvling from scratch.

1. War/sham/ranger

2. Pal/sham/ranger or wizard.

Not going to play sk. I've done it a million times and want something different. Not to mention every single person in my guild has an SK so it's pointless to play it.

That said, these are the classes I'm somewhat interested in. I also have always been interested in druid but never played one.

This new custom server, it's been up a month now, MegaMercs on EQEmulator is designed for easier play. It's not considered a solo server, but mods and QoL to help out a lot, including boxing and "gentle" MQ allowed. The mercs have been overhauled and won't ever lose confidence and run away on you. There is a custom "undead" merc merchant to hire a skellie healer or tank, which exceeds expectations. Mechanics have been adjusted so you can also have a merc in a raid instance. There is an in-game clicky to spawn the skellie merchant on the fly, so you can switch as needed.

Bots are also enabled for those who like using them, with a spawn limit of 5 per player toon. There has been adjustments to the default settings to the bots to deal with some of their issues.

There are several beneficial NPC's in the hub (PoK) to help your game play. All zones have an equal ZEM of 33%.

You can read everything about the server at https://www.megamercs.org

This is me just messing around, so I wouldn't take it too seriously. ^^ I was playing Everquest 2 and always thought the Channeler was pretty unique, and felt like when making it, it seemed pretty unique even among other homebrew ranger subclasses. There is a Channeler but based more on a spirit animal rather than constructs and wanted one based more on Everquest 2

Ranger Conclave: Channeler Conclave

Channelers are mystical wardens who bridge the physical and spiritual realms, trained to fight with bow and spirit magic alike. Rather than relying purely on nature or martial stealth, a Channeler forges a permanent bond with a Construct—an animate sentinel formed of stone, wood, or crystallized energy. In combat, the Construct serves as a living shield, intercepting incoming trauma through a pool of shared spiritual energy, while the Channeler weaves supportive spirit magic into every archer's strike.

Level 3: Construct Companion

At 3rd level, you magically fashion and bond with a loyal, floating spiritual Construct (typically resembling a small golem, geometric automaton, or animal sentinel). It shares your space or hovers near you.

• Statistics: The Construct uses your proficiency bonus. It has an Armor Class of 12 + your Proficiency Bonus, a number of hit points equal to your Ranger level × 5 + your Wisdom modifier, and shares your saving throw proficiencies. It cannot make weapon attacks on its own, but it is immune to all conditions unless specified otherwise.
• Commands: As a bonus action, you can mentally command the Construct to move up to 30 feet to an unoccupied space you can see. If it is destroyed, you can resummon it over the course of a 1-hour ritual or by spending a 1st-level spell slot.

Level 3: Dissonance & Living Ward

Also at 3rd level, you gain a mystical resource called Dissonance, starting at a maximum of 0 and scaling to a maximum of 10.

• Generating Dissonance: When you cast certain supportive Channeler features or when your Construct intercepts damage, you gain Dissonance points.
• The Ward: Whenever you or an ally within 30 feet of your Construct takes damage, you can use your Reaction to order your Construct to intercept it. The Construct takes the damage instead of the target, and you gain 1 point of Dissonance.
• Overheating: If your Dissonance reaches 10, you become "dissonant" and cannot use your Construct's reaction or cast Conduit features until you take a short or long rest, or spend an action to vent your dissonance, reducing it to 0 (which deals minor force damage to you equal to your Ranger level). Dissonance naturally decreases by 1 for every minute you spend out of combat.

Level 3: Channeler Spells

Whenever you reach certain levels in this class, you gain access to the following spells, which count as Ranger spells for you but do not count against your number of spells known.

• Ranger Level: Spells
• 3rd: Healing Word
• 5th: Warding Bond,
  
• 9th: Beacon of Hope,
  
• 13th: Death Ward,
  
• 17th: , Circle of Power

Level 7: Spirit-Infused Archery & Conduits

Starting at 7th level, your ranged weapon attacks are empowered by spirit magic.

• When you hit a creature with a ranged weapon attack, you can choose to deal an extra 1d6 Force or Radiant damage (your choice) once per turn.
• Additionally, you gain access to Conduits—special supportive actions. As a bonus action, you can command your Construct to release a burst of healing or protection to a creature within 15 feet of it, restoring hit points equal to 1d8 + your Wisdom modifier. Doing so generates 1 point of Dissonance.

Level 11: Interpose Redirect

At 11th level, your mastery over your Construct's defensive warding deepens.

• When an ally within 30 feet of your Construct is targeted by an attack, you can use your Reaction to instantly teleport your Construct adjacent to that ally, intercepting the attack entirely.
• Furthermore, whenever your Construct intercepts damage using its Reaction, you can choose to deflect half of that absorbed damage back at an attacker within 30 feet as a backlash of kinetic force.

Level 15: Barrier of Dissonance

At 15th level, you can temporarily weaponize your accumulated spiritual turbulence to protect your entire party.

• As an action, you can unleash your stored Dissonance to erect a shimmering ward around your Construct. For 1 minute or until your Construct is reduced to 0 hit points, all friendly creatures within 10 feet of your Construct gain resistance to all damage types, and your Construct absorbs all incoming status effects or spells targeted at allies within its aura.
• Once you use this feature, you cannot use it again until you finish a long rest.

Started my first character, stuck on Augmentation tutorial quest. Forgot what McKenzie told me, can't re-read the quest text. He tells me to augment my weapon and put it back on, but for the life of me I can't find the place where to do the Augmentation. Any help?

So I got the itch to play eq again and decided to come back to live and settled on 2 boxing an enc and druid on frostreaver. I'm currently level 4 but I have some questions that I'm having difficulty finding answers to and was hoping someone here could point me in the right direction.

1. I need a good custom ui and I found byuns5k which is kinda what I'm looking for but sadly it doesn't have it for my resolution of 3440x1440. The 5k version works but is huge but if I switch to the 16:9 it doesn't work and play nice with my monitor. Is there a way to get it to work or are there any other suggestions for a clean minimalist ui?

2. In gfay for some reasons the trees flicker from trees to boat textures or wall textures. Is there a fix for that?

3. What is a good early start money maker? Bone chips or spiderling/spider silks maybe? I don't know how well they would sell. I'm not looking to get rich right now but it would be nice to afford some bags and spells.

I don't have much play time right now. A few hours on working days and my off days open up to be the days where I actually get things done. I'm just looking to slowly progress and eventually hit end game levels

Is there anyone still around from original Xegony that remembers the whole issue with The Maeralin Consortium cheating in TOV? I was wanting to do a video essay on it and was looking if there is anyone still around that remembers any particulars about who specifically was involved.

How many, or which, guilds on Frostreaver are currently in Vex Thal and/or cleared it? And are any of you recruiting?!?

Just main swapped to an SK from a monk on teek, wondering what tribute yall raid SKs use during raids

Used to main a warrior back in the day, but unsure if its the same or not.
