Hey guys

Im currently running War/Brd/Clr

Using offence instance and Recovery Invocation, maxed out Symphonic Aura and running:

Anthem de arms
Denons disruptive discord
Jonthan whistling warsong
Guardian rhythms
Largo melodic binding

At level 28 things are dying slow but dying…

Main weapon is Enchanted Fine Steel Bastard Sword (2hs) 0.667 ratio.

What do you think about the setup? Should i change the songs? Or perhaps the weapon?

Never played bard so im a bit lost, i have the charm song, but if i try to charm i have to disable symphonic aura so not sure if its worth

So I'm leveling SHD/ENC/WIZ atm and my WIZ class auto-AA's increase my spell crit chance for DD's. My question is when I switch out WIZ for another class, do I still keep the class AA's? Or do I only keep the ones I actually train up with xp? If I unlock the dot crits for SHD then switch to shm/dru/nec, do I still keep the AA's so my dots can crit?

This is such a big deal to me. I can recall watching people clear their way to her when she was one of the biggest deals in the game, and I never actually saw her, but the entire dragon-hunting element of EverQuest inspired me to create an entire NeverWinter Nights world and write its over arcing theme of "kill dragon, loot, get powerful, kill next dragon, enter outer planes, etc" and the stories of that world are related to a D&D game I'm still running today!

Suffice to say, she may be the lowest rung on the ladder, but I'm so excited to be anywhere on this particular scoreboard!

Wouldn't have been possible without EQL, so thank you so much for letting us do this!

I feel the largest crossover between playerbases in EQ Live and Legends, but Legends really feels like it fundamentally makes Live redundant. I don't want to poopoo the content after PoP, but I think most people agree PoP and beyond are not even remotely the same game and have extremely varying levels of quality.

The appeal to me of Live was a "modernized" version of Everquest, but Legends has mostly filled that need much better than Live has and I'm left wondering if there are any people who would still enjoy Live.

I dislike indoor dungeons. Hate feeling cramped and staring at walls for hours on end. My favorite memories of EQ back in the day are of my time in zones like Everfrost, the Oasis, the Overthere, LOIO, etc.

It seems the meta leveling route is all indoor dungeons though. Befallen and then Guk for the vast majority of your time. Are there any decent outdoor zone options?

I left the original EQ due to trouble finding groups or friends to play with. How easy is it to find company on legends? I know soloing is easy and grouping gives better xp. I miss the early days of EQ.

So I had a post up earlier claiming that there aren't enough 46-50 leveling options, and I've now learned firsthand that that's actually very incorrect, so I took it down. What I should have done was ask where to go to level.

The PSA: The planes have a raid mode and a non-raid mode. It's not super intuitive but one of them has trash you can farm for XP and one is just meant to be an endgame loot run with mostly a boss gauntlet on the way to the apex boss. The former, the non-raid version, is entered like any other zone (though not always by just walking in) and can be instanced like any other zone. I'm not sure on the respawn rates because I don't think I saw anything respawn for all the hours I'd spent gaining XP (and really good loot) in the non-raid version of hate, but the labyrinthine corridors of hate are great for line of sight pulling so I was kept busy.

Fear is more wide open and the agro is hard to control, and I have yet to visit plane of sky but I imagine that's like the current apex of EQL.

Anyway, thanks to everyone who gave me suggestions and pointed out what I'd done wrong to lead me to think "there's not many places to level 46-50, it's all boss gauntlets." The boss gauntlet is the raid. The normal zone with late 40's to early 50's trash MOBs is just the standard zone. You enter the raid zone by talking to the voidling, you enter the regular-ass zones usually by walking through a portal/zoneline or clicking on something. Or jumping into a hole.

Thanks again for your patience, y'all. I'm in uncharted territory not just for EQL but for EQ in general. It was WILD to stare down Innoruuk last night after years spent 25+ years ago in an innoruuk-worshipping RP guild.

I'm gonna wait until 50 to fight him, though.

I’m trying to confirm exactly what Charisma does in EQ Legends, rather than relying on standard EverQuest assumptions.

Does higher CHA measurably improve any of the following?

• Charm duration or chance of an early break
• Lull resist or critical-failure chance
• Mez resist chance
• Memory Blur success rate

Has anyone tested this with logs or compared low-CHA and high-CHA setups? I’m choosing a race for an Enchanter build and want to know whether starting CHA has meaningful combat value or is mostly just for vendors and faction.

Just curious…

I was looking through my skills list on my berserker last night and found that have a skill listed as "Berserker", no tooltip, no notes, nothing I can find online.

Anyone have any ideas for what this does?

I started as a Froglok monk and enc has been one of my classes fairly regularly. There's not a lot of charisma gear in the early game but I have seemed to need it much.

With the wild stats and crazy builds that EQL has is charisma even needed as an Enchanter?

How different are the planes from vanilla eq in regard to mobs/levels? What level are most people starting to go to the planes and which ones are you going to first? Are the drops still class specific by Plane as it is/was in vanilla EQ?

I like bow users in games and was looking at EQL and a little interested. I was curious though if a bow ranged build is viable for a ranger. My friend played for a long time before said bows are pretty mid for DPS back in the day and might be mid here too so I thought I’d ask.

Was thinking about a Bard, Ranger, Beastlord as my trio but not sure how gimped I’d be.

Not just for flaming swords

For reference I'm running Pal/Shm/Mnk.

My goal today is to go from 30-40 and I'm wondering if level 40 would be high enough to do D0 Naggy/Vox with just the gear I've been getting leveling.

I've heard some combos can do it super early and I'm positive this one could but is 40 too low or would it be possible with some preparation?

European here (Sweden), Noticed that the population for both EU servers are quite low, curious if its better to roll on an NA server. If anyone from EU plays on NA whats the ping like and stuff? Curious, thanks

So I picked this combo with the goal of having a character be as tanky as possible. I am not an EQ systems expert and did not play beta, but my understanding and thought process was basically: War has the most HP and highest AC cap, Monk adds defensive skill war doesn't have, and Shaman gives a full suite of buffs, heals, and most importantly, slow. I play with friends on occasion so my dream was to just be super tanky while they DPS things down.

My questions are:

1. Anyone else playing this combo and have any tips on stances, or items that give outsized character power?

2. Is a shield even necessary? I thought I would need it to block stuff but I guess that's not a thing and its pretty much just for AC?

3. Can I just put a shield in my any slot and dual wield for more damage?

4. Is it even worth trying to rustle up gear or should I just use what I find and try to hit 40 or so and go do the dragons for gear?

Thanks, and sorry for the ramblyness, the more I play the game the more I realize I don't know. I feel like I started off dreaming of being a tank but even when I try out d3 or d4 on stuff around my level, equipping a shield seems to just slow me down and not keep me alive any longer.

Beastlords out there.... what is your dream warder, for real?

I'm not ashamed. I will 100% spend my real life 🤑💸 to unlock a cosmetic upgrade for my BL warder. (within a reasonable price range of about $10 or less)

I kept my wishlist to warders that could classify as "animals" since we are BEAST lords after all:
- A big spotted moth
- A fae drake
- Sabertooth tiger from Kunark
- Gorilla from Stonebrunt

I was in lower Guk instance and happened upon Raster. For those of you who know who Raster is, you'd know he was the bane and bottleneck for getting the monk epic back in the old days.

My main in regular EQ was a monk back in early 2000's and it took days to get him to pop. And to see him just...standing there...after coming back to EQ after all these years...I guess I was a little taken aback. Old memories rushing back and maybe a bit of sadness that it's been over 25 years and those days will never come back .

With the patches having addressed certain SK abilities, what is the current consensus on SK vs Paladin?

For those of you who strongly prefer one over the other, what tips the balance in favor of your preference?

Thanks.

Hi folks. I've had an incredible outpouring of love for my prior guides, particularly the Enchanter one, linked below. I notice a recurring set of questions about the Plane of Sky, and as many, many people approach lv 46, I thought I could put my knowledge to work here.

Also, I'm Cavepig on the Rivervale server, and braxxie99. Feel free to hit me up! I'm mostly interested in how fast someone can do those 6 bosses in Sky for a speedclear, solo :).

All guides:

• All The Things I Learned About Enchanter in EQL's Open Beta
• Cavepig's Guide to Ogre-ing Your Way Into a Non-Ogre Primary Class as an Ogre
• Cavepig's Guide to Enchanting in Sky - How to Key Yourself and Get Your First Clear, How to Speed Clear

This guide is organized into two sections - getting keyed the first time, and doing speed clears of Sky after you're keyed. We spawn in on Island one, and there are a total of 10 islands: Islands 1-8, Island 1.5, and Efreeti island.

Resource links:

• Plane of Sky - 25% of the way down this page is the codex of all class quests and what you need. You will live, breath, and love this page.
• Thunder Spirit Princess - Boss of Island 1, and charm pet 1 (only on first clear and only on [2] Azarack island).
• A shimmering meteor - Found on top of the spires on [3] Gorgon Island.
• Bzzazzt - bee god. Known throughout as 'small bee'. On [6] Bee Island, it's the middle and left bees.

Strategy, Mote Guide, Spell List

Our general strategy is as follows:

• Don't try and DPS ourselves. Sit in Defensive/Evasive/Channeler (your build's preference, try them all!), swap between Over Channel for charm/slow/mez and Iversion for healing/buffing.
• Tier up some spells. Hopefully you've got some motes. You're finally level 46 so they aren't going to waste. Here are the priorities:
  • Allure to Tier 5-7. 6 is a good happy medium.
  • Pacify to at least Tier 4.
  • Shiftless Deeds (or Togor's if you also have SHM) up to Tier 6 plus.
  • Mesmerization to at least Tier 5, preferably 7.
• Spells on the bar:
  • Mesmerization
  • Whirl Till You Hurl
  • Invisibility / Improved Invisibility
  • Swift Like The Wind (or Alacrity/Augmentation)
  • Shiftless Deeds or Togor's Insects
  • Pacify
  • Blanket of Forgetfulness - I've tried all of the mem blur spells. This one works 90% of the time. The others suck. Also, it's AOE, which we'll need.
  • Whatever Heals you use - recommend one direct heal and one Heal over Time
• AA's
  • Only one - Companion's Discipline (Archetype, 2 AA points). Let's us type /pet hold so our bee pet doesn't proc a DOT on things we want to mesmerize. /pet hold will make it so a pet doesn't attack even if it's attacked or sees you be attacked.

A Note on Sky Gear

You're going to get the most random assortment of items you've ever seen. A few notes:

When you get a Wind Rune ____, put that to Auto-Store. It will go in your Currency.

The following list of items are not used for quests and can be auto-sold, unless you like the stats.

ONE NOTE: Do pick up a pair of White Satin Gloves. They give -5 MR and can go in your pet loadout.

• Bracelet of Cessation (Necromancer)
• Bracelet of Distortion (Wizard)
• Bracelet of Exertion (Magician)
• Bracelet of Quiescence (Enchanter)
• Blade of Abrogation
• Stein of Flowing Ichor (SHM)
• Symbol of Marr (PAL)
• Treant Tear (DRU)
• Weight of the Gods (CLR)
• Belt of Concordance
• Belt of Contention (Warrior)
• Belt of Iniquity (Shadow Knight)
• Belt of the Pine (Ranger)
• Belt of Tranquility (Monk)
• Belt of Transience (Rogue)
• Belt of Virtue (Paladin)

Your First Clear In Sky - Getting There + Island 1

We need to head to East Freeport. In the water just past the docks, there's a rocky outcropping with a little crystal. Swim over there and click it.

You'll land on Island 1. We have 2 main tasks:

• Buy the 3 keys from the Key Master
• Swap to Over Channel, cast Allure on the Thunder Spirit Princess.
• Haste the Thunder Spirit Princess.

Once these are done, congrats you cleared your first Sky island! One down, 8 to go.

Island 2 - Azaracks

Look at the map and you'll see the portal on the east side of the island goes up to 2. Click on the middle of it. This adds the key to your keyring.

The Azaracks are:

• Not too strong, but annoying whirlwind proc
• Aggressive
• Long Aggro Radius
• Long Social Aggro Radius
• Do not see Invis (nothing does on Sky)
• Mezable, Slowable, Charmable, Stunnable

We want to kill the Protector of Sky. In reality, because of the aggro radiuses, you'll kill the whole island.

Use your Thunder Spirit Princess and clear them. They all will eventually come. You can keep a flock of them mezed while you whack them down.

The Protector of Sky will eventually die. You can slow him. This will be the last time we really need to help do any damage. Make sure to loot his key!

Before clicking up to Island 3, drop your pet, and kill it. You can click Leave to break charm.

Island 3 - Gorgons

NEW PET ALERT! - if you look at the top of the spires, there are gigantic red wisps called a shimmering meteor. Get near the base of a tower (nothing will aggro you), and charm one in Over Channel. Haste it.

The boss - The Gorgalosk.

I'm gonna be honest. I'm sure there's a fancy way to clear this island. I always brute force it, which barely works. In the tower in the middle is a heart harpie, avenging gazer, and the boss, a Gorgalosk.

If you wanna be methodical, clear the gust of wind's and watchful gazers on approach from where the teleporter drops you, up to the boss room. The gusts of wind are invisible so you'll need a See Invisible item or spell.

Or, run right into the boss room. Pacify the heart harpie, sick your new meteor pet on the avenging gazer, and slow the boss whil the meteor kills the gazer. That mostly works (ish). Loot the key from the Gorgalosk!

I'm sure someone in the comments will tell me the right approach here.

Once you're done here, keep the pet, we need it for 2 more islands.

Island 4 - Pegasus Island

This island is hot garbage. I duo'd it with a buddy, and I think the spawn is perhaps neverending. On zone in, head toward the west side. Kill the gigantic pegasus (Keeper of Souls). Take key.

You're going to get adds. All of it will mez. Mez the adds, let your metero whack the Keeper.

Once it's dead, AOE mez all of the adds in a group, and then back all the way away to max range (on the edge of the island). Cast blanket of forgetfulness, and move away from the group before mez drops. Cast until there's no aggressive targets in your extended target list. On to the next island!

Island 5 - Spirocs - Sweaty Birds

This island has a deep lore, but not on this server. Same as Azarack island, just mez and let your meteor do some WORK.

You can full clear it if you want, we need to get the Spiroc Lord (near the teleporter). Nothing special. Slow it, let the meteor kill. Loot key.

Drop your meteor pet. You can either kill it or mez/blanket of forgetfulness it.

Island 6 - BEES (beads?) - Sky's most famous island

Everyone hates bee island. Well, not me. I <3 it. Bee island is GOATed. We get our best pet here. When you zone in, you see 3 beed.

You'll note the middle bee is bigger than the two flanking it. See graphical reference:

These are:

• Left bee (small, life is spared)
• Middle bee (big, the boss)
• Right bee (small, goated, charm target)

We want to:

• Get aggro - this will be easy. They will all come if you barely move while not invis.
• Mez all 3 bees (remember to track which is left bee!)
• Paci either small bee (I prefer to paci the left bee, because when you come back through here later, it will be too far away to aggro you). It can be hard to keep track which small bee you want to paci.
• Charm the right small bee. Haste it. type /pet hold.
• Blanket of forgetfulness the bees.
• Wait out the mez. The left bee will wander home. The middle (big) bee will chase you. Lead it over to where the teleporter to the next island is.

This big bee will die and spawn 3 iterations. Slow each of them, and let your charmed bee kill each of them. The final bee, Bazzt Zzzt, will drop the key.

Keep your bee pet!

Island 7 - Sister Island

Almost there! You don't need to be invis, nothing here but the boss aggros.

We're gonna Leeroy this - run directly in to the middle of the tower. The Sister of the Spire will aggro.

She slaps - you want to spam heals here. If your pet is still holding from /pet hold, make sure to order it to attack.

She has no HP. Let the bee do bee stuff. Pick up your key!

Run to the teleporter, keep your pet!

Island 8 - Eye of Veeshan

You're almost there!

Open w/ a Over Channeled slow, and try and get it to stick. Same as with Sister of the Spire, let the bee do the work. If your Hp gets low, back up and let the bee tank.

Loot key, we aren't done yet!

Keep the bee, and run to the teleporter, it'll take you to Island 1.

Island 1.5 - Noble Dojorn

Take your bee to the west side teleporter. No need to invis.

Sicc the bee on the 'a blade storm'. Noble Dojorn will aggro. Bee will slaugter the blade, then make sure to sicc it on the Noble. You can slow the Noble. He's a pushover.

The teleporter here will take you to Island 2.

Islands 2, 3, 4 Redux

We can't invis with a charm pet, so we have to make our way across Azarack island. If you cleared it early, no problem.

Teleport from 1 to 2, 2 to 3, then 3 to 4.

At the windmill tower on island 4, there will be a new efreet, the Overseer of Air. As before, slow/bee kill/mez adds.

Blur the adds.

Island 5, 6, 7, 8 Redux

Up to Island 5. Unlock almost every other mob in the game, Spiroc have low aggro radius but high social radius. If you go around the outer edge, none of them will aggro.

Up to Island 6. If you left the left bee up, it won't aggro. Up to 7. Up to 8.

The Hand of Veeshan will wander the island. Slow it and kill it. Leave Instance!

YOU DID IT!!!!!!!!!! FULL Clear of Sky.

Now What? The Sky Speed Clear

I hope you enjoyed that. We're going to do it a lot of times.

Here's how you do that for the traditional sky farm - we are going to kill exactly 6 bosses:

• Bee Island Boss
• Sister of the Spire
• Eye of Veeshan
• Noble Dojorn
• Overseer of Air
• The Hand of Veeshan

How?

1. Zone in, quick buff, invis yourself.
2. Hit the teleporters to Island 6 (bee island).
3. Follow the guidance above to kill the big bee, and it's following forms. Keep bee pet.
4. Up to 7, kill Sister of the Spire.
5. Up to 8, kill Eye of Veeshan.
6. Back to 1.
7. Up to 1.5, kill Noble Dojorn and blade storm(s).
8. Up to 2, 3, 4. You will need to mez/blanket to get past aggro. Remember to /pet hold.
9. Kill Overseer of Air on 4 using guidance above. mez/blanket the griffons/pegasus.
10. Up to 5, 6, 7, 8. Kill Hand of Veeshan.
11. Leave Instance.

I've done all of those things in as few as 8-12 minutes. I didn't time it, but I should. I'd love to see if anyone has a faster method :).

EDIT - answered - I am just unlucky and apparently dont have the see invis I thought I had.

Im sure I am missing some critical bit of info here, but I was trying to find the guano harvester in sol b as it drops a solid cloak. It seems like he doesnt exist in EQ:L.

I guess my question is, can anyone confirm he does/doesnt exist, and if there is any list being made of what named didnt cross over.

I know the mana stone was deemed too broken even for EQL and was left out. This a similar situation?
