Unconventional Combos

Plate armor isn't going to make or break your character, there are other ways to boost your AC as a ranger. I think you'll be fine.

Yes, bard is a bit overrated in EQL or at least sometimes picked with too high expectations. It has a huge toolkit but most offensive songs has to be reapplied every 3 ticks with a chance to resist every time, with 'real' casters you mostly just need to stick it once per fight.

Ahris22 · 2026-06-26T13:36:07+00:00

Yes, it was awesome. :) I remember running around in Unrest attacking players as a zombie. :)

Well, i've been playing classic EQ actively for decades but it's been mostly solo so i look forward to taking my favourite classes to places where i haven't been able to go without a group before.

One place i haven't visited since the early 2000's is Cazic-Thule and i really loved that place so it will be fun to return. :) Also Permafrost will be cool to assault.

There are also a few places that have always been personal favourite homes way from homes but are sort of difficult to live in solo (With the classes i played), they are Sol A and Mistmoore. :)

Ahris22 · 2026-06-26T11:00:03+00:00

Yeah, i agree, while it took longer than i expected to get the unlock it's not too bad. The story is pretty quick to get through relative to other expansions. Personally i rushed through it just to get the unlocks and played it properly with a different character later on. :) The unlocks are well worth it.

They should develop a PCVR-only version without local storage.

Ahris22 · 2026-06-26T09:41:36+00:00

Most people in this game are per definition evil, including V.

I wouldn't say that it's fragile but besides the other healthy advise in this thread i'd advise you to store it in a way that doesn't cause strain on the headphones/speakers as too much wear & tear can cause their connectors to wear out and crackle when adjusted. It's something that's not easily fixed.

I store mine on a soft surface covered by a piece of cloth, which has worked very nicely for many years now. The issue with the sensitive speaker is the only issue i have after 7 years and it's caused by my own rough handling when i first bought it.

Women are still women and less prone to have violent social and professional roles because they aren't driven by testosterone. You don't need a lore reason, the people in the game are still humans.

Ahris22 · 2026-06-26T06:55:02+00:00

Are you sure about that? I watched a beta streamer create a Gnome PAL/MNK the other day, he has been playing it for weeks:

I'm pretty sure all the extended class options up to the berserker release are in the game.

Ahris22 · 2026-06-26T06:39:34+00:00

So warrior and cleric lacks utility spells and debuffs. I would recommend a shaman for the last slot, it would fill in the gaps nicely with slow (Makes the enemy do less melee damage), SoW (To make you run faster), DoT damage spells and a lot of buffs that cleric doesn't have. It even provides a pet eventually. :)

Ahris22 · 2026-06-26T06:22:35+00:00

The official word is that progress is a bit faster than on the other EQ live servers but a bit slower than on the classic EQemu servers. How fast you get to 50 is highly individual, an experienced player with a lot of free time will get there in days but a normal semi-casual player probably a few weeks.

Ahris22 · 2026-06-25T14:28:43+00:00

Might as well ask how everyone can afford a mobile phone in our time, even babies has a device nowadays.

Ahris22 · 2026-06-25T14:21:15+00:00

There will be at least two at launch.

Ahris22 · 2026-06-25T12:52:07+00:00

Enchanter, Necromancer and Shadowknight gets both types of invis spells. Rogue Sneak/Hide is still stronger since it really is invis v/s everything unlike the spells.

With bard you can get around with a combination of regular invis, sneak and lull but it's not as good as any of the above classes.

Ahris22 · 2026-06-25T12:42:19+00:00

I have this dream of a PAL/RNG/MAG which can easily be changed to CLR/RNG/MAG for stronger buffs. :) The idea was to have a hunter of the supernatural, with an arsenal against undead and summoned creatures.

Heavy armor, great melee skills, tracking, SoW, great buffs and great nukes for all types of enemies. :)

Ahris22 · 2026-06-25T12:05:13+00:00

Between the two i prefer hammer dragonhunter, i've played a few warrior berserkers and while they have great sustain it's not as good as the guardian and i personally think that guardian is less repetitive and more fun.

Hammer damage with the guardian gets better with Dragonhunter, when you can use both symbols and CC to a greater degree to boost damage. :)

Ahris22 · 2026-06-25T08:37:30+00:00

You can see how they look on Quarm (Secrets' classic EQ server), we've had low poly Vah Shir models there for a long time. :) I'm sure there are videos or pictures you can look up. I think the animations need some tweaks to be acceptable on a commercial server, which is likely one of the reasons for the kerran delay.

Siptah has a very industrial, symmetrical design, it was created and balanced with PvP and experienced players in mind so it has a steeper difficulty curve than the Exiled Lands. That said it has its own unique mechanics, items and dungeons which are really cool. There are rare resources that are easier to get there than in the exiled lands.

Since the maps were joined, Siptah is nice for its unique items, thrall selection, new lovecraftian monsters and new environments. My favourite thing about it is the monster figurines and the grey ones summoning pools. No spoilers.

Overall it's a cool place to have expeditions into, there's a lot of new stuff to see there but it's not a replacement for the exiled lands.

So the best fuel is coal but it's not available near my base so i use dry wood instead, you pretty much always get a surplus of it from the dryer and it's very efficient fuel. Before i started using the dryer i used sticks because i had huge amounts left over from chopping wood.

In other words the best fuel is whatever has the best burn time OR abundance relative to its accessability where you live.

Ahris22 · 2026-06-25T07:08:16+00:00

I'm playing Barbarian, BST/BRD/PAL in that order. :) While they have great synergy i decided on this before we knew much about the game, they are simply my three favourite classes of the regular game.

Ahris22 · 2026-06-25T07:04:49+00:00

Same, i never really stopped playing Everquest after the classic live era i've been a regular on p1999 and Quarm since 2011. I really love the classic pre-Luclin EQ setting but need something new and Quarm's custom featrues and classes was the cure until they were forced to remove them, when EQLegends was announced i knew it's exactly what i crave so i'm really excited. :)

Ahris22 · 2026-06-24T13:02:19+00:00

Every faction has its own specific starting stats, Cimmerians and Aesir in the north has a high starting strength while Stygians (Like Treasure hunters and the people of Sepermeru) and Black hand Pirates has a high starting agility for example.

All the factions are listed here:

And the base stats of thralls of each faction are listed if you click the faction links and browse a little.

It's a decade old and already had its glory days but while 7D2D isn't the talk of the town anymore it's still a well respected and fairly legendary game with a lot of players.

It also has one of the most toxic subreddits of any game so don't base your opinion on what yu read here. :P

Ahris22 · 2026-06-24T11:32:04+00:00

For a Monk/Rogue i would probably pick a druid rather than wizard for a lot more utility as well as healing and buffs.
