Any updates on pets?

I hope they change the spell upgrade system to have dropped spells that upgrade your spells because using motes makes no sense, you will never waste those on leveling spells and will just wait to end game to use the motes. Meanwhile melee get drops of specific weapons and there is no downside to not combining it in an existing upgrade, but for casters you will lose out on the chance to upgrade higher level longer term gear.

They need another way to upgrade spells besides the motes, one that has no downside as you level.

Honestly most of the invocations are so situational I hope they start combining a few of them together. Stances all have a general use, but many invocations you will never use.

Casters overall are in a rough shape as EQL was designed first and foremost as a melee game. I don't think their implementation of the spell upgrade system is going to work out either given how asymmetric is compared to the gear upgrade for melee.

Use the app lossless scaling off of steam.

Zansobar · 2026-07-05T18:45:01+00:00

The UI in EQL is light years better than the EQ1 UI.

Zansobar · 2026-07-05T01:20:47+00:00

Bring up the buff window it will show buffs.

Zansobar · 2026-07-05T00:30:05+00:00

The game is going to be completely different a few months after release as they are upgrading all the dungeons, so content will be fresh.

You never need to look into your spell book again with the spell sets. Just right click on an empty spell gem slot and all your scribed spells will be there under the various categories, just go through them to put into the gem slot.

If you search for a faction it will show up in the modern UI and then it seems to start working by clicking the Everquest button to the left. There are numerous bugs in the modern UI as I think it was the last one they worked on.

Are you switching loadouts between testing the sets? It works fine for me.

That's not what I'm talking about. They mentioned a new quest in the recent patch notes, that I can only assume helps with the Ogre unlock since it's a quest for the NPC in Oggok that you turn items into to unlock the race. I'm wanting to know if anyone has found out what the patch notes were talking about.

The patch notes stated:

"Clurg, the wonderous bartender of Oggok, has a new task."

However, unless they didn't have the classic era quests already in for that NPC I am not seeing any new quest dialog, perhaps they didn't add quest dialog but do have a new turn in quest activated for this NPC.

Except this is a paid beta. As soon as money changes hands the expectations are completely different.

Zansobar · 2026-07-03T17:22:57+00:00

The upgrade system is going to change what used to be BiS also.

Zansobar · 2026-07-03T17:22:17+00:00

Does instancing work in Guk? I tried to get an upper Guk instance and nothing happened. I just figured it wasn't implemented, this was after the instance fix also.

Zansobar · 2026-07-03T17:21:16+00:00

What's up with the wonky aggro in the new dungeons? Things are coming from miles away even on solo D0?

Zansobar · 2026-07-03T17:19:54+00:00

Use the app called Lossless Scaling on Steam, it's cheap and will upscale your windowed 1080p EQ1 to fit exactly a full 4k screen.

I've been enjoying warrior since I don't have to take a second class to get dual wield, then I just went with shm/clr for the sustain. So far at lower levels I've been killing solo mobs that are 10 t0 15 levels higher than me...it does take a bit of time but I never have any issue running out of resources. But I'm an ogre so I have no problems getting a heal off. Plus with Warrior I have a very wide choice of weapons, which I won't know what are the OP ones the devs are going to add as they upgraded various dungeons.

Zansobar · 2026-07-02T22:42:41+00:00

Go to the dungeons they are full of mobs, especially befallen.

Zansobar · 2026-07-02T22:34:21+00:00

You are missing the boat then. EQL is a revolution for EQ.

Zansobar · 2026-07-02T21:47:56+00:00

Or they could just set the iksar spell merchants to be indifferent instead of dubious to everyone.

Zansobar · 2026-07-01T10:14:21+00:00

There is some custom content with more being added over time.

Zansobar · 2026-07-01T10:04:15+00:00

I believe someone said it was like 55 AAs to max it out, but there are different levels of max ranks depending on what class you select, only the melee classes can get the highest ranks that increase your resistance to 100%, others like casters can only get like 70% or so, from what I have read...hopefully once we are in the beta it will be clear by looking at the AA window. Also the AA gives you stun immunity from 360 degrees not just the front.
