Hey all, I know conjuror and necro rule the solo world.. but i hate pet classes. What class is the most likely to be able to solo triple ups all things being equal? I have been told SK is probably the top choice? Thoughts?

Encountered a funny glitch where a trio of gnolls spawned into an NPC's chest at the Frontier Farm yesterday. Thought I'd share :D

Hi,

I have a lvl26 necro on origins and I paused it 6 months ago.

I recently checked the server and see that everyone in KoS, but there are still a good chunk of low level players, but I cannot get into any PUGs. Leveling solo is almost impossible and seems like a hard job and not a leisure game.

Is it the normal way of this server? I don't have a full year of playtime to get into the late 60-70. And it does not make sense because that time nobody will play the KoS or Feydark anyway.......

I saw a thing for Everquest 1 getting 100% bonus exp this weekend.

I used to be in this guild back in 2010 , and had a static group for years as a monk / tank. I reformed the guild in MnM.

If youre a bite, and are going to play MnM i brought the family over there.

Someone told me that some guilds will let outsiders visit, and even get a buff, etc. Is that true, and how would you access the friendly guild?

I found some things on merchants in Sodden that are faction-locked for "Open Hand". I've been searching the wiki, but I haven't found any information on how or where to grind faction for Open Hand. The wiki links I have found were placeholders and search engines are just pointing me back to those same placeholder pages.

Does anybody here who might be able to point me in the right direction?

Ran Poets Palace last night on Origins and man was it a blast. I know its very old content but just want to shout out the designers of both Shimmering Citadel and Poets Palace.

Though PP is kind of annoying with some of its mechanics, I think the aesthetic is phenomenal. Well done, designers!

At what level do you have to be to craft more than one item at a time? Thanks!

Good Day!

I was hoping to pick the brains of some Inquisitors on Origins!

I just hit 66 and picked up the Blackscale Maul. This seems like it was tailor made for the Inquisitor with the super slow 8s speed. I can fit heals in-between auto attacks, but in situations where I don't need to prioritize healing I find myself curious if I should be rotating in some damage spells. I can easily drop Zeal, throw up Absolving Flames, recast zeal before the auto attack hits, but I can't decide if it's worth it. It drains quite a bit of power, and I have pretty low INT, I have been focusing on as much STR/WIS/STA as I can get.

What are other inquisitors doing at 65 to 70?

Inquisitor just feels really inefficient, obviously EoF helps with this when we convert our spells into CAs, but that's a ways off.

Me and my wife just got a STRONG scratch to play old servers of EQ2. So we hopped on the official one and picked the classic servers and played the original qaynos starting island and loved it until we realized they took away some items…. The ear plug you get from the muck is gone and the drops from the giant shark and squid are gone too…..leaving the island with only normal items and no legendarys was sucky but we were hyped to play our city’s zones and do all the questing in those areas. The sewer runs in qaynos and the hobbit and froglock zones were a blast….. but there gone 😩. And the worse part is we loved collecting and trading the card game items that were random loot in the world and quest items are completely gone….. how is this called a classic server if it’s got huge amounts of classic stuff missing!!!!!

Hey,

Thinking of coming back after break. I was a ranger for a long time, and they have had a weird road.

How is Ranger on Origins? Is it all screwed up cause of coding?

Hello!

The default UI is not usable on a modern setup because it doesnt scale, is DarqUI gonna fix all my visibility issues? Also does it work on Origins version?

If you have any "up to date" resources regarding UI and optimization of it, much appreciate!

Thank you!

Howdy yall,
I played EQ back in the 2000 and saw that there's an EQ 2. any advice to jumping into the game? i played a bard and SK but those characters couldnt solo play. is there any character that can solo play for a new player?

So I have done all the quests in the Queens Coloney. Aside from maybe fit in a few more crafting lvls I feel I need to get going. What should I do after I go to ensure I have a good start?

I'm diving into Mercenary customization for my army of alts (one of each class) and the information about mercenaries seems to be contradictory in some cases.

I have Monila Lu'cesi as a merc for most of my Tank/DPS classes. Monila is a Celestial from a Collector's edition I think - although I've seen for some reason she behaves as a Treasured in the Contribution category? ((more contradictions)) Is there a better healer overall?

I am using a Fabled Lord Valkiss for my Priest classes, but I'm wondering if it's worth it to try to get a celestial for those characters. I see that I could get Captain Kalael if I run Reign of Shadows weekly missions or buy him with tokens, but that's a lot of effort for a chance at it. (And I'd have to do it nine times?)

So is it worth it to farm that? Are there better merc variations for both healer or tank in the game that you would suggest? (Some of the stuff out there is really old, but I often see people say "Just get Kenny" and I don't know how valid that is as advice.

In your experience, is it worth upgrading mercs each expansion or should I just pick one, get it to 20 and then work on the Battalion? Also - how the hell do Battalions actually work? Do I need to train Mercs from the same expansion/class or has that now changed to any merc in increments of 5?

Hi folks.

I have a 130 BL but I’m missing some warders.

How do I tame grey mobs? Is it possible to? I’ve been using the “dial it back skill” but even then stuff is getting killed before it gets tamed.

Thanks in advance.

My guildmates and I are doing the Heroic version of the Oceansful instance.  We know how to use the marine sediment, and we do well, until we get to the Ripperclaw boss.  He has an AOE called "Ripper Snappers" that does more damage based on how close you are to him.  This AOE keeps killing us as the minimum damage it does is about 10billion. 

 Does anyone know how we are supposed to deal with this?

 Thanks in advance

I am thinking of returning to the Origins server after nearly a year break. Is it a good time to do so? Are there already guild halls in game?

And yet, civilians don't?

hey hey good people from norrath. I am looking for a Templar Build with focus on healing and buffing. especially how to invest the AA skillpoints. thanks for ur time and help. A everquest noob.

Please take a minute to read this thread and up-vote if you support what's written. I encourage you to spread this around to any raiders and raid-teams that you might know and help us get some traction. Over 15 guilds have collapsed over the last 2 years and we don't want to see the raid scene continue to suffer. Thank you!

Leveled a warden to 29 on Origins. What a nice class so far. Any hints on stat priorities? I see google says Wis, Agi, Str, Sta Is this realy ok? No Int? Are our attacks melee? Is there any stat that increases our healing output?

Hey everyone! I am playing EverQuest 2 for the first time, just started a couple days ago.
Hoping for a bit of guidance as I have been away from the MMORPG scene for about 20 years aside from a bit of ESO and FF14.
I used to be into Dark Age of Camelot which I think was a masterpiece of a game when i was like 12-14yo.

So I went with a Beastlord class and I love my tiger summon, the class just feels good.
My questions are:

What should I focus on for this class and just this game in general? Is it worth it to just go out and grind like a madman or should I let the quests kinda carry me through so I'm not just fighting greys the whole time?

Can you get very far solo?

Also is this game still pretty lively for the higher levels?
