So I've been looking around an MMO to try to get immersed as an character that I made for an ttrpg a few months ago, I've found two that could get me what I want, LOTRO (Mariner) and EQ2 (Swashbuckler or maybe Brigand?).

It's just an simple fencer, really, nothing exceptional, but once you start digging on mmo... there almost no class that appeal to a single sword/rapier class fantasy (rip New World).

LOTRO Mariner NEEDS to hold an dagger (which is weird, since it's never used, and it's just a stat stick lol), so I just downloaded EQ2 to make a cool ratonga swashbuckler and go around doing quest and discovering the game... but I've found out that Swashbuckler in EQ2 don't have the "single hand" advancement anymore, but I need to confirm on this, since infos on this game is a bit hard to find t.t

TLDR: Is Swashbuckler still able to play as a single handed (no dual wielding/shield) class?

Sorry if I couldn't explain well, english is not my native language

Hey guys!

Planning to come back to the game, and was hoping for some advice. I'm a solo player init for the questing and to see as much content as I can, and I had a couple questions:

1. Is Shadowknight still the best class for solo questing?

2. How does one get a merc these days?

3. I used to use a mod that tracked quest completion and such so I wouldn't miss anything, but it appears to be long dead. Is there any other site or tool I can use to make sure I don't miss quests and do it in as close to "in order" as possible?

I used to play with my dad when I was a kid (he would make me gather on his character for hours lol)... anyway.. i am back and have a level 80 conj. One of my favorite parts of the game was always decorating my house. What are the best quests to get cool house items?

Also.. I know not nearly as many people play... But i am looking for an active guild that uses chat and quests together etc. Im on halls of fate. thank you!

I know, I know, necros are OP and no one should help them, but damnit I just want to be a better player. My AE dps is decent but I seem to really lack on single target fights.

My understanding is there's just a few spells a necro will use on ST fights, but what are they and what order should I cast them at? If anyone could help me with this I'd really appreciate it.

on the live server do rangers just stand back and shoot stuff to death or is the ideal gameplay to dance in and out of ranged and melee?

I’m an OG player back from 2004 and have been feeling super nostalgic about EQ2 lately. So much so that I downloaded the game and started playing on FV. Couple things I’m noticing: 1. Nobody around in the starting areas and 2. It’s waaay easier than I remember. Like I’m never taking damage.

I’ve heard that most active players are on paid servers and that Wuoshi is OG EQ. So my question is: is it worth it? Are there actually people playing? Will I run into them? Is it the original difficulty?

Thanks!

Hey all -

Officially launching eq2broker.com - it tracks and automatically updates prices of popular and high-volume broker items over time. It gives great insights into market trends, identifying opportunities and can help you evaluate when a good time to buy is vs. when something is overpriced. You can request additional items to be tracked and even set alerts to ping you when a price on an item goes above/below a specified amount.

I'd of course love any feedback/recommendations etc... All of this is provided entirely free (not even any ads!)

I know racial abilities and stats don’t matter once you level up. But are there any benefits or drawbacks (besides the starting zone) of playing either good or evil races? I tried looking online but they mainly focused on each race rather than playing a good or evil races.

Where can I find up-to-date class guides, specifically AA builds, for Wuoshi? Everything I find from that era mentions "lines" that no longer exist and don't state what the abilities actually were.

Right now I'm leveling Inquisitor and have been focusing on the melee abilities in the Inquisitor tree.

Hi everyone! I'm new to the game and have been playing for about a month. I used to play WoW, and I'm looking for some advice from experienced Brigand players on the Wuoshi server.

I have a few questions:

• Is there an optimal raid rotation for bosses and trash packs?
• How should I choose my gear? Is there a recommended stat priority when deciding between items?
• Are there any potions, consumables, or other buffs I should be using to maximize my DPS in raids?
• maybe something else

Any tips or guides would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

Hey everyone,

As a long-time fan of Everquest, I’ve always felt that the German-speaking EverQuest community is a bit underserved when it comes to up-to-date, localized resources. To change that, I’ve spent my free time building and launching Norrath Kompass!

This is an entirely independent, non-commercial fan project that I run purely out of passion for the game. My goal is to create a cozy corner of the web with fresh news, guides, and updates for German-speaking players (or those who want to brush up on their German while adventuring).

What you can find on the site so far:

• EverQuest Legends:
  • Comprehensive Leveling Guides (from Level 1–10 and solo-friendly 1–50 paths ).
  • Deep dives into new systems like Item-Merging and Motes of Potential.
  • Beta Patch Notes translated and summarized into German.
• EverQuest 1:
  • Introduction to Time-Locked Expansion (TLP) servers.
  • Detailed guides for the new Frostreaver TLP server (rules, starter zones like Neriak and Nektulos Forest, and starter class guides for Enchanters, Warriors, and Clerics).
• EverQuest II:
  • News and updates, including coverage on the newly launched Wuoshi TLP server.

Since I manage this site completely on my own in my spare time, any feedback, suggestions, or just a friendly hello would mean the world to me. If you have German-speaking guildmates or friends playing any of the EQ titles, please feel free to share the link with them!

We also have a small community Discord if you want to hang out: https://discord.gg/uF8vDTYw2K

Thank you for your time, and see you in Norrath!
