Hello

I'm a level 24 Troll SHM/WIZ/WAR, which for me is fun. I noticed that my Mana cost skyrocketed recently and I can't figure out why. I typically was at or slightly below the mana cost on the spell but the other day jumped up to nearly double.

Just looking for insights on why. Thanks.

I have two races left to unlock. Trolls and Halflings. My question is where is the best place to farm black wolves.

I’ve seen them In misty, commons, the feorrett Where are they the most common and easy and have an abundance to kill. All three of those locations they are rather rare with maybe two or three at a time on track.

I'm gonna hit 50 soon and was wondering which pet I should use motes on. My plan is to farm Phinigel for his focus item and then max out a pet, I'm just not sure which pet to max. Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Pathetic.

Mistmoore Castle Revamped

• Mistmoore Castle has received a major upgrade!
• In addition to named NPCs being guaranteed spawns, they now all have a guaranteed loot drop of a common or rare item with stat bonuses. While some of these items are familiar to explorers of the castle in years past, many are brand new. Some include exciting new effects ready for you to enjoy as they are or turn into exaltations.
• All named enemies in the zone have now also been designated as rare creatures, vastly increasing their chances of dropping motes of potential.
• Additionally, the residents of the main castle are now somewhat less aggressive and will not react to your presence from extreme ranges... during the daytime. Exploring the castle at night, however, will still be a harrowing affair once the castle denizens have shown their true forms.

Fractional UI Scaling & Cursor Scaling

• The UI Scaling system now supports fractional ui scaling in .25 increments, ranging from 0.75x to 4.00x.
• The Cursor now has its own scaling factor in the in-game Options (O).

• Players are now given the corresponding Potential of the Void task when they enter a raid instance.

Added a button in the Spellbook to open the actions window to the Spells tab. Added that same toggle option from Options in the Spellbook for visibility.

I'm leveling the Shaman / Monk / Paladin trio, and I'm currently using two flaming fists Primary +7 and Secondary +6.

Is this the best choice at my level (25) or should I be combing those for a +10 in my off hand with a good weapon in my Primary?

If I should combine them what weapon would be best to look for?

My first spell specialization was Alteration (which is what I wanted), but yesterday I bought 2 more specialization unlock AAs. I wanted Evocation to be my second one, so I went into Splitpaw and started spamming Evocation spells at mobs and it would never tick over 50 skill. I would get messages saying "you got better at specialization evocation" (or whatever the word is) but it would always say (50) and the skill itself still shows 50.

I started casting Abjuration spells and it started skilling up the specialization over 50 immediately as normal. Then went back to evocation and still getting the message saying I'm getting better at specialization evocation (50) about every time I cast an evocation spell.

Is this a known bug for anyone else?

At level 12 I trying to farm D4 Befallen with a modestly twinked loadout (+5 serpent’s fang, overall decently geared but no Sky drops as s War Sham Wizard and was hating life. My dps was crap, couldn’t heal worth anything, got steamrolled every time I had a bad pull.

Switched to Ber Rog Cleric and at level 10 with the exact same gear I was stomping everything, even level 20+ red cons. Died a few times on bad pulls but by 18/19 I had full cleared the entire dungeon.

My big takeaway is that cleric is the go to for heals at level 10 until other classes start to get HoT spells etc., and that DPS is king.

What other tips and tricks do you all have? I know that AoE mez is also easy mode, but what else is good?

Also which dungeons are best, or is it just a matter of personal preference?

Hey all,

Not sure if anyone else is experiencing this same behavior, but my RMB mouse look behavior is toxic.

In open spaces it seems to be fine, but in close quarters when the camera needs to zoom in and zoom out around obstacles the camera just violently whips around and sometimes lands the opposite angle I am moving.

Has anyone experienced this behavior and did you find anything to address?

Thx!

So I wanted to get Dagas from plane of sky. I know it needs drops from Island 5, 6 and 7 just curious how difficult it is on Legends

I’m currently a Warrior/druid/beastlord trio level 50. I have quite a bit of decent gear but could certainly use some upgrades. A few pieces of planar/hate gear. Some CT/inny gear and a few hold overs from Crushbone unfortunately.

I am keyed up to island 4 or 5 just curious if anyone has done the mobs on Legends and if so how difficult/rare are the item drops I’ll need

Anyone able to offer any insight would be greatly appreciated.

I’m assuming I’ll need atleast a duo partner as I have no real CC and the little I’ve done in sky has seen loads of resist even though most of my dots are tier 5

Thanks

I’m basically playing for the first time. I got to about lvl 15 back when the game first came out - but that was it.

I’m loving EQ:L. Everyone is very helpful — right up until you mention a specific quest. Everyone goes silent or just says “idk?”

Are y’all doing quests? Is that a thing?

Obtaining:
Sources say the higher the /con level (white/yellow/red), the higher chance a mote (of any level) drops. Named have an even higher chance.

The level of mote you can get is dependent/modified by the difficulty of the zone you are in.

I.e- If you run D0 Befallen, you will mainly get the level 1 Infinitesimal mote with maybe a few level 2 minor motes.

You run D1 Befallen, you mainly get level 2 minor motes and maybe a few level 3 lesser motes…

Run d4 Befallen, you mainly get level 5 major potential motes

Soooo… if you run D4 Befallen, but are level 30, you probably won’t have any motes drop since everything is below your level.

Usage of Motes
- Using motes on spells is different than using on equipment.
(Using motes on spells is more advantageous).

The reason: Any level mote can be used on any level skill, while only the corresponding level of mote will work with equipment.

I.e - You CAN use a level 1 infinitesimal mote on a regular non + gear. You CANNOT use them once the gear is +1.

Additionally… using the corresponding “level” of mote on a magic spell will raise the spell to the next level, while the mote on equipment will only give you 1/X to the next level.

Meaning. You need 2 lesser motes to move a piece of equipment from +1 to +2, yet you need only 1 lesser mote to move a spell from I to II.

Using motes on spells:
Increases the effectiveness (dmg amnt, heal amnt, level of mob effected)
Efficiency Spells cost less , cast faster, and recover for next cast faster, duration lasts longer
Builds in -resistance into the spell so the chance of not being resisted is higher.

** Keep in mind certain equipment such as quest rewards, you will want to use motes on at low levels prior to merging to get the most effective use/return/value.

Got questions? PM me or leave a reply.

Hello!

I am trying to figure out if it is worth upgrading the last tier of haste/regen spells from my Shaman. I know they will cast faster and cost less mana, but does say a +5 version of these type of spells increase the regen or haste % at all?

Thanks.

The existing tools are helpful for sure, but I had some issues:

1. inventory file doesn't show what you've got in currency or equipment storage
2. doesn't show what you've sold
3. doesn't show what quests you've completed

All of this is solvable with the log. You can even see if the items were vendored and you've accidentally got some quest piece set to auto sell (i realized i had accidentally sold 7 rogue stingers!)

https://eqltools.com/sky

My goals are: unlock all the classes, save most of the items, see what items are worth upgrading, help my bank not be so full.

So my tracker has several different views to accomplish all of that, It tries to show you other contenders for each gear slot so you can determine if you value the reward or not (it tries to rank them itself, but the stat priorities may not be perfect or you may disagree, but you will have a solid comparison either way).

One known issue: if eqlwiki has original rewards instead of EQL rewards it may show both. That will be fixed when the wiki is fixed so help with the wiki!

if you haven't visited before or it's been a while poke around. there's a lot of stuff of varying quality. Some lower effort AI stuff, some more polished stuff. In addition to the tools and explainers there's also the stiched 3d atlas and the lore site. I'll focus on stuff I'm actually using or other people ask for.

A lot of effort lately into my companion app, which has a little overlay widget in game. Biggest use case for that is quest tracking (big quests, multiple quests at a time, optimize traveling around and doing multiple quests at once) but also has parser, kill tracker, etc. Available for Windows and OSX (may be the only one for OSX? since i maintain osxEQL also i figured i should also do this)
https://github.com/sowoky/eqltools-companion/releases/

p.s. if other PoS tool dudes want to steal some ideas that's totally cool, just made this for myself to have an easier time. not making any money off this or anything!

Manage higher difficulty raids?

I imagine that trio can do fine in d0-d2 stuff, for the most part, because just about anything can evidently.

I'm curious how it would fare without a real healer or tank in the group?

Sure, it has plenty of buffs, a decent enough slow, resource regen, etc.

But will the lack of real sustain or tank keep it from pushing much farther than D2ish?
