These mounts are broken, whenever I engage in combat my mounts break and deform. Will they fix this in the upcoming patch soon?

I am trying to play my coercer in the new expansion, but my survival and damage seem pretty terrible. I know that is most likely my fault and i am trying to fix it but looking up others builds on EQ2U isn't working currently and there doesn't seem to be any information online about it except people talking about how good they are.

Currently level 130, it was taking me like 4-5 attacks to kill a basic mob. The named were wrecking me before I even had a chance to do much. I have temporarily switched to Illy and my damage/survivability seems to have shot up massively, but I wanted to play the coercer for their abilities. I find the Illy kind of boring in comparison.

If anyone has a coercer and is either willing to share some insight on their class (I'm sure i don't know the best ways to do things) or help with AA build (currently just using a random self chosen set on illy, about the same as i had on Coercer) I would appreciate the help.

With Illy i can just send his pet and it did more than my Coercer and his summoned pet did together. Just trying to figure out what I did wrong.

I did get the new gear in new zone, i checked my AAs for unspent points, made sure my augments were moved over that were superior, got the new version of the field medic augment.

After I had one issue I have another 😢So I downloaded EQ2map via the auto updater and while testing if it worked I feel like something went wrong cuz when I was loading in it would say Entering world as character name for too long before putting me in the loading screen and then in the loading bit it would go Updating environment maps before putting me back in the character select, did something go wrong or do I have to uninstall and reinstall EQ2map? It's my first time installing it too.

TLDR: Game refuses to load past Updating environment maps and doesnt show the zone name when loading after downloading EQ2map via the auto updater

It has been forever since my wife and I played. I recently bought a new computer for another reason, but thought why not fire up EQ2?

Good God! I used a controller for movement on my left hand and a track mouse fore everything else. I remember using the keyboard for attacks and spells.

So it finally loads and there is one chat box and one spell box. Im not going to read any directions, how hard can it be? Well, it took a few days to get that sorted out a little, but it still feels off.

So, lets go and kill something. My zone geography was sketchy at the peak of my time. I'm really lost now. So I take mey nec out to the harder of the two Zeks and have been grinding through there. Some things are starting to come back. Things like collections suck. Grinding sucks. Questing without a guide sucks. But I am still having a pretty good time. Getting spells down and playing with my merc (after I found how to call him) is going OK. Maybe in a couple months, I can try to group. I have a ton of group buffs on the merc and heals galore on my Fury. We used to group all the time. Raiding was good when it was good, but it could drag on a bit. My woklife back then didn't lend itself to all nighters.

Go home and go to broker. Pfft, forgot how to do that, lol. I remember having my inventory open and seeing what it is going for on the market, then selling at an appropriate price. I'll work on that tomorrow.

Just thought I'd share how much I have forgotten .

No where near that many don’t even think the mailbox holds that much😂😂😂😂😂

Anyone with a scout who mostly plays solo willing to share their character name so I can copy your AA trees. It was working well until I hit 127 and now I'm dying instantly.

Any other advice on how to improve my overall stats would be welcome too.

What do I want to aim for with DPS, Potency...etc.

🙈

I had this issue since yesterday, I went in my guild's hall and as I was walking around the laggy guild hall, the game froze and whenever I try and load back in it freezes on the adding character to zone and stops responding after a while.

I have tried the following: Reduce the resolution and getting out of full screen including bordered full screen Using the Extreme Performance profile in Options Lowering the CPU usage thing in Options>Hardware

Note: I am a fellow player that plays on low end, don't judge. Any tip helps. EDIT: FIXED (I had to go in Windowed mode again)

Just learned about the origins server last night (why is the everquest team so bad with advertising?) is there a forum or discord that people use to communicate more than reddit? The reddit seems quiet.

Also I cannot see much info online how does the market board work? Do you need to be online to sell or it it closer to retail?

Hello all!

In case you missed it, here's the full review of Scars of Destruction, the 21st expansion for EverQuest II.

Enjoy!

Im having issues with this boss fight. i get him to 10% and one shots me. how do i stop him from using all the gold crystals?>

What, exactly is the anatomy of those creatures? Do they have such internal organs as stomachs? Do they even eat?

I'm wanting to check out the new expac but trying to decide on my class. End of the day, I'd like minimize skill bar bloat as much as possible--that's my primary class selection driver. I main and primary alt a monk and inquisitor on Origins, too, so hoping those aren't the top for this pretty narrow class preference.

Anyway, thought I'd query the hivemind!

Recently returned for the expansion, duo'ing a paladin/necro. Finished the Scars of Destruction sig line. I bought the $70 expansion, my familiar/mount are still leveling to 10, etc.

I still need to grind out solos to have all 495 resolve gear, but I feel like I'm still missing something big. My paladin has 800M hp, less than my channeler friend. I get two shot by the h1 trash at the entrance. What am I missing/what should I be working on? Thanks!!!

Interested in trying this but I know vanilla eq2 is not solo friendly is it to late to start as a new player or are there still new characters running around?

I want to cancel membership on daybreak games but when I go to membership options I see payment pending, I cannot also delete my card from my account settings

I just started playing the game again, and I remember the decent amount of voice acting being a big part of the game, but to my dismay I have not run across a single voiced line yet. Looking online, I found a lot of talk about launcher settings and voice over files/options located within the launcher, but I don't see the same options on my launcher. Are voices included now by default, or should I look for the settings somewhere different?

I need a Sage, Armorer and Weaponsmith to help finish the quest. Anyone able to help on this server? Long shot but I've always played solo so don't know how to do the others!

I recently did a pretty quick burn to level 80 and am having a blast. I want to sit at 80 for awhile and try to mentor down, kill some old raids, etc. Just have some fun on this toon for awhile without leveling.

I have tried some older raids and I have failed pretty miserably. I suspect it's my gear as it's just a random assortment of gear I got leveling up quickly. Several pieces are in the 50's and 60's for level requirement, for example. No adornments, etc.

Where is a good place to get gear for a level 80 who plans on staying level 80 for awhile? I don't mind a decent grind I can solo and I have a level 100 crafter (jeweler). As long as I can stay level 80 to get it I am keen. Any help or suggestions are much appreciated.

Hey fellow Norrathians, I recently met a seasoned player that told me that for the Origins Version, they changed the way that some defensives work. AFAIK they decreased the chances to Procc some damage reduction, maybe stoneskin? He said something along the lines of "they reduced the Procc-chance itself and linked it to another event/chance. So that it basically became" useless".

I ask this question bcs AFAIK/have heard the guardians forte was that he was the most durable and defensive of the tanks. And I wonder if he is now more like bottom tier (with monk/bruiser). On that note I heard a lot of people say that the berserker is now the "best" tank, bcs the crusaders (pally/SK) are having some energy/interrupt issues and the Berserker is now basically (current) Guardian + Damage.

Would love for some insights! <3

Hello all,

Riders of the Storm is recruiting for a third raid team made up of members from Mistakes Were Made.

Right now is a great time to return to Varsoon if you are feeling burned out with SL content on Origins, or if you quit and are thinking on returning. If you are already 90, you are not so far behind. When you login you will be granted 280 AA if you are below 280. AoD will launch on the 19th and is a full gear reset. Solo and Group timelines in Withering Lands and Skyshrine reward gear that will be comparable to DoV raid gear or better. Beastlords will be coming with AoD on the 19th. So Beastlord lovers get ready to roll a new character. Baubles were added to the Marketplace to grant lvl 85 - 280AA - and starter gear should you want to boost that baby Beastlord, though this will not be required as there will be plenty of people leveling their new Beastlord. So come join in the fun. Mercenaries should be coming as well, which will help people with the solo timelines.

We are looking for a few fills and back-up raiders for our raid force on Mon/Thurs.

8:00pm eastern: Raid starts forming

8:15pm eastern: We issue start of raid DKP

8:30pm eastern: Start of raid

11:30pm eastern: End of raid

Loot is DKP

We are looking to have a raid force of more than 24 members to have fills in the event of a call out. If you are benched, you still have full DKP and Bidding rights. You'll earn DKP as if you were in raid, and can bid on any item dropped as per normal bidding rules. In raid members do not take priority over benched raiders. Inquire about more details around the DKP bid system when contacting an officer.

We are currently looking for:

Mystics (2+)

Troubadour (1+)

Necromancer (1+)

Other DPS including Beastlords post AoD (?+)

Backups for all roles (?+)

Contact Mindfury or Scexxi for more details and specifics

If you're looking for a reason to come back to Varsoon and ride out the rest of the server life to ToV with us, now is the perfect time to get back into it.

Looking forward to grouping with all of you.

I'm playing on Origins, and I finally made it to 50! Feels really great, but now I need some guidance.

I play a (good) Warlock. My goal is to raid and continue to improve as much as possible (max dps/survival)... but also to have fun doing quests and whatever else is engaging in the world.

I've done Saving Soles and An Eye for Power so far. I have nearly all masters and I plan to start working on my prismatic weapon questline as soon as possible. Those seem to be the obvious improvements to work on.

What other quests out there are going to help me improve? Is there any specific gear that really makes a difference (and where to get)?

Also, what other cool/fun/immersive things are there to do in Norrath? I don't really care for crafting, but maybe there are things to work towards while I wait for DoF to come out?

How do you spend your time on your lvl50?

Thanks!

I just started EQ2 and have been having a great time until now. Reached lvl 9 and I can't seem to solo anything or find any groups. I bought some armor off the broker but it hasn't helped. Any tips for an assassin? If anyone wants to group up or run quests, please let me know!

I purchased the Scars of Destruction Family and Friends Edition with the intention of gifting it to a friend. There are no instructions on how to do this. Help!

So i finally decided to waste my life on MMO. I heard that Everquest is a great game(i heard it when i was a small idiot) and heard that there a lot of unusual classes(the necromancer is my desire) so i choosed EQ2. After watching a lot of videos of EQ2 abour classes, world and quests i still did not get anything cause of my experience with MMO(lack of it).
So i lay here upon your judgement users of Reddit - i am worth of teaching about where to start or if there are servers/thing suitable for begginers or am i doomed to live happily and never touch MMO?

I'm a new player and I just came across "the crossroads" in the commonlands. I thought, well this must be a nice coincidence. Then I came across "the wailing caves".

At this point I'm wondering - did wow copy everquest 2 or was it the other way around?

The crossroads for instance I believe I saw in the maps of warcraft 3 Rexxar's campaing. So I guess everquest could've copied warcraft there. Just curious to know if anyone has more insight into this.
