None of which were required to do anything as once luclin hit you could get tons of gear much easier, sure the bosses got big hp boosts but you still eventually won

Once pop hit ornate destroyed all previous raiding because it was "Good enough" to not bother with any and all previous content

However, you could not raid gates without at least ELE planes gear from pop preferably time gear

And once Omens came out you werent raiding anything with omens ornate so you had to raid pop. Later, DODH came out and still you werent doing anything without time / gates gear so even tho it was 4 expansions old, you still HAD to do previous content


This was destroyed once SOF Came out with elaborate gear and eq died at that point

Always why i say the best "Era" of everquest was pop to dodh
AAA post. Thanks for sharing.
