An Honest Take on EQ Legends after a few days of playing Open Beta

There's honestly no reason to step foot in the Karanas on p99 either.

There are lots of good exp camps for people to to out there, even modern players will be at some of the good 6 min solo spots.

And on EQL there's just no reason to farm items or anything that isn't off raid targets.

I recognize that p99 has its Shm/enc/mnk min maxing problem too.

But it's just magnified 3x on EQL.

Like, I really wanted to do a build that I thought would be fun to play EQ with! That would be cool to farm EXP

But... All I do with that build is kill raid targets.. I dont need to grind for weeks to get through the 30s...

At least when it takes weeks to get to your 30s, you have a reason to move around and try different places.

Since all you are going to be doing is killing raid bosses, you kind of end up just min maxing the builds.

It's really just not that fun to die to raid targets because you're dedicated to your weird build.

And because its so fast to level you're like, "eh whatever, i have no attachment to this shitty druid im stuck with" you just swap it out.

i dont think i ever killed a single mob in the karanas ever in 10 years playing p99

its like flyover states in the US

On the per level hunting guide there are 25 hits between the karanas of good spots to level.

Give it a try sometime.

after playing the server for the beta, I got to lvl 23 on a rog/sk/shm. it'll probably be what I make when the server launches for real.

the game pretty much just feels like a solo EQ dungeon simulator with a chat room. thats not to say its a bad thing, it just really is a weird twist on EQ.

You mostly just head to a dungeon and make yourself a personal solo instance and you just kinda grind it out zelda style....clearing off a portion at a time, grinding in a certain area until you're ready to take on the next ect. What makes this fun tho is that they revamped a lot of the zones, so there is new loot and named mobs to find. So it actually feels fresh in a way because of that. Finding upgrades as you lvl up in EQ in the 10-20 game is awesome! usually you gotta wait til Guk to find anything decent.

The no death penalty makes exploring these dungeons much less tedious because if you get over your head you can just reset and try again or go to a different part of the dungeon you can handle.

Longevity is what i'm concerned about. obviously this is super fun, and probably will be until 50, but after 50 then what? idk if I'd wanna do another build to 50 again and again...but who knows.

if you're on the fence about trying it I highly recommend you scope it out.

Wuuutt are you all talking about??

That bandit sash quest was ez money back in the day, one of the best around if I recall. I made so many trips turning in bandit sashes (from karana bandits) for the random weapon reward to vendor, it was ridic, I think I turned in probably 100+ sashes

I made enough pp just with that quest alone to deck my level 12ish enchanter out with full loam + cha gear. He wasn’t maxed out cha but he was close, I rode out the rest of the game with like 225ish cha until 50+ where I was able to max it. And this was a first char, no twinking, no donations, nada

Some helpful stuff when this all goes live.

* Everquest Legends | 10 Key Items your first trio can obtain

* All The Things I Learned About Enchanter On EQL's Open Beta

* Great AA Planner here

* Rated Class Trio metas - Also evaluates your choices.

* My favorite - a class run down on spells for your class choices.

Going to try to log on with some friends and try the enchanter / cleric thing and see if it works. AoE stuns and spamming alternate AoE Word spells together. [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.] Supernova is just too late in the game to level from this.

Not sure on the 3rd class may lean into Warrior for cleave.

Oh and whirl to you hurl is way broken.

I did the manaburn build you were into botten, jacked up all my DD aas and stuff.. it twas a fun way to kill 0/1 bosses but D2+ it's not really helpful.

Also the like 2hr cooldowns make it not really that great either.

It was a blast to play that trio though, ngl.

Maybe think about monk instead of war with that combo you're thinking about? To help with DPS.

I really did enjoy the wizard, that was fun so I'd like to keep that.

I am debating Druid + wiz + enc going all caster to try to just get max DD damage.

6% crit chance for wiz has me critting like 40% of the time, and druid gets a 2nd 6% crit chace. So i imagine that could be like 50-60% of my dd's hitting crits would be wild.

I just don't know if the 3 casters can really face tank D4 bosses.. idk that build sounds like a lot of fun though. Last night I was spamming 1.5-3k ice comet hits on naggy, and I can still add another 1k to my crit bonus I think with the AAs i was missing.

Id have slow/heals - but If im spamming heals instead of Ice comets, then that takes the fun out of it.

Prediction: This game will die before launch. Already sub 150 viewers on the top of the twitch category.

Its hard to predict this one, i think it could, but it is also fun enough that I think ill keep a sub for a while at least.

I sure as hell wont be buying anything from the cash shop though.

Maybe if they sell motes lol that would be so dumb. But I would and then probably cancel after a month having maxed out all my stats with nothing to do lol
