After reaching level 40 on my paladin / beastlord / rogue – I decided to swap. Of course I did. I didn’t feel like the beastlord was really pulling any weight for the group, so I swapped around to a warrior / rogue / bard combination and then when I hit level 24 I changed that warrior back to the paladin that I’ve been playing to toss a few heals into the mix. So far it has been going amazingly well.

I use offense stance along with spell blade, and I put my heals into that first slot to trigger spell blade, so as I melee, I heal myself. Then I have lay on hands and single target heals if those don’t work out.

With the bard I’ve got some tracking, and songs have 2 methods of playing in EQL. There’s the usual ‘melody’ method that I’m used to, and then there’s also an AA called Symphonic Aura.

The aura will auto play buffs starting at the bottom of your spell bar, I think it can handle 5 or so. Right now I have four playing, and then I have melody handling the rest. The rogue has 4 poisons up, and I feel like all of the characters are pulling their weight in this combination.

The downside is that I had to start back at level 10, so I’ve been working on climbing my way back to 40+. Whether or not I get there before I get distracted by the next shiny? Well. Who knows.

As always, happy gaming – no matter where you find yourself!

I started the day yesterday at level 36, and by the end of it I had accomplished my goal of reaching level 40. It took me a bit to find a zone I felt comfortable in. I went to Kedge Keep (and underwater zone), Guk, and Splitpaw. The experience really slows down as you near ‘end game’ and it didn’t feel like things were flowing as smooth as they used to, so it did take me some time to get these levels. As I mentioned before, it feels like you’re actively punished for grouping with other people, so me and my husband opted to go down different roads and play together but not ‘together’ as it were. It worked out for both of us, but is NOT my optimal play method. I’m hoping once we’re 50 and start farming raid mobs we’ll join back up together.

I got a flowing black silk sash for my pet, and a few other odds and ends that I hope to level up over time. Nothing exciting to write home about – which is perfectly ok. I’m still currently playing a Paladin / Beastlord / Rogue combination, but I will probably change in the future. To what? No idea, we’ll just have to see.

Another guild mate joined up with Nostalgia Inc, which I am always so tickled to see. I spent some time adventuring in Mistmoore, Splitpaw, and Guk, but didn’t make too much progress as it was just too warm. I am currently sitting at level 36 on my Beastlord (main), paladin, rogue combination. I had thought maybe I’d swap rogue for bard, but that just wasn’t working for me. I am hoping that eventually I’ll have each of the classes leveled up, but we’ll see how it goes, I don’t want to burn out and would rather just take my time with things.

Experience has slowed down a bit and mobs have gotten harder. I’m still a little annoyed that you’re actively discouraged from grouping by the experience bar moving MUCH slower. I’m sure you’re supposed to kill faster and make up for it that way, but it feels very much like a penalty. I’ve been gaining experience in difficulty 0 on a solo respawning kick (I heard these are tailored for solo players) and then I think I will try to do some farming, later. I’d also like to get into tradeskills but I think it would benefit me to be 50 at least on a trio before attempting that, to make farming easier.

Still. I’m having a blast! The game has been out for one week now, and it seems to be doing alright.

At the time of this post, my character is level 13 and I’ve settled on a Paladin / Wizard / Beastlord to play. For now at least. I’ve learned a lot more about EverQuest Legends that I didn’t know before. Like, if you’re leveling, don’t go jumping to D4 thinking that you’ll get more experience. The ‘sweet spot’ as it were seems to be D2, where you’ll still get some pretty good loot, and the kills come fast.

Evasive stance is my best friend, paired with spell blade.

You should use /advloot based on your situation – when grinding xp I have craft materials auto deposit, but I also leave it open because you can merge right from that UI window. Had no idea. Wish I had of noticed it when I was looting 200 rings and merging them into one another. I do wish there was a way to trade to others in the group from that window, as loot seems to be individual, but that’s alright.

I learned you can use motes to upgrade spells, that you can take focus out of gear and place it in new gear if you want. It really opens up gameplay, nothing is ‘solved’ so you get to play around with all of the things and figure out what works for you. I’m having a lot of fun with it, a weird combination of nostalgia and learning how to work with all of the changes.

I’m hoping I can inch closer to 20 this weekend, we’ll see how it goes. I’m out of practice with knowing where I should be hanging out at, and what sort of gear I want to be wearing – but I’m having fun re-learning all of this stuff.

As always, happy gaming – no matter where you find yourself!
