Tag: EverQuestLegends

If there was ever any question of what I’ve been playing lately – well, you can check TempusGameIt and see clear as day that MOST of my time has been in EverQuest Legends. I’ve got four character specs at level 50 now (Paladin, Rogue, Enchanter, and Bard) with a few more slowly crawling up the ranks.

I did also play a tiny bit of Wurm Online (I’m still plucking away at my cloak, that will be a year or two in the making) and I did also log into World of Warcraft to make sure my auctions were posted (which I now realize I forgot to do today). It has been incredibly warm here again, so there has been less gaming and more sitting around doing nothing. I’m also trying to find time to balance all of my other hobbies (reading, knitting, art, etc) and making a big mess of it.

Still, EQL has been fun. We’ll see for how long.

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

I’m level 50 now on my paladin – rogue – bard. I’m 49 on my enchanter (a very popular choice these days) – and then for something completely different, I decided that I would level up a wizard – shaman – magician, combination. This is incredibly spell heavy, something that I typically try to avoid but I’m actually having a lot of fun with it. I started out at level 10, and now at the time of this post I am somewhere over level 20. This array of classes is not too overpowered with gear, because I simply didn’t have any for that combination. You can see above I don’t have anything at all in my secondary / range / ammo slots, nor am I wearing any shoes. Whewps.

The wizard is mowing things down in a single hit, the pet is doing all of the tanking. I do have a lot of spare AA tossed around and I think that is probably helping me out a bunch. Still, as long as I’m having fun, that’s all that matters. We’ll see how high I get these characters. Originally I was trying a beastlord / druid / wizard because I wanted to level up the few ports I was still missing, but this new combination is even better. The beastlord is sitting at level 41, so I can really pick it up any time.

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

I found a website called Loadout Legends that parses your EverQuest game as you play, and lets you keep track of things like – loot from sky (so long as you have /log on, I discovered). A lot of these apps have been around for some time, after all EverQuest isn’t new but with a newfound interest in the Legends version, they’re getting some popularity.

Anyway. I basically spent all weekend in Sky, working on various collections and quests. At the time of this post, I have 15/95 quests completed. Why bother? Well. In EverQuest Legends, this is how you can earn tokens to unlock each class if you don’t want to pay real life money. Each class has between 4-7 quested items, and if you complete them all, you will unlock that class.

The problem is the drops in Sky are random. Most of the ‘rare’ items come from the bosses that spawn on each island, and Sky itself is also no walk in the park. That being said, I was over the moon when I obtained the paladin one handed weapon that I had been trying to get. At least something useful came from all of these quests that I’ve been turning in.

Tuesday is the next big patch day that we’ll see. I hope group experience is fixed then.

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

It actually happened a few days ago now – but I reached level 50 on my first three classes in EverQuest. The combination? A Bard, Paladin, and Rogue. Except I wasn’t quite feeling the synergy between those characters so as soon as I hit 50 (which happened in Plane of Hate, as it were, love that zone) I decided to go back to level 10 and level up a new combination of characters.

I love playing the Paladin, and I also love playing the Rogue, but I am not in love with the bard. I decided to swap the bard for an Enchanter, and start over again. It feels like Enchanters can do everything my Bard can do – but better.

So now I’m level 36, attempting to level up again.

It’s really not the Enchanters fault. Their charm spell is just very over powered. Especially if you upgrade it at all with motes. Even upgraded, my Bard’s charm spell lasts for less than 2 minutes. That’s a lot of time spent re-casting charm.

I did wander around Hate quite a bit, earned a lot of class gear that I was able to pass down to my character so that when I do get the urge to play someone else (because of course I will) that I’ll be ready. I also upgraded my weapon to be 10/10 which is the max rank you can upgrade items (for now).

Next up? Crafting.

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

I learned yesterday that the reduced experience you get when playing with others in EverQuest Legends is unintentional – and then I was excited, because it sounded like it was going to be fixed at the next update, which we all assumed would be Tuesday, August 11th.

Except then they made this announcement.

Bi-weekly schedule is fine, but I was really counting on them fixing this glitch. It just doesn’t feel good to earn significantly less experience in a group than by yourself. In fact it actively discourages me from grouping with my partner, because I know we could both be earning so much more if we played apart.

So for now, I’ll continue to wait.
