EverQuest Hints and Tips

To Kill or Not to Kill

You don't have to be involved in killing or being killed by other
human players if you don't want to. When you begin EverQuest,
you default to non-PK (player-killer) play. There's enough
gameplay in EverQuest so that it's interesting for quite a while, so
turning to murder is not necessary to relieve boredom. If, on the
other hand, you actually want to PK other players, it isn't hard to
change your status. You start the game with a book in your
inventory, and if you give it to a priest of disorder NPC (non-player
character), it will change your setting to PK. Of course, once you
do that, it's next to impossible to go back to the good side of
things.

How Do I Get My Hands on Those Journeyman's Boots?

The booty you seek lies in the dungeon of Najena. Be sure to
bring along some friends, because the only sure way to get your
hands on them is to camp out until you catch a rare spawn, quite
possibly waiting in line (or duking it out) with a bunch of other
questers seeking the same thing. The journeyman's boots are
also rumored to be available via a close-to-impossible quest. Look
for a fellow named Bootstrutter who wanders the Rathe
Mountains.

EverQuest's Online Manual

The manual that came in the box pales in comparison to the one
you'll find on your Windows desktop, by going to
Start/Programs/EverQuest. This manual actually updates itself!

Don't Decay

If you have to log off the game suddenly before you have had time
to recover your corpse, there is still a week of offline time, or 24
hours of online time, before it decays--but only after you have
reached level six. It's a good idea to use the /loc command when
death is imminent and make a note of your coordinates. Then you
will have a good idea where to find your corpse, so you can at
least get your stuff back.

Go Quest, Young Player

If you're ramping up points, fulfilling a quest gives you much more
experience than just random hunting and killing. Picking the right
quests can also help out your faction standings.
