Episode 002: Ghosts in the Trees

This week at The Nokturnal Tavern, we break down the August 18 EverQuest Legends patch, including the Castle Mistmoore revamp, UI and cursor scaling, targeted charm changes, the Bloodmoon merge, and a helpful explanation of the different instance and zone types.

In Ak’Anon Adjustments, we look at how to organize EverQuest’s overflowing chat windows into something you can actually follow during combat.

Quick Tips returns with 5 practical ideas, including an auto-forage setup, a creative use for the Quick Buff AA, converting fine steel weapons into High Quality Ore, previewing equipment on your character, and using /yell to help another player who may be about to inspect the floor.

Three-Way Theory examines a Paladin, Monk, and Enchanter combination, while Bristlebane’s Blunders revisits a joke about the English language that did not land quite the way it was intended.

We also talk about why I finally decided to create this podcast, reconnect with an old EverQuest friend, and open another section of A Weary Traveler’s Journal for the story of the Battle of Bloody Kithicor.

When daylight fades beneath those distant trees...

Kithicor awakens.

AUTO-FORAGE MACRO

Line 1:

Line 2:

Line 3:

Place the macro on a hotbar. Bind the primary and secondary keys for that hotbar slot to your Move Left and Move Right keys. EverQuest allows the movement keys to retain their original bindings while also activating the macro.

Pull up a stool, grab yourself a drink, and spend a little time with us here at The Nokturnal Tavern.

Episode 001 heads from practical EverQuest Legends advice into one of Norrath’s most legendary stories. We cover the new bi-weekly patch schedule, easier Ghoulbane farming in Upper Guk, useful map settings, quick gameplay tips, and why adding an Enchanter can completely change nearly any 3-class build.

Then the fire gets a little warmer and the drinks get a little colder as Lore & Legends explores the forbidden union of Lady Vox and Lord Nagafen...followed by a practical look at facing EverQuest’s original dragons in EQL.
