EVERQUEST "HOW TO" & "CHEATS"

You may hear a lot of folks talk about "cheats" and "secrets" for playing EQ.

In reality, there are no actual cheats and secrets, you just may not know "how to" (or that certain things were in game or possible).

Topics below are not in any certain order and are addressed in the form of topical questions. If you have a question that would fit this page (and perhaps the answer as well), please let me know!

What is a MACRO and how do you use it?

EQ does allow some in-game Macros -- aka Hot Keys (keyboard keys), that you set up via the "Options" menu in EQ.

For instance, you can set up a key to cast up to five (5) spells by just tapping the Hot Button or a Key on your Keyboard connected to that Hot Button.

Seek assistance / information from other players if you are not able to figure out how to set them up.

It seems like some food and drink last longer than other food/drink? Is this the case?

As a matter of fact, yes!

When you look at a food/drink, you will see it described in different ways.

As best I can tell, the food/drink lasts longer, in the order noted below (based on the in-game description of the item):

So... other than the AA's that help you consume less, keeping the better food/drink on hand can also reduce your consumption.

Is there a way to block summoned items spells?

Yes, there is, but use it wisely. You don't want to block items you may want or need in the future. Also, is it better to think of "blocked spells" as "blocked buffs" -- as you can not block detrimental spells (snares, roots, DoT's, slows, etc.).

This is not the same as blocking buffs, which is a simple in game option through the EQ button or by right clicking the buff icon and clicking the right pop-up choice (keep in mind, there is a limit on how many spells you can block... the limit appears to be 40).

Blocking actual items cast up via spells, however, is a bit trickier.

Example, you can block those mage mana rods, the poisoned Jester food and drink, player summoned food and drink and so forth.

So, if you don't like, nor want, such items suddenly appearing on your cursor, block them!

Here is how you do it.

First off, go to Lucy and look up the summoned item you want to block.

Lets say you wish to block the summoned black bread.

You do a search... but you search for the spell, not the item. In this case, searching for "food" will find two of them for you.

Click one of the links and then look up in the URL window.

The number by the "ID=" (part of the URL) is what you are looking for. In this case, the number is 50.

Now, to block it, you need your character logged in and type the following command:

/blockspell add me 50

This will forever block the summoned black bread (from that particular spell) from landing on you.

To block all versions of this spell, you need to block each one.

One of the best blocks you can set up is for the poisoned Bristlebane's Bread and poisoned Bristlebane's Wine that Jesters can cast up. To block them both, type this command:

/blockspell add me 6893 6895

Note that a space is used between codes, to block multiple items with one command.

Some spells are tricky to look up, especially if you don't know the name of the spell or if it is a NPC only spell. In such cases, look up the item, then click the "Raw" link. On that page, you should see a "Spell ID" category. Use that number.

However, be sure to check that number first!

This is done via using the same URL as above, but just changing the number. If the the URL takes you to a web page that spell shows up on, go ahead use it!

If no spell comes up or the wrong spell comes up, it may be a good idea not to use it.

Here are some that you may, or may not, want to block:

As a note, you can also block spells for your pet.

UPDATE: You can now block spells via the "EQ Button" (EQ Button -> Character -> Blocked Buffs (or Blocked Pet Buffs).

This option will open a window where you can see what spells (buffs) you have blocked. To remove any that you have blocked, simply right click the buff icon and choose to "Remove this buff."

To add spells (buffs) to your blocked list, you use the "Add by Name" box, by typing in the spell name and hitting the enter button. If you get a message that you need to specify a unique spell name, perhaps you misspelled it, or you did not type in the entire spell name.

Note that using the number (as described above) does not work here, but you can still use the typed command using the number.

How exactly do you use "Audio Triggers" and why bother?

I have a page detailing these, that should answer this question.
