I run four accounts, each with their own set of files. Long ago (circa 2003) when I tried running multiple accounts from the same EQ files folder I had issues with zoning and saving files. Since then I've always had a separate folder (and EQ files directory) for every account on the computer...

I agree with Hylander, setting eqclient.ini to read-only will prevent unexpected and often unwanted changes. Keep in mind you have done this, or be frustrated when you move a window years later and keep wondering why it is back where it started. Not asking for a friend.

Best place (or one of the most useful in my opinion) for finding best in slot gear: https://www.raidloot.com/items For example, you asked about a bow for level 68 ranger...

/played time on main character is 366 days 2 hours. Created 20 Dec 2001. This doesn't include all other alts or characters created before this one. That's roughly 1 year of my life over the past 20 years, or on average 72 minutes a day for two decades. Of course, the vast majority of that was in...

I'll be giving Lost Ark a try but I have a sneaking suspicion that it won't last for me. Update: I was correct.

How sizes of mugs are measured where I'm from. That mug is 7.75" or ~20 cm tall, holding 0.4 gal or 1.5 L. You can upgrade to a real mug later. 🍺🥳 What do I really use it for? It sits on my office desk and collects business cards.

Yes, there are clearly preferred builds that work well and you can easily find those and follow or modify suggestions from the website. However, I like finding my own talent specs that work with often odd or unique items. For me, it is not about map clearing speed, or reaching max (near max)...
