What is Very Vanilla?
A compilation of multi-boxing software for EverQuest. It's based on MacroQuest, which is needed to run plugins and scripts you find on RedGuides.

What is MacroQuest?
MacroQuest is free and open source scripting software that makes EverQuest more functional, bringing unique and modern MMORPG features to the classic game. Learn more in the MacroQuest docs.

Is this allowed?
No.
We want Very Vanilla to gain acceptance within the EQ community, so we designed it work only on servers that allow multi-boxing, and we don't allow game-breaking hacks or cheats. You can help us gain acceptance by:
- Staying at your keyboard.
- Being considerate of other players, socializing, and grouping.

What are some fun things I can do with Very Vanilla?
That's a big topic! Let's start with some simple functions:
- Follow the REDGUiDES.NFO for beginner's directions to multi-box a full group.
- Automatically log in all of your characters with one click.
- Read the beginner's guide to the KissAssist macro, so you can begin a multi-boxing group.
- Need to find someone in the zone? Type,
/mqtarget playernameand then/face. This also works for NPC’s./mqtarget King Xorbb - Get a notification whenever a rare spawn is up, check out MQ2SpawnMaster for more info.
- Run a macro from the macro section, and start it with /macro.
- Run a plugin from the plugin section, and load it with /plugin.
- Run a Lua script from the Lua section, and start it with /lua run.
- Make KissAssist handle all your clickies and buffs, so you can focus on playing. After setting up KissAssist, just target yourself and type
/mac kissassist manualand then/buffsonand you'll have full control over everything, but your toon will do all your clickies and buffs for you.
Troubleshooting
- Before reporting an issue, make sure EverQuest is up to date, and then make sure Very Vanilla is up to date (click Easy Update in redfetch). EverQuest patches break Very Vanilla.
- For issues with the installer / updater software, please see the redfetch thread for help.
