• Hail, we're RedGuides. We want you to play six (yes, 6!) EverQuest characters at once. We have scripts and a friendly community to help, please join our playstyle and say hello! 👋
  • We've added LLM sections to our Terms & Rules and Resource Rules, for everyone's sanity & in-game safety.

    a. Do not replace your voice with an LLM. This goes for your posts and your scripts. Drafting and editing with a tool is fine, but don't take you out of what you share.
    b. Do not replace your EQ character's voice with an LLM. We don't want scripts that speak over /ooc, /shout or other public channels. This has been an unwritten rule that's kept casino scripts off the site for decades, but we're now compelled to make it clear: keep automated communication private.

    Why Does RG Review Scripts?
    Nearly every LLM-written Lua script we see is making your character do impossible things, and rarely in a way that's beneficial to you. We've seen heavy server hammering, /target over impossible distances when /nav spawn would passively accomplish the same thing, a spawn search that fires 20+ times per second, and other pointless actions that are likely annoying GMs.

    You are welcome to use LLMs as a tool to structure, draft, and edit your work, but please read critically before hitting /lua run

So, I'm running a MNK/SHM/MAG combo. My question is should I be tanking with my monk and using a water pet for DPS or Pull with my monk and use an Earth Pet to tank?
 
I imagine you are talking about just group stuff. Probably should pull with monk and use earth pet to tank. Would help if I knew what levels and what level mobs youre talking about though. Killing single mobs you probably are not going to notice that big of a difference in water / earth pet dps if mobs are dying in 30 secs or less.
 
The chars are around lvl 12 now, just hitting UR now. I'm just trying to figure out the most efficient way possible to level.
 
ok this just got weird. Level 12? I havent played a level 12 charactor since maybe 1999. I defer to RHB! :)
 
Lol, I just got back into it a few weeks ago. I'm guessing the earth pet will be more for named. I haven't had any trouble tanking with my monk at the present moment.
 
Mage pets are massively overpowered on regular servers at low levels. TLP less so.

Tiny tip: you can give them the level 70-80 mage summoned armor and jewelry (anything which does not have required level works, pets ignore recommended levels for armor)

Spectral is even better: http://everquest.allakhazam.com/db/spell.html?spell=26745

Jewelry Zabellas:

Finally add level 62 mage summoned Fists of ixiblat and your newbie pets will be monsters.

So make friends with a higher mage :)

If you got those summons then the fire pet will be most DPS at low levels because it gets a very nice dmg shield.

As an experiment i was killing deep reds with this "twinked" fire pet from lev 10-50.
A couple hours of killing reds(yellows would be faster/better xp) and you should be 50.

After level 50 you want to go Earth/Air/Water

At 105 Air is good all around pet, but Earth is the beefiest while Water is most dps, so you might want to switch depending on target.
