Welcome back.
Cpl more things.
Do the tutorial if u haven't, it will really help you relearn the basics and some new features very quickly.
Advloot window is /Advl This is a serious pain in the ass to learn and might take a bit. but it is really worth it. I generally just top box to Loot All, bottom box to Always need. then flip to Loot Settings on bottom left and turn everything on except Confirm Remove Item Filter. this should help u loot a bit easier... the Edit Filters box has your search in it. U can look for and set things directly as u want here.
Overseer... this is a catch-up mechanic.. its
/overseer. It is Usable on each account, its account-wide. Its good for free bonus experience and has some other features in it like collections which can save u a bundle down the road as well. It will Take some time to learn but its a nice feature.
Maps... these are good. the in-game one isn't bad anymore. It has some cool features like "Zone Guide" on top right. U can use this to find any zone you want. and bottom left has "Find". this is really nice. Just a heads up... the RG one is 1000x better. Once you learn how to use this and the Find etc u are gonna be laughing. ( nothing like grabbing a drink, chatting with your friends online and watching your toons run to where they need to be.
RG is awesome it really enhances game-play. All those tiny details that were time consuming become much more enjoyable and manageable.
The Site rocks and the people here are really amazing, like everyone else has said.
Remember 2 things. play nice is always the way and Play to enjoy yourself. Whatever Group design you make, don't be afraid to change it if it isn't working or isn't as enjoyable as you want. There are all kinds of fun little things and sometimes a little change can make it so much more fun.
I know heroic toons are great, they expedite your play at the start. Personally I'd hold off, relearn what you want to play and get a group that plays the style you are able to really sink your teeth into and enjoy, then maybe take a look at heroic toonage as an enhancement and change of scene. It will take a while to really get into the RG mechanics and that's so much easier at lower levels. Just my own preference. that and it will lower your cost while u figure things out. Also Subbing allows you to wear prestige gear and augs and gives you the opportunity to use the Auto Grant AA ability ( Top right corner, little box of AA Panel " V " for that ). While you are lower level and relearning, this is another cost saver to start... you really only need your tank to have that opened up. At higher level this will change, but there's time before that where its really just a cash burn. Tank aas = better tanking. If u can tank it, u can kill it. might be slower but let's be honest, you came back to everquest... you already understand fully this is a grind lol. Why rush. just enjoy it for what you remember it as and for the new things they've added.
I normally type like 30 seconds... guess i'm feeling chatty today.
Do not be afraid to use this site as a resource, honestly. it's the best site going. best people best info and it has it's own Sic
All the very best and again, WB. have a great time
