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.Read more
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,/shoutor 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,/targetover impossible distances when/nav spawnwould 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

Zlandi group missions drops them every time and is doable with a solid group of 3 toons/mercs. Also, when camping the tunnels for named, been seeing one every couple of ours besides the ones that the names can drop. Zlandicar is key really, think all my toons are sitting with a bunch of extra ones at this point mostly due to his “generosity”. 
I second this as this mission isn’t difficult just annoying. After that even though you’ll die a lot at first Ary is the next easiest. You have to figure out mechanics but overall it’s easier than crusaders.

tried any what? Missions? I didn’t know you could med between dragons (except for the last one). I’ve been blowing through all four dragons + vulak back to back to back to back to back without mana issues, but if you try the achievements I go OOM. I’ve been hitting staunch for those times. Next time I’ll just sit down between dragons lol.

I’ve done all four. Using the tips and tricks here, I’ve also done all the achievements. The only achievement my six box needed help with was Skin Care, since the tank can’t do it and I don’t have a second tank with CoV access.
They are all pretty easy, and definitely boxable, for a group of chars that are developed to the point of being CoV ready (115, all pre-CoV AAs, ToV T3+ gear, etc.).
The Call: Save burns for Vulak. Kill the first 4 dragons with non-burn dps and then bust out the big guns on Vulak in the middle so that he dies before the golems can explode. There's very little you can do to delay the golems, they're essentially a timer.
Crusaders: It's all about picking the right dragon to kill first. Each dragon has a unique AOE ability. The one that dies first adds his unique ability to the other 3. You must have good non-burn dps such that you can kill all 4 and stay ahead of the mechanics.
Zlandicar: Burn it all in under 45seconds, easy
Aaryonar: DON'T TOUCH THE AURAS! seriously, just don't even bother. Heal through the dots. Tank the orbs (do not try to put them in their auras). Kill grolik fast. Win.
Easy 4 ores per cycle if you have solid dps that can keep up with mechanics.

Try running a glyph on your tank

the main tank is raid geared and fine. The second tank is FTP, no expansions purchased, in tier 1 ToV freebie gear. No way he’s tanking that, with or without glyph.
You're getting a lot better results than I. Named are dropping them, but hardly enough to get 33+ in a day (minus those you would get from running Zlandi a few times).
Edit to add I'm not routinely running the other missions, but even at 12 of those a day I'm not getting named to spawn enough to make up the difference (nevermind the drop rate isn't 1:1 either).
What named are you camping ? CS named are very common way more than the WW ones.
I haven't tracked specific numbers, but I'd say 1 in 3 at best.
Skyshrine and Dragon Necropolis are my zones of choice at the moment, but I'm mainly grinding for AAs to max out a couple characters.

It's definitely a noticeable reduction, but not completely horrible.
can do still - just more rare

I’ve been farming the efreeti’s in ww to spawn blasphemous steel but plenty of ore’s just dropped right off the regular efreetis I don’t know how common this is but I looted 3 ores within an hour off non named efreetis
Very rarely, in ~30,000 kills I got 4 and apparently that was a decent rate. Unless they stealth buffed it back up, I haven’t been in CoV for a few days now.
