Can anyone suggest where I can find a good place to find a Beginners guide? I havent played in over 6 years and I'm totally lost.

Well let me see here...

  • There is the Stickie you missed on this very forum under the post titled Just Starting? Been Away and Returning? Read Here

  • New to the Game?
  • a pile of Commands


  • Just use your Search Engine and search for Everquest Returning Player's strategy guild or browse through alla's and take your time. Took you years to learn the game, a day or two reviewing links or websites to familiarize yourself once again is not that much to expect.

    By far, the stickied thread, and running the in-game tutorial are the best bets for learning the very basics of the game, as well reading the included manuals (see below). Other than what Tripodvi has said, here are some other links.

    Maybe this thread, but not positive on good it is, I never went to the link, but replies gave it favorable reviews.

    All EQ related WIki Pages might be useful. The Wikibase link to the left is a shorter list and probably a better one to start with, but use the other if you don't find what you're looking for there.

    Do the in-game Tutorial it will get you a long way on the user interface features and how to manipulate your toon and interact with the EQ world.

    If, when you get around to tradeskills, EQ Traders is an awesome site, but some of their Learn a Skill articles are out dated now with some of the particular tradeskill revamps, but they still give a good idea on the mechanics of tradeskills, even if the example recipes are out of date.

    Thread about game terms and abbreviations.

    An overview of the quest system(s).

    Overview of Instanced Zones.

    There are user manuals that come with the game and can often be found online as well. Here are the names of soem of them:
    • everquest_manual.txt
    • eqmanual_supplement.txt
    • eqmanual_supplement.doc
    • Darkhollow_Manual.pdf
    • Omens_MANUAL.pdf
    • Gates_Manual.pdf
    • TSS_Manual.pdf
    • The_Buried_Sea_Manual.pdf
    • Secrets_of_Faydwer_Manual.pdf


    List of Patch Notes for last 4 or 5 expansions.

    **** EDIT ****
    EQ Atlas (mirror site) - good source for printable maps (not in-game maps, as the rest of the links are about) Mirror in case EQAtlas is still down.

    Fixed link destroyed from Forum=2 being merged with Forum=1: Added EQAtlas mirror
