I came back! After two years in WoW and a short time in Vanguard and LoTRO, I have returned to being a druid on The Rathe. Guess its that 7 year itch or the 7th year anniversary edition.

When quests with question marks or rings over their head come so easy, you forget about the lil ole /hail command. AND needing to read the NPC quest text and remember to respond to phrases in parentheses.

I had forgotten though how truly involved Everquest can be. So many things to do and so little time. But, I am having a blast discovering it all again.

Being a druid is awesome, I forgot how I like to port around from place to place. All my characters and loot were there even after a two year hiatus from the game. Also, people I had known in game where still playing.

Of course, they are level 75 and Im still level 65!

Having a Blast on The Rathe.

This is a pretty good summary of the game (as is today ) . However if you try to play with Minimal PC requirements you will hate the game . As a sixth year player I have like all the expansions except The Buried Sea . My Favorite would have to be the Serpents Spine . But if you are returning I think most players will be amazed at most of the new content and zones . Some of the old world zones have also been redone and look much nicer . To all those returning Norrath Welcomes you , Have fun and go kill a dragon or somethin :) . laterz

I've been gone a very long time and I was considering coming back. But before I do, there's one question I'd love to have answered and I cannot find the answer anywhere.

If I purchase a passive AA that has a minimum level, do I still get its effects if I were to die and de-level below that minimum level?

As an example - if I were to purchase Combat Fury at rank 1 at level 55 and then die and de-level down to level 54... do I still have access to the AA? Or is it no longer active?

Yes, I realize that I could get a rez and get my level back, but that's not the point! If you know the answer to my question, please e-mail me at bogakbridgetaker@yahoo.com or reply here. Thanks!

If I remember correctly, yes. But if you wanted to do that for, say, PVP it is horrifically ineffective, for the relatively minor boost you gain you loose hours and hours of play time.

I believe YCHIR answered this but just to be sure.

You do not keep any AAs or skill levels when you de-level. I de-leveled my Rogue for Essence Emeralds for my Necromancer from 58 to 46. She lost her AAs both active and passive and her skills (1 hand slash and piercing for example)
were brought down to what a level 46 player would have access to.

Thanks for the very handy info!

Unfortunately, very hard to find all the more recent expansions, especially since the Anniversary edition isn't sold outside the US apparently. No mention of it on Amazon UK, and the US site won't sell it outside of the US.

I'm still in doubt though, might just reinstall my old cd's and take a look around.

But again, very good info!

Never thought of that, there are several copies for sale still. I'll think about it, thanks for the tip!

Not sure if this was addressed already, and it's probably a dumb question, but as a returning EQ player after a three year break, I was wondering about the mana regen cap. I remember back in the day it was capped at 15 from items, and then there were AAs to get it up higher. Is it still capped at 15, or has it been raised in the last few years?

And on that same note, is there a hp regen cap?

And, while I'm rolling here, what is the buff cap? I believe this one also used to be 15 at one point, or possibly less, but what is it at now, without the AAs?

If you feel like elaborating, please feel free to post any other caps (damage shield, stat caps, stuff like that) that i may have forgotten. :)

Mana regen is still capped at 15 without AA.
There is no cap on hit point regen as far as I am aware.
Buff cap is still the same without AA.
