== Equipping an EverQuest Character ==<br />
<br />
There are a lot of items in this game, but only some are useful, and of those only some offer a "sweet spot" of availability/affordability and utility. For instance, you probably won't go out of your way to get an item that adds one more AC (though you'll equip it if you happen to loot it)... but almost everyone buys or quests the {{:Journeyman's Boots}, because the utility of getting to move faster is so huge.<br />
<br />
This page strives to detail such "sweet spot" items, in general. For class-specific gear suggestions, see the appropriate class page, eg. [[Equipping a Druid]] or [[Equipping a Shaman]].<br />
<br />
== Travel ==<br />
<br />
=== Run Speed ===<br />
<br />
==== JBoots ====<br />
By far the most popular EQ travel item is the {{:Journeyman's Boots}} (aka JBoots), which can clicked instantly for a 35% movement speed buff.<br />
<br />
Except for Bards (with [[Selo's Accelerando]]) and Druids/Rangers/Shaman (with [[Spirit of the Wolf]] aka SoW), JBoots are a must-have. Even Druids and Rangers might want a pair, because when you are fleeing a monster and your SoW runs out, being able to click JBoots can save your life . (Shaman have {{:Black Fur Boots}} and Bard songs are instant, so neither needs JBoots.)<br />
<br />
==== Blood of the Wolf (SoW) Potions ====<br />
<br />
Many players also acquire {{:10 Dose Blood of the Wolf}} potions. While they can only be used ten times (typically costing about 10p per use), the increased speed of SoW over JBoots can be valuable in certain circumstances. Also, many rely on SoW potions before they can afford to buy JBoots.<br />
<br />
==== Clockwork Watchman Greaves ====<br />
<br />
Gnomish Clerics and Warriors have access to the {{:Clockwork Watchman Greaves}}, which have a (rechargeable) 10 charges of +40% movement speed. However, the casting time is 4 seconds, the buff only lasts 18 minutes, and recharging requires a {{:Mana Battery - Class Five}} (about 55p, so each use costs about 6p).<br />
<br />
==== Blood Orchid Katana ====<br />
<br />
High-end melee raiders (WAR/PAL/RNG/SHD/BRD/ROG) can acquire the {{:Blood Orchid Katana}} in [[Veeshan's Peak]], which lets them cast Sow (with an 8 second casting time).<br />
<br />
=== Levitation ===<br />

==== Proccing Weapons ====<br />
<br />
Coming soon!<br />
<br />
==== Haste ====<br />
<br />
There are two types of haste items, permanent ("always on") and triggered (aka buff or clicky haste). The [[Haste Guide]] has a more thorough explanation.<br />
<br />
==== Permanent Haste ====<br />
<br />
Every permanent haste item available is listed in the [[Haste Guide#Permanent_Haste_Items | Haste Guide's list]]. However, a few items are especially popular and worth noting.<br />
<br />
The two most popular first haste items for lower-level characters are the {{:Silver Chitin Hand Wraps}} (the most affordable haste item, only available in Velious) and the {{:Flowing Black Silk Sash}} (the most classic early haste item).<br />
<br />
In contrast, the best haste items are NO DROP, and can only be acquired by raiding. However, the most popular droppable high-end haste item is the {{:Cloak of Flames}}. In Velious the (almost as good) {{:Cloak of Crystalline Waters}}) is also a popular choice.<br />
<br />
==== Triggered Haste ====<br />
<br />
Similarly, a list of [[Haste Guide#Triggered Haste Items (Buff Haste)|every triggered haste item]] is also available ...but it's a lot shorter.<br />
<br />
Undoubtedly the most popular option is the {{:Eyepatch of Plunder}}, which is not charged or triggered by a proc, and works for every class/race.<br />
<br />
Monks, Rangers, Bards and Warriors also have popular class-specific options (see their pages for details).<br />
<br />
==== HP Regeneration ====<br />
<br />
Coming Soon!<br />
<br />
{{:Fungus Covered Scale Tunic}}, Fungi, Ikky BP, Zlandicar Heart, Aura of Battle, etc.<br />
<br />
==== Mana Regeneration ====<br />
Coming Soon!<br />
<br />
Flowing Thought I-IV: Mention shawl for attainable FT1 <br />
<br />
==== Global Cooldown Reset (Caster-Only) ====<br />
Coming Soon!<br />

** Pet summons (for faster early-level leveling)<br />
** Root clickies<br />
** Locate Corpse clickies<br />
** Raid Clickies (some items are lesss valuable in normal play, but are valuable for raids)</div>imported>Loramin
