EQ Legends Companion beta

EQ Legends Companion

A Windows app for EverQuest Legends. A DPS meter, optional floating overlays, quest and loot tracking, and sound alerts.

Download for Windows

Latest release. Windows 10/11. One-click install, no admin prompt. ✓ signed

It only reads your log. Nothing is injected into EverQuest. No game files are touched, no memory is read, and nothing is played for you. Turn logging off and the app has nothing to show.

What it does

Live DPS meter

The meter reads your log as you play. Click a fight to see every hit, miss and resist that made the number. Switch to Overall to see your damage profile across the entire zone. Is Slay Undead worth it? How much damage does Backstab do over the night?

Charm pets are counted correctly, too. We take great pains to get that right.

Fight timeline

The whole pull on one timeline, a lane per skill. Where the damage landed, what missed, what got resisted, and when. Scroll to zoom, drag to pan, Fit to snap back.

Optional floating overlays

Small meters that sit on top of the game. Damage or healing, plus an event log, scoped to the current fight or the whole zone.

Requires EverQuest to be in borderless mode for overlays.

Plane of Sky tracker

Every class's Test quests, and how close you are to finishing each one. Hover an item to read its stats. Sort by closest to done and you can see which quest is actually in reach.

Loot and item knowledge

A running list of what you looted, and what each item is actually for. Which quests take it, who you hand it to, which recipes eat it.

Sound alerts and voice packs

Play a sound when something happens. A charm break, a buff dropping, a raid target dying, or any log line you care to write a rule for. New alerts can be created straight from what just happened in your log, so you rarely have to write a trigger by hand. One voice pack ships with the app and installs itself. About 350 more install from inside it.

An alert copies to a short paste-safe string. Drop one in guild chat, and whoever pastes it back gets a preview before anything is added. Imports only add.

Raid targets

Track your progress against raid targets and have fun pushing your character to its limits. EQ Legends Companion is aware of tiers of difficulty and tracks your kill progression for every raid target.

Leveling and AA

XP and AA per character, with history. Earned, spent and unspent. Tracked automatically from your logs.

  • Buff timers early, still rough Time left on your buffs, learned from the log.
  • Per character Everything is per character. Switch, and the app re-reads that log.
  • Share your setup Export alerts, volume, overlay look and view preferences as one string. It carries no file paths, no window positions, no progress.
  • Updates itself New builds download in the background from GitHub Releases.

Getting started

  1. 1

    Download and run the installer. It is a one-click, per-user install, like Discord. No admin prompt, no wizard. You get a Start menu and a desktop shortcut. It needs 64-bit Windows 10 or 11 — on Windows 8.1 or older the installer stops and tells you, instead of leaving an app that cannot start.

  2. 2

    In EverQuest, type /log on.

  3. 3

    That is it. The app finds your log on its own, usually under …\EverQuest Legends\Logs\. If your install lives somewhere else, point it at the right folder in Settings — it attaches immediately, and if you have not typed /log on yet it attaches the moment you do.

  • Mac (CrossOver)

    The Companion is a Windows app, and it runs under CrossOver alongside the game. Install it into the same bottle as EverQuest Legends — that is what lets it find …\EverQuest Legends\Logs\ on its own. If the installer claims the app is already running when it is not, force-quit the bottle (CrossOver → the bottle's Force Quit, or wineserver -k) and run it again. From the next release the installer detects Wine and skips that check automatically, so this should stop happening.

Who built this

I'm Josh. I have been building software for about 22 years. I'm the CTO at Encamp, an environmental compliance platform. Before that I ran engineering at Sococo, a virtual office that carried millions of audio minutes a week.

I have been playing EverQuest since I was 15. I'm 41 now. I do not miss corpse runs, but I do miss sitting on a camp half the night waiting for a named to pop, and this app is partly an excuse to go back.

I'm telling you this because you are about to run an installer from someone on the internet. The source is on GitHub under my name, the license is MIT, and the only file the app opens is your log. You can go read that part yourself.

Thanks

This app does not know much on its own. Almost everything it can tell you about items, quests and drops was written down by someone else first.

eqlwiki.com
The item data, quest catalog, spell list and Plane of Sky tables all come from the EverQuest Legends Wiki. Thank you to its editors for the documentation work and the content they publish — this app is mostly a lens over it.
wiki.project1999.com
The raid target portraits come from the Project 1999 wiki. Twenty years of people writing down what drops where, for free. Thank you.
