Progression

Expansion Progression

Start your epic journey through the original EQ zones with a level 50 cap. Conquer specific encounters in each expansion to unlock access to new zones and level caps. And the best part? Expansion unlocking is account-wide, so all your alts can explore the vast array of leveling zone options.

Classic

Brave young padavan of Norrath, prepare for your first challenges as you set your sights on Lord Nagafen and Lady Vox, the fearsome dragons guarding the entrance to Kunark. While both are formidable foes, Lady Vox is particularly tricky due to her ability to fully heal herself. These dragons are leashed to their dungeon, allowing you to clear out their guards before engaging them in battle. With a full group of adventurers, you can attempt to take them down starting at level 45 with minimal gear. For those daring enough to attempt it, two-boxing them at level 50 is possible but requires top-notch gear.

And while no solo kills of a level 50 have been reported yet, the rewards for defeating these dragons are well worth the effort. Unlock access to Kunark, level up to 60, and gain access to all AA within those levels, including 5AA

Kunark

Embark on a heroic journey through the treacherous lands of Kunark as you set your sights on two formidable foes: Trakanon and Venril Sathir. While neither are insurmountable, they still pose a significant challenge, and a full group can attempt them before reaching level 60. For those daring enough to attempt it, two-boxing them at level 60 with some AA is fairly doable. But the rewards for defeating these dragons are well worth the effort. Unlock access to Velious, the next chapter in your epic adventure, and gain 10 AA to help you on your journey.

And for those truly brave souls, the coveted Epic 1.0 awaits those who can defeat the dragons in Emerald Jungle, Skyfire Mountains, and Dreadlands to obtain their gems. 

Velious

Face your greatest challenge yet as you enter the frozen wastelands of Velious. This expansion is a significant step up in difficulty from the previous ones, and you'll need a full group of skilled adventurers to handle it on your own. To progress, you must defeat one of three mighty foes: Dain, King Tormax, or Lord Yelinak, and additionally Vulak Aer. While Dain is the easiest of the three, you'll need to gear up to take on these formidable foes. A good source of gear is Veksar and the quests in Halls of Testing. Eventually, you'll be ready to face the dragons in NToV, but be warned, the respawn timer for ToV is 4 hours. However, you can get your very own instance of ToV to progress at your own pace, and the instance lasts for 7 days.

And the rewards for defeating these mighty foes are well worth the effort. Unlock access to Lulcin, the next chapter in your epic adventure, and gain 15 AA to help you on your journey. But be warned, the Avatar or War is not part of the progression and is not intended to be killed by a group of 60s. 

Luclin

Prepare to face your greatest challenge yet as you set your sights on Lord Inquisitor Seru and Aten Ha Ra. But to gain access to Vex Thal, you must first defeat Emperor Ssraeshza, a mighty foe who will test the limits of your skills and abilities. And to access the emperor's chamber, you must make the key for every character, as it is not account shared. But fear not, as the rewards for defeating the emperor are well worth the effort.

 Unlock access to the Planes of Power and Lost Dungeons of Norrath, the next chapters in your epic adventure, and gain the ability to level up to 65 with new AAs to help you on your journey. And with 20 AA at your disposal, you'll be well-equipped to take on the challenges that await you. 

Planes of Power

Start your journey through the Planes of Power, but be warned, regular flagging is required to progress. You'll need to obtain all the necessary keys, including the factory key, Screaming Sphere, key to Xegony, and key to Aerin`Dar, to unlock the full potential of this expansion. While the Mystical Arbitor of Earth is a static spawn and does not need to be triggered, the hardest targets for a single group in this expansion are obtaining the Xegony Key and triggering the Avatar of Earth.

 But fear not, as all content in the Planes of Power is doable by a single group, and the trials in the Halls of Honor are modified to be more forgiving. Your ultimate goal is to defeat Quarm, the final boss of this expansion, and unlock the next chapter in your epic adventure: the Gates of Discord. And with 25 AA at your disposal, you'll be well-equipped to take on the challenges that await you.

Once Quarm is defeated on an account, characters on that account can get PoP backflagged by talking to Dwight.

And don't forget to visit Veeshan's Peak 2.0, which is unlocked with PoP and is definitely worth exploring.

Lost Dungons of Norrath

Take on the challenges of Norrath as you explore the group missions and raids that await you. Some of these missions and raids can be accessed directly from Plane of Knowledge, but be, some of the most challenging raids require you to request them at the original location and ensure that everyone in the raid has the adventurer's stone. And while the difficulties of LDoN raids vary, they are generally on par with the Elemental Planes, making them some of the most challenging and rewarding experiences in Norrath. 

Gates of Discord

Use all your skills to succeed your challenging journey through the Gates of Discord, but be warned, regular flagging is required to progress. If you want to tackle this expansion on your own, you'll need have a high skill in tailoring and blacksmithing, as well as a 100 in research. With the help of a seasoned adventurer who has completed this expansion before, you can tackle the Gates of Discord with a minimum of targets to beat. These include Four Sewers or Smith Rondo, Vxed, Tipt, Ikkinz Raid 4, Uqua, Noqufiel, and Zun Muram Tkarish Zyk. Defeating Zun Muram Tkarish Zyk will grant you 10 AA, but the ultimate challenge awaits you in the form Tunat Muram Cuu Vauax. Defeating this mighty foe will grant you 30 AA and mark the end of the currently available progression. 

Omens of War

Omens of War, the highly anticipated expansion that will unlock level 70 and bring new challenges to Norrath. Currently in development, this expansion is expected to become available in the coming season, and promises to be the most exciting and challenging expansion yet. With new zones to explore, new enemies to face, and new gear to obtain, Omens of War will test the limits of your skills and abilities.
