Motes have a chance to drop from any monster killed.  The higher the difficulty of the zone will increase the minimum level of the mote that will drop.  Killing mobs of a higher level (yellow or red) will also increase the chance of motes dropping.  Additionally, the player's level will affect the level of the motes that drop - at level 15, the highest that will drop in a Difficulty 4 is a Tier 3 mote.

The Spell Upgrade System is a core new feature introduced in EverQuest Legends. This was introduced in Beta but adjustments and improvements are still being added (as of 7/31/2026). Additionally the exact impact on spells is still being tested. Details on this page may not be entirely accurate and prone to change in the near future.

All spells can be upgraded from a starting tier of 0, to a max tier of 10. You do this with motes though Spell Upgrading. The system is similar to item upgrades, but there is no option other than motes for upgrading spells.

Upgrading Spell Tiers

Spells are upgraded using motes, each mote gives a fixed amount of experience towards upgrading the spell. More details about finding and using motes can be found in the Mote Guide.

Experience Required to Upgrade
Spell Tier Experience
0 1
1 2
2 4
3 8
4 16
5 32
6 64
7 128
8 256
9 512
