About EverQuest Legends Wiki

EverQuest Legends Wiki is a community‑driven knowledge base dedicated to documenting the world, systems, mechanics, and evolving content of EverQuest Legends™ (EQL), an EverQuest experience developed Daybreak Game Company in collaboration with independent studio Game Jawn. Our purpose is to provide players with an accurate, organized, and continually updated reference for everything found in the EverQuest Legends game.

Our Origins

The EQLegends Wiki project began on March 26, 2026, when three community members — Caliente, Eain, and Maergoth — formed the initial admin team. From the beginning, our goal was to build a high‑quality, reliable wiki that would be ready for players at launch, without requiring years of groundwork before it became useful.

EQL is a newly reimagined version of classic EverQuest from its original release in 1999. Featuring all the fun magic and nostalgia of the original game, EQL is also packed with tons of new features and quality of life enhancements. Because of this shared foundation, our team explored ways to accelerate the creation of a comprehensive wiki without reinventing the wheel.

This led us to the Project 1999 (P99) Wiki, a community‑maintained resource that has documented classic EverQuest since 2009.

Why We Forked the P99 Wiki

The P99 Wiki contains an enormous amount of classic EverQuest information — quests, zones, NPCs, items, maps, and more — much of which overlaps with the early content expected in EverQuest Legends. We knew that starting from scratch would have required thousands of hours of work before the wiki would be more useful to players than currently available resources.

To avoid this, we sought clarity and community approval from the P99 wiki maintainers and contributors. They confirmed that:

The P99 Wiki has no formal owner and is maintained by the community
P99 staff do not claim ownership of the wiki; they simply host it
A public endorsement from contributors was appropriate and welcomed

A public thread titled “EQ Legends – P99 Wiki Request” was posted on the P99 forums on March 30, 2026, inviting feedback from contributors. The responses were overwhelmingly supportive, with contributors encouraging the fork as long as:

The process was considerate (e.g., throttled scraping, DB export)
Proper credit was given and the P99 community’s work was acknowledged

This community‑level approval, combined with direct confirmation from an active maintainer, established that we were in the clear to proceed.

Our Commitment to Credit and Transparency

We owe a massive thank‑you to the Project 1999 Wiki community. Their decade of work documenting classic EverQuest provided the foundation that made this project possible.

We acknowledge:

P99 contributors for their years of effort
The P99 Wiki for serving as the structural and informational springboard for our initial content
The P99 community for publicly supporting this "fork" and encouraging its use

This wiki would not exist in its current form without their contributions, and we will always preserve that credit.

How the Fork Works

Our initial import includes classic EverQuest content from the P99 Wiki, but EverQuest Legends is not Project 1999, and the two projects will diverge significantly over time.

To ensure accuracy and clarity:

1. Verified EQL Content

We will review every page to confirm whether the information matches EverQuest Legends. Verified pages will be updated to reflect EQL’s mechanics, itemization, NPC's, and zone design.

2. Content Requiring Adjustment

Guides, mechanics explanations, and other interpretive content will be updated or rewritten to reflect EQL’s systems or removed altogether if and when appropriate.

3. P99‑Specific Content

Anything that applies only to Project 1999 — P99‑specific instructions, P99‑exclusive mechanics, P99-exclusive items and item variants etc. — will be removed.

4. Edit History Preservation

Where possible, we retain edit histories, to preserve contributor credit and transparency.

From EverQuest to EQL

Game Jawn has been granted creative freedom by Daybreak to:

Add new zones, quests, and storylines
Introduce custom mechanics
Modernize systems while retaining classic aesthetics
Expand the world as a newly imagined version of EverQuest

Our wiki will evolve alongside the game, documenting both the familiar and the entirely new.

A Living, Community‑Driven Project The EverQuest Legends Wiki is a collaborative effort. Anyone is welcome to contribute — whether by correcting data, adding new discoveries, writing guides, or helping maintain structure and clarity.

We especially welcome:

EverQuest Legends players
Classic EQ veterans
P99 contributors who wish to update or adapt their original work for EQL

All contributions must reflect EverQuest Legends as it exists moving forward.

This is a new project, a new game, and a new community — and our wiki will grow with it.

Our Mission Moving Forward

Our long‑term goals are to:

Maintain the most accurate and complete reference for EQL
Document new content as it is released
Preserve the classic spirit of EverQuest while embracing the unique direction of EQL
Provide a welcoming, collaborative environment for contributors
Honor the legacy of the P99 Wiki while forging our own identity

EverQuest Legends Wiki is built on the past, shaped by the present, and prepared for the future of this evolving game world.
