I lost my original EQ box ages ago and I'm looking for the original manual that came with it. Not the trilogy edition, Velious, or Kunark manuals but specifically the one that came with the original EQ. This is surprisingly hard to find.
Does this help? Its not a copy you can buy but you could print it out. https://www.jeremiahstillings.net/naroggsplace/eq_manual.pdf Its from this: https://forums.daybreakgames.com/eq/index.php?threads/old-eq-manuals.244219/ This one is for sale and looks to be the original with manual https://www.ebay.com/itm/1861456682...Sjc++jPhfx37YXpfkKfiD7VzUg|tkp:Bk9SR9bdzKuEYw
It's the Velious manual The one I'm looking for has the spells that never made it into the game like Winged Courier.
That is a cool idea. DPG could add to the website a historical archive that has the PDFs of the original boxed content.
No luck finding it here. This is one step closer though (Kunark manual): https://archive.org/details/eqrokajskldguf/page/n9/mode/2up By the way, Winged Courier was in the game at launch but was removed soon after. I know because my first character (on FV server) got ganked by Pyzjn and a nice half-elf druid looted my corpse (because that's what /consent did back then) and used Winged Courier to return my stuff. It was probably a newbie robe and some malachites, heh.
I found mine. The only list of spells I see shows the first 2 that casters start with, like Minor Shielding. Would have purchased in Oct or Nov 1999 so maybe mine isn't original enough?
