Default New to P99, but not new to EQ

I just started a new Gnome(Plaguebringer) Wiz on Blue, the name is Byrnard and so far I am digging it.
A few ?'s:
- My FOV seems a bit way too zoomed in at my native resolution of 1440x3440. Is that just how Gnome's see? Or is there a FOV fix that I need to apply.
- Any links to basic commands, quality of life tips n tricks, and UI skins?
- Welcomed any Wiz strat's and tips with them. [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]
- Chat windows and filters? any tips there?

Anyways I'm sure I'll have more to add later.

Stay questin! [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

Dont forget strafe running is faster from running from mobs. Diagonal running is fastest.

Not sure about the field of view question. The default clipping plane might be low due to the install is set for a window 98 computer. That be should turned up all the way or whatever fits best.

Wizards are slow until they get good for a caster. But casters are the best of all classes so it doesn't matter much. They get good AOE snare and AOE damage and should be decent at farming some things.

You will need to set your viewport to a 4:3 aspect ratio to make the game good.

Also since you are on blue I would reccomend a good UI like DUXA ui which will fix a lot of your problems too.

Search around for info on the viewport commands.

Game does NOT play nice with UltraWide res. I'm also running 3440x1440 and I've basically just learned to lay within the constraints of the decreases vertical FOV. The UltraWide immersion is just too good for me to play with black bars on both sides of the playspace.

I searched around on EQinterface and couldn't find the UI, is it somewhere else?

I don't remmeber where I got it. Search this forum there should be a link. Definitely change aspect ratio to 4x3 put your text boxes in the black spaces you can see a lot more in 4x3 mode.

Perfect thank you!

Also, what resolution is the proper 4x3 aspect ratio? 800x600?

If you wanted 4x3 taking the full vertical of a 3440x1440 monitor, 1920x1440. You don't necessarily have to do 4x3 either; e.g. people playing in 16x9 (2560x1440) often don't seem to notice the distortion.
