Gear

Necromancer wears Cloth armor. The gear-by-class guide lists exactly what stats to chase and which named mobs and zones drop the pieces you want.

Role weightings drive the coverage bars and the trio scores — the same data the Build Forge uses. EverQuest Legends is new and soloable by design, so treat specifics as a starting point and confirm in-game. The level cap is 50.
