My favorite EverQuest item is the Can o' Whoop Ass.

I love this item because it is sort of a legendary item that is unobtainable - and of course because the name is a bit inappropriate for a family friendly game!  I started playing in 2004 and have never seen this item in game.  I remember reading somewhere that it was given out by Game Masters for a very short time, but I can't verify this.

If you've been around here very long you've probably discovered placeholder links that link to this item on pages that are under construction / new content being built.  I love to use this items link as an item link placeholder while building content.

I love playing my Chanter.  I have only been playing since 2010 when my husband got me started, but I quickly learned to love this class!.  I have tried others and just don't get the same enjoyment from playing them.  As far as I am concerned it is the most versitile class - just needs more dps.

Favorite?  Can I claim two three? 

If we're talking enchanter items I'm going with the Unearthed Belt (and my apologies, I don't see how to turn that into an EQResource link...).  MUCH faster than BDB or Mem Blur when a pull brings that unseen additional mob with him.  Watching that assisting mob stop dead in his tracks, turn around, and simply walk away just never gets old.  Sure, it's totally useless now other than that effect, especially with raid gear pieces having around 20 times the stats.  But that clicky effect?  Just plain fun.

But a favorite for another reason would be one that I got for my old druid more years ago than I really want to admit (have I REALLY been playing this game for a quarter century?).  He was my first real toon, and the Paw of Opolla was the first "serious" quest I did in EQ, at least the first one this old mind remembers.  The stats were AMAZING - 5 mana, for goodness' sake! And 9 wisdom!  Who wouldn't want that!    I still have it tucked away in the bank, just for memory's sake - although I should probably wrap it in plastic or something.  The bankers are starting to complain about the smell.

[Edited to add:  And my semi-unobtainable Gnomish Troutshocker, for flinging dead fish at my guild's raid leader in return for his evil desire to see the entire guild in large corpse piles...  It was an award for an in-game contest a while back, and I've no idea if they still give them out or not.]

I'm going to break my favorites out into categories.

My favorite weapon appearance is pre-animation nerf Dragonkiller - https://items.eqresource.com/items.php?id=71672.
The whip had such a cool look and I liked the whip animation before they removed it and now it's a sad whip that just stays in the hand.

My favorite armor appearance is an item I requested and gave design input to MasterMagnus and he created in Hero Forge (miss you Hero Forge client) is Bloodthirsty Robe Ornament - https://items.eqresource.com/items.php?id=108956

My favorite item for usability, being an enchanter main, I have to agree with Medimus. The Unearthed belt is great - https://items.eqresource.com/items.php?id=109795

My favorite item name is of course Doljonijiarnimorinar - https://items.eqresource.com/items.php?id=25595

My all-time favorite item is The Timeshear - https://items.eqresource.com/items.php?id=42884
Not necessary for the item itself, but the memories it holds. Seeds of Destruction held some of the best times of my Everquest life. The expansion was massive, had so much to do, it was my entrance to high-end raiding and I have so many fond memories of good times with friends who were alongside me while assembling the Timeshear.

Like everyone else, it's hard to chose just one.
But I will say overall, my favorite item is the original insta-cast Mana Stone.
I have had mine for over 20 yrs now, and still remember how invaluable it was back in the day when we had to run and swim to our dead bodies, doing corpse recovery naked and dodging mobs to get there. I have always played an Enchanter, and once the rezzes were done I could hit that thing a bunch of times and get everyone buffed and back up pretty quick.
I have played EQ for 25 yrs, and still raid weekly with my guild Machin Shin.
I love EQ and hope it never dies. The lore and history and depth make it the best game there has ever been imo.
I would really appreciate being considered for this sign to hang on my office wall where my gaming box and monitors are, it would fit right in my all my memorabilia hanging all over the walls. Things like original maps from the CD box sets, and pictures of raid highlights thoughout the years, various figurines, and lets not forget the ever sexy Firiona Vie lol.
Whomever wins, gratz to you, and I know you will enjoy it what a cool prize !!
And thank you EQ Resource for being the go to site for all of us that play hard and use your site constantly. The site is easy to navigate, has what we need, and has become a staple and must have.
Good luck everyone !!

I've been in EQ since 2001, and my very first character was a ranger, which I still have. I eventually  joined a raiding guild as our original guild went dormant. The new guild was in need of enchanters. So I made one, I had a great mentor who showed me the ropes etc., and she's been my main since then.  I think my proudest first moment was when she got her first set of raid armor, the Romar's set. It made me feel as though I belonged.

Fiery Avenger. Still remember seeing the pic of Musk on Everlore using the first one ever completed and being in awe.
