A Knight's Guide To: The Plane of Sky [EverQuest Legends Beta]

Storyline / Mission Flow (Plane of Sky)

• This video is a walkthrough for the EverQuest Legends: Plane of Sky personal-instance dungeon.
• You progress through multiple islands in sequence (island 1 → 1.5 → 2 → 3 → 4 → 5/6/7/8), defeating bosses to earn keys that unlock access to the next area.
• After completing the islands, you return to the quest room and trade materials using Wind Runes and class-specific requirements to unlock/complete primary class quests.
• Siren is mentioned as removed from the process; progression now relies on keys/pads and instance travel.

Gameplay / Key Mechanics & Highlights

Access & Entry

• Travel to Plane of Sky from the East Freeport docks (previously required teleporting).
• Shortcut tip (from North Row):
  • Use levitate or a horse, run up a pole, jump to bypass an obstacle, then reach the entrance.
• Entry method:
  • Near a rock, click a shiny orb to enter.

Personal Instance Creation

• Create a solo personal instance:
  • Difficulty: 0
  • Type: solo
• Once inside, progression is managed by pads + keys.

Island 1: Key Master + Easy Early Boss Farm

• Island 1 has a Key Master (acts as a vendor) that sells/awards keys:
  • Key of Swords → access to island 1.5
  • Key of Misfortune → access to island 2
  • Free Disease Key → access to the quest room
• Alternative to buying keys:
  • Defeat Boss 1: Thunder Spirit Princess to farm progression items/keys.
• Strategy notes:
  • Described as one of the easiest bosses in Sky.
  • D0 behavior: bosses may run away, so bring root/snares.
  • Warrior caution:
    • Abilities like Rampage / Warrior’s Leap / taunt can aggro the Key Master (AOEs usually don’t).

---

Island 2: Azraks → Protector of Sky

• Before crossing to island 2:
  • Mobs are aggressive and social, so the narrator recommends invisibility/stealth before clicking the pad.
• Combat:
  • Azraks are rogues (backstab risk), so avoid turning your back.
  • Protector of Sky appears after clearing enough of the island.
• Efficiency:
  • Clear enough to spawn the boss; you can clear the whole island first if you want less roaming risk.
• Key emphasis:
  • Slow IV is critical—without it, fights feel significantly harder.
• Loot:
  • On death/loot, grab the Key of Misfortune for the next island.

---

Wind Runes (Trash Replacement / Bank Space Savings)

• Wind runes replace many trash drops, reducing inventory/bank clutter.
• You can also determine which runes apply from information in the quest room / related entities.
• A Wind rune indicates which class it applies to.

---

Island 3: Gorgolask + Social Adds

• Boss: Gorgolask
• Social adds:
  • Heart Harpy
  • Avenging Gazer
• Recommended QoL composition:
  • Bard passify to reduce add disruption.
• Pulling options:
  • Split pull (e.g., using Feign Death):
    1. Clear winds/adds first
    2. Pull mobs to a safe area
    3. Feign to reset aggro lists
    4. Re-engage boss
  • Or slow all targets and fight in place.
• Danger notes:
  • Gorg bosses have a nasty panic spell that can stun.
  • If bosses use haste-like buffs (e.g., “Feedback/Celerity”), use Nullify Magic to strip buffs (with later noted exceptions).

---

Island 4: Keeper of Souls → Birds (Guardian / Lord)

• Boss: Keeper of Souls (static spawn)
• Strategy:
  • Keeper has long aggro range and is social.
  • Pull from a safer corner (narrator prefers the north side).
  • Boss can run → bring snare/root.
• Next sequence after Keeper:
  • The bird encounter is not fully static anymore:
    • You must kill some trash first to make Guardian spawn, and then proceed until Lord spawns.
  • Kill order becomes flexible after enough trash is removed.
• Guardian & Lord:
  • Both can run → use snare/root again.
  • Both can have buff-like effects → Nullify Magic recommended to strip buffs (use Overchannel to help success rate).

---

Island 5/6: Bee Island (Worst / Most Dangerous Setup)

• After receiving Key of Swarm, you enter the most dangerous island described so far.
• Major threat:
  • Three bees (at least two aggro immediately on zone-in).
• Core requirement:
  • Use invisibility, Feign Death, or invisibility potions before stepping on the pad.
• If not invisible:
  • Aggro happens immediately; the described solution:
    • Feign Death, let aggro reset, then proceed.
• Splitting strategy (emphasized):
  • Best approach: Bard passify + invis, or Pacify + Feign Death to keep bees from joining boss damage.
  • Alternative approach (no pacify/feign route):
    • Pull ads to the east side, lower both bees, then kill both close together to control where sub-bees spawn.
• Boss note:
  • The boss is the largest bee.
  • Killing each bee causes additional bees to spawn (again referencing D0 runaway behavior).
• Loot:
  • Eventually you obtain Key of Scale.

---

Key Rule: Use the Key on the Pad

• The narrator repeatedly stresses:
  • Do not click up in the wrong way without invis/strategic prep on the hardest island.
  • After some islands, once keyed, you can progress with less key management (keys can be consumed via inventory slot/right-click).

---

Island 6: Sister of the Spire

• Entry zone at the start is non-aggressive.
• Boss behavior:
  • Fight where she stands; don’t pull too close to walls or you may draw in Sphinxes/Drakes.
• Important exception:
  • Do NOT use Nullify Magic to strip Sister of the Spire’s buffs in the described pull method.
  • Reason: nearby mobs can reapply buffs and/or heal her after stripping.

---

Island 7: Eye of Veeshan (Proc-Heavy Final-Type Challenge)

• Eye of Veeshan:
  • Non-aggressive initially (“walk right up”).
• Main danger:
  • A melee proc resembling “Soul Devour”-style behavior:
    • On D0 it can deal ~500 damage
    • May triple hit (potentially ~1500 total)
• Mitigation:
  • Mage Hunter reduces proc damage by 50% (500 → 250).
  • Evasive stance + slow reduces proc risk by preventing hits.
• “Cheese” method (for monks):
  • Use Slow (unresistible) + Feign Death to secure debuffs before the fight.
  • Other debuffs (incap/slow) may resist, so Feign Death is used as a reset/retry tool in the opener.
• Loot:
  • Storm Sky Opal drops (class-specific drops are referenced; e.g., druid).

---

Island 1.5: Noble De Jour + Blade Storm Genies

• Accessed via Key of Swords.
• Contains Blade Storm behavior:
  • Still manageable by positioning and pulling from a side to control exposure.
• Priority:
  • Apply slow to Noble first, then slow blade storm adds.
• Loot importance:
  • Noble and the genies yield Afridi weapons needed for quests.
• Genie behavior:
  • Genies here are not aggressive on arrival.

---

Returning / Quest Room Turn-in

• Use the Free Disease Key to enter the quest room via the north pad.
• Inside:
  • Many quest items to trade.
  • Use the wiki to determine which Afridi/Class turn-ins you need.
  • There is a chest acting like a bank for temporary storage.
• Wind rune requirement example (for “Child of the Forest” / druid):
  • Requires:
    • Afridi scimitar
    • Storm Sky Opal
    • The correct Wind Rune
• Quest outcome:
  • Completion unlocks primary class access under Achievements → Classes (via checkmarks).

---

Key Tips / Strategies Recapped

• Travel & entry
  • Go East Freeport docks → walk/shortcut to the Plane entrance.
  • Click the orb near the rock to enter.
• Instance & progression
  • Create a solo personal instance (Difficulty 0).
  • Progress by collecting keys and using them on pads.
  • Siren removed—don’t plan routes around it.
• General combat
  • Slow IV makes Plane of Sky dramatically easier.
  • Bring root/snare for bosses/adds that run on D0.
  • Avoid aggroing key NPCs:
    • Taunt / Leap / Rampage can aggro the Key Master.
• Nullify Magic (buff stripping)
  • Usually recommended for bosses with harmful buffs.
  • Exception: do not strip Sister of the Spire’s buffs using Nullify Magic for the described pull method.
• Island 3 social adds
  • Use Bard passify, or split pull with Feign Death.
• Island 4 bird chain
  • Clear trash until Guardian, then Lord spawns; kill order is flexible after enough trash is cleared.
  • Use Nullify Magic (with Overchannel to help).
• Bee island (hardest)
  • Before “clicking up,” ensure invisibility/invis potions/Feign Death.
  • Split ads from boss using Bard passify or Pacify + Feign Death.
  • If you kill bees incorrectly, more bees spawn—keep ads split away from the boss.
• Eye of Veeshan mitigation
  • Use Mage Hunter (50% proc reduction) and/or Evasive stance.
  • Monk “cheese”: slow → feign to secure debuffs before engaging.
• Quest efficiency
  • Use Wind runes to reduce trash-storage needs.
  • Use the quest room chest (bank) to offload items.
  • Use a wiki for which Afridi to turn in and which Wind Rune each item requires.
