Planes Of Power (PoP) Progression Guide

The Planes of Power was one of the first EverQuest expansions to focus on the progression concept. Much to the dismay of raid leaders at the time!

The basic concept is this: in order to reach the final zones in the expansion, an individual must be "flagged" for these zones by completing raid and group events in the previous zones. Back in the day this complicated progression for guilds - boss mobs that gave the flags when they were killed were on a 3 or 5 day respawn timer so there was a lot of competition for the kills.

These flags are now obsolete. SOE opened up old flag zones so you can get in without the flag now (you just need to be a certain level to get in). However, completing the flag chain will result in AAs along the way and increased stats on the PoP charm.

PoP Progression Overview

Complete these raids and events to finish the PoP flagging quest. Hailing NPCs for pre / post quest flagging may require responding to NPC text.

To get the quest flag after the kill, hail, "a Planar Projection" (despawns 60 seconds after first hail so rez any dead and deal with adds before hailing).

• Pre-quest - hail Mauvin in the Plane of Justice
• Quest task - complete one of the PoJ Trials (single group events)

Notes;

• Most hail parts of the quest are more elabortate than described here.
• Completing kills out of order may result in bugs. Speak to Seer Mal Nae'Shi in PoK and say "unlock my memories" if this happens.
• Most flags result in an AA being awarded.
• Most flags result in stats increase on the PoP charm.
• A lot of these raid events are now doable by a single group - AEs in particular are trivial with current standards of gear. However Elemental Plane and the Plane of Time still offer a challenge.
• Plane of Time is now instanced on a 5 day timer - minimum level to get in without a key is 62.
