What it is
PQ Companion is a free Windows desktop companion built specifically for the Project Quarm game server. It combines a searchable game database, DPS meter, spell timers, NPC overlay, combat history, player database, progression tools, and custom alerts. The meter tracks live player and group damage, attributes pet and charm damage to their owners, and creates summaries that can be copied to chat. Live Maps use zone data from game files to show player positions, annotations, and NPC spawn points, with support for user-installed Brewall-style map packs. With the Zeal mod installed, the app reads live state through a local Windows pipe, including target health, pet name, group health, and casting state. It reads game logs and Zeal exports without modifying the game client or data. Combat history stays in local SQLite storage and can be exported as a .pqcb bundle. Alerts can appear onscreen, use local sound, or provide text-to-speech. Windows 10 or 11 is required.
