EQ Zera vs eqdps

EQ Zera is a free desktop toolkit for EverQuest Legends, with a live damage and healing meter, overlays, quest tracking, and loot and character tools. It reads the plain-text log written by the game; the site says it does not read game memory, inject into the game, or automate play. The meter reports damage and healing by fight and zone, with history, individual hits, and a timeline. Other tools track quests and quest items, loot history, zone drops, gear upgrades, crafting recipes, and wish lists. It also provides sound alerts, buff and debuff timers, raid target history, XP and AA progress, and death recaps. Pairing a phone opens a live second screen with the meter, run tracker, timers, recent events, and character information. The app can post celebration cards and away alerts to a connected Discord channel, and gets item and mob data from the EQ Legends wiki. It requires 64-bit Windows 10 or 11; Mac and Linux are unsupported. Overlays work in windowed or borderless windowed mode, not exclusive fullscreen. The free plan requires no purchase, account, or sign-in and has no locked features.

eqdps is a graphical EverQuest log parser and damage meter, built primarily for EverQuest Legends. It follows an active log file and can replay recent history, tracking concurrent fights and separating melee, spell, proc, damage-over-time and damage-shield damage. Displays include DPS and SDPS, hit and critical-hit counts, active time, fight filters and expandable combatant details. A separate compact overlay can show the current fight and event timers. The app also reports session XP per hour, progress toward the current level and estimated time to the next level. Users can configure spell-fade, spell-timer, text and regular-expression events, with desktop notifications and sound alerts. Plane of Sky tracking covers quests, items, runes, watched quests and turn-ins. Inventory and Plane of Sky data can optionally be uploaded to eqldb.org. EverQuest Legends is the main compatibility target; other versions may work when their log messages use the same format. The app presents information without modifying or interacting with the game client. It is free for Linux and Windows; Windows builds are not code-signed and may show an Unknown publisher warning.
