Rewards go beyond free gameplay with the highly anticipated launch of the upcoming EverQuest® II Fight with Legends recruitment campaign, scheduled to begin in early July. Not only can players earn up to 20 months of free gameplay, but also the chance to play with their friends in?game, utilizing the Mentoring System to receive an added bonus experience boost. This is your chance to teach less experienced "legends" the ways of Norrath and be rewarded for your dedication.

The mentoring system allows new players to become an Apprentice and learn the ins and outs of EverQuest II by teaming up with their higher-level friends. Experienced players can act as a Mentor to their lower-level allies, playing alongside them and helping them advance faster. It allows friends to play with friends, regardless of level differences. Mentoring also lets players go back and experience battles or zones they may have missed as they leveled up. While the Mentor and Apprentice are grouped up with each other, both can learn valuable lessons (experience) in the process. Apprenticing to a skilled Mentor can also be a faster way to learn than just trying repeatedly on your own.

Mentoring System Details

• When you right click a lower level group member, you will see an option to Mentor them.
• Selecting "Mentor" will make you appear and perform as if you were the same level as your Apprentice. It will be as if you were that level with a full bar of XP, and had all of the abilities that a person with a full experience bar of that level would have (for levels in which you get new abilities part of the way through).
• The Apprentice will receive an experience bonus while under the guidance of a Mentor. Up to 5 other players can act as a Mentor for a single player at the same time. Each subsequent person Mentoring an Apprentice adds to the bonus experience that the Apprentice receives. A single Apprentice can be mentored by up to five other people.
• The Mentors and Apprentice will receive experience, loot, and quest credit as if the Mentor were the same level as the Apprentice.
• Mentors do receive viable amounts of experience and advance toward their actual level while mentoring, though at a slightly reduced rate.
• Apprentices must have their Experience Gain turned on in order to be Mentored. (The optional XP disable can't be in use.) Mentors can have this setting any way they prefer.
• A Mentor can right click their Apprentice and select "Stop Mentoring" when they wish to stop acting as a Mentor.
• If the Mentor or Apprentice leaves the group, the Mentor will go back to their original level.
