About

This might already exist. If it does, use that one.

I like fiddling with gear ideas, figuring out stats, deciding what I'm aiming for. I didn't find a builder that did what I wanted, and I've got a few other ideas I want to make, so I spent the so little time and built one.

I use “built” loosely. Really loosely. The Project Quarm, TAKP, and EQEmu teams, plus a lot of other developers, have put enough of their work out there that I could synthesize what exists and have AI slap this together on a Next.js stack. Mostly while playing mana battery during raids and cursing at AI.

Actually cursing at AI. I think it helps. I fully expect, and kind of hope, that if AI rises up I'm on the short list to go first. I'm barely built for the current world and definitely not ready for whatever comes next.

I feel the same way about any potential apocalypse, zombie or otherwise.

Affiliated?

West siiide. No, no affiliations. Quarmy is not endorsed by or affiliated with Project Quarm, EverQuest, or Daybreak Games.

How does login work?

I don't believe in passwords. Sign in with Google or Discord through Clerk. That's it. If I ever need anything beyond the free tier, I'll open source this and delete my character.

How do I import my character?

Run /outputfile quarmy in-game with Zeal. It writes a CharName-Quarmy.txt with name, deity, level, base stats, guild, AAs, and full inventory. Import it on the character builder — everything lands automatically and the profile earns a Q badge.

On older Zeal without the quarmy command, /outputfile inventory writes a CharName-Inventory.txt with equipment and bags only. Fill in race, class, level, deity, and base stats yourself. No badge on that path.

Quarmy never touches EQ packets or game code.

Are the stat calculations accurate?

I think so. HP, Mana, AC, ATK, and resist formulas are ported from the EQMacEmu server source — the same code Quarm runs on. Derived stats like Haste, Regen, FT, and Worn ATK are resolved from worn spell effects. If you see something off, holler.

Who can use this?

You found the link. You can use it. Not a secret club. Check out public profiles to see what others are building.

Are you going to add [cool feature]?

Probably. Things like guilds, I want to build... but I build software for the 14-year-old version of myself, and that kid would absolutely find a way to abuse anything frictionless enough for people to use. If you got ideas i'll read em. email is at the bottom.

QThe Q badge

The Quarmy badge marks profiles uploaded via the /outputfile quarmy export on Zeal 1.4.0+ that have not been modified since import. Any edit to the character or the Main gear set clears the badge.
