Level 1 Twink Items for Power Leveling in Everquest

everquest train

 

One of the funnest things to do in Everquest is to twink an alt or power level a character. While most of the time gear isn’t really necessary, some of this twink gear below can last as far as level 60 before you need to upgrade.
