Basic:
Q: How do I load the wiz window?
A: /wiz show
Q: Does this work for all levels?
A: Yes!
Q: What level are these designed for?
A: They are designed to work from lvl 1 to current game.
Q: If I have multiple toons of the same class, do I need multiple licenses?
A: Nope, just 1 licenses per class you are using. You can use them on multiple computers / installs that are your computers, on your pcs, that you are using.
Q: I don't know what a slash command is - What is a slash command?
A: A slash command is something like / who. You type / followed by other stuff.
EQ has made you use slash commands forever.
The interaction with MQ and MQ utilities all utilize slash commands as well.
A slash command forMQ2Wizard might be "/wiz help" or "/wiz campradius 40".
Q: Why am I not pulling XYZ mob?
A: Not pulling a mob is almost always an issue either with your Navmesh or your pull settings. If you do a /wiz"debugpull on once" it will cycle 1 time and spit out in your MQ window allthe mobs and why you are not pulling them.Compare the output with the mobs you think you should be pulling and it will tell you why.This will notify you if you have no nav path, or out of zradius, or radius, or on ignore, etc.
Q: What "Modes" does this have?
A: Has access to all of the CWTN plugin "Modes". See the commands tab for details.
Q: Trying to go mode 1 but says I need a mesh?
A: The plugins require MQ2Nav for movement. You will need to run the mesh updater in your redguide's Launcher. You can find the video at
Q: Sometimes a mob keeps hitting me but I don't engage? Ex. Dracoliches
A: This means you need to make your campradius bigger, as the mob is likely a "large" model mob and is hitting you from outside your campradius.
Q: I can't get pulling to work / don't understand the modes?
A: Check out the MQ2War video where we explain the tanking modes.

Q: Character is chain casting something?
A: There are a few lower lvl / mid - level buffs that eq / mq reports stack that do not, or will chain overwrite other buffs and you get into a buffing contest with another toon. You either have this situation or some other issues. I would suggest checking for the red error text that eq gives you to tell you WHY it didn't successfully take hold and then go from there. You can block anything you don't want cast.
EQ Menu -> Character -> Blocked Buffs
EQ Menu -> Character -> Blocked Pet Buffs (to add to anyone's pet blocked spells
*Important* you need to block the ACTUAL spell that you want to be blocked. For example:
- you are having an issue with stacking with Unified Hand of Assurance Rk. II
- this spell casts "Assurance Rk. II" and "Benediction of Sanctity Rk. II"
- you need to block both of those individual spells (including rank) on the person you want it blocked on
/blockspell add me id
/blockspell add pet id
Q: I don't like the spell lineup.
A: Some classes have loadouts. But you can "Bring your own spells" with "/wiz byos on" you can even use a "custom" byos, which will still do buffing and put your gems back if they change.
Q: I don't want the plugin to cast XYZ on a toon
A: Any buff you don't want cast upon someone, you would just have that character add it to their blocked buffs. See orange text above for information on how to accomplish that.
Q: Do I need to assign what XTargets to watch for XTargetHealing?
A: Nope - Just toggle on UseXTargetHealing and it will check all your Extended Targets to see if they are PCs and then heal them at the respective nonMA heal value.
Q: Do I need to assign what XTargets to watch for XTargetBuffing?
A: Nope - Just toggle on UseXTargetBuffing and it will check your Extended Targets to see if they are PCs and then buff them (They still need to be running MQ2CWTNBuffs and be on the same computer as the caster)
Q: I sometimes get stuck in my spell book?
A: This is often due to your background FPS not being high enough. It is strongly advised to utilize at LEAST 30 fps for background, recommended 60+ background FPS. The FPS cycle for EQ is where "work" is done. If your background FPS is set to "min" you can and will have undesired results with all sorts of automation activities.
Alt+O -> Display -> Advanced -> Max Background FPS
You will also need to check if you are using any external background FPS limiting software like isboxer and adjust that accordingly.
Q: SwitchWithMA option?
A: There is no option to turn SwitchWithMA off in the caster plugins. We're going to re-aquire the MA's target when we go to do stuff. If you need to change targets, like to target someone for something the plugin doesn't do, pause the plugin.
Q: Why does my toon not buff the group/cure the group?
A: You will need to run "/plugin mq2cwtnbuffs load" on all of your characters that you would like to buff/cure. You also need to NOT be in "/wiz byos on" mode. As "Bring Your Own Spells" assumes you want to handle your spells and your buffs. You can use BYOS custom and it will still do buffing.
MQ2CWTNBuffs requires characters to be local characters (same PC, not across network or space/time)
Q: How do I load the wizwindow?
A: /wiz show - please see the commands tab for all the commands
Q: How do I make it not taunt or do tanking stuff?
A: You will use your tanking type stuff (including taunt) if you are in a tank mode (like 4, 5, 7, 8), or you are assigned as Main Tank in your group window assignment. If you don't want to do tanking stuff (like taunt) put yourself in a non-tank mode (like 0, 1, etc) and don't be assigned main tank in your group window. This will allow you to on-the-fly swap to doing tank stuff and non-tank stuff (like if you are off-tanking and need to swap with another tank). You can just quickly adjust your mode, or group assignment. Flow Chart

Q: How do I ignore a mob when pulling?
A: /wiz ignore
Q: How can I get it to break invis to do stuff
A: We will break invis if a camp is set - So Assist mode would break invis to do stuff, where-as Manual mode would not. If you want to break invis in a mode like ChaseAssist, turn on usemelee/useranged
Q: I want to split pull. FD Pull. Fade Pull. Pet Pull
A: Sorry, we do not have plans to do any of those things at this time.
Q: I need help!?
