MQ2Nav allows intelligent navigation and pathfinding in EverQuest. The plugin also includes an optional in-game overlay.
Nav can navigate to doors, items, characters, and even custom waypoints. It can handle tricky terrain including doors and stairs, and navigation can be customized based on an area in the zone. New users can easily create zone meshes with the Meshgenerator tool, and even test paths within the Meshgenerator.
