Plane of Hate

01Why you come here

• The best experience rate of the three planes. ZEM 86, against 82.5 for both Fear and Sky. The 23 June patch note raised instanced Hate to match the open world, so running an instance to avoid competition costs you nothing.
• Four armour slots — Head, Arms, Wrist and Legs. Fear has the other four. Wrist is the overlap, so it is the one slot you can farm in whichever plane you prefer.
• Ten minibosses, each the upgraded form of one ordinary mob, each dropping a named armour set. If you know which trash type owes you your slot, you also know which miniboss to want. Section 06 is that mapping.
• The city is the difficulty. Not the mobs — the navigation. Around thirty buildings on a ground floor that looks the same in every direction, with a second level above it. Section 04 is the part of this survey we think is worth your time.

02What the sources are

The same problem as Fear, with one exception that matters more than anything else on this page.

The eqlwiki Plane of Hate page was created on 27 March 2026 by P99Wiki>Permahoo, an import from the Project 1999 wiki. The Innoruuk page is older still — imported>CrazyPro, 11 April 2025, fifteen months before Legends launched. Both were maintained through July 2026 by named editors, and no edit comment describes a measurement.

The exception. The Innoruuk page carries hit points written for two difficulty tiers:

HP = 156000 (D2 Raid), 235000 (D4 Raid)

That is the only difficulty-tiered boss figure published for any plane boss anywhere we have looked, and D4 in particular is a number nobody else has. It is also not measured, not post-launch, and carries no stated method — the edits that introduced it are pre-launch beta work by two named editors. We publish it badged, and we do not build anything on top of it. Two numbers from one boss are not a scaling law.

03Getting in: the sword or the voidling

Which object you touch at the Oasis tower decides which version of the zone you enter. This is the single most practical thing on the page.

1. Oasis of Marr, Specter Isle, tower second floor the sword — called black by the wiki, flaming by a player public instance
2. Oasis of Marr, top of the tower the voidling raid instance — the only place Innoruuk and the Maestro exist
3. Or a wizard Alter Plane: Hate reagent: Fuligan Soulstone of Innoruuk, 62.5pp

The two raid bosses do not spawn in the open world or in a personal instance. The 16 June patch note removed them from both. If you want Innoruuk or the Maestro of Rancor, the voidling is not one option among several — it is the only door.

There is no ordinary way out. Gate, Origin, a wizard or druid port, or die. Succor puts you back at the zone-in at −375, −354. Many mobs see through invisibility and through invisibility versus undead. T5

04The city, and the three levels underneath it

The floor plan at the top of this page is not a redrawn map. It is computed from the zone’s own mesh, and it separates into three bands that the flattened maps everyone else publishes cannot show you apart.

That middle band is the one worth knowing about. Ten units deep and split into 367 separate pieces is what a set of rooftops looks like when you ask a computer where the floor is — and it is exactly the surface players are using. A creator farming here describes the technique unprompted: put levitate on, climb the nearest wall, and travel across the tops of the buildings, because mobs on the ground below will not aggro you up there. C

So Hate has three usable levels, not two: the ground you fight on, the roofs you travel on, and the upper level. Use the storey control on the plan above to look at one at a time.

Landmarks

Landmark numbering T5 — imported. It matches the published map images rather than anything we have walked.

05Your armour, slot by slot

Head, Arms, Wrist and Legs. Find your class group, then hunt the mob types that owe you.

Armour table T3 — eqlwiki, maintained by editor Mazirian through 22 July 2026.

Three mob types split by gender, and they split in opposite directions. A female forsaken revenant drops Group 1 arms and a male drops Group 2. Same for the elite dragoon and Innoruuk’s Chosen — except those two run male for Group 1 and female for Group 2, the other way round from the revenant. If you are farming a slot and getting the wrong group, check the gender before you conclude the table is wrong.

a haunted chest — and a contradiction we cannot resolve

The imported page says a haunted chest can drop any planar armour, including pieces that otherwise only drop in the Plane of Fear — the mirror of Fear’s phoboplasm. T5

The only Legends-era account we have found says the opposite, flatly: “all they drop is the russet gear. That’s all they drop.” C Classic XP, 9 August 2026, farming them at D4 for a full session.

A first-hand Legends report outranks imported classic prose, so the second reading leads — but one player is not a measurement and we are not going to pretend otherwise. The likeliest explanation is that this changed for Legends, which is exactly the kind of change this site exists to catch. One logged session of chest kills settles it.

06The minibosses, and the trash they upgrade

Every miniboss here is the stronger form of one ordinary mob type, and most of them drop a specific named armour set. Read across from the trash you are already killing.

You will not meet all ten in one run. A player who clears the zone repeatedly reports the minibosses spawn in varying locations and as alternates — “sometimes you'll get a Lord of Ire, sometimes you get a Lord of Loathing”. C BrutallStatic, 13 July 2026. So read the table as the pool, not the roster of a single clear.

Miniboss table T5 — imported, except that Lord of Loathing is named in the 2 June 2026 patch note among bosses given Solo Raid balance changes, alongside Innoruuk, Cazic-Thule and the Maestro. So at least that one is a live Legends encounter and not an inherited name.

07The two raid bosses

Voidling only. The roster is confirmed by patch note; almost every number is classic EverQuest.

Both are listed with a single class. Legends raid bosses run three classes from D3, so that alone dates the table. Which kits attach to which boss at D3 and above is unpublished by anyone, and it is the largest open gap on this site.

08Levelling, plat and AA at 46+

Hate is the strongest of the three planes on paper. Nobody has published a rate, including us.

We will not publish a plat-per-hour, mote-per-hour or AA-per-hour figure until we have measured one. The only rate estimate we have found anywhere is a creator saying he “felt like” roughly one armour piece per three haunted chests, while explicitly counting nothing. C That is a feeling, honestly labelled as one by the person who said it, and we are not going to launder it into a drop rate.

09What we do not know
