Experience gain is boosted noticeably. You will be able to level a whole group from 1 to 50 in a few hours. You gain particularly good experience from defeating red and yellow con monsters.
Experience in a raid is boosted as well. It is almost as good as experience in a group of the same size.

Absolutely!
There are two progression paths: one is for groups, the other is for solo players.
Currently, solo missions are available up to Tier 6 (unlocks level cap 65). For Planes of Power and expansions beyond, there is only one progression path.

Wutz has beaten all content up to Tier 8, including Tunat, 6-boxing.

Group/Raid content up to and including Velious is tuned for 6. Beyond that, it's tuned for 9. However, with the Aura of Might, smaller groups, such as a team of 6, get a buff that makes their overall strength comparable to 9. There are some none-EQ-Might specific progression zones that do not support the Aura of Might. These zones will be very hard to beat with 6. These zones are:

• Plane of Fire (can be bypassed by buying the Globe of Dancing Flame from Adrienne with Tokens of Legendary Might)

• Uqua (can be bypassed by buying the Fragment of the High Temple from Adrienne)

• Ikkinz Raid series (can be bypassed by doing the alternate route: Yxtta; or buying the Sliver of the High Temple from Adrienne)

• Txevu (can be bypassed by buying the Jade Inlaid Key from Adrienne -> Access to instanced Txevu)

• Anguish (currently optional for progression)

If you want to play a single group and be as strong and independent as possible. The following group setup should work to get you through almost everything except what's mentioned above:

• Warrior

• Cleric

• Shaman (can cast various buffs, such as Savagery, Wunshi, Sloth and Champion using artifacts)

• Bard (can cast KEI and haste using artifacts)

• Monk (has a buffed Aura, can cast DI using artifact)

• DPS class of your choice. A save choice is Berserker (buffed aura, easy to automate, also easy 2.0). But Rogue, Ranger, Beastlord are very solid picks too. Wizard and Necromancers will struggle a bit with mana before they reach 60 and have solid gear.

Extensive player written Guide by Wutz for 6-boxers on EQ Might.

Tokens of Might can drop from most named. Low level named have a chance of 1-3% of dropping Token of Might. Higher level named, and particularly fabled, have a much higher chance of dropping. The highest chance comes from chests. Small treasure chests drop 1 to 5 Tokens of Might. Larger treasure chests can drop more.

Tokens of Epic Might are gained in the same way, they are just rarer and drop mainly from high level fabled, progression bosses and chests.

Here is an example if you do an Innoruuk instance:

• Innoruuk himself has a 75% chance of dropping a Token of Might and a 10% chance of dropping a Token of Epic Might.

• Depending on the mode you are in, a number of chests will spawn.

Trivial

• • no chests

Easy

• • 1x Small Amber Treasure Chest (2 Tokens of Might, 30% chance for a Token of Epic Might)

Medium

• • 1x Small Topaz Treasure Chest (3 Tokens of Might, 40% chance for a Token of Epic Might)

  • 1x Small Jasper Treasure Chest (2 Tokens of Might, 20% chance for a Token of Epic Might)

Hard

• • 1x Sapphire Treasure Chest (4 Tokens of Might, 60% chance for a Token of Epic Might, 2% chance for Token of Legendary Might)

  • 1x Small Topaz Treasure Chest

  • x Hard Mode Treasure Chest (5% chance for Token of Legendary Might)

There are intermediate modes, like Easy+ or Normal-, which are not documented above.

Chests also contain additional items, particularly the Hard Mode Chest always contains an Invaluable Coin for faction with Merchants of Might.

The concept of Might puts a party's power within a bandwidth. That is the main driver to un-trivialize content. You will not be able to engage Lady Vox or Lord Nagafen with a level 65 character. Every (instanced) encounter should therefore always be non-trivial. As consequence, for now, there are no lockouts. You can do your favourite encounter back-to-back if you wish to do so.

Might on the otherhand, can be a hindrance at times. E.g., when you want to do a certain target and your party's might doesn't fit in the given bandwidth. That may be particularly true if you team up with someone and you combined Might is too high to get the chest reward. However, you can always do the instances without the chest rewards.

Might may also appear confusing at first, specially if you don't like numbers. The server greeter can tell you your party's might. The Might-Table gives some examples for standard party sizes.

The minimum Might is a hard limit and should stop people from wasting their own time in an instance that is out of their league.

The suggested Might is a soft limit. However, the more you exceed it, the lesser the reward. If you exceed it substantially (over 250%), it will count as trivial, and there won't be any chest reward. You still receive the progression flag. You cannot request an instance if you exceed its suggested Might by more than 400%.

Also note, the level minimum for instances are hard limits.

The server's hardware is a dedicated I7 laptop with 4 cores. running Windows 10. In case of power outage, the battery lasts for 8-9 hours. It's got a 600/100 MB/s cable Internet connection. The server is located in Zurich, Switzerland. You can expect the following minimum pings (ms):

Europe: Brussels 21, Lisbon 44, London 20, Madrid 31, Milan 5, Munich 12, Paris 21, Stockholm 29, Vienna 19 

Americas: Atlanta 107, Boston 105, Buenos Aires 258, Chicago 109, Columbus 131, Los Angeles 166, Montreal 99, New York 90, Toronto 111, Vancouver 148

Rest of the world: Cairo 49, Dubai 141, Hong Kong 255, New Delhi 160, Shanghai 265, Sydney 263, Tokyo 216, Tunis 33

Wifi and particularly mobile internet providers add an additional delay. A ping of over 60 ms is noticable. With a ping over 150 ms, the Internet "feels slow". However, the ping in EverQuest is not as critical as in other games such as racing or shooter games.
