Ornate shells
Readable bronze-and-briar borders with geometry compensation for their thicker rails.
Public beta Version 0.1.0-beta.1
EverQuest Legends UI skin
Briar Reforged
High-fantasy bronze frames, dark fieldstone surfaces, glass gauges, and spellwork built around the information you need in a fight.
This is a working beta, not a finished universal skin. Back up your current UI and expect some class, resolution, or future-patch edge cases to need refinement.
Current release
Beta 0.1 begins here.
The compact download contains only Briar Reforged's changed UI files and original artwork. EverQuest Legends supplies the unchanged `default_modern` controls at load time.

Fantasy character. Modern information.
Briar Reforged changes the atmosphere without intentionally removing the native controls, values, tabs, buttons, lists, or interactions present in `default_modern`.
Combat hierarchy
Player, target, pet, group, actions, chat, and extended targets share one visual language.
Glass resources
HP, mana, endurance, experience, and other gauge families gain depth without losing their data.
Spellwork
An ornate spell reliquary, integrated book control, and an open spellbook presentation.
Installation
A separate skin. Your defaults stay untouched.
Install Briar Reforged beside the supplied skins, then select it through the in-game interface. Do not overwrite `default_modern`.
- 1 Exit EverQuest Legends.
Preserve any existing `BriarReforged` folder before updating.
- 2 Extract into the game's `uifiles` folder.
The result should contain `uifiles\BriarReforged\EQUI_Animations.xml`, without a second nested BriarReforged folder.
- 3 Open Options → Interface → Load UI Skin.
Select `BriarReforged` and keep Keep My Layout enabled.
- 4 Rollback at any time.
Reload `default_modern`. If the beta fails to load, check `UIErrors.txt` and include it with your report.
What beta means
Beautiful enough to share. Honest enough to keep testing.
Verified so far
The XML parses, changed controls retain static parity with `default_modern`, thicker-frame geometry is compensated, the compact ZIP recreates the tested runtime, and this package has loaded through the live game's skin selector.
Still in the test matrix
Additional resolutions and UI scales, every class combination, every numbered display variant, long and populated lists, uncommon windows, and compatibility after future Daybreak patches.
The feedback loop
If something clips, hides, or feels wrong, I want to see it.
Reports are most useful when they identify the version, resolution, scale, class combination, affected window, and exact control. Screenshots and `UIErrors.txt` excerpts are welcome.
