Something that is rarely talked about is just how aweful the Default target ring can be in certain situations.
It is not bad when you are attacking a mob that MA has targetted, because the MA Target ring stands out pretty well.
But imagine your are fighting the MA-targetted mob and you notice mobs going out of balance. You are a diligent raider, so you decide to target a different mob to help balance them. This is when you notice how difficult it is to find your target ring. It is really bad when blue-con mobs are on bluish floors, or red-con mobs are on orangish floors. This problem gets even worse when you are trying to find a target ring for a flying mob that is well above your head and out of sight.
Fear not, there is a solution.
Go to EQInterface.com and click Downloads -> Interface Pieces -> 3D Targeting Ring. You will find several targetting rings to choose from. I went with RueUI CelticDragon with Indicators for my example here.
When you see a Target Ring you like, click the download button. This will download a ZIP file with various .TGA files and Targetindicator configuration settings.
Open the ZIP file, right click on the folder inside and click Copy.
Then go to your Everquest\UI Files folder and click Save. If you go with my example, you will end up with \EverQuest\uifiles\CelticDragon_with_Indicators, and inside CelticDragon_with_Indicators with be .TGA files and Targetindicator configuration settings.
Now, in EQ, click Options, Load UI Skin and select the Target ring folder name you just created.
But note: You cannot have any Spaces in your Target Ring folder. It will look like it lets you load the new UI Skin but it won't work.
Once you Load your new UI Skin, you will need to zone for change to your target ring to take effect.
You will NOT need to resave your target ring whenever EQ patches. The patcher only overwrites files that Daybreak itself updates. It won't erase your new target ring folder.
