Insert the location of your Everquest folder by opening it up using the browse button and clicking on a file not a folder INSIDE your everquest directory. The Maps directory does not matter for what we will be using this tutorial for.

The Stats page will be displayed and the things you can edit should be self explanitory.
For ANY item that is not a weapon use Type/Visual 63 (Armor)

Code:
IT10509= Purple Fist
IT10510= Green Fist
IT10511= Blue Fist
IT10512= Yellow Fist
IT10401= Rallos Zek's Axe
IT10404= Mithanial Marr Sword

Adding Health/Mana Regen or Haste to your item
Find the fields hpregen, manaregen and hastepercent.
Insert the value you want the weapon to increase it by.
Code:
Example
hastepercent=20
hpregen=1
manaregen=3
This would make the item have 20% haste aswell as 1 hp regen and 3 mana regen per tick.
