Are they any ingame items that will improve night vision?

Gamma and brightness are under the color correction section of the graphics settings=

here are vision totems that give ultravision and sonic vision. Try those. Dont know what they are called though.

There are a couple items in the game that allow enhanced vision.  TBH, I find them all annoying.  Nothing provides a view of a night scene as it would look like during the day.  They tend to be false color that make picking details out difficult. In any event - Tinkerers make Goggles of the Bat, which grants sonic vision, and Rose Colored Goggles, which give infravision. edit:  There are no longer totems that grant that kind of vision.  They were taken out a good while ago.  The only vision totems that remain grant the ability to see underwater, stealth or invis.

torches can help you see at night.

Never underestimate the value of a stout stick wrapped in an oil-soaked rag and set afire... I'm a Dark Elf, I get Ultravision, and I still use a torch. The various racial visions, for the most part, suck...

People generally think EQ got ultra/infravision right while EQ II didn't.

Do what I did. Download a UI interface. On it there is a choice for night vision. It plays with your gamma for you. <a href="http://www.eq2interface.com/downloads/fileinfo.php?id=4277" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">http://www.eq2interface.com/downloa...nfo.php?id=4277</a>

Yeah, either your gamma settings are off or your monitor is dying.  Nightime in EQ2 isn't all that dark.

It actually gets really dark in eq2 at nights and in dungeouns to me. and thats the way I like it. Too dark? I either pop a torch or ultravision.

<p>Pretty sure the OP got the problem figured out by now, since he originally posted in 2007...</p>
