What PQ Companion is
PQ Companion is a free Windows desktop app made for the Project Quarm game server. It brings together a searchable game database, DPS meter, spell timers, NPC overlay, combat history, player database, progression tools, and custom alerts. The meter tracks live damage for you and your group, attributes pet and charm damage to their owners, and creates fight summaries that can be copied to chat. Live Maps use zone data from game client files to show player positions, annotations, and NPC spawn points; user-installed Brewall-style map packs are also supported. With the Zeal mod installed, PQ Companion reads live game state such as target health and casting state through a local Windows pipe. It reads the game log and Zeal exports, and states that it does not modify the game client or game data. Combat history is kept in a local SQLite store and can be exported in a .pqcb backup bundle. Alerts can appear onscreen, play local sound, or use text-to-speech.
