I ran across this also when making custom TGA files, 2 things that can cause this are. One pixle density should be set at 72 pixels per inch, and two 16 bit color will come out looking better as that is all EQ uses.

I don't know if I totally agree with Nanan. I have no clue about the pixel density, but I know for a fact that if you change the setting in the .ini file to 32 bit, the graphics will look better. You can see a difference between 16 bit and 32 bit in game. Its not much, but it is there. Now I don't know if it is going to a true 32 bit or not, but just know there is a change.

I had this problem. When youre setting your alpha channels in PSP make sure to set the tolderance for your magic wand to zero or 1. using a black background this shouldnt be a problem. I'm not sure why but when it was set to default (5,6?) my tgas looked just like yours. Striation at the edges of what are very clean edges on the actual image.
