Too bad it wasn't on AoD, and I missed the last SC sale as well. No way I am shelling $40 out for it though, but I do want the Beastlord and mercs.

I can't see if it's on rebate, even if I uncheck hiding unusable items. Maybe it is. This is supposed to be some 'explorer' pack or whatever, maybe it fits the theme? It will say REBATE on the icon if so.

It doesn't look like it is on there this time around. If I had a few more months of sub under my belt I could have bought AoD with my free SC.

So I broke down and got AoD. Are beastlords shunned for groups as I was going to start one when I get on next.

Beastlords have different styles. In feral stance you are basically dps. In spiritual stance you can play the role of utility, using wards (like a defiler) or power restoration (like an enchanter.) There's loads of other things you can do, but this is just to give a VERY broad idea.

Oh, and, as a pet class,you are only as strong as your pet... So if you level up a warder to Grandmaster, that pet will have a fantastic advantage over an Adept pet.

After playing my monk for a bit, I kinda do miss my dirge. However, kinda pricey on the server transfers, but I guess I can spend some time leveling one up and see how they play.

Speaking of dirges, I really should get Wootabega to 90, but I was getting my butt kicked in the first DoV zone, but I suppose with a merc it will be much more enjoyable.

ZAM is pretty un-helpful here. Where are the vendors who sell Drunder gear, and does anyone know how many shards the head and shoulders cost?

e: vvv ZAM claims that there are two npcs who sell it. loving ZAM. Looks like I need to run Strategist's Stronghold to get the Bricks of Bloodmetal. My head gives -30s cooldown on CoB and +10% CoB damage, and my shoulders give -10s cooldown on Scream of Death, so I should work on these. Just not paying 150p per piece.

I did buy the rage filled ore for my boots/bracers/gloves though. The rage filled ore is cheaper than buying some of the gems (30p for jaundice, 7.5p for ore for boots.)

e2: God drat ZAM is dumb.

Taking some advice, I rerolled a Iksar Dirge and went through Timorous Deep which I found 1000 times more easy to get around and do things as compared to Greater Fay. The zone itself was so fluid from one section to another, while GF is just a pain in the butt moving around. Plus for the side fact that my Dirge ripped through mobs like crazy compared to the half-elf monk I first rolled.

Anyway...how are alts dealt with within the guild? Kinda want to get my dirge in the guild, as I kinda abandoned my monk.

New house added to the store today, and an entry on the housing list I don't remember seeing.

On the market, Research's Sanctum. Using resources from Perah'Celsis, it's pretty loving big. Kind of boring, but I'm sure some sperglord will do something awesome.

The other entry I only took one screenshot of, it is called 'Dimensional Pocket' and it is a clone of the entryway to Palace.

Sanctum.

I want to buy it and break out of it to see if you can drown. Or build something out in the water.

Edit: Crafting in Skyshrine =

To get the level 91 & 92 books, you must do the quest line. On every TS. It's not a quick 5 minute quest here. And this is for the regular books and the advanced. Right now, only the guild miners go out for T10 stuff. A stack of fuel costs 7 plat. And part of the quest requires you to be on the other side of the zone. You can't fly the entire way there and dodge mobs if you are not high enough level to fight because periodically you get knocked from the sky from the dragon watching. So you must have someone drop a flag to get there if you do not have the mount path available.

Awesome job, new crafting dev.

2nd edit: I just noticed you don't even have to be TS 91 or 92 to scribe. Level 90 to scribe both levels. ???

Server transfers are still there but you need to jump through hoops now because they had people stealing credit cards and laundering it through station cash. You need to be subscribed at a gold level for at least 60 days (either through SC or via credit card), and at time of transfer the last 7 days of payment through a credit card. Don't believe they have exceptions for this rule.

Make a free to play account and try A free class or two for 10 or so levels. If you like the play style of EQ2 you can go from there. Have you played EQ2 before? The OP has links to the clients at the bottom; get the streaming client and it will be just a few minutes from making an account to trying the game. I'll reply again when I get home, and I'll be able to answer questions better.

Too bad SOE doesn't take a page from Trion and have free server transfers to any server you want whenever you want as often as you want, available right there at the character select screen.

I think I'll F2P for a bit and see if this still has the same draw for me. How's the AA grind with mercs, anyway? If they're such juggernauts at low levels, is there anything stopping me from getting to level 10, hiring a merc, and just grinding it out at Decrepit Crypt (if that's where people still even go)?
