Oh God im actually thinking about playing this again. Already bored with Diablo 3. Im loving the fact that fungi prices nosedived from even six or seven months ago. I could actually afford to kit out a twink pretty darn well - the only thing on my wishlist I would not be able to afford are crazy things like a Cloak of Flames.

Had a minor panic attack because my main character didnt have any plat on him, and thought maybe I had been hacked or something. I had forgotten that I had moved it to a mule account because I thought I would have to sell my main character to afford good stuff. Question I asked on the p1999 boards and got some strange answers. If you had to pick a weapon setup for a twink monk what would you use: T-staff or Stave of Shielding/Adamantite Club? Im kinda leaning towards the T-staff because tracking down one rare item is easier and probably a little cheaper than the other two. And traditionally I liked using 2hb because you get hit with fewer ripostes. I already have a FBSS, which of course I had bought when prices were higher

Actually saw someone selling a Cloak of Flames in EC tunnel today, dont remember ever see that before. Anyone got an extra 50k plat they dont want? Im thinking at this point id just buy a fungi, maybe a lower end weapon (like a jade mace) and save every other copper for higher end haste. They must have tweaked npc aggro, or Solusek A because the normally docile goblins nearly killed me when I cruised through there. Before they were so green they wouldnt aggro unless I like sat down near them. That would have been embarassing.

My twink set is nearly complete. I bought a knuckle duster (hope 900 wasnt too much to pay) and im looking to pay 1800-2000 for a jade mace. Got the chest item I wanted  . Ive still got a decent amount of plat left over I could possibly buy a RBB, but maybe thats overkill. That would also preclude me from buying higher end monk weapons like a T-staff. Oh and for the person who needed a Prickly Pear ive been seeing someone selling them for 1k. A little steep to be sure but could beat the alternative.

At this point Velious is really the only thing that will bring hundreds of players back. Maybe im just being selfish but im ok with the longer delay between Kunark and Velious because im still so far behind.

Ugh just got done grinding through level 30 which must have been a hell level. Some dude tried to horn in on my exp spot earlier today and got killed despite being a twink. My memory isnt the best, but I dont remember hitting this hard on live. Like I only recall being able to do (weapon damage * 2) + damage bonus as a max hit.

I just remember not being able to get any of my friends to play it past about level 15, and thats when the game was new and considered the big new thing. ------ Now im level 31 and looking for new xp spots. Id prefer something close to Cabilis, any suggestions?

Ive been having some surprising luck finding deep blues in Swamp of No Hope of all places, but that probably wont last another level. I tried soloing at the entrance to Dalnir, but I couldnt kill the cleric npcs, which seem to always be up maybe ill try again after I ding. So OT really has an exp penalty? that sucks because that was on my list of places to try when I got a couple more levels. Mistmoore is interesting, but man Faydwer would be a drag. Eventually ill probably camp the crap out of the yeti caves in the Dreadlands, but that wont be for a while yet.

Pillow Armadillo posted:Swamp of No Hope is one of my favorite (and least appreciated) newbie zones in the game. There are a number of named leeches, Iksar, and Frogloks in the 15-25 level range that roam the zone and have very rewarding drops. Soblohg, a 26 warrior mob, has a relatively predictable spawn cycle in the Northern half of the zone and can drop gems that sell very well to players in East Commonlands. Since I was already in zone I found Soblohg like 4 times but no drops other than more coin than usual. Ive killed all sorts of named and never got anything better than a 4 plat Topaz. Havent seen Sob spawn again lately, does he have a PH or do I need to check the western part of zone too? Ok I think I figured it out, but 12 or so kills now and still no gems

Everything has been boring me recently due to it all being such a "blitz to end-game now ram your face into your keyboard until you kill ULTRABOSS on legendary mode or whatever excuse of re-hashing content we came up with" game strategy. well when you make your character let us know who you are and we can do our best to help you out.

Sorry about that im used to referring to imaginary in-game money as spacebucks in EVE and whatnot, and that isnt really applicable to a game like EQ. Well unless they added the Luclin expansion I suppose (which they wont). Trip Report SONH: had some serious success yesterday, but after someone interrupted me to tell me all about the horrible, soul-melting pedofurry characters you can make in TERA I went on a major cold streak. Still I should be several thousand plat richer.

aparmenideanmonad posted:Nice! Every time I try to camp Soblohg I get jack poo poo, but I've gotten 4-5 BD/Diamonds just knockin him off on the way to Seb or wherever. Unfortunately now he is light blue to me and I dont think even I could stomach grinding through a level camping him anymore. Managed to get two black sapphires and a diamond though, and I made a harrowing run to Karnors in order to transfer them to my main. So ill probably try Dalnir zone in now to keep the exp bar moving.

Ok so I lie like a cheap rug. I dont have a ton of playtime during the week so ive just been camping that drat frog. At least I got another black sapphire. This weekend I should be able to go find a proper exp spot Yeah as far as advice to a new player... do we try to steer them away from hybrids and their ridiculous 40% exp penalty? Probably Ranger at least.

Oh god please tell me 35 was a hell level. I shoulda just stayed in the swamp. Ended up grinding out the last orange in the Overthere against blues that hit like freight trains. Maybe it really is time to get myself over to the old world. Im not super familiar with rogue weapons. Is Gloompoon the best available weapon in that price range? I know Bone Razors have plummeted in price down to like 2k, but im sure there has to be something decent im forgetting.

EQ Mac is free? Thats cool. But I think I can live without Luclin and PooP. Hit 37 in the monk, still just crawling along but ive made some serious bank. Has anyone here done the Jboots MQ before? I was fortunate to get the boots from Drelzna on my original character (first spawn too lol). And the monk could really use them. Just wondering how much of a pain it will be, ive got the 5k no problem.

ohno posted:I did the jboots MQ on my P1999 monk 8 months ago or so, when he was around level 20. It worked like normal, and then I proceeded to fear kite giants until "ding 50". sorry for the dumb questions but im just curious what the standard procedure is as far as payment - after the quest is complete or before? I dont think ive ever MQd a quest except through like friends or guildmates. its not exactly convenient for a lizard monk to run around with 5500 plat in antonica, so im hoping to pay using my wizard parked in the same spot.

A week of Tundra Yeti genocide has me up to level 45 now. Just bought JBoot MQ, went as well as I could have hoped. Just need to buy a Tstaff for when I hit level 50. Not sure where to solo now or if I am gonna break down and finally start looking for groups.

yeah I was gonna hit the Raster camp last night but a 60 was already there. At least I didnt waste the time running down there and back first. I tried at like level 37 or 38 and it wasnt really possible I pulled aggro through walls over huge distances. Took so much flopping to get out it looked like the NBA finals. Ive got a couple stacks of bandages on me but the Fungi actually makes them hard to use because I get back over 50% so quickly. I know first world problems right?

TouchToneDialing posted:I seriously think raster spawns more on this server than on live. Iv done it three times and I didnt spend more than a few hours each go. Fine just pee all over my good fortune why dont you? I remember the first time I camped Raster on live for the idol and it took me I think 7 hours before he popped. I was never a huge poopsocker, so that was probably my longest eq session back then, and I was telling a friend about it, who immediately began to heap abuse on me. We were going to hang out once and I was trying to get a Ssra emperor raid finished up before he came over. Of course we had to wait on slow people and the raid ran over. He had to sit and watch me finish the raid for about 45 minutes and gave me a ton of crap about it. Other than this incident, there was only like one occasion where I actually blew off hanging out with my friends for EQ. Fast forward to today. He discovered WoW in like 2007 and promptly sank 400+ days of his life into it. If he has the next day off work he will play whatever MMO he is currently into until like 8am the next morning, or until he passes out in his computer chair whatever comes first. He no longer has any other “offline” friends and never socializes with anyone outside of work. Ill foolishly try to get lunch or something on his days off once in a while but it usually dosent work out since im not willing to wait until he wakes up at 4:30 in the afternoon. He did find a girlfriend, but she has absolutely zero redeeming qualities, unless you consider having no other prospects and therefore a high tolerance for MMOs a big plus. He will now spend more time grinding reputation or running the same instances over and over again than I ever did at Raster on virtually a daily basis. All for a vanity pet or a different colored mount or whatever so he can impress his harem of online boyfriends.

Also bear in mind that the lower level spells were buffed over the many expansions since Velious, and P1999 has the "classic" damage values, so some spoiler sites may have different info. Up to 54 now, and close to my epic. Gotta keep grinding!

gepgepgep posted:Awesome, turn it in for belt yet!? Such great stats on that thing for monks...their Sky loot is incredible. Been in <Divinity> forever. Just waiting to get the tradeable pieces so I can finish the turn in. Back before Kunark I made insane plat as a level 45+ Wizard killing trash in Sol A. I would just one-shot all of the named mobs or placeholders. As long as I didnt sit near anything, I was too high level to draw aggro (but I think they changed this in a patch at some point). I figure I was making roughly 1k an hour after selling Impskin Gloves, Plat Dragon Totems, Obsidian Shards, Foreman Tunics, Plat Armbands etc. It was just a lotta work selling all that crap. But I made enough to twink my monk with a Fungi and Runed Bolster Belt

Then of course when I got up to sky the quest mob was already used/despawned and another monk was there waiting ahead of me. Had to do my turn-in at 7am heh.
