Hexel posted:Sneak makes you effectively neutral to an npc or mob as long as you're on side of or behind it. You can use this to vendor at npc's that hate your race or religion and even bank I believe. One of my favourite things in this game is that any banker is happy to do business while actively attacking you.

Thanks for the info, I knew the basic stuff but wasn't aware sneak was that broken. I knew about sneaking behind bankers/merchants and whatnot, but it overwriting social aggro is news to me. That makes things a lot easier.

I definitely remember hearing about sneak pulling back in classic times, although I don't either remember it being that effective. I played a rogue, and I vaguely recall experimenting with it, but not that much... But as Kodaji said, it is ridiculously effective, even more so because Sneak actually works in a 270 degree cone behind the mob. You can stand way past the "front side" of a mob and still be indifferent. One bummer about P99 though is that you can't vendor while FD, but I assume that's how it worked in classic. On current Live, you can.

I'm not 100% sure this works on P99, but I seem to recall doing this on live at some point.

I haven't played for a bit, but the red server really seems to be doing well, 300 people online right now. Anyone in the mood to roll some new chars there this weekend, maybe at a set time? I can port/bind people wherev and throw a bit of plat around. Just a thought, the first 20ish levels suck if you're broke/solo but its a lot of fun to shitkick with a little crew.

I was thinking SK, haven't played a tank much in this game but have the equip to make it work even if I suck! Play whichever you want to level, the group exp bonus is so stupid we could succeed just bootfucking mobs with bandages. MrTheDevious posted:Hooray, this is going to be awesomely fun.

If you want to level him absolutely man, but just play what you think you'll have the most fun with! Are you guys thinking tonight or tomorrow?

I did HHK guards faction work for a couple days because I really need to be able to bank on Antonica so I dont have to carry arounds hundreds of plat. Got the guards to dubious and no longer kos but the banker still attacks me cuz the merchants are on a different faction. Its easy enough to open them up and flop. On a progress note I am 29 now and have managed to farm up and collect every item upgrade from the pilsner budget list. Looking forward to 30+ and owning hobbit guards.

Hey I dunno if you care or are publicizing your awesome map program anymore or not, but I just fixed a super tiny bug if you want to update the code. If you change the name of your EQ folder after installing the Map, trying to start the map reads the old settings and throws an unhandled Argument Exception in MapForm.cs when it can't find the old folder. I just put in a basic try/catch around the line for myself so I could get the program open long enough to change the setting manually, but you could always have it pop up a warning window or something if you want. private void SetupFileSystemWatcher() { fileSystemWatcher1.Path = Path.Combine(Settings.EQDirectoryPath, "Logs"); is the line that throws the System.ArgumentException. Cheers!

How'd my coding? Call 555-ZLIZEQ.I've put on my TODO list to handle a missing EQ dir gracefully. I think I will go through the list when Velious is released and clean up a few bugs and niggles, and add Velious maps of course. One thing I've noticed myself by the way is that with a huge log file, the program can take up to 1-2 seconds to pick up the latest /loc, even though I peek in the file every 500ms. I guess seeking through a big file (mine is 50 MB currently) takes its time. The easy solution is to rename your log file (or delete it if you don't care about saving it), and EQ will create a fresh one.

Iv deleted the program and program data and made sure its pointing to the new folder but nothing seems to be working. It worked on the old hard drive but all it does now is shows the character name in the bar and doesnt update even though the log is saving. Is there something else I need to delete to get it to stop looking into the old folder? Im pretty sure thats whats happening.

However, they are Druids and you'll need to be able to handle their nasty spells. Their drops are also a bit more random compared to the guaranteed swords of the sisters. They drop gold, not platinum, so you'll very often need to go to the nearby Centaur merchants and exchange (buy and sell back some item), but they can drop valuable gems and a stave that vendors for 18p.

I may move there in the next couple days. Theres a pair of enchanters that seem to work in 12 hour shifts and keep the sisters sewn up pretty good. I managed to weasel in last night but gently caress competing with these enchanters for a cash camp.

Tried the treants but man them things are annoying. Damage shield hurts too much. I found a great alternative though! Hobbit guards on the wall in misty drop 10p spears eveytime just like the chicks in OOT and are 6 minute spawns so I'm set for a while. Gonna fill up the poopsock on my 5 day christmas vacation.

I figured out where he spawns (both spots) and how to split thecamp so you get a pop at both locs. It can be worth 2-400pp an hour and it's good xp at level 29. /tell Avalok for info.
