Funkutron5000 posted:Also, to add a double post, VP is awful. We've only managed a single Drushk kill in that shitshow. I'm not a training class so I don't really get to join in on the "fun". I just sit camped out for god knows how long waiting for the call to come in and engage while the two guilds train the poo poo out of each other. We have come close, getting both Silverwing and PD under 10%, but we don't have enough VP keys yet to truly compete unless every keyed person shows up. As it is, if TMO gets a clean engage, they're usually coming with 40+ people and a lot of wizards in that group to melt any dragon in there. FE will come in with 20-30 members if we're lucky. We had ~25 for our Drushk kill. It really is a war of attrition in there and we just don't have the numbers to win many of those wars. Ohgod the memories RIP Sullon Zek

Heres a simple question that I'm having a hard time finding answers for: if I just started a semi-twinked monk and I have a Trance stick is it better to wield that and plain fists? Or try to find a H2H to dual wield with the Trance stick?

Pilsner posted:To figure out what is best, here is a spreadsheet that you can use to compare DW vs. 2hb and/or two different weapon setups. It's based on a sheet some other guy on the P99 forums made, and I made it "double up" for comparision purposes. It starts at level 25. This is perfect. I'm just gonna mainhand my Trance stick until 20 and then look at getting another weapon to DW or a 2 hander. I had started a druid and played that up until 24 when I realized I spent most of my time melee'ing or meditating so I said gently caress this poo poo and liquidated his gear and rolled a monk. So I was able to afford a Trance stick and some curscale pieces. This drat weight thing is killing me though, I'm sitting at 14 stones right now and am afraid to loot anything

Does anyone have an 82 Tailor on blue? I had the brilliant idea to make my own cured silk set and spent all day burning up all my spider silk and only made it to 20 Tailoring. I was able to make all the Heady Kiola though and have all the mats and patterns. About to make the long trek to EC from Cab wish me luck.

Monk progress: I am level 17 now and have a cured silk set with Wu's Quivering for a weapon. I made the move to Antonica once I trained FD and got a bind at the gypsy camp in NK because I'm thoroughly sick of FOB and like the old world better. I know how to move past guards using sneak and can rinse my coins at the gypsy vendor using Compasses. I'm currently saving for a pair of 5/55 rings but that still leaves my ears empty. I'm curious if I should go for +STR on some ears or +AGI? I went all points into stam at creation..

Karmalaa70 posted:Giving this my annual spin, decided to roll an Iksar Necro. Never played an iksar before, so at level 6 should I be fighting in the pit? At the ramp straight out from the path from Cabilis, 90% of what I conned was red. Is that pretty much how it goes in the pit, just picking out the even cons among the reds? Theres also a spiderling cave a little bit northwest of the noob ramp thats good until 7 or 8. You can farm a shitload of silk there if you wanna go ultra classic and tailor your own starter gear.

MrTheDevious posted:That's an awesome cave I wish I'd known about! The pit is awful from 4-9 or so solo, but P99 pretty much always has a billion lowbie iksar necros in the area. Just find one who isn't awful and duo with him. I did 4-9 on my necro with another necro duo who wasn't a complete moron and it was faster than 1-4 really. Duo eliminates the pet xp issue and you can wreck because of it. We split snare/fear duty and just pulled whites/yellows nonstop that night and ended up 10. FOB shits out so much silk I was able to skill up tailoring and craft my own cured silk set before I graduated to Kurns. Everything you need is in Cab, even Heady Kiola ingredients.

Bybus Slago posted:How does sneak pulling work, exactly? I rolled a monk a while ago and I haven't quite gotten the hang of pulling well. 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. For pulling, in this instance, there are 2 mobs at a campfire but they're facing away from the mob I wanted so I hit sneak and move near, they ignore me then I aggro the mob I want by moving into his field of vision and run him away and kill.

SilvergunSuperman posted:One of my favourite things in this game is that any banker is happy to do business while actively attacking you. 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.

Pilsner posted:A fairly comparable camp to the sisters are the two treants in the far northeast corner of South Karana. 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 stuck my head in Sol A last night to see what its like as everything good in SK seemed to be camped to poo poo. I killed a couple mobs and they went down easy then some level 60 twat brought a train to zone. I didnt die but I didnt want to venture any deeper yet. Was gonna go hit 35 off the dwarves in OOT today and hit the jackpot when I found the sisters open  Gonna sit here today and hit 35 and farm up 1600pp for 2x Diamondine ears. (Got my 2x SoS already from halfling guards) feels good man.

tyler is a joke posted:so now that I have some money, I'd like to start getting some real gear. Half of my slots are still Damask or Raw silk. Level 31 enchanter. I have 140 int and 148 cha. Slots that I really need to upgrade are: Head, gloves, shoulders, belt, legs, feet. I don't have a ton of money so I probably have a budget of under 2k. Thoughts? (Head) Runed Cowl 900p (Hands) Dusty Bloodstained Gloves 300p (Shoulders) Mantle of Mirth 100p (Waist) Lizardscale Belt 100p (Legs) Drake-hide Leggings 150p (Feet) Loam Encrusted Lined Shoes 700p or Wolf Fur Slippers 400p Is all a little over or under 2k depending on the feet. You could also splurge a little and get Impskin Gloves for hands but those are 2k by themselves :p

Bybus Slago posted:Maybe I'm missing something, but the sisters camp doesn't seem like very good money to me. About 1pp per belt, and I haven't seen anything else. The exp is pretty decent, but man I hate catching the boat to OOT. Theres 2 sisters in a hut by themselves that are level 25- Larisa Gelrith and Ascania Halvbin that drop a Longsword that vendors for 11pp each. They are both 6 minute spawns so thats 220 plat per hour The other sisters named: a Sister of Erollisi drop the 1p belt, they are good for xp around 15 or so. I think the confusion comes in because its called sister isle, theres "a Sister of Erollisi" low level mobs that roam and people call the two money chicks in the hut together "sisters". Its a great camp for an enchanter or monk because your inventory will fill up fast and you need to be able to vendor on the isle. If you leave the isle to vendor you'll come back to find somone took the camp. Enchanters vendor at the dwarf smith in the back and I, as a monk just vendored right at the Inn down the hill from the camp using sneak.

faulteroy posted:In between spawns, you can clear out the gargoyle island for some extra cash too. They drop 1-3 eyes per kill, which sell for 9pp each to vendors and I believe are used in some cultural tradeskilling. Yep I know all about the gargs and the sisters. I cant believe I forgot about Gornit though. I used to kill his rear end many years ago with my mage. Potentially camping him is better than the sisters because he drops straight plat (hill giant plat) and you dont have to vendor as much + the toes. I went to EC with toes last night and did one auction- my window filled up with mages wanting to buy them toes for 50p. They are used for the beginner level focus items for mage pets. Ice and fire giant toes I had no problem selling for 50p each.
