Anyone on test willing to send a suit of abstruse bard armor to Navrant? I've been watching the bazaar but none have popped up. By the way, I'm still on during the weekends with my sk/shm/brd group if anyone wants to join. I'm 83 and just about to head into Ashengate for the first time.

I haven't played since Velious and I didn't think the game would be able to grab me again but so far I love it. I've made a necro just so I can mess around solo for awhile and maybe farm some plat before I make alts. So far I've just been soloing bears and stuff in Crescent Reach and I'm at level 12. I know levelling is a lot faster now, but is there any gear or are there any quests that I should be looking for other than just parking somewhere and killing stuff over and over?

I'm close to hitting 95 now on my box group (monk/war/bard/sham/dru) and am looking for some "projects" to work on. By that, I mean stuff like the MPG trials that maybe not everyone knows about these days, but can still offer a nice bonus for high level characters. I'm thinking about doing the DoN raid progression for the AAs it unlocks next. Anyone have some other suggestions for older quest lines that would still be of benefit to modern characters?

There are also all those old "rite of passage" quests from The Temple of Solusek Ro, like Burning Rapier, Monk headband/sash quests, Totemic/Lambent/etc. Armor.

There's that type 3 aug with a dodge skill modifier bought from the points you get for doing Everfrost Lost Dungeons instances. Thete's also the classic missions from Old Man Mckenzie in pok. Those have some unique and useful effects on them for some classes.

DoN progression AAs MPG resist AAs 2.0s for select classes OoW BPs for select classes PoR raid and group BPs for select classes DoN quest clickie from Vish + Yar'lir eyes for select classes Dodge aug from EF LDoNs Specialization aug(s) from LDoN raids (type 8 augs, so needs raid gear) PoSky quested items for select classes Shawl quest line for most classes Old Man McKkenzie clickies of various power BiC aug is still useful for some classes DA clickies from various missions. Wood elf illusion 'quest' Jester illusion & 24 slot bag quest I'm sure there's stuff I'm missing. It's a bit easier when you're only looking for 1 or 2 classes and can cut a lot of these. From current stuff, the Crystal Circle builder's aug, the collection aug and the Hero aug are all really good.

Are you planning on powerleveling to 80+ and then going back and breezing through? Or do you mean to get the best gear possible from the bazaar as you level up doing those quests? One way is far cheaper than the other! On FV, lvl 70 and under raid gear is for some reason more expensive than lvl 75, 80, 85, sometimes 92 raid gear. Money can go quicker than you think. Casters are cheaper than melee classes to equip. Rangers are another class to consider. If you want to maximize your plat, I'd do the following: 70k Buy Ceremonial Elixir of Scholarship in bazaar (10 charge double exp pot) 200k Get a PL lvl 1-70. 2 hours maybe, with exp pots. You need an AOE of some sort. Mages, wizards, bards are good here, as are drakkin with breath. 180k Get ye to Honeybooboo in Feerot. Dude has been 8-boxing feerot for months and is quite good at getting you massive exp in a short time. 2 hours to get to 80, with exp pots. ??? Buy cheap lvl 80 gear, bypass the expensive twink gear economy entirely!

The bracer is no-drop even on FV so it is more precious to me. On a normal server it's a tough choice but the aug get worse and worse every year while the bracer does what it does all the time.

Even on FV I still thing the aug would be a better choice since let's be real here, how badly do you need to be able to get to shard's RIGHT NOW that a ring would be faster than gating to lobby or anchoring to a guild hall? Now imagine later when next expansion is in Mithaniel Marr's brain or whatever they manage to go with next. I mean I'm all for utility items but I still think the aug's gonna be a better sell down the road than the ring.

The aug has good enough stats to be worth using for another 3-4 expansions. The dru/wiz port in spot is also terrible in SL. Anchor -> GH -> SL probably gets you where you want to go faster than running from the SL zone in.

You underestimate my laziness. It's 1 zone-in vs 2, it's free and with a fast mount it's quick. Also better for City of Bronze! In 4-5 expansions I'd rather have this. It would be an interesting race to SL proper though. I don't doubt it would be close. The aug on FV can always be bought or sold, the bracer can't. It's a great aug that's why I bought it. I also think Shard's Landing will be a uniquely awesome zone for powerleveling and will be popular for for quite some time once the gear can handle it.

It's not going to be useless for a few years. Hell, even the leap from VoA -> RoF augs wasn't really that large. I haven't really played in T3 RoF but T2 augs outsides of the bastard in breeding grounds were mostly poo poo.

For you Optimal playing tanks, here's a really useful hotkey that automates the steam suit illusion, removing the illusion, then going in to simple gnomework. /pause 16,/useitem 31 1 <location of your Polymorph Wand: Steam Suit> /block add me 12401 /block remove me 12401 /useitem 32 2 <Location of your Polymorph Wand: Simple Gnomework> You'll need to put in the location of your two illusion items, obv. But this saves a bunch of clicks and annoyance every time you need to rebuff. If you have a higher ping, raise the pause, 18ish for 120ms seems to work. jetz0r fucked around with this message at 06:36 on Jun 7, 2013 |

I ran a few LDoN last night, working towards the dodge aug. There is a trick to requesting one at high levels, since the average level can't exceed 82, and you can't have more than a 15 level spread. Basically, all you need to do is invite one character to your group and have them camp out for the duration. That player counts as a level 0 for your average, but doesn't count against your level spread since it is camped out. I was able to get my group of 5 level 94 dudes in with no problem. Also, I'd suggest killing every mob and looting. Seemed the average coin drop was about 12p per corpse, and there were lots of gems as well. Mob density is pretty high, so it adds up quick.

Didn't they patch out the upper level limit for LDoNs a while back? I was lucky enough to have enough points saved up from when the expansion was new, so I didn't have to run them after I returned to EQ. It was a great expansion by the way, and I wish they made a newer one like it. Super easy to find a group, and people were dungeon crawling instead of camping.

You know, honestly I didn't even try requesting one normally first. Everything I found online pointed to a level cap, but with a game this old it's hard finding current info on everything. I'll have to try it later. I've been playing off and on since beta, but LDoN never really grabbed me. Most of my play time was spent raiding, and I wasn't a fan of instanced content back then. I love instances now that I play mostly solo/boxing though. Edit: Yup, I'm a retard. Was just able to request an LDoN with 5 94's in group, no problems.

LDON cap is long since gone. Takes about 3 hours to go from no points to dodge aug, so do that for sure no matter what class you are. Anyone using the SL quest for the port click instead of aug is retarded. By the time you don't use the aug anymore, you also won't be going to SL for anything. Don't be stupid, get the aug or we'll all make fun of your dumb rear end

Anyone on FV who picks the aug instead is retarded or more likely broke I guess. You can have both, but not if you pick the aug as a quest reward. I am thankful for those people though or I would not have both.

Ok some dumb questions I should have asked a long time ago: Take out the effects of the 4000/400% AA scaling, and are AA and regXP tied together? What I mean is, if I kill a yellow con mob with slider at 100% it can give like up to 90% AA, it seems that these mobs give a lot of regular XP as well. This makes sense to me and is how I pictured it in my mind, why else would the AA slider exist if AA can't be made equivalent to regular XP. My problem is I see a lot of people talking about and doing AA xping on lt.blue mobs, and then do regular XPing on yellow/white mobs. Why is this, how can something be good AA but not regXP? This makes it seem like there's some special magic formula XP that lt.blue mobs give with regards to AA. Or is this something special with swarming classes? Maybe it's a matter of milking an easy camp to catch up on their AAs before they hit a new zone. I just don't get the traditional mindset that lightblues are for AA and blue/white/yellow mobs for XP. God drat this post is a mess, anyways: As a 3boxing group; regular pulling, tanking, DPSing, no kiting, root rotting, or AOE. At low 90s where should I XP, and if possible, get some loots that aren't 4 expansions behind? I have HoT t3 access, my gear is a little slacking non-visible wise but I have some RoF t1 armor in the works when I get 92. darkhand fucked around with this message at 02:08 on Jun 9, 2013 |

Finish HoT flagging and if one of your boxes is a wizard/druid GET TELEPORT BIND (Best AA ever) and bind yourself in Sanctum Somnium or Morell's Castle. Kodaji did a lot of Morell's so he can comment on camps there but when I was on test 9/10 I'd port up to SS and have it to myself. Good for burning pots/LOTD past 93ish but at 90 it's superb XP. There's a safe camp near the fountain at the zone in where its hard to run out of mobs at 90. Even at 95 with some stretching I could keep a mob in camp without waiting too long.

Morell's sucks rear end, I just wanted augs there. Don't xp in MC, go to SS and plow faces if you're just after xp. SS has augs to pick up too. Once you get the 92 gear, everything before it is obsolete other than augs, so just plow to 92 in SS

darkhand posted:Ok some dumb questions I should have asked a long time ago: From my experience, the difference between yellow and light blue is indeed greater when it comes to regular XP, although I haven't tested it. Killing yellows for real XP yields seriously nice chunks of XP, whereas the difference between yellows and light blues for AA XP doesn't seem that great compared to the effort. It might still just be my imagination. The main reason people mass grind light blues for AA though is simply because that's your only option at high levels. Killing single yellows remains viable up to level 100 actually, but not en masse, and particularly not once you get to HoT+ content. Light blues though remain decent AA XP (and also mediocre normal XP), and can be mowed down by the dozens depending on your class.

After a million swarm sessions + tons of xping in RoF, the mechanics are most certainly different for the two. Like Illa just said, yellows/reds are the only honestly efficient means of regular xp, but mass plowing light blues is flat better AA/hr until you're way deep into 100 and can assrape T3 RoF mobs to the point they're dying every 30 seconds Relic CoP drop - totally stupid, better off camping the stuff in Elddar. That said, RoF T3 has a named for every tier 1 circle, so if you don't have one, go camp those instead. The CoPower is off of Glorig in Chelsith, same mob who drops the EM 14
