Welp decided to roll a new halfling warrior named Lilwayne, we'll see how this goes. When's the next time somebody who isn't me is doing a PL? Also, wtb cheap warrior gear, I have about 1000p to spend for now. Or... Should I make a ranger? I'm so confused. HEY VAPER fucked around with this message at 12:22 on Sep 13, 2014 |

So is there anything to the old EQ1 rumor that having high int increases your chance of skill ups in tradeskills, and CHA increases your success chance? Does it work that way still in P1999 or is it changed to be more fair to idiot races?

Nobody's taken the wu's staff yet either. If you're on the fence about starting a character on red, make an iksar monk, get PL'd to 20, and take this awesome staff!!! Also any way I could trade some plat for rubies? I could use some for my crafted set, and it would be nice to get them for less than they cost from the vendor =) HEY VAPER fucked around with this message at 07:05 on Sep 14, 2014 |

How many / which gems do you need? Gems work very well for plat transferring, just a few plat difference between buy/sell. Rubies can be bought for 132p, and sold for 123-127 depending on standing. I can help you with some, we have few hundred plat left over for helping newbies get started and some rubies for handouts.

On Blue as Traman the Iksar Shaman! Got to level 5 and amazed how much like the old days this server is. Already sold a couple stacks of bone chips for some cash and was gifted some sort of agi belt by a passing monk. Question: How does a completely new player gather spell money? I just don't see getting 30+pp by the time level 9 rolls around.

Already sold a couple stacks of bone chips for some cash and was gifted some sort of agi belt by a passing monk. You could ask for cash, I am sure someone would help you. Otherwise, those bone chips are going to add up. You are going to be rolling in them until level 20 or so if you stick around FOB. If you leave FOB and head to the mainland, hunt cats,bears and spiders. There is a good market for HQ pelts and silks. Or just don't buy all of your level nine spells. pick them up when you have the chance.

Kean and I are pimping out a PK duo of shadowknights right now. Someone should make a bard or maybe a cleric to roll some faces with us. I'll help with gear and stuff if you're not already established on red too WTF BEES posted:On Blue as Traman the Iksar Shaman! Got to level 5 and amazed how much like the old days this server is.

Message Hardon and I'll give you a bunch of spell money next time I'm on Also, collect bone chips. If you're an iksar, you can also farm a lot of platinum in the sarnak fort once you get to your 20's. The sarnark tabards are worth 500 platinum, and the bracers of the hidden are worth up to 12,000 platinum. With some luck you can get quite rich in there, you'll never get PKed, and the exp isn't THAT much slower than MM/unrest/OT/etc.

Just had a killer WW giant fort group with Kuraii and Prok. After Kurns, I highly recommending doing giants as a group. Nice controlled pulls and decent vendor trash. I think three forest loops dropped as well. Plus our capital city is like 45 seconds of travel away (vendors in zone too), assuming you're legit and are a lizard. Edit:forgot to mention level range, we had dudes in group that were as low as level 19 and gained five or six levels throughout.

WTF BEES posted:On Blue as Traman the Iksar Shaman! Got to level 5 and amazed how much like the old days this server is. Already sold a couple stacks of bone chips for some cash and was gifted some sort of agi belt by a passing monk. You threw me a few pitiful buffs. I am Zliz the Iksar Monk.I've been thinking about writing up a little "get going" solo guide for Iksars, so now is a good time. I am saving every copper, literally, in order to be able to afford a few good weapons and starting armor. Grinding XP To begin with, all should be centered around two things: Killing skeletons and doing the Curscale Armor Quest. As the first thing you do, go to East Cabilis and to the "Haggle Baron" building in the center (across from the Court of Pain Monk guild). Inside is a dude named Klok Mugruk. Hail him and go through the motions, and say "I will perform a small service". This will immediately give you an 8-slot bag and a quest to go fill it with 8 Curscale Skins. Now head on out to the field. You main targets should be skeletons, as they drop cash, bone chips and often weapons (Kunark equivalent of rusty weapons), and of course the curscale wolf pups and cubs. As soon as your inventory is full, go to the ruins outside of Cabilis and sell, then go back. When you have 8 Curscale Skins, combine them and head back to Klok Mugruk and hand it in. You will get a little cash, good XP, and a random piece of cloth armor. Repeat repeat repeat! As soon as you have saved up around 5 gold and some silver, you can buy a Backpack, sold by a few different vendors in Cabilis. This is worth it so you don't have to go vendor constantly. Monks should save up 1 platinum and go for Medicine Bag, as they weigh only 0.4 each. Don't worry, hitting combine with random items in it won't destroy them like it did in classic. Monks, don't sweat the 14-stone weight limit too much, just don't be overweight too much strength-wise, as it will hinder your ability to flee for the guards. At level 5 you will still gain a little XP for killing level 1 mobs, so particularly for melee classes, I recommend continuing the mass slaughter of level 1 and 2 mobs. You can mix in killing bugs and such also. If you've been going for the skeletons and curscale quest, you should have plenty of cash for your spells now. At level 6 the gravy train comes to a bit of a stop as the level 1 mobs no longer give XP. There are still a fair amount of level 2+ mobs in the newbie area, but it is a pickle to get XP. Personally I continued grinding Curscale until level 8. Each hand-in gained me 1 blue bubble, so it was slow, but nice cash, and easy. I filled up two bags at a time (combine one as you go to save weight). You should also have some class-specific quests you can do to mix it up, such as necromancer skullcap and monk bracers. At level 8 the Curscale quest gives too little XP to make sense. You're now ready for "the pit", the huge pit in the center of FoB. Your main targets are bonecrawlers, iksar footpads, skeletons ("skeleton", not the bigger ones), large scorpions, and the carrion beetles. At level 8/9/10, depending on class, you should gain a big boost in power due to new spells and/or abilities. As a Monk, I got upgraded fist damage (from 5/36 to 6/36), plus Tiger Claw, which greatly increased my offense. I could now grind the lower level mobs all day without break, and also go for scalebone skeleton, iksar bandit and greater scorpion. If you're sick of FoB, you can also head out into the surround areas. Swamp of No Hope has mobs from level 1 up, but it is dangerous as there are trees and hills all over, making it easy to get ambushed. There are also almost no one else there. Lake of Ill Omen also supports newbies just outside of Cabilis, but with a lot more high level wandering mobs than the FoB newbie area. Getting money Skeletons drop bone chips plus weapons that vendor for about 2 gold each. Save all bone chips. Some might say that no one buys bone chips in Kunark since they're abundant, but I was lucky and sold all the 10 stacks of chips I had saved up to a ranger who was doing Cabilis faction work (quest to hand in 4 bone chips at at time). I got 5p per stack. Generally speaking, I save everything and vendor it, and even exchange my copper in the bank. If you're lazy, destroy copper and skip looting items that vendor for mere coppers, such as spiderling legs and wolf scales. Also save Spider Silk. No one will buy it in a newbie area, but I heard it sells for up to 10p per stack in EC, so it will come in handy later. My next goal is to hit level 17, get Feign Death, grind it up, then make the dangerous journey to EC and buy some Monk gear. It just seems way too dangerous at my current level 11. :o

Already sold a couple stacks of bone chips for some cash and was gifted some sort of agi belt by a passing monk. My druid is currently bound in Field of Bone so stick Enzz and Enzee on your friends list and message me if you see me online. Assuming I'm not in a group, I'll pop on over and give you some cash for your spells. Maybe PL a little bit. I can port you out when/if you feel like ditching Kunark as well. You'll run into some issues with faction, but there are a few tricks and specific spots that make that sort of stuff much less of a big deal, and I can elaborate if need be. Just be prepared to deal with the trip back to Cabilis whenever you have to buy new spells, which isn't particularly dangerous but involves waiting a loooooong time for boats (and don't you dare try to take shortcuts by getting a port to Dreadlands because that will get you killed). If you want to get social though, it's definitely worth considering. People on blue don't group too much at lowish levels in Kunark, but there's tons of elves and poo poo who want to get together in EC/Oasis/Crushbone/Unrest/MM which will easily take you to your mid 30s with a good variety of places to choose from.

Pilsner posted:My next goal is to hit level 17, get Feign Death, grind it up, then make the dangerous journey to EC and buy some Monk gear. It just seems way too dangerous at my current level 11. :o I left Kunark for Antonica at level 9 on my shaman, and even though I didn't know what the hell I was doing I made it there just fine. Ever since then I've been taking the Oasis<->TD<->OT boat back to get spells every few levels and really the only place you even run into mobs are some very low level ones in Warslik's just outside Cabilis. Stick to the edges of OT and you're extremely unlikely to have issues since there are almost never enemies and the sightlines are perfect. There's nothing at all in your direct path in Timorous Deep. As noted above, though, I don't see much reason to leave until ~20 on red.
