Thanks again for your help last night Dustoph. Hopefully I'll be up to speed with your druid soon and we can start rockin stuff that way.

Anyone else got a lowbie on blue? I've met some cool folks but goons are far and away the best. JohnnyDangerously/Idge, I've been looking for you but maybe we just play at different times.

Got the robe. Holy poo poo, I can see why you died. Guardian is nearly 100% root resistant, and the oracle doubles for 80s. They stripped all by my last three buffs, Sow skin levi (the ones that matter :smugdog:) but robe was looted in the end.

Hey red pals,

What's the preferred goon guild of choice?

The setup right now is basically low level mains in our guild SLAMDUNKATRON and around 46+ mains in Eternal Light and then alts kind of wherever you want to put them. Or if you just want to stay in the goon guild you can.

Currently up to level 13 on my wizzy (Drstrange) over in field of bone, would like to hit up Kurn's but every time I go in there, the place is packed. Just like the old days I guess! I'm down to group with anyone in the area, regardless.

I am just putting this up here so people know there are some scum that linger in pretty much every guild especially when one has as long of history as azrael, even holocaust. I know some of the goons went to EL which isn't azrael, but does ally with it time to time. For the most part Azrael has some cool people in it, but there are people in most guilds who will push everything to the limits even risking suspension/30day bans to wipe a raid as so:

God's Work went to do Ragefire tonight, We fought at KC before hand where we won so we went to RF uncontested. The way ragefire works for those that don't know is you turn a pearl into the human version, and essentially the dragon with the loot and cleric epic piece spawn and can be killed. Anyway we ourselves had a monk train up while we killed any possible giants that couldve aggro'd us. (2 at door, 1 pather + magi in naggy lair). Fire Giants have a huge aggro range, Hence why a gater was used to do this because he can easily run into the lava tube while he knows the giants are running past naggys door and he gates and anyone in lair gets instant aggro guaranteed.

Sorry in advance for bad quality video(it locks up for a few seconds into the video because I had to tab out to make sure it was running, used a hotkey to toggle it.) Most guilds on the server have scum in them, People willing to go to this extreme you want to stay away from. Chubs is basically a open druid so a lot of azrael members have access to him so no idea who it actually was. Because of the loss of Derubael, The amount of GMs/Guides on Red are extremely scarce now. Mostly they will come in once a week and clear a few things up. They require way too much proof to get someone suspended for trains, Lot of people stopped bothering making petitions because of this and just make it known. If anything, heres to living through a train on ragefire only to find he had a cloak of flames that was nearly lost =)

Ahh nostalgia, you cruel bitch
Isn't training allowed on Red? If not, that's a stupidass rule for a PvP server that's already a shitfest of unbalanced bullshit just due to how EQ works

No, training is not allowed on red

but good luck proving it

Pwnz0r
Sep 21, 2005
Indeed, proving a train is near impossible. When they first started really enforcing suspensions for it, I had multiple characters suspended for training some that were not even online or in the zone at the time of said trains. The GM's finally cut back on insta suspensions because they realized people were abusing the trust. So GM's started asking for screenshots and logs, Turns out it wasn't enough. One dude even had literally the highest quality video taken of a monk clearly running up with mobs and FDing on a group, And they couldn't do anything because they had no idea of the 'context' of the situation despite him out of pvp range. Basically people only get suspended for training now when a GM is present watching over, and Red has only 1-2 GM's and when they login they are usually busy taking care of petitions and cannot watch boss fights to ensure things go smoothly. A few trakanons back Sirken and Eunomia were filming a red99 promo vid thing but they made their presence clear and 0 trains happened which was amazing considering a trak fight always ends up with huge spore/reet/jugg trains. That's why I don't bother trying to prove it to GM's anymore, Most of the time they know its true but they can't just press the suspend button.

Training has always been an issue on red, but until the recent months it was never as bad. There was at one point, were training VP was legal on red. So one bard being rez boxxed in n out could waste an entire VP raids time for 5-6 hours, And Lite of Azrael did this numerous times. The rules did not change until Azrael was able to finally compete in VP did the no training in VP become illegal. Red attracts all type of people, A lot of them rejects from blue who were ran off by something that I suppose sometimes works? By naming and shaming a person. But again Red GM decisions are generally based solely either how the GM is currently feeling or sometimes if they are biased.

Characters have been stripped/deleted by others who had access and fully restored(one dude even got his char restored with crown of rile, VS gloves and more items he didn't have pre deletion) with bans to the persons account who did it. Other accounts have been similarly stripped and no action taken, no item reimbursement. When you are running around with fungi's. manastones, AoN's. It is extremely hard to trust anyone with your account info except for those you know irl or have known a long time well enough to know they wont screw you. Plenty of people have been screwed recently by stuff like this, Most recently a holo officer. His AoN alone worth $500 for RMT, so some are in it for pure greed.

Also should anyone need, I have spare ragefire hearts for cleric MQ as well as orb of the frozen water(from the priest robe) if you have the ixi scepter/singed scroll off royals or the orb already from it and want to finish your epic let me know. Have endless supply of RF hearts, Orb of Frozen Water I guess around 5 at least. I think EL and possibly holo have both been doing royals and ixi lately?

EL hasn't done Ragefire / Ixi / Royals since I've been with them. The only successful thing downed is Maestro or hate trash clearing. There really hasn't been an attempt at anything else.

I'd definitely take you up on the cleric MQ help though, as of now I am the only person who has a cleric (and it's an alt) out of all of us playing with EL. EL has a good base of clerics, but none of them have click sticks for the most part.

Heshling: I've got fizz camped at the dude in Lake Rathe w/ 100p and bottles of milk. I'll be on and off most of the day.

I am not sure anymore. When we were all in SLAMDUNKATRON we definitely had some classes we needed more than others. Perhaps someone else can give you some suggestions and some pvp server specific stuff about different classes but in any case I would only roll what you want to play. I don't personally have any gear on me as a starter packs but I do have plat if its easily buyable for a reasonable price (not rich), some other goons might have some starter gear banked though depending on the class.

Groups on red are always annoying to find a good one, But generally if me or my bro aren't doing anything guild related we are PLing alts and usually always have extra room for the 20-50s groups, 50+ groups depends entirely on time/location really. Wish there was some easier way for all the goons on red to find out whos on at same time. Got a group mid 30s just AFK pling them right now while I watch interstellar. Can never have enough portbots and clerics.

On the monk Robe of the Lost Circle front, I've killed 16 placeholders for Brother Qwinn now just to do the drat turn-in and he still hasn't showed his face. In other news, I have a lot of Crown of Leaves. After camping gnoll pups, putrid skeletons, the High Shamen in SK, the Dagger of Marnek, Zaharn's Coronet, Targin, and Raster, there's still more to go. All the more reason to just kill Brother Z/Q for the drat robe.

God drat the groups on red loving blow unless you're being PL'ed 99.9% of the time.

I've spent the last 3-4 days at 35 in MM just trying to get loving something going but people are flaky as gently caress on this server and just loving suck.

I was in slamdunkatron, but ended up leaving because for a few days the only people that were on was latege or coolbert because I think the majority bounced to EL. I'd do the same...if I could ever get past level thirty loving five!

LAWL.

FWIW, BDA also had the option of 1 week raid suspension. They opted for class C, since VP will be empty for a week, then after that, 1 week vs IB. Then they're just going to kill FFA mobs for a month, which will drop them back to R, and rejoin the rotation (at the bottom of the list presumably).

So yeah, they hosed up, but they make a conscious decision about to handle the results. Vast majority of members are excited about the (temporary) change. And they did kill Hoshkar - no idea how many wipes it took though, heh.

I quested this just for fun on red, to get my already epic monk his whistling fists robe instead of calling out some pals to kill qwinn/zephyl. Are you reading the wiki guide on spawning qwinn? It helps if you have a level 30ish ranger you can track half the zone and find narra and the PH's very easily. It took me about 2 hours to pop him intentionally which was annoying because I spawn him all the time while I farm quillmane cloaks by killing narra and escaped gnolls for fun.

I got everything except the dagger of marnek myself, the coronet was easy luckily. Targin took 2 repops, Raster happened to spawn while I was camping noble for an extra WGN for my SK's life leech quest(ran by, saw human npc standing there was like no way...took me like 60+ hrs on live to get raster) so it was nice doing it all over again. crafted my robe(after 4 fails of shadow silk crafts with a skill of 90 tailoring) and balatin spawned first PH for whistling fist. Robes look awesome on iksars, whistling fist especially but I think the PD robe looks the best by far with its nice light blue.

I followed the wiki and he finally popped yesterday early morning after 8.5 hours of killing the Narra Tanith and splitpaw gnoll placeholders. Now I'm just struggling with getting tailoring up/finding a tailor after making human alts to buy the spells in FP. I really hope I don't fail on the shadow silk. Any ideas on farming spider silk?
