Well easily the most fun I ever had was splitting mobs and chain pulling for groups with my monk, and tanking poo poo during the hilariously broken era. But I feel like if I'm going to do it again I need to give something different a shot.

I have never had the opportunity to own a fungi on live. Hoping to one day here. Unfortunately I choose the worst class for farming solo (Rogue). At say level 55 how much plat per hour could you grind solo realistically? I am guessing it is chump change compared to doing a mediocre job trading in EC?

Unless you want to do the EC thing, your best bet to get a fungi as a rogue would be to make an rear end-shaped impression at King camp and hope your rolls don't suck, or do other high value camps like crypt/emp and hope you scrape together enough items to pay for one (or get lucky and snag Torpor or something).

Because I am OCD, I really want to complete the Ivy Etched Armor set for my ranger alt. I just acquired the tunic, which makes for 5 of 6 total pieces in my collection. Those drat boots though...  Here's the deal with the boots. You need to make a Bar of Ronium. This is why nobody does the quest and why nobody is ever selling the boots in EC tunnel. Ronium is a biiiiiitch. Per the wiki, to produce a Bar of Ronium, you need to do the following: P99 Wiki posted:Obtain the mold from Lord Searfire [Dwarven Smith], in the Temple of Solusek Ro. He must consider you amiably before he will deal with you. To raise faction with him you can either hunt the shadowed men or you can give gold 30gp at a time (very expensive) to an Erudite NPC in the Southern Desert of Ro until he cons amiable to you. Once your faction is high enough return to the Temple of Solusek Ro, and hail the Dwarven Smith and then say "What Ronium" and then he will give you the sol cauldron, and then he will tell you the ingredients that you must acquire to make the metal ronium. So, I already have the Melatite, the 2x Bar of Enchanted Platinum, the Mistmoore Granite, and the Sand of Ro. The ONLY thing I don't have is Soil of Underfoot which is no drop. Mostly because gently caress dwarves. These little nuggets have the worst possible ways to gain faction. No easy turnins if you are KOS to them (I'm Iksar.) If I wanted to get my dwarf faction to the point where I could do the turnin to get Soil of Underfoot, I would need to kill nearly 1000 orcs in Crushbone (much to the chagrin of the many newbies there I'm sure) just to get non-KOS with Storm Guard. THEN I would have to hunt Orc Slavers for endless days to farm their keys to do the Slaver Keys turnin quest to get my Kaladim Miners faction up. ONLY THEN can I actually turn in piles of bone chips to the dwarf paladin guild master and get my faction high enough to be amiable where I could turn in the 4x Fairy Dust to get Soil of Underfoot.  So here's my plea to someone. I don't want to grind that dwarf faction. I will trade you all of the items you need to do this combine for me. All I need you to do is to have these three things:
I can provide everything else. Then you just click combine and give me the Bar of Ronium, I turn into the ranger dude in Kithicor to get my boots, and I can die a happy man. I can front some platinum for this or basically whatever. Just remember, FasionQuest is real and this is a Very Important Post.

That iksar cab farm spot, was being done on and off on red for over 5-6 months. millions of plat farmed. Know one of the enchanters who took 2mil plat total and he didn't do it as much as others. Its pretty stupid honestly, the plat needs to be removed but they have already bought up all a bunch of big items(~5 tstaffs were bought for 180-200k, atleast 3 manastones 130k of note) alone, not to mention how much of this plat was dropped on other stuff like cof/fungis etc just to get rid of it and spread it into the playerbase. ANYWAY, For those on red that were playing with <God's Work> from blaze/slamdunk/fresh etc about 8 months ago. We are all playing again, all of us are in <good guys> for the most part, slaying dragons and getting exp/vp keys etc. Looking for those dozen or so core members we got and put bard epics, tstaff monk, donal bp clerics that just quit afterwards. Post up here on the forums or look for Penthesilea in game if you are back playing again, or if you aren't playing just so we can get a headcount of those dedicated players that poofed and even the casuals we had. <Good Guys> is basically to topple empire down and hopefully form up into a even better guild after we get it sorted out. Right now its made up of the other ~5 guilds that weren't Empire.

a real jerk posted:Is there intense competition for planar trash on blue? Guild I'm in seems convinced that's the case, I find it hard to believe. Fear and Hate trash are still farmed pretty regularly by the more casual raid guilds, which is actually really healthy for the server as it gives new players a way to get some gear (and old players gear up alts), but I wouldn't exactly call it "intense competition". The guild I'm in has one scheduled planar trash raid a week on average, and there's typically an "unofficial raid" or two as well to either Fear or Hate. Sometimes someone else has cleared a plane before a raid so we do something else instead. Inimicul posted:I made that ding the notification sound on my phone.

Is <Unknown Guild> still a thing? I've /who all Unknown multiple times and I've never seen anyone on. Is the goon guild under a different name these days? I'm returning after a 5 year hiatus. If any of you were around circa 2010 I played a magician named Veemith. Anyways, I'm playing a barb shaman named Itfergs. Let me know who to send a /tell to for an invite.

I'm usually on my characters that aren't tagged UG but if you want an invite I can hook you up.

lol some guy on p99 had a mental breakdown, attacked a woman and her dog with a mace  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1y48ITnS1jk Eptar posted:Raptors in TD definitely seemed faster, I was sowed and should have been strafing in a wide enough circle but they caught me and wrecked me. Movement speed on every mob in the game is broken right now. Some mobs can outrun my level 50 bard with selo's drum. DoT's are also not ticking the correct amount, which had the odd side effect of breaking every single offensive bard song in the game. There's no reason to even log in if you're a bard -- charm kiting is broken, fear kiting is broken, swarm kiting is broken, and you can't lull or mez for groups anymore.

Yeah move speed is definitely bugged. There's some dude named Imslap from TMO who is often in the EC tunnels. He has a sword that instead of casting the buff it is supposed to casts SoW instead. That SoW though is actually some kind of bugged Super SoW and it makes you go blazing fast. Like an aggroed Petrifin kind of fast. He's cast it on me two times now and I can clear the entire West Commonlands zone from one side to the other in just a few minutes. It only works in WC though. As soon as you zone, it converts back to a normal low level cast SoW. I'm not really sure what practical use this is other than that I find it hilarious to run around at that speed and I suppose you could kite whatever you wanted in WC with ease.

Imslap cast it on me in Unrest and when I backed up from casting on a mob I almost ended up in the main room from the fireplace, insane speed. Just started EQ a couple of weeks ago, used to play a Ranger on Karana server from launch until about 2002, having a go as a necro now and loving it.

There's plenty of stuff you can farm -- Shrunken Goblin Skull Earring, Bracer of the Hidden, Goblin Gazughi Ring. MQ pieces as well. Goblin ring is my favorite since it sells for 6-7k and usually only takes a couple hours to get one. Rogue epic MQ is also a good option but you may need some friends to help.

Do you play a tracking class to farm the goblin ring? I imagine it would be tough otherwise to round up all those listed mobs.

It helps but it's not required. Just run around gathering up all of the mobs in the area and then kill them near the spawn points. If you don't see pops on the courier spawn points after 30 seconds, you missed a placeholder. You can also just sit on the spawn points and kill anything that comes near. You'll eventually kill the placeholders as they roam back to those spots, takes a while though.

I am going to give this game another try. I got burned out a few months back when I rolled an Iksar Necromancer as my first character. I didn't make it very far (Level 20). I feel like I made a mistake by making an evil race. Does anyone have a recommendation for a starting race or area?

Iksar Necromancers are the best and playing the game KOS to everything is the ultimate experience.  It's all about learning the secret passages and banker tricks and you can get by.Buuuut if you must play one of the pansy good races, I suggest any of the elves and starting on Faydwer. Leveling in Greater Faydark is pretty fun. You can solo bats / rats / skeletons until level 4, then join an orc hill group until level 7 or 8, then progress onto Crushbone. Very classic newbie experience. Once you hit your teens you can make a bunch of money killing the bandit sisters in Lesser Faydark, and when those are camped you can find groups in Unrest. Unrest is a crazy place (trains to zone about every three seconds), but it has a crazy high zone experience modifier (ZEM) and will level you very fast. It's also a big haunted mansion and who doesn't love those? The other newbie experience that I personally enjoyed was going either half elf or barbarian and starting in the northwest of Antonica. You can start in Qeynos or Halas and work your way from the newbie zones up to Blackburrow, which is basically the gnoll version of Crushbone. Fun newbie dungeon zone with good exp and gnoll fang drops that you can turn in for experience and loot to speed along the boring early levels. Friend me Xeirak in-game and I'm happy to answer any newbie questions. We can also get you tagged in Unknown Guild too. Lots of goons are leveling in their teens and twenties right now.
