Ashenden posted:Which Aviaks are those at 15? Anywhere nearby for evils to sell? How is the exp? I could use some money and Kurn's Tower is pretty ridiculously overpopulated. Though it's still great experience. I did aviaks on monk and enchanter from 18-24ish. These are the guards near the zone line as well as other guard shacks around. Look up the map for the gypsy camps. They sell to anyone including Iksar. As an iksar monk this was key as you will get a poo poo ton of money via copper/silver. What you do to "bank" with gypsies is sell everything, then buy a ton of compasses. Sell the compasses back. You take a hit of one or two copper I think. This essentially exchanges all your gold/silver/copper for plat. They also sell food/water I think.

I'm imagining friends/guildies with PvP experience will be rolling brutal combos (maybe Druid+Wizards?) and murdering anyone that gets a few levels. Some group is definitely going to dominate the server. Where would you hide to level at that point? Finally the Hybrid Exp Penalty and Snare+Root and patch! But will it also be the epic patch?

 Chiming in with a few Iksar necromancer tips! GEARYour priority is HP, so get fire wedding rings and other HP gear. INT has limited returns at lower levels, so don't worry too much about it. Personally, I went HP>STR>INT so I could tank, spank and haul loot; it's been super effective. Try to save for a Circlet of Shadow, which is the best necro utility item besides jboots. It will be removed at some point toward the end of the SOV timeline, so you have some time to save for one. The Temple of Sol Ro welcomes Iksars on P1999, so that's a good source of equipment quests around 30-35.  MAINLAND FACTIONThe Bloodsabers in the Qeynos Aqueduct are the only mainland necromancer guild that will welcome you. They have a bank, trainers, and vendors. This is an important faction to protect if you leave Kunark before 30, but will limit your hunting because some corrupt Qeynos guards, High Hold guards, and others will possibly drop that faction. Other than that, you can easily fix the basic guard and merchant factions of Neriak with the infamous red wine quest. This also opens up the greater lightstone quests in SRo. However, all Neriak guilds including the Dead will still want to kill you. At 34 you'll get Call of Bones, which will improve your faction with most evil races and guilds.

They're making a hardcore pvp server  I'll stick with blue thank you very much.quote:We are also overdue to enable the January 2001 era on all servers. This will include changes to root/snare stacking, removal of the Class XP penalties + group shared XP modifications, and more. We are able to enable these eras while the server is running, but we identified some issues that will require a patch before we turn it on. This will be happening this week or weekend.  This bodes well for my Iksar SK.

To the people going "nnnnngh this is why red sucks", you sound like wussies. Red hasn't talked poo poo about blue, so that's what I'm doing. You're sweating fear so much I can smell it from here, like smell-o-vision! Either play red, or dont. Nobody wants to hear (perfectly justified reason #X). SO! As a public service, to quell those fears, here is how bad you get PKed: http://www.r99pvp.net/showplayer.php?p=Lahara I'm level 45 now, and I've only been killed once every 5 levels. Every time an ambush. I never successfully ran away from a pvp encounter (even as a bard). Basically, stop being scared, and when that double xp weekend happens, a full group on red will bring you 600% xp. So come on down and try it out! Pks aren't as common as you think, it's not just a clusterfuck (well, maybe on Sunday nights) and 99% of them are pretty respectable about it.

Seriously. "You know what Everquest needs? PERMADEATH." Said nobody in the history of loving ever. It'd be stupid even if it was PvE, but with PvP its double stupid.

Permadeath EQ would be hilariously terrible. No raid bosses would ever be engaged, and the only exp'ing would be groups at a zone line fighting single green con mobs. Every pull would be single mobs. Somehow you'd make EQ even more unfun.

You'd have people exploring more out of the way leveling areas, and people roaming in packs for safety like some kind of post apocalyptic wasteland. It could be interesting to see what strategies people come up with, since end game clearly isn't the goal.

We could just go total douche, find ways to stockpile extra accounts PLing each a toon to max level, Then issue a rallying call to current and former Goonfleet members and start passing out our glorious clone army for one epic night run of sheer raiding mayhem!!!! would require TS squad channels so that each group of roles knows what to press and when. The sheer beauty of such an overwhelming display would surely outshine the many underhanded and nefarious actions we'd make getting there. Too bad Brad took precautions to make sure any sort of joke raid by level 1s on any zone wouldn't do a damned thing. Wish we could just one day swarm Qeynos with total newb flash mob slay all the merchants and have a dance party (I believe my lack of details and the sheer perspicuity and obvious hypothetical nature keeps this post kosher with the rules)

Anarch posted:Can you imagine trying to raid? Or actually do anything for that matter? EQ is practically built around players dying to NPCs, and with PVP in the mix it'll be absolute hell Good grief... they should just remove role/anon flags while they're at it. No one will try to raid, it's an excuse to have fun, ultra high stakes, ultra frustrating PVP. The timespan will be so short, though, that it won't be like Red where there are a hundred best-in-set PVP types and even the average person has years worth of gearing - which currently makes new players have a near-impossible time trying to kill anyone.

If you can't find a gem vendor, the compass trick (or similar items that sell/buy for close to the same) is good. You will lose 10% cash this way, as the minimum difference between buy and sell prices is 10%, but it's better than having to destroy cash for sure.

I'm going to be running a regular crew in Discord as soon as it hits. We're going to be playing when we can but we'll hopefully be pretty hardcore about it - right now we're looking to form a perfect 6 man team or at least have a strong rotating cast of characters. Discord was amazingly fun the first time around and made for a super tense environment of naked idiots running from each other at the drop of a pin. I can't believe we're getting another shot at it but for everyone that hasn't experienced the clusterfuck it is way more fun and comical than you are imagining. My little squad and I are currently playing on red but anyone who is interested should let me know and hopefully we can hook up in the coming weeks on red and start prep-work. Right now there are four of us, but I'd like to see at least 12-18 people who are a dedicated SLAMDUNKATRON team so we can back ourselves up where needed. I'll be starting a separate thread in the coming weeks to discuss Discord-related activities but for now I just want to get a headcount of PVPbros who would be involved. Message me in-game or here, I'm usually on as Willcat during the afternoons/evenings off and on, sometimes as Teddy, and rarely as Scoobs.

Uggrut here. A huge thanks to everyone who gave me help and advice this past weekend! Successfully got into the Unknown Guild and did my first bout of trading in EC. Banded armor and some wisdom jewelry is making a huge difference. As for the Aviaks in Rathetear, I've only messed with them a little bit. They seem like a popular spot now, since the last two times I stopped over there they were camped, but as someone else mentioned earlier in the thread they also seem pretty boring. The loot is nice (bronze weapons and gems), and there are several vendors in the zone, but it's not exciting. Also a couple of the guards seem to be at least lvl 20 so that limits options depending on your level. Also Levitate is a must, unless you want to screw around with those janky little boats, My play time is limited for the next week or two due to work, but I'll be toying around with either the aviak guards or checking out the Karanas when I get back. After learning how much of a difference gear makes, and knowing that the really good Shaman spells are still 5 levels away, money making will be a prime concern over leveling for a little while. If you're in the Rathe area and see Uggrut, say hi and I can give you a SoW/Levitate!

I have a 55 mage and 39 monk sitting on blue, and back on live I never really got to experience anything in Velious, so I have no idea where I'd even start. I also have a 2nd account with a lowbie druid and cleric, around levels 10-15, that I might try to get some levels with during the double exp. Could anyone give a brief rundown of what I could start with on my mage for Velious stuff?

I should just kill the blue con skeletons for a chance at those cracked staves though right? Anyone have a really low level character they might want to group with around qeynos around midnight pst tonight (after work for me, been working a lotta doubles)? I still have no idea where anything is around me but I can reliably find the underground place with shadowknight trainers and make it back out to north qeynos to more monsters now, just takes me a bit. Not sure if I'd be better off traveling somewhere else or just sticking around here, but the idea of leaving is kinda intimidating with out any sort of map.
