Oh you betcha, I'm gonna try to grab a few levels for my druid and SK both on Friday. (poo poo, why isn't it Saturday?)


Yeah pets definitely take away some of your XP, although AFAIK as long as they're alive you get the penalty. The only way I knew to avoid it was to kill your pet or drop charm before the thing dies, I don't know anything about pulling back at 25%. You'd probably have to dismiss and resummon? Might not be worth it.

If you group, the pet takes no xp.

Shameless plug: <TMO> is looking for 50+ members on the red server who are interested in raiding. We've been silently doing our thing behind the shadows letting the server think we're dead, but we've repaired our relationship with empire and are fielding solid numbers and beginning to work on new content. We could really use a goddamn shaman (I don't think we have a single shaman that isn't an alt) we're low on wizards, and more clerics/rogues are always top priority, but every class is welcome. !!we are no longer only running raids that gently caress over tunare faction classes!!

On another note, if there's any goons who play on Red who I don't already know about, you should come out of the woodwork and send me a tell on Anime. Especially if you were in <SLAMDUNKATRON> (I'm Hardon Collider)

If you need help raising levels so you can qualify to join TMO/Empire so you can shamelessly PK Thunderdome via spying on their guildchat, Thunderdome WANTS YOU!

I've been crazy busy at work and unable to do my normal grouping on red. Is CC an OK place to solo as a 30 ench for short periods of time (like the 30m or so I have after I get home after double shifts and totally crash.)

Almost 12 on my necro , thanks to amazing luck getting constantly grouped with at least one person that could con my pet for amazing pet tanking action and a surplus of shields to give them all bash. But I read something on Project1999 forum that saying something about pulling back the pet at 25% mob hp or you take an big hit to xp. Did I just have the easiest leveling experience in a long time despite nerfing my xp? Always thought of pets as an extra spell or attack not another player in the group. The best xp rate I had though was group of 4, 2 SK and 2 necro and all our pets were out and partying. Does the pet only count as person for xp while not in the group or something?

Pets only take exp if they do 50%+ of the damage on a mob while you are soloing. They take no exp when in a group.

I'd love to - Chest is always telling me about the huge amounts of mob they're killing, especially on weekends. We're currently going through a really rough time in my family, and I get maybe an hour or two a night sometimes to play a game, and EQ just isn't conducive to being able to get poo poo done in that small of window. Takes half of that just to get your destination, then to get setup in camp, then I'd have to leave after the first pull. Toss in a corpse run and I'm screwed.

Woo drama! https://www.reddit.com/r/project1999/comments/3n3p11/censorship/

quote:

Hello.

Greengrocer/Guide Moregan here with a Thursday morning/afternoon TLDR for yall!

Well, in the past day, I've had three p99 forum accounts banned, as well as dozens of posts and threads deleted from the p99 forums all because Rogean's jimmies got rustled... because he can't take the heat. Sorry, Rogean... I thought you were a pro internet troll who was able to take it as well as dish it out. Guess not!?

It's not even like I am revealing server secrets. I'm just telling it like it is. You're apparently not allowed to speak your mind while volunteering in Rogean's dictatorship.

From a CSR perspective, Rogean is THE problem with p99, specifically the inability to retain good volunteers. From his complete and total vacancy for the entire first 6 months of my time on staff, to his repeated ignorance of staff requests, to his specific exclusion of certain people from discussions about bringing on new staff members, he just very clearly has no desire to show respect toward his guides, and has no interest in keeping them onboard.

In every essence of the word, Rogean is a manchild who lords over his e-playground with an iron e-fist. Players and volunteers alike.. if you don't like it, he is always more than happy to show you to the door.

I cannot even count the number of times I have had good questions, suggestions, and the strong desire to assist with anything and everything, only to have Rogean respond about his CS GO adventures, talking about his new house, his new car, the new casino that opened up down the road. After a while, it becomes apparent that one of Rogean's and Sirken's chief strategies when dealing with internal questions is to purposefully ignore them and change the subject to something completely unrelated. And here I was thinking that the "CSR Chat" room on skype was supposed to be used to, you know, chat about CSR! Silly me...

After a certain point, you start to just wonder why you even care and why you are trying to improve the environment when the people at the top don't seem to give a gently caress at all.

The only way to fix the situation is for Rogean to remove himself from all CSR based decisions and activities. At this point, he really needs to be physically stuck in the server closet with some snacks and sodas and told to just make sure all the lights stay green.

Sirken is not free of blame for the current state of affairs either. His problem is he has just given up entirely trying to get Rogean to change for the better. I guess after several years of having to work directly underneath big Rog, I'm not very surprised, but he still has a responsibility to his guides who choose to volunteer their time to keep Rog's e-playground spic'n'span.

In effect, Sirken has become a castrated yes-man for Rogean, and has basically stopped pushing for any kind of positive internal change to improve the environment for the server's volunteers.

TLDR: Rogean is good at keeping server hardware plugged in, but that's it. He is one of the worst people on the planet to make CSR decisions. Sirken is an ineffective yes man.

edit: also for the dude looking for a shovel: Go to CT and kill the gators. You can use any of the 4 items(broom, shovel, torch, stein) just slightly different turn in materials for the quest. They drop rate is waaaay better in CT. Or just buy one in EC for like 100pp

Ashenden posted:

Any people on Blue able to help me (That's a lie, I'm level 34, I can't help at all) kill Black Dire at some point? At that point on my quest, running to turn in the Rathe Mountain stuff then I'll probably be leveling in MM all day anyways so I'd like to do it if possible.

I'm in the same boat with the Black Dire. I really want the Black Fur Boots, but I don't see any realistic way of getting a high level group to Mistmoore to get it done. So instead I went and repeated the Test of Wisdom a bunch while leveling on aviak avocets in between Tabien/Glaron spawns. This got my Truspirit faction up to warmly, so now I can just go grind pages in City of Mist until my faction is high enough to complete the quest. Not that I'll be able to actually do the final fight without a guild, of course...

If you're not aware, the Shaman epic quest is based entirely on boosting faction with Truespirit. Basically, every part is designed to get your faction just high enough to do the next part. Ultimately you end with max faction, which allows you to get the epic weapon when you turn in the final piece. The thing is, all the parts of the quest are repeatable - I assume that Everquest has no way of tracking if you've done a quest or not. Some people even enlist the help of a porter to repeat the very first gem turn in like 70 times. So all you actually have to do to get the epic is max your faction, turn in the child's tear to trigger the final boss, and then turn in the final piece that you loot off the boss.

The problem with this is I've read that completing the epic bottoms out your faction leaving you with a bunch of work before you can get the boots later on if you skip them. I've done everything up to that step, turned in the first gem a couple of times grabbing it whenever I'm in Rathe then turning it in whenever I'm in Freeport area. Also holding Woe and Envy for a second turnin, but I had to gate on the paladin and someone else killed him before I got back unfortunately.

I saw a level 60 Bard basically solo Black Dire by kiting him around the pond area so at least it doesn't seem like you need too many people to help.

I can solo black dire on my monk, it's not like you need a full group of 60s for it or something. And I'd love to help both of you but I don't get a lot of time to log in right now - usually I just try and pass out UG officer tags. Next time I see one of you online we can at least check to see if it or advisor is up, that's all I can promise.

And Pyro, you crazy (but I'm kinda jelly). Velious raids are my favorite but there's no way I can swing that schedule anymore.

KC is some of the slowest exp in the game unless you're charm killing in the basement.

Howling Stones. Velks is worth a shot too. If giant fort in BW is uncamped that could be a good small group spot. Skyfire works decently well with a rogue/necro duo. There are probably some good groups in Kael at your level too.
