Gray Matter posted:My main on live that I play every year or two is a 75 SK that I've kept at that level for the last several years so I can still farm a bunch of AA's in my favorite old-world places (mainly Sebillis). He's pretty much permacamped at Trak ledge. Did the bard epic with him up to the point where you get the turn-in item to spawn Trakanon from undead bard (which the bard returns to you after turn-in), so I have pretty much gotten/sold/destroyed if LORE every piece of Trak loot multiple times. Harm Touch 1-shots him in the span of its DoT component, and harmshield immediately afterwards prevents him from banishing you. I didn't realize the spawned version of Trak dropped loot. For that matter, I didn't realize an SK could get that far in the Bard epic. My character is an SK too, but only lvl 66. What you're doing sounds fun, but I don't think I feel like grinding out the quest bits to get there. Meanwhile, what is the highest level I can bring my SK to and still get EXP in Velious and Kunark dungeons? I want to make a fun Old Content Killing Machine, I give only half a poo poo about Luclin and no shits about content after that. Velious and older is what I want to see.

All you need is a white dragon scale, a red dragon scale and some metal bits. Hand them to some gnome in one of the windmills in Steamfont and he'll hand you the lute body that you hand the undead bard to spawn Trak. Pretty simple these days.

If you want a classic killing machine, it's as simple as leveling to 80, get some cheap level 80 bazaar gear, then go berserk.

Pilsner posted:Any reason you still want to be able to get XP? You'll max out either level or AAs (instantly max AA if you subscribe due to auto-grant) pretty quick. I guess any reasonable XP in Velious would max out at 70, in zones like Western Wastes, Skyshrine and Kael, but it'll be stupidly slow and tough, since they are all raid zones, sort of. I guess Dragon Necropolis could provide XP up until around 65, but again, slow as balls. I had no idea subscribing dumped a bunch of AAs on my character. I'm happy to give EQ some bucks for this. How does it work? My character is lvl 66 right now. I assume he gets AA'd to something appropriate for a lvl 66 character. When he levels up, do AAs continue getting granted or is it a one-time thing (and thus I should maybe get to, say, lvl 70 first?).

With a subscription (or on Test), with Auto-Grant enabled, you gain every AA that is available for your level (with the exception of a couple 'General' AA) up until level cap of the second or third latest expansion (90 now? may be higher). Basically, you enable it and then camp out/log back in and gain a boatload of AA, and then every time you level you'll gain a couple hundred depending on your class.

Well geeze. And here I spent some time in The Hole this weekend getting AAs the manual way. The Hole is one of my favorite zones. No regrets.

Do you retain these autogranted AA's if you revert to a silver or free subscription after getting them? Might be worth a 1 month sub if so

I too would like to know this, I am pretty sure I know the answer but would be a nice surprise if you kept them  Just came back after not playing since OoW and i'm just starting to get my feet under me. I also can not get this equip a lvl 100 bow for the dmg at any level thing people talk about to work. It might of gotten fixed but I can equip it but cant actually fire it. I am years behind on everything and have no idea what i'm doing I just have been headshot farming aa's in bloodfields.

Aragosta posted:Yeah, you keep the AA's after your sub ends. What I did was grind my F2P boxes to level 100, then use a Krono on each of them, then first let auto-grant do its magic, then grind the poo poo out of AAs for that month. You can also do this at lower levels of course, you just might want to wrap up the AA grind with a final subscription at max level.

I bought a month for the auto grant. It certainly made the character a shitload more powerful. What should I take advantage of while the subscription is live? Does it entitle me to a more powerful merc or anything?

Chimp_On_Stilts posted:I bought a month for the auto grant. The perks of all access are:
In short, focus on levels (with auto-grant), and if you get past level 90, grind some AAs using those easy Dead Hills Heroic Adventure missions. Buy Doll of Character and fill up your account with alts you might feel like playing in the future (stuff like an Enchanter for enchant spells is always good to have), claim the 500 free Daybreak coin and claim your Legends of Norrath packs.

So I was planning on showing an old friend what EQ raids are like and letting him play on one of my accounts this weekend, does anyone want to join? Maybe do some old world sky or PoT or something on test? I would do it Cazic, but it would just be easier to do everything on test for $$ sake.

I realize things have changed so much since j last played that my 67 SK is badly out of date when it comes to spells and perhaps disciplines. Can I buy the missing spells in PoK? Is there an easy way to see what spells I am missing, or do I need to manually check his spellbook against a list?

You can buy most spells in PoK, some might be on the necro vendor though. I'm pretty sure the vendor for discs won't display ones you already have, I don't think that's true for spells unless you have the scroll in your inventory, but I could be wrong. You won't need really old spells in the future I don't think, unless you really need Locate Corpse and stuff. Later expansions come with upgrades of your old spells. You definitely want Harmshield Sort the vendor by price, the latest spells are more expensive (unless they are a necro line.) darkhand fucked around with this message at 22:27 on Apr 14, 2016 |

Turns out the spell vendors only show you spells you do not have in your book -- very handy. I killed Trakanon tonight. I've had the three Iksar medallions in the bank for a decade. I'll complete the quest tomorrow, what's one more day after all?

Chimp_On_Stilts posted:Turns out the spell vendors only show you spells you do not have in your book -- very handy. Regarding spells, did you notice how neatly you can right-click an empty spell gem and get a categorized menu of your spells? You virtually never use your spell book these days. Good job on the VP key, I completed it (again, 15 years on) for fun recently. There are a few nasty camps, but hey, that's EQ for you. The good thing about having a 4-box crew is that you can multi-camp across the world, and then just run your main/relevant char to the spot you need when you see the rare mob pop. In dungeons, the corpse rot timer is 30 minutes, so you have plenty of time to run on.

I am trying to think of fun old school quests to do on my 68 SK. I want quests that are iconic and take me through Classic stuff with minimal grind, maximum story exposure. 1) VP key - done 2) Sleeper's Key - not started 3) Coldain Rings - only ring 10 left to go 4) Epic - had it for a decade now What else should I do? Any neat quests involving VP, ToV, ST? Also, is the final Coldain ring war soloable? If I screw it up and get the dwarves all killed, can I try again?

Yes, the Coldain Ring quest is soloable (I think I did it in the mid-70's many years ago), and repeatable after a day or so. I commented on Alla on the quest with a few tips: http://everquest.allakhazam.com/db/quest.html?quest=1291#m1299016248250056647 Some other tips: - Coldain Shawl - The Lost Map (Eyepatch of Plunder) - Soulfire quest, now that should be a challenge for an SK? :P - All Plane of Sky quests for your class; I went up there every day for months to get the items. - Darkforge SK armor quests

Anyone had issues with getting a payment to daybreak to go through ? Trying to use the same card/address/isp I was using successfully last year and now daybreak say its being declined by the bank, but the bank says theres no issue from their end and theres been no attempt to take a payment. This seems to be a lot of effort to give them money.

As for a Krono source, it's just hearsay from my side, but people in this thread have said that playeractions is shady. People have recommended sellers on the redguides.com forum, with a good rating and a long history of positive comments.
