If you are an :Enchanter, Bard or Necro you're in luck. The quest only requires a Jade which can be vendor bought cheaply. Simply charm the quest giver and hand it in to him (charm raises faction to the appropriate level)

If you are anything else: Find someone selling 'charges' of Cazic Thule puppet strings. This item has a right-click charm effect for all classes to use. I think the average cost for a charge is like 2k or so.


Should be 50+ for all charm techniques

Otherwise you can always faction grind (its terrible)

Puppet strings have been dropping as 1 charge since the zone revamp. Dunno if there's stockpiles on blue, but good luck finding a puppet stings at any price on red. Got mines but I have a few friends that have been offering 20k for a charge for half a year and haven't gotten any bites.

Blue is pretty stocked. I didnt know about the nerf though, that hurts. If you play blue probably best to get this done before people stop playing and puppet strings are lost through attrition of players.

currently 1 charge dropping string owners can petition to get 10 charges, but nobody bothers and it takes forever. it took gongshow weeks to get his strings fixed and he's rl friends with sirken.

I have a sad brain so I made a semi-automated script to run zone textures through one of the newer up-scaling algos twice (waifu2x). It actually looks pretty good, although I picked two of the shittiest zones (mistmoore and uguk) to try it on first.

Gonna try and get a couple more of the most popular zones and then I'll have to find a place to host them. I'd like to work a cartoony filter in there also to go with the vectorized player model textures.

Texture upscaling can look really awful depending upon the game resolution and the texture resolution and stuff, but that looks pretty good actually, keep it up.

I wouldn't mind trying those out at all.

Troll posted:

Confirmed, looks like at least old texture animations are created simply by applying a series of textures in order, so they get up-scaled with the rest.

Above link is for guktop if you'd like to try it. I'd probably have to use torrent or something to share a large number of zones, they hit 50-100mb each once you scale them

If you need a place to host it, dropbox gives you 4GB by default and you can 'earn' several more GB pretty easy.

Advanced lighting doesn't play well with character models either in my experience, they're too low poly. The flat lit classic everquest is how it was meant to be!

I could be wrong, but I think current rules are a straight up foot race (from ZL I'd guess). Whoever gets FTE scores an hour of uninterrupted time for their guild or whatever. After that hour, I think it's FFA.

Again, I may be understanding wrong. I haven't played in years, just still keep up with some drama.

so guy had bind sight on something near statue spawnpoint obviously. note slot 3, the ensnaring roots spider web clicky. he got statue on target before he started running, and kept target, thus FTE despite not actually hitting the statue with his weapon. midnight mallet would've been just as good, and i think the same range.

the FTE rules just changed in Kael, forcing everyone to foot race from near the zone line for either Tormax or Statue whenever they pop. same thing happened for north temple of veeshan (that's a lot more chaos than this might have seemed).

there's a massive amount of lawyerquest behind this, and GMs have tried to evolve the rules to make things a little more fair for the little guys, or up and coming guilds like Anon. or at least give us a chance. before this Aftermath had people camped at the spawnpoints for both tormax and statue, guaranteeing them FTE if they just had someone looking.

edit: and yeah the current rules say after FTE (if you get it) you have an hour of uninterrupted chance to that target.

of course, even this has been abused, and aftermath has already secured FTE on - i believe - tormax? and then went on to do another target elsewhere before returning and casually killing their secured target.

it's more nerdiness than you probably imagine.

Nah, FTE messages are on aggro, they wouldn't be worth much for resolving who pulled first vs. who pulled with higher aggro otherwise.

I haven't played in the last few months, but maybe we can duo or something if we have characters in the same ranges and similar availability. I have a 41 rogue and shaman, a 14 druid, and a naked 34 cleric and 19 enchanter (I don't like the enchanter). I'm available after 12am PST, usually, but some days I'm totally available. I'd be playing, but I really dislike soloing and finding groups can be a drag, so the most I do is check this thread and read the p99 forums. EQ is a lot of effort.

I got my 43.8 shaman doing specters in Feerrott; I'll keep camping these to 46 at least, maybe more if the xp is still good after that. I really want to try to tag along a PoF raid to get my child's tear.

My 27 SHD is currently camped with full SHM buffs at the sister's island in OOT, I want to see if it's possible for a melee class to take the sisters hut for cash/xp at that level. Might end up going to the gargoyle island if that doesn't work out.

Spectres should be good until 47 or 48, I think that's when I usually quit killing them.

Unfortunately this doesn't really work anymore. Fear was revamped back in October of November, and now the golems are proper raid mobs with three day respawn timers (used to be eight hours). The golems now drop other desirable loot too, so they've usually contested and killed asap. Child's Tears are a lot more rare now, and no one picks them up for free by tagging along on a raid anymore.

Your best bet for picking up a shaman epic at this point is to join a guild that actively raids the golems. I think that's currently Divinty and Anonymous, mostly. Your other option is to save up ~65k plat to buy a tear from one of these guilds (don't do this, that's money better spent on a fungi and/or torpor).

I suggest just joining a guild. High level shamans need a lot of resources in order to be effective, and doing this on your own without the support of a guild would be extremely difficult. Shaman soloing after level 50 is pretty lovely without an epic, and nearly impossible after level 55. A level 60 shaman without torpor may as well not be a shaman at all. Whatever you decide to do. good luck.

Wish I had the time these days to join you guys. Dicking around with friends in places like guk would be the most "classic" experience I could possibly have, truth be told. I never actually raided back in the day, haha.
