Is there a goon server chat channel for Blue? Started playing P99 a couple weeks ago with some friends who are also goons. Almost level 21 on my Bard.

If you have designs for raiding you can consider hopping into one of the casual raid guilds for starters. Or, let me preach the merits of Phinigel. I've been drat impressed with how good the instancing actually is when it comes to the game. There's still contesting of camps, but you'll never see that much more than 30 in a zone before another pick is available. The population is quite large as well.

I'm going through the install directions on the wiki. I can't find the files they're telling me to delete (Like arena.eqg or nektulos/lavastorm etc). Are they in a certain folder?

Has anyone checked out Runnyeye since the revamp? Got a 37 Ranger and 54 Wizard I'm playing casually. Look for Klaymen if any of you guys need a lift. Up for leveling an alt in the 20s or 30s if people are playing on Blue.

For some reason BDA is doing some big recruitment drive. Xiek came into Unrest and basically just invited everyone who's unguilded, including my cleric. I'm not complaining, I've always thought of them as a fun, good guild. And now I have some green chat again!

BDA moved to Phinny, and only a very very small few of the old guard stayed and kept the BDA tag (like 10 people or something). Most moved to Rustle. The few that stayed behind must be trying to build up ranks again.

I'm about to get back into the p99 action again, so what's the guild situation like now? Last I played it was Unknown Guild. I'll be mostly casual, not worried about raiding. Just looking for goons to chill and level with.

Is there a high enough (and low enough) population to group or solo as one's mood demands? I'm going to be laid up a month and I would love to have a chance to play a bard again.

I solo'd a Monk from 1-50 untwinked (quite a challenge), and had rather free access to decent XP grind camps. All in all, while it would be nice to do whatever camp you want, it's also nice that the game feels busy and a little crowded, part of the charm for sure.

Auto attack a blue/light blue mob, abuse combat bind wound, use intimidation/ID in areas with favorable pathing, bind wounds up after every fight and then mend or AFK until you have a comfortable hp cushion to kill another mob. It's honestly no different than soloing normally except you have to fight weaker/lower level stuff or stuff that can be ID'd easily. If you're going hardcore and not even buying stuff in EC with money you make on the character there are some choice pieces of gear to camp. Otherwise you just spend some time grinding low level plat spots to get the usual cheap weapons and hp/AC gear available in EC (note that this is actually easier than leveling solo pre-kunark given how much better/cheaper gear is in kunark/velious). You might end up needing to go do this anyway to keep yourself in bandages. You end up needing to be slightly overleveled on average for a given zone (compared to groups/twinks), and it obviously takes a lot longer due to slower kills and longer recovery. Monk is a relatively easy class for this due to solid cheap damage output with fists or inexpensive weapons, good defensive skills, decent max hp, mend, ID, bind wound, and FD for when the RNG makes you miss 20 times in a row while the mob lands max damage hits. I'm pretty sure moolchaba did this with a warrior and a rogue (both harder/more boring) on P99 because he hates himself and that's his idea of fun.

You might end up needing to go do this anyway to keep yourself in bandages. I will say though, it it wasn't for the in-combat bind wound "exploit", and the overpowered Intimidation (aka. Instill Doubt) on P99, it would be absolute hell. To be more specific, here is how I leveled: First, I rolled an Iksar Monk. The Iksar regen makes a major difference in this case, as their regen is double that of Humans (and even a little more above lvl 51). The rest of the Iksar racials are also pure bonus: Better sight, swimming, AC bonus and Forage. The major downside is of course faction, which plays a big role in the old world. As a Monk with FD, it's not that big of a deal, you can almost always evade being killed, but beware that you will have to endure some seriously serious faction grinds. I took on the task of killing around 2000 orcs in the Commonlands in order to get faction with NFP, so I could bank. Alternatively you can bank in Neriak with just a day of faction work (turn in Lightstones to the lady in South Ro), but it is a lot more nice to be able to bank in FP. Grind Mend and FD as soon as you can, along with your latest kick/special attack. It won't be until the 20's that you are fairly capable with your main skills (Mend and FD), then you are more safe in general. While leveling, beg or save up cash as best you can and aim for a cheap starter weapon such a Trance Stick, Adamantite Bo Stick, Fighting Baton, Bamboo Bo Stick or whatever is easy to obtain. Next start aiming for HP rings and other cheap HP gear. Leveling as Iksar is easy, start in FoB then move on to Kurn's in the teens. I stayed there until level 20, to train FD and skill it up a little before I risked the big journey to Antonica. After that, you don't really need to see a trainer until level 30 for FK, and finally 35 for Riposte, and you can find neutral trainers in Antonica. After bumming a port from Overthere to EC, I started grinding Great Lightstones in EC/WC. I saved them up, got an SoW from the EC tunnel, then ran to SRo to the dark elf gypsy lady and turned them in for a little XP and Dark Elf guard faction. I think at level 21/22 I had enough faction to be able to move (almost) safely through Neriak, so I could bank - just beware of the wandering Wizard outside the door to the bank. After that I did the Red Wine quest for further faction with the merchants of Neriak. I like grinding, and EC/WC is a comfortable safe place buzzing with life, plus it gives you a lot of time to skill up FD, Mend and Intimidation. After this my leveling path was (copy paste from another post of mine): 21-23: Gnolls (live and undead) in the southwest corner of EK; aviak guards in Lake Rathe; gargs in OOT 23-30: Random mobs in South Karana - great place for ID kiting (got 3 peggy cloaks that way) 30-35: sisters in OOT (decent xp, and mainly the best cash camp until the 40's, which was important for me as my first char) 35-40: more South Karana random mobs 40-45: Sol A gnomes; there are lots of them, just beware of damage shields; you'll need a 2-hander and good timing. 45-50: Oggok guards (inside), intimidation kiting, bind wound abuse, and very good cash from all the Fine Steel. A monk can vendor and bank; in theory a rogue could do the same, but it would be insanely risky to go to the bank, since they have no FD. A big thing about Monks is the weight limit, which is 14 and slowly increasing to 20 at lvl 59, then 24 (https://www.project1999.com/forums/showthread.php?t=230843). If you're brand new starting with 0 plat, I would advise you to screw the weight limit and keep harvesting coin until you're encumbered before banking. EQ and particularly a solo Monk is super gear dependant, so you need that plat. Even at level 5 I would harvest silver and walk to exchange it, just because I'm such a Scrooge in a game like P1999. You will lose AC due to the overweight, but you can still kill and fight well enough, which is all you need to level. Investing in WR bags is great, I would start by getting the two solb/guk bags (Bag of Sewn Evil-Eye and Light Burlap Sack), and getting the Forager Bag from a reasonably doable quest. With the two big bags, you can save Fine Steel weapons and vendor them. A few more tips about being a miserly Monk: * You can exchange all your loose gold, silver and copper by selling an item you're going to sell anyway (for example a gem) to a vendor, then buying it back. The act of buying from a vendor will use all your small coins before digging into the platinum. Repeat multiple times to exchange more. Only use items that are coded to have a 10% (the minimum) difference between buy and sell value from vendors. This way you can run around almost solely with plat. * At higher levels, if you're fighting near vendors (in a city or nearby), where you get so much plat that it starts weighing you down, you can buy relatively gems from a vendor with your plat, then re-sell them when you return to your friendly bank some day. Gems only weigh 0.1 for a whole stack. The holy grail is of course the Tink Bag, which you might be able to purchase in your 40's after enough grinding. It's well worth it. Also invest in a JBoots MQ ASAP, it is gold.

I never used the bind wound during combat trick with my warrior. He had the evasive discipline that recycled pretty fast and a huge hp pool, it wasn't really needed (but I did have to run from mobs at times, bind wound after getting enough distance, and then re-engage). I did use the bind wound during combat trick with my rogue from my mid 20s until I hit 30s. I decided that it was a bit too easy and stopped using it; I couldn't be certain if it was classic or not. When I was soloing seafuries (starting at 54), I had to run about 40% of the time and bind wound, but it got easier once he had the money saved up to buy the fungi. There was a thread about soloing a rogue to 60 and pretty much everyone said "can't be done." Hahahahahahaahahahahahaha. I'm retarded enough to prove them wrong. Also, there is a way to strafe and get off backstabs on mobs that I solo. I finally got it to work last night after someone got on my stream and told me about it. I have no plans to rely on it, but it's fun to do once in a while. It's taking advantage of how this server works, a slight delay when a mob hits you that prevents them from instantly facing you if you strafe quickly.

All this solo "go get 'em tiger" chatter (cool posts Pilsner and mool  ) has me considering coming back to Blue on my iksar necro. Thing is, I got him to 54 and just kinda... lost my way? I don't know high end EQ and did not have any interest in raiding. I'm totally into the idea of playing twinked alts, which is partially why I rolled necro. A great, versatile class that can easily solo farm a bunch of fun twink gear for my future empire of alts.He's got the tools he needs from when I spent a few weeks going hardcore on EC Tunnel item flipping for cash: Jboots, CoS, and lots of INT and AC gear. I guess I'm just wondering, what should I go do with this guy at 54? Are there spells I get between 54-60 that utterly change the game for necro that I should push for higher levels? What are some fun item farms that a necro could solo at that level? Looking for ideas.
