Thanks for the help. Realizing now I misread map. It says necro "equipment" is found in the guild. That mis-read, combined with an assumption that it makes sense for spells to be in the guild threw me off.

INSTEAD I AM GOING TO WHINE ABOUT IT IN OTHER THREADS SO MY OPINION CAN FEEL VALIDATED IN AN ECHO CHAMBER I LIKE

Logged in for the first time since before Velious release, 60 enchanter with 200+ INT/CHA buffed.

Not really sure what to do, I know I wanna see PoM. Also <Unknown Guild> is pretty dead, eh?

Do I need to grind CoV faction to safely get inside NToV? I know I can buy a CotH to entrance but not sure if I need to do faction work first.

Also... what else is there to do? I've never seen Velks.


I can't believe they disabled spell loadouts... they were allowed last time I played :(

I have a bunch of Kunark spells and a Donal's Helm in bank if anyone needs/wants stuff.

Yeah you can bounce all over POM, SG, Velks, WL, SS, Kael.. there are tons of options for enchanters in SOV.

Zoning into TOV doesn't require dragon faction but makes it easier. You'll still need a COTH to POM once you're inside.

<UG> is largely dead with the occasional person, but goons are otherwise all over. You'll find them everywhere from Kittens to Awakened.

Dawn Believers has some good people in it and would be another leveling guild suggestion.

Unknown Guild has a handful of players, most of which can get starting players set up with spells or gear. Where the newbies go after that, nobody knows.

I joined <Sanctuary>, a lowbie leveling guild. Really haven't done much, but usually there are 10+ online. Kinda nice in the areas I'm leveling to see the tag a lot on others in the zone. Almost 20 now and have yet to be attacked. The server /OOC can be amusing when there is PVP action happening.

I hadn't seen any <Unnamed Guild> or would've done that.

I ended up leaving UG because I was the only one online 95% of the time, unfortunately. If anyone around the 40s range ever wants to group or whatever, hit me up on my enchanter, Awbz. I'm usually playing with a pretty regular group that does a lot of the less popular, out-of-the-way dungeons.

Treadmill? What's that? Is that some kind of cake?


Anyone want some stuff on red in exchange for stuff on blue. I have a pair of plat fire wedding rings and low level wiz stuff like a sacrifical dagger and advisor robe on red. Also on my SK I have a mithril two handed sword and maybe some other junk like banded armor and str rings.

So a lot has happened in the last two weeks. With the help of Skullmonkey and Caiu i got my monk epic last weekend. Caiu took myself and a few Dawn Believer guildies into the hole on the xp weekend, and died like 20 times. Had a blast. He made 1% xp on a +xp weekend, what a guy. Big thanks to you guys! I hit 51 a night or two ago. Today i won a roll on some 8k sham spear (wts rune etched icewurm fang) while hangin with Gatmanno in kael. This has been the most fun i'v had playing EQ in decades. You guys are the best <3 I'll be on izrd a lot more than daaz now, so..add me if you havn't already!

There's also a really handy tool that Pilsner/Zliz wrote that is 100% confirmed OK to use on P99 and parses location data from your log file to update your position on an EQAtlas-style map in another window. It's available here: http://www.zlizeq.com/ZlizEQ_Projects-ZlizEQMap

Tried to share this with my guild on Red99 and they think it's bannable. Any idea where the confirmation exists that it is not?

Thanks. The specific names are what was needed. It seemed like an impossible thing to object to. And the game is so much better with it.

Considering maps used to be in-game and were disabled after what? 2 years? The devs have sent mixed signals in the past.

Let's all just calm down and put on our thinking caps.
Can someone explain a DOT mechanic to me (tried looking on the wiki).

Basically I'm a bard and when I use my single target DOT songs they seem to do twice as much damage when I'm standing still (or is it being in melee range?).

I'm assuming this is intentional to keep back single target kiting - but I couldn't find anything documenting it.

I'm Jepok in game by the way - 42 Bard.

Dots are only fully effective when a mob is either standing still (including root) or feared (including death walk).

It really doesn't stop bard kiting since bard kiting isn't limited by mana constraints, it just takes them longer to do what they were already doing and it's not like Bard DoTs do a whole lot of damage to begin with. I think it was primarily to curtail Druids and Necros and force them to use more mana because snaring and just outrunning the mob while dot's tick is by far the most mana efficient way to solo. DoTs clipping damage if the enemy moves forces them to cast other spells and generally burn more mana, either root for druids or fear for necros.

Thanks for clarifying, looks like my theory was pretty close.

Another one: The bard mana regen songs, do these not increase a bards mana regen? I seem to only be getting 2 mana per tick while sitting with my mana song playing (been doing a lot of charm kiting).
