Dinged 19 on my rogue Gregarin last night, and managed to pick up 5/55 ring number 2! Feels pretty good! We were in MR in unrest and it was my first “real” grouping with the rogue with backstab and fully-leveled double hit/dual wield and a decent weapon and HOLY poo poo it was fun. Set my backstab record at a cool 98 damage

If rogues weren't so rear end at soloing I'd totally try one my enchanter's feeling kinda dull, but that's probably because I'm just 18 or so

Steelsilk is reasonably easy/cheap to make compared to the equivalent cultural plate stuff for High/Dark elf and Dwarf right? Granted you have to level tailoring which is a different kind of fresh hell compared to blacksmithing, but you can also farm a lot of the raw materials to do so yourself rather than having to buy thousands of platinum worth of ore for smelting.

Granted you have to level tailoring which is a different kind of fresh hell compared to blacksmithing, but you can also farm a lot of the raw materials to do so yourself rather than having to buy thousands of platinum worth of ore for smelting. Steelsilk requires a drop from a single rare spawn in SRO, as well as purified mana which costs four rubies and 1000 mana per vial. The imbued stuff is really nice though, but I'd recommend leveling smithing to trivial that first. Also, tailoring is much more time consuming and expensive than smithing because of the SOV tailoring gap. Only halflings and wood elves can sort of bypass that gap, but it's really annoying for everyone else. Mid-tier smithing you can farm up high quality ore in SolA, and high-end smithing only really requires leather padding which is abundant in EC.

For a cheap 1hs I'd grab a Green Jade Broadsword (can get for as low as 50pp) or Sword of Skyfire (~100pp) and use that until its starts its AoE proc. I should be on either Lidrath or Samuk when I am around.

I have about 10 Terrorantula silks on hand, and can supply 12 rubies this evening towards the cause. EvilGibson, Anarch, Tewdrig, Chairman Mauzer, FayGate - your prizes are in EC pending pick-up. Tonight ~10pm GMT-5 will be my only opportunity to log-in this week.

The fact at higher levels people do "/who cleric lfg all" before they can think of making a group... It's good Also halflings have bonus racial exp modifers so you outrace levelling .

IIRC High Elf Clerics have awesome inherent magic stats but it doesn't really matter all that much, pick what you're most into (with the exception of the evil races imo)

Ehud posted:Pick whichever you think looks coolest in plate armor IMO Which is to say Dark Elf (and we have someone in guild who can make that sexy cultural armor.) But seriously, Halflings get an exp bonus which is great. Druids also make great first characters as you'll retain the ability to heal in groups (albeit with less group desirability than clerics) but you also get way more flexibility and utility with a variety of buffs and the ability to solo very effectively. Once you can group port its a reasonable way to make money to gear up too. ChairmanMauzer fucked around with this message at 17:18 on Apr 9, 2018 |

sailormoon posted:After reading some guides, I’m thinking of running a Halfling Cleric for my first race / class. How bad of an idea is this? There really isn't a "bad" option for cleric race (except maybe human). If you play a cleric you will be able to group at all times pretty much no matter which race you choose. That being said: -Most cleric races come with a low level quest to get a initiate/disciple's necklace that has various clicky effects. -Cleric armor is heavy as gently caress, and you're not going to have a lot of strength thrown around in your gear until you get *really* twinked. HIE/DRK/ERU clerics especially will have problems with this. -Halflings come with innate sneak and hide which is really, really good considering that clerics have no way to do so innately. They also have a exp bonus and level faster than other races. I do not think they have a deity necklace quest though, so you have to do without. They also don't have cultural tradeskills that are really worth mentioning for clerics. -Dark Elves also come with innate hide, which is still useful even without paired sneak. They also have the best deity neck quest when all is said and done, because it's got the necromancer darkness spell (snare + Damage over Time) as an unlimited use 4 second cast click effect. -High Elves start in the Faydark and Crushbone is your bread and butter for low levels, you can blow through the first 15 levels relatively quickly without having to relocate away from your newbie quests. Their deity necklace eventually becomes a right click root effect which is really good, but maybe not as good as the Dark Elf effect. They have the lowest innate strength of all clerics and carrying capacity will be an issue. -Dwarves have all around the most well rounded starting stats for a cleric. You've got the highest strength/stamina of all the cleric races as well as pretty respectable wisdom, so you'll be the sturdiest of the clerics especially before you get yourself decked out. THey have a tactical rolling jump, and their deity necklace summons beer.

sailormoon posted:After reading some guides, I’m thinking of running a Halfling Cleric for my first race / class. How bad of an idea is this? If you've played EQ in the past and understand what it means to play a Cleric, then Halfling is a fine choice. If you've never really played before, then I'd tell you to go with a druid to start off. Druids heal all the time on P99 in groups, or if theres another healer they cast direct damage spells. They can solo efficiently with Charming animals, and that doesn't really require any special gear, my 39 druid is almost entirely still in newbie leathers. At 24 you can bind in South Karana and run the bread quest repeatedly to Feerrott. This means that you can group if you want to (and you should it's the best part of EQ in a lot of ways), but if there aren't any groups going, you can still make progress. This can actually get you all the way to 40, but at 38/39 it's 1% per turn in and you'll grow tired of it. Once you hit 34 you can make very nice money porting people around. Just join Dial A Port and in no time you'll gear out your guy with Wisdom stuff, or save up for a Goblin Ring to help with charming. Druid is so often a suggestion for new players because it let's you really see what P99 is all about from lots of different angles. If you get to 34, which is pretty easy, and decide that all you really want to do is sit in a group and heal, then roll up the Cleric and you still have the druid hop onto and make some money if need be. If you most enjoy the soloing, then maybe you keep the druid or roll a Necromancer. That sort of thing.
