Been looking at some guides and the incredibly detailed first post of this thread but I wonder if anyone knows a solid spot to farm plat off vendor trash for a level 70 necro? I'm currently killing crab people in Buried Sea, and I've been to Plane of Fire, but I wonder if there are any alternatives.

Too early to sell krono. Krono is selling for 900-1000 plat right now. I am waiting about a month so I can sell it for 4k-8k.




Anyone from the Mangler Goon Guild can give me an invite or another link to discord? The current discord link is not working and Adakos is not online. Thanks in advance.

I was looking to pay via PayPal, as was the other buyer I believe.

If anyone is still on the fence about starting back up, we're having fun on the Mangler TLP server. Still lots of low level groups for now. There were like 8 instances of Unrest last night.

open world Avatar of War and a handful of ssra bosses down so far on Selo. Raids are actually difficult when you are going up against them with 0 gear lol. It's actually a bit exciting with the challenge because every TLP before this you generally come into each expansion with near best in slot from the prior and just kinda stream roll content.

Everyone's blood was pumping on that AoW fight as another guild tried to come dps race us on it, but they didn't arrive until it was already at 70%. They zoned out most of their raid and tried training some stuff and dispelling charm pets and the like but we still pulled it through with just 2 tank instagib deaths.

You can speed it up a little more by timing it and letting the midnight (in-game time) PH despawn instead of killing it, and then a new one (PH or Raster) will spawn already at 7am game time. Scan through the comments of the Alla entry for details:

was there no cheating whatsoever concerning Emperor/VT keying or was Emperor killed using "improved tactics"

My understanding was that while Emp is leashed to his room now, his adds still aren't, so those were able to be pulled out and killed at least.

to be accurate, kited in the basement for an hour.

And Vex Thal is normal coth crazyness.

Edit: First Vex Thal attempt by Amtrak failed. We were unable to kill AHR by the time the instance reset (6 hours) we had her at 55% and our fight was super stable. BUT 27 essentially naked level 60s didn't have the DPS to push us under that 6 hour window. So the next day while waiting on replay timer to just go back in the instance (Where the other bosses would still be dead and only AHR still up) Amtrak killed open world AHR with something like 9 or 10 more people that finished their keys. Faceless went into their instance the same time we started Open world.

Faceless was also unable to beat the 6 hour timer for their instance, and from looking at them at the zone in.. a combination of keying ... (I counted 9, but someone said it was 11 clerics) and they had 1 of their DPS inside open world vex thal watching us.. and he even tried to train us while we were fighting AHR but he failed miserably. Also inspecting everyones gear we had no question that Faceless was not going to beat the 6 hour timer.

Those 9 (or 11) clerics Faceless keyed up are out of a total of 40 possible keys from each guild getting 1 emperor kill each. I want to say Amtrak went with 5 clerics the first instance and had 6 during open world, but I don't recall exactly.

On mangler/classic experience is slowing down around 30. Any suggestions for some good spots that are off the beaten path? I know all about LGUK and how I can do that after about 27 till I move to the hole at 47.

I used to love paw spires but it looks like gnolls don't spawn outside any more.

I also used to quad kite dwarves/dorfs at BB docks. But I heard they totally nerfedthis experience and loot.

Cyclops and giants are perma camped.

It’s mostly Guk, SolA, and Paw.

Not sure who's left on Phinigel, but the best expansion in the game opens tomorrow. I'd say it'd be interesting to see who manages to do what, but with the melee changes since Fippy was last here, I suspect its not going to be as hard as I remember. Then again, you can't lurch the Cliknar Hive Guardians so maybe it'll be worse!

Will be fun doing shawl 2.0 six times too!

Unlikely with all the new folks heading to Mangler or Selo, but EoE is looking for clerics, mages, shaman, and beastlords in particular, but pretty much warm bodies that aren't tanks otherwise. It's really easy to catch up with Mercs, Old Man Mckenzie, and the boosted XP rate right now, and I'm pretty sure that if loot council isn't your thing, any of the guilds on Phinigel will take people regardless of AA counts or gear (both are easily fixed).

It's still Guk but I've found live-side to be completely empty. Dead side is an overcrowded shithole. At one point we were camping crusader/noble/tactician/king/mino elder/evil eye all from the crusader castle.

I know I'm stoked to head into Underfoot, but man, the constant self-devouring of launching new TLPs kind of sucks sometimes, heh. Definitely noticed a drop off in attendance and especially on like the Bazaar when Selos launched. We actually had a notable uptick with the release of mercs, a good amount of old people came back, but that seems to have worn off now.

Head to House of Thule zones like Lower House or Grounds. You can probably stay there until 95-100 then move on to Rain of Fear or Call of the Forsaken stuff.

WHAT THAT SMELL LIKE?!


Let’s say I have limited EQ experience and would consider playing progression. I’d like to be able to play a class that is limited-time friendly and can afk or log off on short notice. I don’t think I’d ever be big into the raid scene, but would like to be welcome in groups at most levels.

This leads me to the following classes:

- Necro for soloing and FD, but not sure how useful they are in classes, plus hard to move around the world due to KoS.
- Druid for soloability and ease of travel, but apparently not a great main / not welcome in groups
- Shaman for how strong they are and welcome in groups, some soloability, but on the fence
- Monk for FD and being welcome in most groups

If you were somewhat inexperienced and wanted to have a good time more than caring about raiding and endgame, what would you recommend? Or, just as useful, what would you NOT recommend?

Yeah, for only playing an hour or so sometimes you basically want to be able to solo relatively well, and I'm not super familiar with monks and I know at least eventually everyone can solo "okay" (even before mercs), but I feel like a monk would kind of suck at soloing for quite a while until then.

No group is gonna is going to be ok with you AFKing often. If it’s a once in a blue moon thing, then it’s fine no matter the class.

If you’re willing to learn to play an Enchanter (it’s not really that difficult), you will have the best of both worlds. Excellent solo ability, and always wanted for every group ever.
