Devor posted:The earliest comments on that item on Allakhazam are from July 2002, which is 6 months after Luclin released, and 2 months before PoP. Did items typically get parsed from beta databases? Or was it a tradeskill recipe that got added in after Luclin had been out a while? Allakhazam had a database issue and lost everything prior to 2002. Even on clearly classic items, you won't see comments or information on them prior to that. They also don't gather data from beta and then transfer it to live, they wait for the item collector being run on live to gather things.

Stuff does iirc but it's only to prevent it from popping in picks and doesn't do any additional damage reduction etc.... I think? Maybe i'm making it up.

Bonnono posted:Does Mitigation of the Mighty ever get removed during a later expansion on the TLP’s? Yes, it gets removed from older content when that content becomes "fabled" during anniversary. Classic MOTM is removed in Gates of Discord Kunark MOTM is removed in Dragons of Norrath Velious MOTM is removed in Prophecy of Ro Luclin MOTM is removed in The Buried Sea PoP MOTM is removed in Secrets of Faydwer LDoN and on, nothing has MOTM.

Republicans posted:I never did any LDoN stuff on Agnarr, is it just a joke compared to PoP content if there's no MOTM? Pretty much. You can low number it pretty easily, but the loot out of it is really of variable quality. You'll have some augments which are not replaceable for many expansions, but mostly the gear is pretty crappy.

Started on Mangler last night on a whim, as I enjoyed my P99 time but that place is toxic af. A few questions if anyone can help me out: - Is boxing really required? I'm not opposed to it, but usually when I dual-box, I play much more solo and end up getting bored and burning out. - I usually play shaman, as I played a shaman live from 99-04, on SoD and on P99; if I'm playing solo, is there a better / cooler choice instead of being boring, given that I'll only have some knowledge of how to play the class. - Innothule was pretty dead, is there some newbie / beginner guild to join? I'm in the newbie players channel but it's not exactly bumping. - Are there any in-game chat channels worth joining?

If you're playing solo there are better choices than Shaman, but your previous question seemed to indicate you get burnt out playing solo...? - There was a goon guild but it's basically dead because people joined raiding guilds. There are plenty of other guilds on the server though. Check the EQ guild recruitment forum to find a guild that interests you: https://forums.daybreakgames.com/eq/index.php?forums/guild-recruitment.25/ - I stay in the continent chat, general chat and class chat. You'll be placed in "new players" when you first log in and that usually has people who can answer basic questions you might have. "taxi" is useful when you need a port.

The second point was the I usually get bored when I dual box, but if #trueboxing is fine, then I'll roll with that. I was thinking about necromancer, but that's a lonely life. Maybe enchanter, but I think people will yell at me when I can't keep five mobs mezzed and a pet charmed and enchanter raiding sucks. Any other suggestions on cool single boxes that can solo?

That's always been my favorite solo class. Mages can solo well. Druids also have various solo options. Back in the day I used to play a Shadowknight and I did a lot of soloing. I actually had a lot of fun finding spots to fear kite. Throw a darkness spell to snare em, fear or spook the dead and then walk behind them smacking them with your sword.

Monk fear (intimidate) kiting with a Shaman (innoruuk neck) box was some of my favorite soloing before rolling a Necro. If you find an area that meshes well for it that is. Pretty drat effective when your shaman blows up everything with poison dots and doesn't need to heal the monk. Does take some time for intimidate to stop failing, but it gets pretty reliable at a certain point.

Amtrak pulled some crazy rear end hours and got it done. But there was also 8 picks of storms up all through the night. Pick threshold is 40. which means you need like 400 bodies in storms, spread around to not have them close. Again, they put in a ton of work, but there is definitely something sketch going on with their picks. Idk whether its clever-use-of-game-mechanics or script injection, but I suspect the latter.

I saw a screen shot with 10 picks open, 9 of them showing exactly 40 players. The guy who took the screenshot was in a pick that showed 51 on the menu and had 11 in a /who. If I had to guess there's a bug that lets you leave a pick without the server ever being notified, then you can go to the next pick and repeat. Pretty sweet exploit imo, wish I had figured it out.

I can’t say how intentional it was, but other guilds definitely benefited from it. We showed up with AM the very next day and caught the waves of respawns. We made it to ele planes (cept for fire) by Sunday evening, making us the third guild to do so. But yeah they could trivially solve the pos clusterfuck by letting minis spawn in expeditions, but it wouldn’t be everquest without unnecessary tedious bullshit.

Melum posted:But yeah they could trivially solve the pos clusterfuck by letting minis spawn in expeditions, but it wouldn’t be everquest without unnecessary tedious bullshit. Just change the BoT key to require killing the three lords. Now you have a reason to do the instance, it would flag everyone involved, and since picks are devastating to the infrastructure of a server, now you won't have a million of them opening and closing. They badly need to take a month or two of someone's time and go back and fix all the keying and all of the epic quest stuff so none of it is contestable and it all makes more sense. Change everything to the Rain of Fear model of flagging (beat all the events in one tier, you can immediately request and participate in the next tier).

Kunark unlocks in about a month and the cap goes up to 60. I'd probably just keep leveling and buy reasonable gear as you have the $$$. Regarding Totemic, the helm is good and the rest isn't that great. If you need help with what to buy/camp/quest for go here: http://eqitems.com Choose your race, class and set it to Classic EQ and search "best in slot" It'll give you like 5+ items to look for in each gear slot. You can then go to http://tlpauctions.com/ to check how much a particular item is going for on the server.

Melum posted:I’m curious how the other expansions go, someone told me once pos is over the clusterfucks stop until roughly dodh LDoN: No requirements, just show up and raid GoD: Everyone needs to do the Tipt instance to zone in to Kod'taz. One person needs to do the Kod'taz progression to unlock the raids. Everyone needs an item from the end of Ikkinz 4 and Uqua to zone into Qvic (54 items drop per run). Everyone needs those two items + one from Inktu'ta to zone in to Txevu (54 items drop per run). One person needs to loot an item from the boss of Txevu to request Tacv (one item drops per run, but you only ever need one per guild). OoW: Everyone needs to farm 7 signets that drop from specific named, each named has 3 spawn points in a zone or is a guaranteed spawn in three instances. Everyone needs to either have participated in the 6 Proving Grounds trials OR looted a seal of mastery from Anguish. Both of those = Anguish flag. Everyone needs a mask from anguish trash, or you run the risk of someone getting targetted by OMM and giving him a massive buff. DoN: One person needs to complete the progression chain from one of two factions. This is 90% faction, 10% grindy tasks. DoDH: Everyone needs to complete 4 group tasks to get 4 items, turn them in to a robot to get a key to Dreadspire. Everyone needs to be part of a group to get a Lens of Eye-Glass, which requires killing Master Vule in Dreadspire (he drops 2, meaning optimally you can key 12 per Vule kill). Turn in key to dreadspire item + lens to same robot, get key to Demiplane. Everyone needs to participate in 5 lower tier raid events to get the flag to zone in to Demiplane. Depending on guild, you'll need between 1 to 3 clears of Demiplane to get the bane items needed to be able to kill Mayong. PoR: Everyone needs to do the Twisted Harmonic Chime quest line, which requires one person being able to request Samples of Corruption, which requires completing the Saga Skins task line which is atrocious. Everyone needs Daosheen, Sullon Zek, and Suchun kills to get the Divine Fetters of Ro. Everyone needs an inspiration from the six bosses in Theater of Blood (each drop 3, 18 per clear) to complete the Deathknell flag. You only need one person with fetters, but you'll want to kill yourself trying to finish Ayonae Ro without a bunch of them. TSS: Everyone needs ally faction with three factions, everyone needs three group tasks complete from Fergarin, one person (doesn't have to be the same) needs to complete the task lines to request Kellak, Vergalid, Ashengate West, Ashengate East, and Ashengate North. Everyone needs a King Odeen kill. Everyone needs to finish Frostcrypt 1 to get to Frostcrypt 2. Ashengate East/West have backflags for Vergalid, Frostcrypt 1 has backflags for King Odeen, Frostcrypt 2 has backflags for Frostcrypt 1. TBS: Everyone needs to finish the City in Peril task line and fully power up their combine signet ring SoF: Everyone needs to finish both the group and raid parts of The Search For The Ultimate Story. Everyone needs to finish both the group and raid parts of Beyond the Barrier. One person needs to finish the flagging line and the two Tier 1 raids for Bloodmoon Keep. One person needs to finish "One of Our Own" in Hills of Shade. Optionally, one person needs to finish both the elves and the humans task chains in Hills of Shade. SoD: Everyone needs to get Hitchhiker's Guide to the Past achievement, either by doing the group tasks and missions or by participating in all of the lower tier raids. Everyone needs a Tower Key (6 drop per run) from Korafax to raid Citadel. UF: Everyone needs to get both Appease the Gatekeeper and Unlock the Mystery achievements, either by doing the group tasks or participating in all of the lower tier raids. To participate in Tier 6.5 raids, you need to loot and use a coin of brell (9 drop per tier 6 event). To participate in Tier 7 raids, you need to loot and use an emblem of brell (6 drop per Tier 6.5 raid). To participate in the Audience raid, you need to loot and use an amulet of brell (6 drop in Fungal/Lichen, 9 drop each from Trials of Creation and Deconstruction). To participate in the Convorteum raid, you must be in the DZ for a successful Audience with Brell Serilis raid. Requesting these raids requires doing the progression mission for each individual zone, and completing all of the previous tier's raids (Tier 6 you can just roll right into). HoT: Everyone needs "It's Dangerous to Go Alone" and "Have Fun Storming the Castle" from either group or raid progression. To participate in Tier 2 raids, you must be in the DZ for both a successful Tick Tock raid and Ritual of Terror raid. To participate in Tier 3 raids, you must loot and use a Rusty Gate Key (2 drop per event, but this is apparently about to change, total of 8 per cycle). To participate in Cazic's Final Stand raid, you must loot and use a Tremulous Key (9 per cycle). To participate in Sanctom Somnium raids, you must loot and use a Sanctum Key (9 per cycle). To request, same as UF (do missions and all previous tier). The Awakening is the only exception, you must have all of Tier 3 AND Cazic's Final Stand. VoA: Everyone gets a book of records when you defeat your first VoA event. You have to click your book whenever you beat an event to get credit. You need 3 tier 1 completions (only one raid, so 3 cycles) to participate in Tier 2. You need 9 tier 2 completions (2 raids, 5 cycles) to participate in Tier 3. You need 13 tier 3 completions (three raids, 5 cycles) to participate in tier 4. You need 3 completions of Tier 4 (3 raids, 1 cycle) to participate in Sephulcher. Requesting once again requires partisan tasks, mission completion, and all previous tier raids completed, and now has the added fun of alaran language requirements! RoF: Everyone needs to participate in completing all events in one tier to participate in the next. Request requires partisan and mission completion. CotF: Everyone needs to participate in completing all events in one tier to participate in the next, but there's tier phases instead (same loot, but different steps). Request requires partisan and mission completion. TDS: Everyone needs credit from 4 completions of the Tier 1 raid to participate in Tier 2. Everyone needs 12 completions (3 raids, 4 cycles) to participate in the final raid. Request here is slightly different, you have to complete the story chain of TDS to request the first raid, but it appears after that you don't need anything else). TBM and onward contain the "defeat a tier X times to progress" but my 2 second information lookup couldn't find this. -- All in all, its a lot of unnecessary stuff for a progression server by the devs to stretch content. All of this should be replaced with the Rain of Fear style: Defeat everything in a tier to progress to the next.

They made it instanced for Phinny, so it's no longer a cluster gently caress. The skins saga is really the only lasting poo poo show I remember post-PoP. And once we figured out you really only need 1 person to get the tough ones open world, then have that person request one of the instanced missions where the skins also drop, it became a lot less of a headache. Along the way you'll still have plenty of times where you'll be clashing with people to various degrees - like SoF bloody kith progression where everyone's piled up waiting on a named to respawn, or camping ground spawns, etc, but most of that poo poo dies down in just a day or two.

After weeks of getting poo poo loot from the dragons and elsewhere one of the officers told the guild leader "let me open the DZ this time, you're bad luck." And guess what Naggy dropped? TWO Cloak of Flames (one of which I won), drums and a bag. Vox? Our first RBB. Hate? A Shield of the Immaculate, our second one after getting one the first night and gently caress all after that.
