Apparently out-of-era stuff was dropping but devs were on top of patching loot pools.

Have also heard that some out of era stuff has dropped but don’t know the details.

I would have to say having naggyb(a?) loot drop in lguk is the perfect swap, this looks very interesting. I'm avoiding EQ playing but ill be playing vicariously through others.

Though I hope its not simply a naggy to guk, Vox to naggy type of lazy swaps.

Are rare mobs still dropping like 10 items each?

Did some grouping today on Mischief and nearly naked warriors with rusty weapons have 0 agro - so its the real classic experience !

I guess they have a hard time of it until they get their epics and a lot more levels under their belts.

not a problem if your team dps is all mages, lol


apparently the wierd server issues / inventoryless merchant issues continue, supposedly the devs are actively working on them with the game live + restarting zones individually so as to minimize disruption to the game. Unknown how much progess has been done or when it'll be complete, I imagine at least some people with out of era loot are keeping their lips sealed to try + avoid losing it

There’s probably one Druid out there with a Goblin Gazughi Ring and he’s silent as the grave praying no one notices.

I dinged 10 and memmed some random spell about wolf spirits I don’t think I’ll ever use. Then I took a road trip through Kithicor to the Commonlands. Sooooooo much nostalgia doing that run. I was very careful not to go at night. :3:

Once I bound at the tunnel and popped into Freeport to find all the vendors empty I took it as a sign to take a break and go get food.

Got to level 36 so far on Mischief. Gonna sleep and try and go hard on coming bonus in the morning. Was trying to see if I could catch hasten up after my static went to sleep but no luck. Hopefully he’s up when I wake up.

My necros name is Szinga and I’m leveling in a static with fellow goon Rymos and twitch streamer Bobbybick. Feel free to wave if you see me. Currently in Faceless guild.

They had a familiar In the store for 2 bucks that gave you 250 mana and endurance for 2 bucks.

They removed it and refunded everyone. Was fun while it lasted.

Someone killed Vox on Thornblade tonight. Surprised it took this long... I'm having a blast though at level 13

Indeed. Mischief and Thornblade made it three days without being ruined. And it's the beginning of an extended holiday weekend, so who knows when it'll get fixed.

So, how can I run multiple chars without having tons of computers, I have 2 computers that I can hook up but I want minimum 3 accounts.

I feel like it's supposed to be random like that but currently rare stuff is dropping multiple rare items at a time. That's probably bad?

It made Rahotep a fun camp in North Ro.

Probably need to tweak the drop rates a bit, huh?

I can completely see how massive drop rates were the intention all along.

It was never sold as the type of server where you were going to relive the classic experience of slogging through sky or racing OW dragons as the only way to gear up.

Yea better loot dropping more often is cool. It takes away from the poop sockers controlling the server and more importantly makes it harder for the krono sellers.

Sadly I don't have the time, or any friends interested enough, to actually play, but man watching these guys on Twitch on this bonkers new progression server is just the biggest nostalgia bomb. Probably the only thing stopping me is no Kunark/Iksar yet. I may have to roll a monk when the time comes and punch some leeches....

Edit: I'm also the weirdo that fell absolutely in LOVE with Beastlord when it came out. I love pet classes, I loved monk, and the mix was just absolutely perfect. Shame you would have to wait for Luclin.

Valid, but I actually want to level as an Iksar in Kunark. I want to punch leeches and listen to that squish noise they make.

Hit level 50 today on my necro and managed to snag a halfling deputy mask for 6 krono. This is the most fun I’ve had in EQ in a long time. Can’t wait to see what sky has in store for us. I was in that hate raid with the spite golem loot. Was so loving wild. The forum Andy’s being like “omg server is RUINED” is just icing on the cake. :clint:

On a side note if anyone needs a guild consider joining faceless. I’ve known Kim, Zaide and mist of the officers for years. Stand up crew that will get stuff done if people follow directions. Also a lot of my OGC guildies from phinigel are there too. Dima refuses to play another TLP tho.

I will be bitter about this forever. I hate the Prophecy of Ro Freeport. I hate it just as much now as I did back then.

You can also enter old North Freeport by using the Jade Tiger familiar and entering the current Jade Tiger Inn. If anyone has one of those for sale on Xegony, let me know!

Enchanter provides a ridiculous level of control to a group that nobody else can, plus tash, slows, and you are caster heavy so you gain a lot from not relying on clarity potions. You might value the safety that added control gives you.

I'd say make the enchanter in place of a mage and keep the bard if that's what you intend to main. I think with that group comp about 80% of your focus will be on the SK and the rest can be reduced to a assist and cast macro for basic grinding.

Coming back to this to say you were absolutely correct. I don't think I could have done half the dungeon stuff I've tried so far without the added control of the enchanter.

Anyone else using Multiplicity having issues with the driver PC getting double mouse-look rates sometimes? I end up having to adjust my sensitivity a bunch as it seems to fix itself when I reboot the game then show up again sometime later, I think it's if I zone with the driver PC without having the mouse active?

Movement speed increases are for children and cowards. Real Druids thorns up, root the target and tank it down with self healing like some kind of Halfling Fight Club. (Halfling Fight Club would actually be a pretty good guild name)

Dubious Druid solo strategies aside, I’m still having a blast on Mischief. Took a little time off at 20 to do the Testament of Vaneer and dipped into my true EQ passion, tradeskills, for as much as my meagre supply of plat could manage. Did some of the easy stuff like the first hundred points of Baking so I’m ready to make Rat Ear Pie for the Paw of Opolla in a few levels. :hellyeah:

Now I’m up to 23 and happily boppin along doing my thing. Levelling into the range for Bronze weapon drops helped my plat situation immensely. Not gonna worry about anything more than enough to comfortably cover spells and a little light crafting till I get closer to the cap.

Testament of Vanear and Paw of Opolla are the big two to my recollection. If you’re a Tunare worshipper there’s a quest for a clicky root necklace that I covet greatly. If you get the Bracers of Battle in Crushbone there’s a quest to turn those into 3wis shoulders.

If I remember any more I’ll post them.
