My friends, who are assholes, talked me into playing this. All I really remember about EQ was being a Bard and the irony of never being able to actually talk to anyone in a group. I tried going Rogue, but then I saw a blueberry Bard. So gently caress me, I'm a Bard again. Do raids happen at all? Does the L52 cap for Vox and Nagafen exist, or was that a Luclin addition?

So can I solo 8-14 or so in Blackburrow as a Shaman? I read knoll fangs can be turned in for exp so it seems like BB might be the most efficient? My buddy also told me there's an exp bonus there

If you follow the left wall once you get into the main outdoor area of the zone you will eventually stumble across a door that leads deeper into the dungeon. It should be pretty easy to get into pickup groups there too, it’s a fairly popular zone. By the way I haven’t forgotten about that banded armor, I just wasn’t able to log in because of Real Life Stuff. I’m hoping to be on a bit tonight and I’ll try and hook you up

Seems pretty good, though I just got pretty brutally owned by a pair of blue con. Seems like it might be worth running to Qeynos and soliciting buffs before a grind session there. No problem about the armor! Mauzer, a kindly goon, gave me Gatorscale Legs, a Platinum Armband, and a Bloodstained Tunic, so I'm feeling pretty pimped out right now. Just need stuff for the other slots.

You’ll get your next one (Walking Sleep) at 14. When I was leveling I would pull with a DoT (Sicken, at your level. Tainted Breath as soon as you get it at 9), melee until the mob was about to run, then finish off with a nuke. If the mob was tougher I’d use Drowsy. Flash of Light isn’t worth it unless you’re tanking in a group or something I guess (blind generates crazy aggro). As far as buffs go I would just rock Strengthen and Feet like Cat if you feel you need the slight AC bump, and Dextrous Aura becomes worth it when you get a weapon that procs. You will always have Inner Fire up because you should be using Inner Fire as your heal spell until you get Healing at level 19.

I didn't even know about Sicken, since I just bought everything from the Halas vendors, so I'm gonna go find the guy in Everfrost and grab that + the level 9 spell since I'm close to that anyway. I also had no idea inner fire could function as a heal, which means I can ditch my crappy low level heal, and trade out Dextrous Aura for Feet Like Cat since my current weapon doesn't proc. Looking through my spell list, it looks like I'm gonna have to go to the oasis of Marr and a Cleric trainer by level 14 in order to get stuff like see invisible, dots, etc

You’ll need to trek back to Halas to train Dodge at some point at or above level 15 so I’d advise buying all the spells you want up to 14 as soon as you can afford them. Note that the poison line DOES stack with the disease line, it’s just more efficient to use Tainted Breath by itself once you get it since the mob will probably be dead before Sicken runs its course. YMMV!

I've got like...1100 pp, thanks to generous goons and my buddies, so I imagine I'll be good to go on just picking up all my spells up to like 29 or so.

On Red bards do swarm-kite power-leveling. Get some AOE classes and anybody else you need leveled, stand in middle of the swarm and burn it down. If 25 is the limit it’s still a ton.

Major shoutout to the goons, particularly Jody and Mauzer, the former of whom gave me some dope twinky gear that tripled my HP and has made my life considerably easier and the latter for giving me a sick pile of plat and also some nice gear. Thanks duders, ya'll have already made my life a lot easier and stopped me from dying in BB like six times in a row. By the way - how do I know when my Poison Wind Censer has procced, and is that determined by DEX? Is there a mana regen threshold where I want my wisdom to hover around a certain amount?

Is there a mana regen threshold where I want my wisdom to hover around a certain amount? PWC doesn't proc until you are level 50, which is where the weapon becomes useless because it's an aoe rain spell that also damages you. Great for pre-50 though. Wisdom does not affect your mana regen. Outside of a few very specific, very difficult to acquire pieces of endgame gear, no equipment will do anything for your mana regen. Your spellcasting stat only increases your max mana, which is of extremely dubious value in 99% of circumstances, so you shouldn't really worry about your wisdom very much.

using the pwc as a shaman isnt about the proc but purely for the ratio and damage as you level plus its cheaper than a granite face grinder

I've been pushing myself hard to just pick one character to focus on and lay off the alt hopping. I have narrowed it down to three choices. Druid, Bard, or Rogue. My 21 Druid is pretty decently geared, and my bard has some okish gear that could be used for a rogue as well. Not sure how much I am feeling the druid. I played one back in PoP era live and I remember it being very boring to group with and soloing was just as bad (I mostly root rotted so... yeah of course it was). It would be great to have one leveled just for the benefits it would bring, but I know I would burn out quickly. Bard was my main on live after I gave up on my druid. I had loads of fun with it, could twist and charm swarm kite easily. Just never got the hang of pulling with them and mezzing. Probably would group as much as possible and avoid aoe grind. With rogue I played one on live a little bit, was great since it was basically the dps component of bard that I was missing. Would be great to play since it is such a simple class, just depends on grouping. I gotta say I am leaning towards the Bard/Rogue route, which seems to be popular lately. Simple classes to play, more engaging so not as bored, and melee oriented which I like over casters. Just not sure if I should go that route over the druid, and if so which to pick. I also am not sure if I should sell off everything on the druid (and all the small items on my alts just so I wont be tempted to play them). If I do the Bard/Rogue could be twinked pretty decently. Mostly a pair of Silver Chitin Hand Wraps, and maybe a couple decent weapons. Thoughts? Help me rid myself of my alt addiction.

Eh, my old EQ bard was a cat, and I’m not sure how much changed for Luclin. Qualifier out of the way, playing a bard is a pretty high level task compared to most classes. Quad twisting, especially while weaving in a mez, is a few steps beyond pressing kick or backstab once every few seconds. I’m not saying it’s a super heroic task, but it’s a poo poo ton of effort in comparison. I found it to be a masochistic sort of fun. You can’t really talk in a group and be as effective as you can be, which can be annoying. Bullet train song makes everything ok, though.

A great way to navigate your way around is to go to the P99 wiki, find the zone you're in, navigate around via the hyperlinks to the zone connections. There are a few zone connection maps, but they're kind of annoying to utilize (In my opinion at least...)

If you're in BB, to get to the Oasis you've gotta go to the docks, board the boat, go to east Freeport after crossing the Ocean of Tears... from East Freeport, go to the Desert of Ro, head to the Oasis from there. The return is just the inverse of this... complications come in HEAVILY when you are an evil race (Ikky, Ogre, Troll) over Barbarian. No idea on the sponsoring thing... am totally lost there.

The best way to get there at your level (being that you don't have invisibility yet) would be to get a port. If you're planing on relocating to level be sure to grab, at the very least, your next level of spells to have on hand for when you hit that level. It might even be worthwhile to stash the next spell level's set of spells after that in your bank. Also, remember to get a bind in the nearest city to where you'll be adventuring (once you get Bind Affinity you can bind yourself wherever you want on demand.) My advice for when you run to those spell vendors outside of your class guild to grab what you're missing: buy as many of the spells as you can afford that they sell so you don't have to keep making repeat trips to pick them up later. Just stash them in your bank for when you need them. Would anyone else object to people sponsoring friends into the guild? I guess the only thing I think should be done is to make a post explaining who's sponsoring someone in, just to keep track. ChairmanMauzer fucked around with this message at 21:19 on Feb 14, 2018 |
