Alright, my goon buddy and I rolled on Luclin last night as an enchanter and monk. We're currently in the tutorial getting everything done. I've played on and off for years, but this is my friend's first time legitimately playing, so I'm excited for him. Some guy in the tutorial was handing out plat, so we have 250pp now to spend on spells, skills, and merc upkeep for a while. We'll be getting into the goon guild sometime soon, but anything we should know about our specific situation that might make things smoother or more fun for us? Also, solid OP, has helped a lot, even if I thought I was already a pro EQ player.

I started an SK, and chose the healing merc because my logic is: I want to raise my defense and fighting skills, and if I let the tank merc do all the work, I'll end up high level and no defense/offense skills. Is this dumb and should I dismiss my cleric and get a tank to fight along with?

Is Luclin still currently where to go for new/returning players? Qarm? I'd like to start a new character but it'd be nice to play with some goons.

Well if anyone is still poking around on Luclin, I'm Goonak in Ominous Latin Words. 60 SK, no real plans, just messing around earning some AAs and probably a few levels. I'll also be creating a new character at some point so if anyone is interested in starting fresh I'd be down.

I'm definitely going to play Agnarr. I'm struggling picking my class though. My options are: 1. Relive the glory days as a Troll SK. 2. Play the most satisfying class ever: cleric. I think I'd have the most fun with this one but I also feel like half the server will be clerics and enchanters and shaman. I want to be a unique snowflake. 3. Wizard is the only class in EQ I never really leveled up to any extent. Seems like it'd be boring solo though, for the times I couldn't get a group.

Piss de Bundy posted:lol leveling in innothule swamp is ridiculous compared to the other races starting zones This is accurate to the early game. I remember my first character was a troll and coming across another player, while not rare, was exciting. When I made my first non-troll character after playing in Innothule / South Ro for a month, I made a high elf and was suddenly thrust into a bustling GFay.

The Gloomingdeep armor you get from the tutorial is reskinned Crude Defiant so thats a good way to get a full suit right out the door. Also I didn't realize how quick leveling is these days. On Phinny I'm almost 40 and I made my little SK two days ago! The tank merc definitely helps plow through things. I've just been hitting the hotzone 10 levels above me and blitzing through mobs.

I'm kinda burned out on just straight leveling at the moment. Got to level 48 before it happened! I need some other goals. What are some good rings and earrings I can work towards for SK? Everything in the bazaar is expensive or terrible for jewelry. I have no earrings at all except for looted no-stat earrings.

Krazuel posted:I'm starting to feel that drat itch and I don't want it! Do it.  A couple things I've realized: -You can control when/what your tank merc attacks with the Assist and Passive modes on the merc control panel. I went 51 levels before realizing this and it always made pulling very calculated. -You can Bind Wound while sitting/medding. -Some expansions have harder hitting mobs with higher HP at the same level. This is why sometimes its good to stay in Velks or whatever for longer instead of going to a PoP or TSS expansion zone (for example). -Clickies don't have to be at the root level of your inventory! They can be in a bag! - "/hidecorpse all" is a godsend when you have 15 giant spiders with No Drop/No Lore items sitting on them and it's getting hard to see, or in a confined dungeon. -It's good to pay attention to aggro balance with your merc because you still need to raise your defensive skills. As an SK, I wait until a mob is at 40% then I start taunting and letting it beat on me, so at level 53 so far all my defense stats, taunt, disarm, etc are all maxed. -Try not to buy too many upgrades. Set a price limit of 50-100pp and if any gear is higher than that just don't buy it. Between drops, the daily hotzone quest, quests in general, and cheap <100pp gear at the baz, you'll just do fine leveling. -DO sell your extra defiant and trade skill whatnots in the baz when you're not playing to wrack up thousands of plat, then put it in the bank only keeping on you what you need for merc upkeep. Well anyway, as a returning player I just thought some of these tidbits could be useful so I posted them. Welp see ya. LuckyCat fucked around with this message at 07:21 on Jan 13, 2019 |

Absolutely incredible how this game still pulls me in. This Mischief server is fun, and everyone is very friendly and just shits items at you. Reminds me a little of Test Server to a smaller degree.

Playing SK (and also trying to keep my cleric on pace, currently 12 and trying to get to Unrest group level). Unrest is actually super unfamiliar to me. I started playing during Kunark and I leveled through LOIO in the teens and early 20s before moving to The Overthere, then Frontier Mountains, then Dreadlands.

Any good necro guides for a TLP server (Mischief)? I seem to recall milestones like pets being able to dual weild, certain ones being a "rogue" and able to backstab, etc. I am also not sure if it's advantageous to give my skelly weapons or any other items.

Is there a goon guild? Also do cash shop exp potions stack with the 76% bonus going right now?

29 now with my lil gnome SK on Vaniki. Seems like groups are hard to come by or at least in this level range. I ran to LGuk to see how I could do there and was able to squeeze a couple of kills but it was a very small area I felt comfortable in near the entrance with really slow repops. Any ideas for a place with blue and white mobs I can tackle pretty easy solo?

In 2001-2002 era I had my druid buddy ninja loot a Noctivigant Blade from KC when it dropped. He ninja'd it then went LD. That night we arranged to log in at like 3am to exchange the sword. Over the next couple of days he understandably got upset messages from the group calling him out for what he did. Our story was he was looting it to make sure it didn't rot, and then his Internet was disconnected. When he logged back in there was no sword in his inventory. A GM got involved and messaged me, because of course they were able to track the blade to my inventory. I realized we had been caught so in order to not get banned, I continued the lie. That druid was my brother and I logged into his account and saw the Noct Blade in his inventory. Supposing it was a gift for me I exchanged it to my SK. I apologized for the misunderstanding and we gave the blade up. Looking back on it I realized how hosed up it is, like some kind of terrible con. Well, it WAS a con, not LIKE one. I wish I could say I was just a stupid teenager at the time but that would just be making excuses. Karma had it's way with me when I got scammed out of an equally expensive weapon (at the time) a few months later. Anyone had a similar story or am I the only reformed piece of poo poo here?

I am sad the mega exp bonus on Vaniki is over and I didn’t make it to 55. It was a long week at work and one of the days I dedicated to leveling got cut short by our neighbors house being on fire, lol. Last night in the final hours I found a Dulak group (and then we went to Nadox) and went from 41 to 51. I’ll take that! At first I was kinda bummed that Vaniki isn’t as popular as some of the other TLPs but I’ve already made friends with people around my level and my rep as a solid group tank should hopefully make it easy to group up from 51-55 and then beyond when more levels are unlocked. What should my stat priority be as an SK? I was in a group with another SK last night and he said I should only focus on AC. I get that, but some of the pieces he was suggesting id be losing a lot of stats including a ton of stamina and HP, and sacrificing mana as well which I use to hold aggro.

You can basically gear out in Veksar with near-best groupable stuff. Monumentally helpful post, thank you! I went Baz shopping and I got my AC from 399 to 440 and all my Gloomingdeep replaced. I looked for things that were maximum AC per pp in the midrange (so a 30 AC bp for 450pp versus a 33 AC bp for 2500pp). LuckyCat fucked around with this message at 15:49 on Jul 10, 2022 |
