my friend got me back into the game for this new server. Having a hard time picking between bard, enchanter, shaman or druid. Any advice for race/class and early leveling spots?

I've seen a few in a guild called Ganges Goones or somesuch but I don't think there's any official one. Come join the serverwide chat channel by typing /join serverwide.gchat:fygm I'm seeing more folks in there on Agnarr, come stop in and ask one of my chars (Librarian, Talking, Sabado) for some free poo poo and I can make and parcel some jewelry to you. I've been having a ton of fun soloing as an enchanter in the Hole. I leveled from 53 to 59 in there just screwing around exploring and still haven't covered the entire place. Anybody on Agnarr in the mid 40s and up is welcome to join and get some okay xp/loot while exploring a badass zone. You'll also probably get to see a gnome get pasted by a golem breaking charm repeatedly with Solarin fucked around with this message at 03:18 on Sep 18, 2017 |

Thank you for the clutch heal when I was at 10% and my charm wanted me dead real bad. Anyone know how camped the open world fear/hate planes are now? I've been wanting to go try and solo there as an enchanter and get some blue diamonds and such

The pace on Agnarr feels perfect to me. The levels fly by when grouped and in a good spot, but solo is decent enough for classes that can do it. Though the xp loss from dying hurts real bad when you're soloing, especially in the 50s.

isn't Gann one of the possible summoned pet names? I'll see if I can catch him online and set him up with some jewelry if he needs any. Or take him on a tour of The Hole, I've been living in there for a few weeks now and still have fun hunting there and yeah you're kind of an rear end in a top hat but EQ has its own rhythm that is unlike more modern MMOs so it's got some novelty still, and leveling on Agnarr is fast with lots of people to group with

Anybody want to explain true box servers and VM? I understand it's against the rules but this being Daybreak I also don't see them jumping to ban people who are paying for multiple accounts. I'd really like to not buy a whole loving computer just to screw around in this ancient game, any suggestions on where to find more info?

Essential posted:I decided to roll a Mage to box with my Enchanter, that sound like a good idea? My thought was dps, plus pet for tanking/off tanking. I"ve pl'd him to level 22 so far and have been enjoying the playstyle. that is a great pair for churning through easy content where you can survive without heals. Malo is a huge bonus for charming. If you need to heal your charm you can use mez/mem blur it out of combat to regen 30% of their life per tick

The UI is the same between live and TLP as far as I know. My take on your question from playing on Agnarr: Solo viability comes down to class and how fast you expect to progress. I soloed most of the way from 45-60 with my enchanter and liked the pace. I think warriors would need great gear and a mix of proc weapons to be decent soloers. Even then a death can wipe out potentially hours of progress while solo Tanks have an easy time finding groups at the main leveling dungeons and an easy time starting your own groups if you want to go to a less busy spot

Equality posted:I just started on Agnarr after getting the MMO bite again. In as Ignatz if anyone has some old monk gear collecting dust in their bank or if anyone else wants to get in on this grind with me! Iksar master race of course! Sent you some jewelry and a monk friendly rat bashing stick Also Agnarr is on Velious with Luclin in 5 weeks or so. Population is still pretty decent and there will probably be a good boost in leveling people when Beastlords are available

How worthwhile are AC debuffs for small melee heavy groups? Been soloing with my enchanter where my charm pet does 99% of my damage and use Cripple off and on with no real clue how effective it is. Also does debuffing a mobs agility reduce its AC/avoidance like it would a player? This is on Agnarr so it's before the debuff lines that take a % from avoidance or whatever.

Rasczak posted:What's up guys, I recently got back into this and am currently a 28 HE Bard on Agnarr. I have a quick question: I haven't played since Velious and it turns out I need someone to explain to me as if I were a simple child why most of my armor is not giving me benefits/AC despite being equippable. Several pieces have yellow backgrounds/red names and near as I can tell give no benefits when equipped, and it's mostly just small bronze/small ringmail. WTF? looks like your question was answered already but I just leveled a half elf bard on Agnarr and have some old stuff you can wear for real and get precious numbers from

speaking of rogues, does poison have any real utility in the eras Agnarr goes through (in groups or raids)? Is it expensive to use regularly?

Just curious, how many goons are still bumping around Agnarr? Ever since Luclin I've been too non committal to pick a main and get some AA points so I'm just rolling more alts. Latest is a rogue and it's my first pure melee class and more fun than I expected. Has anybody here soloed much as a rogue? I noticed you can sometime strafe through a mob fast enough to land a backstab before it turns to face you. Curious if it's possible to do consistently if anyone has any idea what the trick is. Also looking at poison and wondering if the AA to speed up the apply time makes them worth a drat?

xZAOx posted:They literally just fixed it. Holy poo poo, clicking from bags?? Also the new server sounds good to me, but haven't experienced the phinny xp rate to know what it means when they say 'phinny after Feb 2016'. I will probably make one char there compared to the dozen alts I've been enjoying on Agnarr.

onesixtwo posted:Seems like nerfing a pure quality of life item that require a ton of faction grind to earn (has been around since always?) is a pretty lovely idea. If you have access to charm or undead charm the quest becomes completely trivial. I just went and did it for the first time on my enchanter. I walked up, charmed the foreman, handed him a jade and was done in 10 seconds. Still it's a really dumb change considering how long travel time crossing kunark zones already is. I think I'll make a character on the new server but also think I'll burn out fast on the slow xp rate. Also the crowding in popular zones is a real shitshow when the server is busy and limited to classic. I'd probably make a druid just so I could make groups and port people to unpopular dungeons for leveling.

I was thinking of doing enchanter/druid because I have grown addicted to the power of enchanter and resent its absence. May be able to power through a slower xp rate by working in zones I can double charm. Really considering adding in a Mage since I have another account to use but god drat that class is boring. Just thinking about mages is boring

Avenged posted:So i'm looking for some old school EQ nostalgia, hated P99. I tried Phinegel when it was in PoP and enjoyed it but the levelling was pretty slow going. Agnarr leveling is apparently much faster than Phinny. There was a big surge of new players when Luclin hit and a ton of Beastlords alts being made which seems like it's tapered off by now, but still not a bad time to start. I'd suggest jumping in to Agnarr now and make a character on the new server in a month to see how you like it. Being limited to just classic content really isn't as fun as it sounds on a busy server. If you decide to roll on Agnarr post your class and name and I can set you up with some starter stuff

onesixtwo posted:Where is Agnarr on the timeline for unlocks? I haven't touched my Chanter / Cleric there in forever but playedthrough Kunark and almost finished my Cleric epic. Luclin opened a couple weeks ago and I think PoP hits late April. Dire Charm is in and requires level 59 and 9 AA points. It's sort of a niche thing because it only works up to level 46 and not every zone has a good pet in that range

Orty posted:Been tempted to try Agnarr out since PoP Era was my golden era. How is the low level population, enough to casually find groups to level? Would I run into a bunch of boxers or are they somewhat rare (or friendly enough to let people join them)? Then of course, how much of an impact does krono have on the economy? Is it necessary to deal with them or can you get by without having to? On the other hand, would one krono be enough to get enough gear to start out on for a bard or rogue? Low end gear is absurdly cheap right now so you can easily get a full set of decent stuff for like half of a krono. The population is pretty good but leveling groups usually stick to a handful of zones. That said you have to be willing to start your own groups and be creative to not be stuck LFG for long stretches.

One big bard change was AE kiting is no longer possible. The AE dot songs do no damage to moving targets. Be aware if that was a big part of why you enjoyed bard. Other than that I'd say give it a shot and see if it's fun for you. Overall I've found the people on the server to be pretty decent and fun to play with, and the pace of leveling is fast and doesn't feel like a miserable slog unless you're stuck LFG

People seem to like bard pullers on Agnarr. Selos plus their lull is drat good. CC still seems incredibly useful where Agnarr is at, especially if you don't have a shaman/enchanter strength slow. Bards are awesome and can pretty well adapt to fit in with any group. Rogues are way more fun if you want to see big numbers though

Orty posted:Well made a Rogue and got to 7. Love doing actual DPS (though at this level Bard probably does the same). Bit boring since its just auto attack at the moment. I think you want the highest max damage piercer you can find for your main hand, that will give you bigger backstabs. So the frozen shard, rabid chokdai fang or serpents tooth are all good choices. Offhand just go with the best ratio or stats you can find, and if you really care to get a slash and blunt weapon you can switch in to work on your weapon skills as you level. Post your chars name if you want and I can send you some starter jewelry

Orty posted:Rosni is my Rogue and Lubeni is my Bard. Just a rogue tip that is not really obvious at first - you can use hide during combat to attempt to drop aggro. Mechanically I don't know how it works but it seems really effective when it doesn't fail. I think all the pure melee classes are dead simple in combat until later expansions. If you want a bigger toolkit then ranger is a really good choice. Beastlords are pretty niche, I would recommend a shaman over a Beastlord unless you really loved the BL concept. You have to really work on building or finding a group if you don't want to be stuck LFG for long stretches. Being stuck there absolutely sucks for rogues, can be just completely demoralizing. Maybe switch between your two chars when groups aren't happening for one or the other. Shoot a tell to my enchanter (Librarian) if you need a hand with anything

FranktheBank posted:Its mostly guild groups, but mainly my box bard aoe slows while my pally group heals for threat. and I let them kill themselves on the 100 pt DS. That sounds like a good strategy. What is the best set of songs/instruments for stacking DS anyway? I have been wanting to try doing power leveling with my bard and don't really know where to start. Do you generally want a Druid/Mage DS in addition to your songs?

Orty posted:Having tons of fun on Agnarr, currently ripping through Unrest or at least trying. Got to 24 1/2 before my group got trained by someone PLing. Then another 5 box PLer came in. This was of course after spending 30 minutes trying to find a group. Because the previous one I had kicked and immediately replaced me when I let them know I would be needing to afk (and would drop group) a half hour from then. Yeah boxing is common, the true box limit doesn't really hinder you much when it comes to having a buff/heal bot tag along out of group. It's very little effort for a huge boost to your effectiveness at low levels so you see it a lot. 26 is a nice level for rogues, that's the point where your worn haste is no longer capped at 10%. Also as you level your total haste (worn+song or spell) cap gets higher up to +100% at 60. I think 50 is when you can get your epic and 55 is double backstab. I play on Agnarr on a bunch of characters but have been away due to a dying PC. I have a SK at 35 I think when you get up to that range. The serverwide channel is pretty quiet, I think most Agnarr goons are busy with their guilds so there's very little pick up goon group action.

onesixtwo posted:Druid is for solo camping some drops, the utility of having ports without using Taxi, probably port whoring for early spell money, and PLs. I see the Druid as one of the better classic classes due to how versatile they are, even if they have less DPS or healing than their counterparts. Sure every DPS class can do more than them, but a Druid can start an exp group if there aren’t any clerics around whereas a mage can just.. well okay, get more mages and out burn the mobs before healing is needed, sure. Still kind of a preference choice though, and it wouldn’t be my first venture to having a Druid so I know how to play the role to what the group needs. How did you like chanter/cleric? I am trying to decide which priest do pair with a chanter on the new server. I like shaman as a class the most but they don't seem to really have a lot of interesting spells before kunark
