JustJeff88 posted:I remember, back in early Velious, leading a weekend-long Sky raid. It was hellish but unforgettable at the same time - it literally took over 30 hours and we still didn't get past island 5... From a few pages back, but wow, that is impressive! Can any other old school players top that? I could never handle the marathon sessions, but the worst I remember is going to Veeshan's Peak for a raid that lasted something like 16 hours.

Perhaps a stupid question, but can I /testcopy over multiple (different) characters per account or is it only one per account? I moved over my main but wanted to bring over an alt.

Is it possible this is it, the "Gift of Legacies Lost"? It shows count 999 on the left and 1 on the right, so I'm not sure which is accurate. But I looked it up and it says it summons a satchel that contains 10 potion of adventure, among other things. Edit: Attachment didn't work.

Devor posted:Pretty certain that those potions are No Drop, not Heirloom. The one mentioned before was only 1, if I recall correctly. And with 999 claimable, it would be easier to just make an alt on test, claim it, and put it in the bank, and not worry about testcopying. So that's not the right claim. I realize this is divergent from the original topic, and I'm sorry for not getting this, but can you clear up my confusion? It says I have 999 claimable. If I go to claim one, it says that it can only be claimed by a single character on my account with a warning to make sure I am logged into the character and server that I want to claim it on. Does that mean that, once I claim it on "CharacterX" on Test server, I can claim it 998 more times but only on that character?

I think I've got it. So basically I can make a character, claim it, put in shared bank, delete the character... rinse, repeat... 999 times.

Andy Dufresne posted:Not really, because the potion of adventure in that claim isn't heirloom and it's only 10% xp. There's another claim for 3x 50% xp heirloom pots with only 1 "quantity" in the claim window. If you've used it anywhere -- on test or live -- you'll never be able to get it again. I made the mistake of claiming it on test and that was it, no duping for me. Oh, bummer. I had given my account to a friend and it seems he must have claimed all of these on the live server.

Question regarding /resetaa usage... Let's say I put points into an AA that raised my potential skill cap beyond what it would normally be, and subsequently raised that skill up. Then, I do a /resetaa and reassign my AA but do not re-purchase that AA that raised my skill cap. Will that break anything or will my skill just go back to whatever it was before the AA was involved?

What about for AA that raise skills, not necessarily stat caps? For example "New Tanaan Crafting Mastery" where you can raise a tradeskill beyond what your cap would be without the AA? So if I had that AA and raised my skill to, say, 225, but then /resetaa and don't buy it again, so does my skill cause problems if it's at 225/200?

Thanks for the clarification on /resetaa. I also found that, if you try to use it again, it says you have to wait a week. But apparently you might just need to zone and then it will work again. I waited a few hours and logged back in and I could use it.

Vomik posted:FYI, I don't know if it's active or not, but if you're below 2-3k AA you won't notice it if you have 100% AA turned on. It's additive not multiplicative. Oh, this is good to know. So, since I am level 80 on my characters and with significantly less than 2k AA, I should probably use the double exp weekend to get some levels rather than AA.

Do the 10 dose 100% xp potion if you haven't done that already and then level and get some of the augs along the way. There are a lot of them that are still very good choices to this day. What are the augs you speak of?

You could always create a new account for free on your live server and trade the items back and forth on various mule characters to maximize your item copying potential.

Working on SoD progress and I am at the Field of Scale area. For the task 'Lost and Found' from Jaled`Dar, it says the following on Allakhazam:quote:This is a shared task which begins with Jaled`Dar in the Field of Scale. He is found among the dragons due south of the Void portal. Looking at my /ach window, I see the following tasks complete: "Sealed Message: Raising Cabilis" "Sealed Message: Sarnak Recovery (Kurn)" "Severilous: Food Supplies" "Trakanon: Supplies" By my count, this is four of the above eight tasks, yet Jaled`Dar does not give me the quest. Anyone have any ideas?

Apart from the +8% dodge augment, are there any other type 3 LDON augments that are worth getting? I have an empty type 3 augment slot that I'd like to fill, and this seems like the easiest way to do so.MrTheDevious posted:Do the other Sarnak Recovery, cause Alla's wrong. We did that a month or so ago to open up the Kaesora instance for swarming and we def had to do all of the recovery quests Thanks for the clarification.

ShankyMcStabber posted:Did they change anything on how testcopy works? When I last played the testcopy made all copied items NO DROP (even from FV). I ask because during an I quit phase I gave a friend my pre-nerf CoS and he sold it so I have been trying to get myself one on my test SK for nostalgia (I know it isn't as useful as it once was). It adds a "Copied" tag to tradeable items brought over via /testcopy, but that's it really. You can copy something over and it won't become "No Trade".

Scorps posted:My guys are both almost 10 after a few hours and about to complete the tutorial (I barely remember anything from this game) so any tips would be great no matter how general Do the hot zone quest each time you hit the level for a new hot zone, which is every five levels (although if you level too fast you will have to wait as there is a lockout timer on the quest). The NPC is Franklin Teek in Plane of Knowledge. He's right outside the Guild Lobby zone. The hot zones are amazing experience at the lower levels up until about level 50 when it starts to drop off, which also coincides with a pretty lame hot zone in Plane of Disease. Go to Plane of Justice instead. Use your "Lesson of the Devoted" for max experience gain when available/necessary.

You should be able to find defiant gear in /bazaar that is relatively inexpensive. It also drops at random so be sure to loot all corpses for anything you kill. You may as well keep leveling. Just do the hot zone quests from Franklin Teek (which will give you a piece of gear, too) until you get to the low 50s which is when stuff will start to get more difficult and then you'll want to concentrate on improving your gear, particularly if you're still using the /testbuff stuff.

Donny J posted:I used to play ages ago, stopped right around GoD I think, and have a 66 Paladin floating around on some server. I'm looking to reroll as a Mage, and was wondering which server would be best to start up on. I'm going to try to eventually set up boxing once I get a feel for the game again, but I've never been that good at it so I would hope to find a decent population of people to group with when necessary. Well, if you want to try boxing, Test is the most affordable since you can create free "Gold" accounts with all expansions enabled, etc. It doesn't really have a good population for grouping at the lower levels especially, but you can box and use a merc on each of your characters to create your own group and play this way until you reach the higher levels where you may be a little more likely to find a group. As sad as it is for old school players, you can get a new character up to your former character's level of 66 in mere hours.

si posted:I have a couple of questions... I can't help with the boxing questions, but two points about Test that may be pertinent: firstly, you can use the "/testbuff" command to instantly jump your characters to level 25 with appropriate skills and equipment; secondly, the Test server has an inherent exp bonus, so if you're going to grind levels, do it there and it will go faster!

Pilsner posted:Did raids back in the day seriously have to do all of PoT in one sitting, within the time limits, or did the time limits get "saved" so you could continue with the next phase the next day? If not, that is insane. Must've been fun spending 10-15 hours in a row in a ball-busting raid. I don't remember PoT taking too absurdly long to clear, and certainly not 10 hours. I thought it was more like 3-4 hours.

I want to get a nostalgia kick but I don’t want to poop sock for 5 years like I did back in the day. As the other person suggested, go the emulator route if it's feasible. You can set your level, summon any items you want, teleport around, instant kill any mobs, etc. I did that for a nostalgia kick and it seemed to work well in that regard.

Old school (10+ years ago) player coming back to EQ with a question: I have two level 85 characters and I read something about how you can use a shroud functionality to go back and complete old content as if you were that level, but gain experience for your level. Does that mean that I can use a shroud and play content from say level 45 but it gives me experience at 85? If so, are there any comprehensive "how to shroud" guides you can recommend so I can understand what I am doing and how it works?
