Droid Washington posted: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? You can safely ditch the cleric until 55ish, then switch back. At that point, your skills will catch up fairly quickly. Really though, play how you want, just be prepared to spend a bit more time to get up in levels.

SweeneyTodd posted:So I'm gonna try this out. I've been following the thread and I'm deciding between Bard, Shaman, and Enchanter. I assumed Enchanter is a boxed buffbot because that was happening even back when I played (like pre-Kunark to Luclin). Races are 300SC, classes are 700 or 750SC. The normal rate is 100SC = $1, unless you buy it on sale. I'd just go gold for a month if i were you, try out the classes you want, then you can drop to silver if you want. I can't really address your choice of classes other than to say that all classes are viable if you're having fun with them. Honestly, if your computer can handle it, there's no reason not to two box. The extra merc gives you more options of content to explore. I'd recommend a wizard, as they have ports and the least need for gear/paying attention to them.

xZAOx posted:How's that panning out, btw? How many "free" AA exp are you getting per hour? I just saw you hit like 400 the other day (I think it was), so it must not be amazing (but hey, free is free). I get about 4% per kill, and the best spot I've found so far is 5 mobs on a 6 minute respawn. So, I get 20% of an AA every six minutes, or two AA per hour. The cost is 36.5pp per merc per 15 mins, which comes out to 292pp per hour, or 146pp per AA. It's not amazing, but I'm not able to play much during the week, so it's nice to get some of the required AA out of the way without effort. Insensitive, nope. I've posted my char names in this thread though. I'm not hiding or anything. Worst case, I get banned and have more free time and an extra 30 bucks a month.

xZAOx posted:I'm pretty certain they've said it's completely legitimate gameplay. Insensative_Asshole posted:^^^ That's what i thought. I know when mercs first came out they were all, "the game should be played, not afked." IMO, even if it is allowed, you should still keep to unused areas, just to avoid ticking off other players. If you're looking for a good spot, check out Katta Castrum.

xZAOx posted:Oh, your cost was so high with J1s because you have double mercs. I wasn't paying enough attention earlier. I might could do just a 6-8 hour session while I'm asleep, and then spend AA and resume or turn it off, right before going to work...hrm. That'd keep costs from skyrocketing too much at least. But still, that's expensive. Keep in mind: a) you'll be limited to maybe one or two mob camps without a healer merc. b) I have pets which start attacking the mobs when I am hit. Tank merc dps isn't great. Those two things might make it not worthwhile.

Hoohah posted:If you're not doing blatantly obvious things with MQ like trying to warp or breaking your speed cap, they don't have anything in place to look for MQ (or if they do, they've since stopped caring since accounts are free). Last I heard from the MQ forums, the EQ launcher was actively scanning processes. So, if you try MQ, kill the launcher before you start up MQ.

The337th posted:Yes, it will permanently raise to a 1000 AA cap if you spend $5.00 on anything in the game. This is not true. Unless they've changed it, silver is an upgrade by itself. That is, you have to pay $5 for the privilege of being silver, not just spend $5 on anything.

Keith Stone posted:Awww hell yes! Balee is like 15% from 78 and the gnome just dinged 70! If I'm remembering right, they stack, but the percentages add. Thus, 2x weekend plus 2x pot = 3x experience.

Keith Stone posted:That's a powerful combo. Mage pet will outclass even the J5 merc above 86 or so, I'd recommend 2 wizard mercs with this setup. I only use the tank merc so I can be lazier, but it does limit what I can do. Also, the $15/month isn't bad if you buy 6 months at a time, it comes down to like $11 or so.

Andy Dufresne posted:I'm looking for a good place to move my 63 Shaman, 76 Necro, Tank, and Healer merc group. I'm 100% AA on the Necro and 0% on the Shaman while they get closer in level. I spent a lot of time in the hole and loved it but I'm frankly tired of it and the AAxp for the necro was slow. I've spent the last couple of days in the Verigald Mines and while it was challenging and fun, the loot was unrewarding and the pulls were slow enough as to be inefficient for leveling the Shaman. Katta Castrum, kill the elementals. They're level 70ish, but weak cons.

Andy Dufresne posted:Thanks for the advice guys, I'll probably check out Katta first because I can port there from the GH. My only experience in Katta is at the Greenhouse, where are the elementals? There are several areas, the easiest to get to is head south from zone in to the middle "ring" of Katta, then head east, you should see them just through the first door. If you have problems finding it, I'm usually in gchat.

JustJeff88 posted:It's over 200 plat, but going through the Feerrott statue is free. The point is that I have to run across at least part of the zone, and if anything sees me I am dead in in instant. Well, you are 5 levels below that content. What do you really expect? Especially in late game content, where mudflation has had its run, if you aren't ready for it, you're going to die. My main is a level 89 mage and if I don't have a merc up, I have to gate if I get agro in Feerrott 2.0. What I'm getting at is: you aren't broken, that's just the game. lotor9530 fucked around with this message at 20:59 on Dec 31, 2012 |

It should be noted that unless someone has taken to doing it, you'll need to be able to update MQ2 yourself if you play on Test, as it is not supported by the MQ2 community.

Just keep pushing north through that series of zones. I wouldn't worry too much about gear right now, when you hit 70ish I can copy over some gear for you. Alternately, do what you want. It's a game, have fun with it!

Ante Christ posted:I used the double XP weekend to get my mage and SK to 85, and was going to start using some of the plat I had on the live server to buy rustic wraps and /testcopy them over. It seems like my testcopy mules have all disappeared. Did SOE nerf test copy when I wasn't looking? I can't do the tradeskill stuff, but can do full sets of Glowing Reis, which is roughly equivalent, and not nearly as much of a pain to make.

si posted:Ah, foiled, Test patched and MQ2 out of date. Any tips on handling that, or should I just not box quite the same for a bit? Unless you learn to find the offsets yourself, playing with MQ2 on Test is spotty at best. I'd learn to live without it. You can use isBoxer and cleverly set up hotkeys to achieve much of the results though, sans automation.
