drat it, I think I'm about to resub again. Last time I was playing, /taskadds were all the rage for quick levels and AA. Is that still going on much? Not sure if anyone plays on Quellious, but if so keep an eye out for Moro/Goldmund (monk and druid combo).

Time to go buy some more Wal-mart station cards (2000 points for $15.00, which is 4000 points during double SC - that's right, $15.00 for $40.00). Can you buy expansions with station cash? I can't check any game related sites at work, but if so I might have to go stock up on cards.

I wouldn't let the loss of a few level 65 characters deter you from coming back. I spent about 20 hours this weekend getting a bard from 1-70 with his epic 2.0, and I could have cut that time in 1/3 if I'd been more prepared.

Anyone know of good group spots/instances for grinding exp at 85? I'm rolling now with an 86 monk with 2k AA, 86 druid with 1.5k AA, 86 shaman with 200ish AA and a 73 bard with 0 AA. I want to get the shaman and bard up to the 1000-1500 range before I switch back to normal exp. So far I've been pulling trains of 20-30 mobs in Loping Plains, but if anyone has a better spot they're willing to share I'm all ears.

JustJeff88 posted:I would strongly recommend taking some time to earn some AA with your bard, if only to get a few core abilities that really revolutionise the class. My bard has less than 100 AA (and is only 67), but I have invested heavily in movement speed enhancing abilities (Level 5 Innate Run Speed, both levels of Fleet of Foot, and 1 of 3 levels of Selo's Enduring Cadence which I can't improve any further until 68), Bellow (instant-cast pulling DD ability with a huge range) and, perhaps most importantly, Fading Memories (instant cast aggro wipe with 1 second cooldown). These abilities really make bards fantastic pullers and I think would really complement your other classes. Then again, you have a monk with an ungodly amount of AA already, so maybe you don't care. Yeah, I should probably switch over and snag 50ish or so AA on the bard before I go back to leveling on him. He's only got about 20 hours /played right now, and probably half of that was spent getting his 1.5 epic. The monk is my long time main, and I cut my teeth pulling raids from Veeshan's Peak era all the way to Depths of Darkhollow, so he's probably always going to be my go-to puller.  Creative Bicycle posted:Get your bard to 75 and do the task "Filling the Repository" in Pellucid Grotto. If you keep him at 75 for a while he'll get around 25-27aa per task turn in (every 6 hours) + the exp from killing the mobs needed to do the task. You need to be 75 to get the rewards from the task though. At 86 you get around 15-17aa per turn in, or almost one full yellow of normal exp. Sounds promising, thanks. Is there a six hour lockout on the task?

JustJeff88 posted:I'd like it if we could talk about the bard 1.5. My bard has his 1.0 and, thanks to Loon, also has the first bit of his 1.5 from Dragon Necropolis, though I need to get him back out there and start picking up those bits of dragon bone in order to do that first sequence of fights. Well I actually play on Quellious/Povar, so I won't be able to help in game, but I can try to answer any questions you have here. The foraging in Skyfire should be easy for you. The globes are droppable, so you can just port in with your druid and get all 4 right where you zone in. I think it only took me about 15 minutes for that. There is a bit of farming needed in Dragon Necropolis, but nothing you couldn't knock out in an evening on your own. The fights there will be the hardest part for you, but if you can get a level 95 or a few 85ish to help out it should be cake. The worst bit for me was farming the Dragorn Bloods. You need 8, and they are a rare spawn off Dragorns in Wall of Slaughter or Nobles Causeway. Drop rate is supposedly better in WoS, but it still took me 4 clears of every dragorn in the zone to get what I needed. That would be pretty rough at 67 I'd think, so you'd probably have to go to Nobles Causeway for them. You'll also have to farm components for the diamonds you need (which you'll need a level 65 or higher enchanter to make). They are all droppable, so if you're lucky you can find them in the bazaar. Most of the bits were quick drops for me, but Metallic Liquid can be a huge pain in the rear end (and still sells for 5-7k each on my server). Honestly the bard 1.5 is the hardest and most time consuming of any epic in my opinion, but the clicky is most definitely worth the effort.

Haven't played EQ since Diablo 3 came out, and just saw the EQ Facebook post about SC not being usable on subs starting Monday. Sucks that they are going away, but pretty cool that subs are half price right now. Now I have 2 years locked in on 4 accounts. Dunno how much I'll actually be playing, but $15 for a year is pretty drat sweet.

I've got a 5-box setup on Povar (war/monk/druid/shaman/bard) that has been chewing through HoT progression. I'm currently at 95% into level 92 on all 5 chars, and am wondering if it might be a good idea to hold at 92 and AA for a bit. I'm working on aug camps for the warrior, and I'd prefer to maximize exp while I do it. I saw earlier in the thread someone mentioned that 92 is kind of a magic level, and a lot of good exp spots dry up once you ding 93. I only have RoF on one box, so won't be going past 95 any time soon in any case. Any thoughts on that plan?

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. If you're looking to group as you level up, I can suggest Vox. I recently leveled from 1-60ish there to play with some old friends, and had no problems hopping into pickup groups on the way. Every zone I leveled in had multiple pickup groups going, which was quite a surprise coming from a mature server.

I'm close to hitting 95 now on my box group (monk/war/bard/sham/dru) and am looking for some "projects" to work on. By that, I mean stuff like the MPG trials that maybe not everyone knows about these days, but can still offer a nice bonus for high level characters. I'm thinking about doing the DoN raid progression for the AAs it unlocks next. Anyone have some other suggestions for older quest lines that would still be of benefit to modern characters?

I ran a few LDoN last night, working towards the dodge aug. There is a trick to requesting one at high levels, since the average level can't exceed 82, and you can't have more than a 15 level spread. Basically, all you need to do is invite one character to your group and have them camp out for the duration. That player counts as a level 0 for your average, but doesn't count against your level spread since it is camped out. I was able to get my group of 5 level 94 dudes in with no problem. Also, I'd suggest killing every mob and looting. Seemed the average coin drop was about 12p per corpse, and there were lots of gems as well. Mob density is pretty high, so it adds up quick.

You know, honestly I didn't even try requesting one normally first. Everything I found online pointed to a level cap, but with a game this old it's hard finding current info on everything. I'll have to try it later. I've been playing off and on since beta, but LDoN never really grabbed me. Most of my play time was spent raiding, and I wasn't a fan of instanced content back then. I love instances now that I play mostly solo/boxing though. Edit: Yup, I'm a retard. Was just able to request an LDoN with 5 94's in group, no problems.

Well, I'll go give it another shot. I think I must be having a problem with positioning. He is standing in a pool of water, and that was making it very hard to hit. It didn't help that he is rooted, so the time spent moving everyone into position kinda screwed me from the start. I think this time I'll try having everyone set before I move the tower into position and activate him. Here is the warriors magelo, he has the lowest AA in the group, and I just finished off filling his aug slots. http://eq.magelo.com/profile/2490357

Psykmoe posted:Last time I came back I read that that after a certain point, some classes need a fair investment in AA abilities to keep being able to solo, but I can't remember if Mercs existed yet at that point. So my question is, if I were to pick my SK back up, is there a level range/zone where I should settle in to grind out AA points before continuing, or what? Good news! If you have a gold account on a production server, or play on test server, you will get your AA maxed out at every level up to 85 automatically. No more grinding AA at lower levels!

I had 5 heroic chars to gently caress around with, so I rolled a paladin, necro, mage, wizard and enchanter. Still working on getting my main box crew to 100, so hopefully by the time I get around to these new guys the crazy rush of 85s will have worn off a bit. My main crew is at 96 now: monk, druid, bard, shaman and warrior. I've also got an 80 sk and 80 cleric hanging around too. Christ I have played way too much EQ over the years.

Are there any decent guides that can teach me the basics of either class's high level play? A heroic char starter guide would be pretty great. Just something to break down all the important spells/skills/aa you should be using for each class at 85 in different settings.

That said, it is NOT instant click, it's like 0.8 or something and IMO not even remotely worth the time required. You can get one if you want just so you look like a legit monk, but you'll never, ever use it. I got mine years ago and used shuriken from PoTime instead anyway because gently caress that cast time. If you want to diehard farm something for the monk, farm OMM for the 10% overhaste if you can't get AM3 from Tower or somewhere. Neither the Anguish robe nor the epic 1.0 are functionally useful at 100 outside of very rare edge cases I use my robe all the time for dispelling mobs as I bring them into camp.
