I more just posted that info to help him legitimately play P99 with his friends over LAN and hopefully avoid most of the stress and hassle that comes from the GM policing. At the end of the day, even if you are not actually boxing you could still end up losing everything in the blink of an eye because of a GM's judgment call. I completely respect the double-edged sword and gray area that policing boxing is. For P99 to be what it is, it's necessary. That said, it is terrifying when a GM actually does show up and says "you are about to have your entire account permanently deleted unless you and your friends can perfectly dance in unison for me."

^^^ Let's get a fungi crew going!! Fungis for all!! The Red is extremely lowbie toxic in the popular lowbie zones. Back when I played Red a year ago, there was some megatwink rogue that had fungi and rogue epic constantly murdering folks in Crushbone at all hours of every day. Same deal in Blackburrow. If the idea of leveling off the beaten path appeals to you and your friends then I would say Red is worth a go, but if you just wanted to relive Crushbone/Blackburrow/Commonlands for nostalgia then I would definitely stick to Blue.

I got a group invite in KC on my necro seconds after posting the following to /ooc: "54 necro lfg. I have the best undead nukes. They really are the best. They're just great." To which a group responded with "Make KC Great Again" and tossed me an invite. I guess what I'm trying to say is the secret to not wasting time finding groups is Donald Trump memes.

 My undead-slaying gimmick paladin is go! Planning to do the following pure-undead leveling route: GFay -> Crushbone -> Unrest -> Mistmoore -> Kaesora -> City of Mist -> Karnor's Castle. I'm rocking Ghoulbane and a shitload of DEX and STR. Yes, that is a full set of cultural Mystic Koada`Dal armor. Yes, I am aware the CHA on the armor is basically a wasted stat for paladin. No, I don't actually care, I just want all of the Ghoulbane procs.

After practicing on the orcs, it is time to get down to business. I have arrived. Tales of a ghost haunting the mansion of Unrest have me eager to purge its undead inhabitants within. But first... the beetles. So many beetles!   It is clear at this early stage in my journey that I cannot yet handle the legions of undead on my own. Though I disapprove of their lawless ways, the rogues do have their uses.

Athropos posted:I was actually in Unrest earlier today on my troll Sk twink but as usual the place is way too packed and I went back to Oasis and Upper Guk. Unrest has issues with powerlevelers pulling everything, fungi twinks claiming main room, incompetent fireplace groups training the lower levels, and yard trash being terrible exp in a group at around level 15+. I love the look and lore of the place but it's incredibly overrated. They have a policy against zone disruption, which I feel you would have grounds for in a smaller zone like Unrest if powerleveling druids were being obnoxious. As for the terrible pullers and trains, for me, that's part of the charm of the place.

I don't think I grouped with my necro until low 50's when I started doing Karnor's Castle. Groups are actually fun and necros are also good in groups due to how many roles they can (surprisingly) fill, so don't do what I did. You absolutely can if you want to though.

Elijah. posted:Is this worth checking out as someone that never played EQ back in the day? EQ has that very ultra classic "80's fantasy novel cover art" look and feel that I don't think you can find anywhere else. It could also be interesting from the perspective of simply wanting to see how the MMO genre grew into what it is now. You'll see things in EQ that feel very much like pen and paper RPG mechanics that were forced into the game simply because that's just how you did things in the RPG genre back then. EQ also has a unique design niche of having items that actually do highly significant things beyond just increasing your stats. The game really gives you that feeling of "Frodo just found Sting" and you get really attached to the first major pieces of gear that you acquire for your character. If you're the kind of person that can overlook mechanical cruft and a lack of modern quality of life features in favor of a purely nostalgic, immersive, and social experience, only then would I really recommend EQ to anybody.

Iksar can fairly easily (with a bit of grinding at least) gain reputation with (most) of the dark elves in Neriak allowing you to bank there and invis past the evil cleric faction when you need to access other vendors in the city.

si posted:Is this the 'Red Wine' quest deal? I have tried to read up a bit on this. That's the one. Control + Left Click is going to be your friend for single-selecting wine from the stacks you purchase in order to do the turn-in properly. I believe there is also a similar turn-in quest that gets you halfling faction for a second home away from home.

https://wiki.project1999.com/Bottle_of_Red_Wine That’s the quest and I believe the NPC is only on the Dark Bargainers faction. Since that is a merchant faction, he should be apprehensive at first and no worse. The turn-in gives more DB faction along with Dreadguard Outer and Dreadguard Inner faction which is what all the city guards are on. The wiki entry states that you will need to only do between 150-400 turn-ins, which goes by pretty quick using control + left click and placing bag windows next to the turn-in window. Maybe five minutes of actual clicking work and only a couple plat in red wine is my estimate. Well worth it. Do keep in mind that you still need to be wary of the dark elf cleric faction NPCs that are somewhat scattered in various places throughout the three Neriak zones. You can just invis past them. I’m not sure if there is a way to gain faction with them. There are also a few undead in select locations that will aggro on you unless you put up invis to undead. edit: I actually had to do many thousands of turn-ins because I farmed some dark elf guards in my twenties before I knew about the red wine quest. Don’t repeat my mistake!

si posted:Ah, I was using https://wiki.project1999.com/An_Iksar's_Guide_To_Love_and_Friendship_Through_Murder#Neriak Oh wow, that cleric turn-in looks super easy. I don't know why I never bothered to check into it. A quick glance at the faction penalties that are given does not appear to be anything that would jeopardize your character's progression. None of the NPCs I recognized at least as having any sort of significance. The cleric faction turn-in makes another good point, which is that you can sometimes utilize your skeleton mana form to slightly alter your faction to various NPCs. On occasion, it gives you just enough of a bump that it allows you to interact with merchants or NPCs that would otherwise scowl at you and refuse service. Always worth checking. Do you know about the banking line-of-sight trick as well? Just in case you don't: as long as you can right click a pixel of the banker's model, they will bank with you regardless of faction IF you are not line-of sight to them. Basically, hide behind the edge of a wall, zoom out to third person and pan your camera until you can make out the banker's elbow. Then just right click the banker and, voila, you can now bank anywhere that you can invis to that does not have any guards stationed right by the bankers themselves. I used this to great effect to bank in Felwithe, despite the fact that I had been ruthlessly murdering their guards for platinum and exp throughout my entire early 50's.

si posted:Looks like the first spell with a skeleton form is around 34 though, and research, so maybe not hugely relevant for now. The banker trick is good to know, I didn't know that one - I assume if I mess up and end up in LOS they will murder me though. I would certainly not mind logging in and helping you acquire the big necro research spells. They are a pain to gather mats for, although you can "usually" find a seller in EC tunnel who has them. While not rich myself, I have plenty of plat where I could just get you the spells for free. I also maxed out leveling up my research skill and may even have the mats in my research bank bags still. Just post on here when you hit 34 or whatever and I can meet up with you in-game. Always happy to help out fellow lizardmen.

Not to be an enabler here buuut... If you roll something like a wizard or necro that can solo, you can just kill - med - kill - kill - med - etc while feeding the baby! Save grouping for when kiddo is asleep for the evening. I have been contemplating these things myself as we are about to have our own in six or so months.

For real, I'd probably come back if a bunch of inactive goons all came back to start gimmick alts together or something. Solo EQ is just something you can only keep up for so long, and none of the existing P99 guilds/communities ever really grabbed me. Honestly EQ really is an MMO that offers a solid leveling experience, as opposed to the modern "moan and grunt through leveling until you reach endgame raiding which is the ~real~ game." I know a lot of people really want those pixels, but man... the most fun I honestly had with this game was leveling with goons in Unknown Guild back in 2013. EQ is a game where I can level to the 55-60 range, stop, and be wholly satisfied with my experience. This is all from the perspective of a more casual oriented player though, so I know it's less likely to be a shared view on the game as a whole. I also just haven't really played much ultra endgame EQ, so I could actually be missing out on the experience of getting your character's epic, kitting out in full raid gear, etc. and all that jazz. v v

Don’t forget to put Sense Heading on a hotkey button and then also bind “Walk Forward” to that button. That way you autolevel Sense Heading. For UI, I think it has some alternate options/skins baked into the client itself. At least mine came with DuxaUI which I quite like. I can post a screenshot of it when I’m home.

Here's my UI for some inspiration: You can check and see if you have DuxaUI by just clicking the EQ logo button, Options, then on the General tab there's a Load UI Skin button that will bring up a list of installed skin options for your UI. You really do get used to it after awhile!
