At some point, you got NPC damage and regen if you DC'd. So if you DC'd in an area with pathing mobs, you'd go ham on them until you actually dropped and come back to a nice chunk of exp.

blatman posted:I wish there was a takp thread so I could post this there but this seems inactive enough that it won't annoy anyone - I clawed my way up from the newbie dirt and made it to 19 on a shaman on takp, farming the spiderling ruins in field of bone to afford spells and some garbage gear, this is pretty much perfect for the sort of game I was after but if anyone has a poison wind censer i'll farm spiderling silks for you in exchange. I think if I can nab one of those I can just cruise to 40 farming hill giants along the way to buy one of those clicky nuke bracers then level off of everfrost giants or something (seafuries in oot maybe?) to pay for torpor which will let me farm guardian wurms in skyfire at 60, this kicks rear end and it's going to continue to kick rear end Torpor is a level 60 spell, sadly.

Personal opinion, oasis is the worst leveling zone in the game. It's good safe, so it's bad for new/relearning players. It has no money drops, so stay there too long and you won't have money for spells. It's exp modifier is wretchedly low. Chance of sand giant and spectre trains (which is a different kind of danger than, say, managing aggro radius and adds in unrest). The only upside is that it's close to guk, and if you get a group, you can convince them to go to guk scryer room or squire room or crypt. Where exp will be better, there's cash and time drops and just plain more fun.

Maybe if you have a friend on standby? If you're a class that can gate to the turn in guy, and you know wizard or druid that's willing to bind there with you, it's pretty fast. I made a fair amount of plat on blue selling scrolls to someone who was doing that.

Dizz posted:yeah meditate would help a bunch. SoW would help with running to guards if i lose fights. just a slow wait between each fight. If you can find 1-2 other people, you can go into the beginning of upper guk. I guess the ZEM is nerfed but it's probably better than innothule. I think there's a quest to get raw hide armor if you give some dude 4 fungus spores and then give the pie that guy gives you to another guy. Don't underestimate the power you get from crappy armor at low levels!!!! Kill those fungus man trackers! E: also, don't forget to start on the regent symbol of innoruuk quest at some point. It's the only way shaman get snare.

The first machine I played EverQuest on was a Pentium 1 233 Mhz with 32 MBs of ram with a 2 GB hard drive. Logging in took 30 minutes and the intro tune would finish before I was in game (it didn't loop). Zoning took between 10 and 30 minutes. I lived in South Karana for a long time.

It was pretty good getting twinked and buffed as an orc pawn in East Freeport tho.

FungiCap posted:The game would crash early on if you alt tabbed. The fact that it didn't crash with eq window really implies that it was a bug that they backsplained as being immersive or anti cheating. I always thought it was botched transfer of control of the GPU back the OS which caused the crashing. The cyber cafe I worked at from 99-2003 had all the windows keys ripped off the keyboards.

At 60, I'm pretty sure you can prox aggro solo pull them from inside a room. Yeah, they're a pain in the rear end, but you've got torpor, so  The howling stones comment is reasonable, and, actually, on a server with corpses it's probably a bad idea if you don't have a Necro to summon corpse just chilling.

Oh yah, I know these guys. On Aradune, I somehow managed to link up with some old Duke era Red99 heads and two of the guys developing this server were in the crew. Looks interesting, I might give it a try with a couple friends, but I feel like EQ PvP is mostly solved and if you aren't socking you're gonna have a bad time. Also, I've played a lot of MMOs, including Eve Online, and I don't think I've seen anything that challenges the depravity of Red 99 players.

Ruggan posted:Mostly solved in what sense? I’m curious what the optimal strats are. Guessing level trumps most everything else so solo-friendly / pet classes are probably very strong early game. There was a lot of implied expertise in my post, but it shouldn't be there. I've gained a lot of knowledge from playing with this crew, but don't have first hand experience. Cheese spots, different clickies that are necessary, items, abilities and spells that are not considered useful in PvE but highly useful in PvP (looking at you, Pumices, Cloudy Pots), Resists > all, gate always on bar, secret bind spots, etc. I think maybe some fresh server roll-up would be interesting as people probably forgot a lot of low level / low economy starts, but anyone new to EQ PvP is probably gonna be at a huge disadvantage compared to Red99 players or even Zek players.

PyRosflam posted:Bards are stupidly OP as they can fear kite almost anyone, Enchanters could charm players, blind spell makes you think your screen is broken and stops you from bagging your equipment. O ya and most people die to the SK HT till they put a cap of like 60%. Interestingly, bards are not going to be on this server iirc because the devs knew how OP they were. So, some comedy on the name "A Minstrel's Tear". E: I might be wrong about this but I was operating under this assumption. I think any class with early invis will be great.

Pillow Armadillo posted:That Minstrel's server that was mentioned upthread - is that gonna appear on the EQEmu list or is there a website to find out how to join? Supposed to start tomorrow I think it's EQEmu list. They have their own custom patcher/installer tho, no titanium required (links on discord). I couldn't remember my old EQEmu account pw and couldn't get a new account verified before I needed to do other stuff. But I watched a friend roll a human ranger (lol) and race to level 5 and Jack a couple level 1 druids meming their spells before he got destroyed by a pair of level 5 monks. Server is good (to watch).

Little RoZ trip report. I ended up rolling a human Necro of bertoxxulous for that sexy Qeynos start. I've made it to level 17 mostly soloing, but have 3 friends (9 pal, 13 rng, 16 enc) on the server as well and I've grouped some with them. For PvP, I've died twice. The first was from a low level warrior that the guards assisted over me, because hay! not many folks in Qeynos love the plague necromancer. The other time, a higher level enchanter got the drop on me with low health. I've gated out from two ambushes. I made 5 (!!!) people gate while I was farming in Qeynos Aqueducts. I had a close fight that I ended up gating in black burrow. Rogue caught me when I had just finished killing a yellow, and I lost my pet and didn't have the mana to get the last 30%> I've fought the same guy 3 times last night and driven him off each time, but unable to secure the kill due to low level mana constraints. Overall, I'm having fun, but right now the lack of resources to confirm a kill is a little frustrating. It's definitely a lot of PvE with some added danger. I think with another 5-10 levels, I'll probably start being more of a power house.

Ruggan posted:Wonder how a bone knight would fare in that environment, It's extremely loot constrained. No velious, kunark is not unlocked, and we are at day 4 with a level 30 cap until Thursday 8 AM. I think bone knight only works in places where you can easily get good proccing weapons, which I think are bottlenecked by platinum since most good bone knight weapons you couldn't get solo. Also, melees do a lot more damage than green/blue. Sitting always incurs a max hit, and arrows do double damage against stationary targets. Snare is pretty king, and Necro snare kind of sucks until dooming darkness. Finally, it's all about the joust, so 2h weapons seem to be better than faster 1h. So, idk about bone knight.

Wiz is just kind of a bad class outside raid targets imo. Actually, I'd probably go druid/enc/shm/nec and go for charm friendly areas, though that might not be as viable on p99 as live/tlp.

Meatgrinder posted:In that group configuration the bard provides travel speed, melee dps and tanking early on, pulling, CC and charm dps a little later on, mob debuffing / fear / aoe throughout and efficient downtime reduction from mid 30s onwards. There's really no "or" here, everyone in the group has some cc, travel/pull, manaregen, single target and aoe dps etc. The bard is key to changing it up to whatever the situation requires. This. Active bard players can do everything and the good ones can determine what the best thing to do is based on camp/group/needs/etc. Shaman and druid are kind of like this as well, necto too but less so.

You can swap to crushbone but it's not really great for money until you can kill Legos, slavers and the nameds. E: you can also start breaking into unrest at that level and make okay-ish money from poison reagent drops until you can get into MR/FP. Befallen is another option but it's generally an unpleasant dungeon to level in, with both runners, necros that dot, necros that fear and the occasional SK HT.

I never played past Kunark but if the end state is PoP I think everything is outclassed or neutered by then I believe the problem with mana stone is that it allows folks to bind near some raid target/zone, get TL'd to old world, mana stone, gate, coth and you're at full mana. Yeah, cumbersome, but it makes things like folks dying more trivial in later content that are marathon fights.

Groups of fire beetles ganging up on poor newbies; raid buffed orc pawns with ykeshas and hp jewelry. I'm surprised they even let it hit live.
