Played a good bit over the last few days, got my new druid up to level 9. Feels good. Haven't seen this many people live on a server since ... 1999, pretty much. This feels so right. Modern EQ1 servers are completely hosed with all the changes they made. Gonna be awhile before I can step foot in Velious but considering back in the day my highest characters were a 20 rogue and 20 enchanter, it won't be long until I'm already doing stuff I never got a chance to back in the day. Right now I'm just clearing good ole crushbone and turning in belts, anybody got any pro tips on fast leveling? There's something about the way everquest lets you just get lost in a big forest that makes it completely unlike any modern MMO, except maybe EVE. I missed this. It feels like proper Dungeons & Dragons while everything else (from WoW to FFXIV) is doing some crazy high-fantasy cartoon stuff that just doesn't scratch the same itch.

Siets posted:So I tried to look up pulling mechanics on the wiki but did not find very much. It's just a bunch of drab "a good monk can split rooms!" Well no poo poo Sherlock... how about you elaborate on how that works? Yes that's definitely true. All mobs have an agro radius and they also have a "call for help" radius, I'm not sure if its the same length. Their level versus your level has an effect on this too. So maybe slightly lower level mobs you're getting away with solo pulling but then higher level ones are calling for help? Not sure. Or maybe its just a matter of being sliiiightly too close together or slightly far enough apart? Ideally you'd be using a Druid spell like Harmony, or a Chanter or Bard spell to do the same (can't remember the names) which calms the enemies and lowers their agro radius and call for help radius, that way you can pull one at a time. (not the same as mez spells which CC so you can kill one at a time after you agro) Sneak lowers the agro radius and call for help radius too, but then if you pull the guy through another person's radius he'll call them anyways. So even if you make the radius smaller you still have to be careful because its not zero. You have to be real careful on the order you pull each mob in a room so they don't overlap each other. Since you can't see the radius its tricky. What you can do as a monk also is pull the whole room, then feign death, and then wait until half of them have made it back but half of them haven't yet, and then you get up from feign death. The ones who haven't gone back shouldn't reset their agro yet and will come back after you but the ones who made it back will reset and shouldn't. It can be tricky to time and I'm no monk player so I don't loving know what I'm talking about but I know monks do that poo poo all the time. Sorry I can't be more specific, somebody else can probably say the exact formulas or something. Zaphod42 fucked around with this message at 15:56 on Aug 6, 2015 |

Conskill posted:Dipped my toe in last night, the nostalgia is as awesome as predicted. My little Erudite Enchanter nearly got murdered by a snake before I remembered I couldn't rely on magic alone at early levels to kill poo poo. Enchanter and Magician were my favorite classes in vanilla EQ. Magician gets the coolest pets and is great for solo but Enchanter gets all the cool utility spells. Half of why I play EQ is just to wander around and see the sights so illusions are great for that. Plus doing things like turning into the Kelethin elevator buttons so newbies can't figure out how to get up, hahaha. (Does that count as griefing against 1999 rules or anything? Used to do the same thing with treeform and blocking off the Felwithe entrance)

Siets posted:Hear, hear! Last night on our new dark elf caster alts, my friend (enchanter) and I (wizard) ventured from Neriak all the way to Highhold Keep. At level 8, he already had invisibility and a number of transformation spells. We ran all the way across both Commonlands, found our way through Highpass to the keep, and then once inside he transformed into a human and made his way to the erudite NPC to buy his latest pet spell, followed by an easy gate home. The exp bar never moved the entire night, but I still had a lot of fun with the whole experience. You know I was just talking to a friend of mine about this. Its weird, everybody used to talk about what a massive grind EQ was (and oh poo poo, it totally is) and by comparison WoW has massively reduced how long it takes to reach max level and do raiding and stuff. But... WoW has streamlined everything to the point where its all pretty samey and boring. Grab quests, kill dudes, move here, kill dudes, go back and turn them in and move on. Its all so on-rails that you're just rushing to get it all done with as soon as possible. Its a chore. And as a result, even if it takes less time, it feels like a grind because you just want it over asap and you're rushing through. EQ on the other hand... its like the journey is more important than the destination. I've had a blast just running around zones exploring and getting lost, and camping crushbone with strangers and actually talking to them and forming a party and working together, holy poo poo, MMOs were supposed to be social games?! Who knew? Even though EQ is way more grindy... it doesn't feel as grindy. If that makes sense? Course I'm probably massively influenced by rose-colored goggles here, but then again all I can think of doing after work is logging in and looking for the same people I was camping with the last few days. Also the slower pace of EQ is pretty chill, good game for watching Netflix and smoking  while you play. I'm gonna laugh my rear end off at the republican debate tonight while I'm leveling.

 Got the bracers of power or whatever drop randomly in crushbone but accidentally sold it before I realized what I had because it looked exactly like a legionnaire's bracer. Couldn't buy it back. Then I got the earring drop for the quest, and the wiki said to turn it in to any male high elf slave. So I gave it to the elven priest who was male and high elf.... and nothing. I guess I should have known better, and looked for an "elven slave" instead of an elven priest who is a slave? Ugggh gently caress you everquest

lemonslol posted:I would spend 15 dollars on this server if it meant an increase in fun. Sometimes I think i'd be better off paying for a sub and playing on a progression server instead. Its tough, there's no goldilocks server for me. 1999 is a little too cold but everything else is way way way too hot. 1999 is the closest to warm but its a little too far, when it comes to things like spell timers I mean comeon. But then all other private servers are 100x exp rate and everybody spawns in the same zone. Progression servers are better but still have a lot of things that are just a little too much for me, like having teleporters at the docks. No joke I actually checked p1999's website to see if I could toss them a :tenbux: donation to get an xp boost or something, but no dice. On the bright side I just heard they actually got the okay from the current EQ licence holders to run 1999 legally as a non-commercial fan project, so its good to know there's no legal chance of being shut down ( like so many other sweet fan projects ) but that kinda guarantees that they can't take any kind of payment and they have to be pretty strongly against RMT. I think RMT itself is kinda dumb though. I wouldn't mind paying p99 to help them maintain their servers but paying some random internet dude is just not my thing. Oh well, I'm kinda enjoying the brutality of it all. I've long wanted a dark souls MMO and in some ways EQ is actually the closest we've probably come. Drop everything where you die and have to get there to get it back, permanent losses, easy to get murdered, etc. The combat just doesn't compare, but yeah.

lemonslol posted:That's the reason I came back to p99. The new servers don't do it for me, I needed something in between. I didn't like everyone boxing armies of mages, I didn't like EXP pots in the store, I did like having maps, and being able to accomplish things in 1 hour intervals, global chat channels so I don't feel alone, and that everyone was starting all together. I decided on p99 though because I figured since they split the two servers one of them will inevitably die, and I didn't want to be on the dead one. It seems like every time eq1 does a progression server they do great for the first 6 months, and then after PoP everyone that is left is the same 4 guilds pushing the server to current. Yeah, people boxing armies of mages is a huge turn-off for me, and I like that p99 is against boxing. I'm too lazy to bother so I don't want everybody else having a leg up on me  I know that's kinda selfish but... welp.Yeah that's also a problem with progression servers, it'd have to progress slowly. You get in early with vanilla and you're there for most of it and have a great time, but then as more and more expansions drop the player base dies out and moves to the other progression server when it restarts. Its funny, if you look at the live EQ server populations, the two progression servers are maxed round the clock but pretty much every other server is completely dead. The guys who hold the license should be looking into how to step back some of the changes made to the game, although I'm not sure if doing custom development is even something feasible for them or if they're just one of those companies that hosts the servers and collects the checks. They just dropped a new xpac not too long ago though right? I'd say definitely roll Shaman or Enchanter. Fuuuuck playing a warrior, dude, no way in hell. You'll hate yourself. Only roll a warrior if you already have a max level char and have no life.

So being a 16 druid I'm looking at the Testament of Vanear quest. I just went to Highpass Hold and found the secret area with all the smugglers (didn't know about this before, even though I've been through highpass many times, very cool) Although now I'm realizing the guy (Dyllin Starsine) is a 6-8 hour rare spawn with no placeholder.  Wow, I haven't had to camp a real time rare spawn mob since FFXI's NMs. On the one hand that's kinda exciting but on the other hand  With blue being pretty popular and this being a pretty popular quest, what are the odds of me ever actually seeing this guy and getting a shot at it? Should I just give up and buy the item instead? I'd much rather earn the quest myself, but if its going to take me weeks of camping then gently caress it. On the other hand while its a popular item its also kinda lower level and most people are probably wearing raid gear and velious poo poo instead now? I dunno if I should bother or not. Probably want to grab a few more levels first to make it easier to kill him at any rate, but I'm just not sure how to go about this. I mean if I log in and see somebody kill him then I can go "okay check back 6 hours from now" but if I log in and just never see him, do I really have to camp for up to 6 hours to hopefully see this guy? Its been forever since I've done this kinda camping so I'm not sure what the reality of it looks like. I know raids have a rotation but that doesn't apply to rare mobs right?

Bybus Slago posted:Odds are decent you'll find him. A friend of mine whose a bit of an alt-aholic has gotten several testaments. He'd just check on the camp if he was passing through that area, and found Dylin chilling there a surprising number of times with no one around. I don't imagine most people would snipe him if there was a lower level druid sitting there. Cool, good to know. I won't camp him 24/7 or anything but yeah, I'll check in from time to time. Probably try to push to 19 first actually, then I can just tele over when I feel like it, and it'll make soloing him way easier if some smugglers agro.

Hey, I got some questions that you guys may or may not know the answers to, On 1999 (blue) did they ever change the class XP penalties? I heard a lot of talk about it being something that might happen at Velious or post-Velious but I haven't seen anything very concrete on the issue, so I assume that means they're still active and SK and Paladin are still pretty rough to level? I'm gonna stick with Druid anyways, but I'm curious. Also there's lots of items on the wiki that are greyed out and have notes about how they were added in Velious or post-Velious, are those in-game probably or not? Like the druid spell to teleport to surefall glade, is that in-game on 1999 or no? Also general EQ question, what exactly does succor do? Like its an evacuate spell for getting away quickly, right? So is it just a faster teleport? Most of the succor / egress spells have a specific zone, does it mean it teleports you to that zone quickly or does it mean only if you're in that zone that you can cast it to get to a safe spot? Then later on I think Wizard gets a simple 'succor' spell, does that work for any zone? Seems awfully limited to only have succor for a few specific zones. Like druid gets Succor: Butcher at 34. Are you ever going to be leveling in BB where you need to evac once you're 34+? Or can you cast it from anywhere, just making it a faster teleport spell? Hexel posted:I'll be around all day chillin in the tunnel. I dont mind tossing out 500p for a transfer since its kind of a hassle, I need to move 6 bags of gear and a pile of plat from my shaman and enchanter to my monk. My drat alt-itis burnt me out and I wanna delete those guys and just have my monk Yeah man hit me up, I'm happy to do grunt work for some spare plat here and there. I'm at work ATM but I'll be on for sure after I get off and probably a good bit this weekend.I was a really bad alt-aholic on live back in the day (I leveled literally every class to at least 10 but I never got much higher than like 25) so I'm trying to stick with one character on 1999 for the most part

Why do illusion spells break when you zone? Its definitely intentional design since normal buffs carry through zones. Is there some way you could exploit that or something? I just remember in vanilla being screwed when my dark elf enchanter zoned through freeport and got caught by a guard with my illusion down. Right now I'm playing a good character so its no big deal, but I'm curious why it was deemed necessary in the first place.

Sweet! Hit 20, died and de-leveled, dinged back to 20, and on my way through Highpass I checked for Dyllin Starsine for the Testament of Valenar quest. I haven't seen him pop yet but hey, there he was! He conned blue but there were some red con patrolling smugglers so I asked a local bard who was high level to help out, she ran over but I killed Dyllin so fast I managed to get out before any smugglers agro'd so I guess I could have soloed it after all. Good deal, on my way to Queynos now to turn this in and grab the book.

On the one hand it'd be nice if you got locked in once you hit the cap but on the other hand I guess people could be pretty careless then, its nice having videogames where death actually has an impact and makes you really dread bad things happening to your character.

Worst feeling in everquest: Logging in to your character at their bind point, naked, with no idea how you died or where.  Luckily that wasn't my situation, I just didn't know exactly how I died, but I could guess. And I knew where. Whoops. Was grinding out 24 last night with a group in lake of ill omen, got it down to one yellow bubble and although I was feeling kinda tired (and a little drunk) I decided I could probably ding in less than an hour and I should just stick it out. Woke up passed out on top of my bed about an hour later, look over and my character is naked. Welp. Ran back to corpse and managed to loot it without issue using invis and logged off. No biggie. Checking the chat log it looks like some high level dude trained a bunch of mobs through our area after I nodded off? Everquest. Anyways I'm just a bit from 24, I'll def get it tonight. Then new spells, and just 5 levels to go before I can ferry guild mates around. (And teleport strangers for mad cash)

Hey uh... some more dumb newbie questions that I'm having trouble getting answered through google or the wiki If an item has a proc, I guess that has a level requirement and there's no way to see what level it requires in-game? If an item has an effect, that's something you trigger, it doesn't proc on its own right? Do you just right click on the item in your inventory? Or drag it to your hotbar and press the button? either? If the item has an effect an it says "any slot", does that mean any equipped slot or any slot period? Can you use it from inside a bag? Stuff like leatherfoot raider skullcap. Only halflings can equip, so does that mean only halflings can use the teleport? Not that I need it personally, just curious. Then again potions say "any slot" so does that mean you can use them from in a bag? I guess that's the difference between "any slot" and "any slot / can equip" ? Does "combat" effect slot mean it has to be equipped as primary or secondary, or that it has to be used during combat, or that it procs during combat, or what? Thanks much.

I had kinda figured most of this like the stuff I asked about before but with EQ its all clear as mud in-game, so its good to get a confident answer. Are tradeskills worth the investment on 1999? Looking at most of them it'd cost a good bit to level up, and then you can't even make much that's good with it. Like why would you waste time leveling tailoring just to make some +AC gear when people already know where all the best stuff is that gives you good stats and how to farm it? There's a few odd items that seem useful, but for the most part it seems not worth bothering with. Or am I missing something? I guess jewelcrafting seems useful, but the other ones not so much.

Welp. drat Everquest. Got to 24 and got wolf form, had fun running around in wolf form. Everybody seemed pretty chill to me, even guards that used to con ready to attack like the Ogok guards chill out when I'm in wolf form and let me not only pass but even buy and sell from vendors. So I get pretty comfortable with wolf form, I'm over in kunark and I head to Firiona Vie and An explorer hits you for <damage> An explorer starts casting a spell An explorer hits you for <damage> An explorer hits you for <damage> What the gently caress? So everywhere else wolf form is safe but in Firiona Vie of all places the NPCs are KOS to wolf form? Is that how it was in classic? Feels just a little unfair. Even the guards seemed fine with it but the explorers freak the gently caress out. And sure enough when wolf form isn't active the explorers all con warmly.I mean I guess it makes sense that some explorers see a wolf in the city and beat him up, but considering all the other towns in Norrath seem to be chill with dogs running wild, that's a bit of a surprise. Or was that a bug? I'm pretty sure I didn't hit autoattack or anything like that. I guess I could put wolf form back on and go con the explorers but I don't want to take the risk. Anarch posted:No, and yes. In classic, most trade skills are fairly expensive to raise with limited payoff. Also note that given the lifespan of the server all trade skills are essentially covered. Yeah Alchemy and Jewelcraft definitely seem worth it. I'm a Druid though so I was looking at Tailoring but it seriously seems like the only things worth making are backpacks. The armor is pretty much entirely all worse than the gear I've already got. In fact, other than Wu's its all just +AC which seems really pointless with the flowing economy of 1999. Wu's set has some stats but still not great, and monk only! The only exception is the Tunare's set, which requires over 200 skill and barely gives a couple points of WIS and CHA, and also requires blacksmithing components. Not nearly worth the investment. I'll just take advantage of other people who have tailoring if I need it.

Just shy of level 26 So the wiki has a whole lot of information in the mechanics section about how much XP you need per level and where the hell levels are and whatnot, and how much xp each party member gets based on their level and race/class modifiers and stuff, that all makes sense. But one thing I've never seen explained which isn't clear from the game (because its all just relative bars moving) is the exp you get per kill based on what the monster cons to you, or based on the level of the monster, or what? Like lets say it takes 3x as much xp to get from 55 to 56 as from 50 to 51 or whatever. Does that really mean it takes 3x as long, or does that mean that mobs at level 55 are giving out more exp? Or both? (As long as the ratio wasn't equal you could have different fractions) E: Looks like there is a tiny section about mob exp on the game mechanics wiki, so it is based on both con AND level, but con only matters as far as dark blue or up? So the only reason you get more exp from a red mob than a dark blue is because its slightly higher level? But light blue and green inherently give less than they otherwise would? Makes sense.

I found a great group at the sarnak fort in lake of ill omen and let it ride, got just shy of 3 levels. I'm real close to 29 and new spells including my first group teleports but I've been playing for hours and need a break. I'll grind out those last couple bubbles tomorrow morning.
