You need track/MQ to find Hunter/Forager lololol?
(I'd assume you meant MQ, not WinEQ?)

P99 raiding isn't quite that fun as you make it out to be (imo); you're either hardcore as all hell or you're nothing. I used to do hours and hours of plane trips prior to kunark every week, but gdi it got stale with constant drama at the inavoidable appearance of a_rival_guild011 and the horrible repetition of the increasingly tedious trash-clears/poopsock. Not even gonna touch the subject of having to wake up at 3am for a text message and have comp on standby to log in in a minute to rush tyo slay some sodding dragon for some rogues +3str on wrist slot.

Iunno, I just find the grief caused on p99 to be alot more impactful than here. Worst on EZ if someone's being a douche is that I wait max 30mins fore repop or go back to bind point. Worst on p99 is you spent 12h camping crap to have it KSed or lost days worth exp since a random passing monk didn't like your guildtag. I can count the real crappy experiences here on pretty much one hand, there I can't even count all of the more vexing occasions.

Random enough venting!

Buhbye man, protip for p99: don't go look into their forums.

Meh, I wasn't really into boxing at all at first but after starting it, it's kind of fun. Playing just one toon is actually kind of boring when trying to do that now.

WAR/PAL is a pretty solid duo to go with, throw in a 2nd pally or a cleric if you're having unnecessarly trouble (Altho imo cleric isn't really that necessary until the very top-end... Two pallys will still carry you through pretty much everything pre-T4), and once you've gone to some point you can use those to gear up any of your alts. I'd suggest some dps classes in there, say mage/BL/necro since the pets are easy-to-get and decent dps.

Well it's gone from server list again so meh. =p
Seems like plenty of other servers are now, too. Only p99 and hidden forest are left on legends list. Hope not another basement dwellers rage trip.

EDIT:
And it's back again. Quickly quickly quickly before the doors shut!

Well I kinda remember the icestrike/FS dmg on the earlier ranks was adjusted to make some sense for the pre-T3 people, so the ranks 1-3 aren't just stepping stones making the way to the final ranks (same with ninjastrikes), so I fail to see the purpose of the augs being solely for the mountains of HP that await in airplane and beyond.

Point moreso is just that the icestrikes had various odd classes added to the list of classes that can use them, but there's hardly any point in throwing it to any of them (granted, I recall Hunter saying this was just done for the luls or something, will try to look up the news post later), since you're better off tossing em on monk/rng/rog/BL/youchooseit and sorc41ing those than wasting time on getting em on a toon that wields only a primary wep and does a single swing per round with nothing more than a flux staff as a proc dmg mod (and no one's going to be UCing their druids, hush now before you even think of posting that!).

Granted, there's probably a rather narrow line to walk on that'd again completely make classX or classY absurdly OP and repeat paladin-class-problem of yesteryear, so... meh. Guess I just get sorta peeved looking at the alts epics that have no other augs than mossy stones on em. =p

Topic subject rly. CLR/SHM/DRU being "priest classes" for those who started EQ yesterday. =p

Could get it only if you join FG or something!

(PS. Weapon Affinity AA would be legit too! ;o)

----merged 2 posts since the reply inbetween is gone-----

Figured since the classes are included in icestrike users, and the melee dmg is miniscule as is. Unless there's something I don't know about T5, no one rly plays them dru/shm anyway for other than buff purposes.

Aaaaaand there's a bit of a diff I'd say in a clr getting an extra swing for that glorious 300dmg and a zerker running with a necro pet, but I totally utterly get yar point all right yeah.

Using the char mover it tends to send my toons to their bind point (neriakc mostly) instead of Nexus. Anyone else having this? It tends to say after using the mover that char is in The Nexus (on chara select), but once I enter the game I'll enter my bind point zone again.

Dear people who want to buy stuff at /auction...

"pst w/o" equals "please send tells with offer".

Not "please send inquiries wether there are offers or not".

I don't see what's so difficult to understand about this one - you just send an offer which seems reasonable to you. Depending on the circumstances, there may be an additional auction regarding the highest offer so far, or might tell you what someone else offered, or might just tell you it's gone since I took the first decent offer due to being too lazy to bother with any further auctioning nonsense, et cetera.

But GDI I cannot be bothered replying the "any offers?"-tells. Just a make a sodding offer, that's what was requested in the auction. I don't know if you just want to be a meek guy and know wether there were bids or if it's still up for grabs, or if you just hope to find out that there are no offers coming so you can make the smallest offer possible to grab what would otherwisely rot (which most likely won't happen, since I ain't running out of a GI to invite your ass for pocket change). I don't care one way or the other. The "any offers?"-thing is becoming way too much of a pet peeve for me.

Rant over. If I come off as a colossal douche here, then good. Since that's my impression of the chaps who send the aforementioned tells.

Hunter would it be possible to decrease the time for the npc's to respawn after killing, perhaps put them on a 30 minute respawn?

I think they are on an hour timer and if someone is doing the quest you have no way of knowing when the npc will respawn again unless you sit and wait in the zone for a repop. Or go to the next boss only to find it is down as well and so on and so forth. It's already an enormus time sink just to do the quest with full pop's

Also can you make the instance cost on par with LDoN?

You could just send a tell to the other guy and suggest that you team up, since a raid force will all get the reward. Only problem is, you'll get no benefits if you do the full run faster than 1h, since you'll end up waiting for repops.

Personally fancying the idea of adding a chance of the mobs dropping complete rank1 scepter with like a 5% chance or something; it'd make it slightly faster for one of your toons, and break the monotony a bit when you get the sparkle of joy in seeing one on the loot table. =p

I think the rank 3 at 1500 hp/mana beats the qvic item, that's only 4 runs.
Complete the quest 8 times and you have Rank 4, bring your whole guild and run it together and they are all golden as well at least with a far better range item then what they currently have. Make 8 more runs and your at Rank 5 4700 hp/mana not a bad reward for halfway completing the quest. The 2nd half of the quest will probably drive you nuts since you will not get a reward for your efforts for a long time.

Er, the rewards are kind of adjusted clearly so that around later ranks it actually starts closing moreso on the stats of the final reward. Rank5 is 3% done, I wouldn't call that the "halfway". =p

Pie.

Fail poll, most rational people will find that being run over by a truck or being set on fire is more pleasant than gnomes. Ofc cookies/pie/cake/donuts win!

It'd pretty much make it alot less painful if the quest guy would allow you to port to the correct zone, skipping the painful trips through neriaka/b, qeynos, erudnext, kaladima, freporte (or ecommons if you prefer that route, wouldn't know why since it's longer!). Perhaps the quest guy could request you to hand him the first rank1 you manage to make, he'd then return it (or eat it, whatever, 513 is hardly a difference from 512 =p) and you'd get a flag from then on, so he can port you directly into the zones.

Most annoying problem I have run into is the Halas encounter. Last night I think my group was grav fluxed every 10 seconds. I tried to fight her in the water and I still get tossed around alot and swimming back to her is worse than on land running though the buildings to get back to her.

Protip: oldschool Cazic Thule / Innoruuk fights - grav flux was countered easily with Levitation spells. The spell doesn't work in HoH so you might not think of it instantly, but yeah, you can cast it at halas and just push your butts into a corner somewhere and pretty much ignore the grav flux after that.

I use a gnome illusion where i run in to faction problems or I'll use my bard to sneak past the angry guards.

HAVE YOU NO SHAME?!!

What would be worth farming ToV for RoA instead of doing the Crafter Guild armor?

Nostalgia, or did it before Crafter's Guild was added. =X

And I think AoW died just yesterday, forgot what time tho.

Done a ton of ToV clears for RoA, so yeah, can tell that Vulak will be immediately up in the guild instance. Also, the Doze-tear-quests in west wing work too - just needed very high faction for em. =p

Do you also have all setting turned down in game? Options, display tab, particles on spell, env, and player? I loaded up my TiT client and looked at it. No particle effects for weapons and my eqclient looks the same.

Yuppers. Double checked file too. =<

It is already a clicky on the Moonstone Scepter that drops in Qvic quite commonly.

...And saves some of us from the tediousity of swapping between Crafter Scepter and Symbol of the Overlord to recast whenever the buff fades. =p

Is a convenience matter. Yeah, lots of folks got Moonstone Scepter on range permanently. Others don't!

Helm clicky is kind of rubbish also tho. It doesn't stack with arm clicky, either.
