Title: Been gone for over a year! Post by: barrettd04 on November 03, 2013, 04:02:35 pm Sup dudes and dudettes, I've been gone for a year and a half and pretty much forget everything ever, so what threads should I read first? All my chars are T3/4 and 4.0'd. I think T6 was getting ready to come out when I left, so whenever that was. Halp!
Title: Re: Been gone for over a year! Post by: cerwin on November 03, 2013, 04:12:55 pm Same boat here. There was no way I was putting up with T5, so Im wondering if theres any alternative yet.

If you didn't want to experience T5 You won't like anything past that. Title: Re: Been gone for over a year! Post by: Eruditeone on November 03, 2013, 08:33:36 pm ??? I like T6 and T7, I completely and utterly despise T5...
Title: Re: Been gone for over a year! Post by: Tankdan on November 03, 2013, 10:08:04 pm T5 and T6 are pretty fun so you should have a good time coming back, UCs are 5x easier to get so that helps.
Title: Re: Been gone for over a year! Post by: Danish on November 04, 2013, 05:39:15 am T5 can go fly a kite - still the biggest speedbump on the server if you ask me.
Stuff passed that, is much like the first 4 tiers, and nothing like the 5th :-) I'm not sure that reward items were so easy to obtain when you last played, but getting the group summon item in T5 is a pretty big help. Have fun, and WB! Title: Re: Been gone for over a year! Post by: Brokyn on November 04, 2013, 06:38:39 am Other than the obvious issues some people had with water, I thought T5 was the best effort that Hunter has made for EZ. It was a challenge. It required patience, and a community effort to figure out what spawned what. It also took long enough for players to get fully geared to allow Hunter enough time to work on other things.
If killing lots of different things to find the items you want is not your thing, then I'd suggest something other than a game based on EQ... Title: Re: Been gone for over a year! Post by: barrettd04 on November 04, 2013, 08:53:26 am Someone mentioned UC being easier? How so? I quit amidst UCing my first char. increased drop rates perhaps?
Title: Re: Been gone for over a year! Post by: clbreastmilk on November 04, 2013, 09:22:12 am Tower of Frozen Shadow has increased drop rates for charms. Floor 2 is especially good for v1 charms. I hear floor 5 is great for V2 charms. Charm rate drops for LDoN was greatly increased but spawns were chained. HoH is about the same but with higher tiers and UW, can be farmed faster.
Title: Re: Been gone for over a year! Post by: Dinadas on November 04, 2013, 09:25:01 am I farmed ldon 6 for my first rank 25's, it is quite easy with chained mobs and the rate is ok.
HoH might have the same droprate, but increased cash and I think in general easier. Title: Re: Been gone for over a year! Post by: barrettd04 on November 04, 2013, 09:44:22 am What do you mean the mobs are chained?
Title: Re: Been gone for over a year! Post by: Dinadas on November 04, 2013, 10:11:03 am Rooted. If you run past they reset. Can only kill 1-3 at a time depending on placement, which makes it easier for new people. And since you can't train he upped the droprate considerably.

Killing lots of different things is not the issue. Killing underwater is. Title: Re: Been gone for over a year! Post by: Dinadas on November 04, 2013, 10:31:22 am Underwater is annoying but gets less so over time.
Now that I can kill in t5 at a reasonable rate it doesn't seem as daunting. 23 bosses to go! Title: Re: Been gone for over a year! Post by: Peign on November 04, 2013, 01:53:03 pm T5 does seem to get easier each time you go back. It is a good way to meet people as well, many folks team up to do T5. I've teamed up with a bunch of different players doing T5.
Title: Re: Been gone for over a year! Post by: Anuli on November 04, 2013, 04:01:04 pm You guys and your instant gratification. T5 definitely had a considerable amount of thought and time behind it's development. The first time i did T5 I loved it, and yes it gets easier each time you go back. There are detailed lists now about what drops what and it's decently straight forward. Killing isn't that big of a deal in the water. If you don't like to, pull everything to the banks and leave your alts up there. T5 is my favorite zone T6 down. You should enjoy yourself instead of thinking "why the F am I not getting Crash/ another necklace! Rabble rabble".
Title: Re: Been gone for over a year! Post by: Danish on November 04, 2013, 04:30:19 pm You guys and your instant gratification. Yeah, getting shit done yourself, reaping the fruit of ones own labour - is what its all about. Not the quick and easy fix. However, T5 still sucks, and I will probably always hate it. Between horrible RNG I was blessed with in there and the wonderful EverQuest waterworks, it can just go throw itself off a cliff. I would like to note though, that I think it's an extremely well thought out zone/tier. And the challenge and victorious feeling of finishing it and hailing for the book was awesome. Probably the closest I'll ever come to the geniuine expeience of EQ back in the day. So get to work! Title: Re: Been gone for over a year! Post by: Tankdan on November 05, 2013, 02:36:46 am Someone mentioned UC being easier? How so? I quit amidst UCing my first char. increased drop rates perhaps? Tower of Frozen Shadows 2nd floor drops rank 1s by the dozens per hour, so you can get a ton of rank 25s done quickly. Then just head over to HoH and farm up your v2s, since you probably wont be powerful enough to go to much higher levels in TOFS to farm v2s at a reasonable rate. So this means LDON is no longer needed and is no longer viable. Title: Re: Been gone for over a year! Post by: WatchYouDie on November 05, 2013, 06:46:47 am t5 is fairly easy if you pull out of water ... think of it as fishing for mobs. corals on the other hand Group Coh item makes them a lot easier
Title: Re: Been gone for over a year! Post by: Anuli on November 05, 2013, 09:27:52 am To make it easier, go get a rank 1 fishing rod (scepter of time) and use that to pull them out without getting wet (:
