Thanks, found it.

I've been trying to make some strike augs, and it says "You cannot combine these items in this container type!" I've triple checked the recipe, and tried different characters, and still no luck. Did something change or am I just daft?

This should be easy, but I can't figure it out: Adding augments to an item.

Apparently I need to open the item's description and then pick up an augment and put it in an augment slot. But I can't see an augment slot in the item's description window.

I am using the Underfoot client. Any ideas?

Thanks for the responses.

What is malo and how do I get it?

And if you'll pardon a noob question: What is vt2?

I haven't played on EZ in a few years, and I'm back. I'd like to start a bard just for fun.

Are there bard songs that are more effective on EZ and some that are less effective? Should I even be twisting songs? How should the EZ bard be used?

Hmm, well, that explains it. Thanks.

Anyone know how often it checks to make adjustments?

Are there other good places to PL a char from 47 to 70? Or is pofire still the best?

It's been 5 years since I played here. I have a pally with an epic 3.0 (whatever that means these days). I went to pofire the other day and pulled like 20 mobs and tanked them just fine. In fact, they could hardly touch me. PLed a cleric from 60 to 70 in a few minutes.

Then I went there today and 1 monster killed me. What gives? I'm not complaining, I'm just trying to understand.

Yeah I think that was it...or at least related. I hadn't scribed my spells yet, and once I did it the problem has not reappeared. Thank you for the help.

I haven't played in 5 years. It's nice to be back.

This one character of mine get stuck and cannot move. It's like she's rooted. She's not overweight. Someone in ooc suggested using the Newbie Charm port, and that worked...once. The next time I got stuck it did not work.

Any ideas?

love ya Crack

Crack, you're awesome, I happen to know you on the server. But everything I said is true, and I said it not just for his benefit. EZ has got a lot of eccentricities, and it will be helpful for anyone who reads the post (so the post ain't dead, unless I should have posted elsewhere, but meh...such is the nature of forums, very difficult to navigate and find genuinely helpful info in a timely manner.)

Furthermore, Cracken, you're one of the ones I was inferring to that give people a hard time (just look at your first post in the thread--mind you, I really do know ya, and you really are a great guy, no sarcasm), seems you've got a tough love attitude about ya (because although callous in your first post you went all out in helping the fella). Handing people epics and pod flags is not the only/best solution. I know you well enough that likely I could have asked you and you would have handed me the same. But I find satisfaction in the struggle, the problem solving, it all about the journey for me not the destination. So I was offering info and a different approach.

Cheers mate, sure appreciate ya.

@ nafeasonto Hey man, I feel your pain. EZ is not like Live EQ, and that is not obvious when you first start playing. What makes it harder is when you ask questions, like you did, and most people belittle you and act like your frustrations are not valid. Your post sounds like whining, but it's really just venting, let me lay a few things down for ya and hopefully it will help.

The server is designed to get you up to lvl 70 quick and then start really playing. Generally when people see any posts that have anything about something under level 70 they label you as a noob and brush most of what you're saying aside. It is not right, but it is a fact.

Another EZ vs Live difference is that some classes are...get far more attention than others and wizards are not one of them. End game EZ content requires a warrior and a cleric, at least one of each. Paladins, rangers, mages, necors, and bards have been given a lot too, just to name some. Wizards are kind of a joke on EZ, but that is not apparent to the new comer. (Just like many things are not apparent on EZ, like the pally epic procs a party heal.)

The forums and the server are closely tied. This is not obvious when you first get on the server. Many people will give you are hard time for asking simple questions and tell you to scour the forums (apparently it is not blatantly obvious that when one is wanting to relax and play a game that sitting and reading post after post is not attractive).

This piece of advice is not necessarily EZ related, more of an imho: the fun is in the journey and not the destination. Lots of nice people on EZ, I really have enjoyed it here. People will help you out for free. The problem with that is that if someone runs you through potime and gets you your 1.5 what did you really do? Your playing time was spent following someone around and looting as fast as you can as to not slow them down or burden them. That kind of "playing" is tedious at best. And then what do you have after you've got your wonderful 1.5? Well, not enough to get your 2.0 without help. So you can find someone or pay someone to help you, and your running behind looting again. Same with 3.0 etc. So while there are those willing to help, usually that means they will do it for you rather than with you, not a whole lot of fun there. But having said that, you are going to need help if you want to progress through the epics without having them "handed" to you. It is very difficult, at best, to find people at your relative level that will group. Most people box (sometime else am EZ noob wouldn't know is that boxing is practically required on EZ)-- boxing is running multiple instances of EQ on the same computer--even running a whole party (or more) of toons by themselves. For myself, I box four, and I almost always progress-play with my bro who also boxes four or five. We have bought many epic runs, but did many of them on our own too (between us we maintain 12-16 toons at various levels). Bottom line do what's fun. If getting someone to run you through content is what you like, do it.

There's probably more I could lay down, but that's what comes to mind atm. Good luck. PM me if you want to join our guild.

I'd say pick up the armor CARDS, yes....but use them to sell for credits and eventually purchase charm upgrades. LDON armor really isnt worth the points.

I fully agree with this.

I think I'm going to work on either my FG or CG quests and try to learn the LDoNs.  So far I've been able to solo the first floor with ease.  Do I just hand that stone into the guy in the beginning to get to the 2nd floor?

About FG/CG: I saw what the rewards are but didn't see anything about if a SK pet can get the benefits of the CG membership like normal pet classes (hail for buffbot and the weapon)?

Also, is there an interface to find group members or does everyone use /ooc?  Like I said I've been having success in LDoN 1st floor but I'd expect the lower levels are going to be more challenging.

You could probably use a good guild. Whenever I have been in groups outside of guildies it just sorta happened. Kinda hard to plan on. So many people on the server box that there is not a lot of peeps looking for groups.

just my opinion..

if you are on this server for a different EQ experience don't let anyone run you through your epics or through the custom zones

i enjoyed grouping in bot and dulak... killing the bosses for the first time solo with 5% health left

when i started i went through each custom zone and got the custom gear.. it was a lot of fun
i did all of the level quests and got the platinum bags and free level rewards
not many people do this any more
Dulak>BoT>PoTime>LDoN>FG/CG>qvic>tacvi/anguish>T1-T2>HoH>T3-T4
there is a lot of content there.. sprinkle in some RoA or charm farming when you feel like it

don't be in a rush to get to the end game

I totally agree with this. The fun is in the journey not the destination.

Make friends!!!  It doesn't matter the level, as having them I have found to be priceless!!!

I sent you a PM check your inbox.

You said Pofire, so we must assume you mean the 47-70 stretch...

47-70 is warriors hands down IF you have the T1 angerV augs.

IF you do NOT have the augs, Bards are the next best PLer using the bard 1100dmg damage shield and regen songs.

Plain and simple.

I really appreciate this info, it's just what I was wondering. I am not too familiar with bards and I am going to look into them. Do you (or anyone) know the name of the song that is the 1100 DS, and is it standard (get it from spell merchant) or does it drop somewhere?

Thanks.
