This post has been very informative.  I now know a very small portion of FL resides in the CST time zone. 

Funny b/c that's exactly what I was thinking when he said FL and he was CST.

Thanks for the suggestions.  I ended up paying 50k for the KDs.  And when I was out looking for the Forager, Froddo was nice enough to help me. 

Thanks again Froddo!

KD sucks but Trak Idol is REALLY easy.

Oh, that's good to hear.  I was intimidated by seeing people asking for someone to track for them in /ooc. 

I'll give it a shot tonight.

Running my first time through the FG quests and I've farmed up nearly everything else (still need 3 kings cards) and I've come to the realization it would probably be easier to farm up the gold than farm up these two items. 

Just looking for a fair maket value - something for me to shoot for so I know how much plat I need to farm.

LOL! Love the name Jefferson Twilight is my hero!

Funny thing is I saw a Euridite Necro in EQ with the name about 10 years ago and my roommate and I laughed with tears in our eyes for like 20 minutes. 

Since then I use the name for any class that has lifedrain abilities in current MMOs.

I think it originated from a movie in the 70s.

Ahhhhh.  That makes a LOT of sense now.

Funny thing is I used to work my BUTT off to try and get to the last guy in Unrest for the DWB on life with my 45 paladin (mostly in bronze armor).

So I get my SK to a manageable level and decide to walk into that place for old times sake and guess what?  The boots drop on the first kill!

TY for the link!

This may not be the perfect place for this type of question but Why do people farm (or pay large amounts of plat) for vanilla EQ items?

I see it a lot in /ooc where people pay a large amount of plat for an item that isn't nearly as good as something that drops from the custom zones.

Maybe I'm missing something about these items?

I've been using Titanium as well and after reading a post about the differences of SoD and Tit (heh!) I'm going to get SoD as the advantages are abundant.

[SO]

Kaizen, I completely see what you're saying.  I've been playing this toon for a couple of weeks - went through each zone the first time through and did the quests and got the armor.  I farmed Fear for gems and gear and hit 70 in there.

I then immediately de-leveled back to 1 for my ring (mostly b/c I thought I could level it with XP) and now I just got back to 70 with my 1.5. 

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.

Thanks again everyone, I feel like I'm learning SO much more every day!

[1.5]

Just want to give a huge thanks to Fugitive again!  He walked me through all of my 1.5 and let me take 15 mins looting all the goodies.  ;-)

I've been in lodn getting lost but having fun. 

It goes to show you that this element of mystery is missing from most modern games.  Queue up for a random instance with 4 strangers, clear in 20 mins, and go about your business.  lodn felt limitless!  I'm really having a lot of fun!

Thanks again Fugitive - you rock buddy!

1.5 SK!

Hi, I just hit 70 on my SK (2nd time through) and I'm kinda lost as to what do I do now.

I've been in PoT soloing single pulls but that doesn't seem to efficient.  Should I try to get a group for something?  I kinda like I don't bring enough to the table to run a Qvic. 

I do have a decent pocket of cash sitting around.  Should I offer up 100k or something for someone to help me get my 1.5 weapon?

Any guidance would be appreciated.  I can't believe how much I'm enjoying this game!
