Hi all,

I have been gone for a while, and starting to play a bit in my free time.

I have several characters, in between T3 and T6.  In getting back into things, I am kinda lost

My first order of business is to check out my characters for who has what gear. 

The wiki helps on T3 and T4 armor names:
T3 armor will be class armor: Tarew Marr for plate classes, Fennin Ro for leather, Povar for chain and Xegony for cloth.

T4 Armor Names
Bard: Druzzil Ro; Beastlord: Veeshan; Berserker: Brell Serilis; Cleric: Tunare; Druid: Karana; Enchanter: Quellious; Magician: Prexus; Monk: Tribunal; Necromancer: Innoruuk; Paladin: Mithaniel Marr; Ranger: Erollisi Marr; Rogue: Bristlebane; Shadow Knight: Cazic Thule; Shaman: Bertoxxulous; Warrior: Rallos Zek; Wizard: Solusek Ro
T3 armor will be class armor: Tarew Marr for plate classes, Fennin Ro for leather, Povar for chain and Xegony for cloth.

T4 Armor Names
Bard: Druzzil Ro; Beastlord: Veeshan; Berserker: Brell Serilis; Cleric: Tunare; Druid: Karana; Enchanter: Quellious; Magician: Prexus; Monk: Tribunal; Necromancer: Innoruuk; Paladin: Mithaniel Marr; Ranger: Erollisi Marr; Rogue: Bristlebane; Shadow Knight: Cazic Thule; Shaman: Bertoxxulous; Warrior: Rallos Zek; Wizard: Solusek Ro

What is the T5 and T6 armor names, just adding the II or III onto the T4 names?

Sorry for newb question, but I dont see any references to armor names past T4.

Thanks for help guys

Why are all the way points now so expensive?

Hunter,

I have augs that are now too high for my chars.  I paid plenty of plat to get them, and are rendered useless now for many months.

Perhaps a way to delevel augs higher than V? Get back the essences, but the bar and SLS get forfietted? 

Just something to think about.

Thanks for listening

I have a $15 EQ/EQ2 game card for anyone still playing on live.

Will swap for stuff in game, essences, 5 EZ credits, whatever, shoot me a PM if you are interested.

Bah, figures first time on in a few days, will check back later, hopefully will be working

using UF client, anyone else having issues logging in?

"An unknown error occured while trying to join the server."

after selection of server

Just put it on a timer.  No sense in nerfing all of us who are not uber yet.

I have 6 guys, none with UC or ROA, barely any charms etc.  My guys were not strong enough to get charms during Halloween.  Now I sit with a group of guys, all done with T2, but just barely can do HoH.  So, figured ROA would be a good thing to do, but now it seems all xp everywhere is boinked.

If you are trying to fix how long it takes, then put the quest on a timer.  No need for all these other changes.

Keep it simple.  Fix the main problem which it sounds like, people are doing them too fast.

Ah, what class has that?

Am I missing a place on here or a wiki that explains all the dropped spells?

Thanks for info

When in ooc asking about strats for ROA, someone mentioned IA2.

What is that/does it mean?

I have not tried clicking from inventory, but probably you can use mq2exchange.

I will test one day, and post up how to go about it.

Save for more info later

[Epics]

I have leveled my Bard to 70, and he is part of my group.

However, I am stunned at the lack of information about this class!  So, here is my attempt at collecting information, and putting it in one place.

Epics
=====
1.0
1.5
2.0
2.5
3.0 - Song that Increases critical chance by 30% (or increase crit dmg??)
3.5
4.0 - Click gives 50k mana + 50k endurance per tick
4.5
5.0
5.5

Songs:
=====
There are basically 3 songs series worth singing.

Ancient Call of Power - There is a huge discussion on hasting and overhasting, just let it fall down to, if you have a bard, let them sing something!  Using  Ancient Call of Power adds this Overhaste + I believe this song increases your chance to proc by 30%

Selos (not the highest level one with levitate, it seems broken) Some say not to worry about it, but I like all my guys able to run the same speed.

Storm Blade adds a proc to your whole group.
or
Tempest Blade I II or III - adds a proc to your whole group
   I   Drops in  QVIC 500proc
   II  Drops in T2 1750 Proc
   III Drops in T5 for 3250 Proc



Augs:
====


LDoN Charms:
==========
Guardian - (not sure what this does?)
Sorcerer - Since most add a Bard to increase DPS, this is the best choice.  This aug will actually increase ALL your teams proc damage. (is this true?)


Ring of Ages:
=========
Many have commented on how the use the bard to powerlevel.  The basic premise is, to get duel wielding 3.0 (due to high instrument rating), then group up with your noob.  

Run noob around getting aggro with Bard on follow.  Play the War March, Psalm of Warmth. ___ of Wee and Selo's song.

Once the DS songs hit a refresh tick, disband the bard and let all the mobs hit the noob. (do not do this in custom zones, as pulling more than 10 is a no-no) (Shaman buffs and Druid Regen help this process quite a bit)

MQ2 Tips and Tricks
For those running MQ2 here are some tips and tricks:
Most versions of MQ2 have the plugin for twisting (MQ's answer to /melody).  In order to use it, you must type

/plugin mq2twist

This will enable you to twist your songs and spells together nicely.  The command is easy enough, load up the songs you want and then do

/twist 1 3 4 5 

With 1, 3, 4 and 5 being the spell gems you want to cast.  Now since most will not be running their bard as their main guy, you will want a couple buttons setup on your MAIN GUY.  The first, is have everyone on your team load up the spells they will use, then save them all as the same SPELL SET name.  My system uses myspells.  This makes it easy after a wipe or whatever, you can tell all your chars to mem their spells (songs)

/bcaa //loadspellset myspells

The next button will be to tell the bard to start singing your selected songs

/bca BardName //twist 1 3 4

You need to be careful as your bard will always be casting these spells, so if you are trying to get your team to gate out then you will need to first send your bard a

/twist off

Once you hit Epic 3.0, you will want to include this in your twist.  In order to do this, you will need to find your MQ2Twist.INI file (found in your MQ2 directory) Find the section for say [click_10]

Replace it with this section below.
[Click_10]
CastTime=4
ReCastTime=600
Name=DISABLED
Slot=13

Now 10 will actually fire off your main hand right click cast.  So a command like:

/twist 10 3 5 will ensure your epic is always on.

More to come later, but these simple guides will help you get started.

Agreed, thanks for you hard work and efforts for a fun week of stuffz,

Hi all

Kinda new to server, got one char SK to 3.0epic and most TACI armor.

Ralizing I need to box more toons, what is a good group to have?  I don't play a lot, so prefer a group that can make it very far on their own.

Is a 4box possible?  Prefer 4 over 6

Also, noticed a lot of teams say cleric, but not sure why, explaining that would help as well..
