Hi everyone.
Well when I got the email on my phone about EQ being free, I was intrigued. Now I got three new accounts going and I really need to get some cliff notes on changes to EQ, especially with MQ2.
I am sure a lot if even any of you know me, I was more of a reader/behind the scenes talker.
So lets get started shall we?
I left EQ right when the level 85 cap was introduced. The expansion with all the clockworks lol. Its been so long I cant remember the expansion names.
How about I give you my list and you let me know if anything has been changed/nerfed?
WARP: I used warp A LOT. It was pretty safe so long as you were careful on where you and what zone you did it in. i.e. dont warp all over in POK. Is warp still about that safe?
PIGGYZONE (multi names): I also used this to go just about everywhere, again the worst thing to do was zone through highly populated areas ala POK. Is it still as safe as it was?
MM AA Grinding: I wrote three different macros for three different MM's that would utilize 3-6 toons. Two were warp heavy, one was not. I never got caught and this was grinding levels and AA's 24/7. I seem to remember reading here that MM's were heavily watched now and doing more than like two consecutive would almost always get a GM in there to check it out. Is this true? Or is it still semi-safe to afk or run them while I am sitting here?
INSTANCE FARMING: I had 4 or 5 different types of instances I could also automate, again warp heavy. This is a continuation of the above MM farming because I think I read both were being heavily watched. Is it still safe to farm instances until they collapse? Either afk or being at keyboard running a macro.
DOCRACKS: Is this plugin still working and available? Is it still as safe as it was? (Safe as it was meaning safety has not declined)
Do the following still work? (As of last compile anyways)
WeightLock
EnduringBreath
SeeInvis
NoFallDmg
AFewMountSkills
BardClicky
AlwaysDaylight
NoAccelOnMount
NoBlind
NoMelePush
UseAugSealer (OMG I love this one)
HotKEysWhileCasting (This one too)
COMMANDS: /target /instacamp /fade /speed /warp loc /zwarp /setgrav /zonelock
All these still work?
Finally, Zippzipp made a few plugins back in the day and I bought some from him. Ghost kill? NAHHHH Just kidding lol. He has a specific plugin that allowed ANY class to any clicky. Specifically what it did for example and from my own experience, I did the enchanter epic quest with my cleric to have the clicky haste, likewise did the cleric epic 1.0 quest with my shaman and druid to have rez.
In short is Zippzipp still around? Are these plugins still available? Well just this specific plugin anyways, I LOVE this plugin.
And thats it on MQ2. Got a few quick questions on EQ if anyone cares to read a little more.
I am liking the Mercs thing. Its a nice addition and I have been taking advantage of it. I got a couple questions with regards to Mercs.
1. Upgrading to higher teirs. I am reading the quests on them, but I do not know these zones at all, or the mobs in question. Is it possible for a MQ2 user to solo or duo these quests to unlock the higher tiers? If so is there a guide, writeup, or anything that can be linked?
2. Getting more Merc slots. I have only seen this available through the new station store and buying them, so I can have different types. Is it possible to do this in game without buying merc slots?
3. Is it possible to give my level 50 merc to say a level 20 and still have the meerc be level 50? Pipedream I know, but never know.
4. Last on Mercs. I see there are undead mercs with a red hue. I know I claim this through the rewards system. My question is, arethey any better than the normal mercs? Or are they the same thing just re-hued/skinned?
House:
I have tried using the plotting tool but its always saying need to be in a neighborhood zone. What does this mean and how do I do it?
Thats it for now unless someone can give me some tips on where to level 30+ in new zones and or a place to get great exp.
Oh last thing, anyone know the current hot zones? I cant seem to find a list anywhere and I am hoping City of Mist still is one because I love that zone. EDIT: Nevermind, seems it was right under my nose on Ahlla.
Thanks for taking the time to read this, I also appreciate any replies and help you guys can throw my way. Again, I know it was long and if you read it all thank you.
