I know Sylvos and Siren are there, but who else? I am not one for digging in threads, so spill it...

A few weeks in, I have a few characters, but am liking the Brigand and SK so far...

Cohonil - DE Brigand - 25
Canelek - DE SK - 15

I am relatively casual, as my work is quite a bit more time consuming than in the EQ years.

On Lucan D'Lere here and having fun!

Permafrost > All!

Perma here too...

What's your gimps name, Boog?
I've been playing my warden, Leni a lot lately.

Boogski, 70 Wiz

I have others ranging from 35 down to mid teens

Cool, I will reserve all of your names on Guk then.

Just start a character on perma, fuckface.

Why waste your character slots. I have no intention of starting on another server.

You can always transfer to another server if you want

I know too many people on Permafrost to do that...Although I do have to be guilded with Vaemas

Not if you are going to use naughty language!

well, maybe...

Another vote for Perma! Not sure how LDL and Guk are doing for VV representation lately. I bet there still are some.

I think Guk on EQ2 is the equivalent of Hyjal in WoW. The foh peeps didn't want to associate with the rest.

I am on Guk because Sylvos convinced me to try EQ2....and I like the game. Of course, my chars are only 20-somethings and I have yet to really get into it.

Since so many are on perma though, I may start a character up there at some point, just because you are all so .

I am on Guk. Oddly enough, a chunk of old CT folks are also on Guk and guilded together. FoH just recently moved to Guk, took our rejects, and copied our cloak design. I guess their punishment is they got Sylvos.

Pretty harsh punishment....

funmastterr on permafrost (13 dirge atm). I am having fun with the dirge, it's a little too easy compared to a eq bard for me, but I won't judge it on that at such a low level I guess!

Sony reactivated my accounts until November for free. I loaded it up and made a flying creature that cant really fly more than a foot off the ground.

So what guild did you guys find your way into?

FoH actually didn't move to Guk, Elkay asked Furor to let him create an extension of the guild in EQ2 on Guk. The FoH that are from EQ1/WoW that are in EQ2 on Guk are : Me, Sirensa, Senen, Varya and Elkay. The rest are nice people that were in Tyrants/FoH EQ2 on Perma that transfered to Guk. Not the same guild, just an extension. It's fun.

The markable skull in Solusek's Eye still says "Elkay was here".

wtf!

i want to play eq2 i think will you mentor me

Hmmm... maybe I should create a charater on Guk as well, just to say Hi! Of course it' difficult to not be able to purchase all the best crap for your newbies, lol.

Perfmafrost is the place to be!

Ashur does exist on Permafrost. Evil Barb Defiler in the TD. I couldn't let my name get used by some gnome monk in front of people I know!

Usai is my warden on permafrost

I found who Ashur is on Guk. It's some level 12 Erudite Caster Alt.

Bastard!

Ouch! At least it isn't a butterfly.

Someone had taken Canno. I did get Canelek though. however, since my Brig is a MANGINA, I didn't think it appropriate.

What level is your Brig-ina? I'm almost moving steadily on Ashimar now and look forward to Ro, although I'm trying to make sure there's always some questing involved. I went a bit kill-happy on Minotaurs in Steamfont and gained about half a level with no quests and want to make sure I don't outstrip AAs. I went to Zek last night to clean up some greenie quests and to see if the deeper area was a good source of quests (all I found so far in the one direction was a bunch of homo-tastic ^^^ orc encounters and the mines).

The game sure is a lot of fun with a group, but soloing you have to be mindful of the fine line between solo and group content. Hell I had my ass handed to me three times in fucking Rivervale. You go into a general store and get raped by mobs of ^^^ asslings ... wtf. I went just slightly off the trail near some friendly looking nymphs to get a look over the hill and there was one red ^^^ one hidden in the bunch who skull-fucked me and tossed my ripped off head to Zibeker to gnaw on.

Thanks asslings! /deletes Rivervale quests

I'm still very much enjoying the game so far.

I just blew my wad (~5p?) gained from Prof Miir's EQonomy 101 class (minus a bunch of tradeskill shit I'm saving to either use or sell later) on a bunch of mastercrafted armor that was 20x the sex of basic level 40 stuff (+15 wis mods out the wazoo and much better mitigation, and I look like Batman in black instead of the Joker in patchwork clown armor!).

Also, can someone explain this whole "Appearance" tab when I bring up my inventory?

The appearance tab is for armor that you want to use for looks only. For example, I have my class quest set armor equipped there so it looks like thats what im wearing, but it's not, make sense?

Ahh... OK, is there fancy looking armor out there? I haven't seen anything that looks good, but I suppose I'm still living in the wood and waddle world of pre-80. I've heard there's some cool feathered hat swash outfits, but I didn't know what that was all about.

I'm not sure what the rage is for shamans in EQ2, as it was entirely different between EQ (where the plate-look was the one we all coveted) and WoW (where it was apparently who could get the biggest shoulderpads with lightning particle effects).

I did, however, listen to a rather lively discussion on cloak design in guildchat last night that had Sylvos ready to explode in a bloodbath of rage.

Does armor/stuff in the appearance slots count against your weight?

I'm not sure about the weight I don't think that my class armor is super cool looking or anything, it's just that it matches and looks better together than the misc. pieces I am actually using. I'm only level 43 as well, so I'm not sure about high level stuff.

The brig is 53 now. Kinda stuck in Peacock quest line, so need to figure something out.

I went to sinking sands right at 45 and have not really done much aside from there--good shit. Once you get close to that, we'll see how we can rock that duo--I think it will work well, even though scouts make poor tanks!

Some equipment tips:

As a melee spec mystic, your most important stats are STR and WIS.

On my mystic, I went with the normal mastercrafted chainmail (str/agi/sta). I usually stay away from the brig chain. Int is worthless for a melee priest.
You can make up the difference by getting the caster-centric mastercrafted jewelry (wis/int/sta) and if you have cash to spare, get a set of melee oriented jewelry... or just a couple of +str hex dolls.

One thing to keep in mind is when getting jewelry, you don't have to upgrade it evcry tier. The difference between T3 and T4 mastercrafted caster jewelry is like 2 points each of wis/int/sta and like 5 or 10 points of power/HP.
Jasper (tier 3) is dirt cheap on Perma (4-6g per) and the jasper jewelry give +10 wis/sta/int and 20 hp/power.

That would be a big upgrade for a lot of your jewelry.



Items in your appearance slots count towards your weight limit.

Canelek wrote:I think it will work well, even though scouts make poor tanks!

I'd rather have a swash/brig tank than a monk/bruiser tank.

Oh, I totally didn't consider stunlock. My bad! ><

normally, swash can maintain agro better than just about any class. Add that in with the AE and the spin mob/stun mob and you have yumminess.

No doubt about taunting machines. Of course, my gear isn't quite as good as raiding quality! I just never thought of it from that angle. Makes sense now.

Good point on the jewlery, I tend to go MC in the 20s on everything cause it's cheap on Lucan. Then I update some in the 30s, other in the 40s then back to the 30 upgrades in the 50s etc... For some reason on our server T4 jewelery is more expensive than T5...

My legs and chest are normal mastercrafted chainmail w/ all the happy imbuings (Lambent?) and the other armor slots are mastercrafted brigandine. I'll take your advice and check into cheap jewelry if I get a chance to after the game tonight.
