The night LoY comes out and you see 35 or more frogloks walking around in better equipment than yourself, was more of a kick in the balls for me.

I could live with seeing a 65 frog in two days. It's really not that surprising if you know what's possible in terms of PLing.

What I can't comprehend is how they were able to do the cleric epic in 2 days. Is there some way to have someone else do a turn in and then have the cleric in question loot?

In summary, when you say '65 frog cleric' in two days, I say to myself, 'wow', but when you say '65 frog cleric with epic in two days', I say to myself, 'How the fuck?'

Someone please pickup my tounge on the floor down there.....65 AND Epic in 2 days? complete BS. I cant even get PL'd from 38 to 39 in 4 hours.
Guess they had the whole guild PLing him 24/7...But the epic really puzzles me... in 2 days? Some of the spawns for the cleric epic is on a 1 day spawn

You just PL in the areas you want epic parts....

Lake rathe is good for 14-24 normally...but you culd probably do levels 10-20 there with PL...and ger bergugle and the elemental guy...and then in Sol A you can get the goblin easy...then you PL in skyfire for a bit to get the pearl shards in your 40-55 range or so...

When I PL'dmy brothers bard claritin back in the day...we PL'd him where Kylere needed mage epic parts and Claritin wanted nostrolo's tamborine and something else done and I wanted soemthing too I forget what...but we were doing a couple levels an hour in his 30's and getting lots of quests done at the same time.

It's all a matter of picking your camp locations to suit more then your PL needs....a lot of times that means slightly slower exp...but if it takes you an extra hour to catch up on the exp you gave up...but you finished part of a quest that usually takes 6 hours on average to camp..then you save 5 hours right?

He probably had people log in gimps at various spawns also to track them.

Not hard at all to get to 65 fast if you have the correct people to do it. Have the twink set ready when char is selected, have the chars ready to PL and have what can b MQed ready to be MQed.

Who would want to rely on that cleric in a group?

462 AC (46 defense)... good luck finding a light blue mob to rasie defense on.

2 Abjuration, 25 Atleration... that about 12-14 hours of spell macroing.


Getting to 42 is pretty easy.
After 42 you can get PL by lvl 65s.

Kind of cheapens the whole EQ experience imho. Turns it into just another pinball game.

Hmm

is it me or is it alittle odd, how can his offense be so 177, when he has only 5 1hb.. Or any other attack skill maxed out?

Offense goes up when you have a damage shield...

In one pic the time played says 2 days 1 hour, session time 19 hours, other pic with epic says time played 2 days 2 hours, session time 13 hours, how is that possible, it's a contradiction. Am i missing something?

If you are logged into that account at all it counts on your session hours, so he coulda logged to the character select screen then left it on for 12 hours while sleeping or whatever and then came on for 1 hour and played the cleric and said 13 hours, or been on an alt for 12 hours then logged off and onto cleric without going to server select and did cleric for an hour.

Woopy for the frog, he's a 65 cleric with an epic who can't cast a spell above level 20 w/o fizzling 20 times. So basically until he does his skill work he is pretty much a res machine only. He Mq'd a ton of the epic pieces with his guild. Fact remains grats on being a worthless level 65 cleric who couldn't find his way around any new zone as his SH was at 0 Lol. I feel sorry for any exp group he gets in doing AA's, unless of course he's multiboxed only.

Skill ups are no problem with a gamepad, Ninan. If you put forth a bit of effort you can max them all within 24 hours, and if you want to be less efficient but also less attentive you can do it by ocasionally checking your computer over the course of a couple days with a dandy macro.

Of course, these third party programs are against VI's ToS, but whatever.

I personally think the people that post these sort of replies are just jealous, and are only attempting to lesson what an accomplishment this is... at least in the EQ world. 8-)

I agree, they are just jealous that they couldnt \ didnt do it first and try to find a reason to put the person who did down.

Any person who can swing that kind of powerlevelling who cant navigate by /Loc and not care what his sense heading skill is is a pillock. Assuming of course that someone with those resources doesnt know all the zones he cares about in the first place. :P Not to mention the 325 training points he has.

Anyone who thinks that someone can swing that kind of powerlevelling and quest co-ordination, but somehow have the fact that his skills might just maybe need a few hours of practice afterwards escape him and his support crew is guilty of at least the same order of stupidity he wishes to ascribe to the powerleveller, and his motives for wishing to believe it are more than a little suspect and likely unclean.

Epic- I would think (without going back and reviewing the quest to refresh my memory) it was probably more a matter of having friends co-camp bits of it while he was being powered, and just being ported and CotH'd as needed to loot stuff when it dropped, then back to powering again. Of course I could be wrong, but thats the way I'd guess without reviewing the quest again.

Its a heckuva frog. Grats on the logistics of getting all that done, if nothing else. :)

I'm pretty sure he had most of the stuff in advance, and only had to do a few things with his frog to finish up the epic.

Oh yes, I imagine he did have everything that could be multied farmed ahead of time, its just been so long since I did my epic that I dont recall how much multi-ing is actually possible in the cleric epic quest is all. I did mine back before all the changes (Thanks Kyoukan for spotting Ragefire up in SolB for me! :) ) and I did it all myself, so I wasnt paying attention to MQ possibilities at the time and dunno what the changes may have added.
