Despite the last thread getting archived unexpectedly, Frens of Akalabeth hasn't gone anywhere. I didn't put a new thread up right away because I was working on the EQ server and wanted to do a combined thread. It took longer than expected, but as of tonight SoloQuest is up and running.Frens of Akalabeth (UO)>Client: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1gXDjk58BMOB3ezZtq5hjQtBNfVFom8cx/view>Server IP: 31.97.150.34 (set it in either the TazUO or ClassicAssist Launcher)FoA is my personal fork of Ultima Memento which is a fork of Adventurers of Akalabeth which is a fork of Ruins & Riches which is a fork of UO Odyssey by Djeryv. It's UO remade to be played as a single-player or small group sandbox adventure. This server has been running in one form or another for almost 2 years, although we wiped in March for the switch to Memento as its base. The way I've always described it is a shared single-player experience. My notable changes:>Boss HP scaling based on number of players and non-summoned followers engaging them.>Neutral and evil monster races must maintain 2.5k and 5k fame/karma respectively to enter most towns.>Unlike other trade skills, Alchemy does count toward the skill cap.>Trade skills that gave a direct combat bonus no longer give that bonus.>Tracking now gives a percentage weapon and spell damage bonus against the tracked mob equal to 25% of your Tracking skill.>Town Guards don't instagib and are killable, but they're still really tough.>Trail Maps reworked to a non-magic recall system.>Lower Reagent Cost capped at 80%.>Player corpse bones persist for a year, so other players who come through a dungeon will know you died there months ago.
SoloQuest (EQ)>ClientYou'll need to get a copy of the RoF2 client, which is available from a few places. You can even download it directly from Steam using DepotDownloader, as described here https://www.eqemulator.org/forums/showthread.php?t=43742Once you have the client you'll need to patch the zone files to Omens of War with this https://github.com/Akkadius/eq-expansion-switcher>ServerHost=login.eqemulator.net:5999 in eqhost.txtMake a forum account at eqemulator.org. That will be your login account.Find SoloQuest in the server list and connect.SoloQuest was designed with the same "shared single-player experience" philosophy. As you can guess by the name, it's EQ re-balanced for solo play. There are a lot of changes and you can read about them all here: https://www.eqemulator.org/index.php?pageid=serverinfo&worldid=4400
we're so back
>>1949318>>Boss HP scaling based on number of players and non-summoned followers engaging them.You changed this? Didn't summons used to count?
>>1949750Yes I just changed it. With the rate that summons get dispelled by bosses I think it was unnecessarily punishing to summoners.
>>1949904Here is exactly how the boss scaling works for any new people:>Most "boss" mobs will now scale their HP to the number of players and active followers engaging them.>HP is multiplied by the number of players and strength of the followers fighting the mob.>Each player adds 1 multiplier to the boss' max HP.>The multiplier added for followers is calculated based on the combat prowess of the pet, ranging from 0 to 4.>A wolf is rank 0 while a primeval dragon is rank 4.>Summoned followers do not count for scaling purposes.>Additional players/followers joining the fight will increase the boss' multiplier, but the multiplier will not decrease until 10 minutes pass from the last scale up. The boss will only scale up again if the rank of its foes exceeds the previous max.>There is messaging for both scaling up and down so you will know if a mob scales or not.>This behavior is limited to those unique boss monsters usually tied to quests such as Mangar, Exodus, Banes, Titans, Dracula etc.>Example: 2 players engage Mangar, 1 player has a pet wyrm (rank 3): Mangar's HP is multiplied by 5. Another player joins the fight and Mangar's max HP is now multiplied by 6 plus he heals the difference between his prior max HP and new max HP. If the players fail to kill him, Mangar does a scale down check 10 minutes from when he scaled up last. If he has 0 or 1 foe at that time his HP returns to its base value.The main reason for instituting this was that the game was a cakewalk for tamers. This is the only fork of Odyssey that actually addresses how OP tamers are.
>Account-based progression system. Use the !prog and !prog track commands in-game.>Classic: All races and classes available EXCEPT Iksar and Vah Shir. Level 51 cap so you can grind AAs here. Unlock Kunark by killing Nagafen or Vox or Phinigel OR by killing 12 iconic dungeon mobs.>Kunark: Iksar now available. Level 60 cap. Unlock Velious by killing Trakanon or Venril Sathir OR by completing key quests.>Velious: Unlock Luclin by killing Dain or King Tormax or Lord Yelinak OR by questing for every Skyshrine or Kael armor piece for your class.>Luclin: Vah Shir now available. Unlock PoP by killing Emperor Sshraeza or Thought Horror Overfiend or Grieg OR loot all 10 Lucid Shards for the VT key. You have to loot them from a corpse for it to count.I like the alternate progression options a lot. How hard are those raid mobs in-era solo?
Reading around I still don't understand how offline UO works. What's the most popular version? Is there any way for me to host the server locally on my machine and install additional mods (like SPTarkov)? How can I set this up?
>>1951029I was new to it and it's really cool but later my anti virus said mine had a really badly malwared exe which spooked the living fuck out of me.wiped it and haven't tried it again but I forgot where I downloaded mine
>>1950881>How hard are those raid mobs in-era solo?All of the progression raids should be doable by any class at current level cap, with good gear and AAs plus a bot. Some classes will need a bot more than others. I tested them all with a Warrior + Cleric bot. I do expect more tweaking will be needed, particularly for the tougher raid zones like Veeshan's Peak and ToV which I deliberately left more difficult (ToV trash mobs were nerfed significantly more than the bosses as they're meant to be solo'd for the armor quests). I expect those will require 2 players to clear, VP especially. >>1951029If you want to run your own local server of one of the Odyssey forks you need to get the corresponding client and server files. The fork mine is based on is here https://github.com/Jascen/ultima-memento
kek this is a nice touch
>>1952583Death announcements are sovl.
I’m trying to get on to SoloQuest and am having trouble. I downloaded the rof2 client from the steam depot and then I downloaded the exe for the expansion switcher. When I run the expansion switcher it has an install window with a bar that fills up to 100% and then does nothing. I’m not sure what this program is supposed to do or if that’s it. I would think at some point I would have to pick an expansion. After that I try to run eqgame.exe but it bring up and error window that just says “run EverQuest.exe” but that exe doesn’t exist. What am I doing wrong?
>>1954435Run expansion switcher in admin mode, select your EQ directory, pick the Omens of War expansion then patch.
>>1954666Ok I got the files patched correctly but I am still getting this when I run eqgame.exe both normally and in admin mode. Am I supposed to launch using something else?
>>1954772Go to into your EverQuest_RoF2 directory and locate the EQGAME.EXE file. Right-click on the file and select "Create Shortcut." You can rename this shortcut and drag it anywhere you'd like (most people like to put it on their desktop). Now, right-click that shortcut and select Properties. In the "target" box, you will see the path to the eqgame.exe file. At the end of the target add "patchme" (no quotes). Your target box should look similar to this:-If space in directory path:"C:\Program Files\Everquest\eqgame.exe" patchme-No space in directory path:C:\Everquest\eqgame.exe patchme
>>1954795it worked thanks anon
SoloQuest:If anyone was having issues with zones becoming unavailable that should be fixed now.
>>1949318Are the nexus and bazaar accessible by default or do you have to be in luclin? Is there a level requirement to enter them?
>>1957308They're accessible right away at level 1 in Classic progression. Also the Hole and the Warrens are accessible in Classic.SoloQuest:>Fixed Shaman bots' spell table. Their AI and ^cast functions are now working properly.
SoloQuest:>Added a 25% group XP PENALTY. This is the tradeoff for the added safety of having a bot in your group. Risk vs reward is the name of the game.>Bots can no longer be invited to a group while in combat.
>>1957945im not level 20 yet, but ive never played with a bot before. you say on the server page you recommend keeping one leveled and geared up to date, but how do you interact with the bot? ive only ever played p99 and live classic. is it just all text commands? including managing its inventory and having it cast spells?
>>1958128Yeah, just type ^help to get a list of all the commands. The AI is pretty robust and handles combat well enough on its own, but there's a lot of customization you can do if you want. On other servers people do raids by themselves with 70 bots, so just the 1 is very easy to manage.On another note we have our first player to advance to Kunark. Congrats, Mael. ngl I wasn't expecting that level of poopsocking out of the gate.
I tried to zone into misty thicket from runnyeye and the game crashed and gave me an error saying the misty zone files were not found. Now when I try to log in (on any character in any zone) it has the black you have been disconnected screen and crashes immediately. Any idea whats wrong?
>>1960537Did you patch your zone files to Omens of War with the expansion switcher? The disconnect is probably just because your character hasn't timed out.
>>1960615Yes, I have been playing for many hours with no issues. I am able to access the nexus and bazaar with no issue so the expansion switch was done correctly. I haven't tried zoning back into misty yet but I was able to get back into the game on another character after it presumably timed out like you said. I used the return to home option on character select to get out of misty.
>>1960670It's possible just your misty files are corrupted. Run the patcher again.
>>1960677I found that I was unable to zone into highpass as well. After doing some research I think I may have found the issue, or at least part of it. The server db points to using the classic misty thicket zone, however the files included in the rof2 client are the revamped files, and the classic files are NOT included in the expansion switcher. The revamped zone files are mistythicket_xxx while the classic zone files are misty_xxx. I was able to get into misty thicket by copying all of the misty_xxx files from my p99 folder and deleting all of the mistythicket_xxx files in my SoloQuest folder.I believe that highpass has the opposite problem where the db is pointing to the revamped files highpasshold_xxx however those files are different from the classic highpass_xxx files that are in the SoloQuest folder which are patched with the expansion switcher. This is more of a guess though since I can't test it directly.
nta with the runnyeye problem but i tried zoning into west commonlands from east commonlands and got a missing zone file "commons" crash-to-desktop. I copied over two different types of files named "commons" from my thj directory to soloquest, and everything worked no problem.
Everyone having zone issues EXCEPT in Highpass is due to not using the Expansion Switcher or needing to re-run it. The OOW patch from the switcher works just fine for Misty on my machine. Highpass is apparently a known issue that I wasn't aware of and I have to do some stuff to get the old version working.
>>1960810After redownloading the rof2 client and copying over the revamped zone files highpasshold_xxx and deleting the classic files patched in from the expansion switcher highpass_xxx I was able to successfully get in to highpass. I think this is a broad issue with revamped zones being assigned in the db. The revamped zones are completely different zones with different files so if the db is pointing to the revamped/classic version and there is a mismatch then it will say the zone files are missing. I assume this is the case with what anon said above as well, which is why it worked when he pasted in his rof2 files from THJ.
>>1960851The expansion switcher tells you exactly which files it is patching, the misty files aren't in it.
>>1960859Regardless, I didn't need to copy any other files. Misty works. I don't know what to tell you.
Old Highpass Hold is working now. You'll (probably) need these zone files: https://mega.nz/file/DZRBWQpI#N9h8Ka9dd_B2Gz1KGWRQJNK3VViEMVMMHVOlUF81IFw
The Lavastorm zone line to Temple of SolRo is no longer an invisible door you have to click. Just walk over as usual. Also changed the time between Spire ports to the Nexus from 15 minutes to 10 minutes.
do all races and classes gain xp at the same rate? it feels different but it might just be my imagination, i know it was a thing in the past but not sure how far it got carried forward (for soloquest)
>>1961944They should be. I didn't enable the old race/class XP penalties
i'm liking the server, anon. who knew single player everquest could be so much fun?
>>1964210So true.
>>1964210>solo everquestWHY!?Why would you play something meant for groups of thousands of players solo!?
>>1965523why not?

>>1965523For me, I end up playing solo 90% of the time anyway (even on P99). At least on a server like this I can do everything. I mean THJ is the most popular emu server ever and even with 3k people on it may as well be 3k single player servers with a shared chat and Bazaar since everyone is in their own instance. This is a much more grounded THJ (group mobs actually pose a threat, but you can still solo most raids with a bot) in a non-instanced shared world with stakes because death is painful.
Sounds interesting since The Hero's Journey is on standby mode due to the lawsuit.
Any thoughts on removing the group requirement for LDoN missions?
oy vey! ze goyim is playing alone! shat him down!
>>1968527It's a pain in the ass because the group check is baked into the client. I did lock them behind PoP progression though. Also if you had an Adventurer's Stone (3 of you did) you no longer have it.
Is it feasible to tank all the raid bosses through oow with the necro pet? I'm not far but it seems like picking a dps class as your class would be not ideal since you can only have 1 bot so you won't have either a tank or a healer unless you pick one as your character.
>>1969079Ideal? Maybe not. Viable? Yes, every class can take on the raids with a bot. Some will just have an easier time and need less AAs to do it. Remember, you don't have to raid at all to progress. That's just one path.
is the mob debuff window supposed to not work? im almost certain that is a feature native to the rof2 client
>>1970580There's a rule to enable that for everyone, but it's off by default. I just turned it on.
Is there a way to get the spell merchants added after the freeport rework into the classic zones? Some examples are Ardrian Zhusius, Ennarn Shotius, and Firrion Roweus. Or are they somewhere else besides East Freeport already? I (think) they only sell pre-OoW spells.
>>1972030I probably won't, no, but you can use the Sage and Scryer NPCs in every starting city to look up who sells a spell and what zone they're in.
Hey & thanks for this experiment anon. The install was easy and I'm trying your EQ server. On the EQEMU page it says you can have a max of 4 players in a group, including bots. Does that mean I could play with my wife and her boyfriend and say one bot for a full group?How do you log in the same instance?
>>1974388Bots count as group members, so yes 2 players and 2 bots or 3 players and 1 bot would be the max.>How do you log in the same instance?Raids aren't required for any expeditions.
>>1974723I was going to ask that the other day but I forgot, are there instances? if so how do you access them?
>>1974388>my wife and her boyfrienduhh happy adventuring, I guess.OP, I sent in a /bug report about Consigned Bite of the Shissar procs being very high. I also cannot zone FROM Lavastorm TO Nektulos -- it says entering Nektulos but I go through the zone load screen and I'm back in Lavastorm near the Nek zoneline. No error messages or anything. This is a RoF2 client from the steam console, outside of program files on win 11, and ran akkadius' xpac switcher as admin to Omens of War if that helps.
how does xp with a pet work on here do you have to do half the damage or no
>>1975211>do you have to do half the damage or noNo.>>1974995I just fixed Lavastorm to Nektulos. Looking into the poison proc, although that has to be a stock emu issue because I haven't touched any spells. Thanks.
>>1974746No instances other than LDoN and later expansion raid expeditions.
Any chance you could allow bards to swarm? Looks like its currently using the rule where moving mobs don't take damage from bard songs. Not sure what the best way to level a bard solo to the mid 20s is otherwise when they get their actual soloing tools besides slowly beating things to death at a glacial pace.
>>1975975Done
Yeah I started a bard and noticed that too, thanks for implementing swarm.I sent you a bug report regarding Basilisk Hatchlings in G Faydark that chain proc paralysis 100% of the time. Meaning you're stunned until you die, I never resisted it once (it was blue).
>>1976983Basilisks do be like that tho. It's not a bug
Is there a way to look at a bot's character sheet or otherwise look at its stats/resists/etc? I don't see anything in the ^help menu that is immediately obvious
I've killed the ghoul arch magus on two different characters and I haven't gotten credit for him on either character, any idea why?
>>1978073Ok it gave me credit after a few more tries, I think it died to a damage shield or some other kind of indirect damage so it wasn't ticking. When I just nuked it it worked.
Fabled variants of prog mobs do not give credit, not sure if this is intended or not.
>>1977563Nope.>>1978073>>1978149There were 2 different ghoul arch magus mobs with different NPC IDs and an equal chance to spawn in that spawngroup. I just removed the one that isn't checked in the progression track and doubled the spawn chance of the remaining one. I was going to add the other one to the track, but I see no reason to have both spawning.>>1978455Fabled mobs should no longer spawn. Oversight on my part.
I can appreciate the increased drop rate, but a side effect of this is almost all mobs that have weapons on their loot table spawn with 2 of them so they all quad and their damage output is wild. Is this intended?
>>1978804No it wasn't intended, but not all mobs that are wielding 2 weapons can actually dual wield or double/triple attack. Those are special abilities.
Are the bots spell casting lists fixed or can they be edited? Would like to have the Paladin bot use cease and desist but they don't seem to have those spells. From what I can tell they only have 17 total spells (at least at my level not sure if they learn more at higher level)
>>1979499Also I see in the eqemu docs there is an ^applypotion command to use a potion on a bot but I can't seem to get it to work in game. I don't see it on the ^help menu either. Was it disabled?
>>1979499Typically with bot spells you don't have the option of casting lower level versions of the same spell effect. So for Paladins Cease becomes Desist becomes Stun becomes Holy Might and so on.>>1979501That only works for rogue bots using rogue potions (poisons).
https://github.com/Akkadius/eq-expansion-switcher isn't working, does anyone have an alternative link or how to get this started?I have the RoF client and the host is set. I am stuck at the character select screen but nothing works. Guessing I need it swapped before i can start? Thanks
>>1981272You have to run it as admin for it to work, if you just run it regularly the bar will fill up then nothing will happen.
>>1981272>>1981465He means the link is broken. Akkadius threw a tantrum over the THJ lawsuit and pulled all his stuff down. I'll host it and post a new link later today.
Here's a zip of all the zone files you need for this server.https://mega.nz/file/iFIgjQJQ#0_qT-0tWUzlT0VoV4VZ_QOLFPJn5e1PGgNrLqzgm9WQ

>>1982491You should at least be getting to the character creation screen. Try this. I added the exported client files from the server and also the nektulos.txt map file that I forgot to include.https://mega.nz/file/LRgW0SqS#xdc-XYwIzM6hv3xyBX6-J7l22Df4gN7zoFcoI3UyWIc
>>1982683Thank you! I found the issue isn't related to the server or anything. It seems my game is running twice as fast and I am not able to click on anything.. so I will figure that out and try again. I appreciate the fast response.
>>1982831Do you have an AMD cpu? I think I heard of those giving that sort of issue. There's a fix if so
>>1982915That is 100% it, I am just trying to go down the list of fixes.. but if you have an idea, I'd love to hear. So far, no go.
>>1982959Got it to work! Though I had to set my cpu speed to 4,200. Seems to have fixed everything, wished I didn't need to go into bios for it.
animation empathy rk 3 doesnt do anything if you're not level 51+ (enchanter starting AA to give pet commands)none of the pet buttons are lit up, and /pet attack does nothing
>>1983280I felt this way about enhanced root as well, but obviously it’s a lot harder to confirm. Felt like a night and day difference after I hit 51.
>>1983280>>1983640I changed all of the starting AAs to have a level req of 1.
Is there some trick to getting the bard bot to work? Even when I set it with only 1 song and ^enforcespellsettings it never uses it either in or out of combat. Some songs it uses just fine but others it will never use.
Can't get past the Character Select screen.I used the Portal to the Dreadlands in The Nexus, and once the teleport activated, it hung, then kicked me out of the game.I am unable now to get back into the game, my character is showing it is in the Dread lands, but when I try to "Enter World" it hangs, and punts me to the login screen.Guessing you have too many active zones and can't start another.
>>1984351You just need to wait 10 minutes
Might be a flagging issue, I was able to use the [return home] button on the character select.I am most certainly flagged for Kunark, but it is not letting me go to a Kunark zone.
That is not the problem
I forgot to open the additional zone server ports in docker. Server's back up and it should be fixed now.
I am crashing when trying to zone into Lavastorm from either Nek forest zoneline or druid port. I have tried a clean RoF2 client and one I downloaded from steam a couple weeks ago and same thing happens on both. I am using the expansion switcher, patched to OoW, and it seems to be working, the lavastorm files (10) have new timestamps. Any ideas on how I can fix this?
I cant seem to log in. I can get to character select, but then it just hangs up and goes back to the log in screen. I played and zoned several times, but the problem started when I tried to zone into Crushbone. I then made a new character wondering if the zone was down or something, and cant log in with that one either.
>>1984355What does that do?
Looks like there still is an issue. Tried to zone back to Halas, and it kicked me to the login screen. Waited long enough for the time out, then logged back in, but unable to enter the world.
Cant zone out of any zone.
Seems the zoning thing has been resolved, however now there are no spells on the vendors and using the NPC to search for spells, all the spell names come up as "Invalid Item in Varlink." My starting robe, food, and bags are also missing..
My characters are about naked. Almost all their gear was quest gear and that has vanished.
From what I can tell, any item that is/was on a vendor is missing. There are very few things on any of the vendors. Im sure it has to do with the above Varlink error.
Gear is back and so is zoning. Cheers
The gear missing was just a botched restart. Zoning is another story. I don't know why it crashed again. Every port is open with no conflicts. I'll dig into it at some point today.
Am I safe to zone around or should I just go to one zone and stick to it?
>>1984921Zone around
>>1984876Let me add a few more data points:I had this last night in Upper Guk and South Ro. In both cases I was able to Origin home from the character selection. At some point the server went down for like a minute, and when it came back South Ro was working but Upper Guk was still broken.
seems zoning into The Feerrott from rathe is having some issues
Server's down. I found the problem.
Was able to zone into the Nexus, but when the Velious portal to The Great Divide activated, my screen just froze, and eventually kicked me back, all the way to the login screen.Mon Sep 29 09:54:47 2025]00879:Waiting to connect to zone...

Can you not level to 61? I've killed many mobs and it just stays at 99%. Do you need to be in PoP?
>>1985072Yes, 60 is the max until PoP.
I just tried to enter the Bazaar from the Nexus. Everything was greyed out. Is it because I am only level 12?
>>1985597You need the client files linked on the eqemulator.org server page https://www.eqemulator.org/index.php?pageid=serverinfo&worldid=4400
I never played EQ, but i have played UO. Can someone give me a qrd and sell me into this?
Having the PoP flag, I keep seeing how we have access to PoK ever since getting Kunark flagged. How do we get to Plane of Knowledge?
>>1985825From books in any of the Kunark+ zones you have access to.
Every single 60+ spell is really a rare drop RNG turn in huh, can’t believe they didn’t leave that absolute trash idea in kunark

Items in the Bazaar have had their prices increased considerably. Coin drops restored to default values. King Tormax, Dain, and Lord Yelinak were buffed slightly. Lucid Shard drop rates decreased. Thanks Yenia and Psycho for the data. As the early birds, you get the worm.
I get kicked when I try to enter Misty Thicket
I'm still crashing when trying to enter lavastorm. The return home button on character selection screen is also greyed out so I cant return to bind point either. The return home button was working before, only change I made was re-download and install the latest client files from mega.nz. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
>>1986472>>1986503All I can say is triple check your zone files. I put a 12 hour timer on the return home button.
>>1986313according to the scryer all of the 60+ druid spells are supposed to be sold by this guy, he is also listed as the source on alla.
Alla won't be accurate for everything because the server's expansion is set to Omens. I'll see about getting the Sage/Scryer NPCs to filter out expansion gated items.
>>1986819What is the intent exactly? Saying to utilize the scryer in response to my statement seems to imply that these spells should be merchant purchasable from the merchant the scryer points to. Are these spells supposed to be farmed or bought? Because while the 61-62 spells can be farmed from planes trash the 63+ spells are raid boss drops only.
>>1986674Not sure how to fix it. I tried taking the misty files from a titaniuum version and placing them in the folder. That didn't help.
>>1986832>Because while the 61-62 spells can be farmed from planes trash the 63+ spells are raid boss drops only.This is the intent. In fact, I've also removed the spell merchants from the Bazaar. This, along with the item price increases will encourage more farming. Just buying everything is kind of lame.
Are melee augment vendors in? Such as the Wulfenite or Dioptase stuff
>>1987358Yes, sold by Gemcrafter Tessu in Grobb and Gemcrafter Anuk in Qeynos.
Is there any difference in aa gain at level 51 vs 60 vs 65, etc? Like on THJ you got less AA if you AA'd at 30.
>>1987516Higher level mobs give more AA XP, so yes. It's not scaled or normalized.
I caved and made a discord https://discord.gg/Ct3HFSHZBj
Why can't I logon to eq emu? I even reset my password why are the servers being such bitches?
>>1989343Make sure your eqhost.txt points to eqemulator and not projecteq. PEQ is no more
>>1989712that did it, but my characters are gone now. am I fucked?
>>1989755>>1989712nvm I'm retard.I connected to the wrong server.All is good now
Restored default CC immunities to all mobs EXCEPT pacification. Every mob can be pacified. This isn't necessarily permanent, so please give me feedback on raid difficulty.
>>1990004Can you elaborate on this? Are raid bosses going to be slow immune across the board?
>>1990312Whichever raid bosses are known to be slow immune will be slow immune now, yes.
Increased the group XP penalty to 33%.
>>1990422just disable xp while grouped if you are so against it, you went from 0 to 25 to 33 already
>>1990508Just trying to find a good balance of risk v reward. I don't want to turn it off completely.
Don't cheat means don't use MQ, niggers. Especially not warp.
How do I get an essence emerald and wisp stone for the key to vex thal quest?
>>1991258I'll come up with a solution. Probably add them to the tradeskill NPCs in the cities.Also I just banned 2 people for continuing to use MQ after I warned them. Stop it, faggots.
>Translocator Deela in Timorous Deep will now port to Firiona Vie, The Overthere and Oasis of Marr.>Added Translocator NPCs that port back to Timorous to each of those 3 zones as well.
If you are really gonna leave the cc changes in then at least consider lettings snares stick on raid mobs at the flee threshold. With the amount of health these mobs have it is a crapshoot whether or not they phase through the floor/walls before you can kill them or run through an entire zone while you are trying to dps them down.
>>1991973I could just make them not flee. Which ones in particular are giving you trouble?
>>1991980The worst offenders have been the 4 crystal mobs for the seru key, had to camp out multiple times to reset them because they kept phasing through the floor. Happened with Grieg too but fortunately he walked back into the arena. Don't really think it is a good change in general though, particularly for random trash to be cc immune that you probably won't be clearing with a bot unless you knew it was cc immune. Or mass adds that get spawned during a raid encounter that you would normally have a dedicated control team for in an actual raid situation.
>>1992009Fair. Trash for sure shouldn't be CC immune. I reverted the change because I think I went too far on the easy side initially. I'd rather err on the side of hard and nerf the encounters instead of the other way around.
Something wonky is going on in the Plane of Innovation, I escorted the gnome to Xanamech but there are like 4 Xanamechs here on top of each other, he activated one and I killed it then he activated another one right afterwards and I killed that one too but he died at the end of it. There are at least 2 more up.
>>1992178I cleaned up that quest script. Shouldn't spawn duplicates anymore. Let me know how it goes if you run it again.
>Human Clerics can pick Mithaniel and Erollisi Marr at character creation again. Overlooked this when I set the Freeport starts to old Freeport.>Restored PoK books in The Overthere and Field of Bone.
I was in Highpass and trained some gnolls to the guards at Highkeep entrance. I waited and the guards never engaged them.
>>1992455Fixed.
>>1992257On my third Xanamech kill of the morning, he keeps just spawning new ones after I kill one. There's still 2 standing here on top of each other but I don't think he's activating those he is spawning new ones. I'm not sure what the purpose of these existing ones are if the npc is what spawns them, but I'm not too familiar with this era.
>>1992970I updated the script and added some debugging this time so let me know if you run it again.
>>1993152I escorted the gnome to Xanamech and he's just standing here not doing anything. There are multiple untargetable Xanamechs currently here.
are those poison merchants coming back, or any form of damage based poison
>>1993152I was able to get the factory key from killing Xanamech, however for the Manaetic Behemoth I have to keep spiders out of the room but there are legitimately thousands of them. So many that using the track skill just automatically causes the client to crash and they respawn very fast. Completing it in this state is not possible.
Thelin Poxbourne is not working correctly in the hedge maze mission in the Plane of Nightmare. He walks to one spot and then returns to his initial position then stands there for a few minutes and does it again.
>>1949318Everquest has aged terribly I'm afraid only the giganerds who are 40+ years old can probably enjoy it.t. am 35.
>>1994459No I decided Rogues need to craft their own poisons.>>1994611So my last fix worked then? When I left off last night the win condition wasn't actually triggering, which is why new Xanamechs kept popping, but it was late so I went to bed before testing the last fix. I did look just now and saw Nitram was still in Xanamech's room so pushed another fix that should get him to depop properly.>>1994611Noted. I'll either remove the spider mechanic or tone them down a lot.>>1994715Also noted. I'm not sure why these quest scripts are breaking. They're all stock eqemu. I'll ask about it in the new eqemu discord.
>>1994459>>1994860Certainly reasonable, but I think one issue is that the Seeds of Destruction-era poisons all need(?) some things from merchants for combines, namely the Grade x, y or z Mamba, Nigriventor, etc. venoms and those inputs were on certain npcs like Toxicologist Huey in PoK. I don't think those are reliably farmed, unless you can confirm otherwise. The pre-SoD poisons do not seem to work at all.
>>1994611The spiders weren't triggering the burst spell+despawn when they reached the Behemoth, so over time thousands of spiders flooded the zone. Fun times. I fixed it by just converting the perl scripts to lua. Fuck perl. I also removed 1 spider spawn from each side to make it a little easier.>>1995397Ah right. I'll add a poisoner merchant to the Bazaar with the components.>Fixed guards not attacking gnolls and orcs in Highpass Hold.>Fixed loot tables.>Fixed bot buffs not being cleared from pets when the bot is removed from the group.
>>1991258soft reminder, the softest
Are you able to check if the Druid AA Viscid Roots is implemented properly? I am almost positive it is having the reverse effect. I have 2/2 ranks in it.
>>1995581yep>>1995627'sall good
>Corrected Half-Elf starting locations in Freeport.>Added the missing deity options for Half-Elf Paladins. >Fixed the ping pong zoning issue that sometimes occurred when attempting to enter a zone that is locked by progression.
I killed the Manaetic Behemoth, but Giwin Mirakon did not spawn afterwards to give me the flag.
>>1996249Did you try to go back to him and hail him?
>>1996271I did, yes. He was unresponsive.
>>1996277Should be fixed now. I converted Thelin Poxbourne's scripts to lua, but haven't tested it yet. Also fixed the loot tables (again). Next up is poison components and getting an NPC in the Bazaar to sell Essence Emeralds and Summoned Wisp Stones.
Stunning Blow needs to be severely nerfed or removed completely, there is absolutely no reason I should be stunned for 5 straight minutes with 300 MR while I slowly die to some random trash mob.
I was able to successfully get the flag for killing the Manaetic Behemoth.
The Bertoxxulous raid event in the Crypt of Decay does not progress past killing Kavilis Adan. I have waited over 30 minutes and killed dozens of mobs after killing Kavilis, and Raddi Adan has not spawned. As a side note, I believe this event should be retooled somewhat. Just to clear the Spectre of Corruption, the trash, and the first 4 named takes over an hour, and thats only 1/3 of the event, just for the opportunity to fight Bertoxxulous. Dying to him after spending so much time clearing would surely be beyond maddening, and then you have to wait 8+ hours for the Spectre to respawn to try again.
>>1999052>>1999561Noted.>Lowered the Bazaar alchemist's potion prices.>Added 2 poison supplier merchants to the Bazaar who sell ingredients for SoD era Rogue potions.>Added Velis Duskwhisper to the Bazaar. Hail him if you're in need of an Essence Emerald and/or Summoned: Wisp Stone.
>>1999561Changed the event to not require any trash kills. Darwol spawns right away and each miniboss' death triggers the next up to Bertox. I ran through it myself and completed it and got the flag. Also did a repop of the Spectre.
Took another census of level 5+ characters and had chatgpt analyze it. Funny how we went from no mages to them being the most played. Now all is right with the world again.As of the latest census, Magicians are the most common class on the server, with 9 characters level 5 or higher and 4 past level 25. Necromancers, Shadow Knights, and Monks follow closely with 7 each, though only the Shadow Knights have advanced beyond level 50. Rangers come next with 6, while Berserkers have 5 total and 1 at level 52+. Warriors, Bards, and Rogues each have 4 characters over level 5, with Warriors and Druids tied for the highest representation at level 61 and above at 1 each. The priest and pure caster archetypes—Shamans, Clerics, Enchanters, and Wizards—each have only two or three characters represented, showing a clear bias toward melee and hybrid playstyles among higher-level players.Racially, Humans are the largest population overall, with 14 characters level 5 or higher, followed by Wood Elves (10) and High Elves (9). Dark Elves and Barbarians are next, each with 6–7 total characters and a few advancing into the higher tiers. Gnomes, Dwarves, and Ogres each have five representatives, while smaller races such as Halflings, Half Elves, and Trolls are far less common. Only a single Erudite and one Vah Shir have made appearances so far, and notably, there are no Iksar characters above level 5 yet.Overall, the server’s adventurers lean heavily toward classic surface races and damage-focused classes, with relatively few clerics or support casters represented in the upper levels.

How do I get my shaman bot to cast sow?What happens if my bot dies?Is there a general guide on how bots work? Ty
>>2001494^cast helpWhen a bot dies it just gets a 5 minute rez sickness debuff when you respawn it.^help
>Fixed an issue with bots lingering as ghost group members and eating XP if not properly removed from the group.>Increased Origin recast time to 1 hour.
>>2002813Ok I type ^cast nukes, but instead of casting a nuke I get a message listing the required bots. I have the required bot, what I don't have is a clue.
>>2003267It's a Shaman, ^cast dots. Really just read all the ^help documentation, it explains everything pretty well.
>>2003267Also stop using the bot. You're cucking yourself out of a ton of XP. Unless you're just that scared of dying it isn't worth using the bot outside of raids/corpse retrieval/stuff like pulling a Bard out for Selos on long runs. This is by design. 10-09-2025 20:44:44 | Zone | Info | EXPDBG base=59062 members_live=2 members_names=2 member_mod=1 grp_mult_rule=0.67 group_exp=39571 members=[Blob, Cara] 10-09-2025 20:44:44 | Zone | Info | EXPDBG member [Blob] lvl=20 receives=19785 That's before ZEM and con scaling so not exact, but you get the idea.
>>2003294I've tried multiple bots. Something like casting a nuke is a fairly straightforward starting point.>>2003308I'm just trying to figure out how all this works. a bot seems like a handy tool in certain situations.
>>2003315Oh I see, the 'nukes' shortname isn't working. Use the type IDs instead. For nukes it's ^cast 0.
>>2003322^cast nukes was working sometimes. I guess the bot has some criteria to decide if it can cast the spell, and if it can't it just spits out a generic error.
>>2003308>it isn't worth using the bot outside of raids/corpse retrieval/stuff like pulling a Bard out for Selos on long runs. This is by design. noted. I think I had some tunnel vision about the bots when I got to level 20.Also I now know why I couldn't get the shaman to cast sow: he doesn't have sow in his ^spells
>>2003743Yes he does.
