    BTW, Maze (Tunes) and Secrets have been in chat every single day this week and behind the scenes fixing things. If you are not on discord chat, you probably are missing all of this discussion. Discord info is in the GMOTD when you log in / in the guild info.

    We told you day 1 in guild that the staff doesn't want the quest info plastered all over the server forum. Someone else in guild (before RR was around) was told not to discuss those quests on the forum. Hatorade probably didn't know any better. I had a feeling it would be deleted. Keep the info...

    Investing General Discussion

    This used to be true, but Bush changed the tax rules for expatriates. For simplicities sake, if you were exempt up to 100k but made 120k, you were taxed at the rate as if you only made 20k dollars (minus standard deductions). Bush changed it so that 20k you pay taxes on, you pay in the bracket...

    Fully agree. I had their regular Shackburger cheeseburger, cheese fries, and caramel shake. = $20 fucking dollars! These aren't large portions either. A BK whopper is larger (for size comparison). Far too expensive.

    Very original VT 1.0 had damn near every other trash mob chain blinding. Ah.. those were the days.

    I was level 65 and Luclin flagged in 3 days, but went extreme poopsock. The server is pretty chill and xp rates are far above what live was. You can catch up relatively quickly, especially if someone tosses you a weapon or two.

    King room? Aka Mycondid Spore King fungi tunic dude? Which makes no sense, as JBB drops in crypt across from the Heirophant room. King is way down in the basement with the shrooms!

    EQemu - Nagafen's Lair (Reborn)

    Well true, but if you spent any time farming your VP Fable / Vulak / and the rest of the end game Velious stuff, the majority of Luclin encounters are sideways upgrades at best until end game Luclin. Just like when you get decked out in VT, Emp, and Seru gear then most of PoP items are useless...

    Luclin? Just immediately work on farming your VT shards / Emp key. The only worthwhile loot targets are Emp, VT, and maybe Seru if you have an Arx key. The rest simply isn't worth all the hassle and headache.

    IIRC, it is cast haste, dd nuke focus (works on weapon procs), and pet focus. Between my SK and Shaman, that is 30k plat right there and should be high priority for any caster class. Plus the buff bot adds up after a while. I also imagine the odd hard to get PoP piece will need a de-attune to...

    Droga has a nice XP rate, but despite that I spent a lot of time in Sebilis. I have not found a better cash spot than Sebilis crypt for plat farming. You have 7 named spawns down there and the item loot generally sells for anywhere between 200-400p a piece. While farming plat, my XP bars on my...

    My main was a warrior and I was living in London in 2000. One of the most advanced cities in Europe, but British Telecom would auto disconnect your dial-up modem every 2 hours!! Fucking heathens. Once I got ADSL finally, it was a completely new experience. No more LD group tank here!

    I am not a huge fan of Pizza Hut, but I do think it is tolerable if you eat it immediately after being cooked. The more I think about it, Pizza Hut was primarily a dine-in experience traditionally. Certainly back in the 80s etc. Then, as most pizza places do.. they shifted to delivery. Herein...

    Just FYI, this is easy up to a point but it scales up with every xpac. There are challenges and the 65 quest is designed to be one of the first. I can certainly assure you that end game Luclin and certainly PoP have a massive leap in difficulty. Remember that the scaling is max for Classic and...

    If you have been asking for help in guild chat the last few days, its likely been missed in spam vs people ignoring you. Most of the seniors in guild have been grinding hard on PoP with insane encounters and the occasional bugs and sending feedback to staff. I have, personally, helped lots of...

    First and foremost, stop handing random items into the quest NPCs. They will (purposefully) eat your shit if you do it incorrectly. You already know the gist of what you need. 3 Pieces from VP, Tunare essence, Venril head, KT jar, and AoW scalpel (KT and AoW do not drop pieces every kill). Quest...

    You bunch of whiners. Read what I said today (also in GMOTD) and stop getting your elf pixel panties in a wad. First of all, some perspective.. you are demanding some EZ mode way to the level 65 quest. Most of you are just in the middle of Velious flags, let alone even started Luclin. Do you...

    EQemu - Nagafen's Lair (Reborn)

    The entire point of the custom 65 quest is to be oldschool and vague. There's enough hints that a vet would get it, but its not served up on a silver platter for everyone to simply access immediately. Take some time, think about what it is asking and WRITE IT DOWN. (most npc will not repeat...

    Get your resists up. Resists matter on this server. You shouldn't be expecting to resist most shit in non-raid gear pre-65 anyway.

    You only need level 55 for VP. (no key needed currently). You will need keys for ST and VT.

    I have the 950 Pro. It is quite a bit more expensive, but it is literally 4x as fast as the 850 as it uses PCIe bus vs the SATA bus like normal drives. You'd need a specific M.2 slot motherboard or PCIe adapter (and pray it boots correctly). Probably far more than you are wanting to spend.

    Samsung 850 Evos are the best bang for buck. $90 for a 250gb $150 for 500gb $310 for 1TB (shit, I had no idea they made 2TB and 4TB versions of these drives!)

    Still worth doing yourself, I think. Today's PCs are pretty hard to fuck up because you can't really plug things in where they don't belong anymore. Aside from doing something dumb like buying an AMD for an Intel MB or DDR3 for a DDR4 board, etc.. it is pretty smooth sailing. The biggest issue...

    You have downloaded the server files from the forum? There is a us_spells.txt file that should be up with what you need.

    Named have high chance to spawn, but that doesn't mean robed version of the monks will spawn. It was still a rare item for them to carry. You can actually see the robe on them if they have it.
