I think MIschief as a ruleset is the most fun I've had in EQ since the "glory days". However, Luclin start just adds so much goddamn QOL to the game that it's insane not to start there. To say nothing of the extra content for leveling, BLs, AAs, etc.

I could part with some kronos. 10 dolla, soldier boy! 10 dolla!
I maintain that a TSS start would be tremendous for content and QOL.
Disable autogrant AAs until some later point (Underfoot would be fine, as that's where TSS would unlock) so that all of the pre-TSS AAs are on the table.
So many choices to be made in how to build up, especially in that first era. Whatever guilds were racing to beat TSS would need to decide what expansions were worth going back and farming for gear to beat TSS with. There would be like a dozen avenues of attack.
It'd be a great server, doubly so if there were a race going on rather than just one super-guild.

Loot inflation is going to be really bad come pop. I like the random loot and the non no drop loot but the bonus loot is just too much.

I feel like the people who keep saying there is too much loot haven't played much diablo or arpg games.
You SWIM in fucking loot in those games. You cherry pick the top dollar drops and things worth trading and leave countless piles of garbage on the floor.
Like in EQ right now I'm basically only looting things like fungi tunic/staff at this point....drops that sell for 1kr+. Everything else can just rot on the corpse.
The twink items and things people will want to use for new toons will always retain value. Sock that shit away in your bank or on an alt for luclin and beyond. People will make a killing selling +hp/mana gear for new toons. All your GeBs, fungis, BoC's will always have value. Go look on FV at their bazaar. You will see a fuckton of ntov and luclin era loot without level requirements selling for good money because it retains value.
This server is awesome and if you are complaining about too much loot you are probably an RMT farmer sad about their profit margin.

What monk gear is worth twinking up with on here? Necro isn't really lighting my fire the way it did 20 years ago. Too bad I didn't realize this during that huge bonus we had.
TStaff, Fungi Tunic, epic pieces at some point, +HP jewelry, bunch of Rat Ears...anything else worth buying in particular?

You can skip tstaff since the proc is for 55+? You can basically just go with a jade mace and a stave of shielding for leveling then get your epic.
Grab a fungi tunic, full set of +hp gear. Get yourself a peggi cloak and jboots and your mandatory dark elf mask for FashionQuest~

depends how hard in the paint you want to go. You could buy grey suede boots and spirit wracked cords and shit like that if you wanted to go wild.

Good. I can't wait for Luclin to absolutely destroy Kronolords. If Krono didn't exist, I'd agree that they need to cap the "bonus" loot tables a rare can roll to 1 extra at most. None of this quadruple+ loot going on right now. But, because Kronolord losers exist, I'm glad this server will pound their assholes come bazaar.
I did the same thing with my Paladin and regret it (realized I want to do a tank this go-around). I put him on the "back-burner" because melee are so gear dependent and I wanted to get my enc/mage combo to 60 to twink him out. But, I'm kind of regretting not just leveling him as far as I could while the bonus was on, instead focusing on the enc/mage.

That sounds good. I have a soft spot for TStaff doe. Back in 2004 when I returned to EQ after a 3 year break, I had to start from scratch with no guild and no one I knew still playing. I got to level 50ish and then managed to buy a TStaff by selling everything I'd found (TStaff proc is 50 I believe). It was an absolute game-changer. Suddenly I could reliably solo things, and ran around PoJustice bonking things with it throughout my early 50's. I'd never been able to solo with a pure melee class before that.

What level are you? We should group together. I haven’t had this much fun in years with EQ. (Probably Phinny or EQmac)

Adamantite club is another good monk twink option. It should be pretty cheap because it drops quite often. Much better ratio than something like a jade mace.
Also, Labor Day weekend should have a double XP bonus so if you're regretting your class choices there will be another good period to level up an alt soon. It will likely only be Friday to Monday, though.

Yeah, we'll be like 2-3 weeks into Velious by then, right? That should give me enough time to get the Paladin twinked out decent.
Speaking of, I still have cash burning a hole in my pocket if people want to sell me Paladin epic shit for krono. P2W and I don't even caaaaaare.

Well if you must have a Tstaff I saw 2 for sale yesterday for 3kr and 2kr +10k pp.
I sold one right after kunark launch the other week for 8kr so the price has plummeted hard.
And frankly 3kr for an item is basically nothing.
Sidenote: I'm making it a point now if someone complains in guild chat about the cost of gate potions or field of bone pots for racing OW targets I'm just putting them on ignore. When you can sell a single krono for 14k+ plat in this era there is no reason ever to cry about the plat cost for consumables.

Yeah, I sold two krono ingame as a price experiment and it like fully funded my necro and a friend's wizard getting HP jewelry and decent main/offhand/robes and a few thousand rat ears. I still have plenty of plat left over for monking. I farmed like crazy in week one and made dozens and dozens of krono, can't imagine how good it'd be if I'd been GDKP raiding for the past month. No raider should be complaining about pots for even one second.
