But why ?

Not OP, and I did mostly bigger boxxing using other people's accounts. So during GoD/OoW I started a channel on luclin where some friends of mine accross the different high end guilds just to bullshit but also would talk about macroquest and down raid mobs together and sell the loot, we all had access to each others accounts. Like the armor drops in qvic sometimes would be only a few actual people playing each 6 to 12 boxxing. I never did more than 12 but I could see that as a potential reason for it.

That’s a lot of words to say “pizza rolls”

What are you poor? If you can't afford to 24 box just because it's fun maybe it's time you rethink your life choices.

I boxed a bit on live, but did the test server because I was cheap. I just wanted to see how it would work with a full group and it was a pain in the ass. Just to set shit up, auto follow worked like shit. I even had a program running to help and it was still a pain in the ass. Once you had the group all there and ready it was ok. But if you had to move again uggh...No thanks.

There's definitely a decent size learning curve of figuring out what to use and when. For movement specifically, they have like 4 different tools to use and all of them and their pros and cons and their usage is dependent on the situation at hand just due to EQ being a century old. And there's really no centralized document that explains any of it either, even though most of the tools have been around for 3/4ths of a century.

Fucking Bee island is cockblocking me from aquiring my Paladin weapon. I hate PoSky so fucking much. They must be autistic or retarded or most likely both to make that the main content at end game.

I'm on a standard pali / enc / rng and it gave me a little trouble. I think you are supposed to kill them in a certain order and I just got jumped before I was ready and had no idea what I was doing.

I had a couple salty runbacks but eventually just charming one and healing like crazy I got the bixieish one and then I think one more after.

I need to go back and do it a few more times but I've not been in the mood for it.

If you are any kind of enc or bard combo by far the easiest strat for bee is:
invis to back side
paci one of the little outside bees from max range - shouldn't draw agro if done correctly and/or range extension focus
from through the cog pull the big middle bee which will also pull the other small bee
charm the small bee

Second best if you're not a charmer:
Invis to back side
Use whatever split pull tools you have to get the center big bee alone in back (root/FD, paci, etc.)
Fight the boss sequence alone behind the cog

You'll never be fighting more than one bee at a time and the small bee even after nerfs is basically enough to solo the boss sequence.

The middle bee, that is bigger, is always the one that leads to the boss. If you kill either of the outside bees they split into 2 or 3 and can make things hectic if not prepared.

If you have FD you just pull the two little bees to a far corner of the island, slow them if you have slow, then pull big bee, slow it. Then just kill big bee and flop. Little bees reset to position, big bee never does. Just sit there and go through the cycle.

You can also just pull them, go all out on the big one on the edge and then jump the fuck off and run back.

All you have to do is pacify all three bee's. You can paci the middle one and the one on the left from behind the gear. You can then walk out and paci the last bee. After that bee is paci'd just pull the middle bee. You don't need to kill the other two bee's at all.

This is also a great method if you're not strong enough to kill all 4 boss bees in one nonstop sequence. When the second boss spawns after killing the first, that spot becomes his spawn point and he will never path back to the front. At this point, even if you die, you can rebuff and invis back and only ever have to deal with the boss bee alone.

Killing the stuff is the least of your problems. Some shit never drops and the zone sucks so fucking hard the challenge is keeping your sanity and not questioning wtf you’re doing playing in this clown world.

Works good!
