Yea. I do suspect I’ll hit a brick wall but it’s ok for now. I put the heal proc augs in but they may not heal enough yet or not enough spell power/etc to ever give me an “outlast the boss” option. I’ve got to burn or die so far until it’s on farm mode via gear or AA.

interestingly “dirty fighting” or whatever shit AA it is works on every boss so far. Super interesting to see them run in circles giving me almost 30 seconds to beat on them. But it’s also annoying as fuck since I have to constantly run and turn to chase their random pattern.

the 3 class combo thing really is a blast. It’s less about old EQ problems and more about how do I make this play style work. Pure fun and experimentation.

Not sure how many expansions this thing will go but maybe at some point you just need 2-3 people for the current top tier? That could be fun.

edit: with twink gear, auto combat while I sleep/work, and AA bonus xp. I’d just roll up a new combo and be back in the game in under 1 week.

If the boss runs arounf like a chicken with its head cutoff, turn on autocombat. You can still fire off your AA and discs but it will follow and stick to the boss like ants on candy. Then when hes done running around simply turn it off. Or just keep it on /shrug.

I seem to get a lot of (I think its) Dlldx9 something or other video crashes with auto combat. Anyone have this problem?

Its macroquest. Its never really run well with EQ emulators. There's still a lot of bazaar crashes too. Probably due to MQ type functions being used by default (enemies on map etc..).

It seems to work better if I minimize the window and turn off my monitor and walk away. When I'm setting up a waypoint loop and wanting to observe if there's any places i'm getting stuck or whatever that's when I get the crashes.

Where are you setting up? I never bother with waypoints.

Its my first time playing around with it and I have it running the slime tunnel in DN. I made a dwarf which is stupid frustrating in that zone with the step ups into buildings or exiting the rat tunnel, so I'm kind of just testing feasibility.

Easier way for slimes is to just set slimes as your primary target at the bottom of the first tab. If you get attacked it'll still respond (looking at you bug trap) but it wont actively hunt anything but slimes.

I might change race honestly. I always played a DE and wanted to switch things up but god damn the mobility on that stumpy fuck is gimped.

Do rat men instead. Way more of them and once you clear to one area the last area is respawning already. There will come a time where with enough AA you basically kill shit too fast and have to wait like a min for respawns but I found that this place with auto combat is IMO the best. No large doors, which auto combat hates, and no Z issues which sometimes it has issues with.

At 55 you can do UP as well. Its like blue-yellows there and overall way more mobs, about the same AA per hour if not better, and money there is obv better too. Only issue I ran into UP with is the tunnel up north? sometimes the AC will take you in there, like all the way to the back and I think this is too far for AC to see other mobs, maybe Z axis issue? Anyway, you will be there for a few min until the cave starts to respawn and it finally tracks mobs that take you away from tunnel. But this is rare, usually it stays in the wide open with no issues.

Yeah I'll try different spots. I'm at something like 400 AA and fresh 55 with mostly classic gear so I still need to unlock luclin. Just tryin to get some of the tedious early AA out of the way so I can do unlocks and then get some plat in UP.

Pfff rats MAYBE only good if you can headshot/assassinate. Slimes are lazy mans if you want to watch youtube and just check AA's once in awhile. And they give way more AA then you'd think due to the splits.

Keep an eye on hotbars etc.. Had all my clickies get changed into different items on my hotbar ealier. Noticed right before i started pulling sleepers area and had to read them to the hotbar. IMagine they might be doing item shuffling in the database or something and IDs changed.

I used to do slimes when I was actually playing. Or with a mage pet on THJ I would park where the main slime dude spawns along with like 4 others and just sit there AFK for days farming AA. But with auto combat you have to wait for respawns, with the rat men you barely do. I mean, IDK which is better AA/hr but jsut by feels with auto combat the rats are better IMO. Either way you want to GTFO out of there and up to UP ASAP because not only are you getting AA but mad cash too.

BTW Janx Janx , invite Funcom when you get a chance bro.

Stopped farming DN for afk AA once you find out how much plat you also get out of doing it in UP.

Also solod Zeb this morning. Wonder if his boss adds are randomized for heath or if its just buggy as shit. Grummus had like 20x LESS health than Yelloweyes when I did him.

On THJ I was a paladin with slay undead so Grummus was an easy win. Yelloweyes always seemed like a high damage high hp mob with no special abilities. I forget what the alternatives were but yelloweyes was good because he wasn't one of the instant losses for me like Akheva and one other (I forget)

I switched to rats and surprisingly it's way slower exp than setting a single waypoint that doesn't have you leaving the slime tunnels. I'm pretty undergeared so the rat dominators and masters take a while to kill whereas the slimes are very fast. It's something like 39aa/hr compared to 17 on rats. For what it's worth.. more money in rats than slimes though.

I'm feelin pretty good about hitting up ntov tonight or tomorrow and start working to open luclin for UP.
