Hey ya'll, Been reading here and playing around in game. Played some on live and a couple of TLP, solo, molo and box. I think I might try to settle on a TLP for a while. However, I've noticed some things that I can't seem to find answers to easily. I'm having trouble finding expansion specific but modern information. For example, I was not aware that parcel would work on Rizlona. Would have been nice to know before I ran to the tunnel to try to shop and found there really aren't that many people there. Also Origin AA works. Not a big deal, but I just can't seem to easily find as much info that is TLP specific. Also noteworthy to say that looking for gear options at the beginning feels near impossible. Most everything I see actioned is 500pp plus. I'm running around with some woven just like the old days, but I can't seem to find a way to look up level specific equipment for a TLP since there is no defiant gear. Obviously, lack of a bazaar is really a big part of this. Another issue is that I saw in general chat that apparently disc books like elbow strike are only available in Freeport. Whether this is true or not I don't know but being an evil race is a sticking point. TLDR is there somewhere that has more TLP specific info due to the differences between live? P.S. Glad to see EQ is still going. First played back in 99 and for some time after. Probably my favorite. I can't believe how well they got the races and classes for the first 3D MMO.
https://www.everquest.com/guides/eq-what-is-a-progression-server https://everquest.allakhazam.com/wiki/EQ:Progression_Servers The what expansion do we get this section on the zam link should help a bit Some of the info in the first link is not up to date especially the current expansion info possibly some of the other stuff changed a bit as well However many parts are still correct and provide a lot of good information. This one in particular should help the bold and underline are mine for emphasis Q: Will you be removing changes made to game functions? In most cases, no. For instance, the UI will be current, you will not leave your items on your corpse when you die, coin will not have weight, and the advanced loot system will be in place. If it is a modern system that is enabled on live servers for everyone, it will be in place. Features that were added with expansions, such as the Bazaar (Luclin) and armor dye (LoY) are scheduled to unlock when those expansions are unlocked. The following will be enabled day one: The Raid window Maps Augmentations AAs (most abilities are restricted by level or expansion) Saving recipes in tradeskill containers Audio Triggers Many Achievements (but not kill or collect achievements) Hotbar revamps (but not item clicking in bags) Guild rank customizations For items there are sites you can search by class, level and expansion here is one https://eqitems.com/ Good Luck hope this helps a little
Thanks Barton! I have seen all of those except the eqitems, which looks like it's going to help a ton. I would add, I got the achievement last night for killing 100 froggies in Innothule, and the pasted info above says that kill achievements are NOT live day one. Not that it matters. Just adds to my confusion. Part of what made me decide to ask was, I was considering working some tradeskills to fill the early void but they seem just as expensive as ever for the mostly lame gear you can make. Knowing that Velious is unlocked on Rizlona, I can only assume insanely better gear is available, though out of my price range. This started me looking for TLP specific info for leveling. Other than leveling guides that really just focus on where to level up, I did not find anything specific about questing or gearing for TLP. I didn't say it specifically, but part of the issue is that, when I (inevitably) look at Allakhazam, all comments and info seems to be more germaine from 5-15 years ago. While true that the info maybe hasn't changed in that long of a time, in some cases it's been..... less than accurate for me. I had hoped I was missing a site or two that someone had decided to focus on current TLP specific info for those playing in the last couple of years. Anyway, it was worth a shot to ask. I appreciate what you've shared!
Can try some of these Leveling https://www.almarsguides.com/eq/leveling/classic/ Other https://www.eqprogression.com/ Luclin expansion drops in a few days (2/3/21) so that is something to keep in mind. Prices should drop on some of the Classic, Kunark gear and the Bazaar comes online with Luclin which will make looking for gear and the cheapest price easier Can also check out the gear pages and other things here problem is not all the info will be accurate. https://wiki.project1999.com/Main_Page
You know, I wasn't thinking the bazaar would be around until later, but you are of course correct. As long as I can get to the bazaar, it's just a waiting game. Now to remember how to get to The Bazaar the old way pre POK.... lol Progression Primer: The Shadows of Luclin | EverQuest
