Restocking Storage: Using Manifest Feature of Layout Editor Here is a video that might help you with restocking your storage. Enjoy!
I always dither about, largely because I have no idea how much of anything I'm gonna need until it's time to do a big project (fortunately, I have tons of alts on each server, so I'm guaranteed at least 10 of everything, if each one's done his/her job of getting something ;->), but I can see the value of having tons of stuff in advance to draw on, especially if it's something you can't make later. :-/ Clever feature! Uwk
Ocarinah, thank you soooo much for this tools and tips thread. So much useful information posted here. They really should sticky this thread.
Wow, I never thought of using dungeons to store stuff as I thought they were removing them from the game, no?
Not removing them - just removing whatever perqs made them great for powerleveling. They're still in there!
I just tried to store stuff in one and lost all the stuff I stored Ok nm - seems I entered at the end of the dungeon not where I put the stuff - very strange
Thanks for doing this - I'm in the process of setting up dungeons for my storage as well However, I don't seem to have the Manifest option in my editor - is that a version issue perhaps or am I just not seeing how to bring it up?
Using JesDer's EverQuest II House layout Editor, Version - 1.7.2.17 http://www.eq2designers.com I am not sure if it is a menu option on older versions instead of a button. All the versions I have used had it as a button.
Who's responsible for stickying things these days? There's stuff in the Player Support forums we'd like stickied, too, but... :-/ Uwk
Anyone one know if there is a way to move the starting location? Every time I try the game just hangs until I hit "esc"
The starting location of a dungeon? There should be two items there, that look like portals: one's red, one's green. I can't remember which is which, but one is the Exit and one is where you come in. Both can be moved to wherever you want them. So, once you've moved the Entrance (I like both in the same room, frankly), you'll come in there next time. Uwk
I only see one green portal when I enter and when I try to move it it seems like I lock up until I hit escape. There is no exit portal I must be doing something wrong
It could also depend on the original layout of the dungeon, 'cause every one I've ever tried, there are both portals...sometimes it's a matter of tracking down the other one at the far end of it, but it's nice they often provide the layout idea on the map. Other times you have to use the "pick up this thing here from this list" function of the dungeon, rather than going over to the object, picking it up, and dragging it over to where you actually want it. It's one of the reasons I don't often use dungeons for storing stuff; I honestly find it really confusing and a massive PitA. Usually, if I'm gonna do an actual warehouse, I'll use one of my numerous Mistmoore places, and if I have to really accommodate the straining seams of an over-stuffed place, I'll toss in a couple of expanders. :-/ Probably using the Dungeon Maker system is a lot cheaper, but I just can't wrap my head around it for whatever reason. :-/ Uwk
I think they might have turned this feature off - I can't drag the item, I can't select move and there is no exit point. It's all good - works so far and keeps my mistmoores from getting out of control with "stuff"
Oh, good lord, if they got rid of that feature, that's it...that was one of the few things keeping me sane with the dungeon stuff. X-P Uwk
You can't just move the portal. You have to actually pick it up into the moving crate, then set the new entrance down where you want it. Make sure you place it exactly where you want it too, because once it's down, the only way to move it again is to pick it back up.
Huh, I'll try that but I don't see a moving crate. Ok that worked - thanks Merriel - whew, was driving me nuts!
Probably works like in a house; the minute you pick something to put in the Crate, one will appear. :-/ It's been so long since I've done that stuff myself with a dungeon, so where it winds up is anyone's guess... ;-> Uwk
