Levant is extremely useful. Many times casting Levant is far faster than traversing a zone.

Knowing evac points of major/frequented zones is huge.

i wouldnt say huge. ive never used an evac on blue/red in order to save myself travel time. its about the journey afterall.

Levant at night? I am not so sure about that one. But i guess its possible. Maybe i only ever happened to cast levant at night and shrug

The ranger +hit is off for bows. If it is still the default value, then it is low. The default value is set and determined for preparing for future AA and all the + hit effects. It needs to be upped a bit. Also the AC check for full hit on it is bad. Its very rare you get higher % of dmg on bow, so most of the time your hitting for about 50% or less of your max damage and it will never be viable until updated.

Wait... so does that mean raptors are viable for quadding again? hallefrickenlujah. Charm Kiting for the first time ever in my EQ career in Perma pits was a horrendous experience lmao

I'd say most characters have travelled through these zones before several times both on live and on P99.

You should use Egress to travel. It saves time. Not much fun about running through OT for the 100th time for me though... Maybe you're different.

im a simple hobbit, i just run around norrath all day.

[SamwiseRed]

i mean who doesnt enjoy traversing western karana for the 100th time? so peaceful.

That makes sense. I never understood why bow damage doesn't have the same algorithm as primary/secondary on p99 but could not recall how it functioned on live. Fix please!
