It was a good couple of hours for me to reach my destination, actually. I went from Cabilis all the way to FV, took that boat, waited at the docks in BB, ran through EC on my way to NRo, and then got on the barge to Velious. Went LD on Icebreaker at -18000 (East/West) in Iceclad and had to swim all the way to the SW island, then ran all the way through to WL to get my WL tooth. Finally, I parked at the Kael ZL so I could go to the open Kael raid.

Good exercise. [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

Exercise....

some of my oldest and fondest EQ memories involve riding on, or waiting for that damned OoT boat.

Oldest as in taking up the greatest length of time, right? Damn those boats can be slow!

Custom content, speed boats?

Perhaps my memory is fuzzy, but on Live, weren't the boats considered named mobs? I remember my bard practicing his begging and intimidation skills with various results. A successful intimidation caused it to stall momentarily. But on Project 99, I seem not to be able to click anywhere on a boat to "target" it. It seems to be an object that is programmed to move in a certain pattern. *shrugs*

Take those little rowboats you can steer and code them at max bard speed. Make them spawn more places. [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

with sow/levi i still think running to firepots is quicker then waiting on the boat.


long as you're near oasis.

I agree but they should be items quested not spawnable. It wouldnt be EQ if you didnt have to run all over the world for a want that only had 5 charges on it to summon boats.

Should come with the potential consequence of falling off and losing all your gear.

How about randomly spawning level 60 sharks that come to eat you?
