So I've been working on a site for project 1999 boss mobs. I always wanted to do this site back when I played EQ classic, but didn't have the know how. I did back then host a forum called realpoor.com for the server Tarew Marr. I was actually addem who came up with eq.realpoor.com which was the classic loot list which was clean, but hard to update. Anyways ive spent a week adding a the loot list and some research recipes, but figured I would update information every day and it would grow to something useful.

The website is http://www.pro1999.com
The forum is http://forum.pro1999.com

I also setup a few forwards to get to other very useful resources for project 1999.
Auction tracker is http://auction.pro1999.com
Wiki is http://wiki.pro1999.com

I just quickly added the forum up there today, I haven't customized it too much, but will be doing that within the next few days. Let me know if you like the idea, if not i'll take it down and focus on information.

[stayne]

Looks good man! Very clean and easy to use. Forums don't work though...500 internal server error.

[realpoor]

anyone else having forum issues? i just changed added it as a subdomain so it may still be going through DNS servers...

[Cheech]

Very nice!

[jetviper21]

pm me lets do something

[realpoor]

will have to fix forum.pro1999.com to forward right tomorrow...until then use http://pro1999.com/forum/index.html

[Zereh]

Looks like you're off to a great start! And yay for all the spell research info.

I was able to access the forums but only after I registered for the site; when trying to access it without being registered I get the 500 internal error (same as Stayne).

good idea bro... will bookmark

[Ingrum]

Wow, this is awesome. Keep up the good work and let us know if you need help collecting info or anything.

[oldhead]

Could you add a link for each boss mob that gives strategies for it?

[realpoor]

Tell me what strats y'all want and I'll add em.

[Ingrum]

I was thinking that as well, oldhead.

Also, some trivial lists for the researching would be awesome. I can try to find those out for you if you wish.

[girth]

Forgot how much work I did on that wiki back when I had a job. Good times.

[realpoor]

Ill try to update the trivial lvls tomorrow if you could give me a list of those, all I know is on my mage im at 66 research and have researched all my spells up to 24 without possibly getting a skillup (used my pts to get my research up that high).

Also what other information on other classes would you like? I've always played casters so not sure what good information would be good for priests/tanks/melee

[Jinkeybhoy]

Looks really, really good so far!

One suggestion I do have though is if you have the time, add a newbie section where it outlines various quests, provides maps, camps, items etc. for new players just starting out or players trying to get a feel for classic.

Other than that, the site looks great, keep up the good work!

[Mcbard]

Nice work! :)

[Messianic]

My main suggestion is to focus on mob statistics - even research info is fairly easy to find (Crys.org, with the exception of trivial levels), but mob info in p1999 - hp, max hit, spells cast by caster mobs, possibly with calculations based on parsing of relative AC for mobs in classifications like "Heavy AC," "Moderate AC," "Low AC," etc.

One of the things i'd love to be able to know is exactly how much damage I need to do to bring a mob down, or the kinds of things it'll throw at me, or the exact percentage drop rates of certain items...

Great work though - looks like it has real potential. Like our own p99 version of Allakhazam =)

Quick write up for dark elf newbies if you wanna add to the site because I'm bored at work :P

1-4
From Neriak entrance, head northeast (not sure of the actual dir, but speaking as if your back is facing Neriak) to the "newbie log". Tons of spiderlings (social aggro, be careful as there's lots of 'em), decaying skeletons, black wolves, and moss snakes to fight. Save all spiderling silks and bone chips to sell to players in EC for up to 5pp per stack.

Never did any quests here.. anyone want to contribute?

4-7
Still in Nektulos, past the bridge in the NW corner near the EC zoneline there is an undead camp with skeletons and zombies which are great exp if you have a group or capable of strong solo (nec, enc). Lesser mummy occasionally spawns here so watch out. You can also fight skeletons, tree snakes, and black bears a bit north of the newbie log. Pretty much just roam the area with the occasional undead camp killing.

7-10
Nektulos can take you to 8 but it's kinda slow. I'd recommend going to EC to kill blues/light blues and work up to the evens/yellows if you can handle them or join orc groups. It's also really easy to get buffs like mage DS, clarity, SoW etc. from players here. Be nice and only ask once, but these can really help you fly through the levels.

Also, if you're determined, you can get these buffs at level 1 and lay waste to west freeport newbie mobs and then do pumas/easy EC stuff and just do that instead of Nektulos.. really depends on how often you can buffs though.

I would need more information on which mobs you want this on, and what information you want me to attack to that mob.

[girth]

I tried adding more specifics to boss abilities but my stuff was removed.

Fixed, there was an approval process setup, enabled registered users to not have that approval process.

Macro Info that every Bard should see:

In order to cut the number of keystrokes/clicks it takes to start each song in half, make yourself 8 macros, as below:

/stopsong
/cast [1-8]

And then bind the keys you want to start your songs with to those 8 macros.

To cut down even further on keystrokes, you can make two-song macros as well:

/stopsong
/cast 1
/pause 30
/stopsong
/cast 2

Activating this macro will cause you to stop your current song, start song 1, and then after a wait of 3 seconds (the casting time for all songs), start song 2. Just make another for songs 3 and 4, and you can twist 4 songs with 2 keys!

Note: If you find your latency is especially low, you may need to increase the pause to 31, in order to avoid cutting off the first song of the macro.

[Engraverwilliam]

I like what I see. It reads like a portal to this site and the wiki. very clean

For better bard Macros:


Page2Button6Line1=/stopsong
Page2Button6Line2=/pause 31, /cast 2
Page2Button6Line3=/stopsong
Page2Button6Line4=/pause 31, /cast 5

Formatting is a little poopy because it's a copy/paste from my .ini file, but it basically combines the pause and cast lines and puts them on the same line. Plus I don't think pause 30 works, pretty sure pause 31 is required.

[Scrooge]

Very nice resource, props!

[Ridic]

Cool site - i'll keep an eye on it :) - Suggestion though: Make loot tables / location markers for smaller bosses. For example, Maestro. I know Zam doesn't have his old loot table.

Yo dude, I absolutely do not want to get any emails from the forum, ever. I got one on your reply. I am sure I'm retarded and can't find the way to turn it off, but I don't see it. This should be off by default.

Post-subscription checked by default? was set to YES...changed it to NO. So you will still be able to subscribe if you want. The option is there when you make the post.

[jimmygarr]

Good stuff! Will you eventually include classic quest and item info? Thats a lot of work but its super hard to find good 1999 era information, would be sweet to have a one-stop-shop kinda page. Again, super sweet site!

[realpoor]

For that type of stuff ill add it as long as someone can get me the information.

Could prolly start a quest thread where people could post which quests they've successfully completed with a link to Allakhazam's (or whatever their source was). Maybe a separate thread for those which didn't work?

;) Z

[Mcbard]

I went through and added all of the original 1.0 write ups from Allakhazam's to the forums.

Great site! :)

[Dr4z3r]

Plus I don't think pause 30 works, pretty sure pause 31 is required.

Pause 30 definitely does work. You might cut yourself off if you were running at 0ms latency, but with any realistic connection pause 30 is just fine.

CT flux ae doesnt dispell. And his loot table is fubar'd he doesnt drop most of that stuff you have listed.

CT drops:
Robe
Shield
Bloodfire
Dawnfire
AoN
Bard flute
Druid 2hb
Bladestorm (no longer drops, but 2 did on this server)
Soul leech
Darkwood trunk
Puppet strings

Inny drops everything that dude posted except for Eye of Innoruuk, I've never seen one of those in about 40 or so kills, dont think it's in game yet.
Also it's Rod of Infinite Thought, not Unbound Thought.
And White Dragon Scale, not White Dragon Hide. (for vox), Scimitar of the Mistwalker no longer drops, their is 2 on the server.

but overall, pretty badass little site there, good work!

[Brad_mo123]

Maybe someone already mentioned this and if so im sorry but many things like some SK and ranger spells are not out untill velious that are listed. Was this intentional? Im sure the kunark things were and thats fine becuase we shouldnt be all that far off from it but the velius things... would be nice if they were taken off or have a section dedicated for velius, something so people dont get confused, otherwise this site is a lot like others out there. Adding in Solro armor quests would be nice also. Good site but can be so much better.

[Taluvill]

CT drops:
Bladestorm (no longer drops, but 2 did on this server)


Only one bladestorm dropped. your talking about that kantana of steel sleet right? Oly got the only one on the server.

[Gwence]

there's 2

Thanks! Updated all of this information with the exception of the druid 2hb. Is this thing really in game? If so what are the stats? Allakhazams tells me +100 mana which seems high for a classic item.

Keep updates/suggestions rolling and we'll try to implement them.

[yaaaflow]

Oly and Wonton both have a bladestorm. CT dropped em both on the same kill I believe.

This was done intentionally, because the lists we got had all of them listed. If you look at one of the columns for spells it should list the era they were released (classic/kunark/velious) and I don't see much point in editing the articles to remove them, only to have to end up re-adding them down the road.

Keep suggestions/corrections coming!

hey Addem!

ROOTUS! glad to see you on here, who you playing?

Love the auction tracker, Keep up the good work!!!

Thats jetviper, hes also the one who brought you the magelo, ill add a link on monday when I get back to work.

Realpoor was awsome in it's day! TM boards ;p

Who were you on the boards? I haven't even been on realfek.com to see if anyone is playing.

update things

I appreciate all your feedback and will be updating all your suggestions when I can.
