LF endgame Guild!

[brunow1337]

Yo! Me and my GF has been playing a lot of wow on and off ever since classic came out, and we did play some EQ in between but ended up playing tbc classic and eventually seasons of mastery. But we have now decided to quit seasons of mastery and wow in general for a long time, and we will be focusing on EQ and our goal is to get our class epics! Might be a bit high set goal, but that is what I have wanted to do ever since I started playing EQ in 2018 on the blue server. So what I want to achieve with this post is to find a guild who is willing to help us achieve this goal, but not only that but to show us how to play EQ both at low lvl and end game, how to farm gear, raid, explore all zones etc. My max lvl char on blue was 55 Wizard and on green we both had a lvl 45 Wizard + Druid. But we don't have those characters anymore because of some stupid reasons, but we are lvling new characters again Wizard + Druid and hope to find a guild to play with. :) We are both 27 and 25 years old and live in Sweden, so we are on EU and what I've clearly noticed is that EQ player base are majority US players, but it might work anyway as we are usually able to play after 15:00 our time until at least 23:00 on weekdays unless we have something to do besides go out with our dog :P but on weekends we can probably go much further and also start earlier depending on when we wake up. :)

So yea, hopefully there is a guild out there who is willing to take us with them and show us how to play EQ on a high lvl and do some serious end game raiding and grouping to get some really nice gear and eventually our epics!

Kind regards

I think the only non shit tier raid guild on Green is <Seal Team>, the rest of the server basically picks up their scraps. However, at level 27 and with no "ready to raid items" that they require, you are a long way off from being able to join as a raider, like a light-year away.

The key is to sell yourself and what you offer, not advertise all the things you expect a guild to do for you. This entire post reads like a lot of work for minimal gain. No 'endgame' guild would take on a project like that when they can have their pick of more experienced and prepared players. You definitely want to be looking more into newbie guilds while you learn the ropes.

Any guilds offering a mage epic pixel package?

[brunow1337]

Alright thx for the reply's! I totally get that a raiding guild would expect to invite members with a lot of experience, knowledge and ready to actually be too good help in raids. So maybe a high top end guild might not be for us right now, but it would be amazing to actually be there at some point and get to see all end game. Only thing I'm worried about is if we join another more casual guild, we might end up finding new friends to play with and not wanting to leave them behind but then get our selves stuck at not doing the high-end game content. I know it might be too much to ask for, but I mean eventually you would have 2 brand new players in your guild who are social and chill to play with ;), hyped to raid and willing to commit as much as we can to raiding and in general learn everything about the game :p.

[Naxy]

Kingdom, Force of Will I can attest are good people with raids.

[Taxijoe]

If you want a euro guild, <Dusk Till Dawn> is the guild for you since it euro and south east asian friendly. The members and leaders come from raiding guild on green so you ll find all the help and advise you need to level and play endgame content... plenty of time to see the world and decide which raiding guild interest you once you get both toons to 60 too.

[sajbert]

I advice that you look into raid attendence requirements of various guilds. Depending on your lifestyle it may be easy or impossible to meet that requirement.

Remember, raids in EQ isn't a scheduled 8pm wednesdays-type of deal. Raid windows are long and you're often expected to park your character at X location and leave it there during the whole raid window unless you're able to bind and gate there. I.e. raiding with your main means you may not be able to play your main much outside of raids.

[tadkins]

Raiding on this server just seems like a hopeless endeavor. If you're not lucky enough to be in the top guild of the server, you're basically at their mercy. The few raid targets that you might be allowed to have by the whims of the top guild are fought over fiercely by all the other guilds, and constantly losing the ability to even try a fight and win a piece of loot is just incredibly demoralizing.

I understand that most folks here seem to like that system, but as someone who just isn't that competitive, and just wants to experience some endgame zones, what chance does someone like me have? What place does that type of person even have on this server? These days all I seem to be allowed to do is serve as a taxi to the "real players" of the server, and what sort of future does that have?

[brunow1337]

Again thx for all the replies! Seems like we will be trying out Dusk Till Dawn as it seems like a great start for us as it's an EU guild and got a pm that they would like to have us. <3 But as some have said I do understand how EQ raiding works it's like making all wow bosses to world bosses and I do know the shit show in wow trying to kill the few world bosses wow have and especially on pvp servers having the opposite faction trying to kill you and if not you have your own faction trying too grief you in to wiping, so they can get the kill instead. However, I do know there are a lot of rules when it comes to raiding in P99 and tagging and all, but not sure exactly how it works. :p

This is literally why instancing was invented. Your problems are solved on TLP and in WOW.

I understand your frustration. However, it's also demoralizing to get a piece of raid loot and not really feel much sense of accomplishment because it was essentially dispensed to you by a raid loot welfare system (instancing). Classic EQ is all about high highs and low lows. Might not be for everyone, but it's why I always come back to it and lose interest in every modern mmo.

And I'm not a hardcore raider. I can pull my weight in one of the mid-tier semi casual raiding guilds (those who get the scraps) but I've kind of just accepted the fact there is certain content I'll never see, and that's okay with me. It sort of preserves some of the original mystique of the game. 20 years and I've still never been to sleeper's, oh well. Maybe some day.

[Ooloo]

I also just made the disturbing realization that p99 is older than Everquest itself was when p99 first launched. Yikes.

As someone who's always found it difficult to find inclusion in these games, I never saw instancing as an entirely bad thing. I really dislike confrontation and will typically move away from any area that has a player in it out of fear that they might say something.

Been in a couple guilds on this server, none of them were really willing to talk or help with anything.

I'd love to see more of this game, to find a good group of folks to enjoy it with. Would love to see Sleepers one day, but at the moment I struggle to see anything higher level than Unrest.

[Fammaden]

Your goal right now should be leveling.

[tadkins]

Doing just that right now...on Mage attempt probably #12 at this point. Already getting the creeping thoughts about how tough it's going to be later with the epic and everything, and finding a spot in a guild because mage is decently populated class along the level of enc, nec and dru.

[reznor_]

Play what you want. Get it to 60. That's the commitment a raid guild needs, doesn't matter the class. Can you get there? You don't have to play 24/7 to be a good raider, but you do need to accomplish having a decently geared 60 that can contribute. People in my guild get great loot all the time with raid attendance between 15-40%

I think you just haven't found the right guild yet, as for mage, just accept that epic probably won't happen. At 60 there really aren't that many mages, most quit or become cothbotd

[Hesseth]

<Safe Space> is always looking for more peps. We are doing NToV and VP dragons now. Very focused on gearing up the guild as a whole. If getting your epic is your thing we love helping out!

[Tunabros]

hard to be in an "endgame guild" if you are not max level yet

a good start will be getting level 46 first so you can access the planes

most guilds on the server do some kind of endgame raiding but others go more beyond

than others

i recommend force of will or kingdom ( <3)

[Twochain]

Lots of weird advice in this thread. I come w/ the correct advice for your goals.


Join a random leveling guild, and ONLY focus on getting level 60. Don't go out of your way to get that one cool item that gives +6 wis, don't go out of your way to go "check something out" if your main goal in the game is to get high end gear and get epics.

Make a EC mule, Don't freaking waste 3 hours of your time "looking for a spell" by moving your toon from your leveling zone to EC (Which can take 20 minutes easily) and then sitting there and spamming. There are awesome EC tunnel twitch channels, and on top of that, you always can just dump whatever u have to sell on your mule and get back to leveling. (Just ask somebody from a trusted guild for an xfer!! nobody is going to risk their toon with hundreds of hours on it for your 1k worth of items backpack)

You want levels because 1. The plat you need to get the minimum required shit to get into a raid guild (Which really, resist gear doesn't cost that much) comes EXPONENTIALLY FASTER AT A HIGHER LEVEL. 3 hours of farming sebilis can equate to 48 hours of farming fine steel swords off guards. And 2, because a raiding guild doesn't need a level 55 necro or something. Focus on level 60. Try to get what you can get on the way, but exp> anything else leveling up.

Now a lot of people are in here talking about experience blah blah blah they hold this weird elitist viewpoint of top end guilds. I'm here to tell you, if you proactively try to fuckin help the guild, you'll get in to the guild. Here's an example.

25% of the modern p99 raid consists of a raid leader begging someone to fucking do a random task. This could be as basic shit as, someone go pick up a DA idol in wc, or I need someone to tag this mob out and go die, Who can go do that? Which is often met by crickets, even in the most top end, hardcore raiding guilds. You know what a raid leader fucking loves to hear? "Hey this is X, I never did it before, or i'm completely new to raiding, let me know what to do and I can try to do it" Guarantee they get an instant hard on. If this can be you, you and your significant other will have absolutely no issue joining any top raiding guild, as long as you actually show up to the raids (It's really not that difficult to show up to 20-30% of raids)

Good luck out there, and let me know if you need any other advice.

(For the record - i'm not against exploring the game, it's one of my favorite things to do. But now I do it on my druid who has had god tier no drop gear since level 5 - and it's been a great experience)

That sounds great! However, we did join Dusk till Dawn for now, but I would not mind changing if we think that SS would be better for what we are looking for :)

Alright cool, thx for the advice, ill see what I can take with me from this. However, how will we have plat for spells? Feels like without actually farming specific mobs that drops weapons to vendor, we are kinda plat starved as spells starts to cost a lot after lvl 20. + at 24 I will make sure to buy the 2 runes required for my quad spell, so we can start quad kiting. We did start at lvl 16 last time, but it was a bit scuffed and lvl 24 worked better, but the real lvl to start quading as a duo is lvl 34 at that point we were quading 8 mobs at the same time.

[Fammaden]

Be judicious and selective about which spells you need to buy. You might have to farm some fine steel at some point though if you are really too broke to get the essentials.

Go back and buy the spells you skipped later though, many times in raids you'll be asked to use something that you never saw a use for in the past. Wizard does have a lot more useless spell lines than other classes though.

Yea, that's what we always do, we skip some spells that we never really use and take some that maybe might get used at higher lvl for some reason. But yea, wizards do have a ton of useless spells that I never buy.

I personally think the hardest two levels to afford spells is lvl 8 and lvl 12 due to the exponential increase. Prices taper from 16 on.

You should be able to afford your spells with something as easy to get as 2 to 3 HQ bear skins or 5 to 6 bone chip stacks. As you level so does the quality of loot you get. You shouldn't be traveling 3 hours to a "cash camp" at your level, especially since it'll most likely be taken by the time you get there.

People say level and not worry about plat because what you NEED comes naturally enough and you're wasting x amount of time trying to earn 50p per hour at your level when you'd be earning 10 times that come 50+

[Tunabros]

i feel bad for enchanters lol

their second/third set of spells go for tons of plat for such an early level

Highest level character I ever got on this server was a 53 wizard. I was always that guy who'd drop what he was doing to port someone in the guild who asked. Kept my bind points close to where I was hunting for that reason. Tried my best to be a team player in that way, and helped with other things too like transfers whenever folks asked.

Despite that, my last guild would laugh at me when I had questions (like what was the "plate room" in Kael). They would leave me totally hanging when I needed help. I struggled greatly at quad kiting, to the point where I'd die after every successful quad or two (damn those backstabbing birds). Never was successful in getting a KC strike force going for the Concussion spell quest.

For the most part I just wanted to be able to join the guild for some group activities, to be included for some exp, so I wasn't forced to have to crawl to 60 in vain through solo quad-kiting that I hated and honestly sucked at.

Really don't know what to do anymore. I just honestly don't feel like I have a place here. Never felt very strong in neither the game mechanics or the social departments. All I ever wanted was to see some of the cooler higher level zones and maybe earn something that can't simply be bought in the EC tunnel.

Wizard is a lonely class to play, it's a class that rarely is needed in a group setting and depends mostly on solo play to advance. I highly recommend looking into a class that suits your playstyle better. If you are seeking a more inclusive experience that gets you on the fast track to other more interesting content, I advise you choose something like a Cleric.

Honest question though, how does a wizard earn those cool clickies and group quest spells they need without having a group?

Heck, I only ended up getting my Staff of Temp Flux because my other highest char was a 45 mage and I basically cheated with him.

You'll need a Necro or an Enchanter for the KC and CoM pieces because the Human Skeletons need to be charmed to hand in the bottle. You'll definitely need help from a friend/guildie for that quest. Agreed, though. It's a pain.

You don't have to give up on your Wizard, you can play other more group-friendly classes to make friends and call upon them for a favour when you need help with something.

Yup I know. It was a pain because...
1. I don't know KC at all beyond the zone-in line, as the only times I've been there were to evac people. No one's asked me to join a group in there to come kill with them.
2. I don't know any enchanters or necromancers that would be willing to come help with that sort of thing, and the guildy ones would never respond.

There were other clickies I've tried to get too, like the pegasus feather cloak, but every time I go to SK there are coordinated groups of friends working the spawn and a loner like me doesn't have a chance there. I did manage to buy the JBoots MQ after camping the longsword sisters in OOT for days. Then there are things like the epic and the velious class clicky armors that are probably beyond me.

Meanwhile I look around and other folks seem to get people around them to bend over backwards to help them with everything and anything they need. I always wished for that kind of friendship and inclusion.

I've tried group-friendly classes in the past like paladin, cleric and rogue, but when looking for a group and being unsuccessful I was always at a loss of what to do.

Do you play on Blue at all? Join Yoremy Tessmia if so; they would be right up your alley

I joined P99 pretty late, and made my first Blue character about a year before Green was opened. I do have something of a presence there though, and was actually thinking of trying to start fresh as a necromancer (or maybe a shadowknight) on Blue as I haven't been able to get anywhere on Green.

I'll look them up. Thanks for the advice.

[Modwolf]

It sounds like most your issues come from unhelpful guildmates. I'd recommend finding a new guild.

Yeah definitely take a look. In my they’re like a better version of Castle and Dawn Believers (the latter no longer really exists). Lots of people throughout the level ranges and generally people are very helpful.

They have an “epic night” every Sunday where people can submit what they’re looking for on their epics and groups will get together to go take down whatever they can that happens to be up at the time. You could also probably organize people at other times pretty easily as well via in game or discord. They also do Kael nights if you need any drops for Velious class armor. Do spell farm nights in Skyfire as well for those 50+ Kunark spells that are NPC drop. And just general other pick up stuff like random crawls through Velks and Seb etc. one of the best and most organized/active guilds outside the hardcore raiding guilds that I’ve seen on P99.

Highest level character I ever got on this server was a 53 wizard. I was always that guy who'd drop what he was doing to port someone in the guild who asked. Kept my bind points close to where I was hunting for that reason. Tried my best to be a team player in that way, and helped with other things too like transfers whenever folks asked.

Despite that, my last guild would laugh at me when I had questions (like what was the "plate room" in Kael). They would leave me totally hanging when I needed help. I struggled greatly at quad kiting, to the point where I'd die after every successful quad or two (damn those backstabbing birds). Never was successful in getting a KC strike force going for the Concussion spell quest.

For the most part I just wanted to be able to join the guild for some group activities, to be included for some exp, so I wasn't forced to have to crawl to 60 in vain through solo quad-kiting that I hated and honestly sucked at.

Really don't know what to do anymore. I just honestly don't feel like I have a place here. Never felt very strong in neither the game mechanics or the social departments. All I ever wanted was to see some of the cooler higher level zones and maybe earn something that can't simply be bought in the EC tunnel.
Wizzie is the wrong class for grouping. It's a solo leveling (note solo leveling and not solo class) and raid class, really. The only advantage as far as grouping goes is that porting can get you to places fast if a group does want you and porting can also make you friends.

I could teach you how to quad kite as long as you have Jboots or SoW pots (you already have the flux staff).

Raiding isn't for everyone, in fact it's for few. Wiz epic would likely be very hard/impossible for you to get. Outside of clicky-robes there's not much else that'll help a wizard. Well there's the dragon and giant nukes but those are only relevant for raiding anyway. Raid items for a wiz is mostly for vanity's sake.

I have a wizard too. I regret making one as raiding isn't for me. If I can score a decent item to sell to fund a twink I'll reroll.

Kingdom for life/game balance and high end people and pixels. Hope you find what you're looking for.

[blacklotus]

Safe Space is good if you like living in Kunark farming epics for Shinko. If you want Velious loot go to ST/Kingdom/FoW

join FoW and become ST bitch



go away keel

[illuminary3]

The OG ST bitch being a bit hypocritical out here, someone from SS also saying y'all killing in NTOV now? any solo kills yet or still making your guildies farm you all your kunark wishlist first? SS run by the most toxic man-baby on the server, go back to blue pls

Kingdom third'ed here. I work nights and have a 5-year old full custody, yet I still manage to help my guildies when I can, and receive such help in return. Also, we are always looking for more wizards! If you are looking to reroll you can always park your wizzy someplace like ToV and play your alt until you hear that "POP" in comms.

One thing I've really noticed since joining Kingdom is that the individuals in the guild are very social. Help one guy with something and he's likely to help you next time you need something too. I've made actual in-game friends that reach out to gratz me in tells when an alt gets an epic piece for example, just by being helpful and a cool dude.

Shoutouts to Minmaxd, Balrogath, Patolomy, and Madouc!

[jadier]

That sounds great! However, we did join Dusk till Dawn for now, but I would not mind changing if we think that SS would be better for what we are looking for :)

Dusk till Dawn raids with Safe Space. So you can stay in DtD and go kill VP/NToV/Planes/OW Kunark Dragons/etc with Safe Space & DtD whenever a pop happens to happen while you're on. Well, once you get 46+ or 55+ depending on target.

Yup I'm actually a ranger now. I have my wizard in Dial a Port so I can make steady income and one day buy all the expensive stuff i'll eventually need on my ranger, like a swarmcaller.

Kingdom sounds nice and I would give them a try but I don't think you guys would invite a low level. Beyond that, I've pretty much burned bridges with two guilds on the server for being snarky, mean and unhelpful. I felt no sense of comraderie or belonging in them. A third was just kind of...there, and didn't really do anything. Another guild I simply won't join because they constantly spam-message my unguilded characters. Don't think I'm going to find my forever home in a mass-invite guild.

My 4th guild, Dial a Port, is actually really cool. Folks are chill and guildchat is fun at times. But they're not going to muster epic help anytime soon.

It's honestly difficult to find a good home here.

What do you need clarification on?

[Tunabros]

What do you need clarification on?

what did you mean by "send messages to non guilded characters"?

I found every guild I been in on green so far awesome asides from Venerate.

But you know, hard to join a "guild" if you only have low levels or characters you don't

want to invest in. I talked with you before and you seemed to be pretty picky tbh.

You can't really just join a guild and expect everyone to just help you right off the bat.

They are people, not your servants. Sometimes, you just got to open your mouth if

you really want help. On my first week with kingdom, I tried asking for help to

complete my vindi druid head gloves and got like zero responses. I sent a tell to

the GL asking if anyone can help and he got tons of people to help me (thanks tani!)

But, don't ask for help and end up being a lazy bum that never responds to other

people's requests. I don't play much but if you get your character a higher level, I

really reccomend Kingdom if you want a social enviorment with a taste of high end

raiding. If you want to be a bit more casual, try force of will, castle, or safe space.

[tadkins]

what did you mean by "send messages to non guilded characters"?

My decently leveled characters that do not have a guild constantly got tells from a certain guild on the server trying to get me to join. I'm trying to find a guild where I can make friends and not have to fear group content, and a guild that doesn't seem to actually want to talk to me first probably isn't going to be it. They don't know at all who I am, I don't know who they are, and I just don't see myself having deep comraderie with a group like that.

For every guild I join, I respond to requests all the time. I would port people, I would help them with transfers, I would do all those little things whenever I could. I do my best to show that I'm a team player. Then after a while I build up the courage to ask for help with something, and basically every time I'd be met with crickets. As if all of the effort I put in previously meant nothing.

Maybe I'm expecting too much out of a guild? But then what about those guys who get to run together with a guild group off on some fun adventure? I've ported whole groups like that before to some place like WL or CS, fun high level places full of excitement and profit, and wished in my heart of hearts that I could join them. That's all I've ever wanted out of this game.

Yo! Me and my GF has been playing a lot of wow on and off ever since classic came out, and we did play some EQ in between but ended up playing tbc classic and eventually seasons of mastery. But we have now decided to quit seasons of mastery and wow in general for a long time, and we will be focusing on EQ and our goal is to get our class epics! ...

Do you see a future with your girlfriend? Because I cannot tell you how many relationships I have seen end-game guilds ruin.

Lol how? And yes I do see my future with her as we have been together now for over 2 years, and she moved in with me, and we even bought a dog xD so yea this relationship is stable. But even without that, it sounds odd that a guild would ruin someone's relationship, especially with her playing with you. Sure, I would understand if she didn't play games or something because that is quite normal that girls leave their bf's because they spend too much time playing games.

That's probably very true, or else you just won't get a long. Simple.
