New to P99!

[madcowmisha]

Hail and well met everyone!

I have been a long time mmo player, from vanilla eq to wow and everything in between?! My capt at work brought this site/game to my attention, so being a HUGE vanilla eq fan, I had to jump onboard! I'm still currently in the process of getting the game/emulator installed on my laptop, but once I can launch into the game, my plans are to make a Barb Shammy, my all time FAV from back in the day! So here's my Q for yall - any advice, words of wisdom yall can give me to make my transition easier back into the game??

Please and thanks!!

Sounds great! Q - can I still utilize the database on Alla's etc.. for quest info, mobs, etc..??

[Comapavik]

You can - if you know what will and won't be outdated. Some of the info is good if the zones haven't been revamped. I use Alla for mobs and quests, and http://www.thesilversandbox.net/p1999/main.php for spells/tradeskills. If something is wrong on Alla I usually just google <whatever I want> classic everquest. The wiki also has a lot of good info. http://wiki.project1999.org/index.php/Main_Page

Thanks for a link to the Wiki! I can see that'll be a very useful site!!

The wiki has most of the maps you'll ever need. But if you can't find the one you want, http://www.eqmacwiki.com/eqatlas/atlas.html has all of them. They're the classic maps that I used to use back in the day. Real life savers :)

Only other thing is don't get discouraged if the area around Halas seems under-populated...because it just is. Most of the lower levels stick to the Freeport side of things. I was able to group just fine in Blackburrow back in the day, you'll just have to be a little pro-active in finding a tank!

Have fun and good luck!

Ahh EQ Atlas! How I missed you! lol... And thanks for the beginning tip!!

Ok... I "dled" a clean version of Titanium, installed, and then did everything on this site and the eqemulator site... but when I go to log in, I get a time out error?! I checked the faq, and I either screwed up somewhere, or the log in server is down?! Can someone please verify this for me?? A quick text to 850-502-6907 would help tons!!!

[madcowmisha]

Could it be that I used a "dled" version of Titanium?? From the file description, it talked about using this on the actual eqemulator site, and the steps required to do so?!

[madcowmisha]

So I have NO idea where my error is?! I've gone back and double checked all my files etc... still no idea?!

Are you sure you properly changed where the login server is going? Your shortcut needs to be redirected to the emulator server and not trying to go to a Sony server.

Heya!
Welcome aboard! I just joined a few weeks ago, and am having a blast! Try using the tool from the page, it fixed all of the problems I was having.

Welcome, and thanks for playing on P99!!:cool:

Ok.. I've made it to level 5, did my clicky necklace quest, and have most of my spells atm. Any advice on what to do now/where to go? From what I've read, I need to head into BB and just kill gnolls on the upper level and save the teeth for a quest in Halas, which if repeated, can get me up to 10ish?! What then?

[deneauth]

After BB your best best would be either Willowisps on Kerra Isle in Erud's Xing or you could do Unrest which is a lower lvl dungeon in Faydwer. The other option is killing Caiman in the Oasis. Erud's Xing will be the closest exp spot for you but you need a magical weapon to hit the wisp's unless you are a pet class.

See my sig for a full hunting guide but absolutely keep doing teeth to 10, also pop out to QH and kill rabid wolves, get their hides and turn them in to Priestess Caulria for xp/plat and a spell that sells for a few more.

If you're soloing as soon as you get SOW you can start kiting mammoth calfs in EF, there's two static spawns on the Tundra in front of Bandl and two/three wanderers N of the static spawn that are on 6 m timers IIRC. SOW, cast Tainted Breath to kick things off, run S along the walls til you don't hear the footsteps, wait 3 secs, cast Sicken, rinse and repeat til dead. At 19 do the same for Mammoths til 28 :)

Welcome! As you can see this is "classic" eq, basically 1999-2000 era, but without all the bugs and annoying things they fixed over time. Its also without zone upgrades, so Alla's will not be of help for some zones (Paw, CT, Nro/Oasis/Sro).
