Cool video. I liked the banking tip.

You mention 'ogres and iksars get a passive AC bonus' at 1:55. However, only iksars do.

[Excellio]

You should make a video that walks someone thru the getting started stuff. I have many friends who want to play on P99 but they're not the type of people that are comfortable editing files and what not, so they're all waiting for me to go to their houses and set it up for them.

Best thing ever! ill make sure all my noobie friends check this out!

[Galaa]

shouldnt u mention about making a loc key?

Thats one of the most important key IMO, newbies often die without knowing where their corpse is due them being unfamiliar with the zone, a loc key will ensure that they can at least know where they die and can get back their corpse.

[Dokuton]

Loc keys a great idea, but i didn't use it and i don't know all the tips just gave the ones i know ^_^; but ill keep it in mind if i want to remake a 2.0 version in the future.

Nice work on the video. I will definitely point any new people to it.

Awesome post, thanks alot Dokuton! I've already put this on several forums I visit, along with the "how to get set up page" and my quick little pitch for Project 1999.

[Oglong Warblade]

Nice Video, helped this new player out alot.

[Dokuton]

should add a link to this on the wiki :D

[Ephi]

Great video!

When you get to the "how to request GM help" part, I'll be waiting for my cameo. ;)

I picked up a couple of things from this video...well done.

NFP banking tip is perhaps the best in-game tip I have found ever lol!

[GretchenRPH]

I cannot wait to get back into this. My titanium disc is in the mail...somewhere. Getting super nostalgic.

New players recently bump!

-Ogres do not receive a passive AC bonus.
-Ogres have the ability to not be stunned by melee attacks from the front from level 1.
-Meditation unlocks at level 4 for INT casters, 8 for WIS casters. The INT casters have to put a point in it, but I think maybe the WIS casters start Meditating automatically? Anyway, saying it's level 9-10 in the video, that's a long time for some people to not have meditate.
-It's not possible for a Magician to do as much damage as his pet without drawing aggro and probably dying. You're right about the exp penalty, however, it's generally much faster leveling to just accept it at first until you pick up more aggro/exp tips, than to burn your mana on every mob and then meditate it back. I would say that includes Necromancers at first as well.


Otherwise extremely superior guide. High production values. Very well done.

[Dokuton]

Slave thanks for pointing that out. I'm going to add a note about the mistake i made with Ogres and give you credit!

[Froglok]

NFP banking tip is perhaps the best in-game tip I have found ever lol!

This also works for Kelethin bank, stand outside the building, zoom out to look through the window and right click the banker.

[Swish]

Also works for Felwithe if you stand behind the wall (away from the 2 guards in the bank).

Slave thanks for pointing that out. I'm going to add a note about the mistake i made with Ogres and give you credit!

Unnecessary; my reward will be an accurate guide for everyone! :)

-The first hotkey I always make is:

HideCorp

/hidecorpse all
/hidecorpse looted

[Dokuton]

Interesting. Gotta play around with that hotkey and see how it works.
