Container Adjustment
This patch contains changes to 'Tackle Box' containers that can affect your inventory items.

1. Container Updates: Tackle Boxes are now classified as NODROP, and their weight has been substantially increased. Consequently, these containers may no longer be used for tradeskill combines. In their place, we've introduced a classic version of the container. These containers will replace the older ones in various aspects, including merchant lists and tradeskill recipes.
2. Exchange Option: If you possess an existing Tackle Box, you have the option to exchange it for an era-appropriate counterpart. You may do this by trading it to a Priest of Discord in any city or a Shady Swashbuckler in East Commonlands.

Items Affected by these Changes:

• Tackle Box: Reduced from 6 slots to 4.

Here's what you need to keep in mind when making the exchange:

• Ensure that the container is empty of any items you want to keep.
• Exchange containers one at a time to avoid any complications.
• The CSR team will not reimburse any items lost due to failing to remove them from these containers.

These adjustments were necessary to prevent any unintentional item loss in the extra bag slots.

Keep dreaming

Updated the files, but servers are still not showing up for p99.

Incredible update to my Tackle Box simulator.

Can't wait to do a bunch of these fixed quests!

Having the same issue

So where can I read about how foods should work now?

I was gone for a while and have completely forgotten how to patch p99. I can see that I have a folder "EQLite" installed on my C drive that seems to be where I am launching the game from. I see the file p99filesv62 in the Getting Started section. Should I be extracting this file right into the root of EQLite? Sorry if this is such a basic question. I'm an old gal who seems to have forgotten much of this.

Yes.

Paste and replace.

Welcome back!
