Buffs & level requirements

[Tasslehofp99]

When did that start? Call me crazy but I remember not being able to cast regrowth/Natureskin on people who werent over a certain level. I remember certain other buffs being like this too, mainly C2. I remember having to mem the lower level skin like nature/Chloroplast when lower levels asked for buffs. Anyone else remember this or when that started?

Luckily that started post-Velious. I really can't stand artificial, arbitrary ways they came up with to lengthen your play time so you'd have to pay more $$$ basically. That, and recommended and required level on gear, even the no-trade tag is a little iffy.

Incorrect. Required level for buffs being cast on you was added at Kunark release.

Post-Velious was when you could get around it with group buffs

REQ/REC was a necessity given the mudflation. I'd sure hate to see what a level 1 would be doing with gear like this.

But as for the question, that started post Luclin with some exceptions. Shit like Ranger buffs couldn't land on lower levels for some reason but the druid versions even at the same splell level and a better spell would land.

Late PoP or mabye it was GoD... they nerfed out that stuff so that you needed level 46 to receive buffs that had a spell level over 50.


If you played on Firiona Vie they had a similar system that you mention except it was special ruleset.

It wasn't something to worry about until after the MGB AAs were in the game, which is beyond the scope of this server.

So Koros, HOW DO YOU LIKE THEM APPLES?

Why does that not surprise me? SoE could have made modern EQ so much better if they did more like this. Or this. Or this. Or this and this and this. This too. This was also a step in the right direction. But instead we got more of this.
