Begging skill.

Can confirm you can level begging on the kunark shuttles. Your success chance is 0% but you can get skillups.

I started playing EQ soon after it initially launched and have to admit, I can’t recall even once hitting the beg key skill.

Does it generate a significant amount of threat on a critical fail? Or just the +1 over highest on list like taunt- questionably useful for tanking characters?

In its initial iteration it could add aggro, but this was changed because cheating warriors.

Now all it does on a critical fail is add you to the mobs aggro list, with no modifier to hate.

DaP should charge for CR ports to incentivize begging skillups among the playerbase. Gotta naked beg for dat port moneh.

It's more for being a completionist than anything.

So far skill (25) at lvl 4, so I'm 99% sure its lvl x 5+5

I got murdered by my first NPC for failure today [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.] Fascists!

I've been working mine recently, as it happens. Currently in the 230's (wiki says 215 max, and 200 for cleric). Was going to ask Loramin to update it once I figure out what it caps at.

Still get crit fails (and agro) post 200, with an abysmal success rate. Most I've gotten so far was 2 coppers from Gornit.

At work so I don't have a more recent screenshot, but here's proof it goes above 215:

It's shite.

I have all my logs of my druid leveling it up to... 100 or so? I'll number crunch it but I think the success rate is 1 in 15 or so. And the skillup rate is worse than most skills.

If it's for "flavor", it's brussels sprouts flavor with extra sulphur with a soupçon of cod liver oil.

And shit.

It's a skill that the original "classic" devs said "fuck it" on early in the game and the coding was already there so they just left it in. (It's the only hypothesis that makes any sense at all.)

Should've made a haggle button for NPC sellers to lower their wacktacular prices....
