Honest question. Will Green launch with actual classic Fish Roll baking where you could make a substantial profit from the vendor because it returned 2 per combine? I guess a follow up question would involve profit from vendor from making bows until it was nerfed near Kunark's launch.

Aside from the obvious method of making banded armor and then doing Tunnel Quest, I'm looking at classic ways of making cash that won't involve competing with the hordes of players in their teens / early 20's killing anything that might drop a bronze weapon or bandit sash.

I like that actually, if kunark, and velious were cut up and spread out over the course of like twice or three times as many years, updated intermittently, I bet not only would they have had time to make each update even better but it would be like the rate that I think would have been cooler than just dropping a huge content dump every year.

This would work really well for Velious!

Start with iceclad, add tofs, then EW and CC to introduce the idea of abandoned dwarf explorers, then GD and Thurg to introduce the true velious dwarfs and the idea of their wars with the Giants. Then add the frost giant side of kael so people can pick a side...

Aaaah velious would be so much deeper like this!!

Would play on jib n jams slowbox

I highly suspect Green will indeed not have a bunch of little things that were nerfed as exploits. However, only a dozen or so people have access to that information and I haven't seen anything from them about it since Green's super casual announcement.

Green 99 is coming. You won't have that precious fungi, no more running to the EC tunnels for buffs or to try to push bones and silk for crucial early cash. What are some early quests, techniques, strategies you do on a fresh EQ server? What are some early goals and gear you try to achieve? What is on your fresh start checklist? Share your strats, goals, tips, and tricks below!

For me first thing I like to run to quest NPCs who give you a bag, such as

https://wiki.project1999.com/The_Cigar
https://wiki.project1999.com/Ice_Goblin_Beads
https://wiki.project1999.com/Air_Tight_Box_Quest

Until you can get some backpacks of your own

This is a great idea for a thread where we can all share what we know. I hope we can get it back on topic!

Players starting in Gfay can visit the Warrior guild in Kelethin for a free 4 slot bag with medium capacity. http://wiki.project1999.com/Shark_Meat_Quest

This one is from Ak`anon 10 slots, small capacity. http://wiki.project1999.com/Crate_for_Tonics

This noobie quest starts in Kaladim (there's a Qeynos version too) it yields random rewards, one of them is a +3 int earring! http://wiki.project1999.com/The_Gnome_Take

This is a level 5-6 quest that starts in Neriak, yields a 6 slot 5% WR bag with small Capacity http://wiki.project1999.com/Featherweight_Pouch

Hopping on the pro bag strat train, here's my favorite starter bag.
http://wiki.project1999.com/Tailored_Large_Bag
You make them from Low Quality Bear Skins and a Silk Cord. Trivial at 36, so accessible pretty early. Though they have 2 less slots than a backpack, they weigh only 0.8 and have 10% weight reduction. For certain races/classes, they're better; and even on medium-strength characters, it can be nice to mix and match some backpacks and medicine bags and these things.

LQ Cat and Wolf skins make similar light 6-slot bags with smaller item size capacity, so perhaps useful for characters not near bears.

The ideal troll effort from Rogean would be to have them removed from the game at the very beginning, but make people think they are within the game.

Reading all these green server threads and people's assumptions of this and that might just be in for a rude surprise.

Well considering the entire point of the green server is to recreate an actual classic experience, and this is an emulated experience from 1999, I’d say we are most certainly not in for any surprises at all. . Unless you can’t read.

Dont forget to buy large sewing kits! Work on that tailoring while youre out in the brush as a bonus [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]
