Spellbook Medding

[Bengala]

I am considering starting a toon to recapture that original EQ feeling. I have a question about the spellbook that I could not find diggin through the forums (for 2 days). Do casters have to stare at the spellbook like back in the day? I think it was in velious when that no longer became the case (at certain level, 35 perhaps... been so long ago, and I was super stoked when that happened). This may very well impact my decision about playing anew.

Thanks for reading,

You won't have to look at the spellbook.
I am also pretty sure it was removed during classic.

Thanks Obrae for responding quickly. You have sealed my decision to play [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.] Staring at spell book sucked lol

Spellbook meditation was removed post-Luclin.

Spell casters no longer need to see their spell book when meditating. Once a character has the meditation skill, it will function when the character is sitting down.

This is a limitation of the Titanium UI.

If it is possible, we need to implement it!

We should also incorporate /meditate or pressing that big "Meditate" button in the spell book! http://www.tski.co.jp/baldio/patch/20000830.html

With the requirement to /sit before /meditate!! http://www.tski.co.jp/baldio/patch/20000823.html

Oh baby!

yeah, its a classic feature...most of us just don't remember having to do it because we out lvl'd the requirement long before it was removed from the game.

Nilbog has said that it is something he is not able to implement on p99.

*Edit: Nvm I thought that was a link to a working patch for EMU code. This is one thing I support. I hate a lot of shit that gets changed here. But this is one legit one.

wasn't there also no spell book after lev 35 in classic/kunark era, way before it was removed completely?

Can't wait until they figure out a way to thwart the Titanium UI and force full-screen spellbook meditation.

So if you had to look at the spell book, what happened in the velious UI?
