Soo.. to whomever gave me the 100k..

[RoKnRuiN1]

I honestly didn't realize how much plat you had given me until today, and I don't know how to express my gratitude. Now I feel like an ass because I can't remember your name for the life of me.

Now I suppose my question is.. What do I do with it? My main is only a level 15 Rogue. Do I buy this Fungi Tunic that I see everyone say is a melee staple for leveling? I am kinda overwhelmed right now. Maybe I should just invest in better gear?

Thanks for your help,
RoK

Buy an epic MQ, FBSS, and rest on a few solid upgrades.

FBSS is fucking useless if you have the epic. Don't waste your money on it.

[RoKnRuiN1]

What is an FBSS?

[Sularus Oth Mithas]

That's pretty darn cool. The generosity of some people here is pretty astounding at times.

[Pringles]

Not to be an ass (ok... maybe I am), but my bullshit meter is going off. Is this post to try and cover your 100k RMT transaction or what?

[Barkingturtle]

You should build a ludicrously spacious vault like Uncle Scrooge McDuck and then you should drown in it.

Haha just kidding. You should wait a month or two and then buy a fungi and an epic mq.

[Kieu]

Basically my thoughts.

Whether or not you are a RMT'er... I would recommend getting epic MQ, and spending the rest on some solid gear. I don't think having a fungi with absolutely no gear would be very helpful. Nor would just having epic/fungi. Better off having some good gear to go along with the epic.

[Swish]

Can you move with 100k? How did someone give it to you? At a bank? Why the lack of recollection on who gave it to you? Too fishy.

Spies from EpicEMU trying to discredit the server in subtle ways?

As far as I know, looking through how the databases are constructed on some EQemu servers, large events like this are automatically logged and flagged. I can't remember the terminology, something like "life event" or something, the money can be traced back to whoever had it first. Thus the originator of the plat will also be flagged, unless they earned the 100k legitimately and piece by piece at an appropriate level.

u can move with 100k as long as u have sow.

what a sketchball

[Jenithia]

I'll have to try and find him again but a few weeks ago I met a level 24 halfling cleric in the EC tunnel who had crazy amazing gear, a Donals BP and his epic. He asked me if I'd PL him for plat. When I asked him how he got all that he told me he got a good trade from Red to Blue and came to Blue with 1 million plat. Does this stuff really happen?

[Tecmos Deception]

I'm sure it does, Jen. There are plenty of people on blue with more pp than they can spend on their characters and with as many alts as they care to have. What's left to do with that money other than stuff like lose it at casinos, give it to random noobs, stockpile guised accounts and manastones, or give it away for stuff on red?

[sulpher01]

So all these people who just hand over hundreds of thousands of plat for account buys are all just getting banned in the name of RMT then? Because I dont see how you would differentiate between RMT and someone buying an account... tell logs?

Shit if thats the case then they could just put on a show that they are buying an account when they rmt... rofl

[Nordenwatch]

What i have learned in this thread is to never give random noobs large amounts of money as they will be suspected as RMT-ers.

[Byrjun]

I don't think having a fungi with absolutely no gear would be very helpful. Nor would just having epic/fungi. Better off having some good gear to go along with the epic.

What exactly is better for a new player than epic/fungi? Those two items fill unique roles that nothing else in the game does. Rogue epic MQ might be the biggest bargain in EQ considering the ridiculous ratio, stats, and max haste. Other classes would have to spend fortunes to get the same benefits, and even that would be spread out among multiple stats. Rogue epic would be priority #1.

Then you could basically buy whatever random gear to max out your str, that the difference that will make will be very insignificant compared to epic. Or, you could buy a fungi which would give a ton of survivability. The nice thing is that it's most effective at the lower levels, which is exactly when tanks (including SKs) will have an awful time trying to hold aggro from an epic rogue. The most important thing in this game is levels, and I'd imagine a fungi (as well as a jboots MQ) would save you (and your exp) numerous times while leveling up. Fungis also hold their value better than stuff like mithril armor will once/if Velious comes out.

Of course, the question is whether you'd be able to afford a fungi after buying an epic MQ. Probably not, but I guess it could be possible.

Indeed, why would you want to ruin their immersion.

Why not give some obviously undergeared someone in their 50s some plat?

[Autotune]

You're welcome!

lol

[Swish]

Is it possible to move with 100k plat? Whole thing still seems sketchy to me.

[Tecmos Deception]

Swish, you need to post less and play more. You must REALLY have spent some time out of game if you don't know how to move even when extremely encumbered :p

Propo told me you'll be done with school soon though!

[Raavak]

Rogue epic MQ might be the biggest bargain in EQ considering the ridiculous ratio, stats, and max haste.Does the haste portion work at lower levels? I honestly don't know.

Yes as long as you got sow your fine ... your slow as piss but your fine.

Shows how inflation is impacting the game doesn't it? I've never held more than 27k at once and I was slow as hell moving with that :p

Yeah exams in May and I'm back on properly :)

[joppykid]

Yes, Seething Fury worn effect works at lvl 1

[Byrjun]

All item haste works at level 1...

[Savok]

If anyone wants to give away any plat I'll happily take it off you because at level 48 I have around 470pp to my name.

If I played, I would give him a lot of platinum just for his work on the UI and spell gems. Thanks again, Savok.
