So what did Velious bring?

[agentjayd007]

I remember when I started EverQuest, I started with Kunark and when Velious came out, I didn't know much except that it was mainly level 30+ because I was about...12 or 13 hah, all I knew was "cool, ice place."

So what all did Velious bring? Guildmates have said it brought back hybrids and such, taking away exp penalties, making them better to group with and such. Other than that, I have almost no clue what goodies it brought, except for Velious itself.

[bartly]

Much better gear. The rygorr stuff was almost as good as original eq planar armor and you can solo for that around lvl 40.

[Dakidd4990]

I've been wondering the same. I've heard there's going to be some power shifts between classes for Velious but I know no specifics. I was a bit of an altoholic in early EQ days. I didn't get to max lvl and start doing "endgame" stuff til Luclin on my Enchanter. So all of this "Classic" raiding will be somewhat new to me. I did a little bit of it after Luclin was out but not very much.

[RhodesRage1976]

Velious added tons of content.

1. haste clicky mask AWESOME!
2. Kael, SS, ToV...DRAGONS galore!
3. Sleeper???!!!
4. Lots and lots of gear that was awesome.
5. Much better crafting items
6. How about a damage shield clicky ring?????
7. It is probably one of the best expansions EQ has put out as far as amount of game content.

Lots and lots and lots and lots of Raiding content!

Not to mention Defiant Armor, Plane of Knowledge, and horse mounts!!

Plane of Knowledge is PoP I believe and defiant comes later too I think. Horses are also PoP as well.

[Endurance]

All correct save mounts. They were added in SOL.

[RhodesRage1976]

ah yes Mounts where SoL, but in all honesty the Velious expansion would almost double the amount of gear and content. /drool eyepatch clicky haste & Thuradin ring war quest ring!

[Colga]

The only thing I remember from Velious was farming ToV trash for armor tokens for a year.

[Cyrano]

The only thing I remember from Velious was farming ToV trash for armor tokens for a year.

You were in the wrong guild then.

[Colga]

Very competitive server. Our guild was stuck in a loop gearing people who eventually jumped ship to the elite guilds. NToV was always a bitchfest between half a dozen or more guilds. Oh the joys of open world content.

[RhodesRage1976]

Yeah so much more in Velious if you played it during its release, obviously as expansions progress there was less and less need for the expansion. But, for the time, it was loaded with amazing content, faction armor, 1,000s of quests, cool new graphics and monsters, I want to see it come to P1999, but tbh I want to level up a couple toons to 60 first, although there is plenty of content for almost all levels.

[Byrjun]

Kunark content was designed exclusively around grinding. 50-60 took much longer than 1-50 did, and then once you were 60 you sat at a cash camp and grinded that, or logged on occasionally for raids. This is evident by comparing the amount of effort and hours required for the VP key vs. the ST key.

Velious designed its content to be a lot more interesting. Not only are the raids much more involved, but there's a lot of progress a character can make that doesn't feel like such a grind. There are a lot of quests from armor to Coldain ring/shawl, SS quests, etc. It just feels like there's 10x more things to do with a level 60 character in Velious compared to Kunark, and it's designed to feel a lot less tedious.

Of course, they pretty much went back on this design philosophy in Luclin, which was designed very similarly to Kunark. VT key made VP key look like a walk in the park, AAs added endless grinding once again, and most of the high end content went back to a focus on hardcore raid content as opposed to the myriad of small questy type Velious progression that just about everyone had access to.

What if any are the Legacy items that are soloable or small groupable for Velious?

[Cookiefist]

Velious seems less exciting when all(not all) the items come with certain stats later in the game.

Grinding is normal in EQ and at times it seems endless. So, not sure why its any different with the respect to AA's.

[BahamutDF]

True. I just love both of those weapons.

I mean what nerd doesn't want a weapon called "The Sceptre of Destruction?"

Hell, I'll take two.

Oh man, how did I ever forget about Ry'Gorr armor? And those earrings too, but they were from Snow Cougar's I think?

[baramur]

Pretty sure sceptre had proc, as for BoC, the proc was added at beginning of luclin, but Sony did say, that it should have always been on the weapon.

One grip I had about Velious was that equipment was too good, particularly for non high end stuff.

I also felt that a lot of the restriction removals, from Iksar plate wearing, to hybrid class etcetc, was actually a detriment and took away from the spirit of original EverQuest.

It was the beginning era of class balancing.

[HalflingWarrior]

Understand that THIS velious will be nothing like classic.

You wont be farming Kael or the halls of testings for armor pieces or Dozekar quest pieces youll be buying them.



You wont be questing eyepatches of plunder, Cold rings or coldain shawls yourself. Youll be paying for their multiquests.

You wont be farming WW dragons for armor, or dragon necropolis for weapons....youll be buying them.

Every single camp is gonna be locked down and handed off from player to player

Honestly, there is no reason that any of those camps would be any more camped than any of the big money camps already ingame right now(and they aren't locked down 24/7 with long waiting lists at all times). Sure, they are camped a majority of the time as they should be, but not 24/7 and they are not always handed off to players. The same will be true with Velious.

Such shit.

You guys whine about a long Kunark because it means tons of people have pixels. But then in the same breath you whine about how hardcore players are going to stop you from having Velious pixels.

What do you want? Do you want a classic experience, where 90+% of us NEVER have a BFG, NEVER have an eyepatch, don't complete quested armor sets until Velious is almost over? Or do you want a custom server where mechanics let you get the pixels you think you are entitled to? You can't have both.


Seriously. It's like the top thread on the forums is "waahhhhh, i can't join a group on my alt without someone having a fungi! RUINING MY IMMERSION WITH ALL THESE EXTRA KUNARK PIXELS" and then the next thread is "waahhhh, Velious is gonna suck because the staff won't put ground drops on rotation!

Just so long as when in a PuG I don't have to /roll on a no drop leather armor piece against a warrior cleric and enchanter. I will be content.

The problem is the servers high end is population is people living off the government and smoking weed all day and playing everquest. Just look at this technyze dude who streams for example...literally no life but eat sleep and shit everquest.

[Marglar]

crystal caverns and tower of frozen shadow are both really fun mid level zones!

[Marglar]

some of the other fun random things i recall from velious.. aside from the obvious raid stuff :)

new weapons that proc slow (willsapper, that thing from sirens grotto..)
gnome and barbarian masks
plenty of fun tradeable raid drops from kael (those insane monk legs, velium encrusted gauntlets, blade of carnage, horn of hsagra etc)
venomous axe of the velium brood (procs at 1!)
cool looking weapons from DN
bad ass armor textures on the tov/ss/kael armor sets
custom helm graphics on the above quest ones and certain others
helm of the tracker for the rangers
bracers of benevolence quest
20 minute runs to get through skyshrine and it's maze..
lots of new crafting patterns and gear options
new haste options..
plane of mischief .. (a zone few people seemed to visit or understand)

[Cookiefist]

Plane of Mischief, what class will make it there first before a raid clears NTov?!

[Frieza_Prexus]

Plane of Mischief, what class will make it there first before a raid clears NTov?!

There should be a flag that prevents you from zoning into PoM if you've had "a large warp detected" since the last time you zoned into NToV. Otherwise someone can ghost right in.

[Daldaen]

Plane of Mischief, what class will make it there first before a raid clears NTov?!

Necros will make that zone their home.

2 DAs, And FD you can get there if you are patient and you get a SoW outside. Though CoV faction helps a lot.

[Buns]

Does anyone know when Halfling Paladins and Gnome Shadow Knights came about? I'm really hoping it was Velious...

Also, is it immediate upon Velious release that hybrids lose their exp penalty?

[Daldaen]

Short hybrids are Luclin.

Thankfully they will never been on this server.

March 2002 patch.

http://www.tski.co.jp/baldio/patch/20020319.html

Halflings and Gnomes have new classes available to them: Halfling Rangers and Paladins as well as Gnome ShadowKnights and Paladins. All of the necessary NPCs and items should be available for these new classes.

[Asap]

Does anyone know when Halfling Paladins and Gnome Shadow Knights came about? I'm really hoping it was Velious...

1. It was not Velious, I believe it was during the LoY expansion
2. The penalties were lifted a few months after the release of Velious

[Danth]

I hope the BFG quest is implemented in its original early form. If so, I look forward to the forum drama from the folks who turn it in expecting a BFG and receive something of a rude shock. Folks don't seem to remember, by and large, how raw and unfinished Velious was when it first opened. The expansion only became really good after 5-6 months of tweaks.

Assuming things are implemented correctly, whoever first kills Avatar of War and receives a shiny Blade of Carnage will also be in for a shock.

I'm not even an OFFICER in A-Team (you should know that's too much responsibility for me!); my words are my own and nothing more :p


Seems odd that there would be so many guides you can find out there about how to get to PoM if it weren't possible for anyone except a necro/cleric/bard with an extra idol. What's that DA clicky that comes with Velious, too? It has multiple charges iirc, but can't remember if it was class specific or not.

Found it - part of last step of ringwar, I think? http://wiki.project1999.com/Earring_of_the_Frozen_Skull

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SdVYn8OR1qc - doesn't look like bard speed, and he only uses one DA. What am I missing?

[Daldaen]

For starters - Aaryonar isn't up.

For secondary starters, that is with gear beyond era (note the Luclin models). Allowing him to take more hits.

At the end you note his DA dropped, that was pretty lucky none of the mobs hit him or worse stunned him.

[pasi]

PoM run is do-able for a lot of classes.

Monk/SK/Necro/Cleric are all fine at doing it with a shiny brass idol. Way harder for classes without a natural DA or FD. Luckily, you don't have to do it alone. I've got a monk and can do the run no problem with an idol. You basically just try to FD -> sneak as far as you can before you can no longer FD off mobs then pop DA idol/Voiddance. Then you rez goo whomever at the castle.

And fuck man, this is P99 - Aaryonar isn't gonna be up for more than 20 minutes a week. You can probably just piggyback your way there over here.

[Daldaen]

That is my expectation as well. NToV will be poopsocked hard enough that following along with a guild you can easily get to PoM.

If the BFG quest rewards those weapons people will just hold on to the quest items until the reward is changed to BFG. It uses the same items, just a different reward, so whatever.

And yes raid guilds know that a lot of Velious loot sucks at first like Blade of Carnage (which sucks forever).

Will be interesting to see the drop rates on BPs here.

They were rare as fuck on live. Back on the Sleeper (2007ish progression server), a stupid leather tunic from Kael held us back on unlocking PoP for a bit (Beastlord Velious armor was required for the next expansion unlock).

So many hours spent killing shit in Kael for that stupid tunic just so we could go on to PoP.

[baalzy]

But... Really.

I never looked @ the camp and have been too lazy to log into another server to go check it out. Are they static spawns or are there roamers that can still drop the beads?

[Crawdad]

Elders spawn in a cave, couple roamers in the zone too but every point will be locked down.

[Daldaen]

Eh I dunno. It isn't that rare of a drop and it doesn't get removed for 6 months. I don't think it will be that hardcore locked down.

[Crawdad]

Well, some people will luck out with drops off roamers I think, but I'll put money on the cave being handed off for at least a few weeks if not longer. They'll be a hot commodity, since they wont drop after ~6 months on the timeline, depending how closely we follow it.. and they'll sell for a silly price no doubt.

I hope I'm wrong, everyone loves Zomm clickies.

Edit to Add: Item I'm most looking forward to is Neriad Shawl (http://everquest.allakhazam.com/db/item.html?item=4301). Spent several weekends camping it on Live and never managed to get it for the Bard, and it was the only illusion item I was missing besides Gnomeling mask. Less exciting clicky for an Enchanter but killer stats. Equally likely to be perma-camped because of Wavecrasher.

Well, if the cave stays perma-locked down by 1 guild then it'll be funny as they one by one get banned for two-boxing cause theres no way in hell any raiding guilds are going to skip out on the first 6 months of raiding just to cockblock everyone else from holgresh beads.

The more likely scenario is it will be the people who perma-camp jboots, so they can sell the beads TO the raiders.

Velious added tons of content.

1. haste clicky mask AWESOME!
2. Kael, SS, ToV...DRAGONS galore!
3. Sleeper???!!!
4. Lots and lots of gear that was awesome.
5. Much better crafting items
6. How about a damage shield clicky ring?????
7. It is probably one of the best expansions EQ has put out as far as amount of game content.

Lots and lots and lots and lots of Raiding content!

[Swish]

Leveling 50+ made ez mode in Velious? KD seemed like a good spot to do some duo work at least.

[Samoht Farstrider]

Velious was my favourite expansion, although I never raided during live and will probably never on here either.

Love running around in the snowy landscape and fighting those damn orcs and also being able to fear kite animals as a ranger.

Love the faction stuff between the three cities.

Did the shawl quest up until the final one, but the guild pretty died and I never got to do the war.

I really need time to level up one of my characters so I can go hunt there when it goes live. Currently have 3 characters around 20. Maybe time to go bard AE kiting full time. LOL
