View Full Version : WT(Borrow) Fungi for a week


Dollar

Anyone willing to let me borrow a fungi for a week. I know this is unlikely due to the threat of being scammed, but I figured i'd give it a shot anyways. I know a lot of people like to take breaks from the game or have one sitting on an alt not getting any use.

As a soloing lv 18 SK, I could get 20 levels in a week with one. I know I am asking for a break, but hell it sure would make my levelling 100 x faster. A loaner program would be awesome for new players. Basically borrow equipment for a limited time.. but I know this will never happen officially due to jerks who would abuse it.

Regardless,

Thanks for taking the time to read this and if you feel there would be a possibility of doing this I would be willing to talk to you over the phone or skype or whatever just to put your mind at ease.

Does the server staff support long-term item "rentals" in regards to scamming? Or are you SOL (not Shadows of Luclin) if someone runs off with your item?

Can't say the reply is unexpected. Like I said I know it's a long shot, but regardless I think the 'loaner program' would be awesome, but yes how do you ensure someone is trustworth.. I don't have that answer.

I doubt the GMS have neither the time or patience to want to bother with 'a loan program', just due to the difficulty of trying to figure out who is telling the truth or not. So if I had to guess you would be (SOL), but I don't know the answer for sure.

You could do 2 levels in a grp at MM Pond in a night. Soloing is boring as shit.

solo'ing sucks....but in modern EQ solo'ing means watching youtube vids all day between solo kills. its a lot more bearable then it used to be.

Actually my first char in vanilla Eq was a bard. Strangely I mostly charm killed, and didn't aoe until pop to farm aas.

I like to group, and do so when I can but my playtime is limited so I tend to end up soloing a lot.

Doubt anyone cares if you level faster. Grind it out, get your own fungi. I made a ton of plat buying and reselling my own gear over and over again.

Find a mediator. I would gladly lend out my fungi for14k for one week. But need to be an intermediary. Intermediary would have to provide own fungi as collateral to originator. get 4k of cut

Verath

If you have collateral equal to or greater than the value of a fungi I have one on my trader. I haven't logged in a few months though. I will let you hold onto it. It seemed that king wasn't camped at all the last time I played. The fungi will never be rare but as I said. I'm hoarding items for awhile.

You'd find more people willing to just give you some decent gear. As an SK (especially with hybrid penalty gone) you should solo just fine and keep that bar moving.

Guy called "Dollar" wants to "borrow" a fungi...my spider sense is going crazy etc.

There's 100s of fungis floating around for sure. When OP loses connection for 4 months I'm sure the lender will understand :o

PS - don't solo on a SK unless you're lfg in the zone you want to group in. Many better classes for it.

Also made Oleris's Velious gif (his gif, my ideas and captions) but he's quite keen to pass that off as his own and take the kudos so pretend you didn't read this :)

Is this fungi tunic really THIS powerful?
You write that you dont have much time in game so grouping is difficult for you but with the Fungi you said you could do 20 levels per week anyway?

As a newbie (LVL 30 after months) I really wonder why I bothered playing at all when you are able to level this much in a timeframe which makes grouping senseless.

I should have asked a friend for this item...

Fungi is that powerful until about level 45 or 50.

Dollar was just an open name on a server that has 1 million players on it. Perfect for a mule. Nothing sinister going on. I know that fungi is valuable and I understand how you think this may look and there are plenty of jerks and scammers around. I am not one of them.

I tend to play for 10 min to an hour spurts so I generally solo in often uncamped areas so even if it's just for 10 min I can use that time efficiently to kill x number off mins before I log.

Sks can already solo! Fear kite + lifetap!

Learn your class! Extreme twinking won't help you!

I soloed with my cleric up to 56 most of the time.... I still meet clerics that don't even know they get a pacify spell or mem blur (lol).

I can see the appeal definitely for short sessions. Unfortunately players are always encouraged to be vigilant - especially when it comes to key items :/

Most of the time and difficulty in level'ing is the 50-60 game. It is very hard for a melee to solo after lvl 50. You can do it, but it will be horribly slow even if you are twinked out.

The real reason is that level'ing in EQ isn't preparation for the end-game. It isn't just a hoop to jump thru to get a max level toon so that you can really start playing in the raid scene. Level'ing is the game. Meeting people and having fun in level appropriate content isn't just a hoop to jump thru for most of us.

Personally, I think some of the mid level zones and content is actually much more fun at the appropriate level than the max level zones. So the reason to grp is to have access to that fun...not just to level past it and get to something better. (secret pro tip about eq: there isn't anything "better" waiting at max level)

If all you want is a max level toon then you can prob more efficiently just farm pp or play ECtunnel-quest and buy PLing. If that's your idea of fun...then enjoy the game how you like it.

I'll be in Droga and Dalnir (to name only two) having a blast and loving EQ...

This game is way more fun and epic untwinked. You remember the adventure in lower guk when you and your group derailed a train and prevented a wipe more than zerging the same content every week.

it would be cool if someone could help you out so you could play how you want, but the reality of this game is just different. you shouldnt be getting heavy twink items until you can actually afford them, and if you do you will be taking the fun out of the game IMO. if you want to play an SK you gotta be able to group, or you need a main to fund a twink. you can solo with the SK but it will be slow, and if you enjoy that then great! but the fact is if you only have time to solo then you should pick another class or be content with the pace that the SK soloing can handle. i made a character and played it for months just to be able to make enough money to fund a twink so that i could enjoy and SK or a shaman in the same way you describe. it wouldnt be fair if you were just given it because you want to play the game in one specific way and not have to earn gear to make that happen. enjoy the mid levels while you can.

If I started P99 with a no drop fungi or something, I don't think I'd be able to play without it if it was taken away.

Rather like it as an enchanter, too. XP is fantastic, and it requires basically no gear. My guy was doing it in gossamer/damask he got in Befallen, holding a Stein of Moggok he had quested for himself, raking in awesome XP.

But I think grouping as an SK is definitely superior to soloing. Learn things doing it, get faster XP, and most importantly have more fun. You may get to pull also, and learn some dungeons in the interim.

Went through OPs posts. All he talks about is loot basically. I've been here since April got a 60 in 3 months and now i'm working on my second 60 in my free time.

Honestly half the fun isn't being geared it's getting the gear. I haven't transferred a single plat from my main to my alts yet. I actually plan on gearing them up through working for it.

I just asked a simple question. I wasn't demanding or expecting, just tossing seeing if anyone was willing. Everyone plays this game differently and just because I'm newish to this server doesn't mean I'm new to Classic Eq. I have been through the grind enough times to where I prefer higher level play. I respect the way you guys prefer to play the game. With or without fungi I will eventually level myself up.

Hey man I just so happen to have one you can borrow, but first I need to know if I can trust you. Come to act II, ok follow me, ok go behind the bar. Now we have to do this because if I can't trust you, then why should I borrow you my fungi right? OK, drop your SoJ. Seriously, you want to borrow this right? I need to know if I can trust you. OK drop it. Drop the SoJ.

Unfortunately I was deployed during the Diablo II craze, but I did get to play it on a mini lan. Literally ran 3 Ethernet cables under our c-huts to a switch so a few us in different platoons could play multi player. Sorry about what happened to your SoJ. You live I a cruel world.

I probably loaned out 3 fungi tunics to different people I've met over the years and I still have them all on Skype and could get them back at a moments notice.
