Who needs quest exp when my level 1 cleric pet doubles for 43?

[Castle2.0]

Level 1 cleric pet (http://wiki.project1999.com/Brazier_of_Elemental_Summoning) is actually level 12, doubles for 43, procs 13dmg DD, and has an innate 14 dmg DS. He also regens fast so I don't really need to heal him unless we're talking super deep reds.

Just give him a 150pp sword (http://wiki.project1999.com/Firerune_Brand) instead of buying bonechips and CB belts. Pow pow.

I don't know why we have people trying to exploit the game by turning in more than a stack of bonechips or a backpack of CB belts (you know who you are!) when you are supposed to get levels the natural way: fire pet clicky.

Zones have a limited number of mobs so powerful fire pet clicky forces social interactions. People will start to talk to you VERY soon when you use him in almost any capacity.

If you do quests, how are you going to have social interactions when there aren't a limited number of people that can do a quest at any given time? No one talks to you when you're questing!

WTS this firepet 1k each, PST. 2 left in stock.

[Bigcountry23]

Yep, was happy I had a few of these in stock for my baby necro. Managed to grab him some YT and get him bound at Firepots. These are even better when Quest Exp is on and you can kill Wisps in NK (and turn in the LS/GLS right there).

He just can’t help himself. All he’s done since Kunark has dropped is make posts being passive aggressive towards the server and the GMs because they ruined his precious fun. It’s like a week till quest exp is back and he’s still crying. Wish they’d just give him a vacation so we could stop seeing these dumb posts.

[Indecisive]

Did you seriously take that into kurns? If you're going to PL yourself, do it in the outdoor zones, or one of the dungeons nobody goes to. Jerk move to take it into one of the most popular dungeons in the game, and the only low level one on the continent.

[Xandria]

yep its a week till quest xp get turned back on....
yet people who have already been 60 for a week...
meanwhile the only people really being screwed over are the new people who rely on said drops for spell money and a few levels here and there and dont yet have the plat for lvl 12 fire pets......
it was a stupid decision that was made badly and could have been handled far better

Yeah, I'm not sure I've seen many players defending the decision or the way it was executed. It was clearly an overreaction by the staff to the existence of a few players exploiting the free account system to create literally hundreds of dummy accounts to hold lore quest turn-in items.

The overreaction screws over a bunch of innocent people, and was not great. But with every post Castle makes, I find myself caring that the staff made him wait a mere 30 days to do his silly thing less and less.

OP is an admission of zone disruption which violates the Play Nice Policy.

https://www.project1999.com/forums/showthread.php?t=325349
10. You may not disrupt the normal playability of a zone or area.

Zone/Area Disruption is defined as any activity designed to harm or inconvenience a number of groups rather than a specific player or group of players. This includes, but is not limited to::

-Monopolizing most or all of the kills in an area.

- Deliberately blocking a doorway or narrow area so other players cannot get past.

- Refusing to cooperate with the other parties at a contested spawn site after having been instructed to do so by a P99CSR.

- Making excessive and inappropriate use of public channels of communications (/shout, /ooc, etc.).

- Intentionally causing excessive zone latency (creating excessive corpses, abusing spell effects, etc.).

- Causing intentional experience loss to other players (deliberately impeding fleeing players by blocking their escape route, intentionally training NPCs on other players, etc.).

Staff need to stop sitting idle on this guy, It's clear he doesn't care about the health and well being of the community or classic environment on P99. His signature contains proof of exploiting mechanics and this is not the first thread he's made bragging about it.

I never said I monopolized the zone. I took 1 normal camp solo. I was simply saying what could happen, and having social interactions from your powerful pet clicky does not mean you're doing anything wrong.

"How are you holding that camp solo, dude?" Doth not make an elf a criminal.

You know what happens when you assume?

Gonna have to pause here for a moment and remind Baler to read down the rest of the rules:

Which makes me wonder why people aren't selling more powerleveling services while quest exp is turned off. I did some free PLing on green with a naked erudite 50 necro, netting people 6-11% exp per kill. *shrug*

[Izmael]

Getting to level 20 with this must be terrible. The leverage of the pet is mostly its DS, so you can't tank for it.

It's good to get to about 12, you can push to 16 if you really want it, then it becomes just too slow, probably a lot faster to just find any kind of group/partner or even solo for the classes that can.

Don't forget that the level of the pet is MAXIMUM 12 but can be as low as... 8 I think?

Don't forget that the level of the pet is MAXIMUM 12 but can be as low as... 8 I think? Tried group exp in kurns on a level 12 with a 13 and 15. We were killing pretty fast, but the group exp was slow. Doesn't even come close to fire pet.

Level range on pet is 10-13, so I got 2nd highest one. DS can go up to 15. DS for fire pets is level + 2.

I did levels 1-18 and I was able to solo level 17-18 mobs (lesser icebone, lesser charbone) starting at 5 once I got a better heal, so experience was awesome. Soloing level 17-18 mobs @ 5, just how Brad envisioned it.

I could dump thousands of plat for the easy levels to PL 1-18, or I could use one of these I have laying around and toss em a 150pp sword and do it on the cheap.

I think nilbog is busy with IRL. His post count barely goes up now-a-days which indicates to me, irl. Which who can blame him, after 10 years I wouldn't be as motivated as I once was working on the same project.

It seems to me that the guides work load has increased, some may say things are on auto-pilot with p99 currently.

In regards to achievements, that is a system that was created for green launch. (I think rogean made it?) And it's just had things added to it, prior to kunark launch they had a community achievement idea thread with very specific formatting.

Edit: I don't think the staff decide to add unclassic changes due to loss of focus. They've built up this server and the players keep trying to tear it down. It's human nature to find the easiest/laziest method of success and 1999-2001 could never hold up for 20 years.

To be clear, Nilbog has given us 10+ years of incredible development; I am nothing but grateful for that.

I also understand the server firsts thing, and think it's a fun custom, non-classic feature. I just think anything unclassic should always come after the primary purpose of this place: classic EverQuest.

My concern is that the Nilbog who once promised:

Project 1999 - Legit PVE Classic Progression


Release Date: October 2nd, time TBA.


After many joyful days, nights, and months of development, we are ready to release the server.

Brief description of highlights:

-Progressive through Velious -

- 100% Static Zones - You won't be able to repop an empty zone by zoning.

-Upon release, each RL player is allowed to play 1 client until it is deemed in need of change by the community.

-Classic Timeline - Prenerfs, nerfs, most zone unlocks will be based on an approximated time being expansion unlocking versus original patch notes. (example: box of abu-kar will drop from *any* lvl 35+ npcs until marfen binkdurple is added to sell bag of the tinkerers, then it will be removed)

-Classic Loot - DB completely redone to ensure proper drop rates from common, uncommon, and rare NPCs. Items you forgot about or never knew existed. You shouldn't find empty loot tables.

-Classic Quests - From the useless to the useful, I think all prekunark quests have been researched, fabricated and implemented. Enjoy

-Classic Spells - Spell levels and effects based on original data. Kunark and Velious spells will appear on the correct vendors when the time comes. Classic particle effects, with optional casting graphics.

-Classic Faction - Base factions recreated and populated throughout mobs; creatures and NPCs alike.

-Classic NPCs - Rarity of spawns ensured. Mob HP and level populated from classic spawnlogs. Missing mobs created, huge amounts of pathing work. Scripted NPCs available from scripts only. Dragons, Gods, and unique encounters are scripted events.

-Classic zones recreated - Cazic Thule, Runnyeye, Kerra Ridge with original spawns, quests, and loot.

-Original Plane of Hate/Fear/Sky.. mobs, pathing, loots, difficulty.

-Classic spawn times of mobs.

-Classic class/race combinations only - Halfling rangers, paladins. Gnome Shadowknights and paladins.. are off the menu.

-Classic spell gems and Velious UI are available -

-Classic merchants populated with traditional wares.

-Aesthetics - Faces, textures, clothing, weapon graphics, flavor text, proximity emotes.. fixed

-Classic Tradeskills -

- Norrath purged of frg/bst/ber/vahshir clutter.

- Kunark and Velious npcs removed from classic, until they are needed.

- Dungeon node pathing - Mobs should no longer have phasing ability, and have lost the ability to travel through walls.

- We will be doing GM Events! Minor ones and larger ones.. but definitely the Best of the Best

- Kunark and Velious, when open, will also be classic material. Look forward to original VP 1.0, Sleeper's 1.0, and Plane of Mischief 1.0


A few random features of interest :


- Food/water = mana/endurance effects-
- Eye of Zomm works -
- Blind works -
- Classic Feign Death mechanics -
- Mob run speed corrected - getting away will not be so easy
- Skills - class skills nerfed back into line.
- Pets - poof when you invis/hide/die/or zone.
- Pets - window works, (backoff, etc)
- Classic Alchemy pricing and recipes
- Classic Forage table created -
- Classic spawn points/bind points
- Invisibility spells have random duration timers.
- + hit by non-melee.
- PC pets operate from owner's faction
- Halflings can sneak
- Magical NPCs are immune to non magical weapons
- Endurance bar = Stamina bar, bring your invigor. (WIP)
- Boats are a WIP. Some currently have workarounds, others do not.
- btw, The Plane of Fear will own you in the face, GL on your lustrous russet.

[Seducio]

Perhaps I was a bit too crass. A metaphor is that the devs are in a marriage with p99.

When you meet folks in real life who have been married for 10+ years, how often is the passion and commitment level the same as the beginning?

Perhaps I was a bit too crass. A metaphor is that the devs are in a marriage with p99.

When you meet folks in real life who have been married for 10+ years, how often is the passion and commitment level the same as the beginning?

Having been married a lot longer than that, the commitment is greater the longer you go. It's easy to walk out in the beginning. The majority of divorces happen in couples who haven't been together all that long, with four years being a particularly strong spike. The longer you're together, the greater the odds you'll stay together.

In this case I call it an inapplicable metaphor: Nobody's married to eq-emulator. The obviously reduced level of activity and interest on the part of the admins here seems normal enough given P1999's extended lifespan. It originally started out as something of a "temporary" stopgap while waiting for EQC, after all. The admins here sort of got sucked in.

Danth

[Seducio]

Are you telling me you fuck your wife the same amount now as when you were newly weds?

You and your wife's commitment level is rare and awesome. Passion is even harder to maintain. It's a biological fact.

I think the metaphor applies. At some point the devs will divorce from p99 and who knows what will happen to the assets they created.

[Baler]

It originally started out as something of a "temporary" stopgap while waiting for EQC, after all. The admins here sort of got sucked in.

[Seducio]

Again apologies specifically to Danth if a bit too crass to your partnership. I don't know the particulars of your situation, but I have seen this pattern before. Many decade happily married couples tend to have a rosy picture of relationships in general. There are just less happily married folks out there than Hallmark would make it seem.

I know many folks who 'fall into' a marriage level commitment with lovers simply because one thing led to another.

I know many folks who 'fall into' a marriage level commitment with lovers simply because one thing led to another.

I know a few too. My cousin is that way--he got married to his wife, and I quote his own words, because he "Got used to her." P99 is broadly similar in that respect in the sense that when it first got going nobody really expected it to take off like it did or last like it has. Sort of snuck up on everyone.

Bard can do it during low-pop in the right zone(s).

I've also seen a rogue PL'd 1-53 in a day, by a druid and monk.

[Izmael]

A dragon tooth in OT will probably ding you 20 in an hour if you stick to deep reds. All mobs from the "higher level" part of OT should be deep, deep red.

About 10 mobs per level, and you need to ding 19 times, so you need 190 kills.

That's an average of 19 seconds per kill.

You'd probably need someone healing your pet to achieve that, with maybe a Tola robe on it and a couple lifetap sticks wouldn't hurt.

I'm actually not sure what's best, 2x lifetap sticks or 2x gnoll lariats. At some point the lariats should give better ROI as they cancel out higher mob DPS.

ehh a bit ambitious

It’s definitely feasible, but you really have to have the right situation. And you better believe the staff are gonna immediately look into it to make sure you didn’t RMT the PL

Haank selling em @ KC ent for 300p

Should hit for ~68, just like the 60 mage pet :D

[Malykor]

Hah! Nice

[Vizax_Xaziv]

BUT don't let people turn in HUNDREDS of CB belts to get a few levels. Lels

[Malykor]

XP for quests back up and running?

[Alpha Cuck]

the real question here is how much did Castle donate so he could get away with obvious mass boxing to mule all the scrolls

and mass botting on /list camps

[loramin]

Kurns IS the best exp for 1-18. ZEM is 150. There is nothing higher than that (200% exp) for those levels.

Source?

Source?

Personal experience in lowbie dungeons and the wiki - which is unofficial, but the best base numbers we have.

For 1-20, I wouldn't level anywhere else... until Warrens because then you get molar quest exp... if quest exp ever returns to Norrath :D

[Solemnus]

This, someone who knows what they're doing can PL any class 1-20 in ~1 hour

Which makes me wonder why people aren't selling more powerleveling services while quest exp is turned off. I did some free PLing on green with a naked erudite 50 necro, netting people 6-11% exp per kill. *shrug*

Doesn't the above only further prove the point that disabling quest exp, particularly for low level quests, is a totally inane decision that helps no one? In essence agreeing with OP.

Also OP, I saw a guy doing this in Crushbone today and it was retarded, level 7 ranger walking around in full raid gear with a fire pet decimating everything in view. Felt way less 'classic' than people hoarding quest turns in, that's for sure. Meanwhile none of the newbies in CB are even bothering to gather belts or shoulderpads anymore because it's a waste of space. Again feels totally weird and out of place. Capped off is the fact that Oracles and all other casters now cast Gate when they flee, which leads to huge trains. Green officially feels less classic to me than Blue did right now.

Maybe the 'best' part of these quest changes is that they were done to curb an issue that really didn't matter to begin with. Who honestly cares even one iota whether some nerds rush to level 60 in 2 days? In fact they did that anyway. So not only did it not solve the problem but it wasn't even a problem needing a solution, because it didn't ever matter to anyone but like the top 1% of 1% neckbeards on the server who don't sleep 6/7 days a week. P99 admins pretty much punished thousands of people with a decision to curb a nonissue with a solution that didn't work and then kept it there an entire month.

... if quest exp ever returns to Norrath :D

Powerleveling is much faster than questing for 'total time' spent. It's a heck of a lot easier/cheaper and can be way more disruptive to others. Questing for exp (for those who stored quest items for Kunark) was spending a LOT more time and money to camp/buy/store/track(logistics) than you would powerleveling.

The only thing quest exp does is it allows you to go faster ONCE you roll your toon.

Yellow text was protected. Can we haz quest exp now?

I think I know the answer...
