Crystal Chitin Gauntlets on blue = 300pp
Crystal Chitin Gauntlets on green = 1500pp
Treants on blue and green = 50 - 150 gold

What are the benefits of playing on a server where you spend 5 times longer working for the exact same item?

do you really need a super super cheep crystal chitin gauntlets (ever??)? ask yourself this or would you rather just have more ppl around? even if just to talk to while you practice conjuration?

The benefit of grinding 5 hours instead of 1 is more people?

At this stage I don't think there's much point starting on Green tbf, only a few months left of the classic lifecycle to go. Not only is stuff cheaper on Blue but you also get pet window, hotkeys 6-10, blue XP bar. Population on Green is slightly higher but not massively so.

Sounds like it is much better to be the CCG vendor on green.

SCHW on green - 3k

SCHW on blue - 400

I play on Green but refuse to pay 3x+ the blue price of items. So my method has been to just save and hoard pp in case they do merge to blue (which I actually don’t want due to too many people at the top end at that point)

The most expensive thing I’ve bought on green was jboots mq 5k same price as blue :)

My own experience of velks (admittedly blue) is SCHW rot fairly often as they are lore. Wait at the camp (bound to be being soloed) and offer to buy the rot (or even ask for it on pity). If they switch to loot on an alt then just take the camp and kill/loot your own. Bish bosh bash.

That's 7 x the price!

You have to sit at treants 7 x longer to buy SCHW on green and then after you've purchased them you have no idea if their market price will plummet.

I guess the low value PP on green is irrelevant if you're going to do things the way it was intended which is to loot as you go and progress naturally rather than buy twink items in EC tunnel.

This. I'd go for Blue at this point because there's cheaper gear to help you solo and duo easier. There really aren't that many grouping opportunities on Green that you can't get by joining a guild on Blue.

I don't follow the "market" too closely, but the prices on Green (and maybe this is the case for blue as well) aren't entirely due to scarcity, sometimes they are just whatever the few people who are the only ones selling that item decide it is. I notice certain items have a little oligopoly of players controlling its price. The solution to that would be to decline to buy until someone caves or gets desperate for quick plat

schw is silver chitin hand wraps, haste item

Don't farm plat then, just get the items you want from the npc that drops it and you can trade the item for a greater number of bandages and muffins once you get rid of them.

Green progress is over, so which server is moot in that regard.

But since it is newer there are still more fresh-start players scrubbing around doing fun stuff versus more established players on blue that are maxxed out.

Green is a much worse server:

UI

Targeting

Pet window

Extra hot bars

Blue is a no brainer

blue is filled vulak farmers, petition quest, and drugs

consider green and stop wasting your time on a beta server where nothing matters

I just rolled a new character on blue.

Also Starkind in game. Pst if u want to talk shop.

I noticed ur decked out magelo characters. They're fine but I would roll more charisma or more agi on some.

Like your cleric has 176 str lol. 1337... but rly?

Already got hooked up with a watersprinkler of the forgiven on blue, so I'm like basically set except need a chanter pal to help me make adamantium one day probably months from now.

Awesome! Thx )

Seems nicer than fbss, ac and a little stats. Can wear a thick banded belt with it too.

I mostly just know vanilla gear.

Literally got 60 a week after kunark back in the day. Spent most of my time at 50 in solb and guk.

Some nice low level stuff in velious I want to try for again this time.

I got my clr 51 on red, didn't feel like going back for it solo in tofs and stuff. Blue will be funner in the long run I will probably help grps do stuff in all the old dungeons.

why tf would any of my toons need more agility

or charisma

?????


oh yes because clerics need more agi so they can dodge attacks better! oh yeah!

i forgot that clerics are a melee class and can wear plate so they must be the tank!

my bad bro!

Go blue so you can twink yourself out with cheap gear. Totally the classic EverQuest experience, right?

u dont have to but its nice to start with a nice kunark weapon because melees are realy underpowered in vanilla without the suppport of a grp which on a top heavy server isn't like super commonplace, i seen a lvl 60 shaman killing orcs in ec on blue. they probably would have helped me tho if i asked and we could have shared the loot/faction
