questions

[gprater]

I recently watched a 6 year old Youtube series about starting fresh on p99 where he made a warrior and farmed all the normal items that used to sell to other players very well. Do these still sell as well? I am conisdering either blue or green server.

Items like:
--orc and gnoll scalps from HPH
--Left ears
-- leather padding
--Spider/spiderling silks
-- temper and dye ingredients

Thanks

[Toxigen]

No.

Server is super top heavy.

If you're starting fresh I'd recommend a better farming character first, then use the funds for a war twink.

[WarpathEQ]

Pretty much the only "low end" items that sell are the common quest items used for EXP PLing like crushbone belts/shoulderpads or deathfist slashed belts.

Aside for those types of drops basically anything else you find before hitting mid/high level will end up selling to vendors.

This is absolutely terrible advice: it's a damn video game, play what's fun for you.

[Swish]

You might have more fun if your warrior can tank better.

If you want to play a pet caster like mage or necro though, items are less important.

Back in 1999 there were easily 10x (20x? 50x?) Warriors vs. P99 ... and the all started untwinked? Every last one! :confused: :confused: :confused:

What you're really saying Toxigen is that you choose what to do in your free time based on whiny internet strangers ("twink melees bitches"). I mean, you do you, but I still think that's bad advice, and people should play the game they want to play regardless of such "bitches".

'Twink Melee Bitches' was the name of my Depeche Mode cover band in highschool

If OP is in groups struggling for gear I’d say there is a good chance people will just end up gifting things like schw, 11:25 or better weapons, jboots mq because they understand the struggle, especially on a warrior.

Even if they don’t - that kinda weapon is super cheap and will take you to 46 where you can eqsily rotquest a 20% haste belt in plane of sky.

My advice is hold on to your memories and don’t take the servers too seriously. The most recent(Green) has been at the end of the classic timeline(Original-End of Velious) for close to two years; Blue for much longer. Finding groups that will do anything other than want you to fly through 1-60 and/or play their innumerable guild maintained bot accounts is going to be your biggest hurdle if you came to relive the old days.

If that’s appealing though, welcome! There are some who stay in East Commonlands tunnel whose sole existence now is to buy/sell/resell/repeat also. Send the ones you see often a tell, maybe someone will help you get in sync with what is in demand and help you to flip your first Gauntlets of Fiery Might in to a Tranquil Staff.. Somehow.. Lol.

[sajbert]

My advice is

1) Don't make a warrior unless you for X reason REALLY want to. The class is weak without super gear and even then very niche and only really useful for raiding and the occasional group (which there aren't many of).
2) Farm bonechips wherever you can, use plat to buy better gear in east commonlands tunnel.
3) Ignore advice of making a "farming character" first if you're semi- or straight up casual. It takes a LONG time to make any character profitable in EQ.

I was one of those untwinked Warriors. My main during Classic to Velious on live was a troll warrior who mostly soloed.

That is one reason why I ended up choosing SK for my original main on P99 though. I understand the struggle Warriors have while leveling.

To be clear, I'm only advising playing a Warrior (or any class) when someone wants to. And someone who wants to easily solo to 60 doesn't want to play Warrior, because it's the epitome of a grouping class.

Advising them of that is like telling someone who wants a fast Street Fighter character to avoid Zangief (ie. good advice). So if what OP truly wants is a soloable melee character, everyone should suggest an SK (or Monk, or whatever) ... or at least they should if the OP asked for class advice (which they didn't).

But if someone says "man, I watched these great Youtube videos of Blanka back in the 90's, so now I'm going to go load up an emulator and play Street Fighter 2", you don't tell them "Blanka is a trash character and if you pick him you're playing the game wrong, so what you really need to do is play Ryu for 10k hours ..." :eek:

[Vexenu]

At this point in the server's life, an untwinked legitimate newb player on a Warrior is likely to be gifted several thousand plat worth of items by level 20, simply by grouping with the alts of established players. Just a few pieces of Cobalt/Crusty armor, SCHW, HP rings and a couple of those super cheap but very solid Warrior-only weapons will make an enormous difference.

[Rader]

Seriously

All these min max and or gear based discussions miss a vital point

if you suck, you suck

if you are good, you are good

spoiler. if you need advice on what race class to play, you are the former

hate to agree with something Toxigen said, but this response is basically a snarky comment that completely ignores the point. Everyone is twinked on the servers now. As a warrior your job is to hold aggro. If you're not twinked you won't hold aggro over the twinked DPS. No one on P99 at this stage is a fan of having to root every mob and keep it rooted just so that the warrior can keep aggro. Groups will not be thrilled and you will not enjoy your time on the warrior.

I also mained an untwinked warrior back in the day, so speaking from experience lol.

So OP should go play an Enchanter he doesn't want to play for a year to fund a future Warrior :rolleyes:?

Some people are too immersed to remember that P99 is a video game. "Don't play the video game you want, play something else for a year first" is bad advice for any game.

People are giving him advice on how to make a warrior actually viable and playable.

"I want to play this" doesn't really work when the class is totally broken and not able to function without gear, because DPS is its aggro generation and no one wants to have to root every single mob so the warrior can keep aggro.

By all means, "play what you enjoy" and you will quickly not enjoy the warrior without some gear.

You both raise valid points - the undergeared warrior in context of a bunch of ntov twinks won't keep aggro against them though (unless someone roots).

I don't think that is an issue though. All melee tank sufficiently well in xp content, even rogues if they haven't neglected their defence/ac stats (which they won't have if in NToV twink gear, right?).

Literally all you need to start leveling a Warrior decently is one of these ultra-cheap weapons and some Crusty armor. This stuff is honestly not even worth the time to sell for most established players, and the vast majority would just give these items for free to a new player who could use them. Buy SCHW, HP rings and fill in armor slots with cheap Cobalt/random Velious pieces along the way and you can easily level a Warrior to 50ish and Planar/Thurg level very cheaply. Absolutely no need to roll a farming class first.

[Rimitto]

Here's my advice.

1) If you're thinking about farming stuff to make money, don't bother, you ARE the target for the farming community, not the seller.
2) Grab everything, Sell everything.
3) We're at end velious era, so abuse that to get some really good gear really cheap.
4) Selling out to a guild will get you access to lots of twinked assists.
5) Being evil is much faster at leveling than being good.

[cd288]

Yeah and as someone who played an untwinked warrior as a main they're completely pointless in groups until they get geared. No one wants to root every single mob just so you can maintain aggro. At least not in modern day when everyone knows that almost any other melee would be a better choice.

[Gozuk]

At this point I'd rather group with the patch work Warrior than an over the top twink. I couldn't care less if they can hold agro great or do a lot of damage. It would be refreshing if anything and I'm sure their better attitude and enthusiasm for the game would make up for any shortcoming as far as their gear. I'm just here to have fun.

I still so badly want to do a self-funded (no twink) static iksar trio of monk / necro / shaman. Kickin it Kunark, old school style.

Unfortunately I don't think there are two other people left on p99 that would want to do this.
