Technically any zone with at least one level 40 or higher mob

Yes

"Silly Sonark, you just have to spend 12 hours a day in EC tunnel for a few weeks and you'll be fine."

Yes

It may be hard to find a buyer for a stack or two every now and then, but be on during the evening US time and offer 1000 Spiderling Silk and yo will get a bunch of whispesr.

Then add lhancelot to your ignore list.

Actually Baler that is a handy link but I would say that is more like the #2 spot.

#1 place to start is https://www.project1999.com/forums/s...d.php?t=159515

Learn the server rules, learn how to protect yourself, ie turning logging on to start when client starts.

I'm not going to make any presumption about your upbringing but being polite/courteous and communicating with others will take you much farther then just rushing in after mobs -- ie just basic manners -- Its how I remember players of EQ community which made things great, but there are the bad apples too.

I'm sad to say learning how to protect yourself shouldn't be the first thing expressed to a new player but I'm of the mindset ... better to know ahead of time. I'm not trying to scare you or anyone else off, but I want you to be aware the bad fruits can be really bitter and leave a nasty taste if you happen to bite into the wrong piece.

Otherwise Welcome to 99 - the memories will come back even if you restrict yourself to kunark where you don't know a lot. Actually not knowing might make it an even better experience because you get to learn things like it was back in the day. Wiki is nice even if not 100% accurate, but make a nice reference point. However at the same time, the wiki can spoil the chance to discover things without it the way the game was originally meant to be played, learning though communication with others, including the whole host of NPCs in the game designed to send you racing off to far away places and getting lost or killed along the way.

I agree that soloing when just starting out fresh on the server can seem very rough, but let me just say.... do your homework on guilds - they are not all created equal.. biggest doesn't mean best but larger can offer more potential to have others around to get the xp bar headed in the proper direction.

It takes 1000 as the baseline to get you anywhere?

Good gravy

Note I said 'every now and then'. Silk and chips always sell.

Sonark 08-17-2017 02:31 AM

Your "every now and then" applied to the stack or two part.

Or at least that's how English works.

And they don't always sell.

The only reason I ever unloaded any bone chips is because I got lucky one time when an Erudite Necro was WTBing in East Cabilis as I was running through.

Every attempt on my own to sell them always ended in failure.

IRL RNG is a lot crazier than in-game. And in-game is pretty crazy.

Yes, I know what my phrasing referenced. Every now and then it may be hard to move a stack or two. However, it will sell.

Necro's aren't the only ones to buy chips. You have SK's as well as people wanting to hand in the bone chips in places like Kaladim, etc.

I remember when I pushed a toon from 1 to 16 at Kaladim, I couldn't find enough people selling bone chips. I overpaid at like 15p per stack.

...even though you tried to change the subject of its reference retroactively.

At some unknown point, sure.

At what point did I say Necros are the only ones who are willing or able to buy bone chips?

I just said I got lucky with one one time, after months of fruitless searching from classes of all shapes and sizes.

And how far back does this memory stretch?

I held onto mine for 3+ months, and even made a thread in the Commonlands forum on this board and got nothing.

And as my forum join date suggests, I joined and started playing here Feb 2017
