Recently learned some crazy stuff from the wiki about Opal Darkbriar in West Freeport.

http://wiki.project1999.com/Opal_Darkbriar

I always remembered seeing her and hailing her there, but had no idea why I sometimes got faction hits +/- with her while doing other stuff in the game. Still don't know the whole story what's going on with her, but intrigued nonetheless.

That is quite interesting. I love stuff like this.

A lesson I never seem to learn. Always bind near where you're hunting.

Died in Upper Guk on my bard yesterday after logging in at Oasis. Forgot that I was still bound in OT... that CR is going to suck.

If i'm bound in Antonica and I need to go to kunark for something but I don't want to change my bind, then I just hammer and put it in the outpost bank with some vendor drums so I can hammer back if I die. Thought it may be helpful.

I was recently convinced that lute helps with bard lull. An old dog learned a trick he should have known years ago.

crude stein helps lull more than instrument i believe

I recently learned that some of the P99 wiki appears to be updated from what "should have been" instead of what actually is.

I've been camping the hermit in SK for a few levels, and the wiki said you could hail him for a quest and/or "say" something to him to lure him out. Both of these appear to be incorrect.

Either it was changed, or it was never implemented, or I just did it wrong?

no clue where i "remember" this from, probably kunark/velious era on live, but i believe the aggro range reduction is based on stringed skill?? stein would just help with overall avoiding resists.

You're welcome. Yeah, check to see if it's just a hardware issue with the keyboard itself. For the binding bit, if you can find one entry that uses ', it'll show you if it's bound to a second command by changing the color of ' to red. If that's the case, you'll have to hunt down the second command.

Hopefully it's one of those two issues so you can once again type with proper punctuation while playing. If not...might be an OS or keyboard driver issue, or background programs running that are stealing your apostrophe for their own evil purposes. That would take some digging on your part.

Ugh, I tried resetting bindings to default and that didn't even work.

This key works fine in all other applications, just not EQ.

I learned recently thst /whot will do a /who command on your target. Useful for joining be groups and you wanna know what classes and levels you're with.

I learned that the begging skill is considered an attack. Learned it the hard way on a guard. [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

Actually its a critical fail of Begging that makes them attack. Sometimes it works successfully and you get money.

Also I learned that the Rat Man Guard in The Hole that carries the SK epic piece is a myth.

Hide all existing corpses in a zone. Super useful.
