Green99 pro strats and early game goals

- Poop in bags. I've already been saving my plastic grocery store bags for several weeks and have a proper toilet seat mounted to a 5 gallon bucket. I'm also lucky in that my garbage pick up bin is right below my bedroom window. It's still a solid 12 feet away from my desk, but I'm thinking I can just rush to the window between spawns and throw my poop bags directly into my can for the garbage collection on Mondays.

- I just "broke up" with my last RL friend. Known the guy for twenty years but if I didn't let him go, I know he'd just be communicating with me and trying to hang out and stuff while I'm playing. Also no girlfriend, because I'm red pilled to the max and don't want to lower my standards.

- Been stocking up on tuna fish pouches and boxes of ritz crackers for those late camp munchie attacks. I'm also thinking about moving my refrigerator into my bedroom and stocking it with 100% ready-to-eat food items that way I never have to cook or do dishes.

- I'm also retraining my body to become comfortable with a polyphasic sleep cycle. That basically means I'll take like one 2 hour nap per day, and offset that with short micro naps of like 20-35 minutes at a time, depending on what I'm camping. I've also secured a small supply of caffeine pills to help me when I absolutely can't sleep at all. And I mean real caffeine pills, manufactured by the Soviet Union specifically for long-term storage in case of protracted warfare. Sweet deal out of Ukraine, meant to hit you like a bolt of lightning.

- Main goals are to create the top raiding/farming guild on Green and maintain complete dominance of the raid scene for the entire classic timeline. Think TMO and Aftermath, but more hostile and edgy and driven by the will to conquer.

I suppose the above is fine for a borderline-casual. A true hardcore wouldn't divorce his friend, he'd coerce him into playing his character in 12 hour shifts. Some would say you should do the same for a girlfriend, but only people who've never seen a real gf play an MMO (*shudder*).

If your body isn't already attenuated to caffeine after a lifetime of gaming you are lying to yourself that you'll be able to pull this off. I've got an adrenaline drip set up next to my gaming chair, which of course is a toilet to negate the need for stocking up on bags. Make sure to stand up at least once every 4 hours or so else ulcers will form after the 1st week.

Green 99 is coming. You won't have that precious fungi, no more running to the EC tunnels for buffs or to try to push bones and silk for crucial early cash. What are some early quests, techniques, strategies you do on a fresh EQ server? What are some early goals and gear you try to achieve? What is on your fresh start checklist? Share your strats, goals, tips, and tricks below!

Gasp people will have to /group, instead of soloing all the content in twink gear.

awesome posts. going to get the scoop on all of these bag quests at once on the double

You could farm backpacks or the gold to buy them off noob mobs before you could circle norrath to pick up those containers. Or better, do certain mail quests for guaranteed xp and coin without competing over mob kills.

Plays 20-year-old game. Doesn't think it's stupid.

Thinks how you play 20-year-old game is stupid.

This is definitely classic.

Maybe the idea is you grab one bag local to your character just to help load up bonechips, store food etc, until you can afford bags, and not run around the entire world.

For me first thing I like to run to quest NPCs who give you a bag, such as

https://wiki.project1999.com/Crush_the_Undead
https://wiki.project1999.com/Skeleton_Killing
https://wiki.project1999.com/The_Cigar
https://wiki.project1999.com/Ice_Goblin_Beads
https://wiki.project1999.com/Air_Tight_Box_Quest

Until you can get some backpacks of your own

I like your ambition Thugnuts. Also the level of detail to your plans.

There is only one thing wrong with Thugnuts's list - twenty years ago, he would have been playing EverQuest when it first came out and would not have had any friends back then either! [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

I think some dudes here are over looking the functionality of a barb sham having a guise. Making that trip for spells sucks.
