Classic.

That reminds me of when luclin was out and i found an area of a zone which had a mob which kept respawning regardless of if the previous one was killed. There were literally hundreds of the same mob stood on each other, the framerate TANKED when you go near that area.

I dread to think what the train would of looked like if someone aggroed it [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

Honest question. Will Green launch with actual classic Fish Roll baking where you could make a substantial profit from the vendor because it returned 2 per combine? I guess a follow up question would involve profit from vendor from making bows until it was nerfed near Kunark's launch.

Aside from the obvious method of making banded armor and then doing Tunnel Quest, I'm looking at classic ways of making cash that won't involve competing with the hordes of players in their teens / early 20's killing anything that might drop a bronze weapon or bandit sash.

I highly suspect Green will indeed not have a bunch of little things that were nerfed as exploits. However, only a dozen or so people have access to that information and I haven't seen anything from them about it since Green's super casual announcement.

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!

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

Until you can get some backpacks of your own

This is a great idea for a thread where we can all share what we know. I hope we can get it back on topic!

Players starting in Gfay can visit the Warrior guild in Kelethin for a free 4 slot bag with medium capacity. http://wiki.project1999.com/Shark_Meat_Quest

This one is from Ak`anon 10 slots, small capacity. http://wiki.project1999.com/Crate_for_Tonics

This noobie quest starts in Kaladim (there's a Qeynos version too) it yields random rewards, one of them is a +3 int earring! http://wiki.project1999.com/The_Gnome_Take

This is a level 5-6 quest that starts in Neriak, yields a 6 slot 5% WR bag with small Capacity http://wiki.project1999.com/Featherweight_Pouch

Hopping on the pro bag strat train, here's my favorite starter bag.
http://wiki.project1999.com/Tailored_Large_Bag
You make them from Low Quality Bear Skins and a Silk Cord. Trivial at 36, so accessible pretty early. Though they have 2 less slots than a backpack, they weigh only 0.8 and have 10% weight reduction. For certain races/classes, they're better; and even on medium-strength characters, it can be nice to mix and match some backpacks and medicine bags and these things.

LQ Cat and Wolf skins make similar light 6-slot bags with smaller item size capacity, so perhaps useful for characters not near bears.

Dont forget to buy large sewing kits! Work on that tailoring while youre out in the brush as a bonus [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

And having the containers eat all the contents if you accidentally touch the combine button. Classic.

Well, some the potential strats also depend on which totally non-classic P99 specific nerfs go in on green right away. Examples being, are PBAoE spells going to be nerfed to 25 mobs on day 1? Are Seafuries going to drop copper and seafoam, or will they be back to Ruby Crowns on the regular? These types of things will alter my playstyle choices for sure.

I believe people brought back word from that EQ con Q&A that the devs confirmed those kind of nerfs would be live on green from day one.
