Well. There's no place with all that info that doesn't require that you spent a bit of your time searching first.

Spell info (including duration) can be found on this site (at least I think so). Also, castersrealm.com is a pretty good source for spell info (although they've been slow to update stuff recently). Both sites will include comments about how to use the spells. Note, that those are user comments, so take them all with a grain of salt. Any idiot with fingers can post.


Mob spawn times can be found on this site in the beastiary section. Very easy to find, usually lots of comments posted on each creature (or at least the interesting ones). See above about quality of comments though. Most info is accurate, but some isn't. Do you own research...

[link=home.inreach.com/kai/EQTimer/]EQTimer[/link]

or even here:

[link=www.horizonsoutpost.com/eq/timer.asp]UI Timer[/link]

I have to jump to Gbaji's defence here he never flames people without reason and is usually a tremendous source of infomation but you have to look at where he is coming from, the question was ambigous <spelling?> and the poster has not taken time to research the question in any way to help people find the answer for him.

This is not a flame just a pointer, look for at least the basics of the question you are asking and then post in detail what you wish to know.

Wow. Yeah. I didn't think I was "jumping" on anyone. He asked about timers, but specically mentions kei, virtue, and mob spawns.

There's a timer in the game already. You don't need a third party software to run that. Heck. You can go to a store and spend 2 bucks on a kitchen timer and it'll work just fine (we use those on raids all the time). All of those are useless if you don't know how long the spell will last, or what the respawn rate of the mob is, so that's what I pointed him in the direction of.

At some point, he's going to have to set the timer he's using, no matter where he gets it from. I'm just thinking ahead I guess...

Off topic, but what the hell is the command to get the timer up again, if you closed it at start up. I have tried /timer /clock /alarm... and anything else I could think of to get the damn thing up. Never could figure it out, and have asked in game and no one was able to tell me either. Its not that big a deal, so I never posted about it, but now that this came up, I thought I would ask.

Just for the record - which superneutral unbiased entity in this forum decides if someone flames with/without reason?

If you could kindley tell me his/her name so I can ask next time I'm not sure about flaming/being flamed with/without reason

this board is even better then i thought =)

i would consider that jumping on someone if you think he should have researched more then you didnt need to say anything at all to him

he could have researched more and found it sure but isnt the point of this forum to save time so you dont have to research if you dont feel like it?


and i agree with leiany who determines if a flame is reasonable or not

also i dint find the questoin ambiguous

he asked for a timer for things not how long they last

The great god of common sence, if you are posting on topic flames i.e your post is not correct because xxxx, your are talking monkey nuts becuase xxx is attually the case. that is flaming with reason.

what i said was

Quote:

doesn't fit you definition i dont think

all i was doing was defending the original poster who said

Anyone know a good timer for things like kei or virt or spawn times might be found

he asked for a good timer which i think is what this forum is for to get others advice on what they consider good or bad yes he coulda reserched timers and found a million but that wouldnt have told him if they were good or not

i too have seen that gbaji usually has good info and gives good help but in this case he jumped on the guy without cause because he misunderstood what he asked for

plus i stand by what i said before if you are not gonna be constructive there is no need to say anything

if you think someone should do more research himself before posting then just dont answer
but if you feel the need to rebuke him at least give him some good info too
