The super-simple and cheap recipe to get your starting tradeskill over 100?
Baking: Fish Rolls
Brewing: Fetid Essence
Smithing: Worked Silver Chain
Any others?
Where to buy arrows or throwing weapons since they are not normally stocked by merchants in PoK? You’ll typically have to go to a home town to buy generic arrows and throwing weapons. Otherwise you’ll have to make your own, buy them from players or loot them from creatures that drop them. Some creatures drop arrows, but not many drop throwing weapons.
The Chaotic Jester veteran reward has indirectly caused deaths by summoning items onto your mouse cursor. The jester will affect all players within range, not just group members. It can cast through walls. You cannot open a door or click on a teleporter or zoneout with anything on your mouse cursor. If your group has to run for zoneout and nothing happens when you click, you may notice the message about your hands being full, and look on your cursor to see what is probably poison food / drink (about 95% of the time in my experience) and open your inventory window to auto-inventory it or destroy it, but now it’s too late, the mobs chasing you have caught up and killed you.
There’s a merchant in Dulak’s Harbor you can use only if you have Sneak ability. I’m pretty sure all players start off KoS to his faction. Where else are there KoS merchants?
Enchanter Tash line of spells are irresistible, but can be cured with any spell that cures poison.
Most spells that Slow your melee attacks can be cured with a Cure Disease.
There’s a guy in Plane of Growth that will kill you for asking about "Phat Lewtz". Yup, Cazic Touch pwns you.

Did you know the game is now so different it's basically a new game?
Can you imagine trying to play this game with no ooc medding, with a rusty sword - saving up plat to finish your set of mega-uber banded armor??
You were so weak that for the most part you had to group to kill blues!
That's how this game was! See how you med while sitting in combat? That's about how you medded ooc (or slower) - so in fast respawn hotspots like HHK you could get pops before you were ready!
We talked about all sorts of stuff during those long slow meds between fights.
For instance, a bard I was grouped with (in - amazingly - all bronze armor - with a couple of pieces of npc-bought steel plate!!!). He told me about (sorry if you read the other thread where I posted this one) a quest you could repeat over and over in Qeynos - and amazingly you could make like 8 to 12 plat a run!
I didn't believe him. But a day later I was in So Qeynos near the mage guild, and I heard a couple of people say "who Neclo?" So I looked into this, and it was REAL. OMG! TEN WHOLE PLAT A RUN??????? Amazing! What you did was, you said "who Neclo" to a guy at the mage guild, and he asked you to run a note out to Neclo at the tower in Q hills. Neclo then gave you some lvl 40-something spell (like arc shielding) - which you could sell for about 10 plat!
Then you ran it again! And again! Barbs and others w/ bad faction (dubious) were ticked off, so I'd always drop a few notes on the ground for them. They'd run out to neclo - as long as they had the note, they could get the spell to sell, too.
Well, for a few months those of us who knew about this quest used it here and there to get money we needed - a few exploited it to the hilt - but most of us got bored doing it too much. We just upgraded our armor and weaps - and had money to pay for binds and sows - and the occasional teleport (high lvl porters were kind of rare). We didn't feel bad - hey, we suddenly had that 80 or 120 plat it took to buy a Flowing Black Robe (ooooooooo!) or whatever. Of course we started to worry if it was against the rules to do it - cuz it seemed like way too much money for just running out to Q Hills.
Some of us still did the quest, cuz plat was SO hard to come by, and they used to put out a "list" of bannable offenses - and this quest was never on it - and other people found where verant/Sony said that doing any "working quest" was not bannable unless you hacked it or something - and we weren't hacking it. Well, after months of this, it came to pass that dozens of people were doing the Neclo quest, 24/7, and they had to act. I mean, the air in Qeynos was thick with "who Neclo" - and people who could bind affinity were binding either right next to the quest giver or Neclo - and those who couldn't do that were screaming UNFAIR - and - it was funny. But, as I said, the ax had to fall - and it did.
On the Nameless, which was fairly new (I'd moved there cuz my old server was WAY too crowded), an actual GM showed up (a barbarian) and started KILLING Neclo everytime he spawned! EEP! Some of hte players got SO MAD they attacked the GM, and he got VERY PISSED and threatened us for attacking him. They didn't care, and claimed to be calling down a RAID on the GM! He got VERY pissed and really threatened us ... and we chickened out for the most part (people did cast at him and run (edit - one high lvl guy did attack the GM (or talked him into dueling) - we didn't know GMs could fight us - it was WEIRD - and I forget what happened, but ... man, I think the GM actually did get killed once - and he came back pretty fast and maybe that was what made him so pissed - dang, I wish my memory wasn't so fuzzy - this was maybe seven years ago - I do remember something very 'eventful' like a player killing a GM happening - that or he made the GM gate out)). Then, finally they tweaked some code so Neclo wouldn't spawn any more. I saw it happen - there was no reset or anything...
...but I think Neclo had his revenge, cuz a few weeks later the Nameless had a MASSIVE shutdown and rollback - it was painful - but - Neclo was back! And the developers were so busy fixing what was really broken that we were able to hit Neclo for his plats for a few more months! Hah! That was funny.
Well, seeing that GM get so mad was interesting. I wonder if we could have hurt him *(edit, now that I think about this, someone did hurt the GM - he was HOPPING MAD (and that was pretty funny, cuz the GMs on Nameless were a bit abusive at that time - we enjoyed watching him fume!)). There were rumors that GMs had "no drop" items that made them uber (some of us talked about hoping they weren't no drop and looting them!), like a ring of 10k hp or mega-regen. I wish we had swarmed the guy just to see what would have happened.
Anyway, it was a totally different game. Eventually Neclo got fixed so he only gave a lvl 4 spell and not a 46 spell. So I made a chanter to run the Stein of Moggok Quest. But more on that and discovering "HOLES in the WORLD" - yes, real holes! Coming soon....

You cannot open a door or click on a teleporter or zoneout with anything on your mouse cursor.
Did you know.....?
That you can press the U key (for Use) to open doors, use teleporters, PoK books, zoneout objects when you have an item (or items) on your mouse cursor.
That there are certain quests and zones that require you to actually have a specific item on your cursor and press U in order to continue the quest or to zone.
That pressing the U key has a wider area of "effect" in that it's the object infront of you that you are viewing and not just the point of your mouse. This is often usefull when trying to click on objects that are somewhat above you by looking up at the object and pressing U.
I spent alot of time on some of my old characters hunting muddites in King Xorbb's Gorge... I was amiable to Runnyeye rather quickly it seemed.
Did you know:
Using the find command in Fironia Vie only shows the soulbinder... but that soulbinder is at the relocated "good outpost".
That a common use of the evil eye shroud is to charm the skeleton in the Overthere for the Worker's Sledgemallet (gate-to-OT-proc) quest.
That Drakkin of certain classes (necro, sk) can have alot of difficulty finding friends in Fironia Vie and/or the outpost... and that making a level 1 dark elf (for Overthere)or something good (for Fironia Vie) is the fastest way around the issue (for those with spell turn ins to do for level 50s spells).
Bears and Wolves (and likely more) in Goru'kar Mesa are tagged as casters so you can mana drain them.
That committing Kobald Genocide in the Warrens is a good thing --in the eyes of both Erudin and Paineel Erudites. The Paineel key now key rings... as does the Hole key you buy in Paineel.
Ever killed the level 25 "raid mob" in the Warrens that resembles a giant froglok tad? It's called the Muglwump --take a shrouded force of all 25 and under (or alts) and see how tough npc chanters are (I was always jealous of chanter mobs --even as a chanter).
Giving newbs/lowbies in Gloomingdeep Coldain Velium Weapons (such as https://everquest.allakhazam.com/db/item.html?item=21793 ) will cost you less than 100p and will make them feel mighty and respected... and you aren't handing them the first 50 levels or 100k either.

Rundle, that's great info. I always forget about the Use ability from the U key. I just hope I remember it the next time I need it. I think one place you need to do that is when you try to access the 7th Hammer in PoJ. You need to have a mark on your cursor and U key under one of the portals to get to the 7th hammer room I think.
Is there still a message board in a S. Qeynos tavern?
Ipthar, sorry for the mis-info. I believe you're right and that you can fish while floating over water as long as you don't sink into the water.

I find it truly hard to believe you've never gotten a resist or agro using these spells, but I suppose it's statistically possible.
Never with the paladin spell "pacify". Not since the changes to the spell lines that is. IIRC, the failures I've had have all been on my chanter who is much lower level (and I'm only vaguely remembering that happening and still not completely sure it wasn't before the fixes to the lines. I have some memories of issues with lull back at Orc3 in EC I think...).
Let me preface this by pointing out that there may be a level range issue here. I was already in my 50s with my paladin when they "fixed" the spell lines, so the only spell I ever used with my paladin was the level 49 "pacify" spell. Since that only affects mobs up to level 55, it might simply be that I've never used it against any mob that was high enough level to actually have more then a tiny chance of failure, much less critical failure. In fact, I'm not sure if I've ever used it on a mob that conned more then yellow to me (can't remember what level I was at the time of the fix, but I do remember hanging out at level 52 for a long time to do Naggy/Vox raids back in the day).
I used to pull LDoNs all day long using pacify. Never failed. I pulled mobs in PoN and PoV. Same deal. I remember leading a series of dungeon crawls to farm shards in the Deep. Single pulling each member of each spawn along the way, for hours at a time for many many days. Never got a fail.
Obviously (assuming it is level based), it's never failed at all for a very long time on the rare occasions that I use it to bypass lower level mobs that it can still affect. Maybe other classes have more problems with this, but at least with this one spell, the highest relative level to you that it can possibly affect is +6 levels. It would not surprise me at all if resists are super rare, but probably a lot more common for the lower level ones (like lull, which can potentially affect a target 15 levels higher then the paladin casting it).

More words please
Yeah, I guess I was sort of extrapolating from my own experiences and assuming it happened as much to others as it did to me.
Other things have happened to me that are statistically very rare.
I've been left behind during a Succor / Evac before even though I was within range and not lagging. It can happen.
I've had Gate fail twice in a row. That's happened to me more than once, but it's pretty rare too.
Those are actual game probabilities. I once got bugged though when returning to PoK from Dranik's Scar via the Priest of Discords. I was on horseback when I used the trigger phrase "return home" and while he was casting the spell I decided to dismount for the run down the stairwell once in PoK. I dismounted right as the spell landed, and when I arrived in PoK I was .. out there .. in the ether. I was in gray space outside the walls of the city. I could see walls and part of the city inside but couldn't make any sort of forward progress when I tried to run. I camped and came back and was in the city proper. I don't recall where it put me when I logged back in though.

I just tried it and, well, I don't use First Person View (FPV), I use the 3rd person perspective with the camera behind and above me. It only ever targets myself or something behind me since the "eye" in the line of site used with the U key is in the view camera, not your character line of site.
When I switch to FPV though, wow, it works for everything. Aim your view at a door and hit U and it opens whether you have something on your cursor or not, same with portal stones. Aim at an NPC or object and hit U and it targets, left clicks and right clicks all at once!! I get a yellow system message about my target as if I selected it with a left click rather than targetted via F8, and just as if you right-clicked, you get a /con status message, or if a merchant/banker type or object like a tradeskill container it opens the interface. Targetting players this way did not give a /con message.
I guess you want to be careful about using it all the time since you can set off traps like that and stuff. I probably won't use it much though since I will stick with 3rd person view mostly for my camera. FPV has more uses than I knew of though.

I was around when they introduced Sol C and Chardok B but, you know, I've never been to Sol C. I may just have to check that out. Before it came out, there was no way to raise that faction though.

...how to find out if the Jester of Bristlebane gave you good or bad wine/bread? Bread and wine are potion belt enabled, so once you got a "good" wine, you put it on potion belt. Next time the Jester gives you his present, you just put it in inventory. If the potion belt is enabled, it's a good one.
When the level cap was 65 (and before the farmers took over) an enchanter could duo the Plane of Fear kill:
It was done with a necro and the Enchanter. The enchanter zoned in first and ran west... drawing the crowd and eating the death.
The necro zoned in second and feigned death/corpse dragged the enchanter to the west wall and then did an essence emerald rez. The actual kill wasn't that hard for two 65th level characters, its all the trash in the way. This method also left Fear up for anyone else that wanted it (aside from another enchanter).
How to pull the mob from the temple without killing everything else is discussed heavily on the actual thread so I won't talk about that (it also might not work anymore with the changes to pet aggro?).
Back then you could also (probabaly still works) have the same necro aggro the golems on the walls in The Hole to get summoned up the levels. If the chanter did the wise thing and got themself killed early on then it was another essence emerald rez right outside the ghost of Kindle Spawn. About a ten minute trip including medding off the rez effects.
In this case the enchanter had ruined faction with the see invis golems and was not succeeding in travelling to the location with invises. If the golems don't hate you a person can get pretty far in the Hole with invis & invis undead.
So my point in both little stories is that Necro power and creativity can make up for groupage in many situations. Besides, its fun to accomplish things with 2 (or whatever) that people say "you need an uber group" or "you need a raid" to do.
Ironically, 5 years in EQ and I didn't start necroing until a month ago...

You can kill all the dark elf guards you want in the Neriak's and loot all their fine steel and better wpns and shields and stuff and be at Max KOS, and still....
You can bank there just fine and sell all your loot to the merchants in the Magician/Enchanter guildmaster area just fine. Just go back to mass killing guards as you roam through the citys zones streets and when you bags are full sell stuff and bank and go back to killing more!!
I used to do this when waiting for the timer for the monster missions in nektolous. I always just blew by the city entrance guards in Nektolous, because their loot is sub par for how hard they are to kill. You can invis past them also.

...there is a /hidecorpse command?
/hidecorpse all will hide all corpses in your zone except your own.
/hidecorpse off turns this off and all corpses will appear.
The most useful, and the one I always set up as soon as I log in...
/hidecorpses looted
This one will hide any corpse you loot once you finish. This is especially useful in those areas where you are either mass killing or pulling to, lets you get rid of the corpses you've already checked automatically so you can check the ones you haven't seen yet.
Note that this only applies to the corpses YOU'VE looted, not the ones looted by your party. And you have to be watchful during your loot. I've had to use the /hidecorpses off a couple of times when I was looting and too late I realized that last corpses actually did have something interesting on it.
Believe me though, this is worth the hotkeys.

This one will hide any corpse you loot once you finish. This is especially useful in those areas where you are either mass killing or pulling to, lets you get rid of the corpses you've already checked automatically so you can check the ones you haven't seen yet.
Note that this only applies to the corpses YOU'VE looted, not the ones looted by your party. And you have to be watchful during your loot. I've had to use the /hidecorpses off a couple of times when I was looting and too late I realized that last corpses actually did have something interesting on it.
Believe me though, this is worth the hotkeys.

Did you know ... that at one time you could remove the object.ini file from your Everquest folder and remove all static, interactive objects from the game (i.e. opening doors, levers, drawbridges). This simple alteration of the Everquest files was used up until pre-Planes of Power. Did you know that it allowed you to simply walk through locked doors as if they were not there? Although this trick never seemed to be exploited on a large scale (personally) the implications that my friends and I had assumed were that whole guilds could use it at the time to access the Emperor in Sshraahza Temple and Lord Inquisitor Sseru (i.e. bypass access key quests) the top mobs of that era.
Personally, I found it to be of absolutely outstanding use for my Monk friend, as mobs would get hung up on the phantom doors (phantom to us) he was pulling them through, and could split those hard to break spawns up extremely easily.
The Everquest programmers caught onto this simple alteration of the Everquest gaming experience and remedied it with a simple solution. Everytime you now log onto EQ, the server searches your EQ folders for missing files, and updates them to include the object.ini file before you can log in!

Tailoring: Crystalline Silk Shirt. You have to farm the silks, but still super simple to get to 131 tailoring.
Smithing: Emroidery Needle, trivials at 131 also.

Great recipe Nimmue. So that's what some of those confounded silks were for in Velk's. Now I wish I'd kept them instead of unloading them on my trader. No wonder they got snatched up quick.
I don't think there's any way to get around farming for tailoring components, but that looks like a pretty easy one to work on.
Did you know .. ?
There are quests in Abysmal Seal to give you up to like 54 points in every tradeskill you can do.

Some old school etiquette:
When sacrificing someone to make essence emeralds go to a dead place to bind your victim (usually shadowhaven soul binder is good). The lobby ramp in PoK is not an ideal spot to leave a ring of bodies.
Sacrifice them once and have them leave all their gear on that body. This makes the next 20-100 sacrifices faster (especially before the loot all command).
Loot every empty body as it is created, then you won't be accused of disrupting the zone.
-----
make the following social if you ever zone aggro:
/ooc running a %t to zoneline (or train to zone, etc.) %t will announce your targets name. If you target yourself and use the social it will sound a bit odd...
Its better to advise the zone exactly what you are doing that could potentially harm them, at least with a hotkey you can do something when you suddenly find yourself short of time.
I frequently hit the / to see if I am alone in a zone (often the case nowadays in under 65 areas). I like to greet people that join me in out of the way places and will say a quick ooc of what I am doing (I am not up to secret things I am worried people will find out). I also like to make sure I am not disrupting quest doers and so on if I am farming drops for other reasons.
-----
/ooc camp check please ...explains itself but has become rare. Needs to become common again in hotzones in my opinion.

As a buff-class player I tried to follow the example I saw of others that asked before they left a group if anyone needed a buff refresh. Most of the time I don't have to log immediately so its a simple courtesy. I still see this one from other players alot which is a good thing.

I can't recall any other actual child models I have seen (and mobs like murkgliders are kind of stretching the definition).
