If you're Silver or Gold, then /join general and ask in there, by /general your_question or /list to see the number and use /# your_question.

If you're Bronze I don't think you can join channels other than the the newbie channel which the game auto-joins you.

You can travel to the bazaar and see if any are for sale there, but that's unlikely since it's not a highly sought after item. Even as a Bronze member you can buy from other players in the bazaar, you just can't sell.

Might try asking in the Newbie channel, or hang out in the Guild Lobby and use /ooc to ask. Sometimes people have f2p box accounts and have toons in the newbie channel sometimes. Out of Character (/ooc) in the Guild Lobby will probably be better. Most people are afk there, but the few that aren't and alot of them are tradeskillers.

It's not as good as /general with 300-400 people in it, but better than nothing.

Thanks.

I got the Staff of Elemental Flux last night. I did not know it was a continuation of the Staff of Temperate Flux quest until I looked up what quest the gentleman above was doing that involved the Geerlok Automated Quill. A note should be made on the Staff of Temperate Flux page listing the quest for the Staff of Elemental Flux as a related quest. Might there be a third staff quest that I'm missing?

Sorry, can't help with the Geerlok automated Quill. When I read about the followup staff quest, I just "requisitioned" it from my Necro. He obtained it pre 2006 when research was needed for some spells. I cannot remember how I obtained it, but it was likely from the bazaar.

And just to be clear, Silver is also Free-to-Play like Bronze but with limitations raised, like 1000 AAs instead of 250 is it for Bronze. It only costs 500 Station cash (SC) or $5.00 uS to buy 500 SC to buy Silver upgrade. Even as Bronze, if you haven't spent any SC, you should have 500 just for starting a new account.

I think the AAs and channels make it well worth the 500 SC to upgrade, if you haven't already. And the whole point was that you may have already due to your level and need for the AA cap to rise.

Dude thanks again just let me say to all, this stuff is really helpful. I'm doing my own researching as well into things; don't want to seem to be asking a deluge of questions- questions you've probably answered a thousand times before. Let me ask another quick question on weapon augments because I was doing some reading last night and started scratching my head (again).

The article I was reading was saying that to use augments, you must first find the "birdbath" sealer, open it like a sewing kit (or whatever combine container) and put the item and augment in, and seal, and this is how you do it. But I haven't done this even one time. I have simply found an augment on a drop*, went "Oh cool, augment" then I just take it out of my backpack and plugged it right into the slot and it looks to me that this works- the item stats would boost up with the augment, and it looks to me sure enough that this works and I use no augment pool station. So my augments are working, yes? Even though I didn't use the birdbath? Even when I pull an aug out of my pack, the augment text on my items that can take the aug turn yellow to let me know I can put the aug in that slot. I thought this was all clearly how it's done- but when I read about the birdbath I started thinking twice and wanted to check if I am doing this right. Suffice it to say all my augs appear to be working fine.

But there are some augs that will not go in the slot. I have some augs that won't go into a slot even though it is the slot they are made for- I get a "this will produce an unusable item" type message. I keep trying to put my Adventure's Stone aug in an item but it will never go in; also my Kiki Recipe Book I tried to aug a few times but it doesn't seem to want to take an aug (of the appropriate slot) <- maybe these are the augs that need the birdbath?

Yeah this was my original idea and that's pretty much why I came here to ask about it all. Because I was thinking, the only way I'll be able to do this is to get the items then walk around the zones shouting "any gnomes who can craft Geerlok Autos?" and I thought that surely there must be a better way and I'm going to have to just go ask on some forum before walking around shouting through zones which cannot possibly be looked on well by the other gamers. I'm pretty sure there have been occasions in the past where I pissed off some people without even knowing what I was doing so was trying to cover the bases here with this question about the Pen.

Station Cash is a Sony currency used to buy stuff from in-game marketplaces (type /marketplace in the command line to see it). You can buy Station Cash with real Cash or turn in game cards for Station Cash or turn them in for game time (and some extra Station Cash if from specific vendors like Wal-Mart).

See https://everquest.allakhazam.com/wiki/Station_Cash for more details and links.

There are three levels of accounts. The first two, Bronze and Silver are Free-to-Play level, while the third, Gold, is a recurring monthly fee. Each level offers different things. See https://www.everquest.com/free/ for the differences and the FAQ which is linked there at https://www.everquest.com/faq

Just for creating an account (Bronze level) you get 500 Station Cash as a gift. Older accounts are grand-fathered in as Silver, but since Bronze are given 500 SC, you can use that 500 SC to buy the account wide upgrade to Silver, offering more character slots per server, more inventory slots, and all the other goodies, including ability to /join channels.

See https://everquest.allakhazam.com/wiki/EQ:Items_Augmentation for details about augments. Note that the bird bath is no longer used. Reading the wiki page will explain how to do it now, as does clicking on a bird bath. The simple answer is to augment something, you put the augment on your cursor then click the appropriate aug slot on the item display then confirm you want it inserted. One of the list aug types must match the clicked aug slot type.

Kiting is technique, where you Snare the intended targets, run around, generally in a large circle, stop when you have enough time to cast a nuke, then take off again until it refreshes or you have enough time to cast a different nuke.

Maybe it was a limited time thing or linked to my other accounts via the email or something. Don't know for sure, just assumed everyone got it. All my accounts are Silver now, and only the one was Bronze and never Gold, unless it got upgraded without me knowing sometime.

It was probably a limited time thing though, as I remember it being there after a few days when I first checked.
