COACHS

1. Try to get your coach before you actually need them! Don’t wait till you get a group to find out you don’t have the needed coach!
2. To get BW coach: from FW, go out the exit follow path down to the little market area, from there, follow road south to the guarded bridge. From the bridge, follow the river east. Soon you will come upon a couple of water locks, or dams if you prefer, there is a fork in the river there but the water locks kind of masks them, just be sure not to follow the river north, you want the east branch of the river. Keep running east along river, soon the river will begin to turn south. BW will be on the left side of the river. You can use the river, riverbanks, and both sides of the river to avoid bad mobs.
3. To get Haz coach from Grobb, make your way to the east coast, follow the coast north, soon you’ll see a large statue on the south side of the river and the a city on the other side of the river.The coach is inside of the city. There is a road you can follow from Grobb that leads thru Guk and takes you Haz.
4. To get SFG coach from DM. This is really easy to do without SOW or INVIS, if you simply take your time and watch out for nasties! From DM, run west by northwest, SFG is two zones away to the NW as the crow flys. However, the safest way is to run north and slightly west to Blackburrow zone, then run full west two zone to SFG.
5. To get Moradhim coach from DM. From DM coach run east to the river behind the coach. Follow the river north. Use the river and the river banks to avoid nasties. Run north along the river for 3 zones! When you get to Diren Village zone, get on the east side of the river. Soon will be running along some mountains, and soon you will see a wooden fort, which is Direns’s hold, when you see the Diren’s hold, look for a pass between the mountain heading east! Make your way east, sightly south too, soon you will enter Moradhim zone, and will see Moradhim city. The coach is outside of the city alond the road, and not inside the tunnels.
6. To get Fay coach from Klick; from coach head out west gate and follow road till road ends, which is past a small village. From the end of the road, just run west, slightly south, till you see the coach!
7. To get HB coach. From FP coach; run east to the first dock, there is a dock guy there, talk to him, he will ask you if you want to go to the new world, say yes! When you get to the new world you will next to the dock guy there, talk to him. He will ask you if you want to go to the old world, say yes, this time you will be given a choice of going to HB or FP, go to HB.

FORMING GROUPS

1. Refrain from inviting two tanks into a group! Tanks; Pal, War, Sk.
2. Refrain from inviting two Healers into a group! Healers; Sha, Clr, Dru.
3. Refrain from inviting two Mana givers into a group! Mana; Brd, Enc, Nec.
Note; this one rule can bend a lot, mana givers serves multiple purposes and therefore can work together very well.
4. Do not invite a mana-bard and Alcemist into same group, unless it is ok with them. A Bard mana song somehow interferes with the Alc’s mana potions.
5. Keep the levels of your group members within close range of each other.
6. It may be helpful to have your Tank be 1-3 levels higher than your healer and the rest of the group. This will help with potential argo-pulling problems.
7. If you are going to be a group leader, that is, the one who will be inviting others to your group, try to get a camp first before you form your group!!! I for one hate it when I get invited to group, just to be asked, “where you all want to hunt?”!!! A group leader is suppose to be a LEADER!
8. Do not form a group if you know your are going to be quitting before too long! It’s just rude!

LFG TOOL

1. Do not invite someone from off the LFG tool just for a REZ without sending them a TELL first! Remember, they’re on the LFG Tool to get a group, not to REZ you!

SHOUTS

1. Do not spam by shouting out crap. Yes, you think you’re funny. Yes, you think you’re sexy. Yes, you think you know it all. However, we all know; you’re not funny, nor sexy, and most of all, we all know you know next to nothing! Shut up please!
2. When talking EQ to your friends, do so in private tells!!! Quit trying to impress everyone with your great intellect! All you are really doing is spamming up the text screen with your useless BS!
3. If your name is Bulldogtician, just STFU, you’re an idiot, punk, etc… you can dish out crap to noobs but not man enough to take it yourself!

ASKING FOR REZ, INVIS, SOW, ETC…

1. If you want SOW, or anything, from a fellow player, Hail the player by name, then state what you want! Do not run up to them and just Hail, Hail, Hail! Or worse, run up to them and just BOW, or WAVE. The person you want something from is not psychic!!! Beside, it’s just bad form, and shows just how little manners you have!
2. Do not expect a player to stop everything he is doing just to SOW you! You are not that important! Really! You’re not!
3. Say thank you for what ever you just got.

DYING, DEATH, DEAD

1. When your group get their butts handed to them by a mob, and the mob is now coming after you, and you know you are going to die…. Just die! Do not run to the nearest group in hopes that they will peel it off of you and save you! They may not be ready, and if not6, guess what, not only are you going to die, you may shared your death with an innocent other(s)! Bad Bad Bad form! Take your death like a man, and die!
2. Debt at low level is nothing! NOTHING! Get back to camp and kill a FEW mobs and guess what? Yep debt gone! So stop getting mad about dying and getting debt at low levels!
3. Debt at higher levels sucks, we know that. If, you can get a REZ to ease the debt level, and you can do it fast, then do so, just don’t make your group wait forever while your precious self gets a REZ! Besides, if you just get back to your group and XP, you’ll XP that debt away a lot faster!
4. You have a Sha or Dru in your group. You die. You say, ‘I am leaving group to get a better REZ’! Bad Form! Yep! The difference in debt aint all that much. But go ahead, make your group WAIT, hassle the group leader to reinvite you! How selfish of an act!
5. If you’re dying, and you know it, clap your hands! Hehe, Ok, if you are dying, look around fast and try to die where you can be REZ’d without needing INVIS. You should plan ahead. When you get to a camp, study it for a good place to die!
6. Here is a helpful utility for Healers who has Invis. If you want to REZ yourself back to where you died with INVIS, you can! Have your REZ and INVIS abilities on your tool belt close together. REZ yourself and then start clicking on you INVIS very fast. When the popup comes up asking you if you want to Invis, do not click on it right away, wait till the INVIS takes affect, once in does click on yes to REZ. Now you’ll REZ back to where you died, with INVIS!
7. To REZ someone back to where they died; Be in same group, and hide behind a building, even if the health bar is still visible, because there is no line of sight the recently deceased will go back to where they died. TY Onyxia.
8. To Spot-REZ someone, that is, to REZ someone without sending them back to where they died; invite them into group, REZ them while you can see their health bar!

QUESTS

1. Do all of your start up quests, that is, quests 1, 3, 5, 7, 10, and 15. Some of these give you abilities and gear!
2. The primary quests to do are the ones, which give you abilities and path choices. 20, 23, 25, 27, 30, 33, 35, 37, 40, 43, 45, 47, 49. These quests, you should never skip. Also, some of these levels has multiple quests, example; the 23s. The only part of the multiple quest of the 23s you need to do is the ability part, the rest you can skip, unless you need the gear and experience that they will give you!

ODSS AND ENDS

1. Do carry extra Food and Drinks (ither, lower or higher level than your current level)! If you are somewhere, where there’s no bank and just merchants, and you need money, you can sell for same price as you buy them and there is almost always a merchant nearby to sell when you need a little tunar. TY Zata.

AUCTIONS

1. If you’re unsure about how much a rare would sell for on the auction. On the start menu, hit auction and type in the item you have or are looking for and a list will come up. If, it isn't on the list, then do a search on the closed auctions. TY Thigthethug.

ML=MasterLooting

1. When you ML, do not destroy junk or gems until you ask if anyone wants them!
2. You may want your ML’er to be a pet caster because the pet will be fighting, thereby adding damage while the caster is looting. This is especially helpful when the tank is chainpulling. TY Kastigir.
3. When the group is heading out to the camp to grind, do ask your DDs if they have room for loot! Slow your XP down if no one has room to loot! TY Crazydavis!

yep.. i like it!

I'll add more to each catagory as I can... for example the coachs... newbies has troubles getting to new coachs at lowbie levels! I am always running newbies for coachs, or telling peeps how to get to one.

There are catagories I want to add too, Gems, auction, Gear.

I want to add helpful hints, stuff that we veterns take for granite but is not apparent to newbies!

Example.... do not carry money on ye, if you die you'll lose half of what you're carrying.

OK ... dont carry tunar on you....
But do carry max Food and Drinks!
They sell for same price as you buy them and there is almost always a merchant nearby to sell when you need a little tunar.

Ah drats!

Wish you had told me that sooner Thig!

I went and sold a black sapphire for 350k on auction...and I could have sold it to you for 1000 Tunar....darn!

Can I sell you a rose of renewal for 1000 Tunar?

Ty guys... I've added your additions...

I will add more as I can...

I am wondering what the limit in text length in a single post?!?
Haggan, if you get a chance.... I think it may be 10K.

When heading out for a grind, non takns need to be sure they have room to loot. Most melles are good about this because they usually take care of it. In cases where you grab 2 mages and a cleric and they all think someone else is looting, they sometimes show up with full or near full inventories. This leaves the job of looting on the tank who may already be caring 2 sets of armor and weps.

On the subject of ML, I prefer it to be a pet caster. Simply because the pet will start fighting first, thereby adding damage until the caster is finished looting. This is especially helpful when the tank is chainpulling.

Well Sing, I have about 15 MB of webspace, if you think that will be enough.

Nice site Sing.

What does Tripod have against apostrophes? lol

YUes!!! I know... I need to get in there and do some major edits!



TY T.

Actually pet casters in my group tend to stay close, they cant get their power fix if they are not close. They also have less need for extra gear in their inv, and it is not hard to control pets in the seconds it takes to loot, or atleast not for me. It is actually easier for them to loot since I am more likly to have buffs to cast and need to be central to the group.

I agree and disagree. I agree that you shouldn't send blind invites to people in the vicinity. If, however, they're on the LFG tool, they're wanting a group. When I'm LFG, I'll take all the blind invites I can get.
