A level 65 druid can use gear from Time; although you can enter at 62 without a flag (or at level 1 if you use the Herald of Druzzil Ro in PoK), 65 is required to equip items. At this stage in the game, standard Defiant gear (Elaborate for 65), Trio jewellery and level 65 required SoF drops will cover most slots. So we are looking for the missing slots (waist, range, face, primary, secondary, ne More ...

These are zones that SOE want to encourage traffic to; in their announcement, they claimed that a Paludal Caverns level of experience could be maintained all the way up to 60.

There's a relatively recent thread on Necrotalk that gives gear recommendations for level 45. If the necro is genuinely level 45 (or a little higher), then the TSS quest gear from Scout Madru in Goru'kar Mesa will probably replace the visible slots.
This bit is old - 2003, at a guess; but still relevant for lower levels. Tak More ...

Yes, the title is a deliberate parody of the money making guides sold from web sites for EQ, and the continual posts on EQ forums from ignorant newbies wanting to find that hidden way to wealth, riches and rapid level advancement. The real truth is that no such store of secrets exists, and if a system did exist that was easy, SoE would remove it faster than they nerf bards.
Having said that, More ...

The origin of the post was the necro forum; it has been modified somewhat by me.
What are race and class penalties?
At some point in 2006, race penalties were abolished. The halfling racial bonus remains, as does a bonus for both rogues and warriors. The good old/bad old class (or hybrid) penalty was removed a long time ago, although, while penalties were in place, the More ...

These are the quick and easy skill ups for different trade skills. Note that skill ups are fastest when within 20 points of the trivial, bourne out by several tradeskillers, but this can be overridden by price or convenience of a higher trivial item.

Making heady kiola is a necessary grind for skilling tailoring up to 158, which is required for the Coldasin Prayer Shawl, among others. It is the last tailoring skillup stage that can easily be made using store bought components, apart just from the (expensive) ribbons. The biggest problem with heady kiola is deciding where to make it; the sap isn't sold in Abysmal Sea, the Plane of Knowledge, More ...

Classic PL rules

[edited from my posts on EQ Cleric forums]
I normally agree with all the posts about how to learn a class you have to play one up through the levels as a main. But I'm not sure that I do for a cleric. The reason being that cleric style changes a lot at key levels.
Before 39, a cleric is comparable to a druid that can't nuke/snare, or a shaman that can't slow - but with bigger heals. More ...

Hollowshade Moor is one of the most entertaining zones in the game - provided you aren't attempting to gain experience there. It's a zone that I have cursed many a time in the past, but that's changed now that the war script is fixed. As it now is, it serves several purposes: as an experience and quest zone for young Vah Shir (14-30); a source for high level smithing components; probably the mos More ...
Beastlords/Tailoring
For slightly lower level Vah Shir, the zone provides drops for their trade skill quests, and for the sonic wolf bane weapons. These depend on mobs that generally speaking only exist when the zone is in the default state, and disappear during war times. The following drops will be looked for:
This is a programmable button pad with a D cursor control button, like a cross between a numeric keypad and a console gaming pad.

A few notes on this subject, regarding buffing.
Anyone collecting acrylia ore knows that it sells well in the Bazaar, and has probably got some sort of system for pricing it to sell, based on keeping a close check on others prices. What you may also have noticed is that when someone is buying acrylia, they often buy almost all that is available on the market at one time. Unless you do tailoring or smithing yourself, you may not be aware of th More ...
There are two cycles in Skyfire, each with its own spawn point. One spawns around loc -2245, +580 (about NE of Wiz portal); this is not an exact loc as they pop relatively close to there and a Druid tracker at least can pick up the PH's. The Second spawn point is around -1073, +3249 approximately.
These are intended for Vah Shir, but Ghulam is all large races (including iksar), and all Vah Shir classes. Others are all races, all classes bar silk wearers. Each quest involves collecting 4 of something.
