    Hello! Hope you're having a wonderful day

    So.. What are you working on?
    What Quest? What are your characters? (level/class/race etc)
    Post the Quest link to Alla and tell us how its been going so far? (good spawns?, got trained?, bad loot luck?)

    And if you feel like.. "I ain't sharing cause everyone knows about the quest 'SSRA TABLE CLOTH OF DOOM' " Nah dawg.. i dont know that quest.. I dont know shiii about Luclin. Tell me!

    So.. Here's what I'm working on/have worked on

    My characters are 39 Ench (Deion), 37 Mage (Petboi), 36 Nec (Deadboi).. so some recent accomplishments & funny stories

    Got my level 34 Necro Pet Spell made after searching/paying for the words. Got a level40ish nec to combine and it failed :( but he felt bad and used his own words to make it for me! Very generous! (Oozetastic i think his name was! ooze something.. you're the man!)

    I've recently got my Iksar Illusion quest, which is great because Troll ruins my armor models.. now I get the regen and look dope!

    leveled in Najena a little bit to get my Mage Focuses.. only one I don't have done is the fire one.. didn't see Fire Giant Toes for sale (didn't look that hard honestly), but i haven't really had the fire pet avail since you can't buy em all so it's w/e.

    Chipped away at my necro helm quest when I was bored one night but that one will take some patience so I'll wait til around level 40+ ish so I'm overwhelmingly above the requirements.

    Finished my mana preserve ring on all 3 guys pretty easily, saw some cougar skins for cheap.. now the next free day i get i'll work on the extended range item

    Now I'm looking forward to getting my guys to 46+ each so I can get AAs, esp First Aid lmao!.. (3 Casters, no healer, mage with summon bandages, you get it).. and getting enough $$ for earring of solstice! (one of my fav items in the game)

    So.. some stories

    I've had a number of different friends come try out the server and its resulted in some pretty funny experiences while trying to get the acclimated etc..

    The most wholesome was in Qeynos noob area, the area where my friend and i originally played back in 99-00. I was PLing via FD/Pet & my friend who was getting a little greedy. His HP stay kinda low without a break and lo and behold, the god himself Fippy spawned right on top of him and slayed my bud. I have never laughed so hard in my entire life possibly. The levels of nostalgia and irony were so astronomical I couldn't control my body.

    Another similar experience was running my other friend through this quest . Something a high level character did for me when I first joined (ty Ver), but honestly.. I've NEVER exp'd there and I don't remember shit about the first time I ran it but f%# it.. this is EQ baby. So we Invis up and run through this zone.. boy.. I've never con'd shit so fast while running, constantly coaching my friend "IF YOU SEE THE IM ABOUT TO APPEAR MESSAGE YOU SCREAM AT ME", everything is Red, there's so many roamers.. ive got a great set up of the map and my EQ window so i know where i'm going kindaaa.. and finally BAM were in that little random ass room. thank GOD.. my butt hole was clenched the whole way lmao. As were about to unclick invis to get our masks, i accidentally keep moving forward.. theres TWO false doors.. one on each side of the NPC you need to turn in.. and as i materialize through the 2nd fake door.. i spot a patrol npc that's stationed right there for unsuspecting uninvisers to get mutilated by (Devs did this on purpose.. those monsters..) so my "mistake" actually ended up saving us as we waited for the pat to go away and retrieved the mask for my boy. An experience my friend and i still talk about a week later lol. (i love this game)


    So yeah.. sorry for the huge wall of text and bad formatting.. ive had such a good time playing here i wanted to share! got any interesting pointers? please share some of your stories or quests! thanks!

    I log in, wait for my number to be called in a healing rotation, then I log off. The complex life of a cleric.

    Returning to TAKP for my third time, after some real life obstacles have moved on. I've created an assortment of characters based on what I felt like playing each time I've come back, and now I'm trying to figure out which ones to move forward with or start new. I'm not very good at three-boxing, but I'm good enough at two. So I'm deciding what those two will be, and maybe just have a third that can buff or port.

    I love dungeoning, so often I'm exploring the low-mid level dungeons like SolA, LGuk, Kaesora... If I am mostly afk, I'll play somewhere safe like High Hold Keep, Dreadlands, Overthere, Lake of Ill Omen, etc. I get a weird kick out of exploring old nostalgic zones, even if they have terrible experience or aren't the ideal path.

    Thanks for sharing the extended range quest item, I had never seen that one! I typically do all newbie quests and most of the mid-level armor quests just for fun. I don't spend a lot of time in the bazaar for things I can quest myself.

    I occasionally log in. My play consists of rolling my face across the keyboard and describing whatever outcome a success.

    Playing not much lately ...
    1) Camping the elemental island in twilight sea for the caster sleeves with my mid 40s Ran/Cle duo mostly.
    2)Working my Cleric's tradeskills up for shawl sometime in the future.
    3) Killing giants around the Kael Arena for armour drops,rarely anymore.(There is something especially satisfying killing giants,not sure why).
    Oh 60s with almost no AAs Pal/Enc/Dru box,grouped with a friend who boxes mid 50s War/Cle/Dru.
    3)Searching the web for an attractive *Luclin* zone for my 60s,but in vain. :)
    4)Mostly playing other games (in no special order),PoE (not much also lately,too fast paced for my taste and difficult to get into,too much info to suck up),
    Oblivion,D2,Stardew Valley.
    5)Missing the golden years of EQ (until and including LDoN,ya know before item shops and pocket clerics),also still missing Shards of Dalaya which was even
    better than original EQ until they broke it with a new client some years ago.

    I seem to fixate on melee... I have a monk, rogue, warrior, ranger and bard all from 20-45ish. I also have a wizard and cleric in that range.

    I think I could three box if two of them are wizard and cleric. But I also like shaman and beastlords and haven't made either yet. It's a lot of options, but my inability to three box without frustration leads me to think about just two boxing with maybe a wizard to have just incase lol.

    You use hotkey net to switch windows right? Or whatever you Mac people use, Total Spaces or something, I dunno. Yup, boxing can be energy intensive, it takes awhile to figure everything out. UI/hotkeys etc, all make a big difference in boxing efficiency.

    I was working on getting the box for my VT key last night when I forgot I still had my OT hammer equipped. So uh, I'll be working on that again today.
