I honestly doubt we see new AA until GoD at the earliest and probably more likely not until Omens.

Omens is a pretty big expac in terms of epics, it added a lot of AA, content, etc. So, it makes sense that if they're going to add anymore AA they'd do it around then.

Any of you guys available to smash the Kunark bosses with me to flag me for Velious? Message Ezaaj if you're keen.

I'm working on a buffbot/trader I think I'll be able to do naggy and vox. Maybe even unlock velious but there's no way I'm putting in enough time to do the rest solo.

Hit 60 / 1800ish AA's on my Dru/Rog/Monk and have been doing well with most of the content as I've progressed. Druid has a buried burst heal+HoT AA in Convergence of Spirits, the AA Wrath of the Wild has an unmentioned 25% incoming damage mitigation proc component to it, and Nature's Recovery is treated as a HoT, so the class's ability to sustain spikes pretty hard once you hit 60, invest into the AA's, and get Heal Amount up.

Even going into the encounters blind, so far I've only wiped to Vox (at L30/150), Doze (at L56/500), Kerafyrm (L56/1000), and Bristlebane (L60/1500). Still need to beat Bristle, and then I'll try the easiest Seru this weekend, but everything else is down. I definitely envy the petcuck combos for their ability to AFK clear the bosses in VT quickly though because it took 20-30 minutes/boss just using autoattack for me. That zone in general is such a huge regression from ToV in terms of mechanic variance and fight intesity, I got so bored last night I actually dozed off in my chair fighting the 3rd or 4th boss and still won.

One thing that Burns mentioned yesterday that I really want to reiterate is that the Bazaar Portal AA sends you back to the last zone you came from before entering the Bazaar (found this out trying to lazily jump to another Bazaar shard). It's cheesy, but if you're wiping you can FD/drop aggro, then immediately Bazaar out -> Heal -> Bazaar back in to the spot you zoned out from after the 2 minute cooldown. I'd been using it a ton just to quickly dump sellables while farming AA, and its really cut down on the need to use the waypoint porter in general.

I wonder how POP will work out. Luclin wasn't working that well for the concept "you can solo everything with AA and gear" for a lot of class combos. And we already have almost all AA till ROF. So will 5 levels and a better gear allow to do Coirnav, The Rathe etc.? Emp and VT weren't that enjoyable (fck VT trash, really) but I understand they have to somehow follow the progress patterns of the EQ expansions.

Also a bit worried about whale inflation. Sleeper augs went from 30-50K legendary to 200K now. That is a lot of seb runs...

But yes, this is the most enjoyable way to play EQ in 2025. I donated quite a sum because bags you know. No, seriously they really hit the spot in playability and fun. I know some ultras do not like the fact that you can achieve a lot things in mere weeks on a casual play schedule but I love it.

‘they have always stated progression is solo raid is meant for 2-3. This has not been true yet but maybe it is in PoP? maybe progression is the first few planes and the rest are optional endgame?

I was wondering how you’d do time with the start being the 6 different little group areas? But I guess with non-respawn you could just keep zoning out and back in?

I'm fine with a couple bosses being made for groups, or better yet, the hard mode that they did with Seru, for a bunch of bosses, but if they made whole raids require 2 or 3 people then I'm probably done with this server as soon as I hit one of those.

I agree. This is the whole draw of this server to begin with for me. I like doing shit on my terms and my time frame, take longer breaks, play at odd hours...etc...

How limited are they by their client in terms of expansions? I don't care if they stop at PoP honestly but I wouldn't mind going through some expansions that I missed while playing EQ2 an WoW. I also hate they are stuck in 32 bit but they seem to be managing it fine with what they're doing. Still enjoying this immensely. We haven't tried seru+4 but just seru was pretty easy. Hopefully we'll have our group back together next week to try it.

They said Dragons of Norrath will be the official cutoff during a live stream. DoN is the cutoff because that is as far as EMU clients go currently.

Anyone got some legendary gharn's or extra plat lying around? That's pretty much the only thing I need. Char name is Atlantean

I would have given you a free gharns the other day (base.)

it’s easy as hell to level things up, I just find the cheapest thing available and it only takes an hour or two of clearing DN to get it to legendary.

I haven’t really played in a few days since I’ve kinda done everything I wanted to.

I’d like to start a SK/ROG/WIZ maybe with MAG at first to level up fast

I made a CLR/BER/MNK but not really liking it. Hes only got 100AA so obv it ramps up but right now its a fucking slog to play on. My RNG/BRD/SK is really coming online, just got him brd epic yesterday, did 2 and sold the other. I mean, might as well, right? You gonna be camping shit might as well do 2 for the price of one. Anyway hes sitting at about 1000AA but needs more gear leveled. Discord says RNG/BRD/CLR so well see how the SK is doing, might switch to CLR from SK. One thing im noticing is all the RNG offensive and defensive burns are on a 15 min timer, that seems long as fuck, lol.

Just last night I rolled a MNK/ROG/SHM and got him up to like lv 40. Well see how that plays out, but I had a whole bunch of great VT/ssra gear daggers to give him. But so far hes pumping hard.

Right now is the perfect time to roll up noobs...50%exp bonus until 7 march and bonus if you score one of those exp ammies from the flower thing, it stacks.

Luclin flagged now, still 56 with 650aa. Took a look at Avatar of War and got my face smashed in. Idol was rough, but once slow landed it was easy street. Not sure how to go about tackling AoW without slow.

You just need to power through it with more AA and gear. The dude barely moves my HP bar now.
