I just wish to nod, and offer a virtual "tip the hat" to those stepping up to carry the baton of getting MQ updated for use with Live. This stuff requires a niche and deep technical level of skill, and you guys have my admiration for taking your C++ dev experience, your MQ experience, into...

Interesting to see they included..... - Converted the Claim Window to the new UI. I'm sure many of us, months ago, turned off the new UI because of things like bags and inventory page foreground vs background problems. There may be other reasons for having it off. Has anyone turned it back...

Thought I'd give a quick update having tried some change in a session. I added dots to the mix. Specifically, the pandemic! I'll give a nod to this Shadowraze737 shaman ini as it contains a couple of immediate wins that gave direction to safely implement the pandemic. DPS17=Tegi...

Thanks all for the replies so far. I've been out to buy some missing spells in the dot family Also lots of cross reading from Allakhazam and Raidloot for their spell searches. For these combo dot spells, I take it the mana cost is more than the single pandemic spell - and that it will cost...

Hi RedGuides I've been levelling a shaman for my team as an auxiliary healer and provide some dps come utility. As climb through the levels, things change as content becomes tougher etc. Therefore I thought I'd ask the community some advice on how to box the shaman in case I'm missing...

The groups I've run previously, this was the most common line-up: - SHD, CLR*, ENC, BST, NEC & 6th. *( Ashamed to admit - I often relied on healer merc, just never had confidence to roll with a 6 toon team. ) The 6th slot would often go with either ROG or MAG. There are times I'd try...

As Sic commented - this is available for accounts that are at Silver or F2P status, and not so for Gold. i.e. the option to buy isn't present for Gold [ paid or krono ] subbed accounts but is for those that have lapsed. The other piece is that this is for the character that applies it, not for...

@eqsomebody I hope you are making progress to get your puller-pet-tank to work! When I experimented with a necro, doing puller-pet-tank, I had an aggro section as follows: [Aggro] AggroOn=1 AggroSize=3 Aggro1=Death Peace|80|> Aggro2=/stand Aggro3=Death's Effigy|99|> I don't know if this is...

Hi Redguides Just to post this EQ forum link - 'Confirmed' - Cleric Merc (61) Stuck in Self Buff Loop Levelling some new toons recently I noticed some buff issue with the spells Aegolism and Ward of Gallantry. The healer merc would cast the first on my toon, then the second that overwrites...
