    News - RedGuides is working to become an emu-first community, and we want you to play emu, too

    First and foremost, congratulations to brainiac, Knightly and Dannuic on what should only be a positive change for them. Many thanks for their efforts, and the efforts of everyone involved with RG and VV over the years. I was surprised that EQ was still active when I looked it up years ago...

    IRL - Hail returning user advice

    1. Don't think so. But some spells have different resists or resist modifiers. For snares, I usually use the lowest level one with the duration I want (no sense of a 26 minute snare if not kiting). You will eventually get an AA replacement for the spells. 2. Generally lvl 50+ and damaged. But...

    Question - TLO to identify loot item is a collectible?

    OK. Found the issue. I did something wrong when stripping out the original stuff. This version should work better. I spot-checked a number of collectibles from each of the older expacs, but I could still have a typo in one of the tables or something else missed. Let me know if you find some that...

    Question - TLO to identify loot item is a collectible?

    I'll check when I get a chance tomorrow. It should work all the way back to RoF, but I did not do much testing after stripping out some of the original code. There is some special handling for older expacs that I probably screwed up when I made the changes. In the main project, it properly picks...

    Question - TLO to identify loot item is a collectible?

    OK. Here is a version that has some of the superfluous stuff stripped out. The function 'isCollectible()' will return true if the name provided (which you can get from the advloot window I believe) is a collectible. The database is generated automatically the first time the function is invoked...

    Question - TLO to identify loot item is a collectible?

    Good timing. Just so happens I am working on a tool to help me with finding and managing collectibles. They always get scattered around among my toons wasting space and whatnot. No where near a finished product, but I extracted a bit of code that will build a table with all the collectibles in...

    Tip - Waxwork Abolishion Strategy (All Achievements)

    Doing all 5, or 3 then 2, or 1 at a time doesn't really change much, other than the delays when separating and reforming. Each split represents a portion of the Abolishion's HP (approx 10%), so the more splits you kill the less HP you will need to do to the Abolishion. If you kill the minimum...

    Question - AA hotkeys

    I am not sure I am understanding on what you mean by 'all your AA hotkeys installed', and whether or not they are being used. If you are using automation (RGMercs, CWTN) then in general use of AA, skills and spells is handled by the automation. A hotkey is not required. As to whether the...

    IRL - ok, the holiday flair on the site.....

    Not for me. Had the snowblower out last night. But, this is the one time of year I am very happy to have it snow. Let it snow, let it snow, let it snow.

    Tech - Update earlier this month, caused Laptop from Loading 2/3 groups just fine to only being able to load 1.

    You might be able to start narrowing it down by bringing up task manager (ideally on a second screen) and watch the CPU and disk load by process when zoning. Or check the performance tab to see where the bottleneck actually is. I have had issues with system interrupts spiking at 100% before...

    IRL - Giftis Waylayus

    Have not tested this, but if the issue is about the hand-ins in Halas, would dropping a Barbarian campfire in the area help?

    Release Brell's Fishing Rod Fishing Macro

    This is a macro, so it would go in the 'macros' folder wherever your MQ install is located. On my PC that would be D:\MQNext\macros, but your location will be different. To find out where your installation is, you can click on the Settings button on the left side of the RG Launcher and you will...
