Introduction (Links Updated 2-09-2017):

Hi all, I recently returned to EQ Live after a 14 year hiatus. I've played some P99 and SoD in-between but discovered this bot a week ago and fell in love (I used the original WowGlider bot and later Honorbuddy when I played WoW). I'm still learning a lot, but I went through the forums and have linked every single post/thread that I found helpful and hopefully is still relevant (I added comments where necessary) as I went back a few years in the forums but I tried to not add any topics that I did not think were still current. Please still use the search function as it is very helpful. I also did not include certain links/threads that were stickied or well-known, such as the Macropedia or MQ2/KissAssist Manuals.

Hover over the links for the full name - most threads you can guess what the discussion about by the name and I also grouped them by topic. Please let me know if you have any comments/suggestions/links to add. Thank you to everyone for posting these and having such a helpful community. I'll try to keep this updated and work on formatting - eventually I'll try to give each of the URL's a name intead of just the raw link. Lastly, I take no credit for any of these posts or links as I merely just aggregated them over a few days.

Great stuff! Wiki'fied your post, hope that's alright.

Re: Collection of Helpful Posts and Links (updated 11-16-2016)

Excellent post! Also want to add this one:

http://forums.eqfreelance.net/index.php?PHPSESSID=7a9fed7338b5ebcb144e2314a7261bcd&board=12.0

One of the ONLY places online I know to get all raid strategies. Sadly, allakhazam hasn't posted any raid strats since TDS (or maybe they stopped at TBM, all I know is they stopped) =(

That page describes a very robust raiding group that accepts newbies (assuming you meet the requirements, which are relatively strict for an open raiding scheme).

Indeed, it's the only opensource place that has every single raid strategy for the last 5 or so X-pacs.

Unless you're a raid leader or you box raids that page would probably be pretty useless to you. For someone who does lead raids or boxes them, I consider that page invaluable
 
Re: Collection of Helpful Posts and Links (updated 11-16-2016)

Updated with your suggestions. Thanks, guys
 
Re: Collection of Helpful Posts and Links (updated 11-16-2016)

I stickied this, great work Bamilus

EPIC POST
 
Re: Collection of Helpful Posts and Links (updated 11-16-2016)

Updated with about 15-20 new links.

Also, is there a way to update the title? I update it in edit function but it still says: "Collection of Helpful Posts and Links (updated 11-16-2016)" from the Strategies forum view.

MQ2Nav has replaced MQ2Navigation so you can delete any MQ2Navigation links

Yes. You should be able to update the title by using Advance editor click the GO Advance button
 
Re: Collection of Helpful Posts and Links (updated 11-16-2016)

I'll do that tonight.

Regarding the title, I did change it in advanced and you can see at the top of this post it is updated. I think why it won't update on the Strategies forum view is because it was Wiki'd? Just a thought, don't know for sure.
 
Re: Collection of Helpful Posts and Links (updated 11-16-2016)

Updated with about 20 to 25 new links - mostly in gear/utilities/macros/boxing sections.
 
Re: Collection of Helpful Posts and Links (updated 11-16-2016)

Happy new year everybody - updated the post with 5 or so links, mainly in the F2P and Gear sections.
 
Re: Collection of Helpful Posts and Links (updated 11-16-2016)

February update - added about 12 links, mostly in macro/farming/gear section. Enjoy!

I may go through and change all these URLs to actual links with the thread titles. As it stands, its really hard to figure out what each link is going to take you to, even with very general overall categories. This is a super good idea, though!

That'd be great. Yea, I'm relying on people hovering over the link to see the thread title which makes it hard to tell on mobile (on my phone you have to hold down link for full url to pop up with thread title)
 
Re: Collection of Helpful Posts and Links (updated 11-16-2016)

YUGE update - with the power of Microsoft Excel I have transformed all those ugly links into the actual thread titles. Enjoy!
