• Hail, we're RedGuides. We want you to play six (yes, 6!) EverQuest characters at once. We have scripts and a friendly community to help, please join our playstyle and say hello! 👋
  • We've added LLM sections to our Terms & Rules and Resource Rules, for everyone's sanity & in-game safety.
    Read more
    a. Do not replace your voice with an LLM. This goes for your posts and your scripts. Drafting and editing with a tool is fine, but don't take you out of what you share.
    b. Do not replace your EQ character's voice with an LLM. We don't want scripts that speak over /ooc, /shout or other public channels. This has been an unwritten rule that's kept casino scripts off the site for decades, but we're now compelled to make it clear: keep automated communication private.

    Why Does RG Review Scripts?
    Nearly every LLM-written Lua script we see is making your character do impossible things, and rarely in a way that's beneficial to you. We've seen heavy server hammering, /target over impossible distances when /nav spawn would passively accomplish the same thing, a spawn search that fires 20+ times per second, and other pointless actions that are likely annoying GMs.

    You are welcome to use LLMs as a tool to structure, draft, and edit your work, but please read critically before hitting /lua run

I have taken some time off during the suspensions and banning. Now that I am back, I am lost here. Site has changed drastically. I just started a new EQ account and only plan on Soloing a monk at this time. I don't want to chance my main account. I do have several accounts to box at a later date. I just started this monk, went through tutorial with Lua tutorial. Awesome program that works great. Had to override it a bit to complete but for the most part, it did what it intended to do. I just got to crescent reach and was looking for something to assist me in leveling up. I can't get FD till 17 but looking to max out all skills while leveling. I checked out the kissassist ini but while using filter, it didn't show anything. Is there something new that I am missing? I will have more time to search through the forums later today but just wanted to check in here and say I am glad to be back.

I am F2P by the way

Welcome back!

The free 2 play life is quite enjoyable when using automations. I've been doing it for a few years (stopped feeling challenged on live with krono).
Here's a couple things I learned:
- there's no reason to wait to add more characters. For the early game, yeah, you can solo/molo, but when you get to the difficult content, you're going to be glad you brought the group up with you, rather than having to repeat the content. costs ya nothing but compute, and with framelimiter, that's pretty cheap lol
- prepare for a *GRIND*. Using automations the grind isn't as bad, but sometimes the gap in difficulty between expansions is pretty massive, especially if you don't have powerleveling toons. Grinding a camp from dark blue to deep green is something I'm quite familiar with... You get lots of mats tho
- speaking of mats... barter for plat. Usually f2p gear is cheap, but without being able to access baz yourself to sell, you're either going to hella stockpile, or make use of the mats yourself. Don't let them rot unless it's some kinda obscure item used in 1 recipe worth 1cp or something (in which case grab a stack before letting it rot, you never know when someone will be paying 10k+ pp per mat so they can finish their AP). I have geared multiple toons in BIS F2P simply using the barter method. You can even plan your leveling routes around what people are buying.
- be wary of everyone, be nice to everyone. Chances are that they won't be at a camp nearly as long as you.
- if you accidentally kill steal something from someone (happens when the mobs turn lb and you don't notice some lowbie came up to your camp) apologize and pay them an amount of plat that would be deemed ridiculous (you'll barter that plat back anyways and you'll make a nooby's day)
- document your process, what works and what doesn't, what manual steps you had to take, then automate those out for when you inevitably do it again.
- you said you had to patch some things in the tutorial Lua, which is great energy. If you like optimizing stuff as much as me, You're going to have to patch and/or make a lot of custom stuff yourself. Whether it's turning in a quest or creating a custom pull routine you'll find yourself making custom things a lot. That's where the fun really is, tbh.
Good luck
