Pok Spell Vendor Initiative
All Abysmal Sea spell and tome vendors copied to PoK for one stop spell shopping.

UPDATE:

Kurlond Axebringer (berzerker tomes) and the other melee tome venders in POK have increased their inventories to include tomes formally only available through quests or looting. Due to the difficulty in obtaining some of these items, some prices may have been increased.

The spell caster and hybird venders will be seeing simular increases in their inventories soon. They will most likely divide the spells based on level to make your shopping experience more pleasant.

Once the new inventories are finalized our visitors from Abysmal Sea will return to their normal occupations.


Abysmal Sea visitors are:

Bard - Ylian Darsdi
Beastlord - Adnia Pashdi
Cleric - Sosina Mardar
Common spells - Godain MacKodor
Druid - Burumy Fahon
Enchanter - Phoenth Ingven
Magician - Ardtia Aughsan
Necromancer - Yiem Rynawu
Paladin - Slewar Belsgog
Ranger - Dadein Shadowbow
Shadowknight - Daris Rodril
Shaman - Hatem
Transportation spells - Verna Leinar
Wizard - Gruppip Fooedli

Have y'all noticed mobs stuck under world? I died so many times while macro'ing from mobs underground that can't be hit, but can hit you. I decided to take a short break on it. Looks like things are progressing very well. Great job, guys.

 

[Maskoi]

Haven't noticed mobs under the world. what zone? Also the emu is a learning curve as this stuff pops up we tweak the server when we can find or figure out the solutions.

 

[darkeros]

The worst examples are in Marus Seru all random mobs and Overthere, the low level tigresses

 

[darkeros]

Oh one more thing... the ldon folks don't respond, or at least they haven't to me, so piggyzone breaks when it tries to use a magus. Just an FYI, not a big deal since the teleporter is in PoK.

Did you do the quest for the Advenruere's Stone? You will need the stone on your keyring ( /key) to use the Ldon Magus teleporters.

 

[darkeros]

The questgivers for the stone wouldn't talk to me, unless that's working now? It could have just been bugged at the time. I know earlier Healyn and I couldn't get the recruit gear bot to respond, although it was working last night. Work in progress definitely, but I sure am having fun!

Home city might be the problem. Try the non-froglik quest giver in Rathe Mountain. I know he works, at least he worked two days ago.

Did you copy the missing and addition files and place them in your UF folder? The quests did work for me until I had all the correct files.

 

[darkeros]

I did Maskoi. I'll try the guys in Rathe. I get the yellow text whenever I zone anywhere, but when I zone into Rathe or Cabilis on my iksar, I don't get the text that says who to talk to. I'll try just going directly to Nemeen in Rathe.

[darkeros]

So I tried these guys so far for LDoN:

East Cabilis guy works
Shar Vahl guy doesn't
Rathe guy works

Now, to get the stone:
Vual Stoutest in Butcherblock doesn't respond
Teria Grinntli in Everfrost doesn't respond
Selephra Giztral in South Ro doesn't respond
Ruanya Windleaf in North Ro doesn't respond
Orwin Flintmaker in Erudin just tells me he's busy.


Couldn't zone into commonlands to try talking to Chaenz Abella and/or Barstre Songweaver. Said I wasn't experienced enough to pass through an inter-planar portal. Tried using the teleporter and actually walking through the tunnel from North Ro.

End result is no stone. =(

Oh, mobs in Toxxulia are all human models. =p

 

[hoosierbilly]

Be sure to stand very close to teh npc when hailing... almost right on there toes. Its a quirk of Emulator that you must be very close for the npc to respond to you. I used the guy in butchblock... not sure if i hail for a response. I think I just got real close and < /say farstone magic > to get my stone.

 

[Raidenjb]

I as well was able to get Vual in Butcherblock to work, I just had to get pretty close to him as stated.

The only issue I have run into is that for some reason I could not get the /sumcorpse in MQ2Pax to work last night. Tried it on multiple corpses in permafrost and all I got was that they were too far away like a normal corpse drag. I am using the up to date compile posted in the what you need to play post.

 

[Marbury]

Said I wasn't experienced enough to pass through an inter-planar portal.

I've had this problem as well, I accidentally started a character in Crescents Reach, and I couldn't zone out to get to the PoK book. I figured it was because of the last few expansions being incomplete.

All of these problems relate to not having copied the missing zone files to the Steam UF EQ Folder. I combined all the missing zone files into 1 zip file to make it a lot easier. Download and unzip these file to your root eq steam uf folder.

/sumcorpse is working correctly but there is built in code to prevent this MQ2 function in EQEmu. I haven't had a chance to look at it too closely yet to disable it but I will soon.

Also there is free corpse summing and rez in guild lobby

I will check the Crescent Reach status level. Each zone has a separate flag. I will change it so you can zone to and from Crescent also you probably tried to zone in the Moors that zone i soff limits for the moment. The PoK book is just before the moors zone in Crescent its easy to miss.

I have to fix some of the newbie mobs there though they are too aggressive and you will get swarmed by like 8 bears and pumas oh my!

 

[Marbury]

Yeah, I missed it. Then my problem is solved.

I double-checked and I have all the files. I confirmed that they're all the same files as in the zip. Just to be 110% sure, I extracted and overwrote all the files again just now.

Logged in, went to Vual Stoutest in Butcherblock. No response. I did /warp target so it would put me directly on him. No response. No responses to hails or saying farstone magic. Again, this isn't a big deal since we have the teleporter, just helping you guys test.

 

[darkeros]

Woot, it worked. I don't know if anyone did anything or not, but I left my char sitting on Vual. I came back to my computer just now and Hailed Vual. He responded and I now have my stone. =)

Edit to add: Weirdness. Brought my second character there. Nothing. I'll let him sit there a while and check back in a bit to see if it'll work like the other one.

2nd edit: Worked. Waited almost 20 minutes, checked back, and hailing worked.

This is a known problem. Not sure if it will be fixed, thats way over my skills.

However, there is free corpse summon and rez in the guild lobby.

I have seen significant delay especially after using /warp for the server to update your loctaion, several seconds that feel like hours, lol. It also cuases mobs to appear to pause and jump at you when pulling. I suspect this is a condition that we will have to get adjusted too.


Glad to hear you did manage to get your quest completed.

Agreed. Seen the same stuff.

The problem is that the client isn't updating server side, the best way to do that is by causing a check with the server. Try casting a spell and ducking. I remember on the live servers, sometimes it wouldn't always show my character location that "swam across" OOT, so I had to do something with them to make it update so I didn't warp to an older location.

Pok Spell Vendor Initiative
All Abysmal Sea spell and tome vendors copied to PoK for one stop spell shopping.

UPDATE: 23 Jan 2011

All spells through level 50 have been added to the regular spell venders in PoK. The spell were added by level and the title of each vender was updated.

The remain spells through level 65 will be added to new venders in the coming week.

I'd like to thank the venders from Abysmal Sea and wish them well. They will be going back to normal activities.

 

[Marbury]

Loving it, thanks hoosierbilly.

Was exp in OT changed, by chance? I'm assuming it wasn't, but is there any way to check it? Last night I got from 27-30 in like 30 minutes. Today it's taking me about 30-45 minutes to get 50% into 30 killing whites/yellows/reds very fast and constantly.

Edit: NM, I think it's right. I think it was just going insanely fast a few levels lower.

I am noticing teh same thing in dulak harbor. I was killing at level 39 and getting 16% XP. After I leveled to 40, killing the same mobs got me 5-6%.

There appears to be a hugh increase in XP while you are below level 40.

 

[darkeros]

Found a few hornet mobs underground in BW.

Moved over to dreadlands for a bit to macro. Is the XP set right there? I have no idea what it should be, but I'm getting like 0.6% for whites, 0.9% for yellows, 1-1.5% for reds. That may be right, I don't know.

 

[hoosierbilly]

Any chance of getting MQ2InstantMem added to the Red Planet compile?

 

[Maskoi]

Yes I have to fix it though

 

[Raidenjb]

Noticed today when trying to get a port to Trakanon's Teeth that I got ported to Ak'anon instead. Since the keywords are near the same I figured it may have something to do with that. Trakanon and Akanon. Just a heads up.
