Warning, this post is gonna bounce, as I am indecisive, but for now I just started trying to box to get my current main (103 bst) to 120 and trying to do all the HoT and higher progression. My Beastlord is on a paid sub, but the two accounts I am using are Silver (shaman) and Bard (full FTP). Now, I know its gonna be a pain with the very limited AAs, but my plan is when I get the FTP accounts to 110 I am gonna hit them with a krono each, and then try to grind few thousand more AAs (preferably on a double exp period so I maximize my effort.) So, I know I'm in for fun with the bst pet tanking and no actual tank in the group. Here is where I bounce around.
I am trying to decide if I want to main a bst, rogue or SK. (love them all). So I chose a shaman and bard because I "think" of those trio boxes would work well. So if I change my mind with the weather, I can easily incorporate the SK or Rogue into the box group, and not be a total reroll.
Onto my questions:
1) When boxing, how does the solo task progression work? Like is it just painful and you have to manually manage it the slow way, or is there a plugin that helps manage that?
- I do understand you can use the command to make everyone target and /say the dialogue. I am more curious about the ones that require actual actions, like looting, accepting the loot in the adv loot tool, combining recipes, and then turning it in, etc.
2) How do you manage Bard Song Aggro?
- Okay, admittingly there are a lot of famous singers that everyone wants to punch in the face *cough* Justin Bieber *cough*. But why does EVERYTHING aggro a bard, and how do you manage maximizing the bard usefulness without Bard-hate?
3) Does the level 2 access provide the ability to use Very Vanilla, or is that an additional cost on top of level 2?
- I wanna ensure that I know the full cost before I factor in the wife aggro.
4) Will using a custom UI interfere with the way the Very Vanilla, KissAssist, etc works?
- I find the base EQ UI to be very consuming of my viewing space, especially as I get into needing more hotbars for AAs and combat skills.
Okay I had like three more questions, but my headache made them fade away. if I remember them I will ask in a reply.
If I missed something in a guide I'm sorry, please direct me there and I will read said information.
Thank you in advance for any advice or assistance
