GROUP MAKE-UP:
Toons 95mag 95MNK 94BRD
Mercs tank/healer/caster


Hey all, I recently joined the community and have been playing around with very simple MQ2 commands and KissAssist. Mainly I have been afk lvling my toon in The Grounds to get him from 85 (heroic chat) to 95. He is now 94 and I estimate being 95 by tomorrow.



Now I am basically twinked in all 2k hp gear bought from baxaar. 5Kish AA on all toons, but not really AUGed out yet. No raid gear.

Lastly, I am currently a returnee and have 18/20 expansions and when Dark Sea comes out with the cap increase I'll be current and able to level past 95.

I see a lot of spots people have discussed but their toons are 100. So I assume other newcomers have this Q as well.


QUESTION: Where can I go and safely afk KissAssist to 100.

Grounds exp is getting slow and also the ABUNDANCE of caster mobs is really screwing with monk when he pulls. Sometimes he will just stop and die away from camp OR my merc will run away from camp because caster mobs are stopping and casting outside camp.


As always thanks for any input! <3


---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Okay so after being safe for about 7 hours or so of leveling with no issues. I've decided spot 3 in Grelleth's is the best place to afk. My Group is MAG/MNK/BRD/SHM varying between level 95-99, during my testing. I am using a healer merc and tank merc. Tank merc is set to MT and MNK is set to puller and MA.

My .ini are as follows (this is by no means perfect and still needs tweaking, but it works well enough to AFK and leave!)

Try Beasts domain or Sarith, not sure yet how the xp will be to from 95 to 100 as my toons maxed at 95 till next expac comes out. Also not sure merc tank will be tough enough in VOA and up zones.

once you have access to RoF, the tasks are bext xp but again doubt a merc tank would cope.

id get rid of the bard and roll an Warrior or make a new account with an sk or warrior tank (heroic would be best for augs if your staying F2P)
 
Probably will not stay F2P, as I took advantage of gamestops card deal $10 instead of $15. Beasts domain isn't impossible, but risk vs reward might be high for AFKing. I went there and AFKd twice also and came back to my monk dead or group wiped. So not sure what was up with it, but pathing might be a lil weird for my puller
 
One of the places I leveled my toons was in City of Bronze. I can't remember if I ever posted a guide here or not, but you can set up in the fields and pull all day. The named might be a little much for your crew, but it's safer since people rarely go there. I'm not sure if you can run the macros for the HAs in Dead Hills at that level; not many have tried it, but you can do it it with the tank merc and a bard pulling. That levels you fast. What server are you on?

I agree that you may want to roll a tank because it works best with KA and fully afk leveling. Tank mercs are unpredictable. However, I'd keep the bard and replace the monk. Bard will have AC songs, haste, mez, slow etc. You'll really want mez if your tank can't handle multiples. Warriors are best tanks, plus they have less spells than SK so you don't have to chase after the RK II as much.

When your tank can handle it, head to Grelleth and stay there until 100. I know there are guides for Grelleth here. You can sell the gear (it's all prestige) and use the plat to buy FTP stuff. Look for chronomage stuff for your mage... not sure what it is for the war or bard. So I'd probably run a group with a war/mage/bard using healer/wiz/wiz or two healers and 1 wiz - on one reactive and one on efficient. Don't forget to set up your fellowship and click back to camp if you die.
 
I lake morel's castle myself... I did a nice writeup on it too...
 
woudl agree with EQgeek actualy . keep the bard lose the monk, gives pulling and CC, will also prob goto Grelleths once new expac live.
 
Damn, great quick responses as usual. I actually tried a heroic war in place of the bard. It might take a while getting a War augs and AA. A merc war with new expansion AA and gear thing wouldn't work? Maybe I'll try and pick up a warrior someone doesn't play and xfer to my monk account of possible. I'm on Drinal.

You can have a War up to 85 in just a few days. There are several macs here to help with that. (Search Bone Chip and Lichen Creep). I think there are several heroic toons for sale in the $15-20 range, but it would take you just the same amount of time to get it transferred I think. Also it's probably the same amount as just buying the heroic from SOE when you think $15 for the toon and $20 to move it vs buying 2 walmart station cash cards.
 
Eqgeek, i meant buying like a 100ish war that someone doesn't play anymore. xD

- - - Updated - - -

Just an update for those who view this thread. I am currently doing the Grelleth's spot. It is working out well so far (about 1-2 hours in). I will AFK truly for a solid 7 hours or so to put it to the test. If anyone is running my comp and this works, i am more than happy to share files.
 
EQgeek you got a spot in City of bronze? never done much there but seems pretty quiet area so thinking of giving it a try
 
Just an update. Came back to my group dead and a few more people in the zone. So gonna pass on this place for now. Followed the spot to the T, but must have pulled an ADD at some point.

Where did you camp? I think there are several safe spots, and it's possible that a named killed your group. I have about 5 spots I use in Grelleth. One of them is name-free.

Yep, I like to camp in the SW corner of the zone. There is a named rat, but other than that it's just pulling from the fields. This is around about the area:

2014-10-30 08_49_37-city of bronze map - Google Search.jpg

Here is the stuff on my KA info:

Rich (BB code):
[cityofbronze]
MobsToPull=List up to 25 mobs. Can be partial names Example: rat,snake,bear or ALL for all mobs
MobsToIgnore=a domesticated selyrah,an honest citizen,Faltar,Wilstoi Farniad,a guard,a sentry stone,
MobsToBurn=a rabid selyrah,bloodclaw, a raging braxi,deathsqueak,guggles,
MezImmune=List up to 10 mobs. Use full names i.e. a green snake,a blue tiger,a wide eye ooze or NULL

- - - Updated - - -

Also here is my map for Grelleth:

2014-10-30 08_59_51-EverQuest.jpg

1 is my "usual" spot. Two named can spawn here depending on your Z range. There is a little more pulling around corners, over hills, etc, so load up mq2nav

2 is a safe spot with no named unless you have a major pull range. If you have a big pull range, you'll probably fall off the ledge anyway.

3 is a wide open area with 2 named (I thought there were 3, but EQR says only 2)

4 nice open pulls. No need to hug the wall too much, but helps to have some CC because the mobs tend to be near each other

5 my least used spot. chance of a named, but the PH is a little close to the ledge. you won't want to have such a big radius that you fall off the ledge (like spot 2) so it could be safe and name-less.

Redcented you for that EQgeek. Real good map and I bet a lot of people can use it.

FYI to newcomers - I'm in basicAlly ROF bazaar buyable gear and now 97. The mercs can handle this place much better now, so at 98+ should be cake. &#62338; I recently attained a 95 sham and threw her in group.

AFKing a few hours and will update you guys when back.

Best place up to now has been The Grounds but traffic is high, even with the new BS xp nerfs

So I am mainly using camp site 1. For some reason I can't get the zone name right in KissAssist_info.. i guess... cuz i keep pulling The Forgotten Murderer. Found out he is the one wiping my group. Still doing some trial and error
This is what i have, dunno how zone name should be...
Rich (BB code):
[Grelleth's Palace, the Chateau of Filth]
MobsToPull=List up to 25 mobs. Can be partial names Example: rat,snake,bear or ALL for all mobs
MobsToIgnore=The Forgotten Murderer,a pollution monster,Grelleth's War Machine,
MobsToBurn=List up to 10 mobs. Use full names i.e. Beget Cube,Helias,Raze or NULL

Another Update.. I had my zone named wrong. Did not see that EQgeek had the correct spelling above. changed it and added some ignores. Working great now! Gonna give it he "few hours afk test" again and see how group does.

ive afk'd at camp 2 for hours before without much problem on 2x 100 and 1 x 89 bard, would sometimes come back to grp dead due to adds but thats it.
 
My 100 ranger can tank in grelleth and I'll sometimes use her as pullertank with a mage/bard/druid with clr and wiz mercs. The ranger can handle the Murderer only sometimes. If Mq2melee doesn't fire my evasion and weapon shield, AND we happen to get the Murderer who likes to life tap, then she'll go down and the mage pet will handle it. For some reason a level 100 SK in T1 Cotf (min AA) can't always handle this zone. But my 97 War was able to handle it well with a druid and clr merc.

Also, if you're camping in spot 1 you will sometimes pull the Murderer even if he's on ignore because you'll pull beside him now and again. You can probably go for days at spot 2 and as scotsbiker said, you may only die if you get adds. I'm such a nice person that when I see AFK groups dead, I'll go rez them. :)

If you look at spot 3 on the map I put above, you'll see an afk group was there. And I said I thought there were 3 named there, and I remember you'll also end up pulling Grelleth's War Machine if your settings are just right. Make sure ALL TOONS have camphere ON if you are pulling the war machine. He flings the players away from him and casters won't run back to camp otherwise.

Glad this can be of help to you!! I'm going to some other ROF zones to see what other spots can be fully afk.
 
I just got lucky earlier and killed the murder, took everything i had. Wsa poppin discs left and right and AAs on all toons. Funny thing is he spawned just north in that little nook RIGHT after. So now I don't have to worry about him adding on pulls at all. I just left him there and finally got the .ini file correct so i won't pull him. Pulled a lil over 100 mobs now with no issues. Gonna leave it for rest of the day and see how it works out. I'll post my .ini files later if it all works out.
 
Slower does help a lot. I'm using bards 97[or 96] mez spell as well in ini. So even getting doubles is doable now

I get back in 3 hours so will have an update then

Ended up wiping again and lost corpses so gonna try another spot other than spot 1

Another update, I am now at EQGeek's #1 spot again and I think I know why my group wiped while i was AFK. About 1.5 hours in to EXP'n I just noticed no one in my group attacking a mob and healer heal tanking. When I looked where my Merc TANK was he was like 1000 units away for some reason. Dunno if he glitched out or what.. but my group seems to be fine 1-2 mobs here. So I must have died from this. Anyone know how to fix / know about this?

Confirmed, just watched it happen, my tank merc ran off somewhere or did he get caught in these "Drops" marked on map? Anyways, that is what is wiping group during pulls.
 
Are you using MQ2Navigation? Also, merc tanks are pretty terrible when you afk. No matter what, they end up running off or engaging too far away. You could turn off auto assist, but you'll need to change your settings in the INI for the tank merc. Just need to do 1% of damage for him to engage.

Rich (BB code):
[Merc]
Help=To use: Turn off Auto Assist in Manage Mercenary Window
MercOn=1
MercAssistAt=99

Have your mage assist the puller at 100% and make the melee distance pretty high.
 
what tierl merc are you using? lower Teir will run off often as they are scared lol. idealy you should be using a T5 merc?

Ahhh I see. So having at 100 basically merc run out too soon. This is good to know. I'll put at 99. Mage's melee is already about 125 Or so.. I pull mobs directly to group. So I should have mage KA my puller, use KA puller tank on monk? Then hopefully merc should run in at 99 and get aggro.

Merc is J5 Scot. Would be kinda embarassing to be lvl100 and have apprentice or j1 lol!
 
Damn, didn't know that lol. That sucks

I'm curious. Is there a way that when, if I am AFK, my monk pulls 2 mobs instead of 1 (let's say because pathing), that I can treat it like a named and put group burn into affect? Every now and then pulling an add will wipe me, but if my toons would pop their discs/burn i'd be alright
