    Q & A

    Q. Why are my spells level 255?

    A. You have the wrong spell file. Download: http://edit.projecteq.net/spells_us.txt


    Q. Is there a Global chat channel?
    A. OOC, Auction, and the /1 /2 etc are all Global/Serverwide. Shout is zonewide. Once the probation period ends (a few hours or levels) use OOC for help/questions when getting started, but read through the material here first.

    Q. Is there a zone command?
    A. No. you must travel with traditional means.

    Q. Can I summon items?
    A. No.

    Q. What happens if I find a bug?
    A. These forums below are where you report bugs. Make sure the issue is not already described prior to posting.
    Database Bugs - This is where incorrect loot tables, merchants, spawns, and everything database related gets reported.
    Server Bugs - This is were non-database related issues go, things like ghosting, zone crashing, spells not working go.
    Quest Bugs - This is where quest related bugs go, an NPC not talking when it should or talking when it shouldn't. Handing back quest items and giving rewards, or not giving rewards and taking quest items.

    Q. When is the best time to get AA points?
    A. Level 70

    Q. What levels do the planes of power open for general access (w/o planar progression flags)?
    Tier 1 (Innovation, Nightmare, Disease, Justice) = level 46
    Tier 2 (Decay, Storms, Valor) = level 55
    Tier 3 (BoThunder, Halls of Honor) = level 62

    Q. How do I find zone exp mods, and other game info?
    A. Google?

    Q. Are there hotzones?
    A. Yes and they change three times a month. A hotzone is +75% bonus (base) experience. Franklin Teek in the Plane of Knowledge, near the Guild Lobby, will say this to you in game.

    Q. Whats the max level I can reach in tradeskills?
    A. 300. you need New Tanaan Crafting Master AA to achieve multiple 300+ skills.

    Q. Are there merchants that have advanced loot?
    A. Nope. The server is friendly and people will help new players.

    Q. What about corpses and EXP loss at death?
    A. You start leaving a corpse and losing EXP at level 10 and onwards.

    Q. Holy crap, my corpse is missing. What do I do?
    A. This server is Shadowrest enabled. The emissary is up on the hill on the central/east side of the Plane of Knowledge (south of the main bank). Talk with her and go to Shadowrest to retrieve your otherworldly possessions. When the server reboots (every morning) all corpses are moved to Shadowrest, abbreviated SR. You also have the Expedient Recovery Vet AA to summon all of your corpses (once every few days, use it sparingly).

    Q. Is there a Casino?
    A. Yes, it's in Shadow Haven

    Q. What is HoTT?
    A. That would be Health of Targets Target. PEQ supports it. The group leader AA will enable it on default UI, or you can download a custom target window xml (one is provided with E3 from link above).

    Q. Can I multi-quest?
    A. No, quests do not support it.

    Q. Does food/water auto-consume? Even if in bags?
    A. Yes, but there is no penalty for being hungry/thirsty here. MQ will shut up the hunger/thirst. Thus the reason to use food/drink is for bonus stats only.

    Q. Does the server support bots?
    A. Server side automated bots, i.e Mercenaries on live, then no. You may multi-box (play more than one) character at a time.

    Q. What is this MQ2 that I keep hearing about?
    A. MQ2 is short for MacroQuest2. It hooks into the EQ client and effectively adds a programming language to do things in game. Start with the E3 macro listed above, which is built on MQ and is your best option to start playing more than 1 character if desired.

    Q. /ooc Is there a GM online??????
    A. Most likely, there is a GM lurking. Be it "online" on the server or reading discord. Depending on what you need and the level of effort to address your need, said lurking GM may or may not have time to deal with it. As such, the "is there a GM online?" request will more times than not, go unanswered. So, just ask your question and say what you need in /ooc. Many times the player base will have the answer.
