- My top five things to know as a brand new player to EQ2.
Including:
1. /claim items
2. leveling recommendations
3. how to travel in game
4. how to get platinum, a house and a mount - easy!
5. How to make the most of your beginning experience
I'm about to play EQ2 for the first time. Thanks for the tips. Much appreciated.
Hope it helps!
You saved me with the Fast Travel. I had no idea and had AllAccess for over a month already, running back and forth between the guild hall and Qeynos to use spires and druid rings. Thank you!
The funny thing is that it isn't available on the TLE, Varsoon, but I'm so used to fast travel, that every time I open the map on Varsoon I get mad realizing I have to run.
I am going to start EQ2 and those video really helped me a lot! thx and hope you are doing some more EQ2 content =)
I am going to make a toon on the TLE coming out and will likely do some videos then. Glad it's still helping.
Just started EQ2 and found this video to be extremely helpful. Thank you!
Glad it is helping
@@zorgonox8479 Do you have a video that covers encounters? Coming from EQ1 where we split groups for single pulls and/or use CC to manage encounters, it would be helpful to better understand how EQ2 implemented linked mobs and what that means for managing encounters. I am assuming the strategy is just not “Zerging”. Thanks.
@@emailSethTurner Not yet - but that isn't a bad idea. I have a nice list going, should put something out next weekend.
The original tutorial island makes me miss the original race sub cities in freeport/quenos
Wow! Many great tips. Had no idea about the agnostic dungeons, quick travel, and training the merc and I've sorta goofed around off and on since launch (very, very, very casual... just button mashing mostly). Thanks for posting this.
I haven't seen your other videos, but a part 2 might be nice too to show familiars, mercs and overseers. Also important is the adornment reclamation spell. Side note, if you end up on the boat, you can click the wheel to get off.
I just returned, and I'm doing a fresh start from a 15 year absence. This was tremendously helpful -- thanks!
Did you get the Veteran Rewards? I played 99-01 but didn't receive anything
@@Crown-Coke Yes, I got 12 years of veteran rewards. Are you sure you are on the right account?
Very good video! I like how you cover the different starting areas and /claim function! This should help all those new players starting on the NEW Tarinax TLE server.
Glad you liked it!
look for a specific beginner's consideration guide to Tarinax soon! Much of this information can be used, but /claims, fast travel, starting areas among other things will look different on the new TLE server.
Appreciate this video and the help!
Glad it still has good pointers
Great intro. Thanks. Can you pickup mercs in other cities like Neriak?
I started playing this game again after about 10 years and it's still great. Still lots I don't remember or know about it
Same.
Audio is a bit low, however great tips they have helped alot. Thank you.
great job! ... I started EQOA on PS2 :)
Glad it helped
@@zorgonox8479 very nostalgic! I haven't played in a few years!
I went back to it and realized my account is 18 years old 😅❤
Interesting, I played 99-01 and then came back to EQ a couple of years ago, but I don't get any of these /claims
Great guide! Ty!
Thanks!
12:46 one the reasons I stopped playing EQ2 in the day and went back to EQ was because the game was unplayable on anything except low/medium and I had the best tech for the time. The design logic of “we will make a game that’s unplayable today so it still looks good in 10 years time” was pretty dumb.
Not to mention that you can never predict the future, so multi-core processing wasn't really in their thinking if my understanding is correct, so you still have some issues to this day on a mid-range tower because it wasn't built with todays processors or gpu's in mind.
@@zorgonox8479 this is one big area that WoW outplayed them. EQ2 lost me as a paying customer pretty quickly. Art design > technical fidelity. Though I can’t blame the devs back then for not knowing that. I CAN call them out for a pretty obvious poor design choice of “build it and it will eventually work”. Not a good business decision.
I have an account from when it was Sony. What do I have to do to start playing again? Daybreak does not recognize my old login info. Thanks if anyone could help out.
You'll have to contact Daybreak Games and hope for the best. I have heard of people having their accounts recovered and those that have lost everything. Good luck!
All my new characters are forced to the ship and queens island tutorial zone. How do I start elsewhere?
Oh man, sorry I didn't see this earlier - talk to the guy on the dock of the island tutorial, you will get the option to leave to the other starting areas.
Helpful content! It's so quiet though. Hard to hear what you're saying with my volume maxed.
yes, it seems to be an ongoing plague with my videos. I'm grateful to all of you who suffer through my learning curve.
This is a great starting if you have an old account. Would have been better with a brand new F2P to show how it actually looks. And also not have a recent content (aka merc training.) Out of that good content
thanks, I do briefly touch on the merc training, I may make another that goes more in depth. I wish I had thought of creating a brand new account for comparison - good feedback!
Any advice to handle the spell/ability bloat? I started playing on release and occasionally return but the spell bloat is insane. I have a level 100 Paladin who has 72 abilities on the bars and that is not having them all on there. This is the one thing that stops me from playing anymore.
Yes. Macros. Create a macro and stack all those abilities together. I don't think I have a video on it, but you can do a simple search. Basically you can reduce the number of hot buttons to 1-3 spell bars, yet have access to every ability you can use.
@@zorgonox8479 Thank you! I love the EQ2 lore and started my MMO lovefest with EQ. I have never considered macros. I will raise a glass in your honour, good sir!
@@jazznblues9496 I'll drink to that
I love how many spells are in EQ2! It's one of the reasons I keep coming back. Modern MMOs use only 1 or 2 hotbars and I find it really boring. EQ2 is so fun because u have 4 hotbars that actually get used there's so much more variety to combat than other MMOs because of it
do you have a crafting guide?
No, sorry. That's a good idea though.
How do get so many skill slots

What F2P server would you recommend? I played EQ2 for a couple of years right from launch, but would like to get back into it again soon.
Halls of Fate seems to have the largest population. There is also a lot of activity on Antonius Bayle. Both these servers will be top heavy, so the leveling may be lonely - but quick.
@@zorgonox8479 I honestly see Both Maj’dul and Hall of Fate go head to head with the population ever now and then :) I didn’t know Antonius Bayle was still pretty active :) thank for giving this to the new comers!! Also Welcome to everyone who is new!
Not sure I can trust someone who plays a 🐸
You are jealous I snagged the name Bogwarts. I guess you don't want to meet my monk..... =)
Better not start, it's online is dead.
Not if you have friends! With just 2 rl friends and mercs, you've got 85% of the content available to you. Joining discord is helpful in getting groups as well.
And if a bunch of people ignored this and started anyway, what would happen?
