i could be a halfling paladin, a dark elf cleric or a... half elf warrior? maybe even a mage
I was wondering this too...
watch in 480
Learning curve.. I dunno, it might be hard. I could show you around.
Downloading now.
Play a real MMO.
I played for a while back when it was in Beta... The fatigue system was SO gay.
Agreed.
There aren't many good MMO's other than Eve Online.
str - useless, except for carrying more stuff. Not useful in combat.
agi - some ac, defense stuff, not too important really
dex - high dex means more weapon procs when you get weapons with procs
wis - mana for priest casters, paladin, ranger
int - mana for robe caster, sk
cha - only used by bards and enchanters for charm spells
warrior, monk, rogue - as many into sta as possible, if any left go dex
sk - all into sta (or if you are high sta race like ogre, troll, all points into int)
paladin - all into sta
ranger - all into sta
druid, cleric, shaman - as many into wis as can, then sta (shammies may want a little more sta, because they eat their hps into mana with cannibalize)
enchanter, necro, mage, wizard - as many into int as possible, rest into sta (MAYBE str if you wanna carry more shit in your bags, but really hp > carrying capacity imo)

If you're still sk you don't have to worry about too much before leaving town. I don't remember if they were doing level 9 for hybrid spells, or going with the newer level 1 system. If they are doing level 1 (if you have a blue mana bar), you need to find the SK trainer, right click and put 1 point into meditate. You can spend the rest of your points if you want as well, it doesn't really matter. All the other skills you start with go up without having a point placed into them, med won't.
use link above to get to nek forest. Dark Elf city of Neriak is one of the coolest cities, and prolly the easiest to get lost in. Once you find nek forest, you won't have to venture far from the guards to kill things for exp. Starting out in eq is slow, just how it is. Real fun doesn't start for a bit.

See above, at level 6 you will need to return to SK trainer to put 1 point into bash. Bash is a shield skill that does a tiny bit of damage, adds agro and sometimes interrupts spell casting, very useful.
SK skills. FYI skill cap formula until you hit the first hard cap is level * 5 + 5. Have taunt and harm touch buttons on hotkey thingy. Should press taunt every time it ungreys when in battle, to skill up with it. Harm Touch is a massive instant cast DD spell unique to shadow knights, refreshes in 72 minutes. Use in emergencies or for fun, VERY useful in pvp.
As for your spells.. there is a group of NPCs standing around somewhere in Neriak that sell them. It's made a lot easier on this server than live was back in the day, all level 1-20 spells for every class are available in that large group of NPCs. Under their names it will say like (Shadow Knight Spell Merchant) or whatever. As a SK, you need to check SK AND Necro spell vendors. A bit tedious, but hold right click on each spell to see what level/if you get the spells. There aren't THAT many. Before you can buy spells though, you will need cash - go kill things in nek.
i think the spell vendors in neriak can be found in neriak 3rd gate, by the Cleric guild. Ask in /shout if you need help finding them, and ignore any asshats in chat.
After buying spells (you may start with 1 or 2 in inventory), you need to put them in your spellbook. Ctrl + B (B for book) brings up your spellbook, and makes your character sit down. Then you gotta pick up a spell from inventory and click it into a spot in your book where you wanna place it. Once the spell is in your book, it's in there for good unless you delete it. No need to buy the same spell again. And you can then left click spell from book, and left click spell slot on the left where you wanna put the spell. You are limited to 8 spells at a time, but once med skill increases switching spells out is really fast.
i'm gonna sleep for a very long time now. any more questions ask here i will check back and be in game to help sometime maybe sorry
freeport is one of the human cities

^rough list of SK spells, is outdated and the emu server people prolly changed the levels around and added new spells. I think you get spells starting at level 1, not 9.
