    When you start a backing recipe, remember to take a look at how many (fillet / truffle ....) you will have with ONE combine.

      If you are having trouble seeing around doors (happens to me in LDoN adventures quite often), turn your back to the door and (while in 1st person view) use the mouse wheel to zoom out beyond the doors. Helps immensely to see beyond doors and to target any mobs you find there.

      Also, please don't forget this one:

      Some skills (Alchemy & Spell Research come to mind) have a skill cap tied to your level – that is, you can only raise you skill so high every level, until you finally hit the level where tha cap maxes out.

      Example: Spell Research skill cap = 5 * (Your level - 15). At level16 (when a caster is first allowed to train the skill), you can only train or skill up 5 points, since 5 * (16-15) = 5. You can get 200 in Research at level 55
      I knew it, and forgot it, and ended up wasting about 75 research combines because of it. I posted about it in the Primal Scream room if you want the whole story...

        many forget this.

        If you think you lost something to a bug, look for it in the forge or loom.

            Always remember when you are using your no rent trophy bags. Never place anything that you are not willing to lose inside one of these bags. Linkdeaths, network failures, etc can cause sudden game expulsion and you might not make it back in time to save the no rent bags.

            I'd recommend placing a sticky note that says USING NO RENT BAGS on your monitor when you are using them. You don't want to be the one petitioning a GM for your 7th shawl replacement because you were a bonehead one night...

              When creating a new toon there is a (fairly) easy way to set up his windows/hotkeys to match another toon. The easist way to do this is to open a "command" prompt:

              - Make sure you are not logged into a toon (being on the char select screen is OK.)

              - Click "Start" then "Run..."

              - Enter "command" for Win 98/ME, "cmd" for 2K/XP. Hit enter.

              - Go to your EQ directory (usually "c:\program files\everquest") by typing 'cd "\program files\everquest" '. Note that the double-quotes are necessary around the folder name. Hit enter.

              - Get a list of all the files for the original toon. For example, to get a list of all of Deeger's files I would type "dir *deeger*" and hit enter.

              - Copy each of the files and use the new toons name. For example, I would type "copy UI_Deeger_.ini UI_Mynewtoon_.ini" and press enter. (You could do "copy *deeger* *Mynewtoon*" but depending on your names it might not work.)

              When you are done the new toon will have the same setup as the original one.

                wooooo... there's a much simpler way to do what he just said. Not that I'm trying to undercut you, but, um, for reasons that won't be discussed here, I avoid using the 'run' command whenever possible... /embarrased-grin!



                When I make a new alt, I log in once, immediately sit down and camp out while complaining to the thin air about the default UI, then go into my EQ folder and find:

                UI_Tinkbang_marr.ini

                double click to open
                ctrl-A to highlight all
                ctrl-C to copy all
                close

                then I find:

                UI_NewAltsName_marr.ini

                double click to open
                ctrl-A to highlight all
                ctrl-V to paste
                ctrl-S to save
                close


                repeat if desired for the "Tinkbang_marr.ini" --> "NewAltsName_marr.ini" set; this file controls hotkeys and friends list and other such options.
                ---------------------------------

                Other things I thought of:

                Going into eqclient.ini and F3-search 'log' will take you to the line where you can toggle logging on. I could never find this option in game, but might have been just me.

                eqclient.ini, F3-search "join" will find you the autojoin list.
                server.channelwrd,server.channelwrd
                Very handy for when you have, um, 6 channels, then want to remove channel 1 without debunking the placement of your other channels, then want to replace it later with something actually useful.

                ------------------------------------

                And to answer the question from the previous page:

                /hot - the command to make a hotkey.
                AI - what I personally call my button
                /autoinventory - one of the best commands. Evar. /hug.

                Makes a hotkey on the cursor that you can put in whichever key you wish.

                  If I recall correctly, there is no way to set the eqclient.ini's "startup" logging status ingame. Ingame you *can* turn logging on/off for this sesson, but its state (on/off) is not saved for later use.

                  So for the current session:"/log" will toggle you between logging on/off, and "/log [on|off]" (ie, "/log on" or "/log off") will explicitly set it to that state.

                    Not true, the line in eqclient.ini LOG=TRUE will automatically log all chars every session. You may have to add the line.

                      Tinile -- He said ingame, meaning there is no command in the chat window or Options menu to set that line.

                        Doesn't "/log on" turn logging on permanently? I think it's the only command I used many months ago, and logging has been on forever since then.

                            never cast gate or even mem it in bazaar when you have 500k+ on you landing in pot "LOADING PLEASE WAIT"

                            a horse /lizard can let you move even when you have 500k+ on you but you must also have lev or a little bump will kill you too

                              Any "movement buff" will let you move at some speed regardless of encumberance (without any form of speed enhancement, suffiicent encumberance will prevent you from moving at all). This includes things like Selo's, SoW, horses/drogmors, and innate runspeed.

                                It was a bad idea to put them in game in the first place.
