Weapon merchant

Since I have not yet started with a weapon in any of the tutorials I've tested, Can we try adding a merchant (Or putting them in an existing merchant) that sells the beginner weapons until the script for starting with one can be hammered out?

If you have a list of what weapons players are "born" with, please let me know. I can add that to the server (or, you can if you choose to take on the task ;))

btw, I have been consumed by getting this new portal working the last week, so no work has been done on the emulator by me... sorry about that. Need the site to work, though :(

Well, I don't know how to do it (yet, I delayed my learning CC 'till I finish moving), But I can try to collect the data for all the starting weapons/armor (I think they start with a chest and a leg slot). I'll start tomorow, Not the thing I fancy at 3 A.M. :wink:

PS. The site looks wonderful, I like it.

Awesome. I am just going to start a trial account (Or two, but this should take like 1/2 an hour, tops). Is there any kind of data harvester I can use without somehow forever ruining myself with them?

And if there is, Is it simple? I fear I am not that bright sometimes....

Ahhh, Oh well, Anyways. If there anything I do to figure out what would be involved in getting pets to work?
I am a total pet man.

Just finished installing EQ2 a bit ago, I'll also write down the stats on all the claimable gear and so on.

I know that it is too early in the project for this type of suggestion to take any of the dev's valuable time.


It might be a good idea to implement a weapon merchant when it comes time to test content and a way to reset quests at the player level so an individual player could repeat a particular quest multiple times so they can test the difficulty of different setups / levels and make recommendations for adjustments.

I can fully appreciate the annoyance of people making suggestions without understanding just how difficult it is to implement them but this is just a thought for the future if its possible.

It would be relatively easy to make some kind of gear merchant or buffbot actually, we just haven't had any content to test really :P . For now /itemsearch, or summoning items, will allow you to get gear though. I've been working on deving Frostfang Sea and the first island is about 60% scripted so hopefully soon there will be some stuff to test content wise.

If you need to know what people get from /claim as vet rewards, let me know.

My account is apparently 9 years and 6 months old thanks to expansion pack bonus time.
