Level 56 Naked RogueFollow

I just recently got my account back after a year of not playing. Upon getting my account back I found that my level 56 rogue somehow dissapeared. I petitioned to get him back. The Petition was successful...well sort of. I got my 56 rogue back, except he was naked. I lost everything I had.

http://www.magelo.com/eq_view_profile.html?num=657386

That is what I had for anyone that is curious.

As soon as I realized this, I sent another petition. After about a week of waiting for a respone, I just now finally got my response. "Because of the length in time, we will not be able to reimburse the items."

I wish there was a way to somehow get my stuff back, but I don't think there is.

What does everyone think? Is it completely pointless to even play this character anymore? Who the hell is going to want to group with a naked level 56 rogue? Who the hell is going to want to group with a level 56 rogue with a fine steel rapier wearing tattered armor with cutthroat rings?

Opinions plz, thx, la~~

I wouldn't want to throw the character away - not after all the work to get there. If you were planning on beginning a new toon, do it. Maybe after getting to know some people you'll find folks willing to help re-outfit your rogue.

That is not possible on Fironia Vie though. Fironia Vie is limited to one character per account.

Most people that I did know don't play anymore.

DON'T throw your character away. Work to get your stuff back. SOE has this thing that if you cancel your accout then your toon will stay on their servers for about 6 months. As soon as they see a toon that has not been played in this lenght of time or longer then they elete the toon. I hate to say it, but another otion you have is to pay and have your toon changed to another server that can have muliple toons. For instance, bring him over to THE RATHE server and start there

Although i am not one to advocate the action i am about to surgest to you, i feel that you have a somewhat unique situation that lets me put aside my amity and say: Why don't you buy some pp? 50K would set you up nicely with some better than average gear and then you can basicly carry as though you never left.

As i say usually i would advocate it but if you really want to get back into the game it may be the best option for you.

Buying Plat in your case is not a bad idea.

Although, if you went farming, you could make a couple grand in a night, and that would get you some decent enough gear. It would be enough to get you back on your way. Are your Rogues skills all maxed? But definatly do not delete him.

it may be hard to farm and kill effectivly with a rusty weapon!!

Just stick it out. Wow I actually like that challenge. Being able to equip almost anything because you have passed almost all of the level requirements. I personally detest the suggestions of buying plat to equip yourself. Just use alla and see what you could go after. Get a few decent things and let the rest of the slots go for abit and work your way up slowly to an awesome weapon and then all the other slots will start filling in faster. I think you are in a unique position. I see it as a way to almost absolutely make you need to master the skills you already have. Since you are out of practice then there ya go.

I don't understand something. If you do not play for a year, but continue to pay the SoE fee, can your character be deleted? Or is it only when you discontinue payments that a character can be wiped?

I had stopped paying for my account, so I believe it is only when you are not paying and your account is inactive.

Thanks for all the opinions.

Your right not many people will group with a naked L56 rogue. Firiona Vie is a different kinda server from the others. If you don't want to, or cannot afford, the plat buying angle.

Your only really strategy is to pretend for a week, or two that your L10 rogue. And start farming, and filling the slots. On one hand that is going to suck. On the other L56 naked farming spiderling silks, and LQ hides, is super rare. Plus if you have any decent tradeskills worked up, you can start making, and selling stuff in the bazaar. Worst part of this advice is FV bazaar MUST be really different from most, seeing how all that N0-drop stuff, is droppable. And that alone has to change the rules in the bazaar.

I say don't buy plat. Take a trip to East Karana, kill as many Krag spiders and animals as possible, save the silk and any quality pelt to sell in the bazaar. You should be able to make 1k in 2-3 hours. Do that a few times until you have 4k-5k. With that you can but a full set of Gotic/Deep Cavern Ringmail Armor, a Legendary Dagger of Might, and whatever you want to get for an offhand. Defenders Lightblade is really cheap, 300pp-400pp. Now you have a full set of so-so gear that will keep you happy until you can upgrade.

if your a rogue, go pick pocket hill giants, or other higher level mobs that drop loots.

Spend 1 week in the Gobby Fort in Warsliks Woods. The zone is empty.

The shrunken earring goes for 9.5 k and is not lore. You should pick up 3 or 4 in a week.

The words are selling for 25pp each because no one is doing the low level content anymore.

The gobby skin is 45plat each!( I almost destroyed it..never thought it was worth anything)

Iksar Scaled Gloves are 150pp.

I had to upgrade my 55 Necro a bit and this place really helped.

There are a lot of really good ideas here, thanks. Now I just need to look at getting a fine steel piercer or something. I suppose I could kill spiderlings for their silks with my fists though if neccesary, haha.

Now if only I could have an automated response when people question why I am naked at level 56.

Say you got married and then divorced in-game, and your wife took everything.

only one problem with the 56 farming spider silks (unless farming in DL against recluses and such (still might be a problem) the trivial loot code wont let you loot spider silks/spiderling silks will it? It seems to me some high level asked me to "raid" with him so he could farm spider silks

The TLC only applies to magical items. All other items you can loot at higher than challange lvls.

This does have the downside of when trying to get your newbie armor SOME of the drops needed are magical in nature.

I'm confused.

Does it say somewhere that the OP plays on FV?

It's been 3 days now since the initial post - I am curious about what equipment the Rogue got by now :)

You can recover from naked situations. It takes work and time. I am staggered they even deleted your epic. Sorry for that *sigh*

Farming tradeskill items is your way to instant and easy pp, even if naked. You are fortunate in one respect, all you need is reasonable equipment and a good weapon in the end. Rogues do not need to tank so you could join ldons and other groups on quite poor equipment and no one will notice or care, you still deal dps.

Inheriting a cleric recently that was completely naked, I sympathise. I half equipped her to FT4 (still naked in many slots) before playing her in ldons and other easy groups. Within 3 weeks I had enough ldon points to buy her a BP, legs and an FT2 augment. She is now well equipped after playing her in loot farming areas like Bot tables (/cheer FT bracers).
So recover some equipment, ldon, buy the rest with ldon points. It will all come back very fast Smiley: smile

I have a bracer in my trader bags I have been trying to sell for 3 weeks or so for Eivissa and no one is buying it. I am sure Eivissa would not mind you having this and I can see about something else maybe Smiley: wink

Contact myself in game, I play Jennock, Jennork and Rinoah.
