Info on FV?Follow

They have a trivial loot code, no loot if mob doesnt give exp, and there is only one toon per account.
In addition there is no common tongue so most folks have to learn human, which is the default language.

Actually, majority of the player base speaks Elvish. There's also 3 slots instead of 1 now. There's also no more trivial loot, as I'm able to farm tradeskill items from gray mobs.

There is no Trival loot code any longer. It interfered with quests. I can't remember if it interfered with tradeskill items.

Ok just change the date of my first post in this thread to July 5, 2002.

I knew I should have left the answer to some who actually plays there now.

Thanks all :)

What about required / recommended levels on items? Do they exist on FV?

So you can trade an augmented weapon or piece of gear, eh?

I've been foolin around a bit on FV and it is interesting, from the point of view of a "different" EQ experience. Oddities like when you equip an attunable item you still get the warning window but the item is still tradeable even after you equip it. Plus I saw the highest-priced item ever, someone asking 11 million plat for a warrior 1-hander!

Since all augments are tradeable, bunches of them on the market. Weird seeing augments that I spent hours camping for listed for sale...

While FV has a rep for high prices, this isn't really true. Most of the gear sold on other servers sells for LESS on FV because the stuff that's no-drop on other servers can be traded on FV hence flooding the market with goods.

Alchemists can make out here since my experience so far is that potions can be hard to find, especially more offbeat pots like regen, lev and see-invis.

I have to admit at lower levels it seems harder to find groups than on other servers. Even the hot zones at lower levels are mostly empty. A popular zone like Velks has at most 9 players in it and often no more than 2-4. Guilds aren't recruiting much from what I can tell: the guild bulletin board is considerably smaller than those I've seen on other servers.

I thought that the recommended/required level qualifiers still work like on other servers. But I just ran into a level 60 player who was using a weapon with a level 70 requirement. He admitted it didn't give him any stats but he claimed it was hitting at its full 20dmg/20delay value and clearly he was doing a lot of damage with it. So maybe the "required" qualifier doesn't apply to a weapon's damage output??

I'm going to test this since I bought a level 85 required weapon even tho my toon is only 55. It was a good deal and I wanted to give myself an incentive to level up! I already know I can equip it (the slot shows yellow) but I didn't bother to try since I assumed it would operate as a crappy "1-dmg" item. We shall see!
