How to Cast Wrath of Nature? (Druid)Follow

I haven't played EQ in about 5 years or so and I can't believe how much I've forgotten...and how much has changed.

Ok, really stupid question - I have the Druid Epic Nature Walker's Scimitar but I can't for the life of me figure out how to cast Wrath of Nature with it. I have tried putting the Scimitar on one of the Hot Keys (assuming the row of keys that scroll through 9 different rows are the Hot Keys) but can't get the image to go into one. When I click on the scimitar in my abilities box, it just begins the melee. I know I'll kick myself when I get the answer.

Thank you in advance to anyone who can help with this. :)

Thank you so much, Jonwin. Worked perfectly! Ok, stupid question number 2 - how do I fly higher with SOE? I've tried the page up key, the page up key on my numbers keypad. I know there has to be a way to do this.

Gosh, I have forgotten so much, that just to kill a bat is a chore....lol.

LOL - I can imagine Trolls would have a tad harder time to get airborne. *grins*

Thank you so much alwayslost. With trial and error last night I pretty much figured high flying was accomplished by already being on a tall area. I played around with looking up and using the up arrow; will try that again. When I used to play regularly, I recall the area that I typically always flew through was the snowy area where the Yetis are on my way to the Dreadlands. (Had to look up a zone map to recall the names...and I used to be so familiar with them.) In that case I think I was beginning from a higher elevation.

I really appreciate your help, Jonwin & alwayslost. My main is a 61 Woodelf Druid. At the time I began playing EQ, the highest level was 65. I had three goals I wanted to meet before I quit playing: to save enough plat to purchase a horse, get my epic weapon, and reach level 65. I accomplished the first two, but while I was still playing the highest level was pushed up to 75. After a long absence, I think I've seen players at level 90? I've given up on levels since it is a moving target...lol. I just want to refamiliarize myself with the game before I join any groups so I'm not a liability.

For the last 4 years I've been in the virtual world of SecondLife and found myself trying to use the same key combinations in EQ that I use in SL and wonder why nothing is happening. :/

Sidenote: alwayslost - I love your name. The character I began EQ with was a High Elf Paly. That was before I knew anything about stats and that a High Elf wasn't the greatest choice for a Paly, plus I was going broke paying Druids for SoW. For some reason I had the hardest time with swimming. If there was a body of water around, my Paly fell into it somehow...even when I would occasionally dust her off when I was more seasoned in the game. Thus, I gave her the last name of "Aguamuerte" - which means (loosely) "Water Death" in Spanish. My profile tag line for her is "Drowning all Over Norrath."

Ahh, but I got to witness your "sinking powers" too. It was kind of funny in a "man that would drive me crazy if it was happening to me" kind of way.


Azalysa: welcome back and enjoy the ride. I have come back to this game a few times. This go round I have be refreshed by starting over on the Time-locked progression and helping my brother who moved most of our old characters to FV ( I went along with this plan since I had no real goals for the old characters).

My highest character is level 70... I've had a lot of fun with alts the past few years doing AA in the 55-65 range as you can ridiculously overgear yourself for what that content was intended for. My brother's bard can tank with one healer (pc or merc) in Bastion of Thunder now... which I saw level 65 warriors with many AA fail to do back in the day with a full group supporting them.

The thing I am gladdest of with the army of retired characters that occasionally get dusted off is that because I haven't rushed to gain 10-30 levels to catch them up I am not horribly behind as far as power and ability to do the content goes. That's far more depressing (i.e., to be level 89 and useless) than to be outside of the population mass at end-game (at least to me).

Times shared are good times ;-)

The time-locked progression servers are were started a few months ago. One is called Fippy Darkpaw and just voted to unlock the Kunark Expansion. Vulak'Aerr is the 2nd one (smaller population) and is in the midst of thier vote right now. While not exactly-as-it-was, the TLP servers don't have the newer content (zones, weapons, levels... spells... etc.) so the "old game" is harder. There is no AA on progression for a while yet (it's Luclin expansion so a few months away at the earliest). Global xp rate is different too so its way faster to group to get xp. There's a few Alla poster playing in a guild on Vulak called <Seekers of Stars>. Feel free to roll some new characters there (anyone) that wants to try it out. Catch Jonwain, Segundo, the absent-of-late Suzac (me) or someone else with the <SoS> tag for an invite.

As for transfers. You can transfer from most server to FV or Zek (pvp) by using the /servertransfer command. It pops up a window that is pretty straightforward. The moves are one-way though... whereas the paid moves between other regular servers you can redo.

FV ruleset was simplified a bit when they made this available... more character slots, higher xp rate, etc. No /ooc and languages remain. Population seems okay, but I haven't played a whole lot there to know... my brother swears by it though and says it's the only reason he's still in EQ (he didn't like progression).
