EVERQUEST - What is IHCmerc? What can it do for you and how to use it.

This tutorial shows you how to setup and use IHCmerc. IHC merc is an add on that works with the Redguides Very Vanilla MQ2. It allows you to turn almost any class into a merc. Setup requires only 2 steps!
NOTE: This program will not work on TRUEBOX TLP servers, but may work on the Rizlona TLP.

Thank you CM! I always enjoy your less than 1 hour vids. Dont get me wrong... I like them all but 1 hour maxes out my attention span. lol

[@machine00]

Huge help again thks alot

[@doctornachoz8099]

Glad it helped. It's now called RGmercs.

[@billsharp7698]

With the new boxing servers coming, it's good to see you reviewing these.

[@stanleyhavok]

Id like to see more on Kiss Assist. From what ive seen so far you need to click much of what your doing. And, isnt this what the whole Mercenary play is on Current live servers?

[@l0yal19]

Hey CM99! love your content. Would you recommend IHC over INI configs? Or do you think there's situations that call for one over the other? Are the burns, spell rotations and buffs comparable? What are your thoughts?

[@doctornachoz8099]

Great question! I feel IHC is great for toons that are in the leveling up process, but INI configs are better if you're max level or are going to be at a level for a while. Manually tweaking the INI has the advantage of tailoring your character(s) to the encounter he/she is fighting in. For example, the IHC shaman will slow and dot by default, but if your team is killing the mobs in 25 seconds, you would want your shaman to instead nuke so the mob dies in 20 seconds. In other cases, I want to cast some spells earlier or later than IHC does and the INI lets you tweak it down to the exact percentage you want the spell to go off. Finally, for raids I setup my cleric to focus on more group heals to deal with the big AoE's that are hitting. In the end, IHC does about 90% of what I need in normal situations, but the tweaked INI is so much fun to tinker with!

[@doctornachoz8099]

One thing I forgot to mention is that IHC has one big advantage over INI configs and that is the ability the simplify the boxing process. It only takes two commands after install to get your team up and running, so you drop in a new toon and you're off to the races moments later. This ease of use is great for new players!

[@timstallons9301]

question? do you type command every time you start up the game and load your char?

[@doctornachoz8099]

They changed it to RGmercs, but I think you still have to load it up manually like before.

[@115goog]

cool

[@mercanyinriechert6732]

does this work with fresh characters are level 1 and associated spells?

[@doctornachoz8099]

Yes, it works on low levels characters on non truebox servers. Unfortunately, I've had a lot of people tell me IHC has a few minor issues at the low levels with mana usage and spells, so it might be better to keep an eye on the IHC toons until you get a few levels.

[@GES1985]

So $10/month will run how many characters, 5 "mercs" + main character? All from one computer?

[@doctornachoz8099]

I've seen players run an entire raid of 56 with one redguides MQ2 account on a single computer.

[@GES1985]

@doctornachoz8099 what all can be done with just the basic 10/month sub?

[@doctornachoz8099]

Yes, the $10 redguides sub did all of that. In fact, I ran the same MQ2 account on all 4 of my computers so you don't need to pay $10 for each computer if they are all in the same physical location. Btw, you can also pay with Krono if you have some of those.

[@GES1985]

​@@doctornachoz8099is 10/mo all it takes to run 5 "merc" characters alongside one played toon?

[@strNpwrKC]

This is what kills MMOs :-/

[@doctornachoz8099]

If the MMO is dying, you gotta give the boxers a server or else they're going to all be on the non box servers.

[@billsharp7698]

The game is 21 years old..... Boxers have been around since the beginning. It's not dead yet.

[@iasbi8512]

​ CM99games. You need to understand the difference between boxxing and botting. ANY program that allows for automatic gameplay without physical input is against the rules. You will get banned. There are programs that broadcast keystrokes, such as ISBoxer, which is not a botting program. Many multi-boxers use ISboxer, but none of it is automated, as you still need to press a key to cause a character to perform certain actions. The program you are using is automated and will cause yourself and others who use it to be banned.

[@doctornachoz8099]

Hmm, lots of people use this program on the live and test servers and don't get banned. We saw lots of it on Rizlona and no bans either.

[@sodakupop]

Okay, why are you promoting botting tools on your channel? At this point it isn’t boxing, it’s botting which kills TLPs.

[@doctornachoz8099]

The is a new TLP Boxing server named Rizlona that will be released on may 27th.
