[@BubbleoniaRising]

I know this old content for you, but I am starting my ISboxer journey now and following your guide. Thanks for making this series.

[@hammackj]

Welcome aboard! If you have any questions please feel free to ask on discord.

[@thewindigo5267]

Man, you're cranking out so much EQ content, and I'm enjoying pretty much every series!

[@hammackj]

Glad you enjoy it! I try my best =) Let me know if you have any suggestions

[@fernandorees1]

Thanks for the video, man. And also for publishing the .doc file. Really helpful!

[@hammackj]

Glad it was helpful! I will be updating it as the series goes if things change. I wish I had used google docs for the other series instead of txt files =P

[@Roguedeus]

This looks good. It'll give me something to casually watch for some time to come.

[@hammackj]

Thanks, this series is pretty slow. Every other episode is a refinement episode for spells and macros. The Sons of Thule series is a faster paced trio with a bit less explanation.

[@Roguedeus]

@@hammackj You've been a big help over the last few months, with the EMU server setup and all. I am cool with some walk through. Likely going to show me things I haven't considered.

[@white3265]

This sounds like a great idea for new people who are trying to figure their way around the game. I look forward to the new series.

[@hammackj]

I hope you enjoy I show all the steps in this series as much as possible.

[@samuelchampion7293]

Can't wait to start watching this series. Not a big deal really but was wondering along with the self find rule if you would / could ignore any defiant also, it's something I'm doing myself and found without the defiant gear it has become much more fun but either way can't wait for this series. God bless and hope your days are going good.

[@hammackj]

I plan on doing the defiantless stuff on a TLP run. On live 1-80 is relatively fast (days/weeks) with effort. So farming Planar armor -> Velious armor -> etc would be a lot of work to replace it in a level or two. Around level 70 to 80 "group" gear is fairly consistent and I plan on progressing those gear sets. I am a bit ahead on all my series so this group has already advanced somewhat and make use of defiant. I do limit it to only loot they personally loot.

[@TsunamiMike623]

Hammack, looks great. I have some word docs for the Hero quests, Paragon quests, and Bayle's Heraldric Crest for those levels. If you want them, let me know the best way to get them to you. They don't fully replace the website stuff, but they do prevent you from having to go to Allah's all the time (which prevents the incessant bombardment of ads)

[@hammackj]

Awesome, best way would be discord. We have a channel for everquest related stuff way easier to share info than comments.

[@thisismychannel607]

Im doing a monk, bard, mage and druid comp right now. The idea i had was the monk just getting crazy haste buffs from the bard, the mage's damage shield on the mnk and the mage pet pretty much being automated so i dont have to do much. Im so bad at multi tasking, i wantdd to keep it simple

[@hammackj]

Pretty good idea, using the other 2 to buff the monk, with mercs that comp would be really good.

[@ihopethedayfindsyouwell9995]

Wow lots of info seems well thought out. It's been a long time since I played EQ, thinking about doing it again, looking forward to hearing about boxing- very interested in how to do it.

[@hammackj]

Thank you

[@liamlad1]

I went with a druid instead of a second tank. Wanted SOW and other buffs ... using the DoT's as extra DPS. Looking forward to this series.

[@hammackj]

Nice, druid is a great class. Thank you for watching.

[@billsharp7698]

Love the TLP group, if it comes to pass that we do get a boxing TLP will be fun to watch. Looking forward to the Live group playing through those zones and seeing their progression.

[@hammackj]

Yeah I hope they drop a boxing TLP. Has to be a gold mine server type for them.

[@dbridle09]

I’m really interested in this. I bought a heroic character and really regretted it as i missed so much content. Looking forward to the episodes so i can follow along! Are you going to be streaming this series as well as YouTubing?

[@hammackj]

This one is just KZbin, multiboxing and streaming take a lot of out me. There is a ton of content between 1 and 85, multiple paths through it also. You can also use a heroic character to farm money for spells and stuff for a lower lever character. I am currently streaming the Monk Self Found series M/W/S @ 9pm cst. When that series ends I am going to do a stream duo.

[@Kindertautenleider]

maybe play/ try multiple characters and just focus on the play, dont worry about end game, just have fun

[@Thelastkingoftwatland]

I've decided to start boxing so I will probably ask 100 million questions, Sorry in advance.

[@hammackj]

Np ;)

[@subibrothersbrewing6598]

Nothing as sweet as getting all those delicious buffs stripped by chromodrakes in skyfire Maybe one episode in underfoot expansion at level appropriate. Hard hits there. You forgot to end the episode reminding us that Druids still suck. Lol

[@hammackj]

Underfoot will be crazy depending on what gear we have =P

[@subibrothersbrewing6598]

@@hammackj one of the times I came back to the game, I went there with my cleric merc. Spent about 3-4 hours and was like, nope, hits way to hard.

[@petermiller9878]

I agree with your pronunciation of Nagafen.

[@hammackj]

Hardest part of the game is pronunciation of stuff =P

[@johnfoster9160]

@@hammackj Lol, I believe its Nag Uh Fin, which is why it's easier just to say Naggy :)

[@travisnotime5767]

Sweet.

[@hammackj]

Very!

[@steveh.690]

New subscriber,, but long time player. Never did boxing. I know the video is a year old. But how many accounts did you use for this ? I 3 accounts can I box with just 3 accounts?

[@hammackj]

Each character is 1 account. Pretty sure I did 6 boxing so for this video series and that's 6 accounts. You can box with 3 + 3 mercs, I am doing that at the moment in the Towani Series and in the Sons of Thule series. 6 can be a pain to manage at times.

[@steveh.690]

@@hammackj that's what I have 3 accounts can just use in macors to do the same thing as kissassist?

[@bradleycondon6398]

Haha i just started a group 3 weeks ago on FV. Wish i had this then..

[@hammackj]

ah man, so close =\

[@bheathrow]

so that's why you can't use the initials for multi quest on the EQ forums...

[@hammackj]

yup.

[@novyxl9672]

I was going to try something similar with a 3 box set I tried going live and was wicked lost with the new stuff. Going to box Monk/Shaman/Ranger.

[@hammackj]

Best bet is to take it slow, those 3 should be fine, not having a tank might hurt but you should be able to use a merc tank until around 80 or so. My monk has been able to solo everything just fine until around 80 the merc healer started to be really weak. The extra dps from the RNG/SHM should be enough to push, just might need to run 2 healer merc at times.

[@novyxl9672]

@@hammackj maybe swap out monk for a proper tank?

[@hammackj]

A Paladin would synergize well with SHM/RNG, SK/WAR also. You would able to clear most things in that trio + mercs. A real tank really sines 100+

[@novyxl9672]

@@hammackj one last thing even though I have a million questions, what is the difference between the caster and mele dps merc or is it just preference?

[@hammackj]

Preference and depending on your group right. If you have an enchanter their ADPS will buff casters and a shaman will buff melee via their ADPS. TANK/SHM/RNG id do 2-3 rogue mercs and optionally 1 healer merc. Until you need the extra healing, shaman can solo heal all group content with gear so your mileage might vary.

[@novyxl9672]

I stopped at PoP what is Gribbles?

[@hammackj]

Gribbles is a set of Heroic Missions from Call of the Forsaken, that give large amounts of exp that you can start doing at 75 to 105.
