Zones
How do I get to Stillmoon?
- Target the Tier 2 raid teleporter and /say stillmoon.
Bazaar
Where are all of the bazaar traders and why won't my /bazaar tool find them?
- They have congregated in the Red, Diamond area (see in-game map). Be sure to 'click' on the yellow teleporter to go up.
Client Problems
Why can't I zone in to ToFrozenShadow/PoStorms/Highpass Hold?
- You have a newer client such as Underfoot, and you're missing the actual zone files. Simply copy the files (should be about 8 in the root EQ folder) from a Titanium or any other EQ install that does have them. File sharing on the forums is strictly prohibited.
Why won't my hp/mana reach full in the UI?
- You have a SoD or newer client, which uses different HP/Mana calculations than the server. This is merely cosmetic and has no bearing on gameplay. The differences are dramatic at lower levels, but become negligible when you gear up at 70. There is no fix for this. Use /say #mystats for your precise stats.
