How needed is catacombs for my bot account ?

[reggie]

hi,

Im gonna reactivate my ranger and bot account. However i wonder do i need my bot with me in catacombs or ? i have no idea what catacombs looks like.is it just instances and also are they just solo instances. Another thing i worry about are there big zones and towns my bot needs to be at ?

I'll eventually also make a catacombs char. Prob on the classic server though once it arrives.


Also, how's life for a ranger now on excaliber ? Mine's rr7 and i've been gone to wow when it launched, then to eq2. Is there any special things i should worry about, new classes etc ?

Thanx,

Reggie

My bot doesnt have catacombs and I been trying to redo temp in downtime. Infact I dont have any Cata item in my temp, and Ive not been catacombs on my main account yet on EU... just USA

Infact, why did I even buy it!!

TOA items > the Majoirty of cata ones

well true, i prob wont need anything on my ranger in catacombs but i meant mostly for when i make a new char on the classic server and lvl in catacombs prob.

maybe i should add but my bot is only there for buffs. i dont even buy him eq etc and he dies in an instant if shot at at keep defense etc. I have no intention of equipping him, getting him ra's etc bla bla. Just need him for buff.

You dont need it at all, just if you're planning to farm in catas with it, otherwise it would just be extra money...

 

[reggie]

alright thanx. guess i can always buy a 2nd copy later then.

well at first i thought the same and didnt buy cata for bot acc, but now have it and its kinda usefull.

second reason is that i fully toad my bot and now hes my active rvr druid allso

catacombs is handy for bot accounts because say your playing midgard you can roll yourself a warlock heal bot that can powerless spread heal (no need for a font of power) i did for my valkyrie and was hapily tanking umbral broods at around 45ish (admitingly it did take about 10 mins) but still the powerless option that warlocks get is very nice when linked to a spread heal.

Catacombs is a good expansion for speeding things up i know that both my accounts are catacombs activated and its handy although i still run a toa install just incase i have to load up someone elses bot or somthing and they dont have cats installed.

I would see how much you spend in cats if you dont spend any time there then there isnt any reason to load up cats on your bot

Dont think there is much need for catacombs on a BB acount, personally I have only used catacombs for quick tasking/questing for exp at level 40x+ and dont really need a buffbot when doing quests and tasks

yeah i didnt buy it for my bot. I dont even know yet when ill make my 2nd char. Prob for classic server. Besides my ranger i dont play any other char anyway right now coz i gotta get the hang of rvr again. Its not easy !

Thanx guys.
