Move is a no-go...

After you build a siege weapon, you have to release control first (bug?)... /control release ... then right after that, you need to do a /control again to get the 'control window'...

The rest is pretty self-explained... You have to go through the whole list of, aim, load, arm, etc...

Aiming on the ground with a trebuchet/catepult/etc can be done by holding the F5 button and using your arrow keys...

Dont forget that you have to repair your siege weapon every so often... But can only repair it an x number of times... And you need 400 or 500 in woodcraft to do this too... and I think (thinking here) it doesnt cost wood to repair them...

Now the bigger question in life, why am I explaining this to a hib?

This page is fairly concise and easy to understand.

The official guide is here. http://support.darkageofcamelot.com/guides/siegecraft/ It is vitally important not to read that one, it is completely out of date and full of mistakes.

Possibly the most comprehensive siege engine site: http://daoc.djswifty.com

Also, Siegecrafting for Dummies: http://www.galia.org/hoodednomads/DAoC/tradeskills/siegecraft.htm

This goes for anything remotely connected to Mythic containing words such as "Guide" or "FAQ".

Careful - the information on daoctradeskills.com is a little out of date They have not updated the wood requirements to build the siege engines, for example (a ram used to need 600 boards, but it was reduced to 300 boards in the last patch).

Yeh but the forums are prety much up to date. The people who maintain the trade skill web page also do one for EQ so it may take a while for them to get round and update it.
