Beating a dead horse...VT

yea i know what your thinking....omg this fag wants to talk about VT.

ok so i do, but my bro and i are now entrenched in the shit, and im new to the boards and i kinda wanna hear your thoughts.

personally, i think VT is some of the most fuckin retarded crap. from what i can tell its a jump through hoops for loot.

lore is something that interests me and well VT lore is kinda impossible to find. thus making the zone so lifeless i end up abusing autofollow becasue i fall sound asleep in my chair after seeing another goofy thing wiht 4 arms die that i cant tell if its a chick or a dude.....

anyway....your insight please....i dont mean to be a pain in the ass bringing up VT, i dont even know if i am or not...so just tell me now...im new...thanks

I hear there's lots of lore in Plane of Time! Send Thott cross server tells for details...

But seriously, coherent EQ lore went out the window after the massive fuck up that was the Sleeper Script.

I think if you were to look up the definition of EverQuest in the dictonary, that would be it.. so your bitching because?

The entire game is based around jumping though loops for loot.

There's almost zero lore in luclin, period.

If you are just getting into VT then you should just skip the entire shitty zone and start working on elemental access.

You will be farming elemental armor sooner or later anyways, why get VT gear which will be replaced soon anyways.

You really dont need VT stuff to get into the elemental planes, every god including Rallos is a gimp pushover. Emp/Cursed/Seru loot is more then enough to get you by. In the time it would take you to outfit your guild in VT stuff if you go straight to elemental planes you can have your entire guild outfitted in elemental non-bp/legging in no time.

You would hafta pay me to go back to Vex Thal, the zone was so crappy and boring the first time I went I quit the game for 3 months after the first clearing.

well

imo you CAN skip vt but

vengence items, 41%haste items

flowing thought
focus items

etc

vt is more to help your casters out than your melee

sure there are alot of melee items but its more for your int and wis casters


and you can get ALOT of loot in a short amount of time.

my guild has been in VT - we are going on our 3rd week.

We have gotten 80 drops from VT.-all of them either minor or major upgrades to the people there - and we have done the route to aten once(asian guilds got her the other few times).

Yeah, the first thing I think of people is that they're fags.

lore is something that interests me and well VT lore is kinda impossible to find. thus making the zone so lifeless i end up abusing autofollow becasue i fall sound asleep in my chair after seeing another goofy thing wiht 4 arms die that i cant tell if its a chick or a dude.....

Check The Safehouse for Luclin lore. Some masochists even went to the point of deciphering the Akhevian language. I think most of the lore comes out during the key quest though and there isn't much else.

thanks for you posts folks, just received the new target list for the month and even though VT is high up on the list, planes mobs are in their, (which i think are way more fun)


ya EQ is a jump through hoops for loot but there are some fun mobs and scripts....just VT sucks balls.

Might wanna stay in VT if you got like 6 or 7 guilds in EPs on your server, since everything will be permakilled. Plus VT isn't that bad compared to what you will be doing in the EP. EP nameds aren't push overs either, some of them are harder than tier 1 - 3 gods.

We are a RZ kill away from elemental planes, it will be interesting to see how that fight goes with no VT loots and minimal Ssra loots.

I forget where I got this.. so dont know who to give credit too:

Quote:
Rather interesting for those spending a lot of time in Akheva, ME and VT:

Consolidating some info on the language for easy access.
******
Single word translations:
******
Akuel = Gift
Ans = The
Diabo = Master
Dyek - Earth
Dyn = Rock / Stone
Fiel = Light
Ishinaear = Luclin (Goddess)
Itraer = "Greater"?
Kaas - Black
Kel = A
Tavuel = Tortured
Temariel = Knowledge
Tetoracu = Twilight
Tekar = Mortal Death (Compared to the immortal death that the Akhevans experience.)
Thall = Sacred
Thox - Blood
Tian = Day
Va = Dark / Shadow
Vereor = Terror
Vex = Heart
Vius = Darkness
Wito = Eye
Xakra = Spirit
Xakreum = Spirits
Xauninae = Luclin (Moon)
Xi = Of
Xin - shadows
Xiall = Justice
Xundrau = Weapon
Xundraux = Weapons
******
Samples:
******
Temariel Vex = Heart of Knowledge
Vex Xi Vius = The Heart of Darkness
Akuel xi ans Vius = Gift Of The Dark
Ans Xundrau xi Tekar = The Weapon Of Mortal Death
Kel Xundrau xi Tekar = A weapon Of Mortal Death
Kel Xundrau xi Xauninae = A Weapon Of Luclin
Wito Xi Tetoracu = Eye Of Twilight
Collar of Tavuel Xakreum = Collar of Tortured Spirits
Vereor Mask = Mask of Terror
Itraer Insignia = Symbol Of The Shadow
Ishinaear Xiall = Luclin's Justice
Ans Fiel`Tian = The Light Of Day

*******
Mob Info:
*******
Qua - minor (lvl 55)
Zov - lesser (lvl 5
Zun - major (lvl 61)
Pli - greater (lvl 63)
Eom - arch (lvl 65)

Thall - cleric/priest/sacred
Liako - knight/paladin
Va Liako - shadowknight
Centien - warrior/servant
Senshali - rogue
Zethon - wizard

and a few more:
ok guys, these are my supposings:

Vex= heart(obviously)
Thall=pure and thal=pure, one referring to places, one to people

so vex thal= pure of heart

also

teka= death
tekar= mortality
Xi and Xin are male/female possessives as in spanish
xakra=spirit
xakreum=spirits

In pertaining to dark/darkness/black, etc.

Vius=lord
Va=Shadow
Kaas=life
Itraer=darkness

Itraer vius=lord of darkness
Va xakra= pure shadow
Kaas thox xi aten ha ra= life-blood of aten ha ra
Kaas thox xi ans dyen= life blood of the earth

And finally the grammar, and a comprehensive list including all the still untranslated words:
Thus, when translating, we have to use an EXACT method. Can't have Xiall and Xiallsa both mean "justice". Can't have "va" mean both "shadow" and "shadows", when for other words (xundrau = weapon, xundraux = weapons) the plural is formed by adding letters at the end. Can't insert "of" "the" "for", etc, to "help out" the translation. Pairs like tavu, tavuel, and temar, temariel could be noun-verb pairs, but the -el rule must be applied everywhere the same.

The apostrophe used now and then links words. It's not a hiccup or a text bug. I think Fiel'Tian means daylight or day's light, and Tian xi Fiel means light of day, thus I believe fiel is day and tian is light, not the opposite.

Anyway, draw your own conclusions from the similarities between words.
Here are all the words mentioned on this thread, in alphabetical order:

akuel gift
ane
anir
ans the
aten
atet
attaumis
atulus
aus
