Im gonna start working on my rogue's epic as soon as I get pick pocket to 200(dont have it on evade hot key, just doesnt seem right to scam the rest of the group out of cash) and so I have a question.

Has anyone here gotten the Book of Souls solo?
I was thinking about doing that, grabbing a wiz and mag and druid to.
Hav wiz port just me to PoH(mag stays off in distance). Have a druid pick up the mag and port him/her to ferrot and zone into CT. IF I get the book(or get aggro), I insta gate CT potion and have mag coth me.

Dont know if that would work tho, just ideas hehe.

Any suggestions?

Yes, that whole 2sp you pick off will make such the difference.

Heaven forbid, you know, TELL YOUR GROUP YOU TOOK ONE, then LOTTO!

There really is no reason to not pickpocket.

Well, pickpocket doesn't just net you silver

With my old rogue the enemy frequently would drop like 6cp after the fight due to my pickpocketing

ust be honest and split it back if you are that concerned about it

/autoattack off
/hide
/backstab
/pickpocket
/autoattack on

Fire and forget

Plus it's really fun for when some cheapass level 51 druid is KS'ing the orc camp for belts, to sit around and pickpocket the DF belts off the orcs as they spawn

Or, once you are high enough that your groups ML, just ask to be the ML so that everything you pick pocket, you would have looted anyway, then shared with the group at the end.
I was in the Virgin Islands once. I met a girl, we ate lobster, drank piña coladas. At sunset, we made love like sea otters. That was a pretty good day. Why couldn't I get that day over, and over?

And about the book of souls, yes it's been done. My friend corpsed all his stuff in case he died up there, then got ported. I can't help you beyond that, I have no idea what he did.

Make THAT hotkey, not Vorago's original one. You want hide to be last so you can wipe aggro AFTER you backstab and pickpocket. If you put hide on first, all it would do is wipe aggro, BACKSTAB (turning the attention to you, and pickpocket just to create more aggro

The purpose is, if the enemy is facing you, you hide first, reducing aggro and turning his back a split second before you backstab

It allows for backstabs even if the enemy is currently on you a fair bit of the time

When you are close to a mob, and he has you on aggro, hide acts as evade

Hide doesn't clear aggro, but Evade does.

And in some lameass decision at VI they decided to make Evade be when you use Hide in combat instead of a seperate skill.

You select the mob
You turn off autoattack
You press Hide
You reduce aggro

It's amazing how many rogues don't know about that... I've seen sooo many that give me blank online stares when I mention evade

Getting a book of souls solo is the most fun I ever had in EverQuest. I was bored one night and had my friend's account info, and he had just started working on his epic.

Especially since the hosue was swarming with liches that spawn.

You smell that? Do you smell that? ...Napalm, son. Nothing else in the world smells like that. I love the smell of napalm in the morning. You know, one time we had a hill bombed for twelve hours. When it was all over I walked up. We didn't find one of 'em, not one stinkin' dink body. The smell, you know that gasoline smell, the whole hill. Smelled like... victory.

I believe there's an easier, more realistic way to feel that thrill without leveling a rogue to L46.

It's called Thief II.
