Starting items

[John Adams]

When did they do away with the Book of Discord, or whatever it was called? Come to think of it, I haven't seen that on a new toon in a while (always used to destroy them). How does a noob follow the ways of Discord these days?

And Angelox, I believe you are right for casters. I remember a recent mage having a basic level 1 shield and some fire spell. The rest I had to buy.

tome of order and discord is handed out by the priest of discord

when you ask him about the [tome of order and discord] he gives you one and explains it... handing it back will make u pvp

and yes you are correct about the spells. i believe the caster classes each start out with a level 1 spell... additionally they also have a spell scribed in their spellbook usually... but i dont know if there is a way to implement that using the `start_items` table or not

edit:

i also made another post after taking the time to make a list of all the races/classes etc for the starting items table: http://www.eqemulator.net/forums/showthread.php?t=22079

might help you with the modifications

Using the PEQ Luclin DB from this wiki (and I haven't edited the starting items yet) all my toons get the Tome of Order and Discord. This is a bit of a hassle as I remember casters starting with two basic spells (usually one shielding spell and a heal/damage based on class). In this version all toons start with a lantern, weapon, milk, bread, bandages, note, tome, and a no trade backpack. I'll have to do some updating....after I get Nexus and Bazaar fixed. Oh well.
