Home sweet home at last... ROFL


I made my final move this morning. YAY!!!

My new residence is in North Qeynos (up the stairs first door on your left) for those of you that want to take a look when you're in the area. If you guys are curious because you plan on moving there I have status upkeep down to 269 with what I have in there. I have 4 pieces of bone furniture in there that totals around 200 status reduction the rest is what I have made and accumulated along the way (yes, I have put stuff in there from alts too)...

If you stop in let me know what you think of the place as I need to get it "pretty" before Murt moves in and don't be surprised if Dinner is on the table when you arrive

oh wow, your list is ALOT better than mine is and seems to be more accurate too... Thanks for the information it saves alot of time trying to figure out what gives status and what doesn't.. You're the best

I can't c;aim credit for the list. It comes from EQ2Traders. They have tons of good info.

For Instance, here's another lil nugget from the EQ2 Traders You Are What You Eat - Guide to Food/Drink in EQ2 Article.


Strength: Meats as jerky, sandwich, or grilled.
Agility: Fish as jerky, sandwich, grilled, baked or breaded
Stamina: Pastas and casseroles of either meat or fish
Intelligence: Dried or candied fruits
Wisdom:: Candied nuts and vegetables
Intelligence and Wisdom: Trail mix
Max power: Sweets such as chocolate, fudge, pie, cake, muffins and cookies
Max health: Soups, Omelettes and Stews

Yeah, but you found the list and you deserve the credit for that.. I have searched those forums and have yet to find anything that may even be useful or even close to being accurate.. lol

Thanks Paddy the info printed is much appreciated. See you soon.

I am posting this here instead of starting a new thread since the topic goes along with this...


I wanted to add to this since I have received my first order for furniture to a new occupant of a 2 roomed apartment...
Being a level 36.75 carpenter my furniture takes off like 36 status per piece I make.. I recently placed 7 briarwood chairs, an ash dining room table, a bench, and a warped bone bed to an apartment and it took off roughly 200 status altogether. The key to upgrading and having 0 status is having pets as well as having a few pieces of rare furniture.
I was browsing the broker to check the status reduction of the newly acquired recipes to carpenters and although it takes alot of fuel to make them they take off a decent amount of status although they aren't rare (roughly 100 status for the 30+ leveled ones).
If you plan on relocating it would be beneficial to start getting furniture before the move and having a couple rare pieces too..
I hope this helps
