Overview Instructions F.A.Q. Updates (84) Reviews (78) History Terms and conditions
Caveats (known issues)
  • Plugin is not available for EMU (Live and Test only)
  • EQ and MQ2 say mob is LOS, but isn't, tried to avoid this by locations
  • /multiline issue with /rgstart in MQ2Grind.ini (work around is to replace /rgstart with /macro rgmercs\RGMERC.mac)
  • EQ BUG where when exiting instance group members end up in separate zones, added brute force re-add to mission routine
  • Timing issue where group member may get red text about instance not available yet (proper fix coming soon)
FAQ
  • Are there specific meshes I should use?
  • Grind thinks I'm in combat, but I'm not! Why is this happening?
    • This is either due to you being debuffed or you have the EQ PlayerWnd hidden.
  • My group doesn't stop to med, why?
  • When I start MQ2Grind my chat windows disappear!
    • This happens when your chat window, or other windows are not in a "Locked" state (EQ UI setting)
  • What does 'real hard' mean in the list of Grinds? (/grind list)
    • Simply that your standard group content geared toons may struggle with a single healer. If your tank is raid geared you'll probably be good with a single healer. For 'real hard' I take both a SHM and a CLR with me.
  • What kind of group do I need to use this?
    • I would recommend: a tank, healer, crowd control, and DPS.
    • During months of testing, I've used lots of combinations:
      • WAR, SHM, BST, BRD, BER, BER
      • WAR, CLR, BST, BRD, BER, BER
      • WAR, SHM, CLR, ENC, BER, BER
      • WAR, ENC, CLR, BER, BER, power level toon (naked/did nothing)
        • All of the above, I've traded out WAR for SK (auto grant level) as well. When dragging a PLee through, they can die.
  • What does MQ2Grind work with?
    • It's been tested for months by using CWTN Class based plugins (MQ2War, MQ2EsKay), KissAssist (11 and 12), and RGMercs, and Entropy
  • I started grind but don't move anywhere once inside? (ex. Goblins and Fools)
    • Make sure you have the updated mesh MQMesh.com
    • For MQ "next" meshs go in your Resources->MQ2Nav folder
  • Does MQ2Grind automatically recover from deaths?
    • No, this is up to Class Plugins and or Macros you chose to run your group with
    • Wipes happen just as if you were playing without the plugin, it is recommended to monitor your success (and failures)
  • My group member didn't zone out via Fellowship because they are not in the same one
    • The plugin, assumes that your group is in the same Fellowship for zone out
  • It doesn't work on EMU server
    • Correct as EMU doesn't have ToV expansion
  • Can I change how to pull mobs
    • Absolutely! You can get real clever in the INI file, I've included some examples. You can also include ${If[..],..,.} if you wanted. The plugin will perform what ever you put in the configuration. Share what you come up with, I'm sure others will benefit.
  • Can I message you in Discord?
    • Yes, by all means. Please understand that I also like playing the game, have a day job, and a family. I'll do my very best to get back to you as soon as possible. (Discord: hytiek#2341 or Red Guides #general_chat channel)
It is recommended to configure your MQ2Nav with the following settings:
  • Settings
    • Automatically click nearby doors (ENABLED)
      • Ignore scripted doors (ENABLED)
