What is BASE jumping?
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Base_jumping

Now that we've gotten that out of the way, there are a few points to BASE jumping in EQ that you must remember.

1) There are no parachutes in EQ. So safety is more of an issue. Always jump reasonably safely.
2) Always jump from the highest or more likely place to get an adrenalin rush that you can. Remember the object is to survive the jump!
3) Respect your fellow jumpers, and especially try to be civil to those who don't understand what you're doing.
4) Try not to fall on others.

There are so many great places to jump I could never show all of them in this post, so I will only show a few places and some variety of styles so that you can get a feel for the sport.

First, we have a Span. This is a great place because there are ^^^ orange and red mobs in the water below me here. This only adds to the rush! *IF* I survive the fall (some water is too shallow and you hit bottom before the water slows you down. If this happens you could face serious injury or even death.)

It's better not to check in advance if the water is deep enough, just do it.


Be sure to land in the center of the pool. (If that is what your jumping in.)


A good place to jump would be CL. It's a good practice area.
Once you get ot the tree with the orcs around it, head about 40 steps up and jump off the ledge. You can steer yourself away from the rocks but it takes pracitce to get it right.(and maybe some money to reapair armor.)


ADVICE: If you are a noob that is below lvl 14, *IF* you survive the jump, RUN because there are some MEAN monsters down there.

Funny, that looks MIGHTY similar to the thread at EQ2players found right here: http://eqiiforums.station.sony.com/eq2/ ... ge.id=6018
