Recently, I have had some very bad luck with invis and crossing zones.
Specifically - I have invis up and zone or get gated. As soon as I get
control over my char - I get the "you become" visible msg. Everytime. This
is NOT good when you are gating into CT and are mere lev 26/27. Also NOT
good when you gate out of CT and Hurd is parked on the other side.
Geez Hurd I wish you would get it through your thick skull: there IS a place
in the realm for half elves - damn it! Stop saying there isn't!!!
So, back to your question, would it work? Prolly. Would it be worth it?
Not to me. (brag time) I am now doing most of my serious fighting in my
regular group! (damn I love the sound of those words) And we have a cleric!
Woo Hoo! Life rocks now that he is over level 29!!!
I try to stay binded at the bank in High Keep. If (or shud I say when) I
die, I have lots of friends to talk to while I mem my spells and my party
does CR. Just about the time I am done memming, they call me and say
"consent me" so they can drag my corpse to a safe loot spot. And then that
magic box: "do you want to be revived? yes or no?" Ohh that is soo nice!!!
So this binding business is fast becoming a distant nightmare. I guess you
pay some dues for 29 levels but then there are some nice perks in store for
those who have dome the smart thing: built a well balanced, regular group.

Subject: [eqbards] Bard workaround to binding in evil
cities- will this work?
From: "Reece, Tom - 25IDL G4"

Had an idea I wanted to run by you guys. If it will work,
its a possible
way for bards to get bound in evil cities and safely return
to their corpse
if they die.
Step 1: Bard has two flutes in his inventory. One is in a
container and
another in a main inventory slot.
Step 2: Bard groups with someone who can bind and gets bound
in an evil city
right next to the zone border.
Step 3: The bard and the person who bound him go into the
next zone, i.e.
Innothule Swamp, Feerot, and duel right next to the zone
border to the evil
city. Bard lets the other person kill him in the duel.
Step 4: Bard reappears in evil city, goes to the zone where
he is killed,
and loots everything from his corpse except the flute in the
main inventory.
Bard sings invis song, using flute that was in a container,
to get past
guards and goes adventuring.
Step 5: If bard dies while adventuring, he can then loot his
corpse to get
the second flute, sing invis song, and safely get back to
his corpse.
Step 6: Rinse and repeat Steps 1-3 to get another corpse
with spare flute.
I have never dueled anyone so am not certain how it works.
I assume you
appear at your bind point when you get killed in a duel. I
also assume your
corpse remains in place (duration based on your level) as
long as there is
equipment still on it. This procedure also assumes that the
bard doesn't
get attacked and killed in the evil city while he is waiting
to appear (i.e.
during LOADING, PLEASE WAIT).
