EQ2 Languages

Archived from groups: alt.games.everquest (More info?)

I've noticed that some npc's speak in a language that I don't understand.

I can't seem to find something that shows what languages that I know, nor
how to raise skills in another language.

How do I learn new languages?

Thanks,

There are books sold by various vendors in the newbie zones that the
various races start in. I have not purchased any of them myself as of yet,
but I am told that is how you learn other languages. For the nonplayer
races, there are quests to learn about the races, but, again, I have not
seriously looked into any of them yet.

One quest is worth it. Dwarf in Greystone Tavern(Inn?) gives nice pare
of boots.

I got the Gnoll language quest, which involves finding some kind of
rune. Unfortunately there are now, I think, no gnolls that will drop
the items I need (they come in chests, not like other quest drops,
from what I understand) that aren't grey, so I guess I'll never
actually learn gnollish, unless I buy them. I thought things needed
for quests wouldn't be affected by the trivial loot code, but
apparently that was too much to hope for. Maybe they'll change it.
