== Blocking spells, AAs, and buffs == * The January 20, 2016 patch raised the limit on how many buffs players and pets can block from 30 to 40. There are two standard ways to block buffs. First, if the buff is in your buff window (regular or song), you can right click it and choose to block it. Secondly, especially if the buff is not in your window (or if it is a spell that does not buff) you can click the EQ button on your screen, go to Character > Blocked Buffs and Add by Name. It is not necessary to put the rank of the spell when you Add by Name. If you block a buff on one rank, all ranks of the spell are blocked. You can block buffs for both you, and your pet (Character > Blocked Pet Buffs). Note that you can block spells and AAs, not just buffs. A good example would be for an enchanter to block paladin splash spells on their pet, so as to prevent splash from breaking charm on charmed pets. Entering "Splash of Sanctification" (or whatever current name of the splash spell is) into the Add by Name should prevent it from landing on your pet. The level 118 Splash of Repentance may be blocked by entering ''/blockspell add pet 62390''. This should work just fine. However, below are some alternate ways to block buffs. === Getting spell ID === The first step is to get the ID of the spell. Go to [http://lucy.allakhazam.com Lucy at Allakhazam.com], search for the spell. As an example, we will use Voice of Clairvoyance. You will see something like this: [[File:Lucy voc.png|500px]] Click on the Raw Data link (red oval in screenshot above). You should see this: [[File:Lucy voc 2.png|500px]] Go down the page to [[File:Lucy voc 3.png|500px]] See the ID that I've circled in red? That's the number you need. The spell ID is 5522. '''Common spell IDs''' 2538 = Mass rod 2198 = Mass bread 2199 = Mass water 21684 = Druid AA Group Spirit of the Great Wolf === /blockspell === The easiest way is to use the /blockspell command in the in-game chat window. Usage: <code>/blockspell <action> <target> <spellnumber></code> Valid <action>: display, add, remove, clear Valid <target>: me pet Valid <spellnumber>: list of spell ID numbers separated by spaces Example: /blockspell add me 1693 2517 Example: /blockspell display pet === Edit .ini file === It is possible to block spells that don't have buff icons via your .ini file. Make sure you are logged out completely before doing this. Open up your EQ folder and find a file named ''charactername_server.ini'' (with your character's name and your server's name in place of "charactername" and "server" respectively). Note that if your Windows operating system is set to hide file extensions (it is by default), then you won't see the .ini at the end of the file name. Double click on the file to open it. Look in the opened file for something like: <code>[BlockedSpells] BlockedSpellID0=-1 BlockedSpellID1=-1 BlockedSpellID2=-1 BlockedSpellID3=-1 BlockedSpellID4=-1 BlockedSpellID5=-1 BlockedSpellID6=-1 BlockedSpellID7=-1 BlockedSpellID8=-1 BlockedSpellID9=-1 BlockedSpellID10=-1</code> You just replace -1 with the ID, example: <code>BlockedSpellID0=5522</code> This would put Voice of Clairvoyance into your blocked buff list. If you wish to take it off, just find the ID of the spell you want to remove and put it back to -1 and the spell will be removed. If none of the BlockedSpellID listed have -1 as the ID, you can just add a line with <code>BlockedSpellID<nextnumberinline>=xxxx</code>
