Default HUGE LEVELING EXPLOIT!

Currently this server has a HUGE leveling exploit several of its' well-known people here (on the forums) have abused to level up. The mob is located in Misty Thicket. The name of the spawn is Slaythe.

He is used in a quest called Avenger Battle Axe.

"Bronin Higginsbot is sometimes found in Rivervale and sometimes near the southern tower in Misty Thicket. When you ask Bronin about the Emerald shard, he says he will give it to you if you do a small favor. Apparently a bounty hunter by the name of Slaythe is after him. He says if you return a piece of his body, he will give you the emerald. Slaythe is beyond the wall in Misty Thicket. He appears to be a Froglok (around level 21 or so)! He hops around between the Orc camp and the wall. You may have to talk to Bronin to get him to spawn. If you defeat him, you get a froglok leg (lore item), a few gold, and the following faction adjustments: Frogloks of Kurnak gets worse and Sarnak, Swamp Giants of Kurnak and Iskar get better...."

Apparently there are people abusing this quest and spawning Slaythe instantly (see above for the portion of the quest where you are to slay him to advance the quest). I personally know people who have gained 6 levels (15-21) in just one night from exploiting him.

Here is a rather small list of players I know for a fact who have abused Slaythe:
  • Masterkova (Lovely)
  • Darwoth
  • Salty

What bothers me the most is these players chose not to report this exploit, instead they chose to abuse it. This server is suppose to remain as close to classic as possible. I'm pretty sure classic had no instant spawning mobs to experience on...the main thing is the above players and anyone else who has abused this leveling exploit chose to take advantage of it, hurting our server and making it unfair to the rest of population who is leveling the right way.

wondering myself why noone of the server staff is doing anything

quality of the server going down rapidly
^this


Should get this addressed + guard assist in.

I love the server so far don't get me wrong, but I hope the P1999 quality/rep stays intact here. Staff neglect is like a cancer that spreads very rapidly and the playerbase will lose confidence quickly if they feel like nobody is listening (examples: the last VZTZ, my VZTZ, etc)

I'd also say to not softball ban the people who were abusing this.

Kick them off the fucking server, permanently. Delete their shit + IP ban it.


This is a situation where anyone doing this knew that they were exploiting. No playing dumb.

Sounds like this quest shouldn't even be in.
