Miscellaneous: Myconid Spore King Loot Table is not what it was during Kunark.

If it is more proof you want I will get it for you. No matter what question is being debated there will always be people on both sides. A majority of people said the Tunic was common. I know it was for sure because like Origin, I camped it a lot.

Initially the robe came out with the stats it is on our server. Which item you think is better the tunic or the robe? That is why Tunic is more common. When they nerfed the robe they didn't change the rarity and according to the posts on Alla and Monkly it was early Feb 2002.

I will search safe house, afterlife and FoH boards when I have time. If you will consider other dev's thoughts check with them. I am sure at least some of them will remember this. The drop going rare was huge news on all servers at that time.

While there is no date listed it shows Tunic as being common:

note: I am sure thesafehouse.org used to display it properly but you can see the names of the column headings on the first line and the search for fungus covered and you will see that it would be under the common heading. Article dated Dec 1 2000

if this proof still isn't sufficient please let me know what you are looking for. I don't believe Sony ever said anything officially about it and their new forums started in 2004. [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

Try using the wayback machine to find snapshots in the 2000ish era of those same pages. That should be able to serve as proof if those sites existed then.

[Asher]

Apparently thesafehouse.org has robots.txt configured to not be archived.

All the pages I linked are alive and functional and state that the Tunic was the common. My original post was people discussing it which I understand if the GMs don't accept that. That is why I posted both monkly-business and allakhazam websites even though there was a couple posts saying otherwise.

thesafehouse.org should be a reliable source I would think. I am just waiting to hear back from devs if this is sufficient or what other kind of proof they want.

Bump for great justice.

I can confirm that this was the case. And it's understandable that by default, the tunic was made the uncommon drop on project1999, because it was changed to being uncommon sometime later in or after Kunark, so that's what most people remember. Unfortunately, I am sure the GMs will look at threads like this as attempts to make it easier to obtain such a great item.

I also remember that the myconid spore king was pretty rarely even seen to spawn. Every time I camped it, we would see him once, maybe twice in an 8 hour time frame. This still made the tunics rare enough to make them valuable, while they were still the common drop.


Keep finding evidence people, or it's not going to be changed.

Common drop: Fungus covered scale tunic 21ac 2str 2int -10dex -10agi 2.0weight all but pure casters can wear.

Rare drop: Fungus covered robe 14ac 15sta 4wis 10svfire? somethin like 0.4weight or somethin... monk cleric and druid usable.

Ultra rare drop: Fungus covered great staff 18dmg 35 dly 8wis 8int -10cha 5svdisease 5svfire 1.1weight eff: fungal regrowth 2hb Shaman / Druid ONLY.

Because it takes a group of 55+ and 58 or so + melee. King is not always camped either, and doesnt spawn to often. Though the fungi tunic is his common drop

We killed King 4 times: 3 Tunics, 1 Robe.

Dropped a fungus covered scale tunic every other time I've been there when he was killed though.

This is the earliest alla bestiary page for spore king that I could find. The robe is only mentioned twice on the entire page, once as a rare drop and another with someone complaining they got it. Compared to many many references to the tunic.
