Myconid Spore King Loot Table is not what it was during Kunark.
His loot table rarity should look like this:
common: Fungus Scale Covered Tunic uncommon: Robe of Living Fungus Rare: Fungus Covered Great Staff I hunted through patch notes and unfortunately there was no mention of it there but I did find many mentions of it from people on monkly-business.com and Allakhazam.com http://replay.waybackmachine.org/200...=6360&start=50 ------------ RE: Pricey By: Anonymous Posted @ Tue, May 22nd 5:03 PM 2001 Score: Default[2.00] This is the common drop...but the King is very rare, and the camp is VERY hard to hold ------------- King Tactics By: TheloniusMonk, 44 posts Posted @ Thu, Apr 12th 10:44 PM 2001 Score: Excellent[4.80] First off getting here is a pain. You can bypass the teleport room out tho. Get into the Shroom area and move down the hallway to the right. You may or may not have to fight 1-3 roamers. King and 2 others are on a platform. King spawns in middle. You can set up opposite from the watery / open area against the wall. Be forewarned that sometimes MOB's will get healed thru the wall, so it is a careful balancing act to avoid fighting to close to roamers or in the wall. * IF * the King is pulled you must get on him. Do NOT attempt to mez him. Perhaps a 60 Shaman or Enchanter could stop / slow him, we didn't have the luxury. We had following party: 57 Enchanter 58/59 Bard 56 Paladin (Our tank) 55 Cleric 56 Mage 55 Monk (Yours truly) Critical that the 55's con everything. Enchanter needed to know because of spell choice. The Fungal is great for reducing downtime and combined with group / ind Chloro/Regrowth provides nice regen. We killed King 4 times: 3 Tunics, 1 Robe. Thelonius Monk ------------ And there are a ton of other people saying the drop is common on the page 3. http://everquest.allakhazam.com/db/i...em=2036&page=3 ------- Post Message since nerf..

Anyone contradict this rumor? Zeb's prices are at a firm 35k. Saw one or two for 40k on auctions. Mostly there are 100 people WTB fungi. ---------- Link to this post reduced Posted: 2002-02-19 14:30:49 | Quote | Reply to Post | Follow Friar crisiscbd 50 posts Score: Decent The drop rate of this has been reduced in a patch not too long ago. Prices going back up to around 40k on Povar ---------------------------- Crisis More people confirming common drop rate: http://www.monkly-business.net/forum...fungus+covered Post #15 has someone saying drop has been nerfed to rare. Dated Feb 7 2002. This time frame is similar to what peopled mentioned on allakhazam.com ----------------------- I don't know what else can be provided as proof but I am sure at least one of the Devs would know this if they had played around that time period. Fungi Tunic becoming rarer was common knowledge to people at that time. Asher | ||

Yep. I recall it being: Tunic < Robe < Staff.

bump, seems like a decent aspect of classic that could be replicated.

Conflicting reports on different servers here between the Robe and Fungi being the common drop:

After going to the sites linked to, it looks to me like the reports of the tunic being more common were cherry picked from a debate over the rarity.

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. Asher | ||
