Aquagoblin loot nerfed here?

[UrsusMajor]

I distinctly remember back in like 2001, Aquagoblin loot being worth much more than it is on P99/R99 and it wasn't nerfed on live until around PoP.

I remember this because I rolled an Iksar necro on a new European server (because it was new). Our guild camped the Aquagoblins for like ever and I remember making like 300-400p in 2-3 levels of xping there.

Aquagoblin heads and Mugs were sold for like 3p.

I can't check this at work since I can't get to ZAM atm but I will when I get home.

ZAM says 4s and 7g for the head and stein.

However, you are right. The high prices existed until 2003.

Under the head, ZAM pricing is not showing the update history (as far as I can see, maybe a subscriber can tell, I haven't subscribed in a LONG time to ZAM)...if you look in the Price Data for player input, it does imply 4pp was selling price.

One of the 4 loots from aquas

So, this should be a bug ticket, not server chat...

Can a mod move this to the Bugs forum.

[Brinkman]

After looking at a few of the items that drop from these goblins, there are way too many comments on current allakhazam about how these mobs were nerfed, to question this.

Here is a lucy shot of when the change was made, which is in line with the post bonehand listed.

This is for Dirjadak`s Chipped Stein

Live 2003-11-21 22:06 Added cost: '75'

This is for Aqua Goblin Blood

Live 2003-11-21 21:55 Added cost: '75'

Nothing in the patch notes from october - december of 2003, so they just stealth nerfed it.

The only real question is, was it always like this since release. One would have to imagine it was, but a link from classic and kunark era would be good to have.

Im pretty certain that those relatively high pp'ing items were introduced with the class/race specific home town armor quests. Definitely not classic.

When were the armor quests added because this was post Kunark, pre Luclin if memory serves.

I think it was mentioned somewhere when P99 opened, but ya
I as well as others checked these gobos out asap lol

home town armor? like newb gear? they were nerfed way before that, or they were around before that

all i have are recollections also, i def recall this a cash camp in kunark
cept i didnt really didnt check it out before that (being low level on VZ the gobs ALWAYS had groups there)
i was skeered bros, and nobody told me it had cash till later

imo, i think its one of those things selectively left out
but id like to know...
(since these arent in) are the guards reverting back to 6 or 12min timers w/e it was
and duel weilding fine steel?.. sorta makes up for the gobbys with a wider selection of camps > gobbys
