Is the HBC super rare or do I have terrible luck?

[Gimp]

Going on 11 hours at fountain in MM, 3 dhampyre pops, 3 potions. I've had several people tell me they've camped this multiple times and never had it take over 3 hours. Am I just super unlucky or is he always this rare and people are fucking with me?

I've had it take like 6-7 dhamp pops and most of a day, and I've gotten it in an hour. It's not a terribly rare item, but not all that common.

12 hours, 4 potions. FML

[Flamewraith]

I put in 10 hours the other day and only saw the dhamp pop once with a potion.

damn gimp you still there?

[Gimp]

Yes. Shit is ridiculous. Bama game starts in an hour, so I'm out then regardless, unfortunately. Knowing my luck, HBC will drop the second I leave.

I've had times where it has taken two kills including the PH. Other times I spent hours and got nada.

I got dhampyre pops 3 times in a row and each time he had an HBC. Just the random number generator being a grimy bitch to you.

[Gimp]

13 hours, five potions, fuck this camp. I'm out.

How exactly do level 30-33 mobs land spells on a level 52 character? Something is wrong with that. I just had a caster land 3 consecutive dots on me. There's no way that would happen on live.

I noticed an interesting quirk where the casters in Mistmoore would land Cancel Magic on me 100% of the time, no exaggeration.

Similar level mobs in droga would try casting Nullify Magic and I resisted it probably 80% of the time.

Cancel magic is unresistable, so that makes sense.

yeah its pretty sad when a blue mob resists 3 spells in a row, it needs to be looked at for sure.

8 Potions. I'm convinced my character is cursed.

Put in about 5 hours of camping on Dhamp, about 6 spawns, all potions.

Oh, and before I got the camp a mage spent like 1 hour and got his HBC. Gotta love Rng...

Can confirm this.. I was there.. Pretty crazy to see 3 in a row drop.

Thanks, Yendor!

8 Potions. I'm convinced my character is cursed.Keep going, man. Eventually you will get one and win EQ yet again. Don't let the game beat you.

[skipdog]

3 kills and you are whining on the forums about the lack of a drop you wanted?

Wow... maybe EQ isn't the game for you.

I have farmed about 10 of those things in the past. Sometimes I run there, he's up and drops the cloak right away. Other times I'm there and get to watch the entire Lord of the Rings trilogy before a cloak drops. It's all about luck.

HBC can be found in most major Canadian cities but is on a downward spiral. It is still the oldest company in North America and I can in fact say that cloaks can be bought here.

You may want to consider this option.
