Whats the rarest mob(s) in EQ??

[Dr. Steve Brule]

Ok this one is a little tough to elaborate on... i don't mean rare mobs such as GM-spawned mobs, epic mobs, ect. and this is more of an opinion than factual.

I'm gonna say the Ferocious Hammerhead of Kedge Keep. Never have seen him in all my years, and also the Driftwood Treasure Chest seems to be even more rare, because according to the wiki one hasn't been for sale in years, Ahungry has no listings and the EC forum has way more WTB's than WTS.

[Byrjun]

Doubt it's the rarest, but this guy is still pretty rare:

this

I saw one for the first time like two months ago

[Buellen]

well here

King Xorb in the gorge is relatively easy to spawn after a few hours at one spot.


On live I only ever saw him spawn twice from 1999 to 2006. On Eqmac only ever saw him once.

[Philipangoo]

I use to see so many scute shields on live. I rarely see them here. I remember them because the graphic is awesome like the ashen bone shield.

About 2 years ago the chest was nowhere near as rare as it is now. It got nerfed back to what it should have been.

I got my chest finally last week; after killing hundreds of PH's and probably around 15 ferocious, which I consider extremely lucky as the drop rate is supposedly far worse than that. Was very strange. I did a 6hourish shift on friday with no ferocious; took a break, came back and had 3 pop in a row. Last one had a chest. Very very lucky.

[Cecily]

Bought a chest in EC for 3k. It's a great weapon bag for my ranger.

Use one on my druid as a weapon bag... I'd like to swap it out for a dragon bag eventually though since druid strength isn't superb.

[Cecily]

Tink + Treasures Hunters Satchel got me down to 90ish wt on Wyn. Used to need Str buff going all the time. As far as the chest, I think it's really only good for melee chars.

[Byrjun]

Yeah I don't get the Treasure Chest thing, in the time it takes to camp you could farm plat for at least a couple Tink Bags... way better.

[Sirken]

nilbog is the rarest spawn in EQ ;)

[Pint]

That de that roams solb is p rare, only seen him a handful of times.

I love that the wiki calls it an Elf Vampire under Race. Like the Monty Python rabbit.

Druid's need weapon bags?

[Ravager]

The Ancient Cyclops that roams the Hills of Eastern Karana.

See you didnt even know he poped there

I'm not convinced that one was ever implemented on this server.

[Byrjun]

I've had someone tell me that they only camp the EK AC for jboots rings... idk.

[Aviann]

Tbh with the amount of MQers on the server, its pretty rare that you'll ever see a cyclops up again.

I'd rather just pay someone 7k than to camp that thing... I've spent hours in OOT for a few different alts and never seen it spawn.

[Rec]

scruffy

[getsome]

http://wiki.project1999.com/Midghh_the_Dark

Seen this guy twice in Solb in 3+ years

I wonder what he is for.

[Gimp]

I've never even heard of that mob in solb.

Feel like that's a GM troll.

[getsome]

I found him way up past window and he either despawns or is killed by another npc.

[Kevris]

Undead Grimrot.

Seriously, does this guy even spawn or is it a big joke?

Not ALL weapons...

So many procs and clickies!

AC in South Karana prob.

someone might have answered this, but he was taken out. 12/12 ish.

Sorry to see you ran into that guy, apparently he also casts a debuff on you that causes your screen to be 50% covered in UI elements. :( Must be hell.

[buffmagnum]

The Sarnak that drops earring of station. It was my 55 Iksar SK on the nameless server Surln hunted forever for one and never got it. Went from 35-49 in OT on my Necro and found it...no melee around on a Tuesday morning.

[Llodd]

Yeah I don't get the Treasure Chest thing, in the time it takes to camp you could farm plat for at least a couple Tink Bags... way better.

Several reasons. It's 22min spawn, easy afk camp nothing else spawns there or roams in.

There are two other named mobs very close by that drop a 1k and 3k item (got several of each).

You can xp while doing it.

And finally, and most importantly, I'm trying not to buy anything and get the stuff myself!

Squallslither from Dagnors Cauldron.

I've done my fair share of Bilge camping, runs to Kedge and unrest for PLing and exping...

I believe I've only seen him twice.

His instant 200 HP heal + 200 Rune potion is quite boss for FTE / Venril Sathir stall tanking.

[Clark]

Not as many as in classic, but sometimes you can catch one.

Terrorantula is my vote. I've only seen like 3 ever between live and P99.

It can drop from multiple different Sarnaks. My gnome necro has one that I got when doing the giant fort in BW and got a wandering sarnak add. There weren't any melee around to come loot it either. WHich is actually fine with me now because I roll with Str gear on that guy since I only use him for farming now and don't need much mana/hp when my pet is mutilating greens.

[pharmakos]

holy shit qaos, your sig gif is so funny

[captnamazing]

I've only ever seen Midgh and the basilisk in dead side Guk once. I remember, when I saw the basilisk and died, my group didn't believe that it existed and kicked me because they thought I was bullshitting

[BarackObooma]

Mayong Mistmoore - once per server
http://wiki.project1999.com/Mayong_Mistmoore

SK/EK Ancient Cyclops - never seen it on live or P99 and spent hundreds of hours tracking in SK.

I remember on live early on there were tales of a Kraken in Ocean of Tears or Lake Rathe (I've heard both). Below is a rumors thread that mentions that it might have been in beta but no screenshots exist.

http://www.project1999.com/forums/showthread.php?p=112743

Also in that thread it mentions "Nightmare" a level 20 horse in Lavastorm. Don't think I've ever seen him either.

[Byrjun]

Mayong Mistmoore was a normal raid spawn for the first month or two of P99. Spawned in his room, was always up unless he was killed and then I believe his respawn was the normal 7 days.

He was altered constantly. Most of his forms were essentially unbeatable (there was one with Phara Dar AE and another one that spawned a lot of adds). Basically he was "tuned down" a couple times so that each of the two raid guilds at the time (Inglourious Basterds and Transcendence) got a chance to kill him. Dropped the Fanged Skull Stiletto each time, and I think also his robe which was essentially a vanity item for enchanters only?

An old guild leader of Inglourious Basterds named Otto got one Fanged Skull Stiletto. I can't remember the name of the rogue in Transcendence who got his, but he joined IB about a week later which caused a lot of drama.

Also in that thread it mentions "Nightmare" a level 20 horse in Lavastorm. Don't think I've ever seen him either.

I saw that roaming around the other day, so it does spawn on P99.

[BarackObooma]

Cool, thanks Byrjun. I started late and missed out on all the Mayong Madness. Would have been cool if someone took fraps of the fights.

terrorantula, along with the other rares in the deserts of ro and the karanas, aren't that rare. it's just that the placeholders don't get killed very often

[Zapatos]

Had no idea what he was for.

I killed a lesser nightmare (http://wiki.project1999.com/A_lesser_nightmare) a couple month or so ago on this server, dropped a Nightmare_Hide (http://wiki.project1999.com/Nightmare_Hide)
was pretty stoked to see him spawn, the nightmare hide ain't worth crap on blue tho

What is the name of the potion he drops? Sounds like a good clicky to have.

[captnamazing]

http://wiki.project1999.com/Grazhak_the_Berzerker

I camped this dude over the course of 3 days and never saw him spawn. He spawns on the western side of an eastern valley in Rathe Mountains then walks around a hill. Timer is 2 hrs and usually spawns as a PH, i think another type of orc.

[Nefarum]

Supposedly it was supposed to be a Clicky root not a Proc , but that is from memory of my early days of live(i played a druid and fellow druids insisted it was a clicky root item). I tried searching through way back machine throughout various sites, could not find evidence to this effect.

[Vladesch]

AC in South Karana prob.

it was removed.
Was pretty easy to spawn before. Just west of aviak village where all the other cyclops spawn.

Its where I got my ring of the ancients.

Don't recall if I've ever seen Terrorantula on 99, but that's probably because I assumed it was super common and stopped caring. Saw it a ton on Live.

The Leviathan below the Lake Rathe was removed in beta originally because it caused all kinds of server issues and had pathing problems they couldn't seem to fix.

There was rumor of a Megladon (Faydedar model?) type creature on Ocean of Tears as well.

Al hear say I recall from late 99/01 but will pass it on none the less.

[jarshale]

There's some bandit in FoB that supposedly drops a coin wt reduction item. Never seen the mob, never seen the item. He was added in a few years back when they put the carrion queen in as well.

[Atmas]

Good thread.

I actually got my jboots for my first toon from a Ring of the Ancients off of the AC in SK. Until this thread I had never even heard of another person doing that.

I've seen that DE in solb. I have never seen Terronatula here but he seemed more common on live. I feel like if Pained Soul wasn't a highly needed spawn it would almost never be seen. Sometimes I wonder how the quest even got completed in the first place.

[Briscoe]

I feel like if Pained Soul wasn't a highly needed spawn it would almost never be seen. Sometimes I wonder how the quest even got completed in the first place.

Along the same lines of something I mentioned a few posts up...I am amazed at how a lot of these quests were ever finished the first time around. It's why I always half-believed the ridiculous "thousands of unsolved quests!" line that became so famous. Certainly most of them were just broken or unfinished, but I always felt like there had to be some number of obscure quests out there no one managed to complete.
