Circlet of Shadow

[Deathmask]

Two things I always regretted about EQ classic was I couldn't get the Guise of the deceiver cause while in game I put it off till later cause I didn't really know Guk that well.

The other was the Circlet of Shadows with insta cast. I was wondering if this is still in the game, and for how much longer.

I will not make the same mistake again!....unless its already been patched in which case I'll have to wait till project 2010!

Kunark isn't even out yet

i could be wrong but the circlet of shadows didnt get nerfed till luclin was out i think. so should always be safe here. the de mask i dunno.

[Xanaron]

It got nerfed before or during Velious.. and I believe it was before.

Circlet of Shadow will no longer drop in-game. The Circlet of Shadows, can now be found in its place. This item differs from the original only in that it has a five-second casting time. Existing Circlets of Shadow will retain the same functionality as before, though we may change existing Circlets at some future date.

Spent some time reading those patch notes tonight. Kinda funny to see how much trouble they had over making the Shralok Pack a lore item.


It is funny, reading the notes, I could remember what was going on when that patch came down. I started reading them all in order. Just clicking along, then I hit the message for Sept. 11, 2001.

Frak...

[Deathmask]

Wait, so then its still dropping till 6/27 of next year? And how do I spawn the pink elephant?

Yeah man we all make our plans and go on living life as if we could predict the next moment. Well were still here, nothing we can do but go on living and make the best of it for those that have lost it.

[Eyry]

They are the common drop, but are lore. I see alot of these being horded this time around.

lolwut

[Deathmask]

My prediction is since everyone hoards them its gonna be like "meh no ones buyin em... you want one?" "nah I got a few myself lol"

True story. I was farming Chief in Droga at the time to try and get Idol of the Thorned. I was there was a friend who was two-boxxing and he had his druid camped there. We were picking up 4 Circlets per day (as they were lore) and selling them off at 500pp each to make sure they we could sell all four before we went back the next day. Less than two weeks later the circlet was nerfed and the pre-nerf was instantly worth like 20k. We had just sold probably 12+ of these things and I only kept one of them for my necromancer (my 50 shadowknight was left without a pre-nerf circlet because we only kept one).

It made me sad face. Also.. I am pretty sure this nerf occurred during Luclin because I think I remember selling them during this time in the bazaar.

[Deathmask]

Anyone able to tell me where the Circlet of Shadow is currently dropping? I guess things got moved around in live awhile back and the information is difficult to find.

[RKromwell]

Try Burnt Woods.

[Deathmask]

Oh cmon don't give me that Burnt Woods BS :P

[RKromwell]

Well...is RoK live yet?

mines of droga...thats all i remember, some named there. U really need to be level 50+ to solo it, by the way, the money item is the moss twig right outside the zone...the 3/10 weapon. I hired a ranger to help me track for the named that dropped it and ended up getting it to drop, only to have the ranger ninja it from me (i paid him to help me track for the day b4 even going on the hunt, the rules were i get all loot, he was only in his 30s or so)....anyways the bastard ended up trading it to Furor from FoH...and all he got was a shitty skyfire sword, in which eventually later I got from him as he finally felt guilty about it, after hounding him...the skyfire sword was worth maybe 30k or so back then.....the moss covered twig or whatever it was called, was probably worth like 100+k...i still remember this till this day.

[Deathmask]

Could a lvl 50 wizzie solo camp it?

[azeth]

Try Burnt Woods.

fucking skyfire sword kills you!

Furor bought up all the moss covered twigs to keep them out of the general populace- much like why they spawned sleeper to stop wardens from poping once only a few non FoHers got ST keys.


anywho

Pre nerf CoS FTMFW

oh yeah- did they finally perge prenerfs from live? I looked up my guy on stationeq players and did not see my prenerf in my regular spot and had a nerfed one in my bag? Very tempted to pay 15$ to log in and see.
