Fishbone earring farmers

[Jimjam]

your 6hr timer starts now.

[jolanar]

What's the drop rate on the earrings? I've killed him a few times but never got anything.

[Jimjam]

I guess like 1 in 4?

[Erati]

you killed Hadden at 4 AM EST?

geez

[Jimjam]

And you are posting at 4AM Kiritimati Island time?

geez

[Nuggie]

mine was 1 in 6

[Jimjam]

From my experience if he has a pole, the only other thing he'll be dropping is bad faction hits.

If he has no pole Qeynos will still dislike you, but your shiny earring will protect you from the stench of rotten fruit they launch at you.

"I was here first"

"you were afk"

"no i wasnt"

"you havent moved since i got here 2 hours ago"

"that doesnt prove anything"

"sorry its clear you were afk, you have forfeited the camp and its mine now"

"ok fine i petitioned"

"me too"

[Crawdad]

My luck's probably been around 1 in 6ish too. Never seen him holding a fishing pole and drop an earring.

"I was here first"

"you were afk"

"no i wasnt"

"you havent moved since i got here 2 hours ago"

"that doesnt prove anything"

"sorry its clear you were afk, you have forfeited the camp and its mine now"

"ok fine i petitioned"

"me too"

I've only ran into one lawyer at Hadden, generally people show up and either 1) say nothing and move on, or 2) ask how long you've been there, tell you good luck, then sit AFK behind you so they can get respawn timed.

..the one lawyer did believe having the spawn time meant he could camp Hadden while in OoT, though. Classy guy.

If you're bored and want to earn some plat more actively there's far better camps.

Do an AC ring or even grind out some FS long swords in Highkeep.

Just getting my ranger some worn EB bro :p.

have fun in Kedge Keeps, the spirit of Hathaway looms large <3

[Cecily]

I always wanted a fishbone earring but that stupid item has been perma camped since I got here in 2012. I just hold my breath. Probably worst camp for worst payoff in game.

What? you just leave a character afk there for 6 hours, check your logs for when Hadden was fought and then you have a lock on when to be at keyboard next time. It's super easy if you don't mind leaving your computer running a while.

what if someone afk checks you? They'll lawyer you out of it :p

[Man0warr]

You only need to be non-afk when he actually spawns.

[Jfertal]

I was under the assumption that as long as you are there when it spawns totally fine to afk while holding the camp.

consider red

[anonymous666]

is it true if he is holding the pole there is no earring, and if he isn't there is an earring?

[SNIPERS]

is it true if he is holding the pole there is no earring, and if he isn't there is an earring?

tru

[Jimjam]

is it true if he is holding the pole there is no earring, and if he isn't there is an earring?

This has been my experience. If he has no pole and you are passing him on a character that already has an earring pass him a fishing pole to deter others killing him (big faction hit) while you mobilise an alt :p.

Pole in hand = pole
No pole in hand = earring.

Best camp for a 4 mins play/day or afk camping at work.

[Jimjam]

Thanks SSouky

22:61 ratio by those numbers, aka 26.5% drop rate on earring.

[Man0warr]

That's not what gms have told me in the past. AFK = not holding the camp.

There's nothing to hold until the mob spawns. People go afk at their camps all the time, it would be impossible to police.

[jolanar]

There's nothing to hold until the mob spawns. People go afk at their camps all the time, it would be impossible to police.

Which is exactly why afk = not holding a camp. If Hadden is up and someone is nearby but afk, it's not their mob.

[Man0warr]

How would you know they are afk? They don't have a reason to respond to you - they can just come back right before the spawn and kill it, and the GM will never have a way to prove the guy was AFK while waiting on the pop.

[Xaanka]

That's not what gms have told me in the past. AFK = not holding the camp.

how do people even play this game where you have to wait 6 hours in line behind a guy who's afk to get a crack at the rare and elusive fishbone earring?

don't even think about taking that camp if he's 5 minutes late to tab in from his latest edging session on pornhub, you'll hear about it later in the petition. try to prove it. (see above post)

if you go afk on the red server you die & the whole server laughs at you because you're horrible at everquest.

come to red, where you can kill players like this.

[Ssouky]

Usually at Hadden, you wait 1min for the guy to come back from AFK.
If Hadden is up 1 min or more, you just kill it and loot and the AFK guy whines but that's the way it is.

[Man0warr]

don't even think about taking that camp if he's 5 minutes late to tab in from his latest edging session on pornhub, you'll hear about it later in the petition. try to prove it. (see above post)


Usually GMs say to give them 30 sec-1 min to come back from AFK, otherwise it's fair game.

If someone is sitting at Hadden and he pops, shoot them a tell and give them 30secs-1min to engage. If not, take the kill. If they respond, go somewhere else. Its really not as difficult as you make it. Oh the horrors, interacting with people and not immediately getting your way.

[Xaanka]

the whole fact that you have to wait in line for Hadden is the sad part lol

[Man0warr]

It's an easy camp that almost anyone can do, that's why it's popular.

[4WOFURY]

GMs ruled that you could AFK camp King Tranix, as long as you maintained a presence at the spawn point. However, if a mob is left up and not being killed, it is an open camp.

[Cecily]

What? you just leave a character afk there for 6 hours, check your logs for when Hadden was fought and then you have a lock on when to be at keyboard next time. It's super easy if you don't mind leaving your computer running a while.

How do you think I got my fishing poles? Tis a silly camp.
