View Full Version : Gear that doubles as a lightsource

Not sure if this has been discussed before, if so I couldn't find it.

I'm looking for suggestions for gear that has the "greater lightstone effect". Looking for suggestions more towards the higher end that are also droppable, but feel free to post any items you know.

A few examples of gear that acts as a greater lightsource

Crown of King Tranix (head)
Split Paw Hide Mask (face)
Preserved Split Paw Eye (range)
Charred Guardian Shield (Secondary)

All of my toons have access to ultravision through illusions or spells, but I still like the glow of a lightstone and am looking for an alternative to occupying an inventory slot.



Side note: Please spare me the "p99 night vision isn't classic!"

Soulfire in inventory is a pretty nice lightsource

Some of those are probably only lesser or standard lightsources, not greater.

Lodizal Shell Shield = lesser lightsource
Torch/Lanterns = standard lightsource
Preserved Split Paw Eye = standard lightsource
Charred Guardian Shield = standard lightsource
Ornate Velium Pendant = greater lightsource

Also, Crown of King Tranix isn't a lightsource, it just gives you infravision. On P99 I actually prefer standard lightsources since vision isn't much of an issue - standard lightsources look warmer and more natural, greater looks like a halogen light. There's also not much of a difference in brightness between the two on P99 - greater is brighter but the difference on P99 is unnoticeable. If you don't have improved sight like infravision/ultravision then you probably want greater.

Light emitters probably aren't classic on P99 too - for example, a Fire Beetle Eye is about the same brightness as a Lodi Shield, but the light it produces is warmer and more natural. Lodi Shield's light looks like a lesser version of the Greater Lightstone's halogen-like effect. I don't really remember there being different qualities of lightsources like that on live, but I could be wrong.

Pretty sure what I listed are all greater lightsources. Split paw eye is one I'm unsure of, but splitpaw mask is definitely greater lightsource so seems likely the Eye would be as well. I've tested by equipping the piece of gear, followed by putting greater lightstone in inventory to see if there is a change in light emitted, although it's been quite a while so I may be remembering wrong.

Crown of King Tranix I've never owned but it's wiki page specifically says "Crown of King Tranix is a greater light source". Can anyone confirm it isn't a lightsource along with the infravision?

Thanks for the suggestions so far guys. Blazing Vambraces is one I didn't realize was a lightsource and is a perfect example of what I was looking for (besides being no drop)

One I forgot, Unicorn Horn for bards is a lightsource if it's equipped or in inventory. I think it's a greater lightsource but would have to double check.

It also depends on what has or hasn't been changed - I'm mainly speaking to how things are according to the EQEmu source, which is what P99 is based upon. It's possible they've changed some items to be more classic - e.g., if Tranix Crown is supposed to be a greater lightsource during this era then they might've added that in. It's also possible that the wiki information is simply wrong, and that someone mistakenly wrote that under the impression that the change in vision was a change in their light source. Split Paw Hide Mask oddly is a greater lightsource, the Eye is not - unless it's supposed to be and has been changed on P99.

I was looking for this information a couple days ago. I found this link: http://giline.versus.jp/shiden/light_e.htm which lists all the light source types, but has only a few examples.

Allakhazam's will have some differences with P99 (intentional or not), but for items that act as a light source it will list light type. For example http://everquest.allakhazam.com/db/item.html?item=2531 armor of Fennin Ro has "Light: Flameless Lantern" on all pieces, except the helm. I can only assume it's the same on P99.

I tried to find a way to find all items on alla's with "Light: Flameless Lantern", but google wasn't doing it.

tranix is FOR SURE a greater lightsource other players can see. i tested it out. light sources are a massive disadvantage in group pvp in certain zones.

It could be that the EQEmu code has difficulties with items that have a sight improvement attribute and also act as a lightsource - maybe on the user's end it's only giving the improved sight a la infravision/ultravision but not emitting any light, but to others it's emitting light as it should.

Worth verifying - does anyone know of any other items that are definitely a lightsource and also give you improved sight? It could also be that everyone's just getting Crown of King Tranix confused with Crown of the Froglok Kings, which is a greater lightsource.

Pretty sure this is the case - it looks like all items have in their raw data an attribute simply called "light", which is assigned a value to determine its type of light source. For items that don't emit light the value is set to 0: http://lucy.allakhazam.com/itemraw.html?id=4504

Greater Lighstone (http://lucy.allakhazam.com/itemraw.html?id=10400) = 11
Fire Beetle Eye (http://lucy.allakhazam.com/itemraw.html?id=10307) = 12

etc.

There is a value in raw data entry for each item called "light". All light sources are not the same. Search the item on lucy to check its value. If you have a membership you can do an advanced search of all items by date and by light, which will give you close to an exhaustive list.

example:

Light values:
smoldering brand = 3
Breastplate of Ro = 7
Stein of Mogguk = 5
howling harpoon = 0
gloomingdeep lantern = 11

Funny, I could swear the Breastplate of Ro was one of the brightest lightsources. I equipped it coming out of GFay in BB mountains and I could swear I heard a Kaladim dwarf guard yell "Turn off the durn'd light!"

The "light" value is an arbitrary assignment; 2 isn't necessarily brighter than 1. For example, Fire Beetle Eye is 12, but Greater Lightstone is far brighter at 11.

I don't know much about the wiki besides basic edits, but maybe could have a page with all items listed here and their level of lightsource as well as adding to each items page? I could add the list if someone set up the page once it's available.

Paw of Opolla is a lightsource. I still suck at determining which kind of light source is which in game, but again seems torch-ish to me.

it's a mask, has some strength on it, and resists, AND it weighs 0.0! Not sure if someone mentioned it, didn't feel like going through 7 pages of listed items haha.

***This mask is really cool as it gives a vision spell effect when worn. I even used it on my human druid because it vastly improved his vision.
