Share your positive list experience!

[Octopath]

All I read is negative list experiences... 24 hour + before drops etc etc...

Surely there are those who got lucky or had positive experiences.

I’ll start!

My ranger tried guise camp for the first time last weekend. I got on list at midnite est and was 3rd on list. The guys in front of me had been there for 16 and 19 hours. About 1 hour passed and bam ass spawns. Drops a mask for #1. Very next spawn is ass again! Drops dagger :(. NEXT spawn is ass again! Drops a mask for #2!

So here I am number 1 on list after only around 2 hours in camp. It gets better.

The very next spawn is ass again! However, he is holding a dagger. Lame .... however, when he dies I get this beautiful yellow text spamming me my list item dropped!

I loot and he was holding a fine steel dagger and a guise!

4 ass spawns in a row 3 of which had a guise. I had my guise in less than 3 hours at camp.

Please share your experience, has anyone has this luck with MS or Rubi bp!?

[Dolalin]

I have never listed for an item and will never need to (I play a Bard), but I can say with authority that my play sessions have been better for toxic idiots being drawn to the list camps.

[Octopath]

Good start

[bum3]

My guild has recruited a couple great members at the rubi bp list.

Im glad you got it quick Octo. The laws of the universe still owe you a lot of plat lol

I made lots of friends at the list camps who I still check in on now and again! I mean, I don't talk to them directly because they're disgusting human beings, but I like to stalk them using /who while fantasizing about polyamorous scenarios involving them, me, Kobober, and the Evil Eye.

[Fawqueue]

My favorite so far:

The day after I got my Jboots, I went back and helped my buddy just to be nice. That would normally have been incredibly boring, since I had literally nothing to gain from it, but I found a great way to pass the time. Every once in a while, especially when someone new would join the list, I would link my boots and pretend that they'd dropped from a Drelzna that had already been looted. I convinced multiple people that something funky had happened, and the reactions of people thinking they got skipped over were pretty entertaining. I always let them know I was kidding a few moments later, so nobody was left upset or anything.

One morning, I logged into my friend’s character at the manastone camp so he could take another 3-hour nap. He was high on the list, maybe number 2. Within a couple hours, two manastones dropped nearly back to back. I looted a manastone on my friend’s character and went back to bed. He later let me use it during a week when he was too busy to play.

A few weeks later, I did the same thing for another friend and looted a manastone on his character too. :D We’ll see how it goes when I camp one!

^ glad u got to loot manastones for ur friends...but...i think your post sums up how big a fail the list system really is, haha.

I actually like the /list system and I wouldn’t call it a fail myself, but perhaps that’s merely because I have a flexible work schedule and I am confident I’ll be able to get friends to log Naala in so I can sleep.

Anyway, to your point, both of my friends were on the list for 3 or 4 days. One of them had already /listed for the manastone camp and had failed somehow after 3 days. Maybe twice? I can’t remember. So if that sounds like a bad system to you, then yeah. It’s pretty extreme.

Was a fail in the sense you basically have to get friends to log you in so you can sleep. So people who don't want to account share or can't do 40+ hours straight miss out. I guess I could just account share like everyone else though...but it just seems so unclassic to me to do that, it irritates me but I guess I need to let it go, lol.

[Misek84]

I don’t think there is that much negativity regarding the /list system. Most of the negatively is about the unclassic drop rates i.e. a normally common drop being more rare than the rare drop from the named.

I get to guise camp and I'm #3 on list. 10 mins later ass spawns and it's a mask, now I'm #2. Guy who got his mask stays for a couple spawns cause he wants to make sure that the shaman and I (monk) will be ok. Turns out we weren't. Shaman slow resisted 5 times in a row and he ends up dying, I flop. This happened while 1st dude is afk. He then leaves cause he has better stuff to do and I dont blame him.

Shaman makes it back in time to keep his #1 spot but in doing so he trains the camp and dies again. By the time we get him a rez he loses spot and I'm #1, but now alone cause shaman is pissed. I ooc to see if anyone wants to camp ass sup. Dude from Seal Team sends me a tell saying he'll ask in guild. 5 mins later Kanata of Seal team shows and brings a few friends. They are all from Japan but super nice people. 2 spawns later I get my guise.

Took roughly 2.5 hours, super lucky. I log in a couple days later and see Shaquilleos camping guise (super good guy who was behind me at jboot camp) and I join group cause I still need a bag and TBB would be sick. After a few hours a belt drops and Shaq insists that I loot it, other group members agree! Damn nice people

[DMN]

list made me realize how many better things I could be doing with my time than EQ.

Is account sharing against the rules?


Guy in my guild made a char just to let people use it to camp legacy items for everyone.

Seems cheesy and gives people playing the game legit less of an edge

[aaezil]

People using their friends to log in while they work or sleep is lame and is ruining the spirit of the list system

[jjj]

Guilds make druids to share for PL and porting.

Guilds make toons to hold items like a bank.

Guilds make toons just to do certain quests, or just pop certain mobs (i.e. hopper bag quest giver)

Guilds make toons to be alchemy bots.

Guilds make toons with max CHA and give CHA gear just to recharge items.

And now... guilds make toons just to camp legacy items.

So what?

/list is a great idea

[Asteria]

Mine was 12 hours for Guise, was hit/miss but was great exp pulling from all around us when a freak train or warped pet didn't cause a wipe. There was a 4-5 hour streak or so with no assassins spawning at all. Still overall fun. There was a good cast of characters in the group to keep it intersecting and fun! :)

[Videri]

Nope. Also that would be unenforceable, so double nope. Suppose you came to my house to take care of my pets while I’m away, and you logged in your character. Surely you should not be banned for that.

However, staff have vehemently discouraged it at certain times, because sometimes if Player A shares an account with Player B, and Player B gets banned, they’ll ban every account Player B has ever logged into...including Player A’s account.

Might as well make such a char a druid so it can also be a port bot!

Just curious - what in particular makes you say account sharing cheesy or not legit? Would you still feel that way if you knew it’s not against the rules?

As for me, I look forward to the day I finish leveling Naala and give her login info to all of my officers so they can use her to port and invite people to <Castle> while I play a new character. And if they want to use her to camp a /list item, hey, go for it. And I don’t fear Naala getting banned because we promote officers carefully and slowly and I trust them all.

[M.J.]

/app Castle, I'm here for the free druid account!

Hehehe, I know you were probably joking. But if you (or anyone) were to join and show you have the Castle spirit and an even keel and a good head on your shoulders, and then volunteered to help us build Castle as an officer, you’d have access too. And I doubt anyone would fake all that for a level 30-something druid.

So hit 29 and decided to see how the list for jboots was.

joined it late one night players there saw the rags i was wearing , and just handed me and FBR was a nice upgrade from raw silk robe.

Stayed at camp 2 hours helping and get some experience. never got above 4 and had to sleep.

Next Morning i log in before work and join list same bard that was 3rd night before is there as number 1. next spawn boom boots, next spawn boots again. I was number 2 and then i jumped to 1 at next afk check a necro failed the type in number check. two place holders later boots drops again and i get my boots.

In all my short time there all the people on the list where friendly and helpful.
