Quillmane getting dozens of spawns per hour and cloaks flooding market

[Cen]

Been hearing this a lot lately. Considering the spawning mechanics have been known for awhile now, what new breakthrough is allowing for the mass spawning of quillmanes and cloaks happening? Are more people just educated on it?

Maybe the cloak price will drop to 100pp soon? :p

Anyone in the know on whats going on?

[Elijah850]

Whats going on it would seem is you are asking for nerfing scrutiny. If you camp the spawn points and actively kill PHs Quillmane is a very easy camp.

[Baler]

Quillmane was never hard to spawn on blue, It just takes 3 people who know how to do it and don't give up.

You wanna talk about flooding the market, Feathered Leggings. Everyone walking around looking like a giant bird.

I spawned Quillmane maybe two dozen times solo when I was bored in SK and just looking to give some newbs a chance at a cloak. The biggest problem with QM is finding it, not spawning it. If you have a couple of people working the spawns you get a cloak every 15 mins.

I think someone thinks im trying to get it nerfed but I'm not. I just want a cloak tbh as a Cleric who never has a source of levitate and I doubt theres anything game breaking going on here :p

[cd288]

I’m sure part of it is we are in the pre Kunark era so there’s just so many more people around SK

[Bigsham]

this is what happens when people go career everquest in 2020

hmmm definitely not a cloak every 15 minutes, in my experience it's a QM pop every 30ish minutes or so and a cloak on average once every 90 mins. like any camp, it's RNG. you can get 3 cloaks in a row and then a 2-hour dry spell.

[Phaezed-Reality]

i was wondering when the increased pop would force a up in droprate, i havn't seen what you are describing with my own eyes. But this was a long time coming. The one time i went out it turned into what i think was a CS nightmare. People sitting on the spawns that had noone clearing the PHs. Basically welfare quillmane. and it was ruled ok.

I imagine its continued. And this is possibily the end result. I hope atleast.

The outdoor rares spawns have always been way too generous on P99 as far as Ican tell.

[ChooChoo Train]

50+ people in SK, weirdly enough this zone seems to be very friendly and sharing, most people instantly slaughter any ele calf, lioness, lion even if they aren’t after QM/Groi. Makes him spawn quite quickly. The drop rate is still RNG though.

[Canelek]

SK has mostly been a pleasant place to level on Green. There are always some who will be jackasses, but it has mostly been pretty cooperative.

As for QM, yeah that is old hat to most, and there have been plenty of folks spawning him. I got cloaks solo on two of my characters. Sure, you lose the spawn to the zone most of the time, but with a strategic bind point, you can at least easily cover two spawn points. Bring a friend or guild group and you are golden.

Harms from Kingdom also would spawn the crap out of QM and allow people to roll.

Sure beats paying for LR, although I am sure that will be more of a thing when tracking gets upgraded in Velious.

Yeah I was farming the shit out of Groi and on multiple occasions I would see him pop, I'd kill him before he even started roaming and I'd have another Groi immediately pop on his corpse. My immersion was shattered!

[ravinz]

Try Pyzjn on Green.

Stingy little rat that Pyzjn.

[Niadissa]

went 2 nights, 8 hours, got 11 spawns and 1 cloak, so it's RNG

[Indecisive]

Maybe the cloak price will drop to 100pp soon? :p

WTB loot rights, 100p!

For real though, I saw Quillmane up and just wandering around for at least five minutes before I ooc'd his position the other day. Really wished I'd been in my 30's so I could have tested the RNG gods myself.

[magnetaress]

Cant someone just make like every spawn take 500 much more time or less chance, and make this the survival horror server it should be?

So its more like weeks or months for a chance at 1 drop of something.

[magnetaress]

most common 'named' loot should be like 1 chance a year everything else should be players making tradeskill items :D and fine plates

I’d love a variation on this. Only shop bought and tradeskill equipment/ingredients are tradable. Magic items exceedingly rare. No player should want to buy battered and broken third hand old rawhide, ringmail or bronze that was stripped and stolen from a disgusting monster.

yeah it'd be a fun server, especially as the later expansions roll out with some decent tradeskillable loots :D

would need some compelling lore to entice the neckbeerds to go into Vex Thal tho. Still.

Done well, that would be a grand way to deny 90%+ of the soulless farmers the foul winds that lift their slimy wings.

[Gustoo]

On live I walked thru karana as a ranger and killed quillmane cuz someone told me to, and looted cloak

Seems harder here than live based on 1 anecdotal experience.

[DMN]

Try Pyzjn on Green.

Broken clock is right twice a day.
