Plane of Mischief - Funny Money Combine? (Empty Pot of Gold)

Issue: Attempting to combine a Words of Wealth with a Words of Wealth: Top Left in an Empty Pot of Gold to make a Funny Money. The combine does not work. Get the error message that these items cannot be combined in this container type.

This combine allegedly worked on EQMac, which had Plane of Mischief 1.0.

On Al'Kabor the Top Left: Word of Wealth plus a complete Word of Wealth combine in An Empty Pot of Gold to make a Funny Money.
Melted down about two dozen thrones worth of armor before someone told me this.

Miuma is a source to trust.

She literally maxed her PoM faction in an attempt to find a purpose for jesters and other undiscovered quests.

wait you are saying you dont have to melt armor down to make funny money

omgs

I'm aware of the combine, but it is intentionally not implemented for a while at least, if ever. This was almost certainly a bug that could have been specific to EQmac which completely undermines the entire zone and all of the work others did. With the knowledge players have now, no one would ever work through the quests, which is not classic.

EQMac's version of PoM vs. Classic PoM - it appears that, for whatever reasons, EQMac likely had a slightly different version of PoM combines. Witness the combine for the Tundra mask on EQMac vs. the Globe of Darkness on ClassicLive. I'm not sure if there is an explanation, or a way to figure out what's going on, but it's clear that some combines on EQMac indicate some differences.

Not sure how it may apply to this particular item, but it is worth mentioning. Although I'm REALLY hoping to prove some EQMac combines are classic so we can get them on P99.

"I did find a "new" recipe recently for a Mask of the Tundra Walker, AC10 WIS8, Illusion: Barb, Cast Time 7.0, Class: Cleric, Race: Hum/Eru, combing Black Throne, Blue Throne, Black Crown, Blue Crown, which Allah says is supposed to give a Globe of Darkness."
From a thread on Mac boards.

I've been able to find a 2003 post about using WoW + Top Left to make Funny Money, which provides some indication that it wasn't solely an EQ Mac combine. But there were several intervening PoM modifications between release and 2003 when the post was made.

This still works, however, it is an incredible pain in the ass, simply combine, in a pot of gold, a complete Words of Wealth with a Words of Wealth: Top Left Corner for a funny money.

Also, Library Cards do not (or if they do, its incredibly rare, as I've been bound there for 6 months) drop off any creature in the zone, but only on the Chessboard, and more rarely in AiWL. Chessboard can be pulled fairly easily with Wake of Tranquility, just watch for the pit traps and bad pathing.

Also, the doll is not no drop, so you can buy it (thats what i did for my BP).

There is also evidence of other sweeping changes in 2003 on live, including Peach D'Vicci no longer spawning in October. She is directly related to the quest.

As of 2007 on EQmac Peachy still required 4 funny money, does anyone know the date it was changed to 2?

That was later changed I believe. Originally it started off as 4 FM's:

Now talk to Bob the Painter and he will hand you a Pot of Gold, a two slot container. Place your Words of Wealth and any item you obtained from the Deck of Spontaneous Generation quests in the Pot of Gold and hit combine. You will be rewarded with Funny Money. If you run over and hand Peachy four of these Funny Moneys you will receive a colored gift box. Each colored box represents a different class in the game, such as the Blue Gift Box is for Magicians. This box comes with five charges, each of which will summon a doll. Now take the doll and combine it with one of the pieces of the Armor of Distraction and you'll receive your class specific doll quest armor.

Looks like it's the other way around. It was 2 moneys when the zone launched and was changed to 4 in 2003:

Give Peachy D'Vicci four funny money (this has been two in the past, but is FOUR now) and she'll give you a random Gift Box
