You think your luck is bad?

[Jlpstrtkng]

I waited almost four hours to get my shot at the AC. Then camped his PH for another four hours. No avail. So I went to bed and when I woke up early around 5 AM I figured see if he’s up. He wasn’t but the zone was dead empty but me. After about 15 minutes someone came up and asked to get on the list and I was like “it’s too early for this shit the camps all yours” and no sooner when I said that the elusive AC spawns for this guy. His luckiest day, mine not so much. Gonna stew on this at work lol fml. Any other unlucky stories from you guys on here?

I mean, I lost the roll on Torpor in Seb crypt on my shaman 7 times from 56 to 60. When the 8'th one dropped i just split 80k with the group and scribed it on the spot.

You were carrying around 80k while doing CE?

Nope, died and ran to the bank, then got rezed back in with the cash.

This was also a while back when Torpor was commonly 100-110k, so I actually got a deal on it, since it was like I was "paying 100k to the group" of 5 people, but I was one of the 5, so 20k a pop.

It took me a little over 6 months of scout rolls to win one bracer. I missed maybe 5 rolls in that time. I still have 3 talismans and 5 bracers I want to get, but uh...who knows when that'll happen.

I've done 50+ KDT kills and haven't won an orb.

Lost count how many fungi tunics I've seen drop in trios and full groups alike and the only one I have is one I bought.

On my third rogue, I camped ass/sup for a DE mask and didn't get an assassin to pop in 10 hours.

Took over 24 hours of camping Lord Gimblox and Gurgleballs to get the ring and crown.

The one time I camped Stormfeather, he skipped his first cycle, then I crashed in window on the second, came back to a lvl 40ish monk killing SF.

I'm sure there's quite a few other instances, but those are the ones that have stuck out over the years.

I camped the jail in Droga for 72 hours total over the course of a week before getting the Stone Key for my Lord of Pain's Khukri.

[Legidias]

Ive lost 3 scout rolls with 980+ rolls. Once lost a 994 roll to a full 1000.

Lost on 2 T-staves with rolling 80+ both times.

I have logged at least 30+ hours in TT on forager / hunter with only 2 (non item drop) named spawn.

Also have done LoIO goblin ring camp (the double spawn) over several characters for at least 20 hours. Never seen the ring.

Also, when I was camping DE mask, it took about 24 hours total to get it to drop (though I did see like 8 belts drop).

RNG sucks bro.

These are great lol. As frustrating as it all is, it wouldn’t be classic Everquest without it

Yes it would be. Classic everquest was never supposed to be about sitting around doing boring ass camps, and for the majority of players during 1999, it wasn't. People just got in groups and fought stuff, or did various other community events. The location of all these items, or their existence in the first place, wasn't known to the majority.

What?

I'm not sure what Everquest you played, but there were camps that people knew about specifically for items. Maybe not every camp that's done now, but FBSS, AC, Goblin Rings, Evil Eye, Guise etc were camped pretty frequently when i played.
