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

[Ele]

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.

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.

I believe this combine always worked even in classic.

I do not remember it being difficult to get the Funny Moneys.

The problem with creating armor was the drop rate and availability of Thrones and certain Crowns, this was the time sink.

What are you talking about "it undermines the entire zone"? It takes FOREVER to farm there, an absolutely insanely ridiculous amount of time to ever make the class armor if you can't make funny money but using the top-left combine. What are you talking about "no one would ever work through the quests"? There are no quests. It's just a ton of farming. Without the top-left combine to make the funny money, it's not worth trying to get the class armor. Only a total no-life person would spend the time on it, a scary amount of time.

No one is forcing you to obtain PoM armor. It was rare on live and it will likely be rare here. Some obtained it using 4 funny money before there was any mention of the top left combine. I am also not here to wipe your tears or be your rage cushion, so watch it.

LOL, all I wanted was for you to respond to your reasoning of "it undermines the entire zone". The zone is nothing but farming and it seems you think having to farm an obscene amount = a better zone. Words + Top Left combine would be a strange EQMac-only bug if that was the case. Sounds like the kind of thing that would have been a bug in classic as well and people just didn't realize it at the time, which was the case with many such things back then.

This appears to be proof the combine is classic, was known, and not specific to EQmac.

Also:

9. Get a Gift Box
Give Peachy D'Vicci four funny money (this has been two in the past, but is FOUR now)

I also see 4 funny money being needed as far back as May 2001.
