Popular Camp Rules On Non Lore Drops

In Soviet Norrath camp XPs YOU!

If you get exp, it's your camp regardless if you have a wardrobe full of gator pants. The list mechanic applies to what it's programmed to apply to.

This has nothing to do with the list mechanic. The rule stated in OPs post is a general rule for all mobs that are camped for a specific item. The rule is made in good faith and is not enforceable seeing as no one would know if you looted the gatorscale leggings or not (unless you are grouped that that is usually unlikely).

I did the AC camped for a few days on and off last month. If there was someone there that wanted the camp for XP, I made a deal with them that they could take all the crocs they wanted as long as they killed them in a timely fashion. I even helped finish them off when getting to low HP. But when the AC spawned, he was mine. I probably spent a total of 40 hours on and off at that camp before getting 1 pair of leggings. I see it unlikely that people are holding down the camp in one sitting for multiple drops.

P.S. One last very important detail that often gets left out of these abstract rules discussions: none of this matters unless you communicate. You have to say "Hi Bob, I see you are camping the AC, and I'd like to camp him once you get your leggings. Could you please let me know once you do, so I can come take the camp from you?"

It's only if you then suspect that Bob has gotten two pairs of leggings and you then /petition that there's even a chance of Bob being forced to give up the camp. We don't even get to have the "WWGMD" (what would the GMs do?) conversation until that point.

But at the same time, I honestly think that with 95+% of the players on this server, if you say "I really want some croc leggings, can I get some after you", they will just give you the camp and GMs will never get involved.

This is exactly the kind of solution that should happen, and that I'm sure it's what the staff would prefer to see.

hey there elf legally camping something
here’s a few forum novels on why you should give the camp to me

**don’t forget to read my elf dissertation wiki, thankS!

I would guess that this “ruling” would be applied only to the extremely popular big ticket item camps like the AC. I don’t think it would be applied to your average loot drop even if it’s somewhat valuable (like the leggings). JBoots are one of the most desired items on the server so you’re just trying to prevent a guild or group of individuals from basically controlling that camp and using it to price gouge MQs etc.; you’re not really worried about that with your average piece of gear.

Guys this has been hugely informative.. Thank you!

I now believe that if there's huge demand for this gator scale legging, which there is, the list is long, one guy capmned 30 hours, 1 guy 11 got 2, 1 guy 6 got 2, one guy ? got 3.

If you get your item, and people are dying to get it behind you, you should give it up. Just cuz it's not lore, doesn't mean the rules don't apply about solo camping "the item you're looking for".

I might bring that up next time I'm here and someone's been here forever. Because I felt bad for some guys I see who have clearly been trying to get camp forever.

Devils advocate: maybe you waited 30 hours to get this camp, cuz the guy before you (true story, RIP) didn't get any for a day. Should you deserveeee a few more ?? lol.

Honestly if you're camping those leggings for over 30 hours you could probably farm enough plat to buy them in EC in less than that time.

That gatorscale leggings camp is rough, and you always end up with a bunch of unwanted sleeves. But have you tried camping the gatorscale tunic? It's so rare, I am not sure if it is ever gonna drop, but I will keep looting gatorscale leggings and sleeves until I get my tunic!
