all PC eq bitches who think temerity is inept need to check themselves. The PoP version we have is almost impossible at EPs+ and it is _always_ a struggle to even get 40 people in a raid considering the population and flagging requirements. FPS and latency are a huge issue; literally no computer exists that will run an EQmac raid above slideshow fps. We're playing the version before the version Furor was playing when he made his famous weepy rant about dev cockblocking, so feel free to shit on FoH's pve skills instead while you sit on trak's bind with 75 people mr. eqexpert.
It's for the best anyway - server would seem a bit more pointless (a la p99) if all the content was being farmed and all we had to do was jerk off and spam image macros. | ||

hmm can't edit this in so new post:
Let me elaborate. On Al'kabor there is a glitch/bug with the pacify line of spells. Basically, if you cast pacify twice in a row on mobs, they stay paccifed forever. So.. i've pacified the entire dungeon of howling stones and did nothing but run from one place holder to the next killing only the named and placeholders... for weeks at a time (would just AFK in the dungeon around the pacified mobs while not killing named). Yeah its an awful bug, but we are the forgotten server so we get zero fixes (this might change real soon though thanks to Lion not working with the old EQ client), but that pacify bug has allowed me to thoroughly mega camp howling stones (and other dungeons) and see the drop rates over hundreds of named and placeholders. I had over hmm hell if i know, 50 bloodpoints at one time, I lost count.. just destroyed them, trying for a steel hilted flint dagger.. same with the Truncheon, that NEVER dropped. Only saw one short sword of obeteration too in all that time. Just saying. | ||

yeah i can see how you'd assume the drop rates from there are officially correct | |||

It sounds like a bug in the RNG/loot tables.
I owned a LOT of steel hilted flint daggers on live. I used them as pet weapons. | ||

Tranquil Staff dropped maybe once a month on live. Here it is about one a day.
Wu's Trance sticks used to be rare as fuck. Probably also around one a month. Here there are several that drop each day. Many drop rates suck ass on this server. I don't know what you expect on an emulated server. If you have proof that something is wrong post it in bugs, wait 6 months and it may get fixed. Asher | ||

Trance stix were uber common on live -- with yard trash xp grinds in COM usually netting the group one or two of them. | |||

Ok im gonna put this info here after this quote and in this tread. This is one of the "strat bullets" of someone on Al'kabor who recently had a lot of time on his hands and decided to camp the tranq. staff. Posting the relevant bullet only to illustrate why something is deeply wrong if every monk on p99has a tranq staff and they are actually being sold in the bazzar: Quote:
