Sleeper Awakening?!

[Ravager]

Who cares? Everyone will get more chances to cry about it again and again with the recycle server.

waking the sleeper should wipe the server clean. everyone gets booted to level 1 west freeport with a training note in hand

this is actually a genius idea

I voted yes, but then I looked at Kerfyrm's loot table on the wiki...

Known Loot:
None

Can someone ELI5 the consequences/benefits of awakening this rave light show of a boss mob?

the reddit combined with the total ignorance of classic EQ mechanics has turned my cringe up to 11

Okay guys, here's corrections to an abhorrent amount of misinformation in this thread:

- Yes one guild, without help, can wake the sleeper. <Rampage> has already killed all 4 warders, but we've always left at least one up.

- If all 4 Warders are killed Kerafyrm spawns.

- If Kerafyrm spawns the Warders no longer respawn.

- There are a total of 7 named mobs in ST:
1. Master of the Guard (non-warder)
2. The Progenitor (non-warder)
3. The Final Arbiter (non-warder)
4. Ventani the Warder
5. Tukaraak the Warder
6. Nanzata the Warder
7. Hraashna the Warder

- Every named in ST drops Primal weapons. Warders drop up to 4, non-warders drop 1.

- When Kerafyrm awakens the non-warders remain unchanged. They still spawn & still drop 1 primal per kill.

- You're getting confused with "changing loot tables" and "prismatics." This was a change implemented near/during Luclin and had absolutely nothing to do with the Velious progression timeline.

This is the classic implementation that we use, just to ensure there is no confusion.

Primals will still have a small *chance* of dropping 1 from each of the golems, but that is it. Kerafrym and the warders will be gone and nothing will take their place.

This is such a shitty mechanic for an mmo

Xev was awakened by Quiet Solitude, don't even remember a quild name hawkstone....

[Artaenc]

IIRC Sleeper was awakened by Order of Redemption on Fennin Ro.

[JDNight]

So given the feedback that Allunova gave, the vast majority of players will have to wait for the next iteration of a classic server to have a chance at seeing the sleeper. Once Rampage gets Primals for all its members.... Adios Sleeper!
