have not listed for manastone yet, will soon, still recovering from my 26 hour jboot camp. 18 earings. was a fun time. But i absolutely hating seeing people showing up for 6 6 hours and u cant tell them anything like yo man, this is not for u if u cant stay up and like. i hate to say it but elite tier players are the only people that can camp this stuff. that and meth heads.


also have not screen shared, don't need to, This is everquest, i have lived here for 20 years..... 60 hours is nothing to to me, i have raced to 60 over 2 weeks on coffee. I enjoy this game for a reason, pure playtime and being good at the game shoots u ahead of the bad and makes the game super enjoyable because it puts you so far ahead the only people you are playing with are also other good players, which furthers your progression even more instead of being bogged down in antonican pox trains.

Your post on the boxing thread where you laughed at people who didn't screen share says otherwise.

congrats, well deserved, i have been trying to tell people these items are for powerful people and powerful people alone

it's for us pros only guys - brother ramal

Look, I understand that some items in EQ you need to camp forever to get, and I am 110% okay with that. I am also one to say that EQ isn't actually "easy" and all it takes is time to "beat". The difference between a bad player and a skilled player is vast.

I will say one thing though - there are absolute total nubs that currently have a manastone. This is a fact. There are many nubs that currently have a manastone. There are nubs with manastone right now that don't know how to and can't use them. They are not pros.

There are -actual- pros more "pro" than people who think they are "pro" but they don't play right now because they can't nolife this game for xyz reason or simply don't want to.

Sitting on a list at a mid-30s camp for two days straight has way less to do with being "pro" and way more to do with "dedication" or "no life" which really I don't want to demean or bash, it is what it is.

This attitude is way more pathetic than the actual nolifing going on.

You are such a legend. Surely Geezer helped you out with this ordeal?

Thanks for posting the data. I can't do it right now, but at some point, let's parse this data for:
Percentage of frogs versus eyes
Percentage of manastone loot on the eyes

Negative- He was in charge of poopsocks.

Yeah someone else can do the parsing. I just collected the data, then went into a coma. Please disregard any typos- Excel kept wanting to change my AM and PM labels and so I had to type each one manually and unsure if I missed any.

Glad you are putting your physical and mental endurance to the test over a 20 year old elf emulator.

Looks like manastone probably 10% chance to drop when eye. Eye is maybe 25% based off this data. Therefore 2.5% chance any given spawn. At a 28 min spawn time, to have a 50% chance of getting it would take 27 spawns, so avg camp should be 12.6 hours.

This cannot be real.

Adding some of my own numbers for a 33ish hour camp:

Not much on this server is classic. Not sure why this is surprising.

[zodium]

if the manastone drop rare was truly this low, we would need to have collected drop rate logs from like three classic servers day zero to removal of legacy items to confidently know it is in fact this low

methodology is fun
