- The Ant's Potion may now be used anywhere.

Yea i didnt mean right now, was saying in general.

This place is so hard to get around in now, have we found conclusive evidence that shrink should work in High Keep?

[Ossigor]

Shrink should be flagged for Dungeon and not 'Indoor'

I've been digging through old sites and can't find any proof, but I remember people shrinking in Karnors which was 1) Outdoors 2) a dungeon 3) before the patch that made shrink castable everywhere

Will keep looking.. my fatty is leveling in HHK right now, I feel the pain

EDIT:

thought i had somethnig http://www.shadowcouncil.com/2001/01...Gets+Legs.aspx but alas this looks to be after the change

Both Highpass and Highkeep are considered to be outdoor zones:

However, it's not considered to be a dungeon:

A few things to note; 1. Even though this zone acts as a dungeon, even with a heavy XP bonus, it is actually considered an outdoor zone. This means you can cast SOW and other outdoor only spells.

The difference here is that Karnor's is a dungeon. PoAir is also a dungeon. hence the pictures with shrunken people in them. In fact, all the images are of dungeons but sadly Highkeep isn't one.

The EQcircle link confuses indoor with dungeon, as if the two cannot coexist. They use the fact that SoW can be cast as explanation of why it isn't a dungeon, when you go on to mention two other places that allow SoW and shrink.

This is true. That article wasn't that great, just the first mention I could find about it being a dungeon. I should not have used it as an example.

I guess what would be more noteworthy is that we know that the pictures that were posted are all of dungeons and none of the pictures take place in Highpass Hold.

Welp, should still work for MM and Unrest then which currently, last time I was there about a week or two ago, I was unable to shrink.

[Brut]

This needs a bump. Remembering more than well that on live circa classic/Kunark era, I lost my shammy's level19 in Crushbone and wanted the spell level back real bad so I could keep shrinking in the Throne Room (due to ogres being unable to squeeze into the crush tower behind the chair). Also know it was pre-velious since I didn't hit 24ish on the shm until Velious opening, this was before that.

Shrink wasn't strictly an indoors thing, it was about zones flagged as dungeons.

Most hard to find proof of this though, grr.

Last comment on that mentions Blackburrow being a zone where it works, ina year 2000!

[Nerosys]

I guess all the people posting screenshots dont realize shrink pots can be used outdoors

FAD.
