Agreed, however my assumption is it was changed to stop folk from turning in hundreds of Invasion Plans for faction farm.

THis resulted in me losing a ring 8 turn in once, as someone turned in like 30+ and I got trained and Gloradin was killed.

Damn don't know why I never though of this, I saw someone that was mass spawning and AoEing them all dead, was always wondering why, I thought he was farming orc fang earrings and frozen orbs to sell. Faction makes a lot more sense.

Although the invasion plans are not lore so its still possible to do that strat, just takes a bit more time to farm the inputs.

The game's zones were itemized by different people, so there's no logic to most of it.

That said, I'm in favor of not every town having every item. Adds local color to the world. Although unfortunately, trade skills were mostly underpowered in EQ.

Troll Shaman still have a hometown Alchemy vendor though, I'm not sure why that person said it's off the table for them. Grabah is supposed to have herbs for "Stat, Aura and Blood of Wolf potions", according to EQ Trader data from the era. Ogguk isn't far away and should have the rest of the ingredients.

Removing the regular forge from Grobb, and removing vendors that sell blacksmithing materials from Oggok? Whyyy?!?!

As a lowly Ogre SK trying to train blacksmithing I have to run to Grobb to buy materials, then run back to Oggok to do the combines. Seems a bit ridiculous.

I liked how human cities had the most developed tradeskill infrastructure. Seemed a good trade off for being blind and having crap stats for most classes [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

Thanks for the update!

Really appreciate the effort to bring consistency to the Plane of Hate Mini rules. The clarification regarding abuse of double invis and aggressive tagging is especially welcome — it's great to see steps being taken to reduce RMT-driven behavior and improve fairness for regular players.

It might be helpful to have a brief FAQ or example list in the future, so players (especially newer ones) can better understand what specific actions are considered violations.

Thanks again to the team for actively maintaining the integrity of the game!

Look in the upper-left corner: see where it says "Project 1999: Classic EverQuest"?

That "classic EverQuest" part is never going away, no matter how many people complain. If you don't like how the alchemy items ... or any tradeskill items ... or anything else ... work, then you should blame the Verant developers back in '99. The goal of this place (except when it comes to Enchanters) is to make the game like it was back then.

Well said. Hopefully they can start working on these items and make them more classic.
