The Secret of Quillmane

[Waedawen]

Wow I can't believe someone actually post this on the forums


Actually, I can, because Mitic is a faggot

"keeper of the secret of quillmane" only an aspie would think it was an actual secret.

Get your cloak in 2009 and never go back to South Karana again, buddy. You're no Greenranger.

Heh, I think Mitic quit playing on blue before I even started playing on this server. I think it's good that the information of how to do Quillmane is out to the public; most people don't even have the patience to farm a cloak with the information of how it works.

Best bet I think is for guilds to do Quillmane events and just camp all the spawn points and have bards/rangers on the placeholders. Depending on how easy the camp is now with the now random calf, I may not sell cloaks anymore or I might raise my prices.

By the way and off topic, I feel like I read somewhere that the original Greenranger (the Quillmane master) was a character that got in trouble/deleveled for using MacroQuest. Is this true? If it is, there's no wonder why he could sell cloaks so cheap and get such a good cloak reputation.

Ok between going back through wayback machine and going back to 2001 quillmane entry in alla's and the posts here: http://www.showeq.net/forums/archive...php/t-371.html you can see that people were starting to put the secret of quill together(validating the guide i linked as classic spawning system). and yes zander i might have started farming quill in GoD but that guide was in a text form on a site before it was made all pretty there i just cant find it yet.


Edit: adding some quotes from alla's entry. They are definate but show that some people started to put pieces together:

After 130 hours (no, not straight through, over the course of 2 months) of camping Quillmane... i have noticed that she does seem to spawn mostly between Paw and Aviaks, once she spawned almost due west of Paw, but the rest of the times i've killed her she was southwest of paw, near a hill at approx loc -5000, +1000, so far 5 Quill kills, 5 sets of feathered leggings... i honestly don't think that the cloak is THAT rare, i think i was just unlucky... but i just wanted to offer some assistance to others so they can get their Epics, or just a nice Levi item =) another thing that really helps is to have a ranger friend sitting next to you =)

Ok I had heard about this awesome cloak and after seeing one of the rangers in our guild put his to good use I was determined to get one.

So there i was in SK, not knowing where it spawned and not knowing how often. I was just told by my ranger friend...random..

In fact a friend of mine hunted for 14 hrs non stop with a tracker with no avail.

So this is what I did.. I tracked and killed all of the named gnolls in the zone and everying unique that came up. 20 minutes later..Quill spawned..between the spires and the KFC.

I killed it ..with ease (level 53 druid) and got my cloak.....YAY!!!

This is good stuff. So it seems like the 3 spawn locations of Quillmane in the zone is probably incorrect. These posts make it sound like she should be spawning basically on the south side of the zone like that original website you linked indicates.

Lol... Did you even visit the p1999 wiki on quillmane? It has the exact loc of where she spawned before patch, 3 locations. I have done this many times with my ranger and other people and witnessed with my own eyes her spawning at all 3 loc . But honestly iv had her spawn at the hermit hill the most. Before patch, 3 locations. Now after patch? No ide afraid to log in ranger and see how bad his track was raped.

[lecompte]

Well... I think I've gotten about ... 14-20 cloaks and I do it with one person at each of the spawns on the east side of the map and my track reaches the one on the left. There has definetly been a pretty even distrubition of spawns but only if you consider it over the course of the entire thing. The first time 60% spawned in the north east, second time 60% in the south east, third time 60% in the south west.

Dude he is talking about what quillmane's spawning should be as it is on live.

Could you specificy who "Dude" is? I was responding to hatelore's post.

[Thulack]

i was responding to hatelore. What zander was referring to is the fact that the whole spawning process and spawn point is wrong on P99 as compared to live.
