Holy hell, some of you suffer from late stage illusions of grandeur.

Where do you get off claiming that you alone have the right to hunt in Blackburrow, what level do you feel that others are no longer allowed to hunt for a quest item that....holy shit, gives them experience? Are we talking like a perma-ban from zoning into Blackburrow once you hit lvl 9? Maybe lvl 12? How about lvll 15? Perhaps you are feeling generous and will let anyone under level 18 kill mobs there? Where exactly do you draw the line on your douchebaggery? I am very curious to know this.

This is not your personal playground and you have no right to tell the rest of the server to GTFO of Blackburrow just because their character levels do not adhere to your personal preferences. Everyone has equal right to anything that is within their ability to camp and if you don't like that either man up and do something about it on P99 Red or go find another server that supports this level of childishness. You are going to have one chaffed asshole when you hit 60 and try to raid if this is your approach to the server.

Was a MTG reference(probably a poor one) but you are certainly correct [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

"Illusions of Grandeur" is a Magic card (which I just added to my Zedruu commander deck). "Delusions of grandeur" is an English language phase, from which the Magic card took it's name.

The only reason Blackburrow has value as a leveling zone is because of the fangs. The exp from fangs are good enough to get you from 12-20. Why would anybody who can use the fangs (<20) not kill mobs who drop them?

They're grinding off fangs instead of blues.

Pin,

As far as find information to be able to put in a bug report, I did plenty of the dirty work for you already. I showed earlier in the posting (and proved mathematically) how much experience gnoll fangs give now. I then found a 2001 post and did an experience comparison of then and now and found that based off that one example (and I said more is needed but you'll need to go look), the experience is 3x more now than it was then. If you can find a few more examples, you'd have a good arguement for a bug report.

I didn't hand that over because I agree with you though. Like Yonec, I do not feel anyone has the right to tell someone that is playing within the rules where they can/can't hunt. I think trying to implement non-classic code is ridiculous. I did it because if the experience per fang is not classic, it should be changed.

There will be times when lower level mobs drop something you need for yourself or another character. It could be bone chips for necros/SKs, quest items, tradeskill items, specific loot or even just faction from killing the mob.

Get used to camps you want to yourself being packed because deep down you know you want them for the exact same reason, they either give better than average experience or loot. I'm quite sure you aren't deleting your gnoll fangs. Qeynos Hills and Everfrost are on either side of blackburrow and you can level from 1-50+ in either one of them so don't give the BS excuse that anyone is preventing you from leveling.

I was turning in fangs not long ago and thinking to myself there is no way they gave this much exp on live. The quest wasn't worth doing anymore at lvl 12 as I remember it. Well now you can completely skip lvl 12 with a stack of fangs or is it less? People stay here till lvl 24 farming fangs because its better exp then anything else. Path of least resistance. Especially if you're a non-solo class who doesn't want to wait 3 hours for a group or sit 20 min between kills. I recently left BB on a lvl 12 alt, remembering from my live days that this was when bb slowed way down for exp. After an hour or 2 of bandits and wisps (even including quest turn ins) I calculated that blackburrow is still like 2x faster. At lvl 16 one fang is probably more than a solo kill on a yellow con. It is a jerk move to steal green mobs from the lowbies but the reward is just as good if not better (bc greens die fast).

I'm gonna post this in all the blackburrow posts.

I took my Iksar Necro there at lvl 4...after i trained meditate...killed gnolls till i was just a sliver away from lvl 12....got exactly 300 fangs.

Upon turn in, got all of lvl 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, and about 90% of lvl 20. Not too bad i guess.
