I'd talk to someone in your favorite uber-guild, as they probably have one. Alternatively you could explore random servers, looking for one with the commands/merchants to level you up and equip you appropriately. Or, you could just start your own EQ Emu server.

Yes. You know how when you login to the game, all of the P99 servers are listed under "Legends Servers"?

If you scroll down, you'll see the "Preferred Servers", and then if you keep scrolling you'll see the "Standard Servers". Player-/guild-run servers are in that last category.

Anyone can improve the wiki! If you are new to the Blue or Green servers, you can improve the wiki to earn a "welcome package" of platinum and/or gear! Send me a forum message for details.

The thing is randomized loot doesn't necessarily solve anything. If you just randomize once, at the server's start, then everyone just makes a new wiki for your server with all the new locations.

You could randomize constantly, and that would "solve" the wiki ... but then the game would lose a lot of its fun. You'd have the same (extremely low) chance of getting an item no matter where you went, so you'd have no reason to go anywhere. Everyone would just gravitate to the easiest camps.

To really make an "un-wikiable" server you'd have to change the itemization semi-frequently. You couldn't change too often, because you'd want players to be able to learn that certain items drop in certain areas ... but you'd have to change often enough so that once people get comfortable with a particular location for item X (and mark it in the wiki), then it would change to some other location.

I dont mean random in like diablo just jostle it up butt keep the tables static

so instead of Firegiant skarlon dropping https://wiki.project1999.com/Razing_Sword_of_Skarlon raizing sword of skarlon

maybe it drops off the gobbo king who is instead a lvl 46 mob with like 10k hp who is like so high MR that even with tash and malo mez is resisted 75% of the time

The game just ate my -Mr gear

I went to give a piece of -Mr gear (rusty shoulders) to a charmed mob, right as I clicked trade, charm broke

I checked my bags for the piece as I re-charmed the mob, nope. I checked the charmed mob’s body after I killed it, nope, not there

What the fuck!!

Yeah just put a petition for it. Might take like 6 months to get it restored though. They do them in large batches. What Shoulders was it? If it was the Rusty Spiked Shoulderpads, they are easy as fuck to farm again on your own.
