Can any class solo the Fungi tunic camp?

It was a duo camp throughout most of Kunark as invis-pulling worked quite a bit differently.

So for like 8-9 years of P99 history, no one knew what they were doing, and then just magically a year ago (or something like that) everyone figured out how to duo it? [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

I was duoing it 12 years ago, god you are thick as bricks.

TLDR old blue server nonsense
This man knows. It was a trivial camp to do post epics with mage pet. Zero effort.

It was like a step short of trivial to do pre epics with a full cobalt warrior like oly who could invis me with legs. Long fight but it was impossible for him to die in the 20 second cast time for donals, as long as I was out of line of sight of king for those shitty tab stun spells.

Before we had cobalt legs and stuff, it was a full group or even 10-12 man affair when we were farming staffs early kunark. Plenty of screenshots of those days laying around.

Put it this way, I still have a few accounts of mules full of fungis I've forgotten the passwords to as the camp was so simple and forgettable and we had unlimited plat. When the price went under 110k on blue, it 'wasn't worth farming them' anymore. That was like 2012 mid or thereabouts.

Relevent to today 2023 P1999
It's trivial again now with velious AC. A very modestly AC focus geared monk , mostly EC items and a 60 cleric can trivialise the camp. It takes no effort or skill. Fungi, tstaff, pantherskin, a bag full of probes, CoF etc. The usual twink monk nonsense.

A 1500ac monk makes a mockery of the whole camp. Levelled my cleric from 50 to 60 there almost exclusively with at least 25 different people playing the cleric at various times. Took under 1 minute to explain how to do the job each time. Only Slopster and one other guy when totally stoned fucked it up reliably. There is no combo currently that is anywhere near as trivial as monk/cle. Two near BiS monks is close but you can still RNG a cycle with some bad luck on a double illis shaman, max adept, and a king up and lose an hour. Good geared warrior is also solid there as war/monk, just gotta bind up to 70/breastplate to 100, and camp until pathers split each cycle.

God I miss invis pulling and even monk sneak pulling. Was such fun emergent gameplay if a little trivial.

Dotting something as an SK and then using your FD, circlet, and/or hide to single it through an entire zone was peak OP.

Also made it very easy to train groups or individuals you hated with little to no evidence, which I never did, GM's.

Infinite z access on taunt/beg was good with this. Could pull knight down to basement from tower in unrest and all sorts of other crazy fun [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

There is still a nice bug you can abuse from guardian water near NG camp to crit pac king through floor and only he pops up, other stuff paths the long way & trains up so you gotta get a crit, get king pulled off you, and cycle camp.

But the riot alt iksar monk in negative AC earrings brigade cry and petition it every day. They use it to pull plane of hate, warp doze wurms through doors, pull HoT, etc regularly though.

Monk sneak pulling was fucking legit.

Dude, chill.

P99 has had a long history. You can remember a time when weird bugs let everyone duo the camp, and I can remember a time when it was mainly a group camp ... and we can both be right.

April- May, 2011 - Daltheb level 60 monk (Fastest Jav east of the Mississippi ) and I a donals cleric would duo king regularly. I am pretty sure we pulled to safe rock at the time. Using a bit of water los and monk pulling abilities cerca p99 2011.

During early kunark you were forced to fight in his room to hold the camp if you were contested for the camp. Once the staffs stopped dropping more relaxed rules of keeping ph dead by camping in tube rooms became meta.

if only we could consult the wiki to learn how to duo king
