I see many people advocate for changes based on what is logical. Would it be logical for an epic that is so hard to reward a pet that hits for 81? Sure. But that's not how this works.

The goal is classic. It's classic for mages to be sub-par unfortunately. I don't think anyone disagrees that if mage pets were a lot stronger they would be a more viable, balanced class. But that just isn't this timeline.

Mage epics were nowhere NEAR as rare on live. Ffs, they were, like, mandatory, class-defining items.

When epics were introduced the earth staff was a rare drop off Inny and only Inny. After awhile Magi P'Tasa started dropping it. When this happened there would be 2-3 groups in hate killing mobs. Male rev's were place holders.

First entry on Alla's referencing the earth staff (March 2000): https://everquest.allakhazam.com/db/...1597&p=14#m662

Then a month later (April 2000): https://everquest.allakhazam.com/db/...597&p=13#m5261

March 18, 2001 patch: https://everquest.allakhazam.com/db/...98494021639205
Quote:
Innoruuk has now been buffed to a Velious-style high level encounter. He hits for approx. 600, and no longer drops the loot table above (Vexthorne, Elemental Staff). His loot table has now been moved to his underlings, and drops new gear.
Here's an alla's post referencing moving it from Inny to P'Tasa around March 2001: https://everquest.allakhazam.com/db/...98487969321674

and then somebody looting it from a male forsaken rev. May 2003 https://everquest.allakhazam.com/db/...05318293789946

Additional notes from comments (Sept 20, 2000): https://everquest.allakhazam.com/db/...96946808225214
Quote:
The Earth Elemental staff used to drop off Innoruuk but now seems to drop off some other inhabitant of hate (or perhaps just someone who follows innoruuk). The Dirt of Underfoot would most likely now drop off Slix The Mighty (He says "Slix something or other") in The Hole. The broom and shovel quests are from solusek ro and are well documented.
Take this source with a grain of salt (Nov 2000): https://everquest.allakhazam.com/db/...m9748048691410

I was just in general chat till the servers went down for this latest patch and the GM who wrote the mage epic was there talking a little about it.....and a couple of comments he made were actually informative in a round about way :P Mages were hollering about Talenor not dropping the burning embers still or any of the other mobs we suspect and he noted that the quest isnt broken and that people are makeing some big assumptions about what drops the embers. He also stated that although Inny is the only one atm who drops the earth staff, in the near future, his minnions WILL be dropping it. In short, there is still hope for us yet...dont give up all [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

the spergs were spread the fuk out but now they're the only type that would come back for nostalgia hits and are condensed on two servers

I leave for....8 years and this is what happens to my beloved epic pet? At least mages still have Bristlebane's Bundle & Monster Summoning.
