You gotta play the odds. Go to SRo, pick a spot, and hope it spawns on top of you.

(Another reason for TBoots)

IMHO...

Make Jboots your number one priority as soon as your are viable to camp it in SoRo. Yes, you will see the asshat farmers, but the AC only spawns in 5 places there. Sooner or later you will get it. (Every attempt is a one-in-five chance it will spawn atop of you.)

I made it my priority asap on my main, and I never, ever regretted it. It has saved me from dying more than I can remember, and is a HUGE time-saver for travelling.

One night after running back from HG farming, I was blowing through SoRo at like 7pm gametime, and me and a level 17 were the only ones in the zone. I thought, "Screw it, I'm just gonna wait the 20 min or so and just see."

Sure enough, not one other person entered the zone, and at 9 game time, AC popped, I ran and killed it and there it was. Now I have J-Boots and an AC ring in a wrist slot, which is cool, as I had a cloth piece previously. And since I am a caster, the +5 INT and a little armor class helps.

I agree with you completely, the farmers ruin it for people that should legitamtly be able to go after it, but it is what it is, and diligence will always eventually pay off.

Just hang in there.

I feel for you, Brother!

If you and a friend are doing a couple spawn points and someone snags a Quil you generate it's only "frowned upon", but if you've got all the spawn points and someone snags it they're KSing.
This is not actually true about QM, you can wait at spawn points but if someone snags QM when he pops its not KSing and this is straight from the guides(there was a post about it sometime last year.)

Reason being is that QM is not a static spawn. Though if someone does snag in my view its a dick move.

This is exactly the right approach, not just for AC camp, but for EQ in general. This game is filled with hard/rare things that take time to get, and because they're RNG-based it can feel like you're never going to get them. But if you just keep trying, eventually you will.

Of course, the real solution to all this is to pick the correct class in the first place: Shaman, Druid, Ranger or (if you can tolerate carpal tunnel) Bard [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

Only play a select grouping of classes cause people monopolize content.

Great solution guys

Since I guess it wasn't obvious, I was not actually suggesting that everyone on P99 should restrict themselves to only playing four classes, simply because JBoots are a pain. I was just joking that a good solution to the problem was to never need JBoots in the first place.

Although I do practice what I "preach": my three highest-level characters are a Shaman, a Druid, and a Ranger ... and (coincidentally?) that's both in order by their level, and by the level that their class got SoW at (9/14/30). I would love to play a Bard but my wrists can't handle it.

I kind if thought that odd as well.

I clearly knew Lor didn't litterlly suggest only rolling 3 classes.
