Regarding the treasure camps, if a particular camp is good for multiple things (such as one that drops junk to vendor) but also has the potential to drop items to sell to players, how should it be listed? multiple places? only one?

I'd be curious to hear which camp this is. In general I'd lean towards just putting the entry in the items area. Almost every mob in that area also drops small loot of some value, but that's not usually worth mentioning.

However, if a single camp/area has both "named" mobs that drop valuable loot AND those mobs drop a lot of Fine Steel weapons or whatever, I could see listing it in both places.

Personally the only example I can think of this off the top of my head would be Droga. Camps like Soothsayer Dregzak (Earring of Essence) also involve killing lots of not-named goblins, and they drop lots of Fine Steel and goblin armor.

Currently the wiki only has the named part as an entry. But I could see either A) adding a note to all the Droga named camps saying something like "and fine steel weapons and goblin armor also drop; they sell well to vendors" ... or B) adding a single entry for all of Droga under the "Coin/Trash Item Camps (to be sold to vendors)" section.

Ultimately it's up to you as a wiki-editor to decide [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.] I just think you should strive to do whatever will be best for players reading the guide, and adding every single named camp in Droga as separate entries in "Coin/Trash Item Camps (to be sold to vendors)" would seem to be going too far (it wouldn't really be helpful to readers) ... but the other options all sound good to me (or you're welcome to come up with another solution).

My example would be the faerie dragons in WL: they drop quest gems such as crushed flame emeralds which have value to players, while also dropping plenty of gems that are only good for vendor prices (but can be 30pp or more). Note: yes i just gave a free edit to somebody if they want to enter with this information.

Most of the mobs that drop velious quest gems drop other gems that still have vendor value. Players may farm them with the intent of seeking quest gems and still come away with reasonable cash in vendor trash, or they could treat the camp as a vendor trash camp (like seafuries of old) with the potential of bigger cash trades for players.

Adds:

Added Iksar Berserker Club to: http://wiki.project1999.com/Treasure...her_Players.29

Added Sarnak Berserker / War Braids to:

http://wiki.project1999.com/Per-Leve...ng_Spots_35-39

There are a few entries on OT, I wasn't sure if I should add a new line or just combine the info. It took me a lot of searching to find that static spawn when I was camping war braids so I thought it might stand out better as a new line. Sadly I am traveling so no screenshots from me, hope these edits help.

Also side note, this was easier than I thought, more edits to come!

Made my first attempt at a wiki edit for this, added Siren's Grotto to http://wiki.project1999.com/Treasure...her_Players.29

Did a decent amount of duoing there with a torpor Shaman on my rogue around 55-56, very good Flawless Diamond source. Also, got my sweet water breathing necklace there.

As a wiki-editor it's your call. Personally I'd just try and think what would be useful to people. When people look for vendor loot camps, it's typically because they don't want to deal with having to sell to players in EC. So I'd want to know if enough vendor(-only) loot drops at that camp to interest such players. If so I'd list it in both places, otherwise I'd just put it in player loot (with a note that there's also good vendor gem drops too).

And it looks like the contest is heating up!

Awesome, that last part is exactly what I want to hear! You're added.

My edit - Timorous Deep entry for evil races killing elven rangers and scouts.
Additional Notes - I love this spot. If you wrecked your Indigo Brotherhood faction from hunting in crushbone for belts, this is the place to fix it. The loot is only moderate to good when you compare to Lesser Faydark bandits or Karana Bandits w/ red sash quests. The thing that makes the spot great is no one ever hunts there, the mobs are pushovers if you can deal with the occasional root or snare, and the mob placement is amazing for a solo hunter.

Respawn time is about 18 minutes, which is fine because you have about 9 total target mobs you can whack if you really want. The beta neutral vendor being RIGHT THERE in a hut where you're camping is the icing on top. If you are a solo necro or magician, you absolutely cannot do better than this place.

Claim for contest - don't enter my name in. I just added the entry for the hell of it.

My edit - Lake Rathetear map 7 bandit area description.
Additional Notes - If you are willing to pack a some extra food and drink and make the run, this spot is amazing. Total cruise control for grabbing level 17 and getting full loot value from every drop due to the Beta Neutral ogre vendor RIGHT THERE where you're camped. Even copper / silver can be converted from a quick purchase and sale of a bronze sword for a tiny loss.

The 6:40 min respawn time is great. The red sashes that drop (about 1.5 on average per 7 bandits killed) adds up if you're willing to take full 8 or 10 slot bags in your inventory, fill up, swap full bags for empty bags in your bank, and then leave. My ranger recently went from 11-17 there, saved every sash, and made level 20 from turning in all the sashes in Qeynos. Ending cash was 450pp + from the haul (used crude stein for sales).

Warning - Do NOT rest on or near the shore edge. Kermitt or whatever, the named shadow knight froglock, will eat you. Thankfully, there's no reason to either rest or fight near the shore as you're way up on a broad ledge.

Edit - Almost forgot - if you are a Troll Shaman of Innoruuk and you scammed a quick Halfling Illusion mask from the Innoruuk Reagent Symbol quest, the Halfling Illlusion will cut the mustard in letting you turn the sashes in at Qeynos. I nearly died laughing pulling this off. As the bank in Qeynos is in the same zone as the NPC you turn the sashes in to, the Illusion duration was good enough to do a quick relay race of bag swapping and turn ins before it expired. Gating out solved any inconveniences in zoning to leave.


Claim for contest - don't enter my name for this. Entry added for the hell of it.
