What do the P99 Veterans think will happen to the economy on Green when Kunark drops?

[BarnabusCollins]

Fungi will be 200k+, JBB will be 50-90k, Heiro Will be 50k+, FBR will be 20k, TStaff will be 200k+

I hope people remember that epics and VP don't go in until really late in the kunark timeline. Meaning the epic rush and VP keyfarm wont happen until way later and on into Velious. Raid guilds won't be able to sell epic MQ's until their member get fed, which I believe won't be until after Velious drops. Unless they are in dire need of click recharge funds. I think VP won't be as big of a deal since most won't have keys until Velious, thereby having juicier targets and fresh /list camps to farm.

I believe the first torpor sale will be about 250k and not drop below 100k until just before the merge with Blue. The top dogs have the money, and it opens up new solo spots for them(Heiro).

Fungi's will stay above 100k through the timeline until Blue merge. Heiro's might dip a little below. I think people realize the limited use of lockets this time around and they won't be as valued.

I'm interested to see how many raiders are going to have enough extra level 50's to keep exping yet stay parked for raids, or however that's going to shake out. Screw raiding and rush to 60?

I agree'd right up till Tstaff

You see,.. Monks don't get tripple attack until the very end of velious. Meaning Tstaff is not the "op" weapon it is on blue currently.
A ton of misinformation is spread because of blue. People think hybrids are good on green for example. Not until the END of velious, end of the timeline.
Try not to spread misinformation. Keep green classic.

NEVER USE A TSTAFF AT A RAID

Keep in mind that Kunark lasted multiple years on blue while velious was being developed. This allowed the market to flood with far more kunark era items than a true classic market, as well as millions more plat in circulation over that time period than there ever was on any live server, or ever will be on green.

Edit: also just remembered the gem drop rate nerf from seafuries in OOT. For years you could farm like 2k plat per hour on that island. Not anymore. Much less plat in Green's economy.

Correct; There won't even be more than 2 (maybe only 1?) guilds with an unassisted Trakanon kill until velious is already out. Blue had two guilds (let's be honest it was really only one for a while) in VP through all the years of blue's kunark era.

Fungi will probably be a list camp because the staff is a nerfed/removed item

Welcome to Que99

You can't solo the fungi king room, so it's a bit more complicated than a bunch of people sitting in a room killing green cons with pets while AFK. It'll be interesting to see how it plays out later on when the server is saturated with level 60s, but at first you will be hard pressed to find a pickup group to do a camp that challenging. 51-60 takes longer than 1-50.

So here are the only items that could possibly be a list camp in Kunark (unless they make VP key mobs list?), and 2 of them are the Fungus King himself

Fungus Covered Great Staff - originally this right-click group-targetable Fungal Regrowth effect could be cast by anyone from an inventory slot. Especially powerful for Necromancers, among others. Replaced with Fungi Covered Great Staff which require it be equipped. to cast - in effect, making it usable by only Druids and Shamans. (ref)

Locket of Escape - allowed any class, including melee, to bind anywhere that a caster could normally bind themselves. Particularly useful for binding in the Timorous Deep firepot room, as well as in the Plane of Mischief. Removed from the game a few days after the release of Kunark.

Robe of Living Fungus - the regeneration effect on the robe was removed retroactively approximately six weeks after the release of Kunark. The only worn Fungal Regrowth armor then becomes Fungus Covered Scale Tunic. (ref)

Barbed Scale Whip - similar to the twig this 4/11 weapon is extremely powerful with the main hand damage bonus. Originally PRI/SEC, nerfed to offhand only (8/13/11 patch) and later the drop was replaced with a 8/22 whip named Scale Hide Whip.

Blade of the Black Dragon Eye - deemed too powerful to drop from reets in Old Sebilis. Moved to Veeshan's Peak as Sword of the Shissar and replaced in Sebilis with Blade of the Green Dragon Eye (ref).

Brokenskull Club - no longer drops.

Mosscovered Twig - super low delay made it extremely powerful due to the mainhand damage bonus. Made offhand only (8/13/11 patch). Later drop changed to Mosscovered Branch.

Polyphenomenal Axe - no longer drops.

Ringed Mace of the Ykesha - no longer drops.

Rod of Annihilation - removed from the game (ref).

Rod of Mourning - 29/36 two hand blunt removed from the game, replaced by the 25/36 Rod of Lamentation (ref).

Runed Fighters Staff - the damage/delay ratio coupled with the low delay and 2H damage bonus was deemed overly powerful, particularly in the hands of monks. Replaced with the Imbued Fighters Staff which doubles both the damage and delay.

Ton Po's Bo Stick of Understanding - removed from the game. Only one known to have dropped. (ref1, ref2)

Warding Star - no longer drops. Moved to Veeshan's Peak as Star of the Guardian and replaced in Howling Stones with Guardians Mace

I don't know that it matters if only 1 guild has an unassisted(read as "guilds without allies helping") kill. I think I have pals in every guild at this point. What's to keep a group of pals from killing stuff in VP regardless of guild tag?

[Faiding]

It's crazy that there were so many OP items (then nerfed) in Kunark because Verant/Sony intended it to be EQ's last and only expansion. The idea was to just let players get crazy powerful.
