That's not too far off from other items that are in classic with similar stats, honestly.

Crude Stein in Oggok is definitely out of whack, same with Testament of Vanear, Paw of Opolla, etc

yeah exactly, and those are some of the most famous items in the game, and somehow this amazing priest mana/mr number skirted by under the radar?

I don't think so Tim. [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

Wowwwwww That right there is exactly why I play project1999 so that I can learn about things like this. Wow. This NPC is in and the quest does work, however obviously the scroll was patched out. I would say that this quest would be an excellent addition to green99 as it is comparable in reward to other quests, despite it being totally OP also in its obscurity, teaching players about this stuff by rewarding them with the ability to get some plat from it for learning it is exactly what I think classic Everquest should be all about! Bravo good find WOW!!!

Amazing I never new about this quest. it can't be a coincidence that the reward is the spell that is needed to research the summoned heatstone spell. I always assumed they meant to use the more appropriate level 20 Elemental Shield spell and never bothered to correct it.

***Announcements***

The City of Paineel, home to the infamous Heretics of Erudin, is now
available via the Optional Patch. In addition, Erudites may now also be
Shadowknights in addition to the other classes available to them. All
Erudite Necromancers, Shadowknights, and Clerics who worship the God of
Fear, Cazic-Thule, now start in the City of Paineel. As such, if you
wish to create a character of this type from this point forward, you
*must* download the Paineel zone-files via the Optional Patch.

- The "Feign Death" spell, when cast by a Necromancer, will now have a
fixed duration. The Necromancer will receive several warnings prior to
the spell wearing off. This change was necessary because some
Necromancers found a way to gain experience through their pet while
being AFK for an extended duration, such as being in bed for the night.
Note: This does not affect Shadowknights or Monks.



Seems at some point...FD didnt have a duration, then did, then didnt?

Nope was very common to go into LGuk and see necros afk camped for hours on end.

haha Yeah I am glad it was discovered, thanks p99.

I just ran it to see how fast you could repeat the quest and it is a complete 6 minuet round trip that's 35 plat an hour with nothing that could slow you down.

The time from launch to that patch is 7440 hours and if you ran that quest exclusively like a bot it would net you approx 260,400‬ Platinum lol

I am glad to have the knowledge of this power but none should wield it on green. [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

Whew reading through old patch notes is quite an adventure! There's so many subtle and temporary bugs that would be kinda fun to experience (Runed Fighter's Staff usable by Warriors for a while, or a few days where Bard's could charm Dragons / Deities, buffed newbie city guards getting see-invis accidentally, cast-time nerfs to Staff of Temp Flux to prevent players from spamming it for LD griefing).

If you ever really wanted to ramp-up the difficulty curve for Kunark (which might be interesting to do given how knowledgeable and skilled everyone is now), this was active the first ~3 months of the expansion:

Keyed Dungeons

The key for Charasis (Howling Stones) is now NODROP per the patch message from a couple of weeks ago. Furthermore, when your character dies, keys for Charasis, Sebilis, and Veeshan's Peak, will no longer remain with your corpse, but will instead return with your character to its bind point. We made this change to reduce the difficulty and corpse-loss potential of these zones, and eliminate the need to do the key quests multiple times.

[Jibartik]

Wow that'd be 3.5(ish) months of keys remaining on corpses. I would like to see that in actually, that'd be very interesting for raiding and grouping during kunark launch.

[Baler]

I imagine it would be similar to Plane of Sky zone in during Blue's prime population peak.
An island of corpses.
