Default Your Luckiest p1999 experiences!

Sometimes it feels like the 'Random Number Generator' is out to get us in eq... however on the very rare occasion it can feel like the RNG is our best friend, helping us get rare drops without having to camp or resisting that one spell at exactly the right time.

This thread is for you to post some of your favourite good luck stories. I look forward to reading what you have to offer!

One time back in kunark before Tranix was insta killed, I found him up without any guards. Killed him and he dropped a crown.

Few days ago I was on my druid and someone tipped me more than 20p for a port.

It was a day of days.

The story of my first fungi: I won the last casino in EC before it got banned. Spent 37k on rolls and won fungi and cof. Sold cof back to the guy for 90 or 95k, kept the fungi. Soon thereafter, someone else won the roll with the same guy. He didn't pay up, there was a big thread about it, and casinos for got banned.

When i was in Asgard around the time Velious was released we were contesting a Vindi pop. I was lvl 55 at the time surrounded by lvl 60 competition. I went up to the spawn point with everyone else. as Vindi spawned, i grabbed FTE and clicked my DA idol. ran him to my raid like the road runner and feigned. We got our first Vindi kill that night and i was thrilled to have helped in the accomplishment.

I know Vindi is easy to many of us now and i have seen many more kills since that date, but when your guild is coming out of kunark with weaker gear, it was a challenge.

I was awarded DA's first major raid loot (Rakusha Cloak) because Bronson ran his mouth to Rogean and got booted from the server / suspended for a short time. Cloak definitely would have gone to Bronson over me since he was an officer and contributing a lot more than I was at the time.

Also won a pre-nerf fungi staff while I was tracking Tal because I was the first person to answer some trivia question. I had asked for a Ton Po's, but got denied. Pre-nerf fungi was a pretty decent consolation prize tho.

More recently we got a Torpor off our first kill when we specifically went to try and farm Torpor for a friend.

Sure there are others, but those are the three that come to mind.

Your FTE was legendary. That was one of the more intense fights!

Default My First 100 Blows

I am not really sure I understand what you are talking about beyond luck, but I am pleased to say the fates have smiled kindly upon me of late. Not but three days prior did I get lucky with a certain Warlord during a stay in the northeast wing of the Castle Karnor.

My companions and I were engaged in an intense and thoroughly rewarding session and had just finished with our hands when I set out to check the cells. Thus far the experience had been fantastic and we'd been generously showered by the fashion faeires with an assortment of brand garments (Cobalt™, Bloodforge™, etc.).

Anyway I left the room to cool down and grab a breath of fresh air while rounding up some more locals to join us. The cells down the hall were scheduled to be re-occupied soon. I wrapped one of my sticks on the first door and it swung open! There he stood, tall, lithe and hard and white as diamonds with one fist wrapped tightly around what I instinctively knew to be his legendary staff. It was a bit intimidating when he thrust at me! My heart leaped with joy though as I dashed back to our room with him in tow.

It was intense, but he wore well before the rest of us and I cast my magical die. It could have been any number from 0 to 100, but this time it was 100! I squealed with joy and almost fainted. I stood nervously chewing my lip, trying to calm my racing heart as each of my companions rolled in turn and then I fell face first into the placid waters of ecstasy as my win was confirmed when the last roll failed to tie my glorious 100. I knelt and relieved the weary warlord of his great staff and have enjoyed every minute I've had with it since.

In retrospect I find it all the more fitting that fate should award unto me the stave of 100 blows with nothing less than a roll of 100.

That's great going, and I remember that guy.

It's the same guy who was spam randoming 1000 in the tunnel with nobody around at the death hours of the server to fabricate a winner. People are assholes.

Logged in once to find Pyzjyn right in front of me carrying her stone. Also got an earring from Grachnist immediately upon arriving at the fort a couple of days ago.
