You could do 30-45 in that time casually abusing the gnoll scroll quest, which apparently is not classic

I was able to find a full spawn dump for the old Splitpaw from an old ShowEQ dump. It does not contain locs but it does contain a full mob list (minus Nixx, sadly) and count of mobs, their level ranges and their low/high hp, which will be very useful.

From the above spawn dump, I discovered that the original Paw had a roaming gelatinous cube, like runnyeye, and other low level mobs, I guess to add "character" to the dungeon.

These posts detail mobs getting stuck on a raising gate in paw, so confirms that bats, gnoll guards and the Gelatinous Cube(s?) would roam up and down the dungeon.

There is a raising gate in PAW that routinely traps bats, gnoll
guards, and gelatinous cubes.

I know how you feel. There are gates with bars in Paw. If you move
into one just as it goes up, you get sucked up into the ceiling. I
got stuck with a gelatinous cube and a bat as well.
All you can do is
/petition. You can't stand, sit, camp, or move.

And an explanation of the high shamans and their PHs, and where they spawn:

Quote:
6/18/99

The two named shamans as well as the two named High Shamans sometimes carry
this staff. Ren'Rex spawns on the lower level in a room at the top of a
staircase - Lenrel spawns in a room off a room behind the four shaman
circle. These are replaced rarely by Grisok and Phido respectively. I'm
not sure what the real difference is between the "shaman" and "high shaman"
other than the fact that the high shamans seem to be several levels higher.
Last night we had the good fortune to kill both high shamans (yellow to me
at 16) and only one carried the staff. Incidentally, you'll know when they
have (or so you think) because they're actually carrying it. Early in my
days, I had the misfortune of killing Ren'Rex, getting excited because it
was my turn to loot and ending up with a worn great staff.

Again, I'd like to suggest that if everyone's goal is to get Infected Paw, then in theory we should all want to make things as easy as possible for the devs (as well as for each other), and a wiki page would be far more suited to the task than an (eight page and growing) forum thread.

Just dumping endless quotes and links is great ... if all you're trying to do is assemble a giant pile of quotes and links (that someone else will have to do all the work of digging through). But if we just put a tiny bit more effort in than simple copy/pasting, we could have something a lot more valuable ...

Yes, true. We're all essentially dumping puzzle pieces out onto a table right now, aware that a lot of them are still missing. But there's more tedium in trying to put the picture together before we've got a good idea of what the end result is supposed to look like, and confirmed that most of the outer edge pieces are here, so to speak, and that they don't belong in some other box.

That this thread exists at all helps cut down time spent searching elsewhere, often in vain.

I've been updating the wiki page more.

Found more Zixx text:

This is very interesting. I was in Splitpaw killing Rin Rexx and the
SplitPaw guy, when I got the Ruby Pendant off of him, that drow popped up
and killed everything in sight. This guy had a pet and magical skin. After
he killed us he said "The Circle will be most pleased"

Seriously, it looks really great. If there's still any wiki work to do in about a week (when I finish writing this class) I'll totally be down to help, but it looks like you've already done an amazing job of it and don't need me at all.

Of course, there's no guarantee Nilbog will use any of this, but if he does I can't help but think that wiki page will so much more useful to him.
