Your just getting started. Get yourself a sock and some of your favorite mountain dew beverage.

I know that feeling...You're in "Mob Camping Hell".

When the mob finally pops, you'll think you're hallucinating.

This is one of the biggest flaws in classic EQ's game design. When it's statistically faster and easier to farm the platinum and buy an MQ than it is to do the actual content for a quest/item/etc. it's bad design.

When were MQs disabled in the EQ timeline? Anyone know?

It sounds like the MQ price should be higher.

What does it go for? 10k? For a mob that takes 78+ hours to camp?

[Tunabros]

its 10k average

and you are lying if it takes you 80 hours for this camp lol

Not necessarily. Whether it's easier to farm the plat depends on what class you are. Some people might prefer to camp it rather than MQ it, for a myriad of reasons; MQ prices aren't set in stone, you have to depend\wait on somebody offering one, you have to hope that if you pay for the MQ you couldn't have just camped it yourself instead and gotten him in 2 pops, which happens all the time. Some people actually like doing the harder thing instead of the easier thing in everquest, and that's their prerogative. If they designed the game to just beep-boop minmax every conceivable scenario, none of us would likely be playing here. I think that's actually pretty good game design, albeit by accident possibly. But so many things in eq are like that.

I did PS twice. First time, got it in 2 pops. Second one took 6-7 spawns.

I've camped PS a few times, but never sit there for more than 40mins - 1 hour. Def wouldnt pay 10k for it either. Esp if my guild wasnt really pushing to raid VP

Camps like this are so dumb. All of the NPC's outside Sebilis should have a chance to spawn pained soul. I've always thought would be a cool area for groups to hunt in, running around the haunted buildings within a jungle setting and getting the chance at a very valuable drop, plus being right next to Seb if you want to go there. Missed opportunity.

This is incredibly lucky.
