And I understand the frustrations above with them changing the QM cycle in the middle of the server's operation, but that's not unlike many of the changes made as information surfaces that something is not classic. Phase Spiders were made to summon, which made PSC's go from 1k to like 2500 because bards can't easily swarm them now. Things like that. It's how the server has always operated. I've been in Kingdom since Kunark, so well before the QM change, and while I didn't take an interest in cloaks until AFTER the change, I can say that based on guildchat we didn't do Peggy Cloak farming very often. When we did it wasn't to sell, either.

The other way was less disruptive but you had multiple guild farming it non stop for guildies, alts or selling loot rights for $4k. So now you have people clearing out the entire zone and selling loot rights for 10-15k and mages sitting at the biggest bottleneck in their epic journey. | |||

Cycle Spawn % an elephant - 9 a lion - 16 a lioness - 12 a mist wolf - 3 a shadow wolf - 6 centaur archer - 2 centaur courser - 1 centaur sheltie - 3 aviak avocet - 2 aviak darter - 1 aviak harrier - 1 aviak rook - 1 an escaped Splitpaw gnoll - 12 a cyclops - 1 Quillmane - 7 At least three of these are killed by players. There is also another post saying that Treant and Centaur Chargers can also be a PH. I see lots of druids killing avocets across the zone. So yes, I would beleive if you followed the strategy to get QM to spawn it would be considered zone disruption. SECOND STEP - find the PH My method was to spend up to ten minutes trawling the zone for all of the mobs that might be the PH. From other threads and my brief experience, I believe they include: an escaped splitpaw gnoll a treant a mist wolf a shadow wolf a lion a lioness an elephant an aviak egret an aviak avocet a centaur sheltie a centaur charger a cyclops an aviak harrier Gather them in your wake, like a toddler's ride-on-train, until you have a good 15-20 mobs. I actually ignored treants in my first big pull, hoping to avoid faction hits. If gathering up 20 of these mobs is not zone disruption I don't know what is | |||

The Treant is a random spawn within the PHs, so it's not like people are running around the zone hoping that a random Treant will spawn and they can kill it for EXP. If you're doing Treants you're doing the two static spawns. There is maybe one wandering Aviak I believe that comes close to KFC that is a PH. So someone exping at KFC MIGHT occasionally kill that if they happen to see it and it's a type of Aviak that gives them EXP. Your argument that mass killing wandering low level trash mobs in a large open zone where no one exps being zone disruption is one of the dumbest I've seen on these forums in a long time. | |||

If the original devs had designed Quillmane spawn an expansion or two later it'd probably work more like velious spawns with an expanding window and a chance to skip and a random spawn location, except condensed to hours instead of days like lodi/kozz. No PH.
i think the intent was always just for the mob to rarely but randomly be up for people wandering the zone looking for him, not something you camp. this experience can never be replicated on p99 because the server is too top heavy with infinite alts all chasing the same item at the same time. and it would never happen with the original spawn mechanic because the convoluted ph system was clearly made with the expectation that random newbies would be routinely killing random trash in SK, which never happens. it didnt even happen on live that i remember except maybe early in vanilla (idk, didnt play that far back). the devs grossly misjudged what content would be utilized and how or didnt care if future expansions made it obsolete. the new p99 quillmane is definitely more classic, but im glad all my alts have cloaks. the new farming method doesnt sound horrible though. gl cloak hunters | ||
