Velious Spells - Community Input/Discussion

[nilbog]

As we progress through Velious (Currently on Skyshrine, btw), the npcs are fully developed except for spell drop loots. It's easier to do them in groups, per level ranges/zones as necessary after the npcs properly exist.

I try to outsource tasks which can be completed outside of the development team. Spell drop research can certainly be one of them. I was preparing to do this myself and thought I'd give community effort a chance so I can proceed elsewhere.

Velious spells: I need a consolidated list of spells that drop from release, ones added later, and ones that should only drop from certain npcs.

I expect there to be.. a few different lootIDs which can then be applied various places.

A level 60 list: A lootdrop list of only 60 spells to be aligned to level 60 'boss' npcs?
level 59-60 list?
level 55-60 ?
level 55-59 ?
level 51-54 ?
lower ones 35(ish)-44?

Should any of these include Kunark spells from Velious launch? Later?

This can be a good project due to the fact you'll ultimately be relying on these to obtain your spells.

Discuss.



Vandy has created a google doc for helping to track which npcs should drop which spells.

Velious Spells Looking for people to help participate in research for Velious Spell drops. I have a google docs spreadsheet with the information I have been collecting that anyone can view. There is a comments section and if you are logged in you can real time chat on the side. People can be added as contributors to the project or post information here to be updated.

Velious Spell Sheet

1. We need to get an accurate list of which NPCs dropped which spells.
-i.e I find evidence Composition of Ervaj only dropping from Lodizal and Woushi using wayback machine Alla , Casterrealm, Graffe

2. We need to know how many spells each Raid Boss could drop and what % chance to drop that group of spells
-i.e Lodizal would drop 2 spells, had a chance to drop a 3rd spell and even less chance to drop a 4th spell. ( 2x100%, 1x50%, 1x20% ? )

3. What spells were changed and how through the Velious timeline. There is a 2nd sheet for this. The first sheet will deal with spells that were in at Velious Launch.


Thank You

Another discussion regarding spells drops, from which zones and mobs. When i get off work tonight I can index the relative info from these, just busy atm..


Additionally:

UP: Level 54-59 Luclin spells off the DA's and Gantru's (many of which conned EVEN to me at 57, and ALL the DA's and Gantru casters summon)
Deep: Level 54-60 Luclin spells. Need 3 tanks, a healer (2 is better) and a slower. Expect to pull only to the zone line. Spell drops are quite rare, mineral drops are uncommon (ores and luclinite)
GE: Level 53-60 Luclin spells. Raid type groups for all but single room camps. Spawns are relatively staid and recurring. Most creatures in the range of level 50.
Grey, TM, AR, ME, SD: 44 - 58 Luclin spells. Rare drops off any mob in the zone, named are better.
WW: Level 55-60 Velious spells. Should be called WOW. Dragons galore. half the mobs are level 58+, most summon, many spell drops.
SG: Level 51 - 57 Velious spells. Sirens stink, but drop some nice stuff. Rarely a spell.
CS, DN, VL, WL, KD, IK, SS: 44 - 60 Velious spells. Named are better, drops are rare. Faction plays a role in all areas except VL.
ToV: Level 57-60 Velious spells (most ancients too) CoV faction is the key, spell drops off named are a given. Raid level mobs only

Here is the classic spell list on Castersrealm. You can read the user accounts of players on where they received different spell drops.

I seem to remember camping wurms in GD for spells like in the back of the caverns there. The dragons in WW dropped spells. Those were the 2 I remembered but im sure the raid mobs probably dropped them I just cant remember it.

Do need spell merchants too?

[Gwence]

only kunark spells I can recall is Sunstrike could drop from Sontalak, and Divine Intervention could drop from Harla Dar.

Yes, all spell merchants in Velious could be useful.

SPELL COMMENTS
LOCATION, By Big bird (4/19/2001)

This song is NOT located in 'dwarf city.' Don't go posting until you are absolutely sure.
This song is purchased from a named gnome magician in the gnome city on the gnome island in Iceclad Ocean.

Have fun and get that song.

GNOME VILLAGE, By Quelionis (3/12/2001)

This song is sold in a gnome village in Iceclad. The village is near where the dock is. The gnomes name I forget but it is probably the longest name in EQ history.
So for all you trying to sell this in EC for 150pp beat it, it cost 8plat there, and if you don't have SoV then get a bud who does to buy it!
