Miscellaneous: Guard Ledshin should NOT see invis

Potus · #1 03-04-2014, 05:48 PM

I played a Necro since beta and I never once had a guard in W.FP break invis on me at the gates. That is why I was surprised to see Guard Ledshin of all people see invisibility. He simply does not, nor do any guards that patrol the WFP Gate house. The only guy that should see invis is Fikus who is inside the militia house. If you stay away from the militia house you should not have a problem traveling through WFP invisible.

Evidence:

Everlore page for Guard Ledshin -- No mention of See Invisibility. He is so unimportant someone posts:

If he saw invis and could kill lots of people at the gate, don't you think there would be lots of people talking about him?

Bestiary Page for WFP on Allakhazam -- A comment about guards states that "Only one guard sees invis in WFP." That would be Guard Fikus, not Ledshin.

You'll notice that Guard Fikus's page on Allakhazam says he sees invisibility. It's stated as part of his description here. A guy says this about Fikus seeing invisibility:

Why would he say this if Ledshin saw invisibility and patrolled half of WFP? That's because Ledshin never saw invisibility. [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

Let's look at Guard Ledshin's Allakhazam page:

You'll see the two comments that caused Ledshin to become see invis. But somehow in the entire history of West Freeport Guard Ledshin was never updated to see invisibility. Isn't that something? Fikus is labeled as See Invis by Alla (as late as 2002), but never Ledshin. In fact two other people comment after the original posters and never mention him seeing invisibility. That means it's likely those earlier posters were entirely mistaken.

EQAtlas Dark Race Travel Guide -- They do not mention a guard seeing invis at the West Freeport gatehouse, and provide this tasty quote:

EQ Atlas wouldn't say that if Ledshin was patrolling the gatehouse and aggro'ing on every invis'ed darkie running for the boat.

It's quite obvious Ledshin never saw Invisibility. No one except 2 old posts on Allakhazams, that Allakhazam's own website never verified, states that he did. Nothing on Everlore, nothing on EQatlas, and people on Allakhazam's page for WFP mobs don't even mention Ledshin.

Guard Ledshin doesn't see invisibility.

Last patch, I believe. I was pretty surprised to have a guard wail on me at the gates and trigger every other guard to instagib my poor Iksar.

If a player charms and casts a buff/gives an item that grants see invis, would it work on a mob?

I know that some buffs like Haste stay on charmed mobs after charm breaks. Not sure about See Invis. I presume it would, but would wear off after the duration wore out.
