Why are there no longer Manastone and other item drops?

[Olucon]

One of the reasons I came here is to get some of the old school gear Sony nerfeed out of the game. Why is the Manastone, and other high end items no longer in the game? I thought this was the reason for this server, in order to let players camp that?

They were in the game per the time line

[myriverse]

Yeah, by the timeline, we're circa just before Velious hit. Manastones were long gone by then.

Manastone, guise, mistwalker, boxes of abukar among other legacy items stopped dropping long ago in accordance with the timeline. Currently both servers are at the end of Kunark awaiting release of Velious. There is hope, but no confirmation, that eventually after Velious has been released for a while that a new server will be opened that will include these drops per the classic timeline.

If you want the chance to have these as lootable items, you're gonna be waiting a year or more at the very least.

Scroll down to the Aeolwind timeline to see a list of the various nerfs and item removals in the timeline.

Ton Po's, Bladestorm, That one maul from emp, pre nerf fungus staff, that dagger from Mayong, lockets, totem of wisened spirits, uhhh...

There's probably a list somewhere.

But the important thing is, internode did not receive an oakwynd. This server needs at least one ranger who can do some bow damage--though maybe in hindsight he wasn't the right one :3

that dagger from Mayong

Supposedly, that dagger was another obtainable reward in the rogue epic quest storyline. If you give Stanos's head to Hanns Krieghor instead of the General, you get the Fanged Skull Stiletto. Don't know if it was implemented here. I couldn't talk my guild into killing him for me to find out.

Well back in BDA, Tarathiel was the first person on server to get a Stanos head. Stanos might have been a BDA server first come to think of it. Best odds I ever got, 1 in 3 and still lost grr. They hadn't activated the mask quest so he had to petition to get it fixed. I'm almost positive that the FSS quest will need a similar patch because it's even less well known.

Curious, if everything is on the appropriate timeline, how long will we get access to PoM quests/drops before they revamp/disable them. (once Velious is released)

Three months?
