No? You push somebody ahead to get first to engage, and then you clear the trash with everybody else? I mean if clearing the trash takes like an hour so you don't have time to pull the boss, then yeah that wouldn't work, but that's why I was asking "does it really take that long?"

Clearing the trash is useless and a waste of time. Using this method most of the guilds probably have the dragon dead within 10-15minutes after they get FTE I'd imagine. Unless they are intentionally waiting to troll the other guilds.

Zaphod42 posted:No? You push somebody ahead to get first to engage, and then you clear the trash with everybody else? If there's only one dragon up, sure. But yes, as has been mentioned, it takes way longer to clear (in some cases) even one flurry drake than it does to train and kill dragons. Note, this happened on live to a lesser degree during velious which is why the dragons all ended up rooted in Luclin (though they could still be moved with BFGs).

Why do you have to be a dick to such a simple question. All I asked was "does it really take that long?" and all you have to say is "yes killing flurry drakes takes very very long". No, it wasn't mentioned. We brought up racing for FTE on the last page, and nobody said anything about how long it took to clear trash. Which is why I asked. Jesus.

All I asked was "does it really take that long?" and all you have to say is "yes killing flurry drakes takes very very long". I'm not sure why you would interpret anything I said as being a dick, but the flurry drake and trash clearing time bit was mentioned before my previous post, hence why I said, in that post, that it had been mentioned. My first post was highlighting why people started doing this in the first place on p99 - and it was because when multiple dragons were up, clearing trash was both suicidal and ultimately lost you dragons. Sorry if any of that was unclear.

All I asked was "does it really take that long?" and all you have to say is "yes killing flurry drakes takes very very long". Ran out of coffee this morning? All of that was literally mentioned on this page. Raiding is dumb on this server anyways, so someone should PL some alts with me! I'm looking to level a ranger and rogue. As a Shaman, I can PL melee characters the best usually. Mages and Necros are good too. Basically I'm good at keeping you alive, haste, and nuking poo poo down past 50%. I can also loan out haste gear during sessions. Speaking of haste gear. Why does it seem Silver Chitin Hand Wraps are so much cheaper than FBSS? I see the SCHW going for 2.5k and FBSS for 4k in EC lately. I'm picking up a pair of the hand wraps for each of my alts, but the pricing just doesn't make sense to me.

Dustoph posted:
It all comes down to rarity basically but the slot also matters. Most people have better gloves than belt so the SCHW are slightly less desirable in that regard and they also drop a lot. FBSS has been out forever but the drop rate is trash and most people rather use their belt slot for haste. Similar reason Shroud of the Dar Brood is one of the most desirable haste items in the game, aside from the 34% haste it can be a back slot or chest slot haste item.

I already admitted I haven't raided. I'm not 60, I don't know how bad those are.And both of those posts were made after I asked the question, and after I made the post you quoted and replied to. Saying "it was already explained" when it was only even addressed after I asked is bullshit.

Both of those posts were prior to aparmenideanmonad saying 'as has been mentioned' (because they were mentioned before his post), which is what you tripped out on. Sorry random people on Something Awful Dot Com aren't spoon feeding you info the exact way you want it. Maybe ask your parents.

I think there are a decent amount of us still playing but spread out among various guilds. I believe the goon guild usually has a handful of people in it, but someone actually in the guild could answer that better. Too bad we can't have chat channels that we could create in game. A goon one would be awesome.

Guild's been relatively active lately with 3-6 players spread out between levels 10-60 most of the time. At this stage of the timeline, there's a lot of content you can conquer with half a group of people.

Then again, either class could duo effectively with a necro or shaman, and people have soloed to 60 in the past. If you're interested in playing EQ, post in the thread and one of us can hook you up with banded/cured silk/whatever without much effort. Longshot, but does anyone have GM alchemy? I know EJ ports are easy to get now, but I have mats for 2x Potions of the Bonefield I'd like on my warrior.
