Solo camps where you can just alt-tab back in to kill something every few minutes are chill

afaik no one outside the p99 team knows, new green might launch tomorrow or it might launch never. I don't think there's been official word on it since 2019

They've upped spawns to compensate, I tried to buy my poison spells at the shaman vendor in Innothule yesterday and could not get through the wandering kobold hunter hell. I'll bet turning in lightstones in Ro is a nightmare too

yeah original EQ was dark as hell, especially if you were one of the human races. I remember needing a torch to find my way into blackburrow

Quarm got an article in PC Gamer: https://www.pcgamer.com/why-the-original-1999-version-of-everquest-is-still-one-of-the-best-mmos-to-play-today/ Secrets has further lowered dungeon respawn times from 8 to 5 minutes "in anticipation of new player influx" which seems a little aspirational lol. Good time to farm for your Paw of Opolla though

insider posted:Think they are turbo increasing spawn times and drop rates for the legacy items. Will it? I never played past Kunark but if the end state is PoP I think everything is outclassed or neutered by then Manastone - doesn't work in planes or expansion content, definitely has a impact on pre-planar content with every caster having one Rubicite BP - Ceremonial Iksar Chestplate regen is better, fungi tunic regen is way better Other rubicite - lots of people will be red for a while GBS - Not really relevant Fishbone Earring - Kedge is a lot more popular with everyone having easy access to this, but more and more breathing stuff gets added later Guise - lots more people can bank confidently in Neriak

If the fungi tunic is real I think the most likely explanation is some rando got it for snitching on a CSR and the PF guy decided to spend 100k or something to buy it, but any of the possible explanations are funny

New implementation of raids on Quarm, Secrets has decided to just go with instancing plus weekly/bi-weekly quakes instead of the not-instancing-but-basically-instancing daily guild rotational spawnsquote:Private Guild Instances Are Available, Quakes Return!

Well it changes three basically worthless drops to be merely Bad (and probably takes a bite out of the Pearl Kedge Totem market.) We'll see what she does with the planar stuff but the three changes so far seem pretty marginal, especially with planes releasing in a couple weeks

Fangthane posted:Population is already going down. Granted it's still much higher than I thought it might be at this point but it's been decreasing lately. I imagine we will see a sharp decline once legacy stuff stops dropping. Everyone anticipates that I figure. Would be something if Secrets decided to leave them in to stave off a population drop. Concerning the other changes I don't think there will be too much awful backlash towards onesy-twosy changes but as was mentioned the inconsistency and firing from the hip will erode player trust over time. I'm still not ruling out That One Big Change that makes pop drop over night but maybe that won't happen. Also have to figure that Secrets has some pretty thin skin if you've ever caught her streams so we shall see. I think there could be a small bump when planes come out. A ton of people are done leveling and just logging in to raid right now, Jan 1st there will actually be content again The legacy stuff is kind of a mystery right now though:   So most of it will stop dropping Jan 1st (except Jboots, those will still drop off Drelzna) but there's some other system, in addition to the casino (which I assume will be a big plat sink), which will make legacy items not significantly valuable somehow? No clue what that could be (and she says the items will "still have value" so presumably they won't just become No Drop)

cmdrk posted:it seems the warhammer of divine grace proc being changed to dismiss undead is being walked back a bit? It's tradeable and non-lore, so I guess somewhat useful as a farmed up pet weapon. Sounds like thats why the buff got put on hold, they fear the power of pets with the weapon as it was going to be implemented

Week 1 top 20 damage parse from one of the easier Plane of Sky bosses on Quarm. Pets are still king but geared rogues are getting up there. Monks usually do decent damage too, I think we had only one and he was dead somewhere

Yeah not a lot new the last couple weeks, there's probably going to be some kind of seasonal event next week (but Secrets is busy moving, so maybe not.) Biggest recent change is making the island 6 and 8 bosses in Sky drop 2 quest items instead of 1

It'll be interesting to see how many people stick with Iksar shaman after Kunark opens to everyone. For a month it'll be the only healer available to Iksar players Shaman in general is a bit stronger on Quarm than on p99 since you can give your dog weapons, if you're handing the dog weapons and keeping haste and strength up the dog will usually outdamage everyone other than the three "real" pet classes (monks and rogues will outdamage it handily once they get Sky / Kunark gear though.) I think it might fall off hard in Kunark but the extra damage should still help a lot in tandem with the rest of the shaman toolset that comes online then Flavahbeast fucked around with this message at 03:39 on Mar 30, 2024 |

I'll probably play again when Kunark starts in July. I think there will be a decent population in June when Iksar-only Kunark starts, if any of the Iksar classes interest you

I made ~15k farming giants, about 15k farming petrifin+shardwing before planes came out and another 15k or so farming djarn with small groups. Probably another 10-20k from random dungeon drops while leveling and flipping stuff in EC These numbers have changed a lot with the economy, but before planes came out I mathed out rough plat per hour from some of the big cash camps: Djarn was tops at 5700pp an hour ( Froglok King + Tactician was second at ~3100pp (rarely camped and I've heard of enchanters soloing king, but their drops are Lore so you need to deal with that) Frenzied ghoul was 1750pp (Regularly soloed by necros and I think enchanters, probably doable by shaman if you have a feign ring from Sky, not sure about mage, rare big money drop is Lore but his 300pp common drop is not, usually camped anyway) Petrifin+Shardwing was 1680pp (Very easy to solo at 50 for a pet class, but this was only a good camp because most people didn't know where/how petrifin spawned, someone in my guild discord mapped the placeholders. Also very RNG dependent, Petrifin is the big money but is a very low spawn chance so you can get unlucky and never see him. Prices on these have crashed hard so don't even bother now imo) Ghoul Lord was 1450pp Assassin + Supplier was 1250pp (Not sure anyone solos these? Usually camped) Froglok Noble was 790pp (pretty easy to solo on my shm, maybe close to giant money pre-planes since you'd be killing a lot of other frogs too, probably not worth now), I was able to pull around 800-1300 raw plat an hour killing Rathe hill giants on my shaman if it wasn't ultra crowded, so when you factor in all the time it takes to sell stuff in EC thats probably always the way to go if you're not an elite gamer who can solo the king/tactician spawn, but I have no idea how crowded Rathe gets now Flavahbeast fucked around with this message at 10:41 on May 3, 2024 |
