For real.
While I've never gone through 7700 mobs for something like
Sterling
(how did you even keep count?) I remember two times where I went way too far with EQ. Both also on Phinny, like almost everything I've done. One was the same item, the DA idol in DoDH. Aren't there two of them in DoDH, that stack? Can't remember. Well, the one I went after was in the werewolf den, and it did indeed take a while to get it. Worth it though. Going to throw out a wild guess that it took around 500 mobs.The other thing I went too far with was the Alaran Stone Tear in VOA. Evolving item that goes in Ammo slot and is, I think, the only item in the game with any substantial stats/mods that can go in the Ammo slot. Least it was at the time. Thing is, it gets most of its power at max level (20) rather than going up incrementally. So if you're going to do it you pretty much need to go all the way. Takes probably around 4,000 mobs to max it out, and only mobs of a certain type actually work. It's much easier if you wait until the next expansion, ROF, which has the same mob types at a higher level, and makes it "only" take around 2500 to max out. The mobs can drop consumable tablets that bump you up by 10% of an evolving level (or 1/200th of the total). After level 10, they go down to 5%. The actual mob grinding slows to a crawl around that point as well. If you save those up until around level 15 and consume like a hundred of them then, you can knock off the worst part of the leveling. I did it, but it took me a while and I think I actually finished it two expansions later at 105. Worth it? No.

I dont know what to tell you. Be as insulted as you want, I wasn't really trying to go that way - in the case of screamfeader for example I've said many times I liked his posts. But, hey, some people just have too much tism to be casual and you're one of em. Lots more in eq. Doesn't have to be a bad thing, eg RI people probably love hamshire and he cant do casual either.

How much luck have people had getting the SWC from the Korokust camp? Considering going down there to try and get one at some point.
Friendly advice, it's time to step back from this conversation, because it's going nowhere.

I camped grand herb on rizlona for a few days to aa out a new ranger. Think it was around 50 kills. No swc. The idea of dividing the 0.5% or worse chance of it dropping by however many shared buckets just strikes me as ludicrous, versus just doing whatever gets krono and buying it.

Some of the dodh drops are in zones that you can just hunker down and level in. The fact that anything drops it even means that in many places you can go to an undead area like underground in the hive. My strong strong STRONG advice in dodh is to just plan out what lame shit you wanna get (shrink ear, invis mask, 25/25 augs, whatever) and just do your aas there. Too many people aa out in zones like paw since the aaing is better and then lose their fucking mind going after numerous chase items.

I’ve been here so long I thought my boy Tea For Tuesday posted again in the EQ thread.

Totally concur. Also some DODH zones are still good leveling from 70-75, so even up through TSS/TBS you can often overlap your AAing with trying to get DODH chase items.
And yes, you'll probably still be after said chase items several expansions later. Then again on Teek with everything tradable, maybe these'll just be farmed and sold out by kronolords and getting them from a purchase will be the meta.

It be like that sometime.
I've learned that i get better drops after whining like a bitch about it. It's a proven method.

Anyone bothered to complete the tower instances as a full level 60 group? Curious if anyone has beaten the forest orc at max level
Been dicking around in it with some bros just to limit test a bit and can't come up with a way to beat the orc so far.
He's got a cone/frontal AE that has a 5000 point self heal on the DoT tick and that's just such a crazy pile of self heal that we can't find a way to overcome it. Best attempt so far has been run the tank buffless and someone spams dispel to keep it from healing too much, but even a single tick is enough that you fall behind healing his other ~1500 damage AE etc.

Yea I don't see a way to beat it either. Maybe if you can run a huge MR set + bard + tank just resists the AE and you have a cleric to spam group heals for the other AE?
But even then he makes two adds as well that are too high to mez and does plenty of melee damage + is slow resistant.

I think you would need a full group consisting only of top tier S-rank+ clones of Goliath, Cupcaek and possibly Mippo.
Only then could this be achieved

Even then, I think the only viable solution would be to bring in the server wide top DPS, Sam Da Man Deathwalker.
