You could MQ the ground spawns on agnarr though.

I think the worst few days of my gaming life was Agnarr's overworld VP keying. Fighting autoclicker wars with 100+ people was awful. And then half our guild ended up having one of our resident 6boxers get it for them because he at one point had 23 in a row from knowing the exact pixel to hover. Charm wars, seeing almost 0 mobs up for 20 hours a day in certain parts of zones, death threats, KS wars. Fun stuff.


We broke so much shit on Agnarr, was good times, but I'm never gonna do that again.

I skipped VP keying, but I'm not excited about getting 18 VT keys for my guys on Rizlona.

Isn't VT key much easier?

In terms of time I'd say they're comparable since you have to do both shards and Emp key, but I just wasn't willing to do VP keying due to the lack of quality loot.

VT keying isn't as bad, imo, since it didn't ever rely on one spawn. Fungus grove is kind of shitty because it's only a few spawns. Ssra area will be camped hard. Still, there will be a lot of picks for a while.

Zaide out here giving raid strats to the general public? Atabishi is gonna be pissed.

Don't worry, Atabishi will "tweak" it to be more successful and then say it was his own.

Man back to back Garns + abashi's rod off vulak, Is this unheard of?

Vt keys are much more box group friendly. You're farming trash or named with phs, so you hunker down with a group regardless of box group or human being guildy group, so its effectively about the same to farm up 6 for your own toons as it would be to get 6 human beings' single chars keyed. Vp with stuff like long respawn mobs and soloable shit meant either being wildly inefficient or trying to play in several places at once; vt doesnt have that problem for the most part. Other than like sd and dsp, you can just haul 18 out and murder a ton.

Think the worst spots for me were Fungus Grove (18 hours) and the Seru entrance (14 hours). Rest were pretty fast but those two were fucking painful.

It's that hateful thing of not wanting to leave once you're 3 hours in because you know it'll drop within minutes of leaving the camp.

Then you stay after you get yours and 2 drop off the next few mobs you kill for guildies who just turned up.

The memory of this happening so much still hurts

Seru is the wrong place to camp it, The other place drops it often

The roamers in the ring road hall on lvl 2 of Katta drop it pretty frequently.

Seru is not the wrong place. They were just hunting in the wrong place. The entire square or rectangle that you click up to... all of those mobs can drop shards. And even boxing 5 rangers you would see repops before you cleared the whole cycle. Kattas mobs are more spread out and I don't remember there being as many.

I would easily get 12 seru shards within 4 hours every time. And the sample size was 40 keys so no I did not get lucky.

AON + stick figures + autoclicker

The funniest shit was people running the guards over to kill all the afks.

So.... more shit went wrong for my guild again today. Why I keep playing this game is beyond me, and I'm close to just saying fuck it.

You know we had the issue with one of our warriors fucking up the epic to augmentable-epic turn in and the GM telling him tough shit.

Well apparently that was just the start of the issues.

On the opening week of Velious, our raid leader got a 7 day suspension the day before Velious opened. All he was told is that he was cheating. Think what you want, but he doesn't cheat, so they can go fuck themselves with that bullshit.

We got him back the second week of Velious, and doing great right. Found out today that another one of our raid tanks got notice today that he is perma banned. Again, the reason given was "cheating". Again, bullshit.

That's three guild members (all warriors) that have gotten the shaft by Darkpaw Games in the past thirty days.

Now mind you, the raid leader works for a networking company, lives in the country, and has to VPN in for work, so maybe the bastards at DPG gave him the 7 day suspension because of his VPN software. Truly shitty because he doesn't use his work VPN while playing EQ.

The second guy that got the perma ban also has a job in networking. He is a security specialist, so they likely saw software on his computer that he uses for work.

Now if I was running a top-tier guild competing for open world content, I could see someone fucking with us right.... but, here's the thing. I run a SMALL guild that ONLY does DZ raids. We are a casual raid guild with NON-mandatory raids. We run between 30 and 50 characters on our raids. In other words, we are not a competitive guild. We do good for the numbers we have, but there is no reason in the world to assume that my guild cheats. If we cheated, we would be doing way more content than we do.

In Kunark, we killed Trakanon all of 3 times (got a Robe, Druid chest piece, and a stupid back piece). That's it. Wow what a cheating guild right?!

WTF is going on over at Darkpaw Games?

I'm literally trying to decide if I even want to login anymore because at the rate that these fucking idiots are banning people for fucking nothing, they're literally killing my guild one member at a time. No matter how much effort I put in to the game, DPG is fucking me and my guild, and for what reason? Seriously. WTF is going on?

You go to Katta, you go up to the spot with the shard dropper guys, you have some on back on "the planet" let you know when it's night time in game, you kill them, they have 50% chance to drop shards. Seru is indeed the wrong way to do it.
