I have to say I'm happy that the skeletons are gone. I always seemed to hit EC, Qeynos Hills, and all the other areas at night and was too impatient to wait out the despawn. Lead to a lot of needless deaths. Though I'll admit, I'm happy I nabbed a rod of the knight for my monk.
Fippy's Paw is something I will treasure forever, as that mob is a symbol of my true newbie days as a warrior in Qeynos. I also spent an ungodly amount of time in the Gorge of King Xorbb, and finally obtained myself a Fabled Slime Crystal Staff. I could do the quest, but that would defeat the purpose of owning an item off of one of the most rare mobs in the old world. ^_^
