*We are aware that the item collector has truncated some of the names. This usually sorts itself the next time an item is collected (which is soon because it basically tells itself "oh this item name has changed" when in fact it was just a collection error. --I personally don't know enough about it to say what causes this.

Duplicity

So we just had some Updates to Grevak and his "Lizard Doll" quest that make it clear this is a newbie home-city quest that fills the same niche as Cindl wanting polar bear pelts, that rumoured dwarf that likes crushbone belts and so on.

So what other starter cities have a parallel quest? (One would assume they all do). Clearly we need updates as to the full drop range of items from these. Are there multiple armor tiers in each city or just faction-based variations (Paladin guild bone chip quest in Kaladim is coming to mind here vs. the Crushbone belts quest out of the warrior guild).

Lastly, it looks like we could use additional screenshots of these NPC.

Small but Dangerous?

Screenshot

The bestiary wiki listing says: "The spiderlings are the non-posionous version of the spiders. They are non-aggressive, but EXTREMELY social and will join in if you're fighting one anywhere near them. While they can be excellent xp for the younger player, they do come in a variety of level ranges. It is very important for the newer player to /consider the spiders closely to ensure they're of a reasonable level before taking them on."

 

But are they still social? I remember them being nuts in the Feerott ages ago, but my recent experiences in Nektulos on progression it didn't seem so...


Also, we could use some images of the other colour variations. I prefer my spiderlings in yellow myself.

EQ Update #16 2016

Kithicor entries are definitely lacking, as seem by the updates we've already been given in the past day (new NPC added, several drops linked to known NPC)... thanks all! If you search by zone and look at the NPC list you'll see that a bunch don't have screenshots submitted yet, like the majority of Grigga's clan.

The best news though, is all the new items... that means Item Collector is functioning! I say that is due to all of you that posted on site feedback. So here's the new ask: could some of you post a thank-you there?

EQ Update #15 2016

Return the Day/Night Cycle to Kithicor!

Screenshot

 

Once upon a time, travelling through Kithicor was a dreaded thing. This was increased by the nighttime nastiness of the different spawns. For years the zone has been stuck in a perpetual state of undead everywhere (though they seem to have been adjusted to make running the zone edges much safer than it used to be... but maybe that's just me not being a blind human anymore?).

What would be nice (especially for progression servers) is the proper lower-level daytime version to exist. Not just for travel but for questing and hunting those lower level targets. Back in the day you got to learn the zone layout and had to pay attention to the in-game clock. Let's have that back! After all if Castlevania could pull it off on the NES, surely Daybreak can figure it out in 2016.

As a side note, since Kithicor as a zone basically gets ignored once any server is into Kunark, the item listings in the database for the NPC are very lacking. Also, they may have changed stuff with the perma-set version of NPC. Basically we could use some updates on what actually drops in Kithicor today.

 

Note: a few intrepid hunters have really helped clarify Veeshan's Peak old named and the fact that they seem to drop pretty much everything they are supposed plus some augmentations added around LDoN era. Thanks to all that keep contributing to this site!

Rare Items:

Worth the Pain?

Screenshot

Do you hunt for rare items?

I've done the Blued Two-handed hammer quest, my necro that moved to FV took my collection of rarities (like treant staff) with her. Of course on FV you can get super rares like the flowers of functionality in baz due to the no-drop rules (so it isn't quite the same --wish I had kept my collection on a normal server... oh well).

On Regular servers, what rare items were you pleased to have acquired?

 

Also, it looks like there may be some long-standing loot discrepancies in Veeshan's Peak due to revamps. Anyone that feels like hunting old dragons please report what still drops on an NPC like Xygoz vs. a newer NPC like Milyen Vioren (whom we don't even have a pic of yet).

Screenshot


Finally, it looks like Lucy the item collector is broken. PLEASE post in the "site feedback forum" how you feel about this. Especially you premium people... this update would have been 5x longer if the item collector was working.
