Ornate Velium Pendant : what will happend after nerf?

[Gurbuuk]

I m just wondering what will happend after the incoming nerf of Ornate Velium Pendant.

Will they become all 4-charges items, or only new drops will become 4-charges?

Any info about that?

Thanks

[Ele]

Just new ones

[Gurbuuk]

thanls ele.

good..

[Kerwin]

new ones as in longer cast time or it will have charges ?

[Daldaen]

New ones are 4 charges and instant.

They can also be vendor recharged if necessary.

[Kerwin]

cant recharge on red but ty for the info

[Tobius]

Anyone know how much a vendor recharge costs? Is it viable?

[Pyrocat]

They're lore, so it'd be a huge pain. No way to know what vendor recharge cost will be until they're patched in.

[Tobius]

Urgh what a pain. If its cheap the charged one might be viable but how can we know. Greedpigs are already trying to charge post nerf prices for the item...

Considering selling an expensive item of mine to buy one but don't want to do that if I don't have to... :(

[Erati]

is there evidence to show these should be removed soon? ( the unlimited version )

[Tobius]

Well 1999 has never been able to follow the timeline exactly, what with being volunteer run and all. Look how long velious took to come out.
If someone could find patch notes for when it was nerfed and work out how long after velious that was I'm sure we can safely assume that's the minimum amount of time. I could stop feeling anxious then. If we are already over that time I'd worry it could be with any patch from now. :(

[Erati]

U can duo the npcs that drop em - takes around 40-50 kills for 1

[Tobius]

You have to murder dorfs though :( andcwreck said faction. Having multiple high level chars on different factions is of course the answer to every problem, unless your a casual.

[Nirgon]

man what an inconvenience a bug almost no one knew about during this era saving tons of time on/trivializing threat on raids

[Tobius]

What bug? I just want to use it for factionquesting, what bug is exploitable?

[Daldaen]

Yea just get a healer partner and kill the councilors.

Faction can always be fixed by grouping in Kael.

[Tobius]

Not really in the spirit of things from an rp perspective though. Murdering hundreds of people then being like “it's cool bro I killed some of those other guys you don't like" maybe if they were indifferent monsters but they are the same race as my main, seems like the murder equivilant of cannibalism. Speciecide?

[Daldaen]

100 rights makes up for 50 wrongs. It's EQ faction!

First evidence of the charged version existing (http://everquest.allakhazam.com/db/zones.html?zstrat=120#m98770047515679)

We got a necklace off of loremaster solstrin, 3rd time we killed him (he seems to always drop spells btw): 6cha 6wis and 4 charges of alliance.

This was posted on ZAM exactly 4 months + 2 weeks into classic Velious. So I guess the unlimited charge pendant technically should be removed in ~2 weeks on December 16th and replaced with the charged version. Rogean also mentioned in EC one night that they did not need a patch to nerf them.

If I understand that just means they are the first to notice and post on zam. So it could be before them, is there anywhere of seeing patch notes and Ctrl f ing the items name?

Most item removals were not listed in patch messages, unless it had a serious impact. Verant/SOE wanted players to explore and figure out the world and not spoil every change to players.

Ex. Manstone/Guise removals not listed. Holgresh Beads/Ornate Velium Pendant change not listed. Mistwalker modification listed, but not its removal. Dragon Teeth/Staff of Forbidden Rites/Indocilite/Cyrosilk Robe removals not listed.

Counter examples where they warned about potential future retroactive change or removals are Circlet of Shadow/Shadows (http://www.tski.co.jp/baldio/patch/20010627.html) and Rubicite/Jboots (http://www.tski.co.jp/baldio/patch/19991013.html).
