please stop killing cauldronboil !

[Vaye]

it's a really rude move to druids exping in kedge, and i see it happening all the time. he drops garbage... literally nothing of value. now, cauldronbubble drops hammerhead helm, which is okay, and i guess i can kinda understand if ppl want a shot at that item, but seriously. you're killing a mob that has a 6 hr (not guaranteed) respawn for basically nothing and really only hurting druids trying to get some experience. yea i know this only applies to like the 5 or so druids that actually exp in kedge, and most will just gloss over this, but just saying!

i just had an exchange with someone who killed him and didn't know any better and just completely killed the momentum for my exp for the night, so i'm posting this thread as a PSA in hopes that anyone who sees a named shark on track in kedge that thinks they're about to cash in on some phat lewts is not. just don't do it!!! ty :D

Your first problem is that you are XPing in Kedge. Literally the worst zone in the history of EQ

Did you play wow before you played eq?

[Spyder73]

Did you play wow before you played eq?

Yes I did, I really enjoyed WoW for several years.

I also played Ultima Online, Everquest, Everquest II, Dark Age of Camelot, Horizons, Lineage II, Age of Conan, Darkfall, D&D Online, Elder Scrolls Online, Final Fantasy XIV, Guild Wars, Guild Wars 2, Lord of the Rings Online, Rift, Shadowbane, The Old Republic, and 100s of other games.

WoW and Kedge Keep having nothing to do with one another. Kedge is a gimicky zone that is poorly designed. I have been raiding Phinigel on the TLP server ever week so I have been in Kedge at least once a week for the last month and confirm that it is still the worst zone in EQ history.

Zone is trash and should be deleted. Really awesome idea for a all underwater zone, but super poorly implemented and doesnt fit with EQ mechanics well AT ALL

[Ravager]

I like Kedge. It's fun and the exp is insane.

That zone is very good xp and very challenging. I made a lot of pp leveling up there as a druid. All druids should be required to level up there for a few levels as a right of passage!

[maskedmelon]

Way to tell people evaluate items are worth to them OP. Ever consider there may be others less fortunate than yourself?

[Gvelz Underfoot]

Those gloves really aren't all that bad. Granted they don't have any resists, but compare them to other gloves that a Shaman can get, for example: http://wiki.project1999.com/Special:ClassSlotEquip/Shaman/Hands/AllItems

They are nearly comparable to gloves that drop in Kael: http://wiki.project1999.com/Gauntlets_of_Iron_Tactics

Kedge can be a great xp zone for druids.

Personally, I mostly just suicide charm killed. I assume OP is killing non animals as well, which can be decent I suppose. I only used boil for Estrella and such myself.

except for that whole thing where it has a huge ZEM, despite being nerfed once already back in kunark

[Freakish]

I'll take the bait. Why should I stop killing him?

[Seltius]

Probably shouldn't post anymore in this thread.

ZEM as stated in other posts is actually really good and if you have an EB item or are willing to keep casting EB on yourself it is nice due to being out of the way and some of the very reasons you stated in your follow up post to this one.

What you may not like about it others may actually enjoy.

I think the WoW question was valid.

[Daldaen]

I can't say I ever use Cauldronboil for EXPing purposes. Only for farming purposes.

If you charm him, you are dealing with him crushing everything he fights which means you are either eating the 50% exp penalty for him doing all the damage when solo, you are grouped up (bad Druid), you are breaking charm every fight to finish off the mob and then recharm him (inefficient).

It's far more efficient to just charm roughly equivalent mobs and have them fight then break and kill 2 mobs after using mana for just a single charm. Most rooms in the zone favor this kill style. Undertow's room has 2, patriarch room has 2, boil room has 2-3, frenzied room has 3, back of seahorse caves has 2 (roamer included), seahorse cave main room has 3, etc. So you are usually in good shape having 2 mobs fight, break pet, kill both and move to the next room.

Rather than charming this guy and having to break him after 30 seconds to kill 1 mob.

For purposes of brute-force clearing out PHers at patriarch, frenzied, ferocious, and cauldronbubble - he does do well though. And I can agree his loot is extremely useless.

Anyone who can kill a named in kedge is not less fortunate

[Spyder73]

As melee scum the idea of soloing is foreign to me - i'll go ahead and sit the rest of this one out

That's not nice! Just for that. I will be logging in to prove melee can actually kill him this weekend.

We will be running workshops on how to solo as a melee this weekend also. Including how to bring a friend but claim to solo while accepting buffs and heals.


Other seminars in the works are:

What is ZEM and what does it do.
How to claim a mob while someone else is camping it.
The 1 2 3s of training.
What to do if your dog catches on fire while in a group.
How to effectively claim a camp.

And everyone's favorite.

How to claim NBG in a pickup group.

Exactly, can't see the point in using cauldronboil for exp.
