Are these Dragons perma-farmed? or are there set times where people can join in killing them? I would love to participate before I outlevel them.

if it drops loot, its perma farmed. good rule of thumb

You would need to join a guild that kills them. Azure Guard, Omni, Europa, BDA, Forsaken, Awakened. Those are the guilds that have been seen on that raid scene lately.

You mean you haven't purpose built two level 52 alts to permanently camp at the dragon's lairs and equipped them with full Velious quest armor and NToV rot weapons yet?

I mean, that would be the logical thing to do. If only we could all achieve such greatness.

You only need one alt army, but you need permafrost potions =-) #Notsocasualbutcasual#p99casuallife

TLDR - Naggy and Vox are both being looted within 5 minutes of spawning

That doesn't sound very classic.

Once Bladestoppers and Prayers of Life and Bard epics get obsolete, they will stop being permafarmed. Expect around when the first guilds break into Elemental Planes or PoTime :/.

This server isn't very classic.

This server isn't very classic.

The raid scene and client aren't very classic, very true. Not much that can be done about those at this point however.

I'm pretty sure Vox wasn't left up indefinitely til much later in the timeline than P99!

Perhaps the raiding guilds should specify that a certain percentage of Vox / Naggy spawns (like every three months, first spawn of the month?) are Open and should be left up for 24h for pickup raids... the last Guild that killed the mob can advise the server as to the upcoming window and the server would have a week to organize tracking.

Just floating the idea, not speaking for my Guild or Alliance.

Mg

I remember so many PUG naggy/vox raids on my warrior when I first started EQlive. I would see people shouting and gathering people in Gfay lol. Was literally a 4 hour affair lol.

As someone who has been around P99 since oct of 2009, the server changed forever the first time naggy was killed. In the true tradition of P99 tho, people cheated and were banned because of the first naggy kill lol.

I never went on a successful open naggy raid :s

In the era of dwerium trio jewelry I ended up creating a twink with massive damage shield and regen to solo naggy (would clear out the giants with a 65 zerker). Occasionally I would invite my friend along who would shroud a 50 kobold cleric to help out. Kinda shows the insane state of mudflation :S.

I also can remember people running to zones and seeing /shout or /ooc for Naggy or Vox raids lf more 46-52 and all the other text filled, come out & help your fellow player type stuff. I only played live from Kunark to LDoN time frame, so idk what happened after all that.

Plus the clearing of the FGs taking an hour, buffing everyone for an hour, and camping to wait in the chat rooms at server select.

I got a bladestopper on live from a PUG. I used it to save someone on an open plane of growth raid later on, not realizing that runes were a lot of aggro and eventually vendored the shield. I also remember killing myself on ice giants outside so I could delevel from 53->52 and worrying that the timer would run out because the raids took so long.

I ran a couple of open Vox raids on Xegony back during this era. Back then it was just a matter of using your little guild to get the word out in various zones to assemble a bunch of randos, since she'd be up for days. First one failed, but the second one was a success. Never tried her again, though.

Kinda wish you could do the same thing on this server, but I doubt she'd ever stay up long enough for that to happen.

Omg this. I played a sham, and the way we did buffs was people would stand in like a single file line in front of a shaman to get full buffs. Everyone on the raid. When you wre buffed, you would /say next. Don't ask why we didn't use tells, cuz I have no idea. Didn't know to hide casters behind a wall either. Twas chaos.

One time shortly before velious release there was a pickup voxx raid and the GM actually spawned a second vox after the first one died so quickly....100 players from casual scum guilds showed up , it was pretty ridiculous

Heres the video of the encounter heh

Was very good times. May the PuGs continue! Cloki and Culkasi and I tend to lead these things when the timing is right. I suspect that VS, once he becomes a 3 day mob, will likely be another PuG raid for the server a few months after he changes.
