Can anyone solve this P99 forum puzzle?

[thejester11]

Lord Nagafen

[Spyder73]

Definitely Chest

[Yasi]

What is chest? A guild leader of A/A?

[Sorn]

I may not be the greatest,
I'm closer to the worst
but when you are in our world now
I've always been the first.

Priest of Discord

[Morbo the Annihilator]

I may not be the greatest,

I'm waiting for the POD answer to be declared the victor before I post my new one...

Jimjam! Let us know!

-Mcoy

[Swish]

The PoD is the ambassador for pvp and cannot therefore be the worst.

I'm going with "a decaying skeleton" as they're in every newbie zone <3

[Yasi]

I'll go with the Raft from NRO to Iceclad.

[Jimjam]

I'm afraid no body has it yet!

I like PoD suggestion, as he is the first npc many characters will see, but the one I refer to is a different type of first!

I can try posting a new clue for the same NPC?

[Tipsyer]

Firiona Vie?

[mcoy]

Firiona Vie?

I thought this as well, but I couldn't find much lore on the character to see where the "worst" would fit in...

How about https://wiki.project1999.com/A_Bandit ?

[Jimjam]

Okay if I give a super easy clue so we can move on?

[Jimjam]

Phinigel Autropos

I see you are a Futurama fan. Do you also like gnomes in Akanon?

If I say this npc shares some things in common with cleaners you should have this riddle solved.

I thought someone might have gotten it with reference to the janitor from Futurama and the smaller clockworks in Akanon.

Lets kill this before the thread dies.

Scruffy the rat in Qeynos hills

The first NPC added to Everquest: http://www.eqbucketlist.com/expansions/classic/qeynos-hills/scruffy/!

[mcoy]

Well, that was certainly enlightening. I don't think I've ever seen a named rat in QH... Interesting to learn it was the first NPC.

Moving on:

What is this place? How did I get here?
Only one person knows why I exist.
My wings are covered in feathers,
My face isn't; it's contorted in a twist.

Ankhefenmut

[mcoy]

Ankhefenmut

Well damn. I even had a 2nd verse ready to help narrow it down to an "epic" mob and in rathe mountains.

Well done, https://wiki.project1999.com/Ankhefenmut is indeed it.

Too many dots to connect for my humble brain. makes sense in retrospect though.
Pretty obscure reference to the "first", you may have been the only person that knew that piece of trivia hehe.

[mcoy]

Too quiet for too long. Here's a new one. I'm trying a slightly different format this time:

I decided to leave my home,
but I can't pick where to roam.
By sea or by land,
the decision is at hand.

If only I could make up my mind,
perchance I'd be able to find
the four items I seek to be given
by an aspiring (class redacted).

Although you've never seen me in game,
I test every item to make sure they're not lame.
My contributions, however, are largely unseen
by those just interested in the platinum machine.

[mcoy]

Stop bumping this stupid thread ya morans.

[serberus]

The random number generator?

[Jimjam]

Its an interesting clue but I have no idea the answer.

[kgallowaypa]

Something related to Pain and Suffering perhaps

[Sadiki]

Test Server

[mcoy]

Interesting responses. Glad I've finally stumped Jimjam.

I'll post an additional verse or a clue in a few hours if no one's getting close.

Edit: We're looking for a proper name; so not a "Thing" but a "Person".

How else can you tell what effects items have,

Someone else want to come up with one? I'd like the chance to earn some points again =p

Otherwise - I'm putting another together; once I come up with a mob to use...

[mcoy]

Ok, couldn't resist:

Dead I have been, for far too long.
I've looked for a cleric, but they're all anon.
One day I will rise, and help many a caster
complete their quest, unlike my friend Raster.


Probably too easy. But my last one worked out well, so why not?

[Morbo the Annihilator]

can't think of anything that ticks all the boxes.

Ghoul Arch Magi

[thejester11]

The ghoul arch magus
or
Garzicor

[Rummol]

Venril Sathir

[Swish]

Venril Sathir

would have been my pick, but is it him?

[Yasi]

Arch Magus doesn't make sense to me, as his nearby mate ghoul savant is a cleric.
What connection does Venril have with Raster?

[Morbo the Annihilator]

"my friend Raster" must be a red herring.

i figure he was included because his name rhyms with "caster", and provides a link to a mob in lower guk.

All interesting suggestions. I included Raster because it rhymes with caster and, unlike the correct answer, Raster doesn't have anything to do with any caster epic quest.

Venril Sathir

Venril Sathir (or remains) is indeed correct.

I like the idea of intentionally misdirecting people to the wrong zone... I'll have to keep that in mind.

I've destroyed many a new player's faction,
to their surprise; they thought they took no action.
It's genetics; it's not my fault I'm fat.
There just aren't any arenas near where I'm at.

[Morbo the Annihilator]

Here's another simultaneous one so Mcoy can have a shot at some points:

I am the strongest of my race, displaying limbs of six,
I don't go looking for fights, or get involved with conflicts.
I bear no ill will to those that slaughter my kind,
We have great strength, but are quite weak of the mind.
Often I find my home to be abandoned and boring,
Though I'm constantly weaving through much trumpeting, flapping and roaring.

Mosquitos were my first thought, but I'd imagine it's Engorged Soulsipper.

Dang - I missed the named one. /clap

[Morbo the Annihilator]

None of the above.

And I'm still stumped on Mcoy's one.

[Jimjam]

I went looking for a named fire hornet in BW. no dice

BW would explain the 'trumpeting' clue (hornet)... I suppose an alternative solution to trumpeting could be a zone with elephants/mammoths in?

I couldn't find any beefy non-kos griffons in EW.

Awesome. Spent the whole day wracking my brain for 6 limbed creatures, and then suddenly remembered Centaurs and that most were factionless.

I didn't think mine would need a 2nd verse, so instead I wrote another riddle... I'll come up with another clue for mine while I sit in traffic on the way home.

If my items are amongst those you seek;
you'll be happy to learn that I am common and unique.
For if you even bother to enter my tower,
you're obviously not after items of great power.

Chomper of Rivervale or A Shark of East Freeport!

Both Halflings and humans rogues have a jump in the water and get eaten by an angry fishy while trying to find treasure quest!

Or Scraps, also of East Freeport, also guarding treasure for rogues!

[thejester11]

...A Shark of East Freeport!...
Yep! I didn't know about the quest, I just remember it from live because there is a hidden entrance nearby to the rogue guild.

Sorry I've been quiet on this thread. It's been a busy couple of weeks... give this one a shot <3

You cannot see me but I can appear,
Kill this faction and you won't come near.
For more than one quest I can be called,
Some will try to have me docile or enthralled.

Will you continue now, on your journey?
Or make me angry, and depart on a gurney?

Who am I?

[Morbo the Annihilator]

Stanos Herpaderp

Was just about to say Stanos, even though part of me feels like that isn't it.

[Herpa Derp]

First one is The Rad Surfer.

Stanos Herpaderp
You rang?

[Swish]

Stanos Herpaderp

It is Stanos Herkanor!

Part of two quests, you hand in for your rogue epic, but you also kill him for his head (which he doesnt always drop) as part of the redo on your epic...which allows you to finish questing the high elf illusion mask.

Hits like a freight train and brings friends, pre-Velious he wasn't an easy kill because of that... gear upgrades probably made the encounter easier now but not sure if any guilds still do it for their rogues.

My kin is a hybrid of two ancient races,
We are numerous and dwell within two massive bases.
Although I'm "outdoors", I see no dusk and no dawn,
My leader is oft absent, on a protracted spawn.

final verse removed because too easy.
will put it back in time if needed.

Can this go beyond a few guesses? It's hard to give clues but not too many.

I've witnessed this slaughter thousands of times,
Always I'm spared,
Spectator to these many crimes.

What did he do to deserve this quick death?
I stand here only as part of a quest.
The fire that's here makes for fine food,
Enjoy it I do, but some say it's crude.

Went more vague purposely, if it's too tricky I'll filter some clues in but it's hard to know with Morbo around :D

If you weren't sent,
I will not talk.
This quest will require
Mobs to stalk.

If you cannot find me,
I went to wander.
Perhaps you'll see me
Over yonder...

Hopefully this is a bit more vague:

If you're questing my drops, you will leave dourly.

Ice Giant Diplomat ?

[mcoy]

You're thinking too big. I'll add another verse if Morbo hasn't annihilated it by evening EST.

It's Yelinak, cos he is rooted, innit?

Nope.

I'll drop a hint. "If you should see me" = rare.

[Kender]

Gorenaire

[Halius]

Well I thought about a couple dragons but:

No.

Are evil eyes loud? Lol, I don't know my sound is usually low or off.

Interesting how people are working together on this one.

Moving to new page:
If you should see me, approach me boldly.
For I can bring about your death coldly.
My kind can be heard throughout the zone loudly,

New hint - line 2 references something that takes the unwary by surprise.

Ohh - good one. Not in this case though.

I didn't think I'd need a 2nd verse for this one. Give me a few to throw one together now that Morbo's had a chance.

[mcoy]

If you should see me, approach me boldly.
For I can bring about your death coldly.
My kind can be heard throughout the zone loudly,
If you're questing my drops, you will leave dourly.

For shame! I thought you were more sly.
Perhaps it's because my loot is no longer fly.
That's the problem with revamps done willy-nilly.
Now most find a trip to my zone rather silly.

Ahhh I thought Kly was a fit. I kept looking up only shaman and wizard mobs, but couldn't narrow it down and Kly was already guessed! You guys are riddle writing masters tho

[mcoy]

Yeah - I must have missed his answer as it was just as I was responding to another person. Sorry about that. To make up for it, here's an easy one:

I see all players of a particular class.
But they never return to me, alas!
It's not my fault it was never fully implemented;
I'm sure the devs have something intended.

[mcoy]

How about a two-fer?

I'm a bane to some who try and pass,
but I'm of use to at least one class.
The glare from this tower can be useful;
at least it makes my nightly reading more fruitful.
