Garath the Trader - Garath's Weapons to Trade

[Clang]

... seems to be missing outside ST.

He's part of the weapon exchange to swap hammers for monk fists and swords for knight weapons:

I did some research on a monk item and found out that this NPC with these quests was added Oct 08, 2001 during a Monk/Hybrid rebalancing. Please see - http://www.project1999.com/forums/showthread.php?p=1532584#post1532584 where I discuss and link to things reinforcing this (including the Gharn's thread).

He is a late Velious addition.

Per:
http://www.project1999.com/forums/sh...te#post1727896

Will the "post Sleeper Awakening" quests be added now that sleeper has been awakened?

I noticed Mercutius Del Torre, isn't in the p1999 wiki nor any of the Draconic instrument quests.

thanks.

Your link isn't working? And FYI while the p99 wiki is hosted by the team, they are not responsible for maintaining the content (it is player driven mainly).

Just because that npc or quests aren't listed in the wiki doesn't necessarily mean they aren't in the game. I personally haven't checked so not sure (too high an end game for me to care).

The Essence Lens quest is late Velious (Sept. 2001): http://www.project1999.com/forums/showpost.php?p=935657&postcount=115

The Garath's weapon trading quest to get the Primal/Priceless Knight Swords and Monk Fists was around Nov 2001.

The draconic stuff and Ancients were post-Luclin implementations.

Thanks for clarifying!

[blondeattk]

`The draconic stuff and Ancients were post-Luclin implementations.`

they arrived some time in 2002?

[blondeattk]

you contradict yourself here!

`The Quests in red are a result of post-Sleeper Awakening Velious. So they shouldn't really be on this server.`

http://www.project1999.com/forums/showpost.php?p=1727896&postcount=142

to my knowledge the sleeper has been awakened on p99.

therefore, The draconic instrument quests should exist and be a thing.

[Ele]

Not sure how it is a contradiction.

The Ancients and other post-awakening revisions occurred in 2002 after Luclin released.

Servers where the Sleeper was awakened before Luclin was released had a rough time for people wanting to get primal-type weapons until the Ancients came long during Luclin.

More information about post-awakening can be found here:

both the mace http://everquest.allakhazam.com/db/item.html?item=7061

and the quest http://everquest.allakhazam.com/db/quest.html?quest=1295

have posts dated prior to luclin release.



Thanks <3.

Firstly I would like to thank everyone at the p99 staff who put in so much effort to make this server possible.

As today's patch looks like it is meant to bring us to the Oct 2001 timeline, I believe the quest below should be activated.

This quest (Alla link (http://everquest.allakhazam.com/db/quest.html?quest=2153), p99 wiki link (https://wiki.project1999.com/Garath%27s_Weapons_to_Trade)) was added in October 2001 as evident by the comments on this page (http://everquest.allakhazam.com/db/item.html?item=6826):

Garath is in game, but the quest does not work.

Added Garath to appear in ~Oct2001, and offer the weapon exchanges. Fixed, pending update

Here are some additional research links pointing towards 10/2001:

What about the Lungi trade; when did it become available?

I'm trying to think of all the cases here. If Garath appears in Oct2001, and somehow the sleeper is still sleeping, the Lungi isn't even available. I added an additional check to ensure a 'post-sleeper' condition for him to discuss Lungi trading.

Does anyone know more about this?

Legend. Thanks!

I don't recall Lungi being a thing back when I played, so can't help there. Sorry.

[Rygar]

Dug into this Lungi thing, don't know terribly much about it but it appears to have something to do with a sleepers tomb revamp? Magelo has initial entry of 9/26/02.

Shroud is now kinda replaced by the-not-really-anywhere-as-good Lungi of
the Forbidden (woot SMR). Smolder is junk now. Salindrite and SoD no
equivalents but better (sometimes much) found elsewhere. Dainty Gloves,
ROFL. Dwarf Mask > Gnome Mask.

Prismatic much more common than Primal ever was, some *gasp* stuff for Int
and Wis casters and an assortment of other nice enough bits which often
drop 3 and 4 at a time.

On balance since the last revamp Sleeper being awake is no great disaster
unless you really, really wanted a Shroud in which case you should have got
your wannabe-uber arse in gear a whole lot sooner.

It appears as if swapping them with Garath did not occur until April 28, 2004 patch (https://groups.google.com/forum/#!searchin/alt.games.everquest/lungi|sort:date/alt.games.everquest/eJpQARb8zj8/1auR_qvXNBYJ):
Items
-----------------------
- Skill percent-mods now work for Ammo slot items.
- Grand Tunic of the Oracle and the Grand Robe of the
Oracle have had a type 7 augmentation slot added to them.
- Lungi of the Forbidden will display a robe graphic once
again. Monks and Beastlords will be able to swap the robe
in for a leather looking BP with the same stats by visiting
Garath the Trader in East Wastes. You will be able to
swap the items back and forth with Garath for your desired
look. (Lungi? Lungi? What is a Lungi?)

[nilbog]

Should be good for next patch.

Fixed, pending update

[Gromf]

Thanks nilbog!

Can you confirm the fists will be 1hb? From the comments on alla, they weren't changed to h2h until some time after Luclin.

[Pint]

Was this patched in with that small patch that nerfed hammered golden hoops or are we still waiting?

[Gromf]

Not yet, think it will come when the spell files go to the next version (47?)
