Gnoll Fang Quest is BONKERS EXP till mid kunark when it get's exp nerfed.

Enjoy kids and new***s.

edit: It's so good it has even inspired a wiki guide.
(I take no credit for this wiki guide and it may not be 100% accurate)

Unless they decide to make it non-classic.

[loramin]

Was that a confirmed classic thing, and not just an early P99 bug (like Seafury drops)?

[Baler]

Yes it was proven classic.

[loramin]

I was just asking because I genuinely didn't know: no agenda or desire to troll or anything.

I totally would have thought Seafuries was a classic nerf if I hadn't read it here, and while I kinda vaguely remember when the fangs got nerfed ahile back, I just didn't remember if it was for classic reasons or not.

[Baler]

Gnoll fangs got nerfed because it was found that aprox mid way through kunark expansion a patch on live they reduced the exp rewarded. It is and I say with zero doubt document in a patch note.

Do I have that patch note on hand. no but it is on that japanese site if you wanna dig for it.

Wasn't even trying to troll with this post. Actually none of my post since I returned have been a troll. No joke.

[Valion]

Oh yeah really nice quest. Make sure you do the Moonstone quest along with it. Bandit Sashes quest is a must as well

[DMN]

Would be better if blackburrow wasn't a shit dungeon and the fangs weren't rare drops, though.

300 fangs is fucking laughable. You'd need to kill like 1500 gnolls.

LOL! Sure, pal! Sure!

Your description of it is perhaps more literally accurate than you anticipated. It's full of humanoid dogs. There are piles of what appear to be gnoll excrement scattered all over the place.

Pun intended?

You are a speical

The spawn rate is absymal for a newbie dungeon too. about 5 people can hold down everything between the commander and the ZL. But its going to be crammed full of like 75 people flaming eachother to get that precious gnoll scout loot

TRAIN TO ZONE!!

- says someone at random every 30 seconds.

[Lojik]

Trains are not nearly as bad as they should be. I know cause I trained the crap out of that dungeon on live for fun.

[loramin]

No need to visit "that japanese site" anymore (どうもありがとう日本!) ... the wiki now has a (hopefully) comprehensive patch notes page, with everything in one place (so you can just use your browsers "find" to find things): http://wiki.project1999.com/Patch_Notes.

The "hopefully" part is that I grabbed every patch I could find from Allakhazam and the Japanese site ... but I can't guarantee that is every patch.

On that note, I don't see any notes for blackburrow or fangs, but maybe they phrased it as "reduced some starting quest rewards" or something like that? Or maybe we are missing a patch?

[BlackBellamy]

On TZ we formed Human Retribution, started human alts in Quenos, then spent a lot of time training all the damn elves and other riff raff out of Blackburrow. Why are you killing me, we're on the good team? Shut up and stay out of Qeynos Hills, you scum! We got called jackbooted thugs, racial tensions rose, good times!

But yeah, once we took over BB, that exp was great!

[Soothsayer]

I need precisely 30 fangs to bring myself up to Amiable with the Halas warrior guild so I can do the Langseax quest. Hopefully that's possible with the amount of people cramming into Blackburrow... :/

Are you basing that on wiki faction numbers, or someone's specific reports of fang faction? Because the wiki numbers are very often incorrect on P99.

Which faction is affected is almost always correct, but the exact amount a quest or NPC gives is impossible to determine here. As a result, those numbers are just from other EQEmu sources, and may well be different for us.

[Madbad]

1-20 used to be FangQuest

Nah, I tested it on a neutral race character on Blue who was apprehensive with Halas starting out. It took exactly 30 fangs to bring myself up to Amiable with 'em, so the Wiki information seems to be roughly correct here.

Good to know.
