Sebilis Key

[NPC]

Will the keys initially be soul bound or will they be just like the live launch? Not sure how long it took for soul bound update, 5-6 months? I'm hoping they start off soul bound or there gonna be some nasty training going on just to kill anyone an everyone in Sebilis.

*Keyed Dungeons*

The key for Charasis (Howling Stones) is now NODROP per the patch
message from a couple of weeks ago. Furthermore, when your character
dies, keys for Charasis, Sebilis, and Veeshan's Peak, will no longer
remain with your corpse, but will instead return with your character to
its bind point. We made this change to reduce the difficulty and
corpse-loss potential of these zones, and eliminate the need to do the
key quests multiple times.

Based on this I'd expect ~ 3 months of so called "bodybound" keys unless they patch it early to ease up the demand for keys.

I still don't see any answer to the question.

Sounds like you didn't actually read then

Nilbog has previously said he wont put something in that has a super quick turn-around to the nerf[not worth the time], I think this falls outside that statement and will be a bodybound thing. Good luck. WTS ress at seb ent for 500pp.

+1, love it :D

Great idea if they want to flood the guides/GMs with corpse recovery requests.

Off topic: so why is it assumed that binding at the Firepots will be put in? Wishful thinking or based on some statement from the devs?

It's assumed firepot bind will be in place because it was available on "Blue." I don't know that P1999 staff wants to deal with the hassle/workload associated with non-soulbound zone keys. We'll see; it'll be interesting if they put it in.

Does it get patched in shortly?

Does the post-patch situation save a lot of work for GMs/guides?

The choice couldn't be clearer this November: soul-bound keys are in.

Binding at the firepots is probably an extremely easy quick thing to patch in\out given the architecture of the game.

They dont have the ability to not make it soulbound

[Soothsayer]

Ugh... between this key nonsense and the myconid spore king, Sebilis at Kunark launch is going to be the one of the biggest sh*tshows in EQ history. Wake me up in ~11 months when Velious is out.

It's literally a flag on the item in the database - quite easy to enable/disable.

Binding at the firepots is overrated anyway, bind in FV where you can just take a quit boat ride to the firepots, while also having better access to Kunark.
