View Full Version : A petition to honor a server treasure

Whereas: Arleigh, of the Blue server, has long provided Jewelcrafing services for the server and,

Whereas: she charges only minuscule amounts over her costs and,

Whereas: she pays well for components and,

Whereas: she has mastered her skill long ago and,

Whereas: for these things and more, she is widely considered a server treasure and,

Whereas: such exemplary behavior over such a long period of time deserves to be remembered and encouraged,

Be it therefore requested that a new tradable, jewelcrafted item be made available, bearing her name, perhaps with some or all of the following traits:

Very difficult to craft (never trivial)
Rare components
Multiple rare gems (a Blue Diamond and a Black Sapphire?)
Neck
All/All
+15 to all resists
5 AC
20 HP
20 Mana

Perhaps it could be called Arleigh's Necklace of Grace.

I've bought stuff from them. Seems to be a nice person, appreciated. But this feels like simping.

Titles would be fitting in these situations since they identify the player as they are known to EC regulars and the community in general, which would also indicate their reputation to newcomers. Arleigh the Jeweler.

Arleigh is a cafe account in downtown Seoul. You can hop a flight and play the toon. Owner charges "extra" because it's a "good karma" player -- hard to explain, local customs are diff over there.

The owner makes a lot of real money letting people play the Arleigh box.

doubt it.

Arleigh was named Stockmarket awhile ago then some uppity guide decided that seeing the word stockmarket in the EC tunnel was ruining his elf immersion then she got a name downgrade.

Arleigh is either polited by an AI, or someone dual boxing all the time lol

Nice idea, but a custom title may be more in line with the server ethos?

As we descend into wishlisting, something i’ve long considered a lost opportunity is the apparent lack of ability to use things like silver, gold, etc rings from drops/vendor to make enchanted jewellery. The in game guides actually extensively outline details on how this is done, yet the mechanic simply is missing.

Likewise, I’d say jewellers should be able to reclaim gems from rings for reuse.

Devs don't care about classic. Check out the non-classic compendium.

Hope this helps.

I think you'll like Quarm, see you there.

If it was cheap to craft and low level stats.

Sure.

Something like +2 to all resists and +2hp ac and mana

Could make her into a vastly overconned high level NPC so players can relentless kill and farm her for exp

That’s sorta giving back to the community

This part isn't true.

Also she takes fucking forever to fill an order and often simply doesn't respond even like a min or two after auctioning. I historically used other jewelers

Would love a raid boss that randomly ish spawns in the tunnel and summons like 100 high level npcs. Stuff that a 60 decked warrior out warrior could solo one by one except they all cast snare a, a ranged stun, and CH, and one out of 5 of them AoE so it would pretty much take 100 players working together to stun, interrupt and CC and focus fire them down. Their blind and snare would have like a -100 and -75 check. I would make them weird ones too. Like cold for the snare and fire for the blind. And poison for the stun... so you could pick your poison ! As they say.


Also awesome if the main boss single target fears and DTs and should have like 300hp/sec regen so like 1500 hp a sec so u need velious geared melees to take her out. I would give her just enough hp so that 60 wizards dumping lures or draughts into her will kill here by the time they are at like 18% mana. And she would be completely immune to tash, fear, charm, malo, snare, root, etc maybe only ice based spells would land on her 70% of the time (factored into that total hp calc) and she'd have extremely high ac and be lvl 70 for the sake of melee mitigation cuz lol rogue meta.

This is MMO design at its core and u vary it up. Gg.

Plz name this custom enemy starkind!

Oh and they all chain agro and summon so no bard splitting them one by one. Once the boss is engaged u got like a 15 minute timer or she DTs EC, N Ro, and EFP and resummons her army.

I meant 1500 a tick.

09-10-2023, 10:45 PM
This way u can't just zerg her with melee dmg only and really hope to win. Maybe with 200 bis melee.

How about an ae message whenever you get in proximity?

You sense a bad idea

Make it so others see such and such senses a bad idea to everyone in a bigger ae. Crash zone like good times.

It's worse than that. The internet cafe owner is planning on selling the box to a competitor during the Korean New Year. Diff gaming customs over there.

The thought was to make mention of the Korean New Year with a special item. It's bonkers stuff.

Not a good idea but also saying P99 is classic is pretty funny, anyone playing here knows it's not. It's good but it's not classic.

Stockmarket/Arleigh is absolutely an awesome server entity, and I have bought many a things from him. He's always the cheapest prices and I will wait for him to log on before buying jewelry or cultural gear.

Having said that, no to the custom item. There's enough non-classic here as is.

Yea had good experiences with this person. Had so much good stuff offered I assumed it was a storefront for an entire powerguild though…

Honestly this, I love p99 but the whole idea of it being a virtual replica museum of the original everquest experience is like the UNNN museum in Idiocracy, where the UNNN unnazied the world.
