What loot/quests/drops have you gotten in p99 that you didn't in Live

[Antonius99]

What things did you do in p99 that you never did or finished or got in live (not counting stuff you just bought), preferably with the same character type.

Personally as a paladin on my last p99 go around, stuff I looted/finished... Jboots, the divine might spell quest, the underwater breath earring drop from the guy near qeynos (literally popped in 30 seconds in front of me on the one time I swung by and he dropped it), and the aegis of life (took weeks of camping to get that pop).

Bard Epic

Also raiding in general, never joined a guild back on live so everything beyond Vox/Naggy (which were open raids on my live server back then) all the raid content was new to me. Including keys to VP and sleeper's tomb and working on ring 10.

the underwater breath earring drop from the guy near qeynos (literally popped in 30 seconds in front of me on the one time I swung by and he dropped it)

You got lucky, even to this day I always check on hadden to see if he's up when going through the zone and there is pretty much always someone camping him (different people).

On a related but diametrically opposed note, I started a ranger in qeynos a couple weeks ago and I tracked down pyzjn and she had the GBS but I was only level 4 and my main was in kunark. /sadface. Followed her for a while and tried to get someone to help but some scrub ranger drove by and got it.

As to answer the main question I'm almost done with the coldain shawl quest. Started it on live but never really dented it. Only had 1 glowing bile and then a quake happened while farming and 4 glowing wurms popped so that was fairly good luck. I have pretty much all the pieces and all the tradeskilling done, just waiting to get tailoring a bit higher to get more chances at a succesful combine on the 6th shawl. I even have the mats for that but not the money for the velious combines.

Had my wizard's epic on live though and I don't think I'll ever finish my enchanter's (my main) epic on here since I can't really afford to raid timewise. I'd need to find a casual guild that does hate/fear on a regular basis.

Got to do ToV content properly. Obviously picked up some overlooked pixels too, but for me the real prize is relieving previously experienced content as well as getting a second chance to try out the content I missed out on. And the friends we make along the way!

[PatChapp]

I only played in classic and a bit of kunark when I was a kid
Quick stint back when luclin was out,but just a few weeks.

Have seen almost everything in the game now,have 3 epics including a hard one,warrior.
If a new server rolls il probably just play in classic and quit,since I missed it this time around- just starting after velious launch

Yeah new gear and general progression is great but I came to p99 this year and with how complete the wiki is compared to the little we knew back then, a lot of the old stuff feels new. There's a lot of gear/mechanics I never knew even existed. I don't think people realize how low the knowledge floor was back then.

Now I'm leveling new characters up from starting zones I never tried and taking "inefficient" routes just to see content I never got to see or go deeper in zones I barely scratched the surface. There's a lot of nice discoveries to be made. Not sure if the meta is too burnt in or people are just lazy but some dead zones are seriously much better than people seem to think they are.

The only thing that Ive ever really wanted, this server doesn't support (Unless you been here since 2008).

Wearing a cryo robe (https://wiki.project1999.com/Cryosilk_Robe) on literally any caster.

But on the + side, I am glad that this has not been acomplished by me yet, because it gives me something to live for.

Ice silk robe (https://wiki.project1999.com/Ice_Silk_Robe) has the same graphic if that is why you want it.

Yeah there's a lot of interesting places to see if you're willing to go off the beaten path!

I never saw Plane of Sky on live. Ignorance was bliss in hindsight.

[Drueric]

I never found quillmane cloak for my mage epic back in live. And.. I still never found one.

[Castle2.0]

Multiples of the only item that matters: manastone

Part of the reason I never went to the POG on p99 :o

My Paladin is bound at the the firepots in TD on Blue, from my raiding days in TMO. We poopsoked the Locket of escape and being bound there was more of an achievment to me than anything else I have ever done lol. I remember that we had a very limited window to loot the pots and bind our tanks there, and it has been incredibly useful ever since.

and By useful, I mean, I stopped playing my Paladin shortly after.

[PatChapp]

Pot bound non gating class is a massive flex

Kinda feels like a poisoned apple that could kill a toon, especially once WW or other Velious bind becomes favourable.

Generally agree. But depends on what you're doing with the char. If your goal is a lot of Velious-era raiding then WW bind outside ToV is the best one you can have. Otherwise firepots are pretty cool

[PDX0621]

Killed Sergeant Slate the other day with my monk. Felt like 20+ years of frustration extinguished in an instant. Still pretty happy about that.

[Tethler]

Not a big deal, but I always wanted a Neriad Shawl on live but was too scared of SG back then. Got one a year or so ago for an alt.

Pots-bound cleric alt on green

If I ever get off my ass and drum up some help to kill Tranala, I'll have BFG on my ranger for the fashionquest

Guise on previously mentioned ranger


Overall, nothing too crazy, but I'm happy with what I've got

[jolanar]

I played on the pvp server and was a bit of a noob so getting raid gear was only something I could dream of. Used to be jelly of other monks wearing fungi/epic/tstaff so getting to that point in game here was a real big milestone.

One thing I did with my live character though was do the Whistling Fists quest which was a real highlight for me there. Kinda bummed that I'll never be able to do that quest here.

[Sonark]

but some dead zones are seriously much better than people seem to think they are.The majority of the player-base is at the furthest end of the min/max spectrum (yes, hello, you 2% of exceptions), so doing something different than optimum just gets them ornery, because they wanna hit 60 with their latest new account and new character, so they can mindlessly do it again.

I got a few items on my PAL that I never got in live. Either we didn't raid it, or the content was old... but

On green I've gotten the following items I never have had before (Live, Blue... ever)
∙ Faceguard of Bentos the Hero
∙ Naradi's Helm and Lance
∙ Wavecrasher
∙ Pearly Sarnak Bauble (not a wowser, but, I've never had one before Green)

P99 as a whole allowed me to acquire Rubicite. I started just late enough in live that by the time I went to go fight for some, it had been replaced with the inagural class quest armors. I know I assembled and then sold 3 separate sets on Blue, and I almost completed a set on Green before it turned into the aforementioned Helm of Narandi (I was shy the Vambraces and Gauntlets this time).

I have nine epics on P1999, I had zero until Luclin during live lol. I also never raided top end content during any expansion on live but have killed every target on p1999 numerous times.

Back then I was in the #2 raiding guild on my server and I think we were still struggling with vindi when Planes of Power hit. P99 at this stage is a great opportunity to see it all.

Personally I'd really like to see inside ST but I'm not sure I have the play time to make it happen.

With respect, I find it hard to believe that the guild was number 2 on the server if they were struggling to even kill Vindi by the time PoP came out

Might have my timeline wrong, now that I'm jogging my memory I took a break during luclin so it was probably more around that time. I know the #1 guild was way way ahead of us though.
