Pre-Nerf Fungus Covered Great Staff

[Abysal]

Few questions for blue server as far as timeline

Does it drop?
Drop rate approximately compared to post nerf?
Until when did it stop dropping and only Fungi covered great staff dropped

[quido]

Are you starting Project2000?

[Daldaen]

I think 2 or 3 exist on the server?

[Slave]

More like 8 or 9. And they don't drop anymore.

[Abysal]

how long since kunark opened did they stop dropping?

[Envious]

Quit pretending your ever getting into Sebilis on R99

[Abysal]

k envious troll somewhere else fucking trash anyone know when after kunark released did fungus staff stop dropping?

[Versus]

I forget the exact timeline. It got yanked out after 2-4 months I'd say. I think I was 60 already when I was there and they were dropping. After the nerf, ONLY post-nerf drops.

Pre-taking it out of game:
Funal Regrowth caused agro upon casting (spamming).
Stacked with SoW at first?

Post-removal:
Could cast it on anyone in your group.
Jboots and Fungal intertwined. One would replace the other seamlessly upon clicking them alternately.

Later on:
Self only
Have to click of Jboots buff for Fungal to stick.

I did a head count one time and I came up with 16 I could confirm 100% including 3 from the GM event.
Who knows how many are still active on characters who didn't quit. I'd venture to guess 12 or 13.

[Versus]

GM event: Loly, Baxter, and some IB person I think (so thats 1 gone)

Pwny has 2 or 3...
Kerney had 1
I have one
Noogar had one (banned?)
Athyik had one, gave it to a friend, still being used...
Beauregard has one (inactive)

...forgetting

I got several tells of people wanting to sell me theirs when I was auctioning in EC recently for WTB the post-nerf version, guess people didn't read good, lol..either way, yea there's a small handful out there that people are trying to sell now for an average of a million plat (totally not worth it, IMO...it's not all that good tbh).

Most people who got one has handed them down to others when they quit and now they are rotting or not being used much. I've had a few people tell me this.

My guess is there's probably more than anyone thinks out there, there's no way one person can know the exact amount on the server other than a dev.

Well when Kunark popped it was a relatively small group of people farming King until it was nerfed - I know Necrious for one didn't leave until he got a staff. So knowing who was in the groups and who was there and who had a staff they've flashed, we can make a reasonable educated guess but you're right - there is no way to tell with 100% certainty.

From what I know -

Pwny has 2 I'm sure of - possible 3
Phist has 1
Darkdeath has 1
Necrious has 1
Loly has 1
Baxter has 1
Kerney has 1
Noogar had 1 (Banned ?)
Beau had 1 (Inactive now)
I have 1 (Athiyk's he gave to me when he quit - thanks again my man <3)

Thats a total of 11 im counting (12 if Pwny has 3).
Anyone else know of anyone in the club? We went over this in Guild chat the one night and I could swear we came up with 16 total on server we all knew of.

Sure you can say its over rated - tell me that after you roll an iksar necro with a RoA and a staff :)
I still use mine everytime I play - 60 Iksar Regen + Fungi Tunic + Self Regrowth from staff is just so choice.

I've had offers on the staff upwards of 1.5 mill but why would I sell it? Anyone who has a staff doesn't need plat to buy dragon haste or fungi tunics or whatnot - basically I"m at the point any upgrades I'd like are no drop and I don't really play twinks (and if I did - staff = perfect twinkage).
If I ever quit it's getting passed on.

So I'm not sure why people are selling the best item in game for plat - wonder what they're going to do with all that plat? Hmm... I'll give you 3 guesses..only 3 letters to guess too!

DD's may be Loly's. Not sure, don't remember DD having once since he'd often borrow mine. So that's one less.

There was some shaman that got one towards the end - I forget her name. She usually played with another old school shaman, some ogre with a DE mask I think.

If you want to know who has a pre-nerf fungi staff, look no further than the server first thread:

First Fungus Covered Great Staff: Barfight

Aitiera (sp?) she used to hang out with me at fungi king a lot when i farmed the shit out of it on Pwny.

[mcy]

During my duration at fungi king at least 6 dropped before it was nerf'd. Add South the dark elf cleric to the list of accounts that acquired one.

[Jarnauga]

Rahvin from Divinity got one too, pretty sure

[Hailto]

If you want a shot at the staff, and the chance to play with about 30 other people on average by the time you get it. Try R99.
