4th post in that thread

Ahh was looking for hedge not garden.

Interesting. I wonder if they will do these changes or not since they seem to revert back to our current mobs later in our timeline.

What are you talking about "it undermines the entire zone"? It takes FOREVER to farm there, an absolutely insanely ridiculous amount of time to ever make the class armor if you can't make funny money but using the top-left combine. What are you talking about "no one would ever work through the quests"? There are no quests. It's just a ton of farming. Without the top-left combine to make the funny money, it's not worth trying to get the class armor. Only a total no-life person would spend the time on it, a scary amount of time.

No one is forcing you to obtain PoM armor. It was rare on live and it will likely be rare here. Some obtained it using 4 funny money before there was any mention of the top left combine. I am also not here to wipe your tears or be your rage cushion, so watch it.

Are jesters dropping?

LOL, all I wanted was for you to respond to your reasoning of "it undermines the entire zone". The zone is nothing but farming and it seems you think having to farm an obscene amount = a better zone. Words + Top Left combine would be a strange EQMac-only bug if that was the case. Sounds like the kind of thing that would have been a bug in classic as well and people just didn't realize it at the time, which was the case with many such things back then.

This appears to be proof the combine is classic, was known, and not specific to EQmac.

Also:

9. Get a Gift Box
Give Peachy D'Vicci four funny money (this has been two in the past, but is FOUR now)

I also see 4 funny money being needed as far back as May 2001.

There is also the matter of the trade-ability of some of the items

Nice find

It seems the Top Left combine for Funny money was common knowledge and functional in 2001, atleast among some circles. Not just some 2003 or EQMac Anomaly.

Making it 4 Funny Money and Top Left working would still require 2 throne/2 crowns for any piece of armor. It would also alleviate the camping of A/W4 and Thrones by a little bit as you won't need to melt down extra ones just to get Funny Money. Getting 2 throne / 2 crown is still quite a feet/time sink and will keep the armor rare.

IMO - P99 should have the Top Left + WoW combine for Funny Money and it should require 4 funny moneys.
