I spent months farming an embalmers skinning knife and had a second drop pretty much straight after. Both aspects of that were crazy RNG, but I do believe it was just the flip of the coin.

I've seen this with Treants in SK. Probably shouldn't admit to doing those since it's not true classic, but I have. have done them for hours/days and never came close to death. Effortless content. And then randomly a Treant spawned that was so gangster that I legit couldn't even kill it and had to log on my main to deal with it.

Or like the loot in LGUK and Mistmoore. Got multiple TBB, FBSS, HBC in a matter of an hour and a half, then had other instances where I spent days camping them and never saw anything. Not a complaint either, I think the extreme rare nature of loot is what made EQ cooler than games like WOW where everything is cookie cutter and handed out for free.

I farmed Cyndreela for 2 levels on my rogue. I want to say it was 51/52. The only hard part was getting the first kill when she was buffed with a pet up. After that it was ezmode.

Have a few pumice for breaking the camp. Engage with first click, second click is usually easy to get off as she likes to take a mo to cast a spell on the way in. Often that strips enough buffs to make fight easier.

That's not the hard part in my experience, and I've tried it on several different classes. I could genuinely believe a twinked melee with a fungus tunic, ton of HP, etc. would prob do well against her. A Rogue could backstab her while she is casting, maybe even occasionally get some fears off.

What gets me is, I will have a streak where I farm her like clockwork for 2 hours, and then a random Cyndreela spawns that resists almost everything I throw at her, even if I tash her first, by the time I kill her (and I usually do), I have two DoTs on me that I cannot survive and have no way of removing. I imagine Necromancer and Shamans could do a better job on her between being able to lifetap skeletons and remove these ailments, but Wizards, Enchanters, Magicians etc. are going to run into a lot of problems.

What I discovered is that even if I kill her for two hours straight, that single death sets me back to having less experience than I had before. And honestly the randomly ultra resistant Cyndreelas prob happen more often than every 2 hours. I remember when I finally hung my hat up it was because I realized I now had lost so much experience on her that I actually had more experience a week ago when I was doing ramps in City of Mist and decided it isn't worth it.

Why not charm a spec or cover so it eats all the dots?

i did not even click the picture my dawg i am seriously posting in pure hatred i just watched Blade(1998) and im done fuckin with you hoes. im so tired of yall *****z i swear to god yall dumb as fuck cant ever let a ***** just fuckkin vibe and be a half breed yall gotta try and summon la migra the blood god i fuckin hate you dumbass bitch

thats actually a good idea. i had been using animation pet because it can solo the spectres, but actually having pet that can attack / get aggro before i engage is a good idea. i might try this if i can log in :p havent been able to since the recent patch

feel really bad bout my last post i'm sorry dawg i'm going through it

its not that serious lol, its just the internet

also i do remember now why i didnt try specter last time, there was a shaman and sk duo'ing them. i had been trading clarity / haste for regen / sow. i do want to try it tho when i get a chance.
