Oh man, I love the otters.

Totally awesome nilbog! Very exciting, thank you for all the hard work.

Never stepped foot in Velious on Live, looking forward to new content.... awesome =)

Hide/sneak combo is the same as regular, un-shroud-of-stealth invis. The sneak component of the combo makes you invis/indifferent con so long as you remain in any part approximately 200 degrees the mobs backside.

Not on p99, it isn't. Hide (by itself, don't have experience on here with a rogue) hides you from, like, 99.999% of things in the game, including most of the things that see through normal invisbility.

Examples: Undead in unrest see through invis, but not hide. Some dogs in KC see through invis, but not hide. Etc.

More questions
 

4. What was the minimum/maximum loot drops for the raid targets of Kael?

i.e. Statue of Rallos Zek could drop 4 items. Sometimes he dropped 3. Did he ever drop 2 or 5, or 6?

What about Derakor, King Tormax, Avatar of War?

5. Shard of Hsagra's Talisman for the Sleeper's Tomb key. This was not in with the launch of Velious iirc. Certain giant raid targets (tormax, derakor, statue, velketor) began dropping this piece at some point. When was it?

adding 4 and 5 to OP.

Thanks.

4. Don't remember more than 4 item drops

5. I think that was in luclin and earliest info I could find was oct 2002....will research some more

Looking for Info but max drop was 4 and it was pretty rare. You could also gets screwed and get 2 this was also rare. Common drop was 3. Seeing if I can find old website we used for kael loot back in the day.

5. Looks like Afterlife penetrated the Tomb in late February, 2001. Velious launched December 5, 2000.

I'm not sure which guild made it into the zone first (Fires of Heaven?)

Update: found a post on Alla from Jan 2001 about Sleeper's access: http://web.archive.org/web/200201241...tml?zstrat=123

My guild on live apparently has logs from back then still so....

Tormax:
1 - Head, Crown, Gloves, Sash
2 - Head, Wrist, Horn, ST Key (May 2003)
3 - Head, Sash, Gloves, ST Key (Mar 2003), -- Mention of 2 axes being bought in DKP system, I think from trash though?
4 - Head, Boots, Boots, ST Key (Mar 2003), -- Mention of 1 axe
5 - Head, Sash, Boots, Horn, Bracer, ST Key (Dec 2002)
6 - Head, Horn, Ring, Sash, ST Key (Nov 2002)
7 - Head, Sash, Bracer, Ring, Boots, ST Key (Nov 2002)
8 - Head, Gloves, Belt, Spell?, ST Key (Nov 2002)
9 - Head, Bracer, Boots, Gloves, ST Key (Oct 2002)
10 - Head, Gloves, Sash, ??? (Sep 2002) -- This log looked incomplete.

If you need more logs from around the 2002-2003 era I can get you them. If you think thats too late / they changed the drop amounts from 2001-2002 thats cool too but I'd doubt it.
