Miscellaneous: Plane of Sky Efreeti Cycle Issues

[Dentalplan]

There's a couple things wrong with the current implementation of the Overseer of Air and Hand of Veeshan that I've wanted to post about for a while now. We've had some good momentum around fixing sky issues lately, so here's a few more things in that spirit:

1. Overseer of Air should always spawn with 2 fine steel daggers, and use them over whatever efreeti items he has.

On live he always had 2 daggers and would always be quadding. You would also never know what quest items he had just by looking at him due to this.

He hits in the 700s and casts an area effect DD, a targeted DD, and Death Touches. He also dual wields daggers, which need to be disarmed at the beginning of the fight or he'll be able to quad attack.

Specials: AoE DD; proc DD; Death Touch; Dual wield daggers

Plenty of other links for this if needed, plus he still always wields daggers if you check him out on EQ live even today. Also, just try to find a screenshot of him not from p99 where he isn't holding daggers.

2. Hand of Veeshan should roam his island rather than just standing in front of the windmill.

You can see his roaming pattern pretty clearly on the magelo page:

Drexxell also made a map of his pathing pattern for his PoSky guide - Hand of Veeshan Pathing Map

3. Hand should have a gigantic aggro radius and be aggroable from Island 7.

On live if you stepped into the NE quadrant of island 7 uninvis while the Hand is up, he would aggro from there.

From Drexxel's guide:

While clearing Island 7, our raid stepped around to the North side of the temple, and the Hand of Veeshan immediately aggro'd, Death Touched a party member, and brought himself down from Island 8 to Island 7.

There is 1 level 63 "Hand of Veeshan". It will aggro about 1/4th of Drake island toward Butterfly island and will assist.

well this explains the worthless Efreeti Dirks ( used in no quests) he drops currently http://wiki.project1999.com/Efreeti_Dirk

Id wager those are the daggers hes DWing, not FS ones.

It should actually be 2 fine steel daggers:

Forgot that was in Drexxell's guide. Incase you needed a better idea of where he paths.
