![]() I have been reading up on Seaworthy Planking to prep myself for the green server... It's my 5 year plan to get my blue ranger a BFG! Everybody laugh. However, I found something far more interesting!
I see a post dated November 2001 confirming the planks were attainable. Quote:
And again Sep 21 2002 Quote:
A poster later elaborates on the post-groundspawn mechanic: Quote:
The Sea Worthy planking page http://everquest.allakhazam.com/db/item.html?item=4976 mentions the following on Nov 04 2001 at 11:29 PM: Quote:
Pulling these sources together, it seems the ground spawns got replaced by untargettable level 60 'trap' NPCs. These seem to be at different locations to where the planks were. Most of these NPC's were basically defunct PHers that existed only to inform players of where the new spawns could be (they would give a text read out as you passed over them, "no wood here". At this point I have not found the mechanics of how these trap PHers could be turned over. They don't seem to have despawned by being stood on/triggered, but they would of course have been cycled by server resets. On occasion one of these traps would not be 'no wood here' and instead give text "Some Planks of wood wash up to your feet" and would spawn a planking. | ||||||
