What was your favorite camp?

[El Prez]

For me it might have been fungus. If doing it with a team you needed to find a way to keep everyone satisfied and the loot fair, a difficult task when pixel lust could plague the hearts and minds of even Norrath's most noble. This camp brought about some pretty interesting systems in effort to keep numbers strong and the loot flowing. Never a dull moment when opportunistic pre parked characters could jump you at the worst of times.

Duo/trio teams came up with some of the craziest ways of tackling this loot piñata. Sense corpse targeting, pacify hax, mob displacement, crazy new pull locations, unheard of game mechanics, warp points, sneak pulling madness. With all the innovation that came out of that camp I probably wouldn't have been that shocked if I saw someone killing the king in TT. This camp is one of the most awesome examples of how fun a game can become when you gave the players freedom instead of invisible walls. Well except for the Karanas, but what are you gonna do?

Even though this camp was an awesome way to explore the not so mind numbing blue side of EQ, the pvp was not lacking in the slightest. Your worst mistake was ever assuming you had it in the bag. Even with all your enemies plugged/dead and your force fully buffed and an easy single pull looking like the only obstacle between you and a fungi. There was no guarantee that the fight did not have another hour or two to go, at the end of which you might be on the rustled end of a fungi drop, or thanking whatever deity you subscribe to that it was just a robe.


Hope you bitches share some stories instead of telling me how much I suck.

I feel bad for losers who work at mcdonalds and can't play EQ while getting paid.

Fungus is a very fun camp. My favorite, however, is bear pits. I have slewn literally over 70,000 bears/wolves according to my logs.

Never did this camp. I know there was always the occasional YT from permafrost which I can only assume came from the pits. What was the pvp dynamic? How many mobs were you generally rotating through? Did it involve entering any cool areas of the zone or just staying on the flat ground?

PvP dynamic was that there could suddenly be a fully buffed and vp geared necro, wizard, etc, etc, popping in on you with 0 notice while you have 12+ mobs aggroed.

When I solo'd on my druids, I usually had about 6 aggroed at a time, and when I was duoing sometimes we would pull all 18ish bears/dogs/spiders at the same time.

I usually had about 5-10 minutes of downtime to succor out, resow, and med up. Usually never went below 60% mana on my druid when I was PL'ing down there.

In a full group, it was afk-easy. No chance of death from pve, plenty of space to pvp, and tons of consistent xp.

Got about 20%/hr at level 59 soloing.
Less in groups, of course, even with the xp bonus on red, you are still sharing mobs that you don't need help to kill.

At 52, I think I only kept about 10 mobs down, but it gets very easy very fast.

SK's and Rangers also have a great time fear kiting down there, can usually keep about 5 or 6 down around level 55 without going below 80% mana.

Biggest thing about bear pits is that you will go 8 hours with no interruption gaining tons of xp for no effort and then suddenly someone will gate in and start luring you down and pelling your dots, roots, pets.

It's pretty easy to handle if you are prepare though, just like anything in Everquest.


I remember one time, I caught Trauer (revy) down there on his enchanter (moron) and he was too dumb to run to Vox and get a free succor so he just stood there trying to mez me while I slashed him to pieces, lol.

Don't be dumb and its a great spot where nothing bad can happen to you.

Side note: I see tons of people boxing down there, like Make/Opps. Druid/monk is a very popular box down there but it's always super obvious when the monk fd's whatever is on him and the druid fights you 1v1 then when the druid dies the monk fights you 1v1, lol. Free YT's generally if you see a pair like that down there.

My favorite duo down there was a dw helm pally + a shaman. Pally just aggroes every single mob, runs in circles around the sham while he roots them up, then spams dw helm while the shaman cannis and root rots 18ish mobs at a time

It's slower than a druid soloing but it's a good time.

Yikes don't think a single person read this

All of Dalnir, at level. Love that zone.

Probably the most unforgiven zone full of undercons.

I read it. My druid is 48 and I'll be headed there soon.

I loved doing South Karana Treants and Solusek gnomes
