I don't really get why you should have the room cleaned to hold camp. I don't know any camp anywhere, where you're supposed to have everything clean...
Fungi king ? Need to clean everything ?
Any Seb camp ?
Kaesora camps ?
KC camps ?
Guk frenzy camp ?
Velk's camps ?
PoM camps ?
Sol A/B camps ?

This rule of "you need to be able to keep the camp clean" is DS specific. As it was stated earlier, this is classic EQ. You're here first, you keep killing stuff, you can solo some mobs of the camp, the named, it's your camp. I'd even argue you don't even have to be chain killing. Fungi king again. Who's going to ask someone to keep cleaning the tower and around ? Monks just flop every 20 mins, keep the corridor clean and single pull the PH.

If I'd like to just kill the pather and 1 or 2 mobs because that's all I can maintain down but I'm still able to single pull the named and solo it, why isn't it my camp ? That's exactly what everyone is doing at basically every camp.

I'm just asking because this is just inconsistent. Not that I actually care much, I don't need it and don't know anyone still "needing" this in 2024.

And to answer the OP : you're playing EQ. Camp this until you get the opportunity. You'll get it at some point. The longer you wait and push yourself, the greater the satisfaction.

Thanks for your input. To address your points:

The requirement to clear the entire room is indeed specific to the DS camp. The inconsistency you mentioned is part of the reason for advocating a rule change. Aligning the rules at DS with other camps would promote fairness and consistency.

I managed to secure the camp after 14 days of arriving as early as 5 am. This experience highlighted the unhealthy nature of the current system, which demands excessive time and effort.

"And to answer the OP": As mentioned, it’s currently impossible to get the camp because Castle maintains a timezone rotation allowing them to hold it 24/7. This monopolization prevents others from having any chance, making the situation untenable for most players.

Implementing a list/roll system would address these issues, ensuring that all players have a fair opportunity to camp DS without the need for unhealthy, prolonged camping sessions.
