Plane of Mischief - Gift Box Quest

[Check12345]

Found my logs from EQMAC PoM.

Here's the tldr since I ramble too much.

1. Early in PoM history, card rates were nerfed at least once, bottom line it was about a 1-5 percent change at a drop. This seems just about right on p99, going by feel unless someone wants to derive the drop rate from my logs. This was documented on the PoM EZBOARD, even odds the wayback machine will have the thread/post.

2. At the same time, the Gift Box quest was changed to allow Funny Money to be created without cards. This was documented on the PoM EZBOARD, even odds the wayback machine will have the thread/post.

3. The PoM we were running on EQMAC was where PoM was at the beginning of the PoP expansion. EQMAC had to have GM's to start eartha/earthb events. Quarm was unfinished and unkillable. He never died throughout the server's life.

Having said that, the 2 Funnies request by Peachy was from early PoM, 4 Funnies was what Peachy asking for up until the zone was killed with the server. 2 funnies = early PoM, 4 funnies later PoM.

This was me poorly stating how we made FM on Brell and how I never had to poof thrones on my live server:

This will be the final show of me losing my mind on the p99 forums. [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

Four funnies was the deal when the card drop rates were nerfed. Making gift boxes with thrones is/was/will be nuts nuts.

Can you confirm that the gift boxes are not aligned with your class the toon is? I just cant imagine receiving a gift box for a shaman (or any other) as a cleric.

Yes, absolutely. The boxes are completely random. We would trade the dolls because they were more common once the quest was updated to four funnies.

We would summon all the dolls and park them on mules since the the gift boxes themselves are lore.

edit: This is why it took approximately 40 hours to make a robe/bp. With the current gift box quest I would be guessing at 80 hours if you farmed everything -and- had good luck turning into Peachy.

I had to buy my doll and thrones, otherwise I wouldn't have a robe till Christmas. [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]
