I just don't get the obsession people have with those 2 items. I mean at least the mana stone is useful for awhile but the mask? It's a pure vanity item. The fact that people will be camping those things around the clock does not compute to me.

It's a (not indoor restricted, unlimited charge) shrink item for large races. For small races, it lets them avoid having to jump certain small ledges/steps and allows them to make certain jumps they can't otherwise make.

And Fashion Quest is the true endgame, with DE fashion being top tier. Plus you get to be a DE Monk, DE Ranger, DE Shaman, DE Druid, DE Paladin...

Illusion mask is pimp item to use even way past velious for bragging rights on your DE monk.

Manastone has limited usability in old world only, and basically is just for wiz / druid

You're not a DE monk. You're a human monk with an illusion mask. Everyone knows there are no true dark elf monks.

It allows you to go into some zones you would normally be KoS in (OT, Neriak to name a few) so it is more than just a vanity item.

Nobody that can't go there by default HAS to go to either of those places though. Tens (if not hundreds) of thousands of EQ characters have gone their entire lifespans without setting foot in either place. Camping an item for days so you can go use a bank you don't really need to use is crazy.

Again, you are not a DE monk, ranger or paladin. You are a human, wood elf or high elf wearing an illusion mask. Everyone else knows there are no dark elf pallies so they aren't scratching their heads wondering how you managed to make one. They know you are wearing the damn mask.

Honestly, these excuses are pretty weak. Why don't you just admit you have OCD and be done with it?

Uh, the goal isn't to trick people into thinking I somehow made a DE Pally. It's that a Dark Elf Paladin with a flaming sword looks a billion times cooler than a human or dwarf or whatever.

And if you have a guise, you WANT everyone to know you have a guise, because its a status symbol. I wouldn't want a guise on a class that can be a dark elf, except for small races and large races for the other reason I mentioned (free shrink / not getting blocked by certain geometry)

Sorry to break it to you but no sane person gives 2 shits that you have a guise bud. You're going on about having an item on a emulator server for a 20 year old game like it's a big deal. The only status that thing is a symbol of is unemployment.

Underrated post.

If my epic’d pally had a guise, he’d likely be 60 by now, instead of stuck at 51 for a year.

Because I think getting excited over some vanity item in a 20 year old game is stupid? Ok man, whatever you want to think...

Plays 20-year-old game. Doesn't think it's stupid.

Thinks how you play 20-year-old game is stupid.
