F*ck Dalnir

[wuanahto]

Level 55 mage
droptransfer a leviring
blow the first floor up
waddle a level 1 monk down to the chapel before the oneway coffin
boom, like 1k plat in gems and new monk has a new suit of crescent armor.

a corpse run may apply and dragging through floors

Crescent gear sucks and it’s super rare..

The best/worst part about Dalnir was this quest:

The drop rates on it are abysmal. My little brother had a mid level necro and I ran through Dalnir with him COUNTLESS times on my 60 monk until we finally got it put together.

Sweet item, and awesome graphic, but damn was it a grind.

Was I in the same Dalnir as everyone else? I brought my semi-twinked SK with 21% haste and an Iksar regen BP, was able to solo very well in the early 30s in the basement. Just gotta get downstairs. Nothing in the top floors sees invis

Visceral dagger quest was easy as SK for some reason... Much worse was the collecting pages in Swamp of No Hope

Dalnir gets a bad rap because it's packed with caster mobs and has complicated layout, though nothing too abnormal for a kunark dungeon. Most people are used to the same series of popular leveling zones, try going to dalnir, wipe to the casters, and write it off.

Some of the goos on the upper floors can see invis if you're unlucky. Always loved the zone.

Dalnir on p99 is unbalanced because it's caster heavy and all casters have full spellbooks here. They didn't used to on Live in era. It's harder than it was back in the day (though it was still crap even then).

Man, I had forgotten how off P99 was in that regard. When I first got here it was shocking (I think I even filed a bug), but now I've just gotten used to the unclassicness.

What do you mean? Caster mobs have 8 spells memmed, right? Matching their class. By full spellbook do you mean they have spells beyond their level?

As an example I'm fairly certain no mob in EQ would cast dispel except evil eyes and mobs that can proc it like those tentacles in Fear. On P99 practically every single caster has access to a dispel to strip your buffs.

I believe Dolalin means certain mobs spawned with only 3 or 4 specific spells (which were often below level, such as a mobs using their level 20 nuke when they are level 29). And some casters were stupid easy as they would spam cast the same nuke over and over and it had a long cast time, so a single bash could interrupt and then they would try casting again (and you'd take no melee damage, maybe a single round if they were on global cool down)

The spells would often be themed to the mob, like fire goblins use fire spells.
