My biggest EQ superstition was the same as many others - if you didn't loot corpses, respawn would take longer. Many times I've found myself saying to the group, 'clear corpses!'

Let me confirm that I have been bound by many of these myths myself in early EQ.
-Moving around to get melee to work better...check
-Sea Monster in the water...check
-Odd rituals to get spawns to pop...check
-Clearing corpses to speed up spawn timer...check

I always wanted to clear up corpses, and still do. It was a little bit about video performance, but it was mainly to keep the area clean and avoid annoying mistargets when trying to click on something.

Myths?

Maybe this rumor was spread by folks just trying to unload their wares, but more than a few people told me back in the day that if I had a full suit of black iron armor, it would have 'magical' properties. Like some added stat bonus for a full set, or a random proc of invulnerability in battle...yeah, we were wishing for the moon there !

Has anyone mentioned that having a Plains Pebble in your backpack would make you eat less?? Where did this myth come from? Did it work at one time??

Not in original Vellious - it's Fabled.

And I still clear corpses religiously [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]
