Is Velium Mastodon Fur classic (pre-Luclin)?

Earliest I could find on Velium Mastadon Fur was Dec 6, 2002:

Drop rate
"This is found on the Glacier Mastadons and on Tantor, the L63 named Mastadon, in Western Wastes. I'd estimate drop rate at 1 in 10-15 for getting a hide. Rarity *should* read RARE."

I didn't know as much about this place as I thought I did... now I do :T

I'm so freaking excited to see your (and the rest of the staff's too) hard work come together in Velious! [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

Looks like #5 and #6 are still unresolved. Any updates?

Some things to note about the BFG. (I know this is a West Wastes post)

The plank can spawn tons of places in Iceclad, not just what is in the stock emu code.

Also, and most importantly, what made it so rare was that if the plank spawned underwater, you couldn't pick it up. That was a bug that wasn't fixed prior to the plank being out of the game. Basically, every time the zone crashed/server went up and down, people with Showeq would run check if it was on dry land, if not you couldn't get one until the server/zone rebooted.

Rangers can Trueshot while meleeing with the BFG, and get double melee damage, since it's flagged Bow/Mainhand. Cool for when shit is stuck in walls. Because of this, rangers could also melee Emperor Ssra with a BFG in Main Hand/Bane Bow equipped.

Also, the Right Click is very resistible.

Kins,

Are you saying that if ANY item you were wearing had bane damage, then all your attacks did?

5. Quest Leuz's Task. Should this exist with the Scout and Kromzek warriors?

Yes, definitely. Backing my personal knowledge :

Bracers / talisman of benevolence =>

"heya,
this guy is lvl 58, and has no faction hits. KoS to all. you need to kill him as a part of the Benevolence quest (for CoV allies)."

I recall doing it for an ogre shadow knight that went from twink to main for a pal and I.

6. Shardwing Courier. Quest Wenglawks the Traitor.

Yeah frozen shard is in this era. Most rogues capable of doing it (55+) had their epic raiding (and were no longer raiding if they didn't get off their asses and finish it).

Backup for evidence:

What else is unresolved?

[koros]

He dropped Frozen Shard since release... that's confirmable. The quest itself is harder to confirm.

I'd put a wager it was in from the start however.

Also want to toss a mention out to the aggro radius on the wolves. The default PEQ database had a really low radius set last time I checked.

They were much scarier on live (as a poor cleric without invis).

No, it was a bug with BFG being flagged as Bow/Main Hand. If you placed a Bane Bow in your ranged slot, the code flagged all 'bow' damage as Bane damage. Meleeing with your BFG still counted as 'bow' damage, therefore it got the bane flag.

It's the same code confusion that allowed you to use Trueshot to get double damage while melee'ing with the BFG.
