Discussion on 20 minute engage rule for undead bard (trak guts) when next patch comes

[Man0warr]

UDB is supposed to be 18-24 hours after a Trak kill, and he spawned and was up for a long time yesterday before being triggered.

I got a few white scales, he me up with an offer, no I don't want to haggle.

any info on if he is the "e-z" trak and if he did indeed drop a BP as well?

[arsenalpow]

He dropped guts and cloak of piety and the fight seemed close to a normal Trak engagement. He shroomed a person, fired a few AEs, tried to cast some dumb spells, blinded some folks. The usual fare.

I know for a fact VSR is not "classic" per my understanding of classic timers, and wondering if UDB is the same.

What is VSR doing now? Because VSR's spawn time under goes another change in a forth coming patch.

Well, tell me your price chest in PM.

So UDB seems to be working as intended. He was up for HOURS yesterday, and BDA casually COH'ed down, cleared jumpy/prot, then did the UDB turn in and wrecked Trak. At no time did we have any competition. Trak dropped guts and cloak. He blinded me, shroomed our tank, and then killed me with an AE. He seems like a full fledged Trakanon. The "competition" for UDB seems to be non-existent.

No one has the scales right now.

if you don't want to haggle it would help if you gave folks your asking price [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

And since the rate at which scales will enter the market is 1/4 the rate at which guts can enter the market, UDB will never be the bottleneck. And if someone decides to farm guts for MQ, the guts will tank in value because of the lack of scales. And if someone decides to farm UDBs for BPs, the already low value of BPs will tank further. Then this cost will have to be divided by the 12 (a minimum?) it takes to kill UDB-Trak and the ROI will be terrible.
