This is directly when BDA started to fall off, so Trunge could technically be responsible for the BDA implosion to mediocrity

which possibly the most important part of the event =)

Expected profit per roll ((998*300)-(3*9500))/1001=14.385 plat

He takes an expected loss...

Value of prize items = 95k + 75k = 170k
Chance of winning per roll = 3/1001
Value of each roll = 170k * 3/1001 = 509p
Price he's selling rolls for = 300p
Expected loss for him = 209p per roll

I was camping Groi one night in SK when I randomly turned around and saw Quil flying. I quickly OOC'd but no one was claiming Quil. I run over, killed Quil and looted a cloak.

oh wow, I thought he was giving away the choice of item, not both :S

Edit: also just noticed, I missed out a zero in the notation of my previous calculation, but the result was correct.

Had an awesome Tormax story that got ate when I edited it.

EQ RNG is either completely awesome, or sucks. there is no inbetween.

I was on my wizard in his 30s and I came across the very elusive, very rare, later removed Ancient Cyclops spawn in South Karana. I fought him for a long time nuking him, rooting him, and medding before a friendly higher lvl druid showed up to help me finish him off.

I got jboots way before I could afford them or have a shot at camping one of the other AC spawns which were higher level than the SK one.

early on here one of my fav cash camps was the HBC in Mistmoore - easy quick 4k -5K sale, nearly instant.

This one time I remember gating to my bind point above the PH on the wall, seeing him up - bam - looted the HBC.

Brought that baby to EC, sold it, gated back and low and behold he is up again with another cloak!

That time along with this magical 2 hours in Droga where I got X2 Gauntlets of Potence and Idol of the Thorned was some of my best luck solo farming.

Have also ran down to Chief before - always checking Soothsayer - who this one time was up with earring. That was nice surprise.

see 3 torpors, win 3 torpors.

Winning a hiero with a 100 they day before duo'ing with a friend, him letting me have a JBB that dropped for my 40shm at the time. The next night I'm in a group and this happens. The roll was cropped out for my tumblr (had some 100 rolls on a WoW server played on, but you can read the chat)
