Have to consider bard epic spawns as well.

The first mention of An Undead Bard on ZAM isn't until April 19th, 2001

Epic Quests:

As part of the Plane updates, we've made several adjustments to Epic quests for a number of classes. Previously, questers of many classes were put in direct competition with regular non-questing adventurers for a few coveted
spawns. In these cases, a new step has been added to separate the "Epic Encounter" NPCs from the "Epic Quest" NPCs.

For those who are mid-quest, all quest requirements have remained the same. In other words, if you turn the same items into the same NPC, the same reward applies. What has changed is that some components may be in a different location from where you expect them. It is recommended that you check with the last NPC in line or other adventurers to find where you need to go next.

The Undead Bard did not exist until this time, March 14th, 2001- so, by this logic we can know that Trak was a 3 day spawn because when those DKP logs were made there was no such thing as An Undead Bard, this is backed up by it not showing up on Alla until April of 2001, and by the patch notes I've posted above.

Kanras: Taunt will no longer work on mobs above 50

whats the thinking behind this ? i dont remember that being classic at all, i know there is a patch later into kunark to allow taunt to work on mobs of all levels but dont remember taunt not working on mobs above 50, thought it was just mobs of even con or above.

Hard enough to keep aggro sometimes as it is, nevermind without taunt.

Thanks for hard work guys, but how about giving us warriors a break :P

Kunark was released on April 24, 2000.

"NOVEMBER 15, 2000

# Taunt: Increased effectiveness above level 50. Previously, creatures above level 50 could not be taunted by means of the taunt skill. Now, most creatures below the character's level can now be successfully taunted. As a note, the chance to taunt a creature above 50th level is smaller than that of a creature below 50th."

• Kanras: Taunt will no longer work on mobs above 50
  

Will the agro on tash, malosi and root no longer be so abnormally high to compensate?

Whaaaaaaat? Good thing clerics are starting to get their 96% rez!

[Wutno]

Rogean: The /target command now requires line of sight.

This is not classic. I'm curious as to the reasons behind this.

Wutno~
