Something I've always been curious about. Devs decided the Rubicite BP was too OP and took it out of the game. Then on the very next expansion, they turned around and put the in the fungi which has a much more powerful regen, and can be used by additional classes. It just makes zero sense.

Rubicite wasn't taken out due to being 'too powerful', but due to being replaced by other items, with a little laziness mixed in. It was a placeholder set so melee types wouldn't have to level through the 20's and 30's in just bronze. Note that fine plate wasn't added until much later. Hence there was something of a gap in the original game's itemization between bronze and high-level dungeon drops. The patch that added the Temple of Solusek Ro replaced Rubicite with largely superior class-specific sets. The bit of laziness stems from how the developers added Ravenscale (and removed Rubicite) by placing it in Rubicite's former drop slots in Cazic Thule.

Robe of the Spring turns druids into actual healers. [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

Game breaking item if I ever saw one.

Another vote for recharging even though it ain't an item. The one thing by far that turns a supposedly classic server into a cesspool of 'ZERG IT, ZERG IT NAO.' Clearly broken.

How are people even comparing torpor to the greater heal staff.

Torpor slows the melee that you are casting it on + reduces movement speed.

Greater Heal staff allows a cleric to spam for 0 mana until they have to hit a CH. Its a phenomenal item

I am very sad no one has mentioned https://wiki.project1999.com/Red_Wood_Wand
There are some with 255 charges still floating around on the server. And yes it's rechargeable.

It may not seem significant with the damage it does, but it is instant and any class can use it. So a level 1 rogue can quad kite what ever mob they want with enough of these wands... or a 255 charge one.

20 of the 5 charge wands are plenty enough to do a quad of wyvern in cs.

Of course Cleric G.Heal staff is amazing, but what does it matter when 90% of the clerics on p99 are on character select screen in ToV / Kael most of the time...

A little less whine and a little more discussion on cheese in this game.

Generically? Probably http://wiki.project1999.com/Journeyman%27s_Boots

The answer depends heavily on the class and the era and the level.

http://wiki.project1999.com/Eye_of_the_Rigtorgn is pretty hilarious on a level 46 SK

Necros just get too many good clickies.

Not to mention free pet haste pants and CoS. Each is a different tool in your toolbox, and if you remove the rarity of the item from the equation and things that are useful at more than just level 46+ I'd probably go with Circlet of Shadow.

Want the vp necro staff so bad

Sp much free damage with epic + soul well and I can avoid casting 500 mana vexing every other mob lol

Torp does not compare, it isn't even in the same league. And torp is amazing.
