EQ superstitions thread

Griffin spawns in EC are tied to number of players <20 in zone. The more players, the higher the spawn rate.

I still to this day don't like swimming in lake rathe because of the monster down there

After a failed tradeskill combine, reusing any returned component/ingredient, such as a bottle when brewing, will increase the chances of another fail.

Also, not sure if a superstition or not, but with tradeskills level up it feels like they do not happen randomly, but more in a sequentially grouped together manner (if that makes sense), so if you have a skill up, continue combining because there are more coming up in the next couple of combines.

Feign Death has a lower chance to succeed if are being hit as you fall down, so to maximize your chances you need to turn auto attack off (not a superstition according to the wiki), wait until the next hit and then back off a bit and Feign Death.

Feign death straight up never works if you use it while auto attack is on, this is a real thing. You gotta make a macro to /attack off and then flop.

Following tradeskill recipes exactly. I always put ingredients in the forge/oven/etc. in the exact order they are listed.

Did this religously.
Defo worked...

Also who has combined a bunch of stuff in a toolbox when they used to be light or cheap (dont recall the reason we used em)?

this isnt superstition at all, at least turning off attack part

Much of this game is dogma guised as fact. Most of my annoyances are from class bias/blanket statements rather than disclaimers per encounter or backed by parses.

In ancient times of Everquest, it was thought Agility was a stat that actually made a difference in how much damage you'd take. After extensive testing it was shown to not have any effect whatsoever, yet the myth persisted. It made Black Pearls very valuable at one time.

They eventually admitted it was true, and fixed it. I'm not sure in what era it was fixed though.

Sitting on top of a spawn location would keep the mob from spawning.
