50% pet xp penalty was in from launch. People were talking about it in April 1999. I've debunked this many times.

There is hard data from ShowEQ showing up in early 2000 about it too.

I played a mage on live, but only post Kunark, my friends said the xp penalty was added recently before I joined and I remember it being lifted in Luclin sometime, I was actually curious because I still hear conflicting info.

I feel your pain mages..

Hopefully they get the mage pets rolling soon. I'm not a mage but love the class and to group with them.

[Erati]

the worst part is not really knowing how strong we could be if our pets were in

Mages will have to plan where to solo starting from square 1 once the pets are in bc how it works now you have to basically figure out how to solo without your pet doing much besides a slightly damaging speedbump as you nuke.

Nobody has leveled a mage like you guys have in over 20 years. Stop and think about that.

I’m pretty sure people levelled mages the same on blue as they did on green.

Let’s just agree the mage changes on green turned into a broken shitshow neither you or Nilbog predicted, and leave it at that. They’ll be patched properly (hopefully) in January.

You can solo specs from 35-47 with jboots

then get in some lguk, highkeep noble or w/e farm groups

its not the end of the world

I don't know either way when mages got their research and vendor pets tbh, this one's something I couldn't tell ya as I wasnt a 50 mage 2 months in lol

I do think it is very surprising they couldn't even research their pets past 34

I’m with you on it not being the end of the world, it’s not even close. But please don’t advocate people go put themselves on one of those unhealthy as fuck legacy item lists. Fuck that.

I don't recommend it to anyone but jboots isn't the worst one

The item itself is attainable within 6 hours of camping, about standard for an EQ rare. The rest you can blame on the demand for the item. Sorry if you're old now and your body can't take it. Mine certainly isn't any younger.

Or.

Make a shaman alt and drop transfer yourself bags of sow pots. Killing the specs should pay for the pots and then some.

I don't think we should change classic EQ with old age sympathy mechanics. It is Brad's classic vision to keep items rare and people hanging around at camps and socializing. I enjoyed the chatting and pals I met at camps. You might too.

I wasn’t advocating for any changes, more just that we need to suck it up and either deal with it or do something else until the patch in January. It seems fairly clear by this point that the interim fix that was being planned isn’t going to go ahead.
