Consider me an out of the circle noob, but did he mean ALL class related xp penalties? or just certain ones?

[Rararboker]

ALL.

No lay hands update? With velious gear the current state of LoH is laughable. Not even a 40% heal on my paladin let alone a useful heal on a warrior.

Patch notes from jan 2001:

'Lay on Hands' has been improved starting at 40th level.

I'm curious about this one too, I didn't see it mentioned in Rogean's list. I will give it a try tonight to see if it is still using the sub lvl 40 calculation.

Does this affect the pet penalty for them dealing the majority of damage to a mob?

Well if that was the patch note, it would be incorrect as they drop in Icewell and not Thurgadin. Not completely unprecedented to have a typo/wrong zone reference...

I would assume the reason there is little information on them is the Coldain tended to be everyone's first faction they were friendly with. Mostly because it became a trading hub and every race/class combination by default started non-KoS there and the most dungeon-like zones (Kael/Skyshrine) were far better grouping options than Thurg/Icewell are.

Most posts on EQClerics regarding Icewell either are Dain raids or Basement farm groups for spells/gems (which don't seem to happen here). Few people mention killing Coldain there but not many.

Technically Icewell is an extension of Thurgadin, also known as ThurgadinB so it is not even a stretch to say that patch note was referencing Icewell. The droppable loot table in ThurgadinA was also fairly empty so I am trying to think of what else that patch note would even reference. Another interesting point is the original comment I linked said a Lorekeeper dropped the pendant which almost makes me thinks it was dropping in ThurgadinA too because there are Lorekeepers there as well.

It is kind of curious that there is no mention of it on anywhere until April 19th, then over the next few weeks in April/May 2001 there are a half of dozen unique references archived in various places. That seems like more than a coincidence to me and points to the charged version of the item having not been in the game up to that point.

The pre-nerf pendant was one of the rarest items in the history of EQ and with just a handful ever known to exist I am going to stick to my theory that it was removed from the game right away and fell into the hands of only a few dwarf slaying adventurers on the first few days of Velious and then later introduced in April 2001 as the charged version.

Fixed, pending update

Checked again after today's patch, Strength of Nature is still not available on Cerila Windrider. Does it mean that we'll have to wait for the next patch?

Thanks for your work anyway [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

I believe the patch today only included code updates. This change will be active with the next database update.

[Oleris]

any clarification on Nilbog: Improved several faction hits in Velious raid zones.

[Colgate]

probably this thread

the only thing that remains unclear to me is if yelinak is the +75/-150/-50 version or the +750/-1500/-500 version for tormax/yelinak/clawsofveeshan, respectively

Things that weren't supposed to be dropping were dropping in Thurg in the mines and off other stuff. They just fixed the drops.
