Velious Spells - Community Input/Discussion

[Vandy]

I have found several instances on Alla from posts in 2001 where he drops a different amount of spells. 2 ususlly each time and sometimes 3 or 4. I'm don't think it was 100% on all 4 in that time frame. EQMac may have been different.

Loot UBER - Mob puss By: Anonymous
Posted @ Wed, Feb 7th 7:43 PM 2001 Score: Default[2.00]
Lodizal is not exactly tough. One well balanced 55+ group (incl. at least 1 Warrior using Defensive Discipline, 1 Cleric, 1 Slower + 3 other classes, preferably high damage dealers) can kill the turtle pretty easy. Lodizal double hits for max. 300 and has about 30k HPs. Godlike damage but without all the gimicks (AE Fear, AE Damage, Complete Healing) it one of the best mobs in the game in regards of risk/reward ratio.

It usually drops one or two shell pieces for the shield quest, the map for the mask quest, one or two items out of the other loot (Boots, Ring, Club, Belt) and 2-4 level 59/60 Velious spells.

Spawns just south of the gnolls (located near Frozen Tower) on a large patch of glacier. One well built group of 55+ could take him down. His loots are very rewarding.

Shell (quest for Lodizal Shield)
Piece of Map (Quest of Eyepatch of Plunder)
Boots (AC, some stats, and right-click effect AC)
Ring (Stats and right-click enduring breath)
Belt (Stats and automatic fatigue regen)
59/60 Spells (Usually 2 will drop)

To the guy who said it jumped him for 1400 and bashed for 900. He was obviously not speaking of Lodizal in Ice Clad Ocean but Kelorek`Dar in Cobalt Scar. Kelorek`Dar is a sea dragon. There are no otters in Ice Clad Ocea, only Cobalt Scar ;p

Good luck ;p

cant say for sure but it wouldnt make sense that you could just translocate someone to CS and they pick up the tooth for future ports.

It used to be a big deal making sure all your characters tripped to CS for that tooth. If you didnt have a key you had to find someone with a key to group with to get into the zone (or quest/kill for a key which wasnt always an option)

Pending update,
Added appropriate teeth to the wizard Translocate spells.

Hsargra’s Wrath (wiz) (60) (quest) (added March 27, 2001 patch, with Incarnadine BP Nerf)
Porlos’ Fury (wiz) (60) (quest) (added March 27, 2001 patch, with Incarnadine BP Nerf)

Fixed, pending update.

Note:
-The npcs for these quests are disabled until ~March2001 except for Lawyla, Jualicn, and Tomekeeper Bjordnessin. They will not discuss relevant quest text or take item turn ins until ~March2001. If they shouldn't spawn, will need to know.
-The items required for these quests will drop when it becomes ~March2001.

Were Small Portal Fragments always required for Translocate spells? Should they be added to the Solusek vendor in ~May 2001?

Additionally, this is in a thread I posted in 2010. Not sure where the actual allakhazam link is, but indicates the addition of ring/circle Surefall as well as Velious rings in November 2001. Is this correct?

New Teleport SpellsNov 9th, 2001 at 3:02 PM by Allakhazam

Not mentioned in the patch notes are several new teleport spells that are now available. Druids can now self-teleport to Wakening Lands, Cobalt Scar and Great Divide and can both self and group teleport to Surefall Glades (about time too). Wizards get self teleports to Wakening Lands and Great Divide and translocations to all the Velious locations. Get the Wizard Spells at Solusek Ro and the Druid Spells in Greater Faydark.

Ring of Surefall and Circle of Surefall
Yes. I can't find a specific patch note at the moment, but here is a corroborating post from the alt.games.everquest circa December 2001.

Not long. It was added maybe 6-8 weeks ago, if I recall correctly.

When I played my wizard in the late velious era I always had to have stacks of fragments to TL people. I have no idea if it was like that on launch, but I know 100% for sure that they were required before Luclin launched.

Also the Surefall ports should be sold by the Ranger merchants instead of the Druid merchants according to the comments.

-Cannibalize IV will not drop until ~May2001

Question for Nilbog / anyone with the bane spells:

Are wizard banes requiring belly cast on beta? Myga is a BITCH to find.

Iirc they shouldn't require a belly cast as they do not on the live test server, although lures etc still should (and also do on the test server). I'm not finding a lot on this either way.

This spell was introduced as a balance factor for wizards because of belly casting and AEs. Wizards did not have a pet to contribute outside of the mana drain components of some of the big dragons (Aaryonar for one) so this spell was introduced.

Not sure on this. Needs discussion.
