Mages are up shit’s creek I guess

Clarity and mage pets on vendors were both patched in in May 1999.

Two months from now.

And it is certain pets at each level right? I think it might rotate around.

People keep saying this and it doesn't seem like it's true. From the things I've read while doing research, pets had been stealing xp since EQ beta.

This is actually incorrect. At launch, they didn't have pet EXP sharing in at all. They ultimately implemented changes when players realized how to abuse the system with AFK pet camping. They also changed Necro FD to have a fixed duration around the same time for similar reasons (FDing in perpetuity making AFK pet EXPing extra safe because the mob wouldn't put you on the hate list).

yea its like 1 or 2 pets per range. sometimes you get vendor fire and earth, sometimes its water/air, etc

This only affects the early advanced players. By the time the average leveling player gets to 24 there will be words on vendors or players selling them.

It's not going to crush mages just slow us down a little, we can take it.

Keep on rolling this server is turning out great!

This is correct. The other very, very early bug with experience that was available on launch was that there was a small bonus for being in a group from incoming experience from a killed target, and this bonus was increased based on group size. No new news there, you say? Well, people were spam inviting people into groups in different zones while solo killing in their zone of choice without any of the group members being in that zone. They got the full exp of the target that was killed since no one else in the group was in the zone, plus the bonus. This was nerfed about two to three weeks before the change to /consent to be a corpse drag only.

I'll confess, guilty as charged. My guild and I abused that expeience bug. Probably the only time in my gaming life I was happy to be solo leveling in Everfrost.

So many noobs when it comes to research. Literally one of the easiest skills to raise and make a profit on. Here's some tips... many people sell all sorts of pages, words, runes and research components to vendors... keep an eye out for those things. Buy them, and stockpile them in your bank. As you level, remember to keep putting 5 more points into research skill with every level...yes...your trainer will do the work for you...all the way up to max. You're welcome.

Use your stockpile of pages, words, runes to sell researched only spells to lazy fools who don't know any better. You're welcome again.
