Kanras: Taunt will no longer work on mobs above 50

whats the thinking behind this ? i dont remember that being classic at all, i know there is a patch later into kunark to allow taunt to work on mobs of all levels but dont remember taunt not working on mobs above 50, thought it was just mobs of even con or above.

Hard enough to keep aggro sometimes as it is, nevermind without taunt.

I was always told kunark is the expansion that allowed warriors to also taunt yellow mobs, kinda confused by this change too.

Anyway, thanks for all the work!

Thanks for hard work guys, but how about giving us warriors a break :P

Patch: Nov. 15, 2000
"-- Taunt: Increased effectiveness above level 50. Previously, creatures
above level 50 could not be taunted by means of the taunt skill."

So you'll have it back in like 5 months if they're directly following the time-line.

Actually, now that it's been brought up about Trak's spawn time being 3d, I think I can very clearly remember it being so. The reason I understood Trak being such a quick spawn at the time was because he was the bottleneck for VP keys. I'll do my best to post below different links to hopefully back this up..


Here's a 2001 post on monkly saying he's a 3d spawn;

and here's a very old Alla post talking about his spawn time, basically the first post on Alla talking about his respawn;

The day spread between Trakanon entries is a spread of 3-4 days on his DKP list.

150 2000-07-21 1.00 0.00 Trakanon 1 13.33 2.4 15.73
149 2000-07-17 1.00 0.00 Trakanon 1 12.33 2.4 14.73
148 2000-07-14 1.00 0.00 Trakanon 1 11.33 2.4 13.73
147 2000-07-14 -20.00 0.00 Trakanon Singing Steel Breat Plate -20 10.33 2.4 12.73
146 2000-07-09 1.00 0.00 Trakanon 1 30.33 2.4 32.73
145 2000-07-06 1.00 0.00 Trakanon 1 29.33 2.4 31.73

Is a small sample... I doubt that was a chain of 4 or 5 server resets to keep respawning him at 3 day intervals.

Agreed, this was the next place I was gonna look for info. The DKP wouldn't lie, and it goes back further than any of the other info we have.

Have to consider bard epic spawns as well.

Just wanted to say cheers for the update.

I don't think epic spawns were in until after the epics were already out? Originally when epics were put in people QQ"d about a lot of pieces being on long spawns that other guilds had locked down so they revamped it at some point to make it easier.

Okay, but Epics went in, 6 months after Kunark release?

- Epic quests are introduced (Sept. 19)

The dates of those 3-4 day spread DKP entries are in July, 2 months before epics were introduced.

Epics were not in the game yet.
