Why the bananas is Quillimane FTE?

[Izmael]

If things like Quillmane were civilized, EQ would not be EQ.

EQ is drama and we love it partly because of that.

Isn't the "more" fair way to just camp it with your friends until you all have cloaks? Then everyone gets a cloak, and everyone contributed equally... *taps head*

Yup, the "fair" way....that ends up someone getting really screwed....camping it for days and days and days and always losing the roll.



It....doesn't....have to be that way....could just make it a camp....and suddenly it wouldn't "require" 4 people.....



That's just what I'm sayin! We gotta get this changed! Because it is bonkers!

Not too worried about myself, I'll get it sooner or later. I just gnome around anyhow :P But it is pretty bananas in general.

I was giving you the benefit of the doubt on whether you were a little bitch or not until this point. But complaining that /random isn't fair sealed the deal.

If quillmane were a camp and one person could claim it, we'd see as many people on here complaining that they've got a few friends who want to do it together but it is always locked down by one level 50 warrior who takes forever to find and kill the PH and the named spawns and it isn't "fair" how long he monopolizes the spawn for to get cloaks that he is just trying to sell loot rights to anyway.

Sounds great....EXCEPT that the camp is pretty fast and getting a cloak doesn't take that long....

So "someone dominating the camp" isn't like manastone, where you wait for 8 hours for a drop ..... AND the item is no drop.... which means no one is really farming it (outside of selling some loot rights thing). And then just make it "once you get one, you gotta move on".

So....nice FUD, but no ones buying it lol. This isn't a very complicated or hard camp, the only think mucking it up from people coming in grabbing their cloaks and going is this weird zone wide FTE for a pretty easy camp.

I haven't seen any/many threads concerned about this specific issue in the many years I've been on these forums, so it probably isn't considered a very big deal by very many people at all. I've definitely seen more posts of people who solo the camp regularly to sell loot rights talking about it, so it probably isn't as difficult of a camp to get a cloak solo at as you are suggesting. I've been part of multiple cloak camping PUGs and premades over the years, and I've never run into a problem with /random loot. Your problems all seem to be exaggerated.

The bottom line is the staff don't want to deal with camp disputes in outdoor zones, so they made a blanket rule that there is no such thing as a camp outdoors unless it is a single spawn point.

Quillmane doesn't have a single spawn point and so can't be camped by a single person.

The forums have been over this many times. The thing to do is bring 3 friends, or find 3 randoms who are willing to team up, and have each person camp one spawn point. Then it's not FTE. Or, you can solo the PHs and just hope to catch it first. Or in between!

And by the way, there are people who solo it for hire. They successfully sell cloaks ("loot rights," of course) to their clients. However, people can snipe Quill from them. Sometimes these people will employ others to watch the spawn points.

One thing players do is bind near the Hermit. That means you can kill PHs until Quillmane spawns (check the zone by doing /pet attack quillmane after you kill each PH), run west to the wall to see if Quill is there; if not, gate to Hermit and check there; if it's not there, then port self to North Karana and run back into South Karana to check for a Quill that spawned at the centaurs.

Anyway, don't get frustrated - just get a team!

Surely such a positive little Gnome isn't mad you can't solo farm Quillmane on a level 8 rogue?

This.

The quillmane camp will be FTE since the spawning technique is a well kept secret and few people on the server know how it works. I got no clue how it works so the way id camp quillmane is to just find one spot I know it spawns and wait patiently. I heard that the killing of placeholders is just a wives tale on it.

[Cen]

I still don't see why have people have a problem getting it if it actually did have placeholders. If you know your killing one of the three placeholders as they spawn then don't leave that spawnpoint and kill the horse when it spawns there?

[Vallaen]

Except the exact walk through on how to spawn Quillmane is posted on the wikipedia and its quite easy.

All i wanted to add was

THAT SHIT IS BANANAS B A N A N A S
