Why the bananas is Quillimane FTE?

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.

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

Getting your friends loot is NOT getting screwed. As long as the camp requires 4 people, then yes, /random is the fair way. I've gotten many cloaks for my own characters and for other people's characters under the current rules.

I guess if the rules said "whoever kills placeholders is the only person who can kill Quillmane," then yeah, it would only require one person to do it. Then, if someone kills a Quillmane you spawned, you can petition them.

But...how will you know who sniped your Quillmane?

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*

It's risk vs. reward.

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

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

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.

P99 has a wiki? I should start editing it.
