Worst EQ Camp Ever

[Versch]

Pained Soul took me 16 hours for my first VP key. So much hate for that guy and the endless spectrals that spawned in place of him.

pained soul sucked, not as bad as the DL skeleton though.

I was a guild officer during the Luclin days. I remember carrying people kicking and screaming around the moon getting all the shards and emp key pieces. I usually had pretty good luck from the stone guys on that shard. The Maiden's Eye shard on the other hand...

Thats what I meant was ME.

There was a bard in our guild that knew how to get it almost instantly, all of had the ME shard in a few days.

ar was just my personal worst because my friend (savarin the jerk) Ninja looted it from me because I went afk and they rolled without me, 10 hours into camp I take a 2 minute piss break and he takes it.

He is a jerk!

I despise rare item camping in general.
occasionally I happen to Xp at the same camp for 6-8 hours at a time (very rarely however), but it was for just general XP/loot.

The longest on purpose item camp I participated in was for Fabled SSOY which lasted about 4 hours, which is like nothing by classic EQ standards. I never want to do that again [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]
I prefered to obtain cash through EC/bazaar and just buy what I need.

Quillmane on my mage while doing epic quest, was in karana for 3 days camping him for 10-12 hours a day. He finally pops, I get a message saying that he was up from a few people I had made friends with in the zone. (camps were heavily respected on my server) I went to the location I was given and 2 groups ended up killing quillmane for a mage that wasn't in zone at the time. Clock ticks down to 20seconds on the body before the mage shows up. A druid in one of the groups was saving corpse by keeping his char in the "looted" position. Mean while I was telling them all that I had been camping quillmane for days and that anyone in karana can back me up on that claim. Mage shows up and i just start spamming my right click and i looted that peggy cloak. They freaked out and ended up getting a GM to come down, luckily the GM was on my side due to the body having been rotting for so long (under the 5 minute timer so anyone can loot it) and he checked out the logs to see how long I was there. Ended up getting my epic about 4-5 weeks later.

I used to think that the RM nameds were stupid rare, but I didn't bother learning them on live. Seem to be a ton of Mithril Plated Girdles here. Bilge was ridiculously rare on live, but got figured out here.

Getting specific Efreeti Sky Drops is a huge pain in the ass if you don't have 3 years to do such.

Kunark - luckily most of the good items aren't horrible camps. The really shitty camps seem to be confined to useless quests - Failed Crypt Raider comes to mind. Pained Soul and Rotting Skeleton also suck, but they are worth the effort.

Velious Wise - aiming for a particular Skyshrine Wyvern/Cube drop was awful. Vaniki is a horrible camp when you take out server resets even if Prathun dropped all the details on spawning her. Revamped Chardok's 3 drop system blows for mobs that aren't easy to farm (Chokidai Vocal Cords easily being the worst offender). Some of the Kael quests require obtaining incredibly rare drops (I'm looking at you, Coldain Books), but you can usually just kill the quest giver.

Luclin was probably the worst offender with tons of ridiculously rare items on long respawn mobs.

Ridiculous Luclin Camps:
Medic's Pouch (zone wide iirc, I got mine the second day of Luclin, no idea if it was removed. Either way, dumb rare)
Various Umbral Drops like Yellow Fang Ear or Dathor Hammer (Rare drops off rare spawns)
Lcea Katta's Mask (~5% drop off long 5 day respawn)
Wand of Casual Blessings (~5% drop off long respawn)
Heart of Fungus (Good luck)

PoP Wise - the fucking Immobilize Shield from Air. I came back to EQ in 2007 and a shaman in the guild since PoP was still trying to get one.

Anyhow, I'd say Preserved Chokidai Vocal Cords and Heart of Fungus might be the two worst camps in the game.
