I'll say it again, since it's the only non-cry, non-hostile thing I can say about this subject. Make fangs stop dropping off of green cons. It won't solve the problem, but it should curb it, especially considering that greens won't add on mid-teens players. Aside from the faction (if you're a lizard or whatever), there would be zero incentive to kill green gnolls that lower level players could be getting normal XP off of.



I'm the wrong person for that job. :P I haven't played live since Velious.
Are you seriously arguing for game mechanics changes outside of what has ultimately been deemed as classic? You are entirely aware that there are at least 5 other options as to where someone of your level can get exp... right? We get it, BB is awesome and it's your favorite zone but this exact thread has been made many times before and nothing ever comes of it. #dealwithit or go somewhere else - either way shit's classic.

Point taken. I think you're the first person to be able to make a valid point about this. It is classic, so you're right.

Welp. Okay. I'll deal with it in my own way. The more I think about it, the more I cringe about the idea of changing something "classic", so again, you're right.

As was said in previous threads, if anyone will just take the time to find/submit evidence showing that gnoll fangs weren't this good for higher level characters on live, the devs could fix them and then we wouldn't have level 18s (or whatever) kicking it in a zone designed for level 7s.

But as long as people are lazy (like me) and don't do the research, this is just going to continue. You can't fault people for wanting good exp (even if it is an exploit of sorts), you can only fault the community for not working together to make P99 as classic as possible (and fixing this outlier quest).

You cant fault people using exploits? (even if they are 'of sorts') When did this become a thing? Wasnt there an exploit about making lots of money.. that people got b& for? because.. exploiting game mechanics (of sorts) is wrong?

He's right though, why don't these people just learn to group? I understand its difficult for most neckbeards to socialize, but damn..

this is an excellant quest for newbies in quenos...when you get to 5th lvl go to blackburrow and save the fangs (they stack)..and when your not busy or you go to quenoys to sell loot complete it.good exp i went from lvl 6 to lvl 7 with 1 stack (includes doing the moonstone part)

Daldane
9 pally Dwarf

It took this guy an entire stack to go from level 6 to level 7. I also found this

I handed in about 40 fangs at lvl 15, and gained almost 2.5 bubs of exp, this quest is very good exp for lower lvls. Plus the faction you get from the fangs and moonstones is great, as by the time the corrupt guards would want to kill me, I will have already left for newer zones for bigger foes.

Clearly the Gnoll fangs are giving too much experience.

Training other players out of BB using the enemies you're complaining are being poached......

Honestly, I can see that you are upset, but I'm not sure what you expected when you came here to rant (which there is a specific forum for) about a subject that a simple search would show has been beaten to death. Help prove that it should be a different way if you are that upset by it. That is the only way things will change. I hate to see people get so flustered about this but just complaining on the forums isn't an effective means of change.

Part of the problem is low lvl dungeons don't have well defined camps. If someone in seb came and pulled a bug from ng camp in seb when there is group camping it that is a rules violation. If I have a group on bridge in bb which mobs belong to us?
