You are referencing the single zone in the game where Elder Beads are useful, and honestly they are less useful now due to how finicky FD is (IE it takes a team to pull HoT quickly). To compare Elder Beads and a fungi in terms of power is nonsense also, I would take a fungi over Elder Beads 100 out of 100 times

Then it seems to me that the issue is that Beads are still valued higher than Fungi when Fungi, in both your opinion and mine is vastly more powerful. The reason for this would appear to be public belief.

You still can pull a pocket of mobs to your location in perfect safety, and have a team member tag stragglers. Still trivializes the pulling. Same with bio orb, trivializes splitting. Face pulling used to be dangerous, splitting takes learning with the new system.

And I've seen monks using eye everywhere to pull, not just HoT. It's just sad really that pulling is left up to a few trinkets that make it super easy.

EQ wasn't meant to be that way, supposed to learn from your mistakes and master your class abilities through trial and error and guidance from other members.

Obviously we have to live with what transpired during classic, but its painfully obvious that beads were nerfed so it didn't become a widespread problem. It's a legacy item that in my opinion is ruining the server of a more classic experience.

I'm able to carry both a fungi and beads bbecause I am very powerful.

Can a lower lvl than the caster still kill the eye type spells for XP?

In general, nerfed shit will always go up. Look at Ornate Velium Pendant, I have one and it's just not very useful. +100 faction isn't much at all, but they are still 15k and recently people have been trying to raise it to 20k. I don't know why I even keep mine, it has never helped me to complete a quest or use a vendor I wouldn't have been able to do without it. I think it bumped me to Dubious and let me roam around part of Kael on a toon that had never killed any giants, but that's all I can think of.'



I have 8 of them OVPs still cuz price headed to 50k each
OVP takes all your alts through Sirens as long as you dont kill anything in there
Did i mention ToV, DN, Western Wastes are end station on p1999? [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]
OVP helps all threaten conning chars finish quests and sell/bank in towns. Example: i can do warrior epic on Ogre alt in freeport very smoothly. I can bank and sell there with him too [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.] helped me loads through all warrior epic questing and leveling .
Generally it can help finish quests if you miss that extra little bit faction
Wizard epic has great use of OVP as well ive heard due to faction effect. Dont know details though

Yeah I forgot to mention SG. It's still only useful for that for a few classes. Bard/Necro/Cleric/Paladin/Enchanter/Druid/Wizard can get through SG without it and probably more classes like War/Monk/SK could get through too. Not to mention any class can get Succord, it's not like it's the only way to get through.

It only bumps you from Threatening to Dubious if you are right on the edge of the faction. I have a toon that started out threatening with WFP guards, and it doesn't bump him to Dubious. Same toon started out threatening with Skyshrine/COV, and it didn't bump him to Dubious even after killing a few giants. The Threatening range is ~350 points, and Pendant is only +100.

I'm not surprised you are giving it a hard sell, but I stand by that it's just not that useful. I never see them cause they probably just rot, but people could get a nerfed Pendant if they were only using it for 1 quest.
