Miscellaneous: Myconid Spore King Loot Table is not what it was during Kunark.

It most certainly was not. Robe was a shitty rare drop up until they made it the common drop around Feb 7 2002 as I had mentioned in my opening post. I don't have an exact date because it was ninja'd in but around that time frame people started posting about the nerf in Allak.

Feb 2002 is early Luclin FYI.

For the life of this server the drop should be common.

Wow, I don't remember that, but it has been a long time.

Well, soon this will be a moot point, as the Robe was certainly the common drop post-nerf.

Robe was nerfed long before the droprate was changed to be common and the tunic rare.

I guess I mixed up nerfs. The tunic was set to rare after Staff nerf, which is later... is that right? Or is it a separate change entirely.

From what I remember the Staff nerf was ninja'd in and that happened relatively fast but because the camp is very tough and the drop very rare it probably didn't even drop for a month or two into Kunark. Very very few servers even had one of these.

I do not care to research this but if you are bored one day you can check up on it. [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

The tunic was common at the beginning. It didnt become the rare, until years later.

As far as the robe is concerned. I could only recall a handful of robes on the Lanys server, there was maybe 25+ on the whole server. It was more like a prestige item like, Wow, where you get that outfit. Not like the thousands of robes we see today on p1999.

Anyways the loot table is messed up. From my personal experience camping the king on Lanys. We would usually get 3-4 tunics in a row and I dont believe we had lucky dice.

The tunic should be common drop. The robe should be rare and the Stick uber rare.

Wtb info's. They won't change this based on our recollections.

Staff no longer drops anyways so uber rare or not it's no longer on the drop list, right?

Oh nm nerfed version drops~

Here we go boys:

Allakhazam/Illia's Beastiary circa 2001:

ing CAN be taunted easily by a lvl 58+ melee class, so chain casting isn't so much of a problem unless yer cleric can't heal you fast enough.

Common drop: Fungus covered scale tunic 21ac 2str 2int -10dex -10agi 2.0weight all but pure casters can wear.

Rare drop: Fungus covered robe 14ac 15sta 4wis 10svfire? somethin like 0.4weight or somethin... monk cleric and druid usable.

Ultra rare drop: Fungus covered great staff 18dmg 35 dly 8wis 8int -10cha 5svdisease 5svfire 1.1weight eff: fungal regrowth 2hb Shaman / Druid ONLY.

Click is instant cast regrowth with snare effect. Not sure on snare percentage but it's enough. You can left click off the effect at any time and reclick when you set up camp.

Does NOT stack with spirit of wolf. You can put regen and sow in buff slots and depending which one you want to cancel, buff it first. IE if sow in first slot and regrow in second the staff click will cancel sow and stack with regrowth. This is the only reason the staff rules. getting 52 hps a tick helps extremely for buffing as a shaman.

If you are a shaman and are thinking about trading your staff for a tunic, don't... theres a reason this staff is ultra rare, it rules. You can always trade for a fungi tunic or camp it.

In my opinion staff should be worth twice as much as tunic, but since shamans dont know the uber usage of this, the price remains the same.

Because it takes a group of 55+ and 58 or so + melee. King is not always camped either, and doesnt spawn to often. Though the fungi tunic is his common drop

Sites listed Fungus Tunic as very rare. Players list it as very common. On my server, the tunic sells for around 80k. If it's very common, my 59 enchanter better get in a group and kill that king to twink up my new warrior eh?

This is the common drop...but the King is very rare, and the camp is VERY hard to hold

* IF * the King is pulled you must get on him. Do NOT attempt to mez him. Perhaps a 60 Shaman or Enchanter could stop / slow him, we didn't have the luxury.

We had following party:
57 Enchanter
58/59 Bard
56 Paladin (Our tank)
55 Cleric
56 Mage
55 Monk (Yours truly)

Critical that the 55's con everything. Enchanter needed to know because of spell choice.

The Fungal is great for reducing downtime and combined with group / ind Chloro/Regrowth provides nice regen.

We killed King 4 times: 3 Tunics, 1 Robe.

Thelonius Monk

Only other times I've killed king were passing thru on way to trakanon area, so it's not fair to compare as more than one group doesn't constitute a camp.

You might have to evac ej after killing king if you have many adds messed because they will most likely just get you killed. Worked great for the group I was in above. Darn guy dropped a robe for us, Argh heh.

Dropped a fungus covered scale tunic every other time I've been there when he was killed though.

... Yeahh

Ya Phist, I already posted a lot of stuff like that with wayback links and everything. There's absolutely no way Tunic was anything but common at the start and even mid point of Kunark.
