Kaladim bone chips

[greatdane]

Has anyone tried CB belts yet? I'm holding onto mine until further notice.

The exp was nerfed just like the tumpy tonic were nerfed, somethings are going to be non classic plan and simple, with the increased spawn rate i was in steamfont and had 2 decay skeleton spawns on lockdown and it didnt take me long at all to fill up a bag of bone chips, without these kinda nerfs we would have level 15+ already, good for the DEVs and that is coming from someone who farmed up a full bag before someone told us it was nerfed.

with reduce respawn speed, we still get less kill than on a classic server per individual.

it just happened that some were humping the right respawn point.

there was no need to nerf exp on quests. who cares who reaches 4 the first, we want people to reach 4-5 and get the f out of the noob ground. thats the point

It was a nerf made with minimal effort that affected numerous quests that have nothing to do with mob spawns. I get that your heart is in the right place but there's no excuse for the global change in the face of wanting to be classic.

Edit - I guess the part that really rustled my jimmies is that they had hundreds of players that participated in the beta that helped hunt down bugs and report them, and none of them (including myself) were afforded a chance to assist with picking out the starting quests that should have remained at classic exp value according to dated 2000 posts or older. The change was made last minute behind closed doors globally.

People didn't really know about these quests at retail launch, maybe a few people from beta but that's it. I think temporarily nerfing the xp is reasonable to preserve a classic feel for launch day.

Qeynos: muffin & water quest to guards Nerf to oblivion.
Qyenos: Taxes Quest Nerfed but still ok Exp till 4.
Qeynos: Caster quest 2 rat whiskers, bat fur, fire beetle eye working but at a much reduced rate. still doable if you can find the rat whiskers.

Surefall Nitrates to West karana: not even worth time as xp bar did not move at level 4 and 5.

Toxx Forest: The miners cap quest is giving great XP 6 turn ins 7 yellow bubbles of xp for level 1 wizard now level 2.

There were enough folks standing around Reebo in RV that you couldn't even click him as they furiously gave him back his carrots.

I ran stew back and forth from the Fool's Gold and got level 2 in less than 5 minutes and was first warrior to 2...

Even though we don't like it, it was probably for the best.

Can the staff please confirm if the quests will revert back to normal once the spawn rates are reverted back to normal?

Seriously disappointed in that. Not much point in an 'authentic' experience if that's not what you are going to end up doing.

Op and people like this better ask the staff for a refund then. Oh wait.

Most classic Everquest experience developed and hosted for FREE and you're SEETHING over m-muh bonechips.

I’m not “seething” but thanks for that. I’m assuming this is a temporary nerf because of the increased spawn rate. However, if it’s not a temporary nerf it’s certainly an issue. Necros and SKs make up part of the bone chip market for sure, but a significant part of the market is the turn in quest. Look no further than CB belts for an example of that. People will pay money due to the valuable EXP from the turn in. If this is a permanent nerf, long term it will make it harder for new players to raise cash because it will reduce the demand for an easily acquired item that people used to pay money for to turn in for EXP.

I think your reaction is pretty rude and unnecessary. I’m willing to bet that if they hadn’t nerfed the EXP and someone had come on complaining about the bone chips quest being utilized too much due to the increased spawn rate, you would’ve gone “but it’s a classic quest stop complaining.” Yet when people instead come on to point out something being not classic you criticize them for mentioning it at all.
