Is this "Classic"? I really don't know, just curious.

Having more than 0.01% of the server equipped with beads? No, it's wildly unclassic.

I didn't even know Beads were a thing until P99. Same with lots of stuff, actually.

Y'know what else isn't classic? Links in chat channels. Bring back REAL EC auctions for Green 2.0.

I knew what beads "were", as did a lot of people, but I don't think that a lot of people fully appreciated what you could do with the eye.

Like, IIRC in classic it was just viewed as a kind of cool gimmick that could be useful in some situations for exploring. I don't think it was viewed as such a hugely useful pulling tool, especially not in terms of how hugely useful it is for things like breaking into HoT etc., until later on.

Minor uses but in HS beads let you drain harmtouchies. Also lets you go through locked doors I'd imagine. For a soloing melee it opens a good zone that would otherwise be annoying.

Unless they change Eye of Zomm aggro mechanic, not having beads just means you carry a ton of probes. It works the same, just another tedious, annoying thing to recharge.

yah but sometimes it takes like 10-15+ eyeballs to split high level stuff - thats 2-3 fully charged probes. not to mention things like NToV where the monks cast their eyeballs dozens and dozens of times per raid.

Yeah it is mostly a bag space thing because it would take like 30 000 eyeballs to get your money worth if you paid 275k for beads, which means burning through 6000 stalking probes.

If you also use eye to trigger epic and OT hammer I can see someone burning through that on a main.

What’s the deal if someone is permanently camping Hadden? I’ve been trying for weeks to camp as need eb item and the same Druid Kerasha is there always, I’ve checked a lot and they appear to perma camp it for plat. But they must either 2box or it’s a group of people who take shifts as they’re there 24/7 as far as I can tell.

I’m getting desperate and am getting to the point where I’m thinking of just killing him when he pops.

Do I have any options? Or will the GM side with them despite it going against the spirit of EQ?

Hadden is a 6 hour respawn I think, so statistically there is a good chance someone is camping him while you are trying to do the same. There isn't much to be done, unless you catch them breaking the rules somehow.

Fishbone earring is like 2k max. It'll be faster just to farm the plat and buy it. Hadden camp is boring anyway, I've done it before.

Don't steal the pop. You'll be the one who gets punished. 2k is not worth getting punished.

spend an hour or two at NG on your enchanter alt and buy it
