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.

I mean why not just petition them? If they appear to be camping 24/7 a GM will be able to determine if they're AFK or botting or something.

Tough to know from OP's post. It could be that this person is setting the 6 hour respawn timer and logging in a bit in advance and isn't there the entire time. Maybe OP should try logging in with like 5 hours to go (if he hasn't tried already) and see if the camp is open.

No one's there right now, btw.

My evil toons hunt guards. Elfs,woodelves and dwarfs. When bags are full, I gate, sell and come back. Takes 3 to 5 mins. Do I give up the camp if someone comes in while I am selling? Most of the time I am back with no repops.

The official rules are that you can only claim ONE guard. Not one group of guards. You can't claim all of the guards in ButcherBlock all at once as your camp.

What you can do is to clear the guards at one of the huts. Then your toon pretty much has to sit there and engage the moment that the guard repops. If you leave the spot for any reason, the official rule is that yes, you do give up the camp.

With that said, it's pretty unlikely that anyone will challenge you unless there's a repop. If you want to keep the camp, it's pretty much on you to figure out how to sell without your toon needing to physically leave the spot. If it were me, while hunting guards, I'd ask a low-level player to sell for me. There are always newbies around where guards are. If you've got 50 plat worth of loot, I can guarantee that someone will be willing to go sell it, and give you 40 plat from the proceeds.

If you come back and there's someone standing there clearly ready to engage when the guard repops (i.e. they've already summoned their pet and are sitting there medding), they'd probably win an argument if you tried to get the GM involved. You should probably work out a solution with them rather than getting the GM involved. For example, if there's two guards at that hut/tower, you each decide to kill one of them. Or if there are other guard spawns in the zone (BB has a bunch, if you want to kill dwarves), then you go to one of the other ones.

If it isn't a /list camp and your mob is down I guess you can just do whatever between pops.

You can always manage to be there on pop and give a couple minutes to the guy and if he doesn't make a move you take it.
