There is a thread like this every week or so. I replied in one about a month ago. Here's the link.

I did the math so if you want to use it as proof that the experience per fang turn in is not classic feel free to use this as a start. You need to figure out how to prove it was less than that in classic.

"I have calculated that each fang turn in is around 19,000-20,000 experience.

See the leveling chart at:
http://wiki.project1999.com/Experien...ement_by_Level

For a 22 Ranger it took exactly 100 fangs to go from 22 to 23 (1,387,000 x 1.4 = 1,941,800 experience needed to level – divided by 100 equates to the 19-20k per fang estimate).

When not many people are in the zone, it takes maybe 2-3 hours to do that. The higher your level the faster you kill so you really don’t slow down leveling unless there is a lot of competition.

For that same level 22 Ranger soloing level 20 mobs in an outdoor zone (75 ZEM), you’d get 30,000 experience per mob solo. You would need to solo (1,941,800 / 30k) approximately 65 mobs to level. This means you would need to kill each one every 2 minutes with no downtime to med/heal to get equitable experience. This is not likely.

So if I can level faster, with no down time and pretty much no chance of dying, why wouldn't I take that option?"

2-3 hours to get 100 fangs? highly doubtful.. MAYBE if your the only one in the zone..

There's a post from 2001 where a Dwarf Paladin said he went from level 6 to 7 on one stack of fangs.

http://everquest.allakhazam.com/db/item.html?item=2878

"this is an excellant quest for newbies in quenos...when you get to 5th lvl go to blackburrow and save the fangs (they stack)..and when your not busy or you go to quenoys to sell loot complete it.good exp i went from lvl 6 to lvl 7 with 1 stack (includes doing the moonstone part)

Daldane
9 pally Dwarf"


Level 6 would take 91,000 experience x 40% penalty = 127,400 experience needed. Divided by 20 fangs, that would mean each fang = 6370 experience which is less than 1/3 of what it currently is (19-20k each).

If you want to bug report this and use it as starter evidence (I'd recommend finding more examples), go for it. If they dropped the reward experience by 2/3, that place would be a ghost town.

One problem with finding more evidence is Zam does not even have the gnoll fang quest for qeynos listed. It only has the Halas one.

[BigHurb]

the quest petered out by like, level 11 or so with diminishing returns.. it gets stuck at a certain point or decays every level block or never

[jaybone]

sounds like a bunch of baby back bitches

This thread makes me want to AoE BB...

I've been on this server for like 3 years and I've never seen any more then 2 people in BB. When did this become a thing? 1-5 newbie area 5-12 CB/gfay 12-24 unrest 24-40 mistmoore 41-51 CoM leveled like 8 chars never had an issue.

For the last couple months at least it has averaged 11-15 people in BB during US nighttime hours and weekend days.

Explains why they can't find any mobs [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]. BB can sustain a a group of 11s and a group of 6s and that is about it.

fangs xp is nuts but boring as hell to farm them after level 14. No toon outside of some higher toon aoe everything will get every single mob. The higher level toons tend to clear in the back by clover room /green room as gnoll density is higher.

it helps if you know what spawns where. You can sit at a spwn point and just wait till mob pops and engage as soon it those. If the higher level toon those not have the timing right you will get some mobs.

Even in live you would hardly find lots of mob up because regular xp groups would pull from all over the zone.
