Video: Why Red Wood Wands Got Nerfed (#1 DPS Character Serverwide)

[Castle2.0]

~25,000 dmg within the span of a few minutes

Just one reason. For raid targets, you'll need to talk to certain guilds that did that.

P.S. Red Wood Wands needed to be nerfed - I woulda nerfed them differently, but it's good for the server they won't be used to trivialize raid targets

They coulda just gone with a casting time to make it useful, but not super bananas for high end content....

They did what I call a "Zero Value" nerf. The item now has Zero (or near-zero) Value. It's equivalent to as retroactively removing all instances of the item from the game and it no longer dropping. The only difference is the optics - you get to keep your useless wands and take up invo space with them.

Disable use on raid targets, and give it a 1-2 second cast time. Another interesting option is making it lore. In either case, it wouldn't be a total loss for someone with wands. But as it stands - total loss.

At least I got video proof of being #1 DPS character serverwide... it was worth it =D

how much were they recharging for?

[Castle2.0]

Cost ~5pp per wand to recharge.

The above kite would have cost ~100pp, not including plat made from loot.

SamDeathwalker, is that you?

This is where I hunted 40-50. During that span I made about 2k in abu kar box sales and I have another 8 boxes spread across lvl 1 alts. This is after recharge recoup.

Don't mention that Octo. This was the super secret info you were gonna sell along with your wands [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

It was a relatively secret spot as I never had issue with sharing the camp with another player. Knowing that spot was the difference in me actually using the wands to lvl up and just selling them out of frustration.

This is classic everquest good job guys!

Sad to see this powerful magic go, it's just like that movie Onward. Oh well, off to the mindless grind and unicorns eating trash we go. [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]
