Paineel Problems
Paineel has 1 outstanding and 1 semi-new issue I'd like to address.
1. decaying skeletons. On live, they'd spawn 3 at a time at each spawn point. As soon as all 3 from a set died, they'd instantly spawn over again. It was the best spot in the game to farm bone chips. 2. It's nearly impossible to create a newbie Paineel character right now. It was bad enough when you spawned without a key, or died and were sent behind the elevator, and had to wait 6 minutes or whatever for a guard to respawn to give you a key. Now that they take 29 hours or whatever to respawn, newbies are essentially stuck. It was kind of painful strolling into Paineel today to see newbies wandering all over lost while the guards were down. On live, Paineel guards spawned much more quickly than they are now, which is why they were known as a famous plat spot. I'm not sure why the guards were changed to such non-classic respawn values, but I'm sure while it stands anyone new to the server choosing to roll an evil Erudite isn't going to stick around for very long at all. | ||

I can confirm this as my experience on live at this spot, there were two spawn points on opposite sides of the hill where the instant 3 spawns happened. They would then slowly meander away on their path points, but if you were high level and killed them all quick you never had to move, once the 3rd skeleton of the series was dead all 3 instantly respawned. I used to pay newbies a discounted price on bonechips to join my group and loot all the kills and then sell them to me when inventory was full. Links below collected from the internet indicating that paineel is a good place to farm bones, not all with specific evidence of the above, but clearly not the way it works here with 6 spawns on a several minute timer: http://www.eqclerics.org/forums/show...93&postcount=5 http://www.crys.org/cof/quests/paladin_quests.htm http://www.necrotalk.com/archive/index.php/t-4852.html 5th post form the bottom http://www.necrotalk.com/showpost.ph...45&postcount=4 | |||

I remember coming to Paineel for bone chips all the time and was sad when the decaying skeletons didn't spawn like I remembered. Dug up (necro'd) this thread that mentions it.
Evidence for 3 spawn that instantly repops after last is killed: http://everquest.allakhazam.com/db/z...96726440131861 Quote:
Showing the 3 spawned, then pathed over the hill towards the guards: http://everquest.allakhazam.com/db/z...96703722216282 Quote:

I can attest that the Paineel newbie ground skeletons did spawn like this. You could stand there casting an AE or just have your pet attack using a hotkey /pet attack a_decaying and he'd farm for you.

Bump!
Also found a post indicating noclin's pet should have a chance to spawn from the 3-spawn. http://everquest.allakhazam.com/db/n...id=3563#m11491 Quote:

In case the evidence wasn't convincing in the above posts, I did find plenty of other evidence to back this up. Essentially Paineel was where you went for Bone Chips on live if you were smart. Implementing this 3-spawn insta-repop would create less zone-disruption / farming issues than doing so in Kurns or elsewhere. For what it's worth, I'm willing to bet a bunch of newbie yards had some kind of instant repop thing, I seem to recall Qeynos newbie yard filled with almost 100 people when EQ launched and there was never a shortage of mobs. But anyways, much evidence for this being a great spot for Bone Chips: 2/25/01: http://www.ttlg.com/forums/showthread.php?t=5062&page=4 Quote:

I found this mention of a wizard gathering all mobs and killing them, giving specific mention of 34 mobs: 8/14/2000 http://www.ttlg.com/forums/showthread.php?t=5721&page=2 Quote:
Hopefully this is compelling enough to implement... By comparison yesterday I believe I gathered something like 13 bone chips in 14 minutes (not classic!). Just remember: the more people that visit Paineel, the more they become familiar with Odus. I can see it now on P99... Odus is the new min-max hot-bed: 1) Paineel noob yard - exp and gather chips 2) Bank 8 bags in paineel, Load 8 bags in inventory 3) KaladimQuest to mid-teens 4) Warrens / Kerra Isle <Possible brief stint away, else Stonebrunt> 5) Hey I miss Odus and I'm 50... let's do the HOLE! I know how to find it since I farmed bone chips near there (A man can dream...)
