Miscellaneous: Issued Water / Fright (Plane of Fear)

[Ennewi]

Several posts from the older websites indicate that Fright granted players a full stack of Issued Water, either upon taking direct (melee) damage from the named golem or upon its death (likely the former based on a few comments). Unimportant overall and likely a classic bug, but it seemed worth a one-time mention for future reference. There are always a few collectors of such oddities, if for no other reason than to link them in ooc, not to mention that one person on raids who complains in guildchat of being low on food and drink. This is the only mention I could find of Issued Water on the forums.

Randomly drop 1 or 2 items from the old Cazic-Thule and old Dracoliche . If you are hit, you will get 20 "Issued Water" for some reason.

My guild killed Fright yesterday and right after killing him I noticed that I had a stack of "Issued Water" in my hand. I didn't pick anything up from the ground and I couldn't have looted it from his body as my group did not get the xp. I was, however, the closest person to Fright when he died. Anyways the "Issued Water" is considered a Drink and is No Drop. Anyone have any idea what it is for? I've been posting on different boards trying to find out, meanwhile the water sits comfortably in my bank.

Yay once again to Scroggy for more DTs than I could count.

Sometimes the best explanation is the simplest. I hadn't even considered that, but it fits in perfectly with what the original developers would have done given their other creative choices. Brian Canary or Ryan Palacio must have added it in for yucks. I just automatically assumed "issued" meant that it had been supplied or distributed by guides who were known to replace items for players with decayed corpses, outfitting them with specific nodrop gear. Instead, in this case, issued was used to mean "flowed out from" because the player had been frightened.

I can probably make this happen, but would like as many details as possible.

Such as, if it began occurring with the revamped Cazic Thule npc, how long did it persist?

In the screenshot below, the player's cursor remains empty (hovering over spellbar) after a few rounds of attack, hits and misses, indicating that it was either a chance to proc in combat or a proc upon death as some accounts suggested. But being hit did not always result in the player having a stack of issued water on their cursor. This is assuming it wasn't at one point removed due to complaints. No other details at this point.

Another player hit multiple times by Fright but this one dies as a result, cursor empty.

Today our guild killed Fright in the Plane of Fear and after the fight I found I had 20 "Issued Water" in my hand. These are No Drop and are considered a Drink. Anyone know anything about it? What it could be used for?

We've seen that too. I have no clue what it is for, but it seems to be a proc of some sort. When he hits you the water shows up on your pointer.
/shrug maybe he feels bad about beating on people? lol

Fright / Dread give issued water...
or whatever the golems that DT.... now here is the thing, as we were killing fright whenever wyen (57 rogue) got hit, a stack of "issued water" would appear on his pointer. While killing dread when dekaf (52ish rogue) got hit, he got stacks of "issued water" appeared on his pointer....

so we got to thinking... golem in fear, broken, hmm terror doesn't dt and has a cold ae, he can't DT, is he broken? well terror is kos, sooo we had wyen walk up and do his sneak trade thing with water, nothing happened, then he tried with the gear, but he f00ked it up and didn't take hide off before giving sproket and someone pulled terror down before we got a chance to do it again correctly....

so anyway i don't know what this means... kill fright first, then dread, get some issued water from the rogues, have them try turning that shit into the golem terror, maybe that will pop the broken golem with the skin? or maybe when that broken golem is up (we didn't see it the night we were there) have the rogue turn in the "issued water" first, then turn in sproket, this could cause him to agro or something i don't know.... cause remember what the gnome said "if you do it wrong he could explode, or worse!" so maybe gotta throw in some of that issued water that the rogues get..

anyway GL hope we figure this out soon ;p

Re: Skin no more needed?
Rogues get issued water from fright / dread when they get hit or pickpocketed (Wyen (57 rogue on Quellious) got issued water from fright (Dekaf (52 rogue on quellious) got some from dread.

Please someone try having the rogue sneak up and give the SPROKET AND ISSUED WATER to the golem... like the gnome said, it has to be done right or he could explode or worse ;p

No flasks on cursor.
