Oh, easily. I took this camp with no problems whatsoever as a 56 chanter, with an animation instead of a charmed pet... obviously, your mage pet would be far better than mine. The mobs could hardly damage me or the pet.
Iwas in a group with a 52 monk he had his 50+ cleric in ***/sup and I was at the time a 37 pally Now with my wurrmy ,and thanks to Luclin a 230+ DD undead, I ended up soloing him when the monk seemed to dissappear I was at half life and had all three my stuns up and expel undead Instrument of Nife was up (thank God) and only my Buffs (monk did not want to look at both comps to buff me) I proced about 3 times for 237 and ounce for 191, he got 2 maybe three spells off on me which he did while I was trying to run to ***/sup when he roted and or snared me (did not seems like I was moving) so LoH was up and I tweeked and killed him with out LoH he dropped the crown come to find out because as I saw U have slain a Ghoul Sage I see another message (monk name) has looted a Runed Crown... and Low and behold there is the monk who just ran up the staris looted the damn thing went to ***/sup got her cleric healed her self and out of the gracuious of her own heart healed me. Now there was no Role no nothing she took it and took off. I would had been fine with loosing a roll but come on at 37 I think I got lucky on killing this thing. (was going to give this to my Wizzy) I was told this is worth 2kp on Druzzle Ro. that was the first time I had seen the sage and dropped him first time to the lil basterd he is a crazy Nuker and with out the good DD to undead I would have been dead. Just a lil steam I had to blow off. Pallidious Maximous 38(9)Pally lost lvl to a shroom in echo caverns Funki Munkey 33 Monk Niterake Soultaker 22 Necro
Went to camp this guy last night to get a cowl. Camped him alone (51 wiz) for 13 hours..during that time i saw 4 sages, 2 dropped a cord, 1 was KS'ed by a lvl 60 monk and it dropped the cowl, and one after 13 hours that dropped my Cowl. im NOT doing it again! Any lvl 51 caster should be able to take this camp...just beweare that the scribe can charm ya. He got a charm on me and i wiped out a 51 drood, 54 chanter and 36 mage in exe room.
Just my 2cp...but i usually bring trusted friends with me to camps. Easier to talk with good friends than total strangers. Esp. when some peeps are just plain rude. On Xev...just like any other server, we have our fair share of dorks /sighs heavily. I usually go into camps with guildies and invite other peeps LFG. We random for items. Everyone gets a fair shot at it if the group is comprised of guildies and non-guild adventurers. If someone in guild needs it and one of us wins...we usually hand the item over to them. But the point being that we give other non-guildies a chance to roll...just like they would in any other group. The odds are better when you have friends to help you though. Sometimes we left the non-guildies loot the item first...cuz that we way we are assured of the next drops...LOL Just my 2cp
Hello all. I was just wondering and please no need to flame me....how many spawns are in this room? and could a 50 enchanter take this camp? any info or experiences would be most helpfull.

Made myself 30k in about a week getting three tbbs, three cowls, and about a million braided cinch cords which sell like hotcakes. Just a message to any other greedy players out there, its easy money.

So what if you lose the role, hang around and kill again. If you didnt want to chance losing the role to someone who has helped you kill a certain mob, then you should have waited until you were good enough to solo the room on your own. So you have been there 6 hours, sux to be you now don't it? Get over it, it's just a damn game. Not worth getting all pissy over.

Yesterday I was there with my 45 mage and grouped up with a 44 necro, and the Sage popped three times in a row, and he had the cowl all three times. An Urd Wizard PH popped the next two pops after than, and then I had to log.
So I think it relies more on the sage to actually pop in the first place, but the cowl is the rare of his drops and the braided cinch cord is the common drop. So we were extremely lucky, especially since the luck began right after I showed up, hehehe.
The 54 chanter and 41 druid in the other post should be able to do the camp no prob.

Posted:May 09 2001 at 8:41 PM, Rating: Sub-Default, (Expand Post) You guys are all dumbass newbies. For one the ghoul sage is a wizzy. He does not charm. Whoever said that when he as a spear he drops cowl That's a load of ****. I had him spawn last night with spear in hand. What did he drop? It sure as ******* hell wasn't the runed cowl. The ghoul scribe is the enchanter who spawns opposite of the ghoul sage. He can charm using the Beguile spell. There are two spawns in the false wall and THEY ARE ALWAYS CASTERS, not neccesarly urds. Tal's spawn back there as well. You guys need to know what the **** you are talking about before you post ******* ********* Go suck a ****

Posted:Apr 26 2001 at 7:06 PM, Rating: Sub-Default, (Expand Post) I think rolling in groups is crazy and I personally don't see why we use it. Instead something called "The point system" should be used by groups in large camps. For every hour you are in the group you get a point and when the rare drops the one with the most points gets to loot and then has to start his points over....however I know this will never be used by anyone but smart people and sorry to say but there are not that many in EQ.
I agree with the point system on long camps to get item. With the regular drops it would be not necessary. But consider this those that oppose: Say your a melee type and waited 2hrs to get into the frenzy room in lg, ok now your in, hour after hour passes, people come and go but you need this sash finally after 10 hrs of fighting and 2hrs of waiting it drops is it fair to you who have given up so much of your ( hate to say it ) life for this item to let the wizard ( class who cannot use only sell ) loot it? This is why the point system makes sense those that have waited the longest get more of chance to loot everyone rolls everyone has a chance but if you have been there forever trying then you have more chance. And to the guy with the highest toon of 23 i think you will change your mind when you go through this for a robe you need or int item and the pally wins after you have waited for 5hrs and he just joined. you cant just sell off a 3k robe with a run to town fast and you'd have a heartattack if they wanted to do that to the robe you been trying to get lol.
Well I play a Necromancer on the Xev server and if in a group will never roll or loot anything if the tanks can use it, or any other class. Why roll on something only to sell it latter on? Thats just being greedy. Only items I will roll on if in a group are int caster ones.
I had to make a statement on this as I used to camp Frenzie a lot. I know it doesnt belong in this area but because of your post I am putting it here. If I camp the frenzie camp and get to the top of the list I will usually ask the group if they would like to roll on it if it drops. My feelings are that I am an enchanter and dont really need this item. But at the same time I do not charge for buffs, power levels, or anything else really. So I need the cash too. I rarely even loot unless it is a rare item such as this because of weight. SO, I do think that an enchanter, mage, wizzy, etc has the right to keep it in a situation where they are top in a list group for an item, and then give the others a chance to roll for it and they still win it. I always give the melee a chance to get it like that unless they disagree with rolling. Just my 2cp on this discussion. I do think that points system would be a nice idea, but wont work because who is going to hold on to the tally, and will they slip thier friends in over some one else. I know some guilds that simply would take advantage of a system like that for thier own purposes. This is not meant as a flame, just trying to give ya some input on your idea and what others might see.

The point system is rather lame, but I will post two methods that have steered me well all through Diablo, UO, EQ, and many others.
1: Everyone takes turns looting, greedy people wont like this one cause they may get nothing while the next person gets the ultra rare drap that they are there for.
This one works best in my experiances. 2: The group leader or elected person loots all bodies and at the end they sell all use /split #, #, #, # to split the cash, now I know what your going to say what if there is a rare drop that you want. Here is what you do, /shout for a PC and whatever the returned or agreed price is you subtract from that persons share of the cash at the end of the camp, now to adress the other problem, somone leaving early, you can do one of two things if this happens, give them an agreeable item for there efforts or have the looter make a run to town to sell and split the cash. Good luck and happy hunting!

I wish it were implemented more often than the new guy just popping in and being lucky with the loot. Sure he did his job he was suppose to do his job, but then again, any cleric would have done.

Posted:Apr 28 2001 at 11:55 PM, Rating: Sub-Default, (Expand Post) Or hmm.. Maybe you're just a dumbass? The point system is fine, I've used similar systems before, but you make at least 2 idiotic blanket statements in your post. The point system is really great if you have a heavily camped spot and people want to join in and camp for the long haul. But making a blanket statement like 'rolling in groups is crazy' is dumb.

Posted:Sep 11 2001 at 6:37 AM, Rating: Sub-Default, (Expand Post) How about the people who need the loot gets it! I have seen a Mage roll agains a Warrior that had a leather belt on for the FBSS, just because he wanted to "twink" or sell it in EC! The Mage won the roll and the warrior is still down there for all I know. I know that everyone is greedy as hell, but there is situations where the NBG (Need Before Greed) theory steps in. If some "Idiot" warrior were rolling against the mage for a REALLY good robe that the mage needed, I am sure he would understand how it feels to be TOTALLY depressed =(

Posted:Feb 03 2001 at 2:39 AM, Rating: Sub-Default, (Expand Post) Just wanted to say how mad i am at how things work on EQ. It took 6 hours of camp time for this guy to finally spawn... when he did he dropped the Cowl. I had been there 6 frigg'n hours camping him and some darn Enchanter came 30 minutes before his spawn and beat me outta the roll! this is totally unfiar considering the spawn had already been broken and he did nothing to help. This kinda thing makes me disgusted at Verant. On top of that a 6 hour wait on the damn thing is insane i just want to play the game not waste my time on EQ.
its totaly random , in theroy he could spawn 10 times in a row every 18 min for 3 hours and drop a runed cowl every time, odds are astronomical, i camped this room for 10 hours in the last 2 days and saw 1 cowl and 2 cinch cords drop, i wasnt dissapointed...
also, if you had been there for 6 hours & Enc just got there in last half hour - it should've gone to you - no rolling, unless if you did on other group members - plain & simple!
If that were the case, then you shouldn't have let the Chanter join you or told him that the first one was yours. Also, 6 hours isn't bad. I camped it with a friend for 2 weeks before I got my cowl. Took him from 40-46 while doing it too. So don't complain about 6 measly hours

Posted:Nov 05 2000 at 1:35 AM, Rating: Sub-Default, (Expand Post) Little trick for you guys. When he's holding a spear, he has the Cowl. When he isnt, he has the Cord.
Looks like my alter-ego's got this guy covered. Normally camped by the Dead Tower Group, this can be one of the best money making camps in LGuk, short of Lord, King, Assassin, and Frenzy. L,K, and F require you to be 40+ however, so you can score some major cash at the mid 30's here.
