I loved Kaesora. There was a book drop here that sold for a shit ton and no one knew where to get it for a brief time when Kunark launched.

Made a mint.

Correct me if I am wrong here but I seem to recall the Moss Covered Twig originally being a main hand item and not an off hand one. Which is why it was busted at 3 dmg 10 delay.

His #1 as Kerafrym is stupid though.

I remember the same as I believe the mainhand damage bonus is what made it broken.

When Magister woke The Sleeper, we got so much shit for that. our guild was labelled the villain guild. we didnt give give a fuck, there was a mob that needed killing and if we wanted to complete the expansion it had to happen. i imagine p99 was the same situation. all monks wanted that ventani robe. Flatts is a monk.

Yes I believe it was OP due to the way offhand attacks were triggered based on mainhand. By using it in your mainhand, your offhand swung crazy fast and if you had something that procs (Yak for example), it would go nuts. The nerf to make it offhand only greatly reduced its OP value.

We farmed these then eventually woke the sleeper and got a multiple shroud drop on that last kill. Grats druid.

we had 3 active monks at the time, we got 3 shrouds on that one ventani. so there was no point prolonging it. if we didnt do it somebody else would not long after. if EQ wanted more to have that loot they would have brought him back in the last 19 years. this expansion i suspect thats what they'yre building up to. but even then, whatever loot drops its only as good as the next new thing in the next expansion.

The next expansion had a boss that dropped an item w/ almost identical stats.

yep. its almost always a letdown. the items that have staying power arent because of the stats. its because of the clickie effects. there was nothing special about the Sleeper encounter in that regard. by the time we were killing emperor in luclin and before farming VT. we already were better equpped than anything we had in Velious, we only did Kael and maybe Yelinak because we had started getting server transfers and they were completely naked of any gear. so we had to backfarm Bps and leggings. we didnt have too many server transfers though so it wasnt a biggie.

These are so fucking cool tbh, I was just an ultra ultra casual in EQ and never made it past like level 8 but I wish more games had items like this, even post-nerf

I didn't watch the video, but I do cry a little inside every time I think of all the holgresh beads I destroyed because I was a mage and Eye of Zomm as a clicky was useless. As a young teenager I was embarrassingly naive of "creative use of game mechanics."
