Loot Level Range for TLP

Rare NPCs will drop loot from other NPCs of a similar level within the same expansion.

Has there been any comment or discussion about the level range that mobs pull from? is it same level, 1 level, 3 levels? curious since it affects leveling tracks

There is no official comments so there can be no official mistakes.

it likely is going to depend on expansion, a 3 level range might not be big in classic but in later expansions its a pretty big range.

As someone famous once said..

LEARN.

People that play EverQuest don't want to play a new game. They don't want to learn a new game. Many would argue they lack the means to even do such things.

We need Almar, Rasper, and Bibbybick to get together and get a full dossier on Mischief so that we all don't just drown in our own incompetence.

I think they're intentionally vague. If I was asked to guess at this point? I'd say they grouped the mobs every 5 levels (so 1-5, 6-10, 11-15, etc, etc) until POP. Once pop lands I would expect it to be 1 level ranges, and to keep that going forward.

I'm probably wrong, but as they say, only time will tell.

Pretty much my belief as well. Need a fairly large range in classic otherwise the low level named would have maybe 1-2 other rares on their table whereas content after around DoDH the named might have a max of 5 level spread throughout the entire expansion.

My gut tells me that randomization is only going to be Classic->PoP but I hope I'm wrong.

If they don't officially state mechanics then they can silently hotfix them as problems are discovered.

For sure, Naggy loot dropped off Fippy? Hotfix then say "haha mischief!". Naggy dropped a bunch of TS mats? " haha mischief!", some people got 4 FBSS from a 1 trash mob, "haha mischief!"

I was told by someone on the inside that they were specifically vague, so that our minds would run wild and perhaps point out things that would potentially be an issue before launch. Like a forum Beta Test.

Take it for what its worth they are watching the forums though.

Makes sense, first thing alot of people's minds went to was poSky. Both the nightmare of completing quests if the loot was spread across the entire expac and the fact that some raid mobs could be infinitely spawned and would be if they were dropping cloak of flames or dragon scales.

I would do forever farm of sister/spiroc if it could drop any raid item. If not, no thanks.

Once you get beyond PoP almost everything fits nicely into tiers and I'd expect shared tables to stay inside the tier instead of level based. TSS for example, all rares in Ashengate/Frostcrypt are shared, all rares in Direwind/Valdeholm is another shared set, Icefall/Vergalid for a third set, etc

I just hope simple things are easier to get in the beginning. Like the two rare mobs in QH, Hadden is level 28, Pyzjn is only 13 but both perma camped for the first 3 expansions for the EB earring and GBS. So any named/rare level 28 or 13 can drop those items? Someone is going to have to start a list of what crazy things are dropping from which mobs...

Hadden is not a rare spawn though, just a normal NPC with a long- respawn timer.
Pyzin - a dev posted on forums ~10 years ago, on the spawn mechanisim for Pyzin, AC in Sro, etc.
Pyzin is perma camped now by ranger/druids who know how to spawn it etc.

Why would you want that? As soon as you have a list then all of the botters will be perma-camping the good spots. Anyways, I can't wait to see how fast this server dies from the mass amounts of cheating and afk-farming they won't prevent. Just like how at this moment i'm a little pissed because I went to camp something on Aradune and a 6-boxer is camping the area and if I report him with video i'd probably get suspended before he did.

The fact that there seems to be so much excitement for this server would suggest that is not true.

Good point. I though of that as well, but wasn't sure exactly when it would slot in like that.

Hope you have a few years.
