Classic zone rare list

    I went through the Hunter achievements on Magelo for all the classic EQ zones and made a master list of all "rare" mobs (316 of them). I put this into a spreadsheet sorted by level and converted it into an html table.

    https://www.raspersrealm.com/Everquest/ClassicRares.html

    If you want a specific drop you can search for the mob that normally drops it and see everything in that level range.

    Couple caveats:
    It includes revamps, so the original versions of Paw, Hole, Cazic etc aren't going to be represented.
    It includes new zones, Nedaria, Warrens, Stonebrunt, so you may not be able to reach everything right out the gate.
    I didn't include Plane of Hate.
    There are a lot of unknowns in terms of what is randomized, what isn't, what level range, what was added w/o being "rare"... I don't know anything more than anybody else, this is just what is in Hunter.
    I didn't spend any time making it "pretty", just a pure data dump.

    Man, imagine killing Crookstinger on a fresh caster and getting 'A Golden Locket' instead.

    Bah! I spent hours yesterday making a spreadsheet exactly like this. Lol… I bet a lot of people have done the same.

    is there a way to grab the achievement text from a local file? or did you have to manually type each list out?
  7. Rasper Helpdesk The Original Helpdesk

    I went to magelo's achievement tab.
    Did a copy/paste into a spreadsheet for each zone, then a search/replace to remove the leading "- ".
    After that it was going zone by zone manually entering the mob level.
    Slap in some columns with html tags for <tr> and <td>
    Sort by level, zone, and name.
    Then copy/paste the entire sheet into an html in my IDE, with a little clean up

    Oh nice, I didn't realize magelo had an achievement section. That's way more convenient than searching on allakhazam or in game even
  9. Riou EQResource

    Yes, that is where they all are, its basically everything in the achievement window except rewards aren't linked in the file themselves, it is how we parse it on eqresource (with parse change logs)

    You can find them in your resources/achievements folder in your eq directory

    I see you included things that did not come from hunter achievements. Where are you getting those from?

    You stated that you included zones that are not part of classic, but why would you include them (revamp paw, revamp ct, nedaria, jaggedpine, stonebrunt)?

    Where did you get that things are being added w/o being "rare"? The server announcement literally says "rare" mobs.

    After riou posted that eqresource has achievements too I looked around and for some revamped zones there's actually 2 different achievements depending on what the server has unlocked.

    So there's old and new paw:
    https://achievements.eqresource.com/achievements.php?id=101880
    https://achievements.eqresource.com/achievements.php?id=151880

    old and new hole:
    https://achievements.eqresource.com/achievements.php?id=103980
    https://achievements.eqresource.com/achievements.php?id=153980

    CT:
    https://achievements.eqresource.com/achievements.php?id=104880
    https://achievements.eqresource.com/achievements.php?id=154880

    I just used Magelo's hunter achievement list, if those no longer match the in game hunter I wouldn't know.

    I included them for two main reasons; first I wasn't 100% certain exactly what was released when and second you never know when they might screw something up and have an out of era zone's rare's loot table added into the mix.

    That's weird that they included jaggedpine and nedaria in the atonica exploration achievements during classic/kunark/velious then

    There are so many random rares I've never even heard of or seen. That's the beauty of this server is there will be loots that you don't normally see circulating just as often as the stuff you always see.

    So if Dvinn is 19, the Dirk could theoretically drop off one of the HHP Mucktails?

    Jaggedpine is not unlocked in Classic.

    Cinder Goblin Overseer, Flamebite, Brognot, Flameclaw, Molgo, Scorchfist, Swirlstone, Burnt Overlord, Solusek Goblin Assassin, Shadowhand, Shadowsoul, Soulsek Goblin Commander, Solusek Goblin Lookout, Scorchwing, and Lavaspinner Protector are DoN mobs that don't spawn in Classic.

    Gooey Ooze, Bad Ash, and Montegue the Jackal are PoR mobs that don't spawn in Classic.

    Thank you for doing this.

    No. The mob needs to be flagged "rare creature" to be assigned loot from other rare creatures.
