If you ever need to fish(or craft with fishing skill), then make sure to get The Bone Rod: https://everquest.allakhazam.com/db/quest.html?quest=9096 It's the closets thing to a fishing trophy there is. For frostfell you can get some good fishing bait to go with it: https://everquest.allakhazam.com/db/item.html?item=55236
Mine is slightly different that I do each year for the alts I have made during the year, for the first round releases Short cut version of Pub Crawl for Drunkard's Stein. Dead Dragons Necromantic Dragon Bone. Fish Eyes in the Dark The Bone Rod - unbreakable fishing rod Magically Delicious - Jimothy Junior - A familiar that reduces food and drink consumption by 50% War Games for the Bloodmetal Inlaid Gnollish Totem - and one of those augs 250 plus each but are lore Evil Eye Operative for some more good augs. Short cut version of Liquid Courage for the Golden Helm of Rallos Zek trophy. Tsaph's Day Off Zueria Slide: Skyfire cause its so easy Might do the Pirates of Timorous Deep for pearl. Unified Phoenix Feather of course I have tried for the last 3 years to get the Lost Wayfarer's Tent. But I just don't have the umph I guess. And of course there are others that come out in the second wave of quests.
Bone rod is a great one. I forgot about that. Want that on a few alts. I corrected the black pearl. I'll update post 1 until it locks which is 30m or so.
Does the Jimothy junior buff: https://lucy.allakhazam.com/spell.html?id=50677&source=Live stacks with illusion benefit greater jann: https://lucy.allakhazam.com/spell.html?id=11249 ? and does it stack with the CoV familiar(ulthork something?) and the wizard familiar?
https://everquest.allakhazam.com/db/quest.html?quest=4837 For a mage getting the Cloth Cap is valuable. More pets, more DPS. I have this for both my mages.
https://everquest.allakhazam.com/db/quest.html?quest=10334 Should add the augs you can get from the 22nd mission.
14th - Polymorph Wand: Silver Gnomework & Metamorph Totem: Poisoned Rat - Big Gnomes, Big Problems 19th - Deep Caverns Collector's Case (44 slot Collectibles only container) - Pieces is Pieces
Was actually camping human reductionizer in mecha guardian when someone told me to just do this instead. But it doesnt seem to be live at the moment?
Jimothy Junior is a half second cast time for your familiar which is immensely useful during combat rez situations. For the time being, the Copper Flecked Geode of Adroitness and Brilliance augs from last year's anniversary (22nd?) are worth using, usually both on the same character.
Thanks for mentioning this, I had no idea! Hadn't bothered before because I wasn't excited about food consumption rate.
I think one of the takeaways to notice is that no one is mentioning this year's group content at all. The familiar being a copy of an old expansion's was disappointing to say the least. Who was this item actually intended for? The gear in the chest is obviously an upgrade over some of the items but it will NEVER be on a post like this in the future. It will be outdated and obsolete next year. The items that are making this list are unique and have something distinct about them or at least have a significant lifecycle based on stats (black pearl, copper augs, etc). No one will bother with this content other than to check the boxes. As Sancus mentions in another post, its about the rewards not the quests themselves.
For new alts (or players), the 6th anniversary scavenger hunt for the elixir of scholarship is a good ROI on time invested vs. reward.
