XP/faction items should be made no drop

securus

Dalayan Beginner
I think that items like the bandit heads, plague gnoll fangs, ankes, froglok belts, ect should all be made no drop. The reason for this is that you have high levels farming these camps for these items to power level alts and it restricts the people at those levels actually trying to faction or level off the kills.
 
I was pretty sure that bandit heads were no drop at one point, did this change recently on purpose, or maybe by accident?
 
Bandit heads are no drop , and i agree entirely.

Ive had plenty of camps/kills taken (I mean KILLING a mob I was attacking , not killing stuff in the "area") for the purpose of A) Money by selling the ingredients and B) My lowbie needs this item to level.


Its a load of crap.

I really dont see any negatives on the few moments ive thought about this.

I would also like to say ; You should not be able to "buy" levels

report them, as that is clearly against server rules.

It's not fair to penalize every person who can farm such drops with a higher level character to pass on to an alt for the actions of a few jerks.
 
Can you guys compile a comprehensive list of the problem items here? I'll tag them no drop if you do.
 
The three drops from Shrouded (Spectral canines, Rings of High Standing, Ghoul Lurker Hearts), and all of the peices for the NBL tower guard quests (Lion cub paw, Spider Tarsus, and 1 or 2 more that escape me maybe something about an elephant?) and then the quest requests for the NPC outside of Meilich.

Those all jump to mind for me.

These drops are turning into too much of a powerlevelling industry anyway.
 
Mielech->
Froglok cleric ankhs , soldier belts
Froglok summoner globes , The belts/ankhs being the main problem , the globes do not have as common of a drop or a frequent spawn time , but they are never the less sold.
The temple crests I have not seen a problem with.

sewers ->
Ratmen hoods , I see these being farmed by lvl 30+ all the time , effectively ruining leveling for lowbies in the sewers,
Rat tails and beetle legs = nobody bothers ,
Another faction item from the sewer being the ratmen tails , they dont drop often but Ive seen people buying/selling.

SBAD / PAW->
Warder paws oh lord, Easy exp for almost no challenge , and easy to get.

Badlands->
Lion skins , Tarsus and Lion cub paws , I dont see these for sale or really farmed , infact I find them all the time on vendors, I dont see a problem with these due to the amount of spawns , its not effective to "Farm" without tracking.

And the biggest pain in the arse:
Shrouded Isle:
Wolf/canine fangs : No problem , people dont bother.
RINGS OF HIGH STANDING : FOR sale 24/7 and farmed constantly.
Lurker hearts : Ive seen them for sale but most people fear the basement like the antichrist itself is down there , On this I dont even think the lurker hearts are worth the challenge of getting them , but thats another complaint for another time.

Im trying to think of some other ones but at the moment I am drawing blanks.
 
I think alot of people wont like this change , but I am glad it has been done.

No more skimping levels.
:eek:
 
Aww, and here I had hoped to get a newbie wizard to level 40 without killing a mob... because that'd be great for his skills!

Don't forget cecuvian wings from Warpstone... 65kxp for sale from 10 minutes of killing is a bit too easy. But damn, did those come in handy when I was trying to get Galerian geared out! Nothing like getting a couple stacks in an hour and selling them for 15-20p per wing.
