I am using the newest PEQ from SVN, what is the status of the epics ?

I am on vacation next week and would like to my magician epic then, but if it is broken I do not want to waste my time.

You can see the status of PEQ quests here, with a page specifically devoted to the status of the epics here.

The Orb of Mastery quest is listed as working.

Oh, nice information. Thanks !

Hey Prov... I was digging through the NPC_Types table. and checking our spawn info...

You might want to double check that Quillmane has a spawn. When I checked on my DB Quillmane was in the DB but was not in the spawn table.

He is not supposed to be there. He is spawned from killing garbage mobs in the zone. He is really more of an event than a spawn group. Look in your quest folder for South Karana for a file called #a lioness.pl

Code:

#Quillmane spawn^M^M

#npc - a_lioness - randomly spawns 1 of 3 Quilmane locs around the zone)^M^M

#zone - SouthKarana^M^M

#Angelox^M^M

^M^M

sub EVENT_DEATH{^M^M

 my $random_result = int(rand(100));^M^M

 my $a=14139; #npc - Quillmane^M^M

 if(($random_result<5) && ($quill==2)){^M^M

   #quest::say("Spawning Quillmane1");^M^M

   quest::spawn2($a,101,0,3210,-6821.6,38.3,193.3);^M^M

   quest::delglobal("quill");^M^M

   quest::setglobal("quill",3,3,"F");^M^M

   $quill=undef;^M^M

  }elsif(($random_result>=5) && ($random_result<10)&& ($quill==2)){^M^M

     #quest::say("Spawning Quillmane2");^M^M

     quest::spawn2($a,102,0,-2761.8,-6076,0.7,4.0);^M^M

     quest::delglobal("quill");^M^M

     quest::setglobal("quill",3,3,"F");^M^M

     $quill=undef;^M^M

  }elsif(($random_result>=10) && ($random_result<15)&& ($quill==2)){^M^M

     #quest::say("Spawning Quillmane3");^M^M

     quest::spawn2($a,103,0,-2333.8,1296.5,38.7,247.3);^M^M

     quest::delglobal("quill");^M^M

     quest::setglobal("quill",3,3,"F");^M^M

     $quill=undef;^M^M

  }else{^M^M

    #quest::say("No spawn");^M^M

  };^M^M

};

wow that's crazy
I think I'd rather have him on the spawn table

Well then you could camp him. The whole point was to make people work to kill him.

Well, I know 100% for sure that Quillmane can spawn on server up (right after reset) on Live, or at least could back when I used to camp him. That means that he doesn't only spawn from killing other NPCs. I also know that there is a chance that upon killing Quillmane, that he can spawn at one of the other 2 spots and start roaming those areas immediately after the last one died. So, Quillmane himself has a chance to pop himself from EVENT_DEATH for sure. I have seen double pops multiple times, and maybe even a triple once or twice.

I only saw him pop once on live, I camped the zone for 6 hours. He finally popped. I had cleared the entire zone of mobs twice an hour. People have reported camping 10-12 hours and never seeing him. I would venture under a 5% spawn rate.

personally that is something I want to avoid happening, I know for my Cleric 1.0 I had a 70Necro and a 70 Druid help me clear Skyfire for 4 hours, and trying to catch Zordak Ragefire up took weeks.
I want to make this stuff a challenge... not a time sink

I guess it can be a fine line with people. What always drew me to EQ was the challenge and sometimes I guess the time sink. Wow just sucked for me, the game took no skill. EQ was a huge learning curve.
