The AoN that now drops is not instant cast and it has to be equipped.


Wrong and wrong.

This item also drops off Terror, who does not deathtouch and can be soloed.

The event is finished as of today.

I got my mask, a while ago.

They really should have made the pumpkin drops NO-Trade to prevent this. They should have known greed would set in and people would farm the crap out of this.


I was of the same mind set, as this particular item DID take me a while to acquire all the pieces for, and the prices that they were selling for, pretty much locked everyone who couldn't farm them themselves out of the quest. This was unfortunate, but sadly, it was the case.

Then something dawned on me:

I cannot bake.

Now, I understand that one of the pieces is trivial, IIRC, at 42 baking skill. Being an avid fletcher, I know that 42 probably wouldn't take all that long to get to.

But, if SoE had made these things no drop, then people like me, with no experience in baking, would NOT have been able to give the parts to a guildie, to receive the treats.

MY 2cp:

Yes, these probably should have been made No Drop, but with a no fail combine. Seeing that there was a trivial for baking, I'm willing to bet the developers, (because EQ is an interactive game) wanted some interaction between the players who couldn't bake vs. those that could.

Just a thought...

That's not a bad thought..however..baking is SO easy and CHEAP to raise, that it's not as bad as you may thing.

Make Fish Rolls...1 Bat Wing + 1 Fresh Fish..both available in unlimited supply from a vendor in PoK....you'll be 100 in baking in no time.

While a NO FAIL combine would be the ideal way...I still think we could benefitted from having the ingredients and result be NO DROP.

Frak, just as an FYI, I ran right past one of your corpses when I was getting the costume collection quest.

Your goblin body has been screenshotted for posterity. :-)

BTW, thanks for the baking tip - I'll have to remember that one. I'm not really much of a tradeskiller.

Play single player games instead.

I may sound sarcastic, cold and unsympathetic but I assure you, that is not my intent.

You are beating a dead horse. MMOG's will alwyas be like this. It is better for you to stop playing them then to try and change the behavior in them.

The AoN is so expensive for 2 reasons:

1. It has been nurfed and no longer drops. The AoN that is so expensive does not have to be equipped and is an instant cast.


More silly old wives tales. The Amulet of Necropotence still drops from either Cazuc Thule, Terror, Fright or Dread in the Plane of Fear.

AoN is not expensive. BoC is not expensive. All items in Everquest cost less than 1 copper piece. (0, that is)

Believe it or not, all items in EQ are either quest results, player made or drop from NPCs.

I need a Blade of Carnage like ALL the other tanks and they sell for 150K. I am useless until I upgrade because of theplat buyers and ebayers who ruin the game.

Funny indeed and pathetic. Please stand by for a public service announcement:

You can get a Blade of Carnage for 0 platinum. I will let you struggle with figuring out how this is possible.

I think the gist was supposed to be more supposed to be like, "You can hold aggro without a BoC," which is also true.
