This quest may or may not be obsolete following the Plane of Mischief revamp in October 2003. If you have information about this quest's status, let us know.

There are random Mobs in the zone that drop library cards. Give one to Posie the Librarian and she will give you a 4-slot container called the Book of Mischief. Also dropping randomly are four pages, top left and right and bottom left and right. Combine these four pages in the book and you will get a Words of Wealth, which unfortunately can't be equipped.

Now talk to Bob the painter and give him your words of wealth and you will get an empty pot of gold (2 slot container). You will need to create an item using the deck of spontaneous generation. Only 2-throne combination items work (e.g., Green Wristguard, Vambraces of Distraction, Crown of Distraction), except for Mask of Melodies (1-throne), which also works. Combine it in the pot of gold with a Words of Wealth. This will give you a Funny Money.

Give 2 funny moneys to Peachy D'Vicci and she gives you a colored Gift Box. The box has 5 charges. Occasionally you will receive a Frostmaidens Idol instead of a gift box.

If you click on the box, you will summon a doll. The type of doll depends upon the color of the box. The doll has 5 charges of Hug, which is a regen spell. As far as I know, the color of the box you will get is completely random. Each doll is named after a specific class; thus there is one colored box per class. When this Doll is combined in the pot of gold with the main Armor of Distraction types obtained through the Deck of Spontaneous Generation quest, you get the class-specific doll quest armor. Thus far, the gift boxes found produce dolls only for the pure int/wis casters and monks.

I gather from the Quest description that there is no surefire way to know what you are going to end up with, and that it is very much Random. That being the case, I looked at several of the items, and noticed that Some are No Drop, and Some are Not..
Kinda seems wrong that certain pieces would be tradeable while others are not.
Is this infact the Case, or are all pieces No Drop?

Once upon a time, the armor was droppable. Then along came a patch (in April 2001) which made all the items dropping in PoM NO DROP.

#REDACTED, Posted: Jul 18 2001 at 9:26 AM, Rating: Sub-Default, (Expand Post) Well, since the cleric BP is 60AC, is the "Wacky Warrior"(who knows, it is PoM) BP gonna be like 90AC, 50 STR/STA/AGI/DEX/SV all? And a clickable effect of 80% haste? Who knows, but if it is like that you can bet that I will start a warrior the very next day to make an attempt at getting that crazy crazy stuff. Just my 2cp and delusional comments, feel free to ignore my post =)

Funny Money

Ok, when i give the funny money to Peachy, will i automatically get the box for my class? Thanks to anyone who is of help.
RE: Funny Money
# Jul 17 2001 at 9:49 PM Rating: Decent
Nope. It seems to be completely random, and to date, no one has gotten a non-cleric plate class box (warrior, bard, SK or Pally)

Just a little help on this quest for me plz...

***Now talk to Bob the painter and give him your words of wealth and you will get a pot of gold (2 slot container).***

Now I understand this part...

***You will need to create an item using the deck of spontaneous generation.***

I understand this part also....

***Only 2 card items work (i.e. Green Writguard, Vambraces of Distraction, Mask of Melodies, Crown of Distraction).***

That was 4, but ok...

Ok, here is where i start to get a little lost. 2 card items...which are created threw the Spontaneous Generation Quest? So we need 2 items from that quest...like a robe and boots?

***Combine it in the pot of gold with a Words of Wealth. This will give you a funny money. ***

Ok, Combine IT? What is IT? <-- First we need 2 card items (quest items) AND words of Wealth. If im correct, thats 3 items total we need to have. Now you take 2 items from the Spon. Gen. quest and combine in the Deck? If so this give you what?

When i get IT (whatever that is) i take IT and Words of Wealth and combine for a (thats 1) funny money.

Wow thats a lot of questing.

1. quest for the deck
A. quest for the 4 pages
B. Combine in deck for words of wealth

Do that 4 times...for 4 words

2. quest for pot of gold
A. give 1 words of wealth for pot

3. quest for Armor of Distraction
A. Collect 4 cards, combo selective
B. Combine cards for item

Do this at least 2 times....

4. Quest for the Last armor piece.
A. Combine the 2 Armor of Distraction pieces into the Deck of Spontaneous Generation to get something...and a words of wraith for 1 funny money.

Now you need to do that ALL again! because you need 2 funny money!

Now you need to get the preferred piece of armor you want from the Deck of Spon. Gen. again. Like the robe. Thats another quest.

Now you need to give your 2 funny money away with another piece of armor to get the final product!

WOW....

Yeah, those items are created using 2 of the little cards that drop around the zone. Please read as "2-card items".

For want of a hyphen...

FYI.....the "2 card item" might mean an item created using 2 cards, not 2 items created using cards....food for thought?

I haven't been to PoM yet, but based on this paragraph:

"Now talk to Bob the painter and give him your words of wealth and you will get a pot of gold (2 slot container). You will need to create an item using the deck of spontaneous generation. Only 2 card items work (i.e. Green Writguard, Vambraces of Distraction, Mask of Melodies, Crown of Distraction). Combine it in the pot of gold with a Words of Wealth. This will give you a funny money."

I would suggest, based on the structure of the paragraph, that the item you make with the deck of spontaneous generation is the "it" in that sentence. I'm pretty sure what they're saying is: 'You need to make an item using the deck of spontaneous generation. In making this item, only 2 card items will work ... Once you have made the item from the deck of spontaneous generation, combine the item you just made from the deck of spontaneous generation in the pot of gold with a Words of Wealth....'

And yes, it's a helluva lot of questing hehe. Hope that helped.

According to the Message Board traffic, Necro, yes, the others, no.

Sorry, but you are the newb. The entrance to PoM is in Temple of Vesheen. If you are not kos to the Dragons, they are on Claws of Vesheen Faction, you can actually just walk in. The real problem is getting thru SG and WW, unless ya know the SG camp trick :) Why the hell would you think a Velious Plane is in a Kunark Dungeon? NEWB!!!!
RE: newbs

Ahem, on that note, NO ONE can just walk on in. There are non-Claws of Veeshan dragons who will shred people.

Some people have gained enough faction to walk past the GoV dragons, However there not saying how.
most people presume they used the faction roll over bug, that is now removed.

Hey! That's easy!

People were upset because the Deck of Spontaneous Generation is so undocumented, they generated armor and stuff only usuable by ONE class, and NO DROP.

This quest allows you to RECYCLE that useless NO DROP planar armor into something you just MIGHT have a use for. It takes some of the bite out of experimenting with the Deck.

Funny quest though.

DOLLS
# Jun 12 2001 at 7:42 PM Rating: Good
Maybe, just maybe these are just dolls. My favorite item I owned when playing Gemstone for 6 years, was a stuffed spider doll I had. Thats what's missing in eq. Worthless stuff that is only meaningful for it's fun value. I think all PoM items should be huge and gaudy, like milly the monk masher. a HUGE doll of a monk that's like 40/40. and weighs 150 pounds.

or the feet of blinky. great haste/regen/whatever boots that make you WANT to wear the giant red floppy clown shoes... oh man I should be in charge of this plane. oh the fun...

ok one more..

Man i gotta go on a PoM raid. Should you be higher than you need to be for the old planes for this place, or is it about the same? (Level-wise i mean... i know it's nowhere near like anything anywhere else in the game otherwise).
RE: mischief
# Jun 13 2001 at 8:59 AM Rating: Good
You need to be level 60, or close to it, and in a large "uber" guild or you'll never see PoM.
RE: mischief
# Aug 27 2001 at 4:12 PM Rating: Decent
Not really. Requiem, on the Tribunal server, has a few people camped there.... you can get to the PoM in an low-end uber guild with average levels of 55 or so. Just have to give a lot of effort.
#REDACTED, Posted: Jun 13 2001 at 12:32 PM, Rating: Sub-Default, (Expand Post) Damn.
Actually it kinda makes sense
# Jun 12 2001 at 5:53 PM Rating: Good
All you have to do is think of the name...Plane of Mischief. This place is supposed to be quacky and fun!! I bet they have LOTS of fun adding new things here. Especially after setting up a difficult and detail quest in the other area's. To me this seems like a great place for them to just have FUN with what they do and relax.

heh, allow me to explain how this quest is NOT FUN. You need to get 4 funny moneys. Each requires an item from the deck of spontaneous generation, which requires 4 sorta rare cards from mobs in the zone. Also you have to collect 4 words of wealth, which require library card + 4 more drops. All in all you need to collect 4 x (4 + 5) = 36 mob drops to do this quest. Farming is fun!!!!! And you get 25 total charges of regen. wow. I can only hope these boxes have some other use heh.

14 Dolls?
# Jun 12 2001 at 5:12 PM Rating: Default
Gee,
14 Dolls, each with a class-specific name like Wily Warlock Doll, etc... Seems like perhaps a class specific reward would come from a continuation of this line. The question is do you need to use all 5 dolls generated by the box, give the box to someone else with all chanrges intact, or collect a series of boxes?
Interesting quest, but extremely time consuming in a zone not many will see. Strange how they will obviously spend an extreme amount of time putting such a complicated quest into an area that probably not 10% of EQ players will ever visit, while so many broken quests exist in the rest of the world =)
#Anonymous, Posted: Jun 12 2001 at 7:56 PM, Rating: Sub-Default, (Expand Post) I think you have overestimated there, It is more like 1% of Eq players, if not less.
RE: 14 Dolls?
# Jun 13 2001 at 12:39 PM Rating: Default
Keep in mind tho, that's still a good bit of people. For example, 1% of 1 million is still 100,000.
RE: 14 Dolls?
# Jun 13 2001 at 1:00 PM Rating: Default
1% of 1 mil is 10,000 not 100,000. 100,000 is 10% of 1 mil =)
RE: 14 Dolls?
# Jun 26 2001 at 2:23 PM Rating: Default
And as far as I am aware, there are only about 300,000 people that play EQ in total. Since there are about 30 (not sure on this) servers, that means per server, only about 100 peeps will get there, by your guestimation..

Taking this further, if there are about 10,000 peeps per server, with an average of 2,500 peeps at peak times, then at peak times there are assumedly a max of 25 peeps in this plane at any one given time. FURTHER...there are, 5(?) planes so that means only 5 people at any time in the zone.

If this math holds up (which i doubt given the assumption of 1%), then why even have the zone at all? Just my thoughts :)

#Anonymous, Posted: Jul 02 2001 at 8:45 PM, Rating: Sub-Default, (Expand Post) We're talking %1 of people who play. If you want to slice that up by server as you have, it amounts to 100 people per server. That sounds about right, imo. (I imagine the same number of people per server have seen the revamped Cazic) Maybe slightly higher, and will rise as people keep dinging 60.
#Anonymous, Posted: Jul 17 2001 at 10:37 PM, Rating: Sub-Default, (Expand Post) I saw the revamped Cazic tonight, killed the ******* too, it was great. TR/EoD/OoO on Cazic Thule server ;). But TR/EoD did 99% of the work.
