Not No Drop Anymore?

Lucy Spell view shows this spell no longer being no drop. Also in a recent patch msg it said the spell 'dread deeds' is now tradeable. There is no listing for such spell so I am thinking this was a typo and it was supposed to say 'dreary deeds'. Can anyone confirm this?

Confirmed it myself today. The most recent patch must have made the researchable version of the spell tradeable. Bought it for 8k on Bristlebane.

Can confirm this recipe from EQTC forums:

Runic Parchment
Quill of the Coercer
Luclin's Ink Additive
Debilitating Thickener
Ink of Bertoxxulous
Ink of the Listless

Spell is No Trade

Hopefully they fix this soon. Made this with my mage, who is my researher and my chanter is about to beat her up coz she won't give it to her. Maybe if we all /bug it.

mez

I liked the mez better. It's uses were limited though. Still better then this. If they wanted to make the mez more appealing they could have increased the level so it's useful in PoN Hedge event.

Dreary Deeds vs Forlorn Deeds.
# Nov 16 2005 at 7:58 PM Rating: Default
Sure, they give us a spell that is a faster cast, but the recast time is longer. 3 times longer. The effect last about 1/2. And I get the same slow, and for more mana. Upgrade? The missing link? I think not. I'll stick with my Forlorn Deeds. SOE should really look at what they're doing sometimes. Give us a BETTER spell, not something slightly worse.
What spell are we talking about
# Nov 16 2005 at 4:58 PM Rating: Decent
The post on this page dont seem to match the spell Dreary Deeds which is a slow.

Everyone is talking about a Mezz...Are these post out of place.

Anyhow, anyone know where Dreary Deeds drops?Used to be call Apathy of Nihil I think.

Way to tell them. I mean what, it's been like ZERO days since the spell was changed, and they haven't updated it yet. What a bunch of slackers.

They managed to pull out ALL info about the old spell Apathy of the Nihill prior to my post, drop info and all, so yes, i got frustrated from reading old posts wich lead me nowhere..hehe, im sorry for the caps anyways...
RE: ADMIN WAKE UP
# Nov 18 2005 at 10:55 PM Rating: Decent
Yeah, how could they possibly overlook that when they were adding all that data, cause they actually update the tens of thousands of spells by hand every patch, checking every one for a change, instead of just parsing the spells_.txt file that's sent to your client and has all the information about all the spells in it Smiley: rolleyes

Just because it was changed from a mez to a slow, doesn't mean it's a different spell. It still has the same ID, so to EQ and to every spell database I know of, it's still the same spell.

Give the admins a break, geez.

Not sure we needed one, and it's hard to get excited about another one, but oh, well. It's better than the crap they stuck us with before they gave us a slow spell.

SOE screws Enchanters again
# Feb 26 2005 at 8:53 AM Rating: Default
How long are the people that pay SOE (That's right boys and girls they work for you) going to stand for the ******** SOW is putting to the enchanter class.
Lest we forget:

Try soloing....
Solo your epic....
Get epic and ask WTF...group haste?!?!?
Solo with pet.....
Try logging on and not crashing for KEI requests... BTW - The only spell SOE hasn't given away or to another class.

I for one am tired of being a melee lackey (just haste us and shut up).

To be fair....we are the only one's for the time being who can enchant...guess I should count my blessings.

note to SOE: EQII failed, expansions are leaving others behind, when was the last time anyone went on an LDON...let alone a plains raid....

You need to listen to your customers instead of chasing the almighty dollar (or YEN) before there are no more customers... 0 customers = 0 YEN

What zone?
# Feb 07 2005 at 6:54 PM Rating: Decent
Ok what zone is this spell found in. I cannot find a map for any of the listings. Someone please help me

This spell will not mez ANYTHING outside of GoD zones. Talk about getting some one all excited to get a new spell then raining on thier parade.

I agree, I wish all of SoE had one neck. It would make it a lot easier to strangle them all at once for making crap **** spells like this!

Ok, this spell has now been "fixed" since I last posted about it. When it first came out the spell description said any creatures up to levle 64. It now says level 59 and can be used to mez mobs outside of the GoD zones. It is still a shame that to be able to kill the mobs that drop this level 57 spell you almost have to be level 65. It is still a usefeul spell when doing the Mud Rings in PoEarth and other areas.

Just really glad it works now.

Sometimes I wish the world had one neck.

If anybody remotly connected to SOE reads this.
WHY?
rotten placement for a good spell
# Mar 29 2004 at 5:08 PM Rating: Excellent
so... what level 57 chanter is ever going to be messing with level 67 mobs deep in GoD?

this spell is a crock. I was very much looking forward to a aoe mez with higher level of utility. But it will never happen. No enchanter that is present for either of these fights can make any real use of this spell except as someone mentioned farming.

I think sony needs to add it to the loot table of something in the level 60-62 range at the highest.

I completely agree -- I picked it up today and will probably never use it at this point :-\
A little off topic...
# Mar 11 2004 at 2:19 AM Rating: Decent
What level are the mobs in a normal-difficulty adventure if all 6 group members are 65?
If it's 59 or lower this would be nice.
RE: A little off topic...
# Mar 11 2004 at 6:30 AM Rating: Decent
If I remember correctly, when I was around 60-61 and grouped with all 65's (average level <63 = level 65 adventure) there was a white /con pretty often in the adventures. So it looks like this wouldn't be much assistance in the higher end LDoN.

Of course, now I don't think I'd want to go back to the aggro generation from AoE mezz spells in LDoN. I've gotten spoiled with puller/tank combos that can hold out the 5-15 seconds it takes me to mezz any adds that show up. And if I pull aggro, then my arcane rune can usually handle the ONE mob that's beating on me while I fnish with the mezz attempt.

Although, it would be a great spell when running around farming, etc as most of the mobs you'd go after tend to be 59 and under.

Just me 2 copper.

Dropped off Ra`tuk Kjyt Gykk a level 67 mob in Barindu. This mob hits for 1k and flurrys so will be tough to take down at level 57.

No drop??

All the GoD spells I have seen are no drop. The graphic on them looks like a wizard rune instead of the normal parchment graphic.

Anyone know what this is? If it is new from Discord or is it an NPC spell that's been here?

I've never noticed it before at the very least and it would make the chanter from 57-58 useful again for mezzing.

Thanks in advance,

If you look at the raw spell data and scroll down a ways you'll see the "source" is Test. My guess is that this is a new Discord spell that is still in the works for the Live servers.
