Gnome Skin Sleeves  

 

I picked up a pair of these in bazzar for 1 copper....lol some mad idiot haveing a big sale

i consider myself a little lucky. i was wanderin around out in OT, decided to sell and see what else the merchant had. it had a pair of these on it and only for about 5gp.. of course i bought them.

Hi everyone,

I thought I would make a useful post about this armor. Keep in mind that this is my experience, and may be different from what you personally have seen. Here goes...

Gnomeskin gloves and bracers drop on the 1st floor.

Gnomeskin Tunics, boots and legs drop on the 3rd floor.

Gnomeskin Sleeves drop on the 5th floor.

I dont really count the other peices (the ones that dont show, because this armor is pretty terrible besides the all black look).

I have seen that the other peices of gnomeskin drop on the 5th floor as well, but more rarely than the sleeves.

Here's an example.
I went on a key raid to the tower of frozen shadow, and on the first floor, gloves and bracers dropped like mad, with a few other peices.
No gnomeskin dropped on the 2nd floor.
On the 3rd floor, tunics, legs and boots dropped like crazy, with a few extra peices.
On the 4th floor, we got no gnomeskin armor.
On the 5th floor, we got sleeves 3 times, and 1 tunic and 1 pair of legs.

The raid ended there, so I dont know about the higher floors. I'll let you know, we have keys to the next level, but everyone was falling asleep. =)

I LIKE THE WAY TEQTOO THINKS HE IS A TRUE INSPIRATIONAL GENUIS AL HAIL TEQTOO A VISIONARY IN EVERY SENSE OF THE WORD

picked some up last night in tofs (6/6/01) didnt really need em, just wanted to see if they REALLY were no rent....well they were gone this morning so i guess they are. hopefully it will be fixed in an upcoming patch

This is no rent. My pair is gone, poof. Did not notice this :( the rest of the set is fine?????)

Is this just a bad post or is this bugger really no rent? and if it is lol hope in a patch or two its changed =p

..they could make ALL armor NO RENT.

This would help create several things.

1.) Community development through the interaction of all levels of characters fighting over the orc spawn for leather armor.

2.) Complete class balance in one easy nerf.
'dude. you sure got crappy amour for a 60 WAR. Is that banded?' /duel

3.) Increase length of each playing session.
THIS is just what the doctor ordered for all us EQ addicts. Now we will have been FORCED to quit our jobs, leave our mates, disavow any RL association we have PLUS find a place to live that supplies electricity, an internet connection, and food (with alcohol preferably) all for free.

I can see it now...

'Naggy raid tonight! Don't forget to log on 7 hours early to pick up your armor, resist gear a MUST'

all this just to keep our gear.

I will conceed the point, that the NO RENT items only disapper if you're logged out longer than 30 minutes. HOORAY!! There IS light at the end of this tunnel!!

All we have to do now, to be totally controlled by Verant, is change our already ruined sleeping habits. This is Verant's idea to help all of us sleep deprived addicts, they CARE for our well-being! They KNOW we must stay healthy to live longer, to pay them longer, to play this game. And we can all see by looking at our fancy 'sit in front of the computer all day every day' physiques that Verant is only looking out FOR US! So they've created NO RENT armor to help. This is how:
We all know the benefits of powernaps. So we just get rid of that miserable 4 to 6 hours of continuous sleep we were already getting, and substitute it with twenty-four 15min powernaps. Pretty soon we'll have it down to where we won't even LOG off to do this!

And while were at it. Maybe all items should be NO RENT. Even epics. And maybe they could bring back the days of the 400 hour Faydedar spawn. Maybe make ALL spawns uber rare. That way when that orc spawned in Gfay, it would be mob rushed, KSed, and ninja looted for the leather cap. These are our favorite aspects of the game anyway.

And to top it all off, make coins NO RENT too.
In fact make experience NO RENT.

Total balance. Even the playing field. Make us all healthier with powernaps.

Thank you Verant.

Thank you for loving me.

Teq.
