That's the longest post I've ever seen. If you didn't use perfect grammer, I would've thought you were stark raving drunk.

lol...yeah, whoa...

But really, I wish I had known this sucker was dropping...I've been wanting to get into 2HB and this would have been soooo perfect! Argh!

(Did get the necklace and the belt, OOOH, the belt - but after 9 straight hours of that !$@%?# EK zone spam, I couldn't take it anymore...but would have, if I knew about this stupid stick!)

Did this drop in EK and RM or just one of them?

I only saw it drop in RM, and VERY often...being only level 34 (and repeatedly going back and forth between 33 and 34..losing spells, gaining them back)..I couldn't take out much (Druid)...but after getting this stick, it dropped off the next monster I killed....so I imagine it was exclusively RM...
2HB Practice....

To anyone who thinks this sucks:..sure, it could suck compared to what a Druid could have at around, say, 30 (when mobs in EK event were mostly Green, but in the Blues, up to Reds even)
But..if yer a druid who uses 2HB ..

As a druid who's used a Scimitar all his career, in anticipation of /actually/ getting an Epic...I know I won't melee, but I'd like to say I'm maxxed in the skill by then...anyway...

Carrying a scimitar that weighs much less than a 2HB...low weight, faster delay (I actually hit faster than some mobs..4-5x before they hit me)..I've never had the urge to pick up a heavy staff and bash things with it (being a Druid who can solo easily, I'm always encumbered with coins or loot (solo = all the loot that drops...gotta love it, anyway)...but guess what!

SOUL SHEPHERD = 0.0wt!!

It goes against all laws of physics, but maybe it's some noncorpreal stick that's been semi-solidified enough to be a slow hitting, but readily available weapon...what I'm trying to say is..it's the ultimate 2HB training weapon!! +5 WIS!! sure, I be giving up my ToV to practice, but by the time I get a mob down to that level where it won't hit me back (is this something new where a mob just stands there at the end, or have I just not snared enough before?)
It's great to use on monsters that can be leisurely solo'd...like giants, who have a lot of HP, but once they get to a certain % of life just stand there and have you either take one blast to kill, Dot and med, or practice weapon skill (I've actually gained 20+ skill in FM on mobs this way)

Carry this baby everywhere you go...use it as a status symbol..someone who searched the whole night for it just to complete the collection (I got them ALL but the idol, which was expected since it wasn't my guild camping the NPCs 4 times...) of Priest items (2heads(why?), 1 neck, 2HB, shoulders, BELT..oh, the belt...and the shoulders...nice...)..show it off...start a secret "Society of Soul Shepherds" where all members hafta own one of these to get in...it's a big stick, shove it in ppls faces and yell "Happy Halloween!!!" on Dec. 15th....it's an awesome item/weapon if you think about it! you can't give it away, no one but druids/clerics/shamans can use it, or show it off cuz they can't equip it!
(Warrior: yeah, I got a Soul Shepherd.
Druid: Prove it.
Warrior: uhh..it's in my backpack)
People will see this stick, think...a glowing whatever stick, I forget the name, cuz I don't care! I have a soul shepherd! they'll look at it and think, wow...he got one..I searched hours for one...just to have one...what a lucky guy/girl...

Unless yer a twink, or someone who already used 2HB and you don't need to practice 2HB, then keep this until it's rotting in your bank and you hafta, with a tear in your eye, destroy an item that holds memory of one of the wildest weeks in EQ I've ever seen....do you even remember how helpful ppl were being to each other? (before ppl started getting desperate and were actually offering 1k for looting rights!...gawd, I wish I found that stuff...I myself was offering 200pp for the Belt until a group of my new guild members send a messege over /guild that they found one, I was so happy....) ...

I'll keep this stick forever as a memory of the week I was getting 50pp and 100pp for ports for ppl to check out all the events...the nights I ported twice as much as I do in 2 weeks in just these past 4-5 days! Verant did a great job with these events...instead of making one event every 2-3 hours and making a GM hafta go play some NPC
killing everyone, and the first to kill him actually gets something ..boooo...

(Sidenote: I thought it was HILARIOUS on Xev when everybody in Dreadlands were running around waiting to see the dragon, DeathWing, most getting killed the second he arrived with his 900damage or something AoE (it killed you anyway...)..and then LifeWing came down to ask everyone for help....and they KILLED him!!! Can you imagine how mad that GM was when he got killed by a bunch of twinked out, level 60s (wouldn't ya hafta be? guess they'll think about giving him more HP next year!) took him out, he had to reload, and came down with a fury of anger in the form of some calm, collected (so made up on the spot!! bet he didn't expect that) explanation how NO ONE WAS GETTING ANYTHING and it was over!! that was so sweet..and we'll never forget it because of this whole week....)

Verant said "Happy Halloween, here's a free twinkage to anyone who can survive to reach the corpse"...here's a WHOLE BUNCH of collector's items you'll wish you had in 2 weeks....here's items better that what you should've had 5 levels but couldn't afford, for free...just find the spider it's on...instead of using the biggest zones (which would probably have been the Karanas...wouldn't that be fun ("earring about..2 miles West of the Gypsy camp!".../run)..they put events, WITHOUT GMs...that ran without scripts...just Mobs with their own behaviors, and others who yelled stuff out that I saw some ppl get creeped out by!! (something about my soul being tasty...gave me chills)...there were more events than I could have attended in all parts of the Old world (notice they kept the expansions clean so NO ONE...NO ONE was left out...except maybe that DL thing, but I don't think that was Halloween related now that I think about it)...there were events in EK, where'd I'd never hunted before...I now know the area kinda well, despite the red sky and mostly darkness...I'd never SEEN Rathe Mountains and it was so refreshing to actually have a reason to check out a zone that was so far out of my way I wouldn't go there unless I was gunna do the crafted armor quests, or isn't the JBoots guy there? I dunno....there were Werewolves in WC for the lower levels...sure, every Greater was tracked so much you couldn't get to one that wasn't half dead...and you'd think ppl ruined it by killing the big guy, but thats' a big guy who's NEVER gunna spawn again after this week...it's nice to say ya killed him, and well, upset a whole bunch of newbies in the process...-=P I went out of my way to see what was going on in Everfrost...sure, I was disappointed they didn't make Undead Polar Bears and Skeletal Mammoths, but it would have been a lot of work...considering how many new mobs they did make..(my compliments to the Undead Reavers in EK with their missing eyes...what a screenshot!!)...after being there for a while hopefully catching Karg to get my Lupine Claw Gauntlets (I can dream, can't I?), all of a sudden, it got dark, and werewolves started showing up on my tracking..I thought...oh, werewolves..yay...a WC event for those who didn't want to go that far...but then this lady shouts something, I can't remember her name...but the first werewolf I hit says "xxxx said you'd be trouble"...it was awesome! Werewolves that talked to me!! And btw, on the way to Everfrost I saw the lowlevel Skeletal Army that invaded Qeynos Hills...Skeletal Soldiers, Skeletal Spearman, Skeletal Troopers, Skeletal Swordsman, and even some higher guy they were trying to kill....that was awesome!....I didn't get to go to NRo while it was running, but I hear there was a giant snake? awesome!! Although, Undead SandGiants....think about it for next year, Verant!! Can't wait for Halloween on the Moon!! I hope I'm not missing anything...but I never did find out about the conman in Solusek Ro that has the gods angry at him for teasing adventurers with special weapons or something...really wanted to see that...anyway..back to this item..

This is not some crappy item you get in CB and sell for 2gp of yer lucky, this isn't something you twink a level 1 with...this is Memories...in the form of a really big stick...and you can shove those memories back into the face of anyone who inspects you....

I'm not going to forget this week because I finally joined a great guild on Xev (see signature)...I would have did all these events alone, listening in on ooc for info...but I had a whole new grapevine to stick my ear to, a group of ppl that worked together to get everyone something...I got some of these items cuz I grouped with a couple friends, teamed up, ran after /locs...sat on items!! And I'll have all these items to remember it too...

It's not a dumb stick, it's the ultimate practice weapon, and it's a solidified memory...only one other item I know so far that dropped for priests that shows is the Silver Threaded Bandana...on my WE Druid, it covers the back of the head, I'm not sure how much of the rest....

one last thing, I think it was funny how all the Priest equipment was referred to as "Druid"...
"look for Druid earring" "Paying 1k and more for Druid Belt"...I heard no one asking for cleric or shaman stuff -=P Is your guys equipment that much better than ours that we're still searching at level 30?

no, one more last thing...why weren't there any NPCs giving out candy when you said "Trick or Treat" to them...huh, Verant? I think it would have been awesome if each NPC(vendors only) gave out a stackable, NODROP NORENT piece of candy...make it "this is a snack" or whatever, but I think that would have been the coolest thing in the world to have....imagine everyone going to each city just to see what kind of candy the NPCs were giving out...or maybe it would just be the Priest of Discord..each one would give out a different kind of candy...or the banker...the possibilities were endless and Verant didn't think about...well, ya heard the idea here, first -=P

omg...I could have given out Candied Spider, now I feel stupid!! ahh!!

k, I turned my 2cp into 2kpp...I'm done now -=P

This may not be the best item in the game for classes that can use it. But here's a fundamental EQ truth that most of you have probably forgotten:
EQ is supposed to be FUN!
And while you may never use this item in-game (or maybe you think its great and use it alot), its a neat little status symbol that says, "Hey, remember that time when you were at that GM event and you got this?" Its a hell of alot more fun to acquire an item because you were there and you participated than it is to buy it on ebay. I remember hearing about some football player selling his superbowl ring on ebay a couple years ago. I couldn't help feeling sorry for that guy. Why would you ever want to give that up?
I'm not saying that EQ is anything like the superbowl, but at least you can look back and remember a good time. After all, EQ is supposed to be something you do during RL downtime. Try to enjoy it, at least a little.
No longer drops

Well, that is not entirely true.
If you saw the news about the patch on either Traders or casters realm, cant remember which, the patch put it in. AND on the 7th another patch is due. I believe we all have a week to get our drops from the affected zones, ie RM, EK, and one of the commons <East i think>. I know at 2am MTN these <GM event items> were still dropping like CANDY in RM anyhow.

The tough part about the RM zone is the Blood reaver is a "mini" dragon. Nasty aoe 500 pt cold spell, which I resisted when my cold resist buff was up. It hit me for only 79 at CR of 70 or so. He dispells aoe, so it kept dropping, and so did I. The score: Tinial 3 Blood reaver 5. I died 5 times in the zone last night and all were from him. Going back tonight for my helmet and then try for the sash and cape in the commons and EK later on.

Have fun, and GET TO THE ZONE. Just dont act like a noob and train everyone. :)

#REDACTED, Posted: Nov 01 2001 at 10:01 AM, Rating: Sub-Default, (Expand Post) hay, does it matter if its real or not. Nodrop item that doesn't even drop anymore, i think i want soemone tell prove to me its real cause no one will ever get one again.
#REDACTED, Posted: Nov 01 2001 at 9:59 AM, Rating: Sub-Default, (Expand Post) ok, i'm gonna stab myself cause you guys are so stupid. That guy talking about 1.lalala 2.scruthutin see 1., 3. I'm so stupid cause i talk like a ******. Listen if your gonna post make it a good message but don't make it so dumb that someone goes crazy and hang's their familys. Oh buddy if you want more proof, its nodrop and doesn't drop aymore. It doesn't matter if it is real cause it means you can never get it.

Perhaps it's because of your attitude that translates to you being the annoying person in the game that runs up to everyone going "dude, SoW plz" that you never find out about the GM event's.

I played over the weekend and new about 3 of the events, I was to far away to get them and was glad to know that the world is so vast that I can't just zone from one end of the world to the other with out the aid of magic.

And perhaps if you bothered to look at the equipment in the Current game that you can still get.. you'll find beastmaster on a bunch of No-drops.. want to know why?? Because they have put the code in for when the class does become active. Gee.. see how that works.. it's called planning ahead...

So, here are some tips for you to help you find another GM event..

1) Drop the attitude. It just means that you hit my ignore list really quickly.

2) Learn to post without flying the message with colorful phrases. See #1 for the reason.

3) Try to make friends and/or join a guild that is not filled with annoying people. It's easier to hear about things if you have 25 members on average plus a nice friends list speard out across the map.

4) Realize that "phat Uber lewt" is not what you are going to get.. get over it.. you want it.. follow the above 3 steps and be happy with what you have till you get something better.. even if it is only 1 ac higher then your current.


I have finished feeding the trolls here.. I'm off to continue spreading my cheer..
#Anonymous, Posted: Nov 02 2001 at 1:19 PM, Rating: Sub-Default, (Expand Post) OR, maybe this person has learned over a period of time that verant typically sux **** and most people are left out to dry, so they made the mistake of assuming. And they made the mistake of venting.
i can only speculate
# Oct 31 2001 at 6:27 PM Rating: Default
well since most or none of these items seem to be artifacts, it's quite possible that this was a trial run for VI to see how well these things go for holiday events. it seems quite possible that these things may happen every so often .... or not ...

Eq has been around over 2 years now (I played since beta 6), and we have had holiday event's before, bigger and better than a bunch of skeleton's.

#Anonymous, Posted: Oct 31 2001 at 9:28 PM, Rating: Sub-Default, (Expand Post) cuz gm event suck ***** they exclude **** loads of people.

I hit three or 4 different events, and this stuff doesn't suck. It only sucked if you were 50+ trying to camp it. hell, I would have loved the headdress, its better then my current helm.

Hey, don't like it? Go play AO, ya lame-**** gimp! Get your sorry behind off the server that has the great misfortune of having your ignorant **** on it and leave. That damn simple. "Wah, wah, I didn't get in an event with uber l3wt, Verant sucks..." Lame-**** loser.

Guess you're just unlucky, actually. I either saw personally (two) or heard of (two more) GM events over the weekend - and I'm only a level 7 character, I don't travel that much; the other reports were from one friend I was talking to on the other continent.
