Game Forum / Role Playing Games / EverQuest / December 2005LDON clarification
Recently I posed a question about minimum time between LDON's and we now have conclusive data; 45 minutes between request 1 and request 2 at same camp. What we have yet to try is request at camp 1, complete LDON in standard 22 minutes, then magus over to camp 2 and request. We don't all have stones yet so we can't test this atm. ~F In alt.games.everquest, Faeandar <mr_castalot@yahoo.com> wrote: >Recently I posed a question about minimum time between LDON's and we >now have conclusive data; 45 minutes between request 1 and request 2 [quoted text clipped - 3 lines] >standard 22 minutes, then magus over to camp 2 and request.

So it's 45 minutes, from the point you get given the mission, no matter how long it takes you to get into the actual zone?

Mission received, timer set to 45 minutes, complete mission in 22 minutes, sit for 23 minutes attempting to get new mission all the while receiving the message "you are still resting from your previous mission". Now to try the magus mem-wipe. :) ~F > Recently I posed a question about minimum time between LDON's and we > now have conclusive data; 45 minutes between request 1 and request 2 [quoted text clipped - 3 lines] > standard 22 minutes, then magus over to camp 2 and request.

You could use the NRo and EC camps; they're within easy running distance. -- Don. --------------------------------------------------------------------- -- See the a.g.e/EQ1 FAQ at http://www.iCynic.com/~don/EQ/age.faq.htm -- -- Sukrasisx, Monk 58 on E.

Although that would be a solution, its not necessary to waste that much time. The OP says we don't "all" have stones yet. Well, (besides the obvious solution, get everyone else their stones, five minutes risk free work which will save each person more than five minutes travel time the first day they have em) all that would be necessary would be for one of the people who -do- have their stone to use the magus to check the second camp. I recall a great many people I did LDoN's with in pickup groups being unaware of this, but there's no need for everyone to go running to a magus camp each time you want to do an LDoN, only the guy actually pulling the mission has to go, as long as you are all grouped when he pulls the mission, you're good to go regardless of which zone you happen to be in when he does. Make your leader someone who is bound at the magus camp, and he can gate right to it to pull that next mission as soon as you are ready, while everyone else heals up, meds up, replaces buffs, takes a "bio break" or whatever. I never did any missions quickly enough to butt up against this 45 minute wall, so I didn't test the question of whether you can get around that by pulling a mission from a different camp instead...

Dont you think its weird that they are so "uber" that they can finish a Ldon in *standard* (lol) 22 minutes,but didnt manage to get the traveling stone,which takes 5 minutes?

Wouldn't take me 5 minutes to get the LDoN Stone. For a start, it would take me about 50 seconds x number of zonelines just to do the zoning, then travel time on top. Assuming I'm a gnome and start in PoK. That's 1 x zone into Steamfont, 1 x zone into Ak'anon, 1 x zone into Steamfont, 1 x zone into LFay, 1 x zone into GFay, 1 x zone into BB. That's 6 x 50 seconds which is 5 minute spent just zoning. Add in the run times, and the time taken to navigate to the NPC in Ak'anon and it's more like 10 minutes :p SignatureTony Evans (ICQ : 170850) Recommended Author : Stan Nicholls [http://www.stannicholls.com] Never do today what you can delegate tomorrow. Meet the wife : http://www.darkstorm.co.uk/grete which is still 13 minutes before the timer expires ;) __________________________________________________________ Submitted by: Isloor This message was submitted through the Erollisi Marr Forum And you could shorten it to 1x Steamfont, 1x Ak'anon, 1x Steamfont, 1x PoK, 1x BB. Or they could all just hit the return home button as they first log in and just do 1x Steamfont, 1xPoK, 1XBB where you get both the stone and your first LDoN for the night. That's some efficient traveling and time management I tell you what. __________________________________________________________ Submitted by: Isloor This message was submitted through the Erollisi Marr Forum In alt.games.everquest, Isloor >And you could shorten it to 1x Steamfont, 1x Ak'anon, 1x Steamfont, 1x >PoK, 1x BB.

That's some efficient >traveling and time management I tell you what. Well, zoning into PoK takes twice as long as anywhere else. And the run from BB stone to BB LDoN Camp is longer than GFay to BB. With my zone times, it'd be tight.

Time spent zoning != RPG either. But there's no need to go to Ak'anon, why not take the stone to the new froglok town, which happens to be located in Rathe Mountains, which is one of the spots with a "usable by all races" LDoN stone guy... unless they eliminated it when the frogs moved in?

Do what? Aint on no high horse, just reada load of waffle how zoning is a chore....':p' doesnt change the fact you are whining cos you have to go through a few zones. Meh, have fun playing Everdead.

But that aside, then once you have the stone, you never ever have to do it again. Although five minutes may be a bit of a stretch, it certainly isn't very much time to spend for something you'll use over and over, even if it took you thirty minutes. >>> Recently I posed a question about minimum time between LDON's and we >>> now have conclusive data; 45 minutes between request 1 and request 2 [quoted text clipped - 11 lines] > >Meldur Somewhat twinked but not uber. What we have going for us is a more twinked SK with a Fungi Tunic and nothing but DPS. SK, warrior, beserker, wizard, bard (ok, so a bard isn't exactly DPS but those haste/atk/mana songs sure do help). Then we supplement with whatever comes along. The issue with getting the stone was time, as in we only ever logged on when we got together and wanted to just 'hit it' immediately. Never really needed it until we got things worked out and started the sub-25 minute completions. Also, I as a troll never got a message about the "hushed message" or whatever it was. Nothing in my home city, nothing in BB camp, nada. Talked to everyone in my home city, Vual Stoutest in BB, some dude in EC, and then finally a druid came along and told me about the frog in Rathe. Went there and now I've got the stone. So next week I'll test the magus-wipe theory. ~F Let's be honest Faeandar -- Snack is pretty uber. |
