So uhmm how about add some duration to mind blank. It's purely a prep spell, and to get through 15 people takes time, and to have it fall just after you enter battle after getting it done is pretty pointless.
And fix enchanter xp? :p

Oh and was wondering if someone could check or re-evaluate the load rate on some rares, like a certain one in ZK Inn and CP Bazaar. Or perhaps also have it % load over time, which also increases the rate.
I know people have done the same quests and most likely w/the same load rate, but we have huge uptimes now and I've been checking pretty consistently for 6 months and haven't even seen it load once. And once the MUD does crash/reboot if you're not on at that 1-2 min point right after then you're SOL for another 4-5+ days.
With a load rate I imagine 1-10%, avg uptime of 4 days, that means it loads 1 - 10 times a year.
I understand rares are a way of controlling the influx of eq, but it's not like these checks where you basically turn in an item or solo a mob make it the quest any more "difficult", esp. when a number of these all you had to do was turn in some money and you get the same benefits as this now long-winded quest.
Thanks in advance for looking into it!

You need better data. Like how many times did you actually check as the first person. I just got one of the rares you mention (a week ago) and I got the other a few months ago when most boots was around 90 hours.
Sometimes people say they have checked as number on 70 times, but if they counted then it would be much fewer. The rares load, but they are rare. The can ofcourse always be increased in frequency if we want more eq in the game.

well, over the last week when it was crashing all the time i was the first to check like 90% of the time (or within a 10 second margin.. not enough for it to poof).. the bazaar one loaded 5 times.. saw him 3 myself just out of curiosity, however that other one was never there... and i checked in with other people who checked it.. nothing, besides can you really tell me you are able to check right after it boots every time for that piece of s*** rare? come on.. most of us work and or go to school not to mention blow time and money on the ladies. load rates should have another chance at loading every 20 hrs or so... else its impossible to finish annoying quests like that...
oh and, you should all be pimp like nerox and not use/quest mindblank.. then you could also not have an opinion on the subject. :P
You're right I'm mistaken about the CP load rate, as with all these crashes I've seen it about 3 times myself, so that's 6 total for 0 of the other one.
As for hard data, from the last time I've seen the beggar load and there *are* ways of knowing if he's been quested yet this boot, it's been 1 for 35 at least. With the previous uptimes, that means 1 person can finish this quest every 3 months. And we'll see how this ongoing tally is.
Though no more complaining from me, since we can't do anything about it. But can judge if it's really "fair"/"suck" from the data itself.
But yeah, Grundar, my other points was hoping all rares are a continuing % chance/delay load, if even kept at current load %'s, so that everyone has a chance within, say, a 24 hour period of finding a rare they need instead of at boot.
And mind blank is only reserved for the dwarves!
