top tier eq by zone (courtesy of Klandal and Kegor)

Postby aeohir » Tue Aug 05, 2008 1:00 am

I was running through Klandal's lists of 'top tier' eq for mage/priest/hitter/tank and got curious as to what zones yield the highest percentage of these items. So I ran his lists through kegor, deleted the 5-6 items neither kegor nor I had zone info on, removed duplicate items and tabled the results. Obviously there are issues with this, it's one person's (Klandal's) opinion on top tier, quest items might take eq from other zones, no tia gear, etc. etc. However, I found the results mildly interesting so figured I'd post them anyways. (I)nvasion, (N)ormal, (Q)uest, (R)are, (S)tore are from kegor's db as well.

Ya, that's pretty close to what I'm doing.

technically SPOB stuff is quest based, don't think it's rares.

Yes, technically you are correct. But I found it very difficult to classify the items in question as quest items, due to the nature of the results of the quests in relation to the completion of the zone itself. The random aspect of the results of the quests far outweighed the norm of a single item that is produced by completing a quest. So rare was the only flag that really made sense to me.

Interesting, I didn't realize that any GF items were quested, I thought there was only Bad Ansi and frustratingly random rewards (10 person bid dogpile on Lupine mask, anyone?).

Aside from that, thanks for the list. Quite cool to see the break-down.

I think it highlights a number of zones that have had their rewards nerfed by proxy with the new zones maxing the hell out of the eq calcr.

if you wanna get technical and what not, i'm pretty sure only 2 items from golem forge are there all the time, everything else, is quested, since the whole zone is a quest, could be wrong, only done it like 3x or so, and i haven't really zoned in over a year

They're not quest rewards as much as they're just random load rewards.

don't argue with a jedi master son! i said quest rewards! you hafta hunt and gather 6 or so items for one quest, and quest multiple mobs for the other, sure all items are from the same zone the questees are in, but it's still a quest
