Thanks for the offer, Riskiest. DE Warrior has all his noob armor except the boots. I believe there are no orc foot bones in Nektulos, or, if there are, they are ultra rare. I read someplace about killing orc pawns south of the bridge, but there are hardly any. My DE 4-man army has camped the small Orc encampment south of the river, west side of the zone, and I believe I got most of the drops I needed there. On the other hand, that's why I now have a HEF ranger, to help out with things like that. Dark Elves have a deficit in tracking skill. I'm hoping that the orc footbones will turn up in Crushbone. At least the ranger is having fun there.

The warrior isn't doing the killing; I've been strategic about keeping him from completing kills (cough, zone edge in crushbone, cough.)

If you have a technique for the pristine forest drakeling scale in Gfay (for the ranger's tunic, last missing piece!) I'd love to hear about it. she's willing to spend more time tracking stuff around and killing, but if there's a quadrant that's more favorable, please share the wisdom.

And does anyone want to tell me about basilisk eye stalks dropping from basilisk hatchlings, or shall I open a new thread on that? Last piece needed for the chanter's robe. My little folks aren't ready for the big basilisks in Lavastorm, but I've been tracking and killing the basilisk hatchlings in Gfay. Will eventually head back to Nektulos.

Basilisk eyestalks are rare/uncommon in Nektulos and, I think, uncommon in Lavastorm. They are common in the caves in Jaggedpine, but those guys are way too big for you.

(The jaggedpine ones are soloable xp for an untwinked rogue, for a few levels, and the eyestalks are a poison ingredient.)

Thanks for the tips on basilisk eyestalks, Yeniu. I'm surprised that Jaggedpine Forest is in Mac EQ, I thought it was a Gates of Discord release.

Jaggedpine was added sort of in between expansions, but you can tell it's rather old because it includes drops and quest givers for old quests (like the last of the Qeynos badges and the druid mid-level quest armor. On the other hand, you can tell it's newer than Surefall and Qeynos hills by its elaborate trees. (Warsliks has trees that move like that, so maybe its of that vintage).

It was quite a while after Kunark but well before GoD, a lot of peeps just didn't use it until then because it bordered the Abysmal Sea
