  • Before the server went down I found quite a lot of stuff:
    over 2,000 patty melts
    over 5,000 minotaur hero brews

    Didn't buy any of them but I did buy 51 blue diamonds off one vendor along with grubby fine parchment.

    • Return to diving

      I took a break from EQ to recharge my batteries and I'm back

      So its time to start vendor diving again. I actually dive with 2 different toons a bard for all the "local" spots (Bard speed diving) and a druid to hit all the port spots (LS, all the LDoN vendors, etc.). At least thats what I used to do.

      Has anyone found a decent pattern to use? I used to do PoK, then PoT, then all the LdoN, lavastorm, nedaria's/natimbi and then qeynos, freeport (pre-the new huge freeport) Cabilis, gunthak and Thurgadin. I would even jump to JaggedPine and varios Kunark and old world vendors (can't remeber the name of the zone with the HGs...brain fart!)

      Anyone have any other advice to a returning vendor diving fanatic? Whats still selling well, which TSS zones are worth it, any words on TBS vendors?

      • In West Freeport, there are several vendors in the tower that leads to Arcstone. Check them there may be a few. Then I head to check the vendor in Arcstone near the zone in from freeport. Finally I head to rellic and check the few vendor (usually can invis from zone in to the vendors) Quite often I find some CDDs, BDs, and Powder of Ro this way along with other stuffs. Also check the vendor in West Freeport near the PoK book (2 I think) I've found glossy drake hide and other goodies off Fuzzlecutter vendor. That vendor is greedy though charged me almost 3x what other vendor charges.

        I also check out every vendor in Abysmal as it's one of the popular place for tradeskilling and often people unload their "junk" when starting the tradeskill run.

        Oh yeah check magus and 2 vendor in guild lobby and if your gui'd hall has been up for a while, check inside for both vendor. Sometimes really good stuff ends up there. My best find in GH so far was 3x spirit of flame spell for beastlord. Sold them for 15k each.

        I rarely find anything from LDoN magus nowday so I pretty much stopped checking them. I do check the one in Nedaria and Natimbi.

        I haven't checked the vendor in various home cities since TSS came out because by default new toon starts in Crescent Reach. Other cities have largely been left empty.

        • Maelin crashed this morning so all vendor were reset once again. So I made yet another round.

          More BD's than you can shake your tail at.
          2 grubby fine parch
          2 exquisite deep mushrooms
          several deep orc meat
          some shissar meat
          Crystal of Yearning for 1 cp (sold it for 8k not even 30 min later)
          5 stacks of celestial essences
          several sporali skins
          2 crushed diamond dust
          2 regrua claws
          18 yttrium bricks
          almost 3 stacks of shissar scales.
          and an Ornate Chain Tunic pattern from PoP. Supposedly rare drop off raid mobs. Defiantly worth a lot more than 1 cp
          lots of saltpeter from corathus creep vendors.
          8 gnome bolts

          Good day today for me. But I need a second account as my main bazaar mule is full!!!

            I'm sorry to derail. . . .

            Would you call that an unusually large amount of Blue Diamonds? Such that one would be thinking of a dupe exploit?

              While I am seeing more blue diamonds it doesn't seem to be a 'dupe/exploit' least no red flags to me. I am finding them in small bunches of 1- 5 on very random merchants.

              At least thats my experience on Povar, unlike last time were I was finding 20- 180 on almost every merchant in a home city. If it is duping/exploit they have slowed down immensly and gotten smarter about dumping them.

              • I have not seen any unusual amounts of diamonds/blue diamonds/serpent spine diamonds/flawless diamonds since TBS was released. Hopefully that means the bug or exploit that was present previously has been fixed.

                • Also Abysmal sea wasn't know or listed as possible duping exploit. When I found 51 on the first time, no other trader had unusual amount of gems. Maybe 1 or 2 here and there but never more than 2 of any kind of diamonds.

                  The second time I found a lot, it was 2 here, 3 there like some raiding party had cleaned out a jewlery store and dumped them in abysmnal sea. No other diamond were found at all, just blue diamonds.

                  To put this thread back on track, I found some regruga claws on mage in guild lobby, some exquisite deep mushroom on a free trader vendor in undershore, 100 saltpeter on a gnome vendor in corathus creep, as well as some vergalid clays, steppes ores, and sunshard ores on guildhall vendor (I wonder how many more rotted away when the GH was shut down while I wasn't around to check)

                  • my best

                    I remember before the expanded merchant window....I found 5 stacks of BD....dang near broke me! recently I found a TON of oow stuff on a shaman merchant in PoK library....100s of shimmering ukun hides (ogre tailor lovin' it!) and hundreds and hundreds of diamonds, black sapphires and such.

                    My best non-tradeskill find, however, was a pre-nerf Circlet of Shadow on a merchant in SH. Just 30 min before a patch. Woot!
                    Some days it isn't worth chewing through the leather straps....

                      • Tss zones have some spell merchants in various zones, and often the only merchants which makes the ones in mesa good and one in Dire. Few seem to return to CR to sell though.

                        Also just jumping around the Magus (multiple Magus are Magi?) often gets a few nice finds starting in guild hall and ending in butcherblock with only a short run back to pok again. Also heading to guild halls in home towns, rangers guild in Kelethin often has a few nice surprises, after people have pressed the "Go Home" login after the hunt the night before and then sold up.

                        • Yesterday the 7th Hammer crashed for the first time in I can't even remember how long. About 20 minutes before the crash I found 1 Taaffeite and Minohoten's Purifying Panpipes Rk II on a vendor in Natimbi. Good thing cuz there was about a 15 min rollback!

                              • I raided for a bit after patch today, but had to leave early. Found 2 each of the 66, 67, 69 research components on the west lobby vendor after I gated/before I logged (~2.5 hours after server-up).
