Haze Panther Still Trivial 300+ ?

[Tejaye]

I saw on recipes that some Haze Panther items were Trivial at 300+ skill. So i figure this would be a good Tailoring Path from 250 to 300.
Does anyone know of this will be nerfed?
Is DON and Cultural the only 300+ Trivials that will be left?

Looking at the recipie now it says Haze Panther items trivial at 252, so no.

There's also holgresh fur items, ice silk, velium hound, storm rider, elemental stuff.

Holgresh fur probably the least painful.

Nerf

I hear Holgresh and Oth Furs will ne nerfed in a few weeks also.

[Arkaron]

That's not something I've heard officially, so I'm not paying attention to it.

Absor isn't official enough? (not sure if he mentioned Holgresh, but he definitely mentioned Othimir)

May not be in this upcoming patch but it will be soon...

[Arkaron]

Bleh.

Ice Burrower, Velium Hound and Velium Mastodon may be a pain, but at least they're all farmed in the same zone. Expensive combines though... Can't tell you how many of each of those it took me to get 300, but I still have several bags each of Ice Silk Caps and Mastodon Cloaks

Othmir fur trivials - when changing?

Where are people getting this information as I would like to verify or at least get a better idea on a date and not get hit again like the solstice robes? I've still got about 60+ chains sitting on an alt I'm just holding now for a friend since I can't personally use for skill-ups anymore.

Since I'm a halfling and can't get any Greater Reptile Hides to drop in CT for the Master DoN armor as the drop rate STINKS, this would be even one less option out of an already very limited few compared to other races to try and get to me over 270.

Thanks,

Western Wastes

If i dont have CoV faction, and I hunt in Western Wastes with my lvl 56 druid 2 boxing with a lvl 65 Mage, will I be killed a lot, or can I avoid danger and still farm the hides?

if you find a spot to avoid the wandering big dragons, you should be fine. all but one are on CoV, the other one is on ring of scale ( Esopra of the ring, appropriately enough). and i believe that the dragons only really wander in certain areas. there might be a place that has the wander paths, remerber there being a site that had all the dragons listed. can't recall what it was though.

EQlive I believe is where most dig up the information. It was stated by absor that in the next patch (which was scheduled for the 22nd, postponed to the 23 and now is postponed again to the 29th) that with the minimum skill chance being added to DoN Master/Grandmaster level armor Sickles and Othmir fur and Shadowscream were going to have lowered trivials.

If something else gets lowered too though, I wouldn't be surprised.

[Tejaye]

argh

They are lowering Sickles now? There goes Smithing.
I know EQ is mainly focused on the level 65+ crowd, but EQ doesnt have to destroy the enjoyment of lower level folks who cannot farm DON.
