• Hail, we're RedGuides. We want you to play six (yes, 6!) EverQuest characters at once. We have scripts and a friendly community to help, please join our playstyle and say hello! 👋
  • We've added LLM sections to our Terms & Rules and Resource Rules, for everyone's sanity & in-game safety.
    Read more
    a. Do not replace your voice with an LLM. This goes for your posts and your scripts. Drafting and editing with a tool is fine, but don't take you out of what you share.
    b. Do not replace your EQ character's voice with an LLM. We don't want scripts that speak over /ooc, /shout or other public channels. This has been an unwritten rule that's kept casino scripts off the site for decades, but we're now compelled to make it clear: keep automated communication private.

    Why Does RG Review Scripts?
    Nearly every LLM-written Lua script we see is making your character do impossible things, and rarely in a way that's beneficial to you. We've seen heavy server hammering, /target over impossible distances when /nav spawn would passively accomplish the same thing, a spawn search that fires 20+ times per second, and other pointless actions that are likely annoying GMs.

    You are welcome to use LLMs as a tool to structure, draft, and edit your work, but please read critically before hitting /lua run

Question - Shiny respawns

blahblahblah84

Well-known member
Are there any instances with shiny collectibles where the shinies respawn? I've been trying to finish some old collections in CoTF and it's just painful grinding greys in instance after instance .....

I'm using overseer for a bunch but that's slow too. Any suggestions?
 
Ground spawns respawn. Have never paid attention to the ones that drop off mobs.

Have you checked baz? Most of the older ones are pretty cheap.

Which ones do you need? I might know of a good spot lol
the CoTF ones that spawn after you complete the missions - I don't think they respawn. ya get whatcha get and you don't throw a fit
 
For the collections that spawn in missions most of them you can do the mission up to the step where the collects spawn, pick up all the collections then drop the mission, rinse and repeat until you get the ones you need. Then you avoid the lockout timer.

That's what I've been doing, but it's still a pain in the arse! Unfortunately you can't buy most of those old collectibles in the back.
 
There are rare missions that actually do have this mechanic. But it almost seems like an error when it does happen. I remember one of those in TBM Crypt of Decay. For the life of me I can not remember any others. The COTF ones are especially rough as you need to do SO MANY instances. But you can really tally up a lot of EXP if you manage to collect all of them from COTF. I spent way more time than is reasonable for a sane human collecting COTF and ROF collections. And I did it BEFORE I had the power of MQ.
