How does one go to an already broken Fear plane and not expect to be bored
off his ass? The only time I could see this being even remotely exciting is
if a GM showed up and re-popped the entire zone at once, which they would
only do if some mobs were bugged.
As the other guys said, all imbrued armor is dropped in the Plane of Hate,
unless you get lucky and see it drop on a cube in Fear.
If you want an exciting experience, try not farming Fear for once, and
instead breaking it open on a full pop. You might actually have a challenge
*gasp* and fun. Instead of seeing maybe 2-3 dozen mobs in 5.5 hours, you
will more than likely see 2-3 dozen mobs in your first couple hours,
depending on how efficient your raiding party is. Not only will you kill a
lot more in less time, but you will see more loot drop in a shorter amount
of time. Last time I was on a Fear raid, we saw no less than 8 drops in the
first hour. It reminded me of the candyland that was the original Fear plane
opening.
Actually, I'd have to say that breaking Fear on a full pop is one of the
most fun experiences I have ever had in EQ, next to maybe killing Trak.
Kiting dracolich around is pretty fun too. =)
People farming Fear and then wondering where the fun went baffle me.
This reminds me of a running joke some friends have about farming Fear (if
this offends any of you, oh well):
Lleluvyn says, 'Hail there hardy adventurer, would you be interested in
[Farming The Plane of Fear]?'
Kruegen says, 'How do I farm the plane of fear?
Lleluvyn says, 'It is an easy task, done by many! Simply fetch me [a shovel]
and [Treasure bag] and we can get started! There is a [reward]!
Kruegen says, 'What is the reward?'
Lleluvyn says, 'Ah! The reward you ask? The reward is free [phat lewtz] with
no risk other then [/random 100].
