so you found the hope stone. details inside

[NightKid]

You should have known better. The beginner/intermediate/advanced manuals from the quests suck total ass for the effort involved. I was making the comment to a friend last night that the hope stone reward would have to be at least 150 hp/mana range slot item to be close to RvR balanced. He then told me jokingly "knowing how dumb the manual quests are, it's probably 50 hp/mana at best". I guess this is what you get when you have to hire a new staff for every expansion. That item might have been considered good at the end of Kunark. Come the fuck on, SOE.

and another milestone to an everquest without love to details and imbalance.Wish they would let us player balance this game, we can do this 1000% better.At least for most decisions,why even itemize it with this kind of bad loot?
May be they want you to recieve something if you do the quest so they can upgrade and balance the loot when they have time for it and you have something to proof you did the quest.
Whatever, how lame

[ArkturusMaximus]

that item would have been unbelievable for a melee at the end of kunark...remember idol of the thorned was the best melee range slot item till late velious.

[Cybsled]

Er...actually, where IS the final item link? All I've seen from that link are the advanced manuals, which dont require the stone ;p

[Lenardo]

main page cyb...main page..

for the spawn you have to kill, verant should be embarassed.

Heh little bit of irony just caught my eye. You know those secrets of EQ books people try to sell on ebay? Hehe. What do both things have in common?

[Gulelin Stormweaver]

With every new update i see i'm more disgusted with the PoP itemization.....how the fuck can they be so stupid?? Even Rydda dar in the HoH trials is way harder than any boss in VT.....and VT loot is on par with most of the stuff i've seen dropping. That quest Furor did should have returned an item with 140 hp/mana and Conservation of Xegony(20% Mana Pres).

Whats even funnier is that instead of changing the itemization on the new content, they'll prolly just nerf the old stuff instead, probably by making the encounters more difficult.

No doubt you hand the secrets of the planes manual along with the essence of the nameless to zebruxhisface and get the upgraded version. Same thing, only +90 mana!

I bet you think I'm joking...

[Faldaani]

Ok this is my first post here

You guys ever think that this item is a part of a quest for a key to Plane of Time? A obviously unfinished quest (Surprising )

Maybe it involves The Rathe or something, granted most of the PoP items suck in risk vs reward but look furthur then ph4t l3wt on this one

[Thand]

well add Vengence X to the thing and it might be worth geting. assuming you don't have a guild who farmed vt into the ground and all your melee are at the attack cap or who are wearing full suits of elemetal armor

Ok...now its been upgraded (100 hp/mana, Vengeance 3, and Conservation of Solusek....its no longer complete crap...but...ummm...bleh.... boosted by 25 hp/mana, 15 raw ATK... and dropped it from 15% mana preservation on all spells to 15% on detrimental only..... was nice that they realized it needed an upgrade, but I still dont think they've realized that they're a bit short on balancing effort/risk vs reward...looks like they're trying to balance it for hybrids, but not really making it something that a pure melee or pure caster would really want..

[Tilien]

Still sucks. Rather have a aten neck, for any class...

[I R Insane]

Hope Stone is not Fennin loot...it's random loot from Fire, rare but random.

Item is still not worth going after..

[Grongl]

It *was* Fennin loot. It's *now* random drop.

[feressa]

Hope stone dropped from yard trash in PoWater last night, so it's not just Fire.
