Cautionary Note About 1.75
Posted: Wed Jun 15, 2005 11:46 am
Unless you are an avid reader of every word of every patch note there may be some things that could slip by you regarding 1.75 that would be worth noting.
With 1.75 all the SI portals are moved to near the capital cities and all new toons start in Mag Mell, Cotswold or Mularn. Therefore the mobs in the "old" start zones are going to have their levels increased, quite substantially. Not all quests that use these zones seem to have been completely re-vamped to account for this so be careful when accepting low level quests on new toons - they may not be doable until several levels later.
An example: my level 21 heretic on Gaheris went to Avalon Marsh (mobs used be lvls 1 - 10) to find everything was purple. Sent to kill a previously level 11 quicksand it found them conning red and purple (quest instruction said run past some wolves that would have been grey to a 21 but it found them all purple, highly aggro and very hungry for an inconnu snack).
I understand that Shannon Estuary may also be populated with level 30ish mobs in 1.75.
Also, the Old Hermit and the Blademaster for the Cad Goddeau epic no longer live in Lough Gur. They're been rehoused south of Brynach.
Just some things to look out for if you don't go to the very end of the patch notes.
