Some Tips with harvesting tier 4 : EverQuest 2 General Discussions

Admins/Mods you may want to move this to a restricted folder bu tI request that I be allowed to see the feed back from this.

Hi Everyone,
Until I can get paypal up and running so I can pay for access, so I can start to look at the scripts and help out there here are a couple of side effects on the recent changes by SOE.

"Danger Free" Tier 4 harvesting
Blood Skull Valley is a "raid zone" attached to the south center area of the Commonlands. This zone has access requirements but it is a very easy quest to complete. Please visit http://eq2.allakhazam.com/db/quest.html?&eq2quest=642 for more details.

What has changed: SOE has changed the entry requirements for BSV to be 1 person instead of a 12 person raid.

Why this matters: When you zone into BSV you are offered a brand new instance with brand new harvest nodes, all Tier 4 harvestables are availible in BSV.

What to expect: When you zone into BSV you will be attacked by some where about 20 orcs that are about level 20. As a level 29 Guardian they were grey and could not harm me so I was able to wander around with all these orcs beating on me and still harvest with out worry. If you get annoyed at them kill all but the last few if you kill them all the next wave of the raid instance script will trigger and you will get more powerful orcs beating on you.

Another Change by SOE: BSV has a 0 minute re-entry timer for failed attempts on BSV. This means that you can enter BSV harvest all the nodes you want, zone out, zone in and have a full zone of fresh harvest nodes.

In summary: BSV is a quickly recyclable safe zone for all your tier 4 harvesting needs.

Will post a set of changes for tier 3 in a little while as well

I find it much easier to just harvest in Zek near Three Toes.. No agro mobs, and lots to harvest.

Cove of Decay is better, no lag from 30 orcs beating on u.

YEP, BOTH THESE ZONES WORK I HAVE HAEVESTED RARES HERE AS WELL:)

I think the idea is that with BSV, you get your own harvest zone with a really easy keyed access quest.

that and for freeport peeps bell to cl and griff to hidden valley and you are there and don't have to run to any of the real t4 zones
