Not one to call sploits but the non aggro harvesting using the spider illusion from the gnome quest on KP docks needs to go. Prices on rares are high on every server and they are incredibly easy to harvest. What does everyone else think about this?

I don't know if it's an exploit, but it does seem easy. The fact that anyone in their 70's could get this disguise from the quest makes it somewhat fair, and the disguise only works around the spider caves does limit it. Also, the more people harvest rares from there, the market will be flooded, bringing down the price of the mined rares.

Some of the mobs in the caves are levels 68 and 69, which means once you hit 80, you'd be non-aggro to them anyway, so you could easily wander around without the disguise mining nodes. The mobs are solo mobs and have very small aggro range anyway, so harvesting in the caves even at 72 or 73 is very easy anyway, especially for a pet class.

I did appreciate that an illusion or disguise like this did make you non-aggro to the surrounding mobs. I think more illusions should be that way personally.

I think its intended, its very everquest 1 like... which is the feel for this entire expansion. (except questing to level)

When you complete the quest you lose the form. So purposely not completing the quest so you can harvest is an exploit. Grabbing a few harvest while you are doing the quest i don't see as a problem, but when you realize you are not using the form for its intended purpose and instead to gain an unfair advantage it becomes an exploit imo.

Wow lets all jump on the exploit bandwagon. I best start tiptoeing around now, I don't wanna exploit shit. Can I jump off this cliff as a shortcut? I have safe fall, but I don't think it was intended. Give me a break. Let the devs work on something meaningful other than policing fucking rares.

In Beta it was a 1 hour illusion and the item poofed after you turned in the quest. I guess you *might* consider it a 'sploit it someone just never turned in the quest to keep the illusion.

So many exploits in RoK. I wonder what else is out there that isn't widely known.

SoE had to make that deadline. Rolling out unfinished products makes the cash roll in.

Flames now has 0 support from anyone. No TTH, no Zam (although I'm not sure how much there was), no SOE, no one.

This is clearly an exploit and all offenders should be rolled back to when they started abusing this mechanic.

/sarcasm off

I could see it being an exploit if you banked the disguise (it is an item, no?) before you turned in the quest, but otherwise not so much.

Hell when I did the quest I got my update in 5 minutes and harvested for another 30 , would have harvested more but lets face it... harvesting IS boring.
I guess if ya did keep it and not turn in the quest it would be a kind of exploit ... but maybe then rare prices would actally drop.
