Yeah, uh, can we get a mod to do a forum /sticky?<div></div>

[FionnMacCo]

Cool post thanks I've bookmarked it and I making an official request for a <font color="#ff0000" size="5">STICKY<font color="#ffffff" size="3">Cathbad</font></font><div></div>

[dharmakat]

<DIV>/Bump. Thanks for all the great info! Can anyone make this post sticky? a lot of useful information in here. </DIV>

[sostrows]

added a bunch more threads and broke it out into a few more categories<div></div>

[sostrows]

did some updates<div></div>

[Bombodale]

Sadly every link doesn't work now in this great FAQ since the forum change. Anyone has a formula for translating links?<img src="/smilies/9d71f0541cff0a302a0309c5079e8dee.gif" border="0" alt="SMILEY" />

[Jade]

yes running in to the same problem cannot get any of the links from the first post to work =(   any sugestions on where i might find  a list of where and what mobs drop defiler masters ?   

[TuHideous]

Bummer that I just found this thread. Alot of info in here that I would love to see, but none of the links work. WTG SOE!!!!!

[Moongloom]

<p>I don't know if it is just me or because they changed the forums...but none of these links work for me. (except the one that takes you to EQ2Maps)</p><p> So don't know if this needs unstickied until we get the info back or if people need to repost the info and get it linked through here.</p>

[Koyle]

A shame... but imo guides should never be created by using links to the info.  Always put the info in the guide itself.  This post has been rendered useless.

[Buttertart]

*cries* Now, if they could just fix the links... This looked to be a great page of info too~ will try searching for the "new" right pages ...

[baguetteovenfresh]

if you search "tips" in defiler forum it brings up the old pages. kinda. <img src="/smilies/3b63d1616c5dfcf29f8a7a031aaa7cad.gif" border="0" alt="SMILEY" />
