EOF Shinnies static?

[Quda]

<p>I know of one person, who goes into a zone, heads to a certian corner, solo's the mobs, and collects the shinny.  And guess what, a rare shinny piece each time.  Yes, each time, guarnteed rare shinny at this one location.</p><p>And, please no Random discussion, I saw him do it 32 times, documented.  He tells me he has over 60 of these rare items that sell for 8p.</p><p>I didn't think it was possible.  Why would someone put into the game static shinnies.  Then I got to noticing, there is always shinnies/pages in the same locations in Unrest.</p><p>And no, I will not give out the location/zone/name of this test. He already complains that he is now having to race against others to this one spot for the shinny as others are starting to discover this.</p>

I think there are areas in zones that have a higher percentage rate for spawning rare collection items, but I don't think there are any "guaranteed" rare item spawn points.

<p>The more people who know about it, the lower the price will be. Please, do tell. <img src="/smilies/3b63d1616c5dfcf29f8a7a031aaa7cad.gif" border="0" alt="SMILEY" /></p><p>pricing for shinys is REALLY rediculous.  The other day, I was in CB keep and collected two oracles in a row which sell for 1-3 plat on my server. Anyone can do that....collecting isn't hard. They just screw over the lower level characters who have no way to do that and demand outrageous prices.</p><p>Heck, it's common to see level 15 gear selling for 5 plat on my server. It's rediculous and hurts any true newbie to the game. I really wish you could only have 1, or maybe 2 characters, per server.</p>

Haha what the crap... you have a mysterious place you won't speak about that you know pops a rare shiny every time? Your mention of Unrest makes no sense - just because a collectible can spawn in the same spot every time, doesn't mean it's the same item every time!

If you're complaining about it, you know that the devs won't be able to fix it if they have no idea where it is right?

<p>I know of a spot where I can get rare shinies.  I don't get rares every time, though.  Maybe 1 in 3.  Still, a great ratio.</p><p>I don't see anything wrong with it.  It's in a hard-to-find spot, and I'm fairly sure there are at least 5 or 6 others who farm it from time to time.  Mostly, I only do it when I'm bored and waiting for someone in the vicinity, or am harvesting items in the area.  I pass the extras out to alts, friends, and sell some of them.</p><p>There's also one spot I know of in Fallen Gate that is 90% likely to be a cracked dark elf bone.  That isn't rare, though, so nobody cares.</p>

I think there is something similar in old world Norrath too.  Going into Stormhold for my lowbie Templar, there have been 6 shineys that I know of always appearing in the same spots.  They don't necesarily give out rares, but they've been things I haven't had yet for the most part.
