Not all named mobs drop a chest
In certain cases, certain named mobs will never drop a chest and their solo purpose for existence (other than to kill you) is for the progression of a particular quest. A good example is in Rivervale where you need to kill 3-named mobs (Alegos the Betrayer,...

Buying the rare versus buying the combat art/spell upgrade

Named Mob Drops
Every zone will have named mobs that spawn in certain areas. Most of the time, named mob spawns are random but some of them can be triggered through clearing “special” outdoor areas called Dynamic Adventure Camps (DACs). However, dungeons don’t have DACs,...

Can you solo group mobs?
BY SOE intent, you are not supposed to, however, there are quite a few classes that can fairly easily solo group mobs. Even If you are able to solo group mobs, I would strongly suggest against it because the time to kill these mobs is lengthy (versus...

Buying Fundamentals

The EQ2 Axioms of Money

There is no definitive amount of time you have to spend harvesting before getting a rare, however the censuses seems to be between 4-8 hours. I.e. If you spend 4-8 hours strictly harvesting, you should expect to find at least 1-rare raw. To one extreme,...
