Lesser hit smobs

[Raiku]

Are there any future plans to make the lesser hit smobs more appealing? You know the ones I'm talking about; they are kind of out of the way and not along the path of a typical smob run, and quite often don't load well at all: Ebony, kennel keeper, sentry, belroi, and replicating maiden.

This is what Ebony has to offer currently:

Ebony Blackwood is using:
<held> a velvet pouch
<worn on head> a camouflaged hood
<worn on body> a black leather corset
<worn on arms> a set of chainmail sleeves
<worn on hands> a thin pair of leather gloves
<wielded> an estoc
<worn about waist> a bronze belt of odd design
<worn on legs> a pair of earthen colored breeches
<worn on feet> a pair of knee-high boots


I, personally, feel like a smob should not be using a weapon you can buy at a shop for a few crowns.

This smob also deals emote damage and requires the group to run with canoes. People forget about these lesser smobs as they are inconvenient to reach and have not much to offer.

It's loading two pieces of dodge, plus a middling chestpiece. I personally feel that gear is already too easy to get in this game. This probably what smobs should be loading, just a few pieces of top end gear and the rest meh.

Isn't Zamora part of a chain to open her safedoor? The one in Lug, then in Mayene?

But yeah, theres a lot of smobs no one really hits any more. :<

Whatever the smob is called.

Lots of the smobs listed are most definitely being hit, though maybe not by you. I would take kennel keeper, armored sentry, filthy man, and Tariq off this list.

What's the point in adding more smobs to the rotation when there is nothing that they can load that isn't already readily available? Top tier weapons are now left in barrels because they are so common. The only items that have currency are rares and vials. I think before we add more smobs to the common rotation, we need to deal with the lack of any sort of economy.

I remember KK being popular many moons back. Alas no one really frequents that area much nowadays.

And Aylia, wolfie, obscured and DSL used to be the most commonly hit smobs. It's not really a big deal that they're not anymore. Other smobs have taken their place.

Weren't you just in my smob group the other day that hit all of these?

There are other things then equipment you could expect getting from smobs- how about a major amount of xp/qp, gold, random load could make things attractive too. Just thinking out loud.
