Talk:Quest:School of Hard Knocks

From Cities

Perhaps a foolish question, but something I'd like to know beforehand: When you say "it hurts," you're in no danger of dying, right? I figure that, like dragon blood and poison, it won't reduce you below 1 HP, but I'd like confirmation before I go take 7 levels at once... --Dragon 16:36, 13 April 2006 (BST)

You're correct in the assumption that it won't take you below 1HP. Makes for a good place to heal people although I suppose thats about as cheesy as healing people who are in limbo... Zingus 16:59, 13 April 2006 (BST)

Actually, if you go there with 4HP or less, you actually get healed (a little bit) by the process. :) Darksatanic 17:45, 13 April 2006 (BST)

Thanks, guys. And Zingus, yes, that's cheesy if the patient is just going to take another level. However, I could certainly see on-call doctors lining up on the road next to the School for people to get healed as they leave.... --Dragon 18:02, 13 April 2006 (BST)

Agreed on the last point. For that matter, I've been wondering if it's worth setting up a summoning registry (like we have for Pinatas) so people working on their Water Skin can get summoned when there are people at the School who need healing. Anyone have an opinion? Thog 20:49, 13 April 2006 (BST)

Sounds like Thee Hippocratic Order of Flying Doctors to me... BlaisedeC 21:10, 13 April 2006 (BST)

Not exactly. Flying Doctors can get summoned anywhere and at any time, no? Seems to me that the Hard Knocks doctors would be ones willing to be summoned once down to the School to heal as much as they can down there. Think of it as halfway between the Pinata Summon and the Flying Doctors. -- Thog 17:00, 16 April 2006 (BST)

Well, in that vein, I would be willing to get summoned down there for some healing. Not only do I need to get some more healing for my Water Skin, but I wouldn't mind getting down there myself. I haven't taken the Gauntlet, and would prefer to do this beforehand. Plus, I need a cod from Brighthelm. Feel free to summon me, palantir me, or leave a message on my page. -- X-Himy 18:43, 19 April 2006 (BST)

Is it just me, or drop probabilities have been nerfed? I killed two Triffids today - no stings, and a Crocodile - no scales. That's the first time something like that happened to me while killing these creatures.. Agzu 16:24, 28 May 2006 (BST)

Happens to me all the time. -- LittleHamster 17:14, 28 May 2006 (BST)

I can't even FIND any crocodiles! Where are they? Brandy 15:54, 31 December 2008 (BST)

Most commonly, they're in swampy terrain in the Interior region. However, they're frequently hunted because a lot of players want their scales. Try repeatedly clearing the same patch(es) of swampland to get them to respawn. --Dragon 00:28, 1 January 2009 (GMT)
