The issue presents as failing to zone. If you have other group members, they just see the member drop instead of zone. The member can immediately reconnect instead of going through the classic wait for LD.

For the sake of discussion, let's say the trio has to contain
  • a melee (WAR/PAL/SK/BRD/RNG/ROG/MNK/BST),
  • a priest (CLR/DRU/SHM), and
  • a caster (NEC/WIZ/MAG/ENC).
So ROG/ROG/ROG is out, sorry!

For the purposes of this question lets assume a raid mob is considered any boss that drops some gear and has a 1+ day respawn. So no trash mobs with no drops etc.

My current theories:

Classic:

PoSky - Sister of the Spire (island 7 boss) / Eye of Veeshan (island 8 boss) / Hand of Veeshan (efreeti on island 8)

Currently we use a collection of mods to keep the eqmac client working on modern Windows 10/11 systems. One of the mods is EQW which makes the game run in a window instead of full screen. This is a mod from 2002 and while it has served us well, it keeps the mouse locked to the window and generally doesn't act like other windowed applications do, as well as having some well known crash issues that can happen while switching...

First: hail "a fortunate adventurer" by the PoK stone in PoT. Follow the dialogue (or just say "fortune") and receive a Useless Hunk of Metal.

Second: Put the Useless Hunk of Metal in a bag.

Third: Kill mobs in PoP to have a random (small) chance at ornate patterns dropping.
