Just an observation, but I don't recall reading in any form of
Arthurian legend, a Knight of the round table, questing for the Holy
Grail, sitting around on the ground for 16 hours on the off chance
that it might just pop up.

Heheh, they never found the Holy Grail, did they? Maybe they should have
tried camping! ;-)

francs.

Probably because they weren't competing with 2,000 other people who knew
*exactly* where the Holy Grail would be and when. :>

Or killed all the rabbits and squirrels in the forest in hopes the grail
would spawn.

They all died, too. Maybe they should have tried to find it as a group
instead of solo'ing.

No, only shamans do that in EQ since they have to if they want
to kill the glacier bear for the shaman armor helm.
Yes, I am bitter about that.

You haven't seen the cleric quests then, 8 hours waiting for a bag to
appear on the floor of a cabin, on a tree stump, in a waterfall and
underwater.

Want to know the real kicker ?

Clerics have to kill your glacier bear ASWELL (he drops both your
quest item, and a quest item WE need)

You got it easy compared to us (with the possible exception of
Grizzleknot)

Great, then 6 people can sit around and get bored instead of just the
one =)

I think that's the mob that drops the grail.
