Description

Up until patch 1.75, Shannon Estuary was one of the starting player zones in Hibernia. Monsters on the north side of the river were between levels 0 and 10. the Eriu were all between 13 and 22 in level range, except for Nasco and the waylayers who were 26-28. After 1.75, all zones south of Lough Derg were rebalanced as higher level zones, and Shannon Estuary became a zone for 25-35 adventuring only. As a result, many of the mobs in Shannon are still in the higher level range specific to the rezoning changes in 1.75.

Reproduction Steps

1. Travel to Connla, a starting player zone in Hibernia
2. wander into the hills north of town and find one of the many purple con mobs in the area.
3. Don't die

Intended Behavior

The monsters in the zone need to be rebalanced to match the level range of Shannon Estuary prior to 1.75; in particular the mobs around Connla all need to be rebalanced to match the starting level zone, and the Eriu in the hills south of the river need to be lowered to pre-1.75 levels. Nasco is supposed to be a level 27 quest mob but he and his lieutenants are around 28-30, and the quest Nasco's Spear is not soloable as given.
