Plane of Sky Drops

[Daldaen]

So there are a few sky drops that are dropping on the wrong mobs.

Currently all 6 types of Spirocs drop all items above. However it should be split into 3 mobs that drop spiroc feathers, and 3 mobs that drop other misc. stuff.

Magelo and 2001 Guide disagree on Banisher and Expulser drop tables. Magelo thinks Expulser should drop feathers and Banisher should drop other stuff. 2001 guide thinks Banisher drops feathers and Expulser drops other stuff.

I'm inclined to trust Magelo more since Sky loot tables haven't been modded much over the years but it's a Nilbog call. Not much difference either way though.

I think thats it for now...

[Erati]

in addition to Dald's fine research, here are some other loot problems with Sky Bosses

According to Magelo, the Queen bee is also suppose to drop the Wind Tablet ( War) http://eq.magelo.com/item/20978


Currently the Wind Tablet drops from the Spiroc Lord which always seemed odd because well he also drops the Spiroc Air Totem which is for warrior shoulders. It never made sense he had TWO warrior 'no drop' loots while the Queen Bee never dropped 1

Also speaking of incorrect warrior items dropping from the Spiroc Lord, the Spiroc Wind totem ( droppable piece for the 41% belt) currently drops off the Spiroc Lord

It should not http://eq.magelo.com/item/20977, the totem should only drop off random spirocs and the Guardian which it currently also does

Its a wasted drop on the Spiroc Lord much like the Glowing Sapphire you shown above

Old List (Nilbog patch)

Drops

Pulsating Ruby (Necromancer-No Drop) - Currently this drops from all bees / bixies. It should only drop from Bazzt Zzzt (boss-6) -- Magelo link (http://eq.magelo.com/item/20787/Pulsating-Ruby)
Glowing Sapphire (Cleric) - Currently drops from Bazzt Zzzt (boss-6), should drop from trash bees but NOT boss -- Magelo link (http://eq.magelo.com/item/20814/Glowing-Sapphire)
Amulet of Woven Hair (Bard-No Drop) - Currently drops from all trash bees / bixies. It should only drop from Bazzt Zzzt (boss-6) - Magelo link (http://eq.magelo.com/item/20827/Amulet-of-Woven-Hair)
Nebulous Sapphire (Monk/Enchanter-No Drop) - Currently drops from all bees, should only drop from Sister of the Spire (boss-7) -- Sister of the Spire (http://eq.magelo.com/item/20802/Nebulous-Sapphire)

Black Nebulous Sapphire (Enchanter) - Currently does not drop. It should drop from trash spirocs -- Magelo link (http://eq.magelo.com/item/20773/Black-Nebulous-Sapphire)


Quests


Enchanter Test of Disillusion - Should use Black Nebulous Sapphire instead of Nebulous Sapphire.

[Erati]

yes it seems the war 41% belt is suppose to be even MORE rare with the no drop from the Queen not ol Tucan Sam

[Dentalplan]

Reminds me of something I had been meaning to post - Nebulous Sapphire should not be required for the enchanter earring. It's totally unprecedented that the same boss no drop is used for two different quests in sky. Someone even posted on allakhazam that they tried to complete the enchanter quest with the nebulous saph and it didn't work.

http://everquest.allakhazam.com/db/quest.html?quest=331

Nebulous Sapphire doesn't work for this quest. I attempted to do this quest today and Enderbite wouldn't accept the Nebulous Sapphire, but she did accept the harpy statuette and adamantium earring.

Seems much more likely that Black Nebulous Sapphire (http://everquest.allakhazam.com/db/item.html?item=56654) was the piece that was needed, but isn't widely known since info on Sky is a little bit lacking in general. It would fit the general pattern for sky quests (no drop from isle boss + droppables from 2 preceding islands), but this piece would need to be added as it doesn't drop on this server at all.

[khanable]

Nice finds!

[Daldaen]

I agree with Dentalplan's research

That quest should use Black Nebulous Sapphire and it should drop from spiroc trash. Updating OP.

Updated post to be more comprehensive about PoSky in general.

[Man0warr]

The Black Nebulous Sapphire isn't used for any Enchanter quest currently, so it doesn't need to drop.

[Daldaen]

Did you skip the only part of the Quests section??

Fantastic news Nilbog! Looking very much forward to this next patch.

[Thulack]

It will be used so then it does need to drop :)

Solid, thanks Nilbog.

Bump:

Sister of the Spire should NOT drop Ethereal Amethyst (Magelo) (http://eq.magelo.com/item/20801/Ethereal-Amethyst). This should only drop from trash bees.

[SyanideGas]

Anything in there about Bixie stingers dropping more? No? Fuck.

[Daldaen]

Nilbog:

We have killed probably 200~ of the spirocs on Island 5 that drop feathers, yet we have not received an Emerald Feather. Did this possibly get set to 0% drop rate in the swapping of loot tables?

The last record I have of one dropping was in November, before the patch. Do any guilds have logs of looting one in the past 3 months?

[Man0warr]

I don't think we keep logs but we only have 1 left in our Sky banks, but 3-5 of the others.

[Daldaen]

Would be very interested to hear other guilds' experiences with feather droppers on island 5.

Or if Nilbog can check to see the drop rate or if any have dropped in the last few months since the patch.

can u take elnerick's entombment of ice, the druid pets and ice spear solist out of plane of sky plz

Some weird stuff going on with this, but it is indeed not dropping.

From magelo, it appears it should drop from the following npcs:
Spiroc Guardian
spiroc arbiter
spiroc caller
spiroc expulser

The arbiter, caller, and expulser are pretty straightforward in that they drop the other feathers, but the emerald is missing.

The Guardian, on the other hand, has no feather drops right now. Should he should drop a feather 100% of the time, in addition to his other loots?

[Daldaen]

I think the guardian is just supposed to drop 2 items from the feather or the other loot table.

Based on those Magelo values, the feathers seem far more common than the other items. I'm unsure how all that worked. Maybe it's a chance to be a Feather/Feather, Feather/Trash, or Trash/Trash.

The Emerald drops off the 3 trash spirocs definitely could use fixing though. Lots of shamans eagerly awaiting an emerald feather.

would it require a patch or could a hotfix correct the loot tables

[nilbog]

That is doable, but based on the drop %s, seems strange. I bet it is 1x feather table, 1x trash table. Will need more input before I change the Guardian's loottable.

The rest of the spirocs, Fixed, pending update.

Patch.
