In my experience killing him on live this was his rarest drop. We only ever got 1 in Velious. It seemed like tstaff rarity per draco.

Second opinions and prof welcome.

None have dropped on Blue. You may just be getting lucky.

Yeah, RNG. There is another thread on this same page about warder drop rates in ST. You guys on red are unlucky there while on blue we have been fortunate to get a bunch of SoD, tink masks etc. Whereas on blue we are suffering with staff of widdershins and bone razors being common off draco. It's just random.

Is it confirmed Draco still dropped his old table after upgrade or did they just grab the loot list from Allakhazam that never bothered removing the old drops from the page?

PoFear revamp in 2001 was the last time Draco has been modified as far as I'm aware:

http://eq.magelo.com/npc/98297/a-dracoliche

Grotesque Girdle - 28% - (31/107)
Fearsome Shield - 28% - (30/107)
Zombie Flesh Bracer - 27% - (28/107)
Berserker's Ring - 19% - (21/107)
Crimson Robe of the Alendine - 16% - (18/107)
Bone Clasped Girdle - 4% - (5/107)
Spined Dragon Claws - 3% - (4/107)
Monsoon, Sword - 2% - (3/107)
Widdershin - 1% - (2/107)
Staff of Undead Legions - 1% -(2/107)

Shawl of Protection - <1% - (1/107)

So on live those crappy old Draco items kept dropping, yes. But based on the Allakhazam posts there's 1 guy talking about getting a Bone Razor from a fear raid and what to sell it for, and 1 guy asking price on Widdershins. I don't think either state outright it dropped from Draco, though they're posting on the Draco page.

Every other post talks about girdle, ring, shield, bracers, or robe rotting. 1 mention of shawl dropping. No mentions of undead staff, monsoon, class, or BCG (though Girdle may be either girdle).

Damn 1%, seems way more common than that for sure. 100 kills is a pretty good sample size.

we've gotten 4, including a double shawl drop

either insanely lucky or fucked up drop rate

Sounds like you've had some incredible luck. I wasn't aware of a single one having dropped on Blue. I guess I was wrong and 1 dropped out of the what... 15-20 Dracos with 2 loot each time.

I think we've seen... 1 Shield, 3 Grotesque Girdles, 1 BCG, and like 6 crap items out of 5 Dracos?

we've gotten 4 shawls, 2 or 3 grotesque girdles, 2 shields, 1 bracer, 1 bcg, 3 or 4 rings, and a few shit items like robes and bone razors

I was in a raiding guild on rallos zek in 2001 and shawls of protection dropped commonly to my memory, hope this helps.

back on zek in 01 I recall shawl of protection dropping probably 40% of the time, if it's of any relevance and I believe it is, I remember my high school teachers name, phone number, and address from when I played then

iirc colgate, 5 yes? 2 double drops, and 1 shawl/shield drop. Either way its super lucky, or high drop rate.

As far as AoNs go, We had 2 drop total since revamp up until a week ago or so. We didn't even see a 4th loot table drop off the golems until the 5th or 6th clear when we got 2 bloodfires and a soul leech and some random item. Had no idea they could drop up to 4 items per. So far on red, one guild has had 2 aons drop seperately diff raids. another had 3 drop in one raid, 2 off one golem 1 off another. Kind of sucks still seeing bone razor and staffs/bloodfire junks dropping. crimson robes etc all that. Guess its all random, but AoN seems like a miss so often.

Taken has gotten maybe 8 AoNs since the revamp?

its very very very hit or miss - and you get surprised when the golem holding Widdershit staff puts out

We've killed a shitpile of golems but only 1 AoN so far, however 6 slime bloods and counting...

*** BUMP ****

have kiilled 3 golems + draco 5 times total now looting 3 shawls and 6 AoN's.

If memory serves correctly (boy let me tell you it does, - I remember my phone number, address, and teachers name from highschool) this is exactly how it was back in 01' on Zek.

Another double Shawl last night Nilbog. I think we've crossed the plane of "luck".
