Crusader's Test of Pain - Resolved

[Sheitan]

for the past few days i have been killing froglok raiders in swamp of no hope. killing them in the hope of looting 9 of 10 pages i need to progress on the green mist quest. well, i have killed many froglok raiders in the past few days and they continually have no loot. if someone could check the loot tables for the mob and ensure the quest drops are there?

or ya know whatever you guys do!


thanks,

Pozoxx

Killed a number, only Tome Binder dropped for me so far, no pages and the drop rates suggest I should of seen at least 1 page by now if not a lot more.

No idea if this is right, but it indicates someone's guess that one page should drop every kill, so a 10% chance of getting any particular page per kill.

Greenmist is gonna be in the game? This and Whistling fist were added an expansion or two after Kunark and are a bit powerful for this time period no?

The iksar shadowknight khukri quests != greenmist.

I just read the subject line. So Greenmist and Whistling Fist are out then? :)

[Uthgaard]

For now.

[Sheitan]

so much for testing that quest line! at least the first step is functional...

[Pyrocat]

For now.

And will the shaman cudgel quest line stop at a certain point?

And will the shaman cudgel quest line stop at a certain point?

Bump for this question :)

[Gibcarver]

I remember greenmist and the shammy cudge that clicked the mini avatar before Vellius came out, I remember working on it with my shaman thinking how sick the damage ratio was.
I also remember shissar bane doing nothing for years and being purely lore until luclin came out.

[Uthgaard]

Shaman cudgel stops at 5. From what I saw while working on the quest lines, it looked like there were plans to implement them after Kunark launch, but they also left a lot of Kunark to be developed after launch (like VP), so they probably finished that up, and then got pressure to focus on Velious content, and it was forgotten until Luclin came out. When they added the claw of the patriarch quest line, they found the lingering unimplemented quests, and implemented Kunark content in Luclin. A similar dilemma will occur in Velious, with shawl 8 and the ability to make Coldain Velium Temper.

Whether the later quests are added, and if so, in what form, will be a design decision. Some of them won't even be possible to do on p99 without revision, if added at all (no way to make celestial essence, for example).

I am doing the Khukri quests now that Kunark is live. I made an Iksar SK on test, but never got high enough to do more than the 1'st one.
I killed the Froglock raiders for 3 hours today, maybe 50 of them.
Got the Tome binder 4 times. Not a single page dropped.
I met another person killing them, and he said he has killed 60+ and never seen a page.
Thank you for your work here!
