Seeing what feels like an inordinate number of glowing drake orbs. I don't have a solid log, but after killing a lot of minis over the year that Velious has been out on P99 it feels like Glowing Drake Orbs drops 33%ish of time. Much more frequently then anecdotes and data indicate is normal:

http://everquest.allakhazam.com/db/item.html?item=15934#m10688142809456

I don't know if all the minis should have the same drop rate for that item but it looks like if you averaged the drop rate from all of them on Magelo you would see around 10.7% or by raw kills to drops 12%. If you are looking at them as having different drop rates the highest is 23% and 5 are 15-1%

Waaaay too many drake orbs. Especially off of Lepethida. Please fix.

Let's see.* What else died since the last update. . .oh.* Doze-slacker bit the dust and dropped some more tears.* The spawn times on the drakes is currently killing us.* Also the fact that 9 out of 10 times they seem to drop the damned Glowing Orb is also fairly fucked.* I'm calling it right now folks, Dozekar and those ToV quests are the biggest clusterfuck spawn waiting to happen. . .
