I'm not sure what exactly is going on, but there seems to be a bug in the panda drop tables. I've been camping them all over the zone for more than 16 hours at this point and not a single one of them has dropped the claws that both the p99 wiki (http://wiki.project1999.com/Panda_Claws) and Zam (http://everquest.allakhazam.com/db/item.html?item=6567) say they're supposed to drop "uncommonly". I've killed a lot of them. A whole lot.
What's more, not a single person I've asked in the zone has gotten one to drop.
Either the drop table has a decimal in the wrong place or there's some sort of bug somewhere. Some people have mentioned TLC, but the young pandas and panda cubs are dark blue to me at level 32 and 33, so I'm pretty sure they're not "trivial", especially considering how much hp they have and the 40% spell resist rate I've seen.
The tiger skins for the Yuio's Illness quest (http://wiki.project1999.com/Yuio%27s_Illness) seem to drop ok since I got both I needed within half an hour. I've foraged multiple bamboo shoots and kejekan palm fruits since I've been camping the pandas, but not a single claw. I've even had the time to collect six heretic heads to turn in for a haste sash -- but the claws for a much more elaborate collection quest with a wildly inferior reward are *this* rare??
I mean, maybe "/shrug they're just rare" could be an explanation, but if so, then this entire quest is a heinous waste of time, given the reward and effort required.
