Seafury Drops

[jilena]

It seems with the last patch drops were changed on seafuries. I am unsure if this is intentional as no mention is made in the patch notes.

The drop rate seems absurdly low and I am getting drops from them I have never had before such as a Ruby Crown and peridots. The drops seem almost identical in rate and quality to kunark mobs in the same level range. (i.e. city of mist)

Thanks!

Noticing same thing.

It seems they are now dropping Rubys, Ruby Crown, and Sapphire necklaces.

On top of the random peridots, jaspers, etc.

The "old items" still drop off them.

The overall drop rate of items seems much much lower than before.

I am encountering the same thing, getting Onyx and Sapphire Necklace. And droprates are incredibly low. Is this intended/undocumented change?

[thefloydian]

Yeah, the drop rate seems out of whack, and I've received some of the same items listed above.

Not trying to pile on, just another thankful player here worried over his lewts that noticed the same as above.

[Uthgaard]

This is fixed.

[Rand]

Woot. Thanks for quick work.

[Rand]

Is this fixed, or fixed pending update?

[skellogg02]

Also wondering same thing.

This was fixed meaning it was fixed in the patch Sunday and what is currently dropping and the rate is correct?

Or it is being fixed in an upcoming patch?

This morning, the odd loot was still dropping.

Thanks

Is this fixed, or fixed pending update?

[Kraftwerk]

I assume pending next update since I just looted a Ruby Crown.

[Uthgaard]

Always pending update.

[Rand]

That's what i thought i just wasn't sure. thanks again.

Just looted a Seafury, he dropped a Sapphire Necklace and Ruby. Both don't appear to be part of their loot table per ZAM:

[Uthgaard]

Zam not listing a trash drop is a far cry from evidence that it didn't drop.

[thefloydian]

Yeah. It's hard to tell what they dropped because it's been so long since I killed one on live.

[Kraftwerk]

Well I know prior to Sunday April 17th patch I had killed more Seafuries than I care to count and saw 0 Sapphire Necklaces, 0 Rubies, 0 Ruby Crowns and after that patch the SFs started to drop them. Everyone else who is a SF regular was also surprised by these seemingly 'additions' to their loot tables. I thought that was the bug, that they were dropping Sapphire Necklaces, Ruby Crowns and Rubies. If that's just normal, cool, I have no problem with it. I just wanted to bring it to your attention since I thought, as I said, the bug was that they were dropping those items.

Doesn't show them ever dropping sapphire necklaces, rubies or ruby crowns, it's a late entry but as it stands now, maybe the drop rate is TOO high?

[redghosthunter]

Yeah, the drop rate seems out of whack, and I've received some of the same items listed above.

"Seems out of whack." Gives me the giggles to see, mature players using street slang. Glad I'm not the only older player around.

Just killed one 2 mins ago. Dropped an Onyx. I don't think they're supposed to have those. Fixed pending next update?

Edit: and now a peridot. I don't know whether this was intended but those weren't dropping before kunark launched.
