Sorry in advance if this is redundant, I tried searching for other threads but they're all ten years old and closed.
1) Does this thing actually still drop? Can anyone confirm they've looted one in like the last... 6 months? I don't mind something being stupidly rare, I kinda like camps like that, I just want to make sure I haven't been wasting my time. I know it's classic for it to drop during this timeline on p99, but things can get messed up and overlooked in patches etc.. I've been camping it for over two months now, have easily killed over 3000 guardians and have gotten basically every armor piece many times, including 3 bps and 4 legs. The rest I lost count but easily a dozen or more of every other piece.
2) Wiki is not exactly clear on it. It says the named guardians drop it, but the wiki article is a mob called "a gargoyle guardian". So should I be killing those too? Cause I've been avoiding them.
3) Some of the guardians in skyshrine are much harder than others. Do the harder ones offer any kind of increased chance to drop it? Cause I just stick to the low green ones that are easy to kill. I can do 10 per cycle that way and be full mana again before they start repopping.
It's definitely a horrible camp but I have made about 14k in sapphires and all the thurg pot mats I could ever want, so it hasn't been a complete waste of time in any case.
