Guardian robe questions

[Ciderpress]

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.

Yes it still drops. Friend of mine hit 8k kills before he got his,another got 3 in under 5k total...ss drop rates are awful.

1. It definitely still drops. These forums are littered with posts about "does X still drop" and "Y doesn't drop anymore." It's random and it's very rare. You aren't wasting your time (any more than you normally are when gaming).

2 & 3 I don't know.

Ok thank you, I figured as much but at a certain point even a nerd like me goes uhhh, what am I doing?

I almost never see other people trying to farm it either, that was another thing which made me think huh.. maybe something changed? Sometimes things are deemed to be out of era so they nerf\remove them. Who knows.

I will resume my sweaty grind.

There's a player here on Green who has farmed at least four. :) Some for hire.

From what I've seen I believe the Fe'Dhars are the preferred mobs to kill

They're not and cannot drop the robe. Only named Guardian gargoyle mobs.

Trying to throw me off the scent..

I'm up to about 4000 now still nothin. Did see the rare guardian sword once though.

It took me 2216 kills to get my robe - in that time I saw

1 BP
2 Swords
6 Legs
and 142 sapphires

in talking with others, I would guess 4000 is in the camp of "somewhat unlucky".

Just confirming it drops only off the named Guardians as well

I'm not gonna waste time to dig it up because I don't really care but someone put together a comprehensive thread with data of drops for the rare skyshrine items and recommendations on the right mobs to kill. I could have sworn the conclusion was killing Fe'Dhars but apologies if that is mis-info, maybe they were after a different item. Either way for the people that care look up that thread.

Thank you for the info.

I'm finding them easiest to kill quickly on my druid, but once I'm kos all the annoying green trash drakes and crap body aggro, so now I'm trying to calculate how many guardians I can kill from ally before I have to fix faction to avoid annoying trash aggro, and if that number is worth it or if I should go back to my shaman. The robe is for shaman (have a guise it's gonna be epic). This is the most EQ camp ever haha.

I think you're thinking of wurm lord shawl, which is also stupidly rare and does drop from the fedhars.

I supercubed on my enchanter for like a year straight at fedhars and never saw a shawl.
