Ancient Blade Drop Rate
 
Previously discussed and resolved in this thread:

http://www.project1999.com/forums/sh...t+Blade&page=3

At some point on Live however it went from being an uncommon drop to a guaranteed drop. I'd like to make the argument this change coincided with the June patch which eased the requirements on the Warrior epic to add Green Scales to Hoshkar:

Rumor has it that there is a new source for green dragon scales in Norrath.
First mention of the blade drop being changed is in August 2001:

the ***** drops blade every time now.
Granted the post doesn't seem like the most credible of posts, but I know on Live this did get changed and I've yet to find any posts about Queen not dropping a blade after this point.

Now I know Magelo shows an 84% drop but it doesn't count it if you don't actually loot the item and being that it is a non-MQable piece of an epic it's understandable some people would leave it behind. It is 100% on Live currently and has been since late Velious.

In the absence of evidence to suggest June versus August, I think flagging this change for August is also acceptable, I just figured they might pair up some epic changes in a single patch and not mention the drop rate one.

Discuss!

this is clearly hyperbole...

Could be... But at some point it was changed to 100% drop.

That's the only mention of a drop rate change and no more posts exist past that point where someone claims they killed a Queen and it didn't drop a blade.
