Dirt of Underfoot
 

The current drop rate is much more rare than it was on Live. We're now few magicians to have experienced high amount of kills without drops (30, 40+).

On http://eqthieves.com/class-magician-epic10.htm:

On allakhazam.com, you can read from the comments it can be rare, but not that rare.

On eq.magelo.com they give a 36% drop rate.

Officially (proud) member of the 50+ kills club as we speak.

Stopped at 60 kills. This is broken :(

50 Kills in as well, drop rate is fubard.

22min repop mob in one of the hardest epics to finish isn't supposes to have a super rare drop rate.

The Dirt of Underfoot is found on Slixin Klex. It is a common drop. He won't be very difficult finding for he spawns (-500, -1100) just north of the glowing meteor every 22 minutes. He is a level 50 warrior and has 11000 hitpoints.


Would appreciate a quick fix on this, I know there are a bunch of little bugs and everyone's got a legitimate reason this or that should be fixed. I've also seen Devs come in and ask for links ect if a player/s think something isnt right, well the link is in this thread, and the crappy camp is getting to be a hostile holdup for Magicians.

Thx in advance

Got it after 64 kills. Good luck to fellow mages until it's fixed.

Thanks Ninik for your lucky charm presence!
Current theory: gnome presence increases drop rate.

Yay grats on finally getting it !!

Drop rate is currently set at 15%.

If there are no objections, I'll increase it based on the magelo 36%.

I believe you.

But so many "bad luck" in so little time? Maybe there is an issue with the RNG here.

I had 1 chance over 32900 to need 64 kills. 2 other mages have reached the 50 kills (1 chance over 3381). That's a lot for only few days.

So yes, maybe there is an underlying issue elsewhere. But I also bet you got a test routine to ensure it's working fine. Wierd.

If I can do anything to help you test stuff, lemme know.

Increased to 40%, pending update.

Did the drop rate on this ever get increased?
