Shardwing/Petrifin/Morti/Grazhak/Quid
 

The loot has been and is currently reversed on every single rare spawn in Rathe Mountains: Morti's rare should be the vest, not the staff; Grazhak's rare should be the axe of the slayers, not the mith-plated girth; Petrifin's rare drop should be the eye of petrifin and not the granite bracer; Quid's rare should be the Man-O-War, not the hair hood. In addition to the below proof, I also have personal experience from camping these mobs back in '99/'00.

Currently, this is all reversed on both blue and red P99.

Shardwing:

Shardwing in Rathe Mountains is suppose to drop the arrow AND cloak every single time. I've been killing him tons on P99 and a few times on P99 red and he drops arrow about 80% of the time only. I wish I would have found this proof a long time ago. I knew yall had something wrong with him. Here is proof. Please read all comments. Every single comment posted states he drops the arrow AND the cloak for them.

SHARDWING PROOF - READ COMMENTS

Grazhak:

When reading the posts on the link below I counted 11 comments of someone killing him and getting the girth vs 3 comments of someone killing him and getting the axe.

GRAZHAK PROOF - SEE COMMENTS

Quid Rilestone:

"I've killed him about 5 or 6 times, all hoods and 1 man-o-war. Maybe good pre-kunark, but worthless now." You can almost instantly see that the Man-O-War is by far the rare drop by reading the comments on the below link.

QUID RILESTONE PROOF

Mortificator Syythrak:

"But he does drop more than just the staff, he also drops a Sythrakk Hide Vest. AC, STA, STR and something else, Monk only. But it is his rare drop, I believe."

"About three hours later he was on track again. Did him again. End result 2 staffs) Made 2 of our shamens very happy."

"He dropped the staff, which i think is the common."

If you read the comments you will see that there are 10 reports of the staff dropping and 3 reports of the vest dropping. There is one comment where a guy just says "the staff is the rare, the vest is the common" however you can conclude that the vest is the rare and the staff is the common by every other comment posted on this page:

MORTIFICATOR SYYTHRAK PROOF

Petrifin:

This one is little more tricky, mostly because the eye of petrifin must have been designed for some quest that never got implemented so it just didn't get a lot of talk. However, if you read all the comments on the link below you will discover that 10 comments report him dropping the bracer vs 4 comments reporting him dropping the eye. Here's the link:

PETRIFIN PROOF

Thanks.

I thought he only dropped both about 80% of the time. But anyway, I've killed him 3x and got 3 arrows... just thought I was super unlucky. Guess not~

Good work.

Changed Shardwing and Quid as per research, pending update.

I will look over this again later, but more research for Grazhak, Mortificator and Petrifin would be nice.

Regarding allakhazam comments, often people don't post unless they get something nice. That might skew the %s when try to base drop rates from replies.

Axe of the Slayers was definitely the rare. It was one of those items that stayed legendary for a while because it was so rare.
