Quest Issue: Dirt of Underfoot

[finalgrunt]

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:

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.

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 [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

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.

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?
