NPC Spawn Issue: Aviak Harrier on wrong loot table

[Sinestria]

Currently dropping black pearls, flawless aquamarines, peridots, and emeralds. Shouldn't be dropping anything more valuable than ivory or flame agates

[Sarius]

Avocet also dropping this stuff and should not be.

It's possible that the drop % should be lowered, but from what I see, they should drop them.

Disregarding the non classic items, you can look at:

And here's a couple quotes from classic:

2000:
Aviaks is INSANE money for pickpocketing, the gems and the possibility to get a black pearl is GREAT.

Well, Notwen, hold onto your pants cuz it only gets better from there, .... I have stolen three black pearls from aviak avocets

Also could google "aviak" "black pearl", for further research.

I remember black pearls dropping off avocets. First time i had ever seen them actually drop from a mob.

[Sarius]

Maybe it is the pick pocket % then. At 40% max skill I was getting a high value gem every other mob

Only Avocets dropped black pearls, I don't think the info in that link is right. I leveled 2 characters from 20-29 on aviaks, and never saw or heard of anything but avocets dropping black pearls.
