It took me 2216 kills to get my robe - in that time I saw

1 BP
2 Swords
6 Legs
and 142 sapphires

in talking with others, I would guess 4000 is in the camp of "somewhat unlucky".

Just confirming it drops only off the named Guardians as well

Thank you for the info.

I'm finding them easiest to kill quickly on my druid, but once I'm kos all the annoying green trash drakes and crap body aggro, so now I'm trying to calculate how many guardians I can kill from ally before I have to fix faction to avoid annoying trash aggro, and if that number is worth it or if I should go back to my shaman. The robe is for shaman (have a guise it's gonna be epic). This is the most EQ camp ever haha.

I'm not gonna waste time to dig it up because I don't really care but someone put together a comprehensive thread with data of drops for the rare skyshrine items and recommendations on the right mobs to kill. I could have sworn the conclusion was killing Fe'Dhars but apologies if that is mis-info, maybe they were after a different item. Either way for the people that care look up that thread.

I think you're thinking of wurm lord shawl, which is also stupidly rare and does drop from the fedhars.

I supercubed on my enchanter for like a year straight at fedhars and never saw a shawl.

Either i was extremely lucky on live back when velious released or drop rate is wrong. We used to farm full sets of guardian gear back on live and had many robes and armor drop. The only thing we never saw was the weapons from up in the tower/library. Because, well back then everything was unknown and scary and very hard so we didnt go that far without a raid.

Just my 2 cents

I literally quit playing everquest forever because I couldn't get a full set to drop for my main. Like, I was pretty tired of EQ by velious, but was the last straw.

That's because each piece of the guardian armor set is supposed to have an equal chance to drop, but on p99 they made the robe unclassically super rare like every other sought after item

If they did that to the robe they also did it do the BP legs and sword. I've gotten probably 30 of every other piece at this point, but only 3 bps and 5 legs and 2 swords. Still no robe.

I really don't mind the robe being so rare btw. I think it's a good change to make on an emu server where people are generally much more clued into everything compared to live classic. It doesn't have good stats, literally the only thing desirable about it is that it's a rare all\all robe. Making it less rare would just diminish it's value.

OP, SHOW US YOUR GUARDIAN ROBE!!!

Workin on it. There have been a bevy of johnny come lately's farming it since i made this thread, suppose I should have seen that coming.

Although I will say this thing is so stupid rare it kind of overrides my normal sense of elf competition. Like I wouldn't even be mad if somebody else gets one who's only been at it for a day. At least somebody got one.

Exactly. You get more mad at the camp itself than your fellow elves, and you all kind of become allies against the camp.
