Seems to me if he was ever dropping the Fire staff during this period of time it would have been mentioned in the Alla/ZAM comments, yet every post within that 2001-2003 window says he only ever dropped Apothic gear and the Earth staff. One post goes as far as to say you'll know if he has the Earth staff because he'll be wielding it. Now, is it possible he also dropped the Fire staff as well? Anything's possible when you're trying to cobble together 15 year old information on a game that has been altered so frequently/severely that it's barely recognizable from one year to the next anymore. Still, it seems highly unlikely that NO ONE would mention the Fire staff dropping from him given how important the Earth staff was. Surely someone during that era would have been burned (pun intended) by a Fire staff drop off P'Tasa and gone full blast on Alla about it.
None of this speaks to the drop rate change which absolutely came in during the Luclin era and was addressed at length on the official forums. But again, the Alla/ZAM comments section is decidedly consistent on the matter during that 2001-2003 window being talked about here. Apothic gear (usually two pieces it seems) and an Earth staff (if he's wielding a staff at all). That's all anyone appears to have ever gotten off him back then.
