NPC Spawn Issue: Magi P'Tasa Staff of Elementary Mastery Earth drop rate

[gwideon]

Gnomish Greetings!

I found another web page but there is no date on it that I see. But some things in the page indicate it should be in era.

Neh'Ashiir in City of Mist - raid needed.
Capt. Rottgrime in The Overthere - Small raid (2-3 groups) needed.
Does NOT mention it dropping off of forsaken revenants

Magi P'tasa in Plane of Hate
Staff of Elemental Mastery: Earth
Magi is lvl 55, class unknown. He has 32,000 HP and hits for a max of 240. He is a rare spawn.

Here's some info from Matt Waggoner's site:
Magi, like all mini bosses, is a semi-rare spawn with a placeholder on a 72 hour timer +/- 12 hours (60-84 hour spawn). He spawns in 10 different spots:
2 in rev house
2 on top floor in maestro's house
2 with ashenbone drakes on first floor
2 in inny's old lair
2 on second floor of second floor church.
He is NOT always up after patches... but he has a very good chance of being up because he has about a 30% chance of spawning in 10 spots, but sometimes the spots could all be filled with phs (has happened before). He CAN be slowed, malosini'd and debuffed. He can be taken out with one full group if you are good and have a 60 shaman.

Drop rates are as follows:
30% chance of dropping the staff
30% chance of dropping apothic robe
40% chance of dropping apothic sleeves, pants, or crown
50% chance of dropping apothic bracer, gloves, or boots
(he is known to drop up to 3 armor pieces at a time)

Although a group can do this mob, a raid would probably be best.

He also mentions Matt Waggoner's size which I have seen in in-era posts on this. Here he mentions 30% which is not far from the 25% I was deriving from other posts. The spawn rate also matches the P99 rate which also indicates it should be in era.
