from what i remember all dragons dropped lvl 55+ spell and if I remember right they would drop at least 2 on every kill + a chance at some other drops. This is from memory, but I remember duoing dragons to get the spells to sell. Kael drakel arena had a chance to drop 55+ spells with maybe < 10% chance

Vandy has created a google doc for helping to track which npcs should drop which spells. Posting this here for more attention, and updating OP with it.

Velious Spells Looking for people to help participate in research for Velious Spell drops. I have a google docs spreadsheet with the information I have been collecting that anyone can view. There is a comments section and if you are logged in you can real time chat on the side. People can be added as contributors to the project or post information here to be updated.

Velious Spell Sheet

1. We need to get an accurate list of which NPCs dropped which spells.
-i.e I find evidence Composition of Ervaj only dropping from Lodizal and Woushi using wayback machine Alla , Casterrealm, Graffe

2. We need to know how many spells each Raid Boss could drop and what % chance to drop that group of spells
-i.e Lodizal would drop 2 spells, had a chance to drop a 3rd spell and even less chance to drop a 4th spell. ( 2x100%, 1x50%, 1x20% ? )

3. What spells were changed and how through the Velious timeline. There is a 2nd sheet for this. The first sheet will deal with spells that were in at Velious Launch.


Thank You

Logs from Mac server. Always dropped 4 spells. I had more logs, but many of them I would just ignore the spells since they dropped so often (12hr respawn x 4 spells etc.). But I never remember a kill where he did NOT drop 4 spells. All 60 velious spells should be on his loot table.

[Vandy]

I have found several instances on Alla from posts in 2001 where he drops a different amount of spells. 2 ususlly each time and sometimes 3 or 4. I'm don't think it was 100% on all 4 in that time frame. EQMac may have been different.

Loot UBER - Mob puss By: Anonymous
Posted @ Wed, Feb 7th 7:43 PM 2001 Score: Default[2.00]
Lodizal is not exactly tough. One well balanced 55+ group (incl. at least 1 Warrior using Defensive Discipline, 1 Cleric, 1 Slower + 3 other classes, preferably high damage dealers) can kill the turtle pretty easy. Lodizal double hits for max. 300 and has about 30k HPs. Godlike damage but without all the gimicks (AE Fear, AE Damage, Complete Healing) it one of the best mobs in the game in regards of risk/reward ratio.

It usually drops one or two shell pieces for the shield quest, the map for the mask quest, one or two items out of the other loot (Boots, Ring, Club, Belt) and 2-4 level 59/60 Velious spells.

Information on Lodizal By: Anonymous

LvL: 60
Dmg: Doubles 300
Spawns just south of the gnolls (located near Frozen Tower) on a large patch of glacier. One well built group of 55+ could take him down. His loots are very rewarding.

Shell (quest for Lodizal Shield)
Piece of Map (Quest of Eyepatch of Plunder)
Boots (AC, some stats, and right-click effect AC)
Ring (Stats and right-click enduring breath)
Belt (Stats and automatic fatigue regen)
59/60 Spells (Usually 2 will drop)

To the guy who said it jumped him for 1400 and bashed for 900. He was obviously not speaking of Lodizal in Ice Clad Ocean but Kelorek`Dar in Cobalt Scar. Kelorek`Dar is a sea dragon. There are no otters in Ice Clad Ocea, only Cobalt Scar ;p

Good luck ;p

New Translocates and Gates For Sale:
Terblyn Zelbus (gnomish portal fragment merchant) in the Temple of Solusek Ro has a few new spells for sale.

• Great Divide Gate (lvl 34) - 11pp

Also, should Terblyn Zebus have been alive all this time? I couldn't find anything definitive that he was around, but I'll add a flag to him if someone finds out; all he does prior to these spells is sell gems.

Over the past few days, I've applied spell drops to the Velious zones. The only zone left on my list is westwastes.

This page states in January 2001, wizard teleport spells were added to vendors. What spells and what vendors?
http://web.archive.org/web/200107110...p?Article=3171

Should all translocate spells require the appropriate dragon tooth? I assume they do.

I do have a few questions about how many spells particular npcs could drop:

Seneschal Aldikar
Chamberlain Krystorf
Grizznot
Yelinak - assuming up to 4?
growthplane minibosses (rumbleroot,ail,treah,etc)

The spell drops took a lot of research, but should be mostly in game next beta patch.
