Woudl like to add that YES all of the rare Kunark spells NOW DROP IN VELIOUS, have seen torpor, Winds of Gelid, and many other drop from Harla Dar, Klnadicar, Zlandicar, so finally Sony did something right on spells.

Discussion on ChardokB revamp where they mention that Velious dragons now drop Kunark spells: http://www.graffe.com/forums/showthr...rB-spell-drops

Loot tables all over seem to have been changed, we got flaming sword of xuzl of sontalak the other day. Other kunark spells seem to be dropping in velious too.

Patch notes saying they increased the drop rate on kunark spells because the chance to get them is slimmer with new content. http://www.waringmcmarrin.com/?page_id=54

- Increased the drop rate on some Kunark spells to coincide with the
narrowing of the creatures carrying those spells as the game evolves.

This part in particular is telling. It's not "increased number of mobs that drop kunark spells" it's "increased drop rate to coincide with (less raid mobs dying that drop kunark spells)". So, couple months into velious, kunark raid mobs have spell drops increased. Until that point velious mobs don't drop kunark spells.

From the other link:

and another post mentioning Esorpa dropping high end Kunark spells,

That is late 2001. Maybe it should only be Esorpa since she's on RingofScale?

More input desired. I don't want Kunark spells dropping if they shouldn't.
