All the quotes about drop rate appear to be after the removal.
The one guy who talks about spending 24 hours after nerf to find it not dropping there said he was told 1 in 8 was the worst rate he heard before removal.
I still don’t believe that this one item was unique compared to the rest of the 100s of classic named mobs in vanilla EQ. Every other classic named mob from Dvinn to Magi Rokyl that has a common/rare drop table varies between a 80/20 to a 60/40 ratio, with 75/25 being a common value accepted to be the likely value if you had large enough data samples to remove RNG skewing present in the small data samples available in posts or magelo data.
There really aren’t any examples of Uber rare drops in vanilla EQ. That was a Kunark Innovation.
I think finding anything definitive on a drop from a 35 mob removed 6 months into EQ beyond the common/rare indicator is unlikely. Which is why I think it following the pattern of every other named mob from classic makes sense.
