(2)Prog/MOTG/FA should drop Primal weapons more often than current;

I am confused about this. Right now, on p99, the named golems have a 100% chance of dropping a primal weapon, each time, pre sleeper waking. They have a 50% chance post sleeper waking.

According to the research posted in this thread, they should not drop primal at 100%, pre or post sleeper.

This suggests 20%.

But to Fitten, just because the zone is easier doesn't mean we, as the guild just starting to enter it, want it that way. Sure, its easier to get primal from motg/prog now..but I for one would way rather have it back the way it was before. No warders will cut down primal a ton, since golems seem to drop primal bout 1/5 kills.

This suggests 100%.

That said, we cleared all the Sentries from the zone-in to the area around the MToG and the Prog, including all the spawns inside the Prog room (basically everything from zone-in to the doors leading to the Library). We then COH'd down and took out the FA. For the effort:

MToG = 1 Primal Warsword
Prog = 1 Primal Brawlstick
FA = 1 Primal Hammer

No numbers, but possible 0% per raid, so <100%.

The "good" thing about the 4th warder being killed is that ST becomes easier to raid - no mobs see invis, the 3 named golems drop primal (although you can still go through motg, prog, and final arb and get 0 drops)...and that's it.

Rare chance? <100%

However, those 3 named golems (master of the guard, the proginator (or whatever), and the final arbitor) have a rare chance of dropping primal. The regular golems continue to drop priceless.

Not very common. <100%.

The Golems can drop Primal without the Sleeper awakened. Its not very common, but we got a few Primal 2H handers and few 1H handers from Proj and FA before Sleeper was freed. The only change to the named Golems after the Sleeper is that they can no longer See Invis, their spawn time is decreased from several days to 2 days, and Prismatic Dragonscales are added to the drop tables.

Primal weapon %s of lootdrop:

(3)primal drop rate should be more even across weapon types.

A few posts from Croco/others regarding current drop % showing huge disparity and lack of 1hs/1hb/1hp in that order I believe

A number of quality posts from Dolalin as always.

Adjusting the % of primal drops on the lootdrop itself is a next step. The weapons likely need to have equal chances of dropping post-Sleeper.
