Miscellaneous: Dartain the Lost

[Daldaen]

Well my last bug post found comments (albeit few) that stated he was dropping 2 items in each case. Didn't see anything suggesting 1 or 0 drops. Only comments with 2 drops were found.

See here: http://www.project1999.com/forums/sh...hlight=Dartain

Problem with him is due to his location in the Hole and behind a locked door there is very limited info on him.

[dustysr06]

can confirm hes at least not broken on red

last 3 spawns have been 0, 0, and 1 drop

There is very little info on him, that is correct- but what little info we do have supports the fact that he dropped two items, there is no evidence to suggest he should ever drop nothing- that i can find (see daldaen's post)

A very tough (now) level 55+ 'boss' mob buried behind a locked door in the basement of an 'expansion' zone, on a 36 hour respawn, has a slight chance to drop nothing? that surely cannot be an accurate assumption either

None of the assumptions used to change dartain were very accurate, iirc it was like 2 posts by unknown ppl saying he was pretty mr or something.

he also has 3 items on his loot table

surely one of them should be 'super common' , I think the shield should be seen pretty frequently instead of nothing

Need some proof on these 0 loot on raid or "group required" epic mobs

Haven't ever seen anything suggesting that

[Erati]

bump the 0 loot drop makes no sense nor had any evidence to suggest he ever had an empty corpse

as Mylez said its a 36 hr named spawn with special attributes ( very high RM) behind a locked door in one of the hardest to reach areas of an expansion dungeon

theres no way I would ever believe he would drop nothing for all the lucky adventurers who chance the opportunity to not only take him on but slay him

I cant think of any mobs in the game that are similar in difficulty in both arriving and succeeding in the encounter yet have a chance to yield no rewards

Yes I have farmed him here n there so the 0 loot drop % affects me personally however that's not why I am posting. I just feel that part of his recent update had no supporting evidence and should not have been included

[dustysr06]

I don't have a problem with his difficulty- now or then, thats whatever

But the change made to slightly have a chance to drop nothing is completely unwarranted. If there was even a slight chance, there would be at least ONE post pointing to that... there isnt, in fact its the contrary- every post i've found indicates he actually dropped two items

The chance to drop nothing was included for whatever reason because they changed him to potentially drop 2 items "sometimes"

Please fix!

bump for justice, remove this mob's chance to drop nothing for classic's sake!

also, WOW he is a PITA when dual-wielding books.... LMAO! fun stuff [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]
