mages with epics tend to be absolute trash, get a DA ear and ring. do something productive with your mage.

In my Raid mob research report the first post has a link to drop tables, which you can click the individual drops to read through.

As you can see Inny 2.0 still dropped epic pieces, I saw folks make posts about Staff dropped but it was not exactly conclusive. It does reason if he still dropped ranger epics that mage epics should still be available.

Your best bet to get more epics which can't be locked out by a farm crew is to find solid evidence that Inny 2.0 could still drop Staff.

Of course researching drop rate (and spawn rate) of Magi P`Tasa is still money in the bank.

OP have you tried getting good? As much as we all love welfare pixels maybe you'd enjoy it more if you earned it.

Smoofers logs out every draft day, that’ll show em!

My understanding is that change occurred out of era similar to how they added epic drops off other mobs for other epics like dragon scales dropping in skyfire.

Inny revamp out of era you say? Or Magi P'Tasa? Pretty sure there is conclusive evidence of Hate minis dropping epics in era

There is a much simpler solution: add a single common spawn point.

On Live, literally everyone (in any classic source I've ever seen) ported it up to hate, raided it, and went back down. Maybe a group hung out after a raid or something, but they ported out too. No one stayed, for a simple reason: respawn.

On p99 there is a safe spot with no respawn. That safe spot may or may not have existed on live (I've never seen classic evidence that it did) ... but even if it did, no one knew about it, and all gameplay in that zone revolved around not knowing.

If it's a question of adding one (maybe) unclassic mob and having the entire server actually play hate the way '99 players did ... vs. keeping the safe spot (that maybe didn't even exist in the original game) ... how can anyone argue that one mob isn't the more classic option.

Bring back the Hate of '99!

Two things are certain in life,

1. Taxes
2. Loramin beating the this isn't classic drum

While we consider these Hate changes, I would also advocate for any guild who zones into Fear to immediately wipe on the break in because that's how it was on classic. Also everyone needs to bind outside the portal.

There are still other safe spots even if you add a single mob behind the pillar.

In this case we would be referring to Inny himself dropping the epic pieces in addition to the minis. I believe that change was separate from the Hate 2.0 revamp and occurred out of era when they added additional epic drops for a variety of epic bottlenecks like white dragon scales for bard for example.

[WarpathEQ]

Also the fact that they added additional opportunities for drops on certain epic bottlenecks at any point in the timeline is a data point that suggests that the Earth staff was in fact an epic bottleneck back in the classic era, despite a few unsupported claims otherwise.

Epic mage pet can wreck Tserrina. You get mage epic to get tserrina robe easily. It's called everquest.
