I also found this, timeframe is well into Velious but it says cliff golems should be dropping multiple spells, along with this in other comments I got the feeling that Emperor Chottal should drop multiple spells, but no direct statement of it.

Cliff Golems can currently drop two spells at once on P1999. It's very rare, but it does happen from time to time. You're more likely to kill 20 without seeing a spell at all, though. Note that the way the post you linked is worded, it could also mean that the group simply received a few spells during the course of their killing, as opposed to off a single monster.

I've seen lower-level spells drop off trash in Charasis, but not 55+ spells.

Yeah I guess that link does imply that they were dropped during Kunark, but the idea of them being able to just permanently turn into the Vib Hammer/Gaunts is kinda funny.

I'm assuming that's what was broken, you click ancient gaunts as get wrong item id resulting in vibrating hammer which has a click to change to vibrating gaunts, so they fucked up in making the ancient shissar hammer if that's even what it was supposed to transmute to

100 guardian wurms so 1.2k per wurm? Sounds gud.

I got two malo and one torpor from them. Never a pox of bertox.

Died 3 times from Talendor because he sucks when he comes over the hill.

Guardians were one of fun challenges. Kite mob around with SK until slow landed. Then pray. And luck was sometimes good. Sometimes would play the kite/summon game letting pets beat him tapping every chance while shm was doing canni dance.

Good times.

Bump.

Found a few more instances that suggest level 51+ mobs should be dropping 55-57 (maybe 58/59) spells in Kunark. Mobs like Black Reavers and certain trash in Sebilis/Chardok are currently not dropping this level of spells, they only drop 51-54 range spells.

As for the Reavers:

Allakhazam - Black Reaver

May 2001

Today my guild got CotH off of one, didnt think they dropped spells but they do now i guess

January 2001

55+ spells. These guys are a good source of level 55+ spells but don't drop them nearly as frequent as a lvl 60 mob would.

Allakhazam - Neh'Ashiir

January 2001

neh'ashiir like other lvl 51+ kunark mobs drops lvl 55+ spells sometimes but not frequent enough to camp her specifically for spells.

Speaking more to the general rule that 51+ can drop 55-59, I just think the lower the mob the lower the chance of the high level spells.

EQCaster's Realm - Call of the Hero (55)

January 2001

FOUND IT, By Kaylan shadowveil (1/28/2001)

I just got this spell off of a bottomless devourer in Sky Fire that conned blue at 59.

FABULOUS SPELL, By Ielen (1/28/2001)

I got this spell of a Sarnak mob in Chardok. It consumes a pearl everytime you cast on a targeted member who is far away. Best used to replace outgoing members in a group, where the leader will gate to invite incoming member and then both of them will be summoned.

Caster's Realm - Forlorn Deeds (57)

January 2001

GOT THIS IN SKYFIRE, By Calli (1/28/2001)

Off a Mature Chromadraco.

EQCaster's Realm - Enlightenment (57)

January 2001

DROPPED IN CHARDOK, By Sybiene (1/28/2001)

This spell dropped in Chardok once. We were fighting near zone out and pulling up to the first couple bridges. Don't recall what had it exactly.

DROPPED IN SKYFIRE, By Stepy (1/28/2001)

Looted it off a Mature Chromadrac.

EQCaster's Realm - Frost (57)

DROP INFO, By Lirad (1/28/2001)

Got it in Skyfire as well, off a level 52 lava walker.

WHERE I GOT IT, By Mixelplix (1/28/2001)

Found it on a Drake in Skyfire.

I'm sure I can find more. But the tl;dr is that trash mobs that are in Kunark and summon (51+) should most all drop spells that are 55-57. The lower they are the lower likelihood they drop higher spells is my guess but they should still occasionally drop 55s with reasonable frequency.

I have killed... probably 300-400 black reavers. Never seen anything but 51-54s on them on P99.

Are you sure it wasn't from a Ghost spawn after the reaver chain?

Yknow I had the same thought after I posted and talked to the guy about it..it DID drop off the ghost, not the reaver, Touche!
