Is that why so many people are racing towards items that are nerfed over lvl 50?

If you think mage words are dropping too rarely, sounds like the makings of a good bug post to me.

The selectively classic crowd will just say unless we can provide explicit patch note evidence that mage words should be X rate, that no change should be made because otherwise it would make it easier for mages. And then they'll go show you a forum post from some random dude from sometime in 1999 saying he knows what the drop rate is and it's X low frequency, so that's proof of what the drop rate should be.

Nailed it.
No one knows what drop rate were and are today.
But i can tell you we are freaking elites eq veterans killings efficiently with violence 24/7 on this server.
We are also at least double if not triple the number of people destroying all these monsters than during classic launch.

Now i will not say tht words drop less here since they were not even in the game at lunch. But the drop rate is far far far far lower than it should ever have been once the words were out.

If the staff wanted to help, they would have spoken already. This thread will soon be if not already the most viewed thread since green section opened.

I am pretty sure they can data mine the current drop rate. They will have all the evidence that what mages are ask for is insane. Imagine when many mage gestbto 24+, we are not even there yet. There wont be more of those target to kill, they are already getting destroyed as soons as they spawn.

There's very little reason to suppose they ever changed from the rates given on Magelo.

(After GZ increased them, of course)

Don't let me interrupt though.

I think you could go right to Magelo and ask Telin to check that the drop rates match, and he might oblige.

Dolalin already posted a patch note containing an increase in mage words dropping in some other bug report. By the time that patch rolls around the pet spells will already be added to the vendors . ie lost cause. I just haven't found it yet mainly because there is no point and I'm sure he already knows it.

That's the thing. Most people are giving up the ability to be the first lvl 50 to be the 5th manastone.
