Crushed Coral (Armor Gem) - Need feedback on drop rates

Ele · #1 11-26-2014, 02:52 PM

I have only ever seen 1 Crushed Coral drop in the entire time of beta testing.

[Mon Mar 24 11:39:43 2014] Frosticube has been slain by Kindadar!
[Mon Mar 24 11:39:43 2014] You gain party experience!!
[Mon Mar 24 11:40:03 2014] You are too far away to loot that corpse.
[Mon Mar 24 11:40:11 2014] --You have looted a Crushed Coral.--

Has anyone else had luck with these dropping? I'm wondering if it might be missing from the loot tables of the armor gem dropping NPCs.

My group had one drop two nights ago farming wyverns near the SS entrance in CS.

340 wyverns, 48 bulthars, not a single crushed coral.

wyverns don't drop crushed coral, at least in the db currently.

Reviewing the magelo data, these npcs are dropping it at the same % as the rest of the gems on their table.

We were also pulling bunthars and sirens, so that's possibly where it could have come from. I know we killed over 100 wyverns and came out with about 5 gems total, and that seems to be a lower drop rate than on classic live back in the day. Wizards who used to quad kite the wyverns were always bragging about how rich they got from selling the gems.

Thank you for all you do nilbog, in case you haven't been told today [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]
