NPC Spawn Issue: Golems in ST

[Detoxx]

Killed The Progenitor recently (after sleeper awakening) and he dropped a single spell. The golems should always drop a primal, even after the sleeper is awoken. On my phone atm, but Ive read a lot about it.

Will post evidence when home.

Thanks!

Several posts about golems dropping just a spell (Primal Avatar, which hasn't been added yet because it's a later era patch).

Primal's never were 100% guaranteed from golems.

I've also read a lot about it and remember it being like this in 1994.

killed The Final Arbiter on Friday ish and he too also only dropped 2 Velious spells

No weapon Priceless or Primal

2 day spawn time. Fairly high primal drop rate.. usually net at least 1 primal something per clear.

Sounds like they are not 100% drops but certainly still drop - we got a War Bow from MoTG

the primal income on this server is going to be incredibly low now that the warders are gone. I havnt really done much research on this, but it seems like its GG.

thought it was the ancient prismatic weapons that came along with the sleeper's revamp that dropped every time?

Easier to get, offset by the fact its now rare as hell.

ST post-sleeper is a ruined zone. Clearing the named every 2 days is like
a job, none of the clerics get rewarded (and theres no sense in giving extra
clerics keys, when the ONLY thing your getting from there is
primal/priceless)

So those clerics have to work really hard week after week, with little or no
reward

Totally agree.

All they did was a cheap stop-gap measure - adding the uber rare scale,
which gives you an ok piece of loot at the expense of your ST key and the
super rare scale.

And its not even like Broods are worth it for risk/reward

Sontalak (affectionatly known as satan on our server) is still no pushover
(and were an ntov capable guild) and all he drops is one ST key.. maybe a
few worthless spells every few weeks...

Klandikar drops one ST key and a poxy piece of armour fit for a level 10
twink

Zland has a chance at some decent loot /cheer but overall.. the effort v
reward just doesn't seem worth it

I think I was guilded with this guy on live. We did the post-awakening primal grind of the 3 named every few days at 5-8am.
