I've spent alot of time in Hate recently and can say these are dropping pretty frequently. I'm going to go ahead and say it seems like every 5 drakes I kill I see 1.
I was nervous about this one... I got the port stone and went in to PoHate and buffed myself in there. I had Virt and Kei and then casted IVU on myself and went hunting for an Ashenbone drake. I soloed ONE drake and he droped the hide...so does this make me the luckiest SK on stromm?
The Hide drops of the Ashen BroodMaster The Two I got in the plane of hate within 3 hours both came from the Boordmaster. There were two of us and we eachlooted one for Multiquest as we know Sks have a pretty hard time witht this drop. The rate has increased.
yep drops off him as well because he is a named ashenbone drake, not a hatebone. Drop rate increased a little, still drops off any ashenbone.

I just hit Hate with my 70 sk and had a 75 enchanter friend with me..after about 30 mins, when i want to ashen broodmasters spawn point,an ashenbone drake was there...but i killed it, and it dropped the hide..i freaked..5 drakes is all it took
Ive been slaughtering these ashenbone drakes in PoH for 5 days now and i havent gotten one. My guildy goes in for 2 days and gets 3 whats with that? And my guildy tried to MQ it for me but the NPC wont take it... Something is screwed up here. Any advice? Gimme a tell

Best chance to get the hide is to camp the ashenbone broodmaster ph; its always a drake and its on the same repop timer as any other mobs. He pops very close to entrance to Maestro of Rancor building and can be pulled there without aggroing any other mobs, just get rid of the only roamer than once in a while gets close to the door.
Can this be MQed. Just wondering. One dropped the other night in hate while I was there getting the rog book for a buddy. So I picked it up just in case
'The object you desire is very difficult to fashion, nearly impossible, really. All I can offer to do is try. The real difficulty is the contents that give the sheath its power. They have to be of an almost equal evil. I think some kind of decrepit hide, a drake spine along with a bar of enchanted platinum should prove enough to make this item.
You turn in the Decrepit hide, the enchanted platinum bar, and the drake spine to him. I would assume it could be MQ'd can anyone confirm?
Cool, I looted one last night (after 20-30 drake kills) and was wondering if it can be MQ-ed. Of course now I need to find an SK who can actually be bothered to do their epic :).
Went to hate for Ranger SEoC, got two hides in 3 hours, so grats to my buddies in guild. Not sure if two ever dropped in same night before in the history of Norrath.

A friend of mine was hunting these in the Kunark days, when they were new. Spent 6 months as the top SK on his guild's list for this piece when it dropped... once a day, for a few hours... for six months..... Nothing.
He took a day off. Two dropped, back to back.
he quit EQ for a yearand a half the next day.
Until he decided to "try it again" and got me addicted.... I hate him.
I spent many hours and killed hundreds of drakes before the zone drop rates were changed as of today. I go up there today and within 10 drakes I get my hide. Seems the drop rates was indeed changed or maybe I just finally got lucky. Either way I'm happy. Good Luck on your epic and keep with it. It's bound to drop eventually
Hours have gone by. Many hours... This is a camp for the record books. No special tactics need, just pure determination (or luck, which is never the case for me.)
Friend of mine got it in 3 drakes and None after I really starting to HATE that whole epic quest stuff ..... about 150 drakes down for me and then they say they *upped * the drop rate ,yeah right Dream on SoE
[b][/b] Wow! This seems to be quite a rare drop. I lucked out & got mine for my epic on my 1st trip to Hate & on the 3rd or 4th Ashenbone we killed. Just hope I have the same stroke of good luck through my quest for Innoruk's Curse! Thanks to all in guild who helped me obtain this piece!

Fianlly got it to drop last night off of an Ashenbone Drake. Was in house that Mistress of Scorn spawns in by cathedral. One also dropped 2 days ago while we were there for another group over by the angled houses where the Deathrot Night is. Drop rate just seems to be down in the 1% range. Good luck.
Been hunting in Hate since the revamp and I have never seen one of these drop. We are now hunting them more now for an SK friend who is trying for his epic. Few patches ago, the said they ADJUSTED the drop rate on this and some other drops. Have killed ashenbones and hatebones since then and still no hides have dropped. We have gotten at least 4 bones to drop for the Marsinger quest, but no dice. Good luck with this drop, you will need it.
bah, as of last night my drake kill count is over 200, still never even seen a hide. I have way better than my epic, but just want to complete it for a trophy.

Got this off of a common drake yesterday. So it still drops. I had been camping for approx 60 hours, not for this, but this is still the first one i'd seen.
In those 60 hours, got two eyes of Inny, 5 SEoC, 3 Esscense of Vampyr, 2 Earth Staffs for mage, and just one of these hides.
Yep, drops off drakes. I killed a ton before one dropped though. Mine happened to drop off of the drake ph of the named drake near the steps of the maestro.
At least i have a little hope that this drop still exists. i've been to hate more than 20 times, and killed 175 drakes to date (since i started counting on the 3rd or 4th trip) still no hide.
saw someone MQing it the other day for 400k though. no idea if it ever sold.
