There are different versions of the same box

These are used in the Eron's Jewelry quest and requires you to make 3 Shadow boxes that each use a Gem Covered box.

They drop in Loping Plains, Dragonscale Hills and Hills of Shade. However, they are lore, so you can either loot one from each zone OR make a shadowbox one at a time which uses up the Gem Covered Box and allows you to re-loot another one from the same zone.

As I understand it, they each identify as something different.

If you're doing this for the artisan aug these days

Just as an updated perspective - if you're doing Eron's as the pre-req for the Artisan's Aug like I am (in 2020) - don't waste your time, camping all the shaman or caster-type orcs all over Loping like I did. Once I focused on just spawning the Bloodmoon Warlock named (and the mobs surrounding him), I got my gem covered box much faster. Good luck--so far this was the longest roadblock for me in "Eron's Jewelry."

I'm going to post something negative about waiting for the spawn, so that as soon as I press send, I'll have to say, Nevermind, I just got it.....

drops of a normal Bloodmoon warlock as well
Common?

I've cleared all the orcs going on 8th time and no box has dropped. The named warlock has not popped, and being this mob does drop it every time, I can see why you might say it's common, but if it doesn't pop, I have not been able to get it to drop off any of the others listed in 8 clears. So I'm not sure common is correct.

Yeah, it definitely is a rare drop from the regular orcs, but as you said is a ?guaranteed? drop from the named warlock so we're kind of at an impasse as to what to list the rarity as.

Since the guaranteed dropper himself could be considered as a rare spawn I think it makes some sense to up the listed rarity on this particular item, even if the drop rate from that mob in particular is common.

Good luck!
Warlock is correct

This link suggests that the one that drops off a warlock is a different box, however I can confirm that after looting from a warlock, I could not loot one off the shaman.

If you notice, the other box drops off "a Bloodmoon warlock" when this box drops off a named "Bloodmoon Warlock". You looted this box off the "a Bloodmoon warlock" and then killed a "a Bloodmoon shaman" and you had a conflicting box lore item on the corpse?

I saw this drop from a named orc, Bloodmoon Warlock, at the northern orc camp. (The one south of stables.) Thanks to Moradin for letting me have it.
