These rings for not drop on any server now. Not even on SH. I was on MM when these where found on mobs in TT. I manged to get 4 of these 2 for me and 2 for my druid. These are great rings for all classes.
I have noticed it has been a couple months since the last post, and I am wondering if anyone has seen this mob... or the drop again. I am interested in getting one of these on my server, but it seems like (for now) I am out of luck. Please post any replies from your server if it is up or not there. Thanks
Unfortunately, they stopped the mobs from spawning on all servers except legends.. it was intended as a legends only mob and drop for that matter. They somehow slipped into the regular servers for a bit and luckily, most everyone that wanted one in my guild, got one :P
Looks like theyve been removed from all servers with the possible exception of stormhammer. I seem to remember these first appearing just after the legends server was introduced. I guess they really should never have been in the regular game. More slip ups like this one please, oh and the ressurection timer one as well. I liked the idea of getting a res a week or so after you die.
Kleepto, you should see it. On our server (Ayonae Ro) this camp is taken by up to like 25 people all just sitting there killing these skeletons over and over, non-stop 24hrs. a day. To say "Camp it instead of just logging an alt there" is so ignorant. At the point where you have 25 people there fighting the mob, most of them have two comps and multiple chars on the waiting list ANYHOW, so what difference is it going to make if a little one wants on the list. Thankfully the most current listholders are saying that if you aren't damaging the mobs significantly or noticably aiding those who are, you're off the list.
I went and fought these sebilisians the other night. Started at midnight hoping the group would be slim, and it was comparatively: 15 people. So I was 16th in line. Took me til 9am til my ring dropped. Fortunately enough I was in the exp group so it wasn't a total pain, cause at least I got like 5 blue of xp. Longest dry spell we went without a ring was 1.5hrs, but my friend (58 monk) was there after I logged trying for a second ring and said one hadn't dropped in over 4.5hrs.
Insane. I hope they didn't remove these with this morning's patch (June 5th, 02). If not, you KNOW where I'll be this Friday and Saturday.
It Was a nightmare , huh ? you put no effort in at all and say its a nightmare, try actually camping it and not just logging an alt while others do the work, Its no wonder i play on Rallos where that kinda stuff is not tolerated
Yeah, uh....you're saying I should have just sat there for 3 hours doing nothing instead playing an alt while waiting for my number to come up? The work doesn't start till you actually get in the group.
On Mith Marr this camp is occupied 24/7 and you need to find out who is holding the "list" to get a spot on it. I ran there got on the list camped and then played an alt. I was number 8 and this was around 7pm. When my number came up I logged back in and got my ring by 2am. It was a nightmare, but still was worth it in the end.
I'm toying w/ the idea of going back for another, but it will need to be on a weekend, heh. Go get one before the next patch =)
Camped those with a guild group on Saturday around 8h and got 12 Rings. Been there with 2 necro, pally, monk, war, druid all 60. got around 20 tells from other people and guild who wanted the camp so be prepared for a long wait to join a group there. We all got 2 Rings, even the warrior said that he would replace his ac 6 hp 65 rings cause one of those Bands give him +130 hp and not only 65 from the other rings...
btw: the info on top is not correct cause the Band also drops from every mob you can pull. Our Necros were a bit upset cause "an undead sebilisian lich" was no undead and not slowable by them :-O
yeah this ring put out 80 hp on a 57 halfling warrior, fully better than the 65/6 rings, and no drop=big bonus on Rallos Zek. Felt kinda sorry rolling against the casters tho >=)
We got 3 rings to drop...but none of them came from the named mobs. Cultist Geralissan dropped the sword and shield both times, and Cultist Ral'Arloshanis gave us a staff and insignia twice also. Wasn't very hard, group was 52pal, 53dru, 55cler, 56dru, 58enc, and 59rang. only had one death, and that was when the ranger pulled 3 mobs (we killed all 3 after he died). Definitely fun, and much easier than said. I (paladin) successfully landed Holy Might about 60% of the time, Force about 70%, and Flame of Light 100%. This is on all mobs, including the named Cultists, so they definitely arent as MR as people said.

Posted:Jun 01 2002 at 6:35 PM, Rating: Sub-Default, (Expand Post) I spent about 5 hours camping here with a group of guildies and other people in the zone who wanted the ring, we literally got over 25. If you kill fast they often drop 2 or even 3 times in a row. No foolin'!
i got 2 of these beauties for my HUM wizard. Took me 2 hours to get my guildies OTM to TT. So after 5 grueling hours and 5 rings later, Lo and behold the last ring for our enchanter dropped! he was barely awake the poor guy. One more ravenant spawned so we decided to kill one last time and Guess what? yep another ring right after! and I won the roll. So about 7 rings in a lil less than 6 hours. The last two rings took 2 hours to drop though. Great Exp too by the way. Our party was 60 enchanter, 60 cleric, 59 monk, 57 wizard (me) 59 shaman and 60 necro. Cheers
Verant knows it's dropping, a few guildies had wet feet because they for some reason thought they might get banned for looting it (considering it a exploit) so we petition the GM and after the GM's all confered and talked, it was declared acceptable to loot.
So considering all the discussion between GM's and what nots. Verant is truely deaf if they don't know these are dropping. Besides, this could all be part of the week of love, drop rates and tables increasing.
could be luck, but Kael, was dropping a whole lot more armour tuesday than normal.
Did a group to hunt these we got 7 total, with my in game wife and I both getting one.
Now with 2 of these I can can give to a twink/friend or sell my dizok beguildlung, 4 int ring, ac 6 hp 65 ring, and shadel bandit ring, my baseline int, with c3 is now over 170 and I can get tradeskill boosted to over 200 int.
Only other ring staying in my inventory will be my knoted turtlebone EB ring off of lodi.
For rings I am basicly set for a long time now
The only rings I could see even asking for/Getting to replace these are Charred Bone Ring, Ring of the Shissar, Coldain Hero's Insignia Ring, Reaper's Ring, Ring of Dain Frostreaver IV, and the Ring of the Sky
/the non quest rings listed above I would be no where near the top ofthe list for for months, I am very happy to have these.
All I can say is camp now before the drop rate is nerfed.
I'm very happy I got my 2 rings, but I'm still confused that this camp could be anything but a bug/mistake on VI's part. A ring of this calibre is comparable to the Pitted Iron Ring (but better since it can be worn by anyone) and can be obtained for a simple few hours of work (compared to a huge long quest for the Iron Ring...)... So now everyone ditches any of their other rings they've put hard work into obtaining and this thing becomes the baseline above which everything else is judged. Is that good or bad? It's great for those of us who get the rings - we've at least achieved the new baseline. But in keeping this thing around VI's basically nuking a bunch of their other content who's value has suddenly taken a plunge off the deepend - and they've seriously reduced the pool of items we can obtain to improve our characters from this point forward. They also increase the power of all characters across the board at the high-end game (since you're a fool now if you don't have this item or better) - soooo they have to increase the power of the mobs all over again by that little bit more to keep the game challenging (if not now then soon after the next couple iterations of upgrades of this sort)... there's a slippery slope here and I get the feeling that we're all headed down it full tilt.
Hahahahah! I got my 2nd solo! That's right... solo!
I parked my pet in the lake so it wouldn't aggro when I pulled. I pulled with dark but usually they resist the first time and I also get more then one mob after me. I make them chase me far away from the camp and then I FD.
When the mobs walk back to their little camp I wait for the last one standing above me and I stand up and dark it and then I fear kite it!
This is where I use my gloves of control to summon my pet from the lake while the mob is helplessly being fear kited.

This web site is in no way affiliated to sony online, I doubt the proggies have better things to do than sift through item databases to see whats dropping or not. I posted here to let people know this still dropped so they could have a chance to grab one before it most likely does get nerfed ********
Umm - they have stated in the past that they read the boards out there - why wouldn't they read here to see what is dropping too much or to see if the player base is 'exploiting' one of their bugs?
Well as of this afternoon ring still drops (/e begins to shine his new ring) although we got 4 in about 1.5 or 2 hours and then no more dropped. We left after a total of 9 hours.
anyone know if only a certain amount drop per day or anything like that ?
I don't know if you were with me today or not when I did these mobs, but the same thing happened to me :p. Got 4 rings real early on (2 from the named, 2 from regular mobs) and then nothing for about 6-7 more hours.
