Confirmed off "a cral ligi worker," in the hidden section. I would assume it's a very rare drop off of any Cral Ligi within the hidden section of Twilight Sea.
Dropped from a cral ligi warder back in the hidden area on 7/27/08. Unsure of specifically where the mob spawned, as I had been rounding up massive trains and PBAEing it all dead.
I got one 8/24/03 from a Craig Ligi Guardian. I have been farming Twilight for over a week now and have killed hundreds of aliens in the hidden area. While a lot of decent trinket items have dropped, this is easily the nicest item I have seen there. Needless to say, I had to look at it several times to make sure I wasn't hallucinating.
I have hunted the different aliens a ton in the hidden area and have never seen ANY container. In fact my main is currently camped in the hidden area killing underbulks.
With all the different quest items that drop there and those hunting them this item has never come to light until now.
It either is bogus (I wouldn't be surprised) or more rare than almost any drop in game.
I can't say that I won't have a problem if it is real. It will make more people go hunt there so I can buy the quest pieces they may have drop :)
In fact I am wondering two things. Either VI added it to make people want to hunt in an area that is almost ALWAYS vacant.(Now if they would just do the same for Mons Letalis I could just bazaar up all the pieces)
Or the guy that posted this was hoping to get more peeps hunting up there for quest items so he wouldn't have to.
If anyone else gets one let us know how long it took. Would help.
I havent gone looking for this box yet, but am about to.
Just thought Id comment on what you said about VI luring people into places. Id agree. I think the whole reason why Luclin XP is better is because they wanted to lure people up there.
I'm assuming, just offhand, that this is supposed to be from a cral ligi warder. But then again, knowing Verant's penchant for naming mobs in the Twilight Sea quest area (TS/SD/DSP/ML) it could be a "werder," or a herder, or ...
Regardless, I can say with some certainly that this is rare beyond the bounds of comprehension. Most, if not all, of the TS crap-quest armor has been solved at this point, the result of a sheerly incomprehensible amount of farming. The fact that this has remained unknown until now ... indicates that its going to be an equally long time before we see another one. Too bad too, would've been nice to have an accessible 100% WR bag that isn't Tink.
This is just a lore Bag of the Tinkerer, which can be purchased from the same vendor who sells T Boots. The price is around 5800pp, I think. There's no reason that this should cost any more then a Tink Bag.
Who cares about selling it, its another bag you can get for free to keep on your characters. Tink bags are a pain in the *** to get and this is an easier option for those who don't have the faction to go to sol to buy a tinker.
