they still drop, the problem is that it's a less than 1% chance per magelo's tracking: https://eq.magelo.com/item/11538/Forest-Loop

Didn't know they were that rare - thanks for the info.
Spent 2 more levels in Dread and 2 more in Frontier this past weekend with no luck. I'll keep trying until the giants all gray out on me. Then it's time to move on to something else. At least the loot's been decent at the forts.

Anyone know if they're still dropping at the Giant Fort in Warslik's Woods? Just spent 4 levels there and not one Loop.

I have killed tons of these, I'm on vulak now and I have killed around 100 just got one to drop off a Greenwood. Not sure that I have ever looted one before. I have seen them drop in groups in fm, but never won roll.
Good luck they still drop just not often.

On Fippy: I don't farm the earrings specifially, but I do use the WW giants for exp from 21-24ish. I've noticed the loot is very random. Last night i got 2 earrings in about 4 hours with a mix of low grade gems and runes. A few nights ago, i got several leg choppers and one axe, time before that was hammers of flattening. Over all, i seem to get a couple loot items of a random nature during the night providing a nice $$ bump on a new (to me) server.

at burning woods fort killed about 50 giantas including 2 nameds, no earrings to be seen of course
Well, Well, just got one of these from the giant fort in Warslik's Wood, didn't even realize I got it, because well I was a tad displeasured at not finding any jade shards, so I tore apart the whole camp in a fit of Dwarven angst, I submitted a screenshot of it also :). Was at the vendor selling stuff and I clicked on it and the vendor said 274p and I was like :O !!!! Looked at stats and said oh yeah Im wearing this. Almost sold it to the vendor without even looking... sad sad. Nice earring though.

i bought a forest loop about a year ago for 50pp.....just sold it to a vendor for 285pp....not a bad investment if ya can get em...
I spent several levels with my magician in Dreadlands, killing all the common mobs including giants, without ever finding a Forest Loop. In fact, I had pretty much forgotten that it was a possible drop. Then this morning, I killed a MG steep, and there was this earring - a Forest Loop. Great! Was killing a chicken when a MG craig blindsided me. I finished the cockatiel, then I killed the giant, and - lo and behold! - my second-ever Forest Loop. Never saw one, then got two back-to-back. :) I passed them on to my druid, since my mage really couldn't use them. But at least I know they still drop and can be found. It's just that, sometimes, you have to wait a long time.

I have been reading and reading about these late 20's early 30's just romping around and whumping on stuff. Maybe i don't know the trick, but at 35, a bard of my stature has to single pull to the OT zone and medding after each one. what am I missing. I tried to run the Giant camp in Warslik's but got bored after the xp stopped and in three solo levels there I saw no FLoop!

Oh my good god! At 35 you should be soloing the ENTIRE giant fort in Frontier Mountains, or soloing 3-4 hill giants in Rathe Mountains. To find out what you're doing wrong, head over to eqdiva.com and read up on charm/swarm kiting.
I've been swarm kiting giants in Frontier Mountains from level 28, I can safely pull 10-15 giants although 4-5 is ideal, and I've seen two Forest Loops so far.

And.....if he's NOT a bard?
Also, notice this post was last year. A year's worth of mudflation makes mobs much easier.

At your level, you should be at the FM camp, not the Warsliks one. Alternately, and with a good group, you could fight in DL, although if you do that, hunt the roamers near KC N wall, not the fort, as you get fewer adds,and at 35, a couple adds could mess you up.

One just dropped from a forest giant ancient in BW. Been here off and on for 2 levels. This is the first one I have seen.

Well my druid has been there for a week now and not only have I not found a loop but only 1 leg-chopper has dropped, it's just taking forever to get a loop!
I looted one at Dreadlands from a giant, and i sold it to a NPC Merchant at the Bazaar for 260pp.
