At the risk of losing a great camp spot, my bud and I, him 59 pally-me 60 chanty, have been camping the bloodguards in the two open areas on either side of the bridge. Last night we got 3 cowls in 4 hrs....his dr00d was there for potc, thank God, to loot the 3rd cowl. The week previous we got 2 cowls, 1 each on 2 successive nights. Don't know if we're ridiculously lucky, his dr00d's now wearing one, decent upgrade, and we're selling the others for 2k each, sold 2 so far....MT server. The other loot's not terrible, not great either, but we each get a little over 1 yel bub aa xp per hr clearing this area, me w/ DC'ed pet, so 4 and a half hrs is an aa pt each, and, usually, a cowl. GL to ya! ;-)
I play on the Terris Thule server. One dropped last night off a bruiser when I was working on getting my strange dark powder though that never seemed to drop. Gave it to a nice Druid friend who was helping me with the camp. I estimate we killed 25-35 bruisers, 1 cowl and no powder.
I was hunting the zone in from Nadox (Sunday, May 2nd) and had a cowl drop from a bloodguard. So I can confirm that they still drop, just not that often :)
I ahve hunted this zone area furiously for quite a while and i have not seen it drop once at all. It was suggested that it has become a rare drop or may drop from the overseer that spawns after you free the resistance miners. I cannot confirm that for sure though. It is merely a theory. I am trying to research more info on this and i will post as soon as i know more
We got one to drop for us last night (5/13/04). We were right near the Nadox zone line. We camped right at the fake wall, and were pulling from the two rooms to the left, and the room on the right, and down the hall. Dropped off of a Bloodgaurd. Also, after clearing those rooms, had The Mercenary pop, and got the Etched Zxrathil Pauldrons.
Spent some time in Torgiran today... got this item off the first Bruiser we killed (the wanderer right next to Dulak zone). Killed at least 25 more of them, and got nothing except keys and crappy weapons. Go figure. =p
just my own experience on trying to get one of these for my lvl 56 beastlord on Stromm:
spent every night for a week killing the bruisers near the dulak zone, didnt get one to drop. No idea how many I killed, must have been dozens. Ok xp for em, but i can get better xp other places.
got bored last night and decided to invis and head deeper in, got to the bridge with the Bloodguards. Started killing them, they were very tough, but on the 3rd kill a cowl dropped.
Could be pure chance, of course, but for me the bloodguards at the bridge were definitely a better idea than the bruisers at the zone in.
I've heard alot of ******** about the plane leather graffic but let me make 1 point.... OLD WORLD IKSAR MODELS! hehe i've been wearing a exe hood on my monk just for the graffic now i can finally upgrade and keep my vanity woot lol

So...because someone can't spell, they are a child? Sounds like you're the one that needs to grow up. I guess people are right about Morons playing EQ.
One of the last posts said that this was droped from 1 of the entrance mobs. Was that the entrance from the crypt or from the docks? Also what mob drops this?
yeah it has a graphic looks like a leather cap. i asked in the bazaar right after it came back up and someone came over and sowed me what it looked like. i have a wood elf druid and i know what helms look like on her UGLY is the only word for it. :( nice item though almsot worth me breaking my rule of not wearing graphic helms.
This dropped off one of the Zone In trolls and on one by the spawned boss mobs. First day druid got one, next day I was in group with my BST and got one for him. For now it's not level limited, very nice head piece for BST, let me tell you. I don't think it matters where you kill the mobs, the one that dropped the BST one was yellow to 44 BST, so not exactly sure what level it was, but posted here if that helps. These mines are very fun, imo to hunt with a single group 45-60 or so. If you're a higher level group there are mobs that are dark blue. As an enchanter, charming the trolls gives you a pet to kill the miners. Make sure you free the "resistance" miners, that will give you xp. Don't kill them, it's not worth it since they don't have anything good that drops.
dropped off one of the big ugly guys, i lost roll. :( was a rare drop, we killed a lot and only one dropped. nice monk cap. cant remember exact name of mob, but u will know the BIG ugly ones compared to the miners.
