I have gotten this twice in the same place. When you port into the Sanctum area, there is a corridor straight ahead. Down that corridor, your first right there is a mob with his back against a door that doesn't open. When I go down and fight that mob close to the door another mob agros through the door. Sometimes its the Bloodmage. I have also gotten an Blackened Acrylia Greatsword the same way when a Bloodpriest agroed.
I just bought this for my chantress a week ago and when I logged on today after the patch it now looks like a red robe =(. Am I glitched or can anyone confirm the change? Wouldn't you know I also just bought a helot skull helm last night to complete my full plate armor look too.
I, too, logged on to find my plate look replaced by a sickening pink,yellow, and blue robe. So I guess they patched this for some unknown reason. Maybe it was never meant to have a plate look in the first place.
As of the patch on 09 October 2003, this is now showing as that gaudy red robe you see newbie mages running around in. looks absolutely minging compared to its old plate look.
I have /petioned and /bugged this so lets hope i can get my fashion item back :)
killed the bloodmage in inner acrylia. pretty sure she spawned just outside the door to the area with the two vah shir Spiritist prisoners. This mob (and it's PHs wander)
A grimling bloodmage drops this. He is in the first large room after entering the grimling castle (that is the room with lots of little broken down buildings). He spawns up on the top of the curvy staircase (in front of the door looking thing, which is not a door at all but a pit trap).
pit trap? it looks like a drawbridge... the stairs end before "the door" because the drawbridge would span the gap. If you happen to walk off the stairs you fall a short distance to the floor beneath you. There is a lever to the left of the drawbridge, but upon clicking it nothing happened for me. So when you make reference to a pit trap, is that all you mean.. falling off the stairs? or something more?
I've been camping this robe for my enc's fashion closet...
EDIT: finally got my robe, sad to say the plate graphic is gone, although it does not look like a robe. It looks like the knotted satin shirt's graphic. I avg'd 12ph's per spawn, at 30 minutes between spawns thats about 6 hours between Bloodmage's.
EDIT: Yeah after having it for a bit now, everyone but me see's it as plate for some reason. Also if I use illusion Vah Shir ( and it only works with this peticular one ) and then drop it, viola I see a plate bp, but the rest of my armor (arms legs feet ) is leather.. /shrug
Interesting. I saw someone wearing this tonight, and was so shocked to see an enchanter wearing plate, I immediately asked what it was. I'm not sure why you're not seeing it as plate, but I certainly did on her.
The coolest part about this Robe is it looks like FS Plate! full arms/chest/bracer too. It dropped twice for my group, right in the room you are ported to when you click the statue
That is pretty sweet. Unfortunately, I've seen that happen with other robes. It's a graphics bug that will probably be fixed later, though I hope and wish it won't.
I got this tonight. It might not have the best stats but hey, the plate look is quite nice for a change of pace! Anyone know if there are any legs to go with it?
