Well, like everyone said. Its rare. Just keep at it. Took me about 4 days of camping. Maybe 6 hours a day. Good xp for my 55 bst. I got a whole lvl before I got it. Mind you I was grouped with a lvl 63 mage, and my cleric was outside of group healing. Mobs are pretty easy. BST was tanking. Trying to sell for 50k. No luck so far.
edit:
Couple weeks after I wrote this still no one buying it. I've lowered it to 28k. Cheapest FT item in bazaar, still no luck. Wish the would merge servers, so I could get a freaking customer. I also got another one to drop a few days after I got my first one.

Drop Rate

Okay, been here a LOT and have spent a lot of time hunting this mob for this drop.

A couple things:

This drop is probably more "uncommon" than rare, as I've been here for up to 8 hours clearing the room non-stop and have never seen the named spawn even once. I've also been here for 6-8 hours, constantly clearing the room and had the named spawn 2-3 times and it's never dropped this item.

Last night was the first time in a good 2-3 weeks of spending 4-8 hours on this mob that this item actually dropped.

ALL of the information on this mob is exact (location, spawn times, etc.) it's just a real "fluke" if you happen to get this item. Most of the time the named drops nothing. 20-30% of the time the named drops the defenders cloak and about 5% or less, it drops this item.

One thing not mentioned is the MR resistance of this mob and the others around, as well as the STR of the mobs... We're a caster heavy group that takes this room and pool room and find that if you don't Tash and/or malo this mob, 1 in 5 spells don't stick. I saw this guy EAT a 62 druid the other day as his root wouldn't stick and he kept getting doubled for 280hp. Was a quick fight and the druid never got the mob past 70% health.

The secret - Pull with slow (might not stick), cast Tash and Malo, Cripple, Root, Dot, send in the pets. Sit down and watch the fireworks.

I've killed hits mob many times, and while I agree this item is certainly rare, it has always dropped something. Never nothing. I'd say the real chance on the neck is more like 25% per mob spawn.
Solo'ed

I soloed this camp. I'm a 65 Wizard. I killed the 2 mobs on the right about 5 spawns and the Defender poped on the right-most spot.

They're on a 20-30 minute spawn and you have kill the roaming guard infront of the room before you kill these other guys.

The Day before this, I cleared the whole room and 3 hoarders poped right on top of me and almost killed me before I gated.

Also these guys have VERY small agro ranges. I could single pull any of those 4 mobs. I pulled with Atol's or root.
Got it!

Ok just to add my experience with this.

The directions listed below are perfect. You can set up just outside that room but there is ONE roamer so watch for him first. There are a total of FOUR mobs in the room, we used pacify to make sure we got one. They are all melee only mobs, hit for 140'ish, and not too many hp. Exp is so so here. We had to kill 5-6 rounds before Defender popped. After the defender popped, the other slots in the room filled with Hoarders who didn't drop anything, then the normal mobs popped again within a few minutes. The hoarders are like a bonus round of spawn really.

We also got the grobb hide mask from one of the hall guards. If you want to pull the areas around this room there is a pit straight down the hall if you are near the defender room. There are several rooms with 2-3 trolls that are pretty easy to pull. The deathguards harm touch though.

We were a 64 mage, 58 cleric, and 56 necro.

This item drops from the Defender. To get to him: Coming from the false wall fron Nadox, go straight down the hallway to the door,(static mob behind this door), open door go down stairs to the left, open another door to a hallway. (static mob paces this hallway). At end of the hallway make a left then a right. There is a rectangle room. There are three mobs in here, the one of the RIGHT SIDE is the Defenders spot.

yeah the hoarders and treasurer spawn here. They can pop in at any time with the death of one of the rooms occupants. They also have a short life span. Maybe 5 or so minutes before they despawn.
Bloodskulls?

I went walking though this zone today, I saw zero "Bloodskulls." only "Bloodguards" and alot of them.

Any information to narrow down this guy would be great.

Where does the Broken Skull Defender spawn pls.
Defender
# Jul 10 2003 at 2:36 AM Rating: Decent
NOT random off bloodskulls. Drops only off of the Broken Skull Defender. Drops that or a cloak. Bloodskull is his PH.

There are only 5 mobs that would rate the level for this item. So it would either be one of them, or be a quest item.

.... lvl 48 to obtain, wow wtf are they thinking anymore. I swear VI first it was FT booties they wer 100k+ now these, i mean FT items are beomcing more an more common, oh well... nice i guess /sigh
RE: why...
# Jun 10 2003 at 9:29 AM Rating: Default
48 to attain doesn't mean anything, nobody even knows what this drops off apparently. More than likely it's only listed as 48 because that is right around the average mob level in the zone, but very possible that this drops off some raid mob that you'd need 3 groups of 55+ to take down... /shrug
