#REDACTED,
Posted:Apr 12 2004 at 11:23 AM, Rating: Sub-Default, (Expand Post) one dropped last night.. My rogue now has it.. It not something I would sell at this point.
I have been camping this item for about 10 hours now on and off. I haven't seen one drop yet. I did get a Talisman of the Spiritseer on the 2nd day, but nothing since. I am camping just across the river on the way to Qinimi and getting a Kyv Heartpiercer spawn about once every 2 hours.
Most worn effects are now broken down into their components. A lot of assumptions why. Some think it's so recommended levels work in conjunction with the worn effect (+10 atk being lower if you're below the rec level on this,) some thing for some stacking issues.
Who knows. I just know in a few months we'll start hearing "What's Flowing Thought??" like it never existed.
I think they changed it for searchability in the bazaar primarily. Now you can actually see that this is 1 regen/10 attack and Belt of the Great Turtle is 2 regen/30 attack. Before you couldn't do that. So, no, not nerfed, just threw ANY roleplaying out the door with the names like 'Aura of Courage' and went to stats.
Um there both attack 10, with only the regen difering between them. As for the reason, I don't care anymore. It is great that it is listed the way it is. Makes it so you can quicly search for + (Haste, Attack, Mana Regen, HP regen, Endurance and Damage shield ) and also cut back n the Anoying What % haste is On ****. What is the efect of ****.
I was heading back from Abysmal Sea after spending some time making Lemonade and Chocolate Milk. So, I walk up to Magus and get attacked by a stonemite. Since it was light blue to my 62 SK, I decided to politely ask it to stop with a Harm Touch and a gentle push. It dropped this and some Raw Pale Nihilite Flesh.
So, it definitely is still ingame, and definitely still random. Just keep killing, and you'll eventually get one. Go fishing, kill a few mobs, work on forrage. This is one of the few things you can get that are this good without needing a group or a raid force.
As far as the item itself, there are few droppable items that can compare to it. Even Guardians Token, which is +9 to every stat does not compare with this item. If you get it, and can use it, hang onto it. AS far as pricing. Tough to get an accurate price on things, on Karana there are rarely any of these for sale, and when there are, they sell fast for about 70k.
I have a Guardian's Token and (as a rogue) I would throw it to the fire (and probably come back for it later, when the fire is out) for one of these. On Xev, the pricing is definitely similar: 80-90k, ten minutes, gone.
Although it hardly matters to this post, GT doesn't add to CHA. *shrug*
Good luck hunting!

I agree the drop rate on the Ft1 necklace and the Shaled neck was definetly nerfed, when god came out I was farming natimbi everyday, and i always walked away with at least 1 ft1 necklace, now after the patch few days ago, I havent seen a ft1 necklace..and as there used to be 5+ for sale in bazaar, there is now none.
Had one drop last night of of a fleshripper.. it is definatly a random mob and anything can drop it in the zone. It is however VERY RARE drop. I spend hours and hours soloing in Natimbi and only had this one drop for me. I sold it today on Xegondy server for 50k. Don't let anyone tell you its not worth the money. Lots of people don't even have GoD and cant even try to get it.
Take any LDoN camp Magus to Nedaria, then that Magus will port you to Natimbi.
Alternately, I think you can take a boat through the Abysmal Sea (again from Nedaria), but you wouldn't want to unless you actually had business in teh Abysmal Sea. Very few people enjoy waiting for/riding on boats.
When was this? I'm beginning to think this has been removed from the loot tables. Of course, I personally have never seen a non-named drop any name dloot but people seem to say it happens.
5 Vimidons down now, countless Crustie PHs and ghosts, and a ton of turtles. Nothing.
Quite simply not for sale, either, on EMarr. I'm dangling an Ornate Stone Battle Hammer as trade bait, or the cash equivalent, and not a bite yet.
Personally I think the demand for this speaks to the terrible itemization for the neck slot.
I agree the loot table is hosed in Natimbi at least (haven't spent much time in the other zones).
I've killed 10+ names so far and none of them have dropped anything near the significance of this item OR the FT neck (which I got the very next day, while playing for an hour before work). BTW, the FT neck came off of a regular mob as well.
Monday feb 23rd, 2004 (got this item from a typical turtle, not the higher level "named").
Tuesday feb 24th, 2004 (Got the FT neck from a typical samurai type mob up on the tower near zone in).
Just keep killing everything is my advice. I had given up on Vimidon and just started hoping for random drops. It worked out well.
Until they fix the loot table, not even sure I would bother with the named mobs.
The drop rate on this item has been nerfed. If you have one hold on to it. I have been farming with my druid for days now and have only seen 1 drop. I used to get 2 or 3 a day, now it is rare as heck.
dropped for me within a half hour of killing anything that moved in the lil trench below the camp, i see it as lil repayment for all my random deaths in teh zone from these hard hitting buggers, sold it for 30k in about 10 secs. been working on my second for 6 hours, very random drop.
Had this drop off of the guys with long white hair. Cant remember the name but they put me in mind of samuri. So it must just be a random drop from any mob.
had it drop this morning of a nameless critter would say random off any mob in zone <<<warning>>> have spent 4 days 6+ hours killing nonstop in this zone and have only seen things like this drop off random mobs 4 or 5 times...so if you think your gonna show up and get one of these in a few hours your dreaming
