I got tired of killing the small handful of bazu so I tried the murkglider stalkers. It worked. I got mine off "a murkglider stalker" in the north central part of the zone where about 8 of them spawn. This was on Mangler durring DoN
Dropped from A battle-scarred bazu on east side of NC. Dropped on the Fourth cycle of killing everything on the list in zone. A murkglider stalker and all Bazu aside from the NW ones. 8-10-2020 on TLP Coirnav in TSS era
Northern area off of a murkglider stalker at 1405, 125.

So I started this tonight, and in about 2-3 hours I got one to drop.
At first I just pulled huge trains of 50-70 mobs at a time and leveled them with my 100 monk. After about 900 mobs I was starting to get irritated. I compared the comments on this page to another I found, that showed only 4 mobs dropping this item:
Bazu's (including bazu named, i.e stonethrower) Murkglider (stalkers seem to be only ones, which stands to reason cause i killed close to 500 regular ones and no drop)
And someone mentioned they got one off a dragorn but I'm gonna go ahead and just call BS on that, just a gut feeling.
Anyway, I started hitting just the Bazu mobs and stalkers. About 15-20 bazu's later one dropped on a battle-scarred bazu. I would estimate the drop rate is about 1% from bazu's, based on my own experiences.
Closing thoughts...
Don't waste your time swarming. Just hit bazu's and the stalkers by northern valley. Good luck.
Finally dropped today off a battle-scarred bazu at -998, +1696, 312. Up on one of the cliff walls of the valley in the south. Started to get the inkling that it is more common off the bazu's based on the other posts. Did done the named and no luck, killed easily 300+ murks and nothing though. Hope this helps someone.
My Wife and I worked on my guantlets for almost a month. 4-8 hours a day, every day. That drop sucks... There's no reason why the thing should be so rare. They just did it to road-block it seems.
I pulled every murkglider in the zone with my sk. usualy about 10 at a time due to distance agro dropping. I had to clear the entire zone 7 times to get one to drop. It did drop by Wyrmsong on the 7th clear.
I had this drop twice for me while soloing. Bad news for bards though, they were both off a bazu in Nobles Causeway, so it'd be a bugger to try to farm those for epic, since they only spawn one at a time. I got 2 in probably 20 hours worth of soloing in that spot total.
