Unless the loot tables are messed up on TLP, there is a new mob that will drop this, although I would guess it would be considered ultra rare. Just looted one off of a Pickclaw Slayspell.
I can confirm this. Just looted one of a Pickclaw Slayspell, on TLP Vulak server.
The spawn points of the PH's and thus the ones that drop the Madallion are listed here under Picklaw Destroyers.:

This item is a must-have for all of my spell-casting characters (whom all happen to be below 44).
-The AC isn't dreadful (6)
-The INT/WIS is not shabby for a neck item (+5/+5)
-MPII is a great focus effect
There's no recommended level!
I have looted them off of Paluk, Lord Pickclaw, and Unak. Lord Pickclaw and Unak seem to have them more commonly.
Also sells occasionally in bazaar for 300-500 platinum.

This is dropped off of the 3 mobs in Runneye: Lord Pickclaw, Battlewizard Unak, and Battlelord Paluk. All of these spawn at the 10 spots that the Pickclaw Destroyers do(In other words the destroyers are PH, or placeholders for the named mobs)
The wizard is a strong undercon so be careful if you have low hitpoints, take him out fast. The battlelord is easy, but he has such a good reputation, nearby pickclaws will most likely join in the fight. And last but not least, the easiest of the three, Lord Pickclaw.
One more thing, the Pickclaw Zekspeakers are healers and do a damn good job pissin you off when you're fighting other pickclaws. So, good luck to you, and while you are in Runneye, might as well kill the Evil Eye Prisoners for some Polished Bone crap.
I would not suggest hunting in Runneye till 20+.

As of today this still drops...I was fooling around and decided to head over to Runneye to see if the medallion would drop and all three named were up...Dropped off Lord Picklaw.
I was in Runnyeye last night and couldn't find these "named" mobs anywhere on track...I went to all levels (I believe)...I guess it doesnt matter since you guys have had success with other "regular" spawns. Any info would be great =)
As of yesterday this still drops, I ran my warrior down to runnyeye to get one for my new druid. I went to the spot where Battlewizard Unak usually spawns and killed PH and waited. While waiting I noticed "Battlewizard Unak begins to cast a spell" but there was no mob in front of me. I ran around a bit and finally found him, killed him and looted it.
So to answer your question, Yes, the nameds do still show up and this does still drop =)

This item is great I have to admit, but when some people buy it, they are buying it for the MPII effect. I just want to point out another VERY easy to get MPII item.
Fine Antique Ring
MAGIC ITEM LORE ITEM NO DROP
AC: 3
HP: +30 Mana: +20
Focus Effect: Mana Preservation II
This quest is very very easy and can be done at almost any lvl. The quest starts in PoK and is linked below.

-On a side note, the quest person is by the Kaladim/Kelethin portal stones inside one of the buildings.
Hope this helps, I sure loved it :)

The antique ring is great for mana effect but there is a secret behind the Black Alloy Medallion. Yes you could spend hours upon hours fighting giants for money. Or you can get up bright and early and camp the battlemaster and wizzy and loot as many of these things as you want. Twink your low level characters withem or sell them for 400pp a pop in Bazaar. The choice is yours!!
P.S. Mana and HP are good, but Wisdom and Intellagence are great!

I have the Fine Antique Ring already. I'm after this because I'm a Mana intensive Necro.
2 items with MP2 on them will not stack, you will not save twice as much mana. If you meant you are after the INT on it, get one of the polished quartz necklaces made with LDoN jewelcrafting.
This is mainly for the effect, like the first guy said.

Was surprised to have this drop off a Picklaw Slayspell in Runnyeye. While the item is an anticipated drop off higher level mobs in this zone, it was interesting to find it on a mob that's around level 18.

It drops off the casters (slayspell, zekespeaker) as well as Lord Picklaw, Battlelord Paluk, Battlewizard Unak and even the occasional destroyer. Still, it's not exactly common. I've spent a fair amount of time soloing down there as an over-44 necro to get horse-money, but the most I've seen it drop, personally, is twice in a 2 hour farming spree (which is about 3 spawn cycles of the named and destroyers). I've looted and sold maybe 10 of them over a couple weeks.
Mine doesn't have it, what's the difference. should i petition or something. Thanks...

Do you have a Black Alloy Medallion or a Black Iron Medallion? Iron only has +3 WIS and INT, and no effect.
I traded up when I could afford to.
Also, some people have reported some kind of UI bug making the effect not show. Does it say "You medallion glows with a pale light" when you cast?

That price is low now that it's got MPII on it - these things go in the bazaar now for 1k+ - atleast on Xev - it's a great peice of gear though, well worth buying, my chanter wouldn't give her's up for the world!
So if you find one for under 1K, snatch that sucker up - you got a steal.

On Rodcet nife, they can often be found for 500, and Almost always are available for 700 or less. Make sure to PC it on your server, before you buy.
The different server economies are wildly variable.

I caught a guy selling 5 of these in the Bazaar at 100pp each. I almost couldn't believe it. Yes they were the ALLOY. Bought them all, kept 2 and resold the others for 300pp each.
I still think 500pp is too much, even though this is one of the best mid-level neckpieces in the game.

I was about to buy one in the bazaar for 1k, but as I was on my way to the trader, I checked angain and someone had it for 500pp. I would have paid 1k, but didn't.

Which is better for a level 30 Troll Shaman: this or my trusty Chrys Talisman?
Chrys Talisman: 5ac, 3wis, 20mana, Affliction Haste II
BA Medallion: 6ac, 5wis, 5int, Mana Preservation II

Overall, the BAM, no question. Affliction Haste is theoretically better when you need to get a ROOT off faster between hits to run away, but that's a much rarer situation than all the rest of the casting you'll be doing.
The BAM hands down - with the Talisman you're only getting 20 mana - when that's used up, you're done.
With the BAM, you've effectively increased your mana pool by 10% - at 20th level that translated into an extra 70 point nuke if I tried to just nuke something to death - it's probobly more like 100-200 by 30th.

Talisman gives you the same mana as BAM, 3 wis + 20 mana = 50 mana, same as BAM. But, BAM effect is far more useful then talisman.
BAM is better.
BAM is better.
Really depends on how you play your character. For my druid, I like the chrysoberly talisman. Of course, my preferred tactic right now is the snare/root/dot/sit method, so I get faster roots and dots, so more time to med, and less chance of being cuaght when root breaks, as it recasts faster. Since Shamen have a lot of dots, this might be true for you as well, if you solo a lot.
In a group, the mana preservation is much more important, as you'll be spending a lot of time buffing melees.

I must agree with you... as a 40 Shaman who Solo's quite a bit. The Talisman and the Kobold hide boots (Extended Affliction II) make it more worth my while... although I am looking for a Mana Pres that will fit another slot. =)

The Black Alloy Medallion, because of the wis stat. As you go up in levels, the extra wis gives you more mana, with the other, you just get the one drop of mana. Stick with the medallion.

OK, this is what I have noticed how the BAM drops in RE. I have farmed this zone for hours upon hours and have killed enough goblins for several lifetimes!
The only 3 Mobs that have dropped the BAM for me are Lord Pickclaw, Battlewizard Unak, and Pickclaw Slayspells... I have never seen the drop off the Battlelord and I have killed him 100+ times easy. Seen it three times off Slayspells and I must say that is a very rare drop. Pre Focus Effect they dropped like candy off the Battlewiz and Lord.... now camping there post focus the drop rate has been really nerfed.
Just what I have noticed.

Also got this from Lord Pickclaw last week so obviouly any of these 3 main named drop it.

I went there at level 44 hoping to get a BAM for my Cleric twink. Went straight for Unak's room, and agroed a few things on te way. Killed 2 slayspells, 2 foechoppers, and some other random crap. Killed Unak, and got the BAM on my first kill.

I went down to the bottom of Runnyeye in hopes of getting a BAM at lvl 35-ish but the zone was camped by a couple of high lvls. I ran around killing stuff just for the fun of it. Finally got a chance at Battlelord but he didn't drop the BAM .. dropped a BABS instead.
At anyrate he never popped again in a few hours so on the way it I killed some stuff. If you look at EQ Atlas , 4th lvl map. there is a diamond shaped room on the lower part of the map. There was a caster mob in there (don't remember his name) but you can imagine my surprise when there was a BAM on him instead of a piece of armour.
So if you in search of a BAM in Runnyeye then just kill all the stuff on the 4th floor and don't wait for Named mob.

That was probably a Slayspell. The BAM used to be a ultra-rare drop off them. From the sound of it it still is and you got lucky. I had heard after the focus patch the drop rate had been nerfed on the BAM. It rocks now even more than before. My druid was wearing one before the patch and due to the mana pres 2 he still wears it at 45. No clue when he will dump it but he won't let it go for less than 1k now. Sold some prepatch for 750. Here's to wishing I'd waited to sell them.

I spent a few weeks in East Karana farming pelts and silks, and would run to Rivervale to bank, going thru Runnyeye. My 40 Ranger would run into Runneye, check tracking, and if any of the 3 named goblins were up I'd go take them down. I must have killed BattleLord Paluk, BattleWizard Unak, and Lord Pickclaw a couple of dozen times each over that last month or so (between the big May and June patches).
The BAM dropped only once, off Lord Pickclaw. It's the only thing I really care about in the zone, as it sells for 1500pp on the FV server, and they're not lore. One of the sweetest mid-level items in the game IMHO, and one of the most expensive (pre-lvl 40 that is). I must have gotten several of each armor piece, most common being the Coif (lore, sadly), then the BA Tunic, then the rest of the stuff. The BABS and BALS, jeez, I can't even begin to guess how many of those I left rotting (I play late at night, usually the only person in zone). The BAM is by far the rarest drop here as far as BA armor and weapons go, and certainly the best caster item to come off a 30-35 lvl mob that I've seen.

hehe, 40th Ranger you say?
You should take those BABS, BALS, and BA Coifs to the goblin merchants in zone .. use sneak and sell them instead of letting them rot. You can make around 100p for the coifs and 5-9 (I forget) for the swords. Then dump the cash in the bank that is in zone too ;)

Dropped Battlewizard Unak today he put up a good fight. Easy to drop his health to 40% but then he will heal constantly. Had a 35th lvl Cleric and a 38th lvl Warrior. Pretty much walked to him and dropped him. Nothing else will aggro except Evil Eye, but he can be easily avioded if you are careful. First time we killed him he dropped the Black Alloy Medallion. If you go with a Cleric and a Warrior get his health to 40% and have the Cleric wrath him, he won't be able to recover after the wrath. Warrior was in full crafted armor with a Centi LS and a Lammy with a FBSS.

Seems since the UI patches that the BA Medallion is a lot rarer than before. It used to drop off Battlewizard Unak almost every time you killed him, but not since this last patch series - I've whacked Unak a bunch of times and seen no BAM's at all.
Anyone else see this?
Also, for those who want to try him, Unak is about level 34-35 and can chain-nuke for 180-250 a shot. Good MR/CR/FR helps, but be careful if you're under 50.
The other mob that used to drop the BAM a few times was Battlelord Paluk, who is also a mid-30's mob, though he's pure warrior. Haven't seen a BAM off him either since the UI patch series.

I've actually had three drop in the last two days, one off the battle wiz and two off of slayspells. Before that it did seem that they dropped a lot less.
I have a ToV which has Mana Preservation I on it. If I get a BAM will Mana Preservation II stack with Mana Preservation I for spells below Lvl 20?
11 posts
The effects don't stack, but with the mana conservation II, it will cover all 44 and below.

The Black Alloy Medallion drops off of Lord Pickclaw, I think he is level 32-33 and an under con. He spawns in diferent rooms on the bottum level(4). Don't go alone if your are not an expert at crowd control.

I have gotten alloy off of a foechopper, although it was a fairly crappy piece (shoulders), and most of the time you get nothing, with occasional blackened iron. So at least one piece of alloy is possible from foechoppers.
