Does this really drop off of Xi Vius' ? I have killed them for hours and hours and no such luck
Got one!

Killed the TS with my 65 druid yesterday, and he dropped the earring.... my 40 warr twink (Camped in ME) is VERY happy!

Seems to be a rare drop. I killed the TS maybe 5 or 6 times, and this is the first earring that I've seen. Hard camp to hold though, due to the timing on pop..

Got this off A Thought Stealer in ME while camping for shards. Looted with my 57 druid, not a bad earring. 20 ac is nice, wish mine had that kind of ac...
WOOT

I was playing this morning before work like I normaly do and this big fraking sucker bounding over the top of the hill near the Akheva zone. Pulled him and with my 61 Sk, 55 Shammier and wifes 59 Rogue took him down with ease. It dropped the earring which my Shammie now sports! Didnt resist slow but fight took long enough where I had to slow him 2 times=p

Good luck all!
Does This Still Drop?

Bit of a vent here. Ive spent nearly 3 levels of my druids life here. Killed the thought horror 15 times (no joke). 9 rings, 6 gloves and a few spells. . . no earring.

In this time Ive camped the various named goranga to twink my warrior and killed roughly 150 Xi Vius. No earring.

Can anyone confirm for me that this thing still drops? I'm tired of camping the silly worm and waking up in the middle of the night to kill its place holder.

<<EDIT>> Finally dropped the earring on 18th kill. Druid is a very happy camper.

#REDACTED, Posted: May 30 2003 at 12:39 PM, Rating: Sub-Default, (Expand Post) Same freakin post 22 times in a row. Here is my 2 cp. If I'm in the group that helped killed the mob and want to roll on it I will. Even if I don't need it.
#REDACTED, Posted: Aug 20 2003 at 1:15 PM, Rating: Sub-Default, (Expand Post) hmm a no drop item ... and you would roll on it even if you cant use it... mighty nice of you
#REDACTED, Posted: Jun 09 2003 at 11:10 AM, Rating: Sub-Default, (Expand Post) If its a pickup group, I couldn't agree more. If its a guild group, you use whatever method of looting that your guild tells you to use.
Unbelievable...

This badboy earring actually dropped for our group when we camped the 1st Coteries when you hang a right in from the DSP zoneline. Now I've camped Coteries about 10 times for hours, and only seen this once... I rolled a pitiful "6" and felt more than a pang of envy when the BeastLord got it. "uhhmmm....Congrats!" grumble gumble...:)

So I'll be hanging around a bit more in ME until I can find this again. So basically it just isn't a Xi drop piece. I've seen Grodan's Idol drop a number of times, lots of the shrouded boots and occasional other loot, but this is NICE NICE NICE.

Just want to make sure you got this earring off of the coteries not the similarly named etheral mist earring?

does drop off Xi's
# Dec 12 2002 at 2:59 PM Rating: Decent
Although it was over a month of searching one finally did drop off the Xi's of course it is an uncommon item so the wait was expected. As for the arguement of rolling...this just goes to show how greedy we can be. Rolling has always been an obvious way of resolving who gets what on an item that can bennefit all. This earring is an upgade to almost everyone. Lets face it earrings with stats like this are hard to come by. I would say that those argueing against rolling are doing it for the simple fact that they are too wrapped up in themselves. Not the kind of people that I would like to find myself in a group with.
The constant argument.
# Nov 11 2002 at 10:06 PM Rating: Default
Are we still arguing who should roll? I am a cleric, its all/all and clearly benefits most classes, why is it an issue? All roll.

# Aug 09 2004 at 12:32 AM Rating: Decent
think it should just be rolled on by all wis and int caster =p corse my monk would love to take it from a greedy druid
amazing what some peeps will argue about
# Oct 14 2002 at 7:50 AM Rating: Decent
*shrug* I'll throw in my two cents. It's all/all, I'd say everyone who helped obtain it deserves a chance at it.

RE: amazing what some peeps will argue about
# Apr 16 2003 at 12:57 PM Rating: Decent
I have to disagree. For a monk, warrior or rogue this is a soso earring. For a spell caster of any type this is an AMAZING drop. It would be a waste to see it go to a pure melee
RE: amazing what some peeps will argue about
# Apr 22 2003 at 12:46 PM Rating: Decent
Wrong again! 20ac on an earring is possibly better for them than the 8 wis/int and 50 mana for you. ALL should roll
at first
# Sep 29 2002 at 8:18 PM Rating: Default
when this item first came out and it was posted as common it was because it was common but VI nerfed the drop rate to very rare (0.5 percent chance )or there abouts from my experiance (i always lost rolls on it too =(

anyways that is why it was listed as common. now its increadably rare

i have only seen 3 in past 6 months
Rarity?
# Sep 28 2002 at 12:09 AM Rating: Default
For sure I know this isnt common thats for sure! I killed 10 of those guys that drop it yesterday and not even one good item from him. I was wondering if anyone out there knew just how many of these guys I have to kill before I might be able to get this earring? Thank you if you can help.

idiot. when was the last time you used the submit correction button? you do realize that this is a site ran primarily off of customer submitted information?
#REDACTED, Posted: Aug 26 2002 at 2:32 PM, Rating: Sub-Default, (Expand Post) Someone have any current drop data on this? If it's not too much trouble, could you email to robitusinz@yahoo.com? Thanks.

Its a cleric item since I play a cleric!!

(sound familiar? read some of the other posts)

In the end, Verant decides what class will use any particular item. In this case ALL/ALL tied in with stats that would benefit any class makes it clear to me that ALL Classes & ALL Races should get a shot at winning this item if it drops.

Minus the + to mana this would make a very good item in anyone's inventory. The AC is awesome, the WIS and INT is awesome for even the dumbest of melee characters. WIS and INT help with getting non weapon skills up and how fast they increase. Great for casters of all sorts too. I think that is why VI made it an ALL/ALL item. It is beneficial to every class in some way shape or form. The added Mana makes it nice for casters, but everyone can benefit from these stats in one way or another. Let's not argue who should get a shot at it or not. There is method behind the madness (sometimes) 8-)
RE: earring
# Jun 04 2002 at 12:59 AM Rating: Default
I'm gonna have to agree with Davdq with that. the ac makes it any tank item, the wisdom and int make it a caster item too, for the classes to get the most usage out of it would be ranger,paladin,cleric,beastlord,shadow knight, or bard. they would use all the stats.
#REDACTED, Posted: Nov 05 2002 at 3:48 AM, Rating: Sub-Default, (Expand Post) AC is incredibly important to ALL classes, not just to tanks. For example, shamans may get beat on when slowing; enchanters may get beat on when doing crowd control.
#REDACTED, Posted: Aug 20 2002 at 3:44 AM, Rating: Sub-Default, (Expand Post) I think in that case they made it all/all because of the rarity and the no drop, an earring like that cant rot !
RE: earring
# Aug 24 2002 at 2:15 PM Rating: Decent
>"Its clear at the base it is for class using mana tho, would be a waste if a rogue or monk was winning this tho."


Did you miss the 20 ac on this earring. Thats 20 ac on an earring. Let me say again 20 ac... and you think its a waste on monk or rogue....

Wis/Int isnt all that hard to get to 250. (though, with this earring... 20ac(+stats) and it'll let you swap out some of your other wis/int gear for more ac or saves or mana or hp or whatever) But this item is certainly not wasted on any class and it is just as important to a warrior as it is to a wizard (though rangers would probably benefit the most from this;P)
#REDACTED, Posted: Sep 09 2002 at 6:27 PM, Rating: Sub-Default, (Expand Post) And don't forget the resists. Those are important for any class. Monks would find it useful, especially with the recent resistance changes. Everyone knows that monks are very often pullers in many situations. So the resists and AC would be handy for them too. I will agree though that the hybrids and clerics would find this most useful. Just my take on it and for all you people who argue the point... get real your just being greedy.
RE: earring
# Nov 04 2002 at 11:06 PM Rating: Default
On the same note, taking a 20ac earring away from a tank could also be considered greedy.....

#REDACTED, Posted: Jun 20 2002 at 3:16 AM, Rating: Sub-Default, (Expand Post) Because some ppl argue about the wrong thin, and get confused, so hence we clarify it up for them. Making useless information useful. =D
It exists

Picked it up earlier today in ME off the Thought Stealer. Will gladly show anyone on Tholuxe Paells, it's on Aneron. Just come up and inspect since it's no drop and you'll see my Cleric wearing it.

If you have killed AT LEAST 100 Thought Stealers you are either amzaing or insane or both.

# Apr 04 2002 at 7:41 AM Rating: Default
It dropped off of a thought stealer in Maiden's Eye on 3/3/02 around 7pm pst. Was an easy fight, since our forces were walking out of umbral after a raid on Zelnithak. This mob can be soloed by a kiter or killed by one solid group, so 3 groups was overkill. Grats Mitsy!

#REDACTED, Posted: Mar 06 2002 at 8:57 PM, Rating: Sub-Default, (Expand Post) To the enchantress that calls necro and mage pets stupid. The pets break mez because the mobs hit the pet, the pet hits back. Instead of calling the pets stupid....perhaps the chanters could be a little faster with the mezzes?
RE: Pets
# Jun 26 2003 at 12:34 PM Rating: Default
oh my god, please tell that that post was a joke. pets ARE STUPID, they are controlled by a MORONIC UI, and chanter mezzes have something called a CASTING TIME ya'know?
#REDACTED, Posted: Mar 01 2002 at 2:14 AM, Rating: Sub-Default, (Expand Post) just got one, and a pair of ac 15 str 15 20 wis gloves for my cleric
RE: still drops
# Mar 30 2002 at 2:32 PM Rating: Default
you know, it really ticks me off when somebody posts, "just got one", but fails to leave any additional info that may be useful to the rest of us still looking for the item

Just my 2 cents worth
#REDACTED, Posted: Feb 21 2002 at 2:33 PM, Rating: Sub-Default, (Expand Post) I still havent found this earring either, have a few people looking for it too...
The search continues ;)
# Feb 16 2002 at 3:59 AM Rating: Decent
