Allright, someone tell me the straight story.
I read here, and on other message boards that the drop rate is very common and very predictable. However, upon zoning and and asking, I heard a lot of "No idea.." and "That thing is %$@%$#@% rare!!"
How rare is it? REALLY.

This belt is great for Paladins, Rangers and Beastlords, I can imagine. It's also very good for Rogues, IMO, if you're lacking AC and STR...
I've been trying to camp these 4-legged freaks for 3 days now with a 60 Druid, a 60 Paladin, and myself (57 Rogue). We have had no luck what-so-ever. Sometimes they drop nothing at all, which amazes me, since they con even at 57.
We set up camp right at the UP zone, and kill the 4-legged freak that spawns at the end of the hallway. Maybe we're not killing the right spawn that's known to drop this Belt?
I heard there is another camp in ME, besides the UP zone, and maybe that's where they drop the Belt? Any information would be great.

I've seen it drop 5-6 times camping the Akheva zone line, haven't killed the 4 arms anywhere else so I can't compare (

I just won a roll for one tonight on a guild exp hunt. I love the AC and STR this adds. As for the specific spawns dropping it, I'd have to say it's completely random as we had one drop a few days ago in a different spot. Matter of luck really.
Yea you add some Sta some Agi and some Dex and then i really want one, not to say i don't right now cause ya know 15 str 20 ac, kicks ash for a warrior and as i've said in previous posts, what troll couldn't use some extra wis, i mean if we got any less wisdom we wouldn't know how to hit and we'd hafta like drool the mobs to death anyway i'm getting a lil off subject so i think i'm done...

As stated before, the corpse Should have a 28 minute decay time (for all mobs 55 +) I was in Dawnshroud killing rockhoppers when a guild group got one and called me to come over and loot it. Easily the best belt in game for Beastlord (exagerating maybe, dont flame me hehe). I will proudly wear mine =) stayed around to help kill more of the 4 armed people. It dropped right at akheva zone line, from the one 4 arm mob that spawns there. From what I hear it is pretty common. And with the new exp rules (higher mobs = lots more exp) there will be a lot more people killing them. I have seen the belt being shouted to zone that it was rotting. If you want the belt, just go hunt in ME, im sure you will get one eventually.

This belt drops about one every 6 hours in Maidens Eye off of Xin Thall Centiens (The Four Arm Gothic dudes).
They are dropping nicely for my guild near the UP zoneline and we are averaging lvl 52 or so in our group make ups.

Ya know, this belt drops commonly. Instead of wasting your time whining back and forth about who should get it, go and camp it. Every person in my guild that can use this and wants this belt, has it. hell, even some of our alts have it. and we don't spend a lot of time in maiden's eye.......
if a guild group, you will get one eventually.
if a pickup group, you're most likely rolling anyway...
you guys act like this is an uber rare item. it's super common.

In the case tis hasnt been said, Axgoreth is, I believe, the tag of a verant employee, because if you watch the warrior best of the best from 2000, theres a little dwarf fellow with a green name named Axgoreth with the <Verant Interactive> tag. This is a great belt, cant wait to pick one up
Was camping the Toilers for charcoal with my 51 bard and I had my 36 warrior camped in zone for the Spiked club. She'd been there for a while and was just too lazy to move her out even after I got the club. Someone shouted this belt dropped, I ran over with Inviz and bard Selo's up and checked it out. I was VERY VERY tempted to loot it but decided to log off and let my warrior have it. snagged it and I'm now very happy.
For those of you complaining about Twinking this for someones alts, look, if your level 51+ in ANY class, you deserve the RIGHT to give your lower level alts nice stuff. Yeah you may not like it but if you've spent THAT much time in EQ to be that high, so what if you get to help yourself out.

What? Hey if you wanna take the easy way out, go ahead, but don't come here and try to justify it by saying you have at least one lvl 51+.
Who cares? Verant obviously doesn't care if you do it, it's not 'illegal'. You either twink or you don't, it's a choice, not a 'RIGHT'. No justification needed.

Lotsa corpses have poofing times of 30mins, like dragons, and names mobs and sometimes when they drop something rare/uncommon their corpse usually lasts longer
I've never heard an exact answer, but i believe the corpse decay time is based on the mobs level (ie 55+ mobs last 30 minutes) .. like i said i could be wrong.
I found something worse than losing the roll for one of these...
Losing TWO rolls for one of these. :)

Heh, i was in a group when one of these dropped. It defaulted to me because the other 2 melee had one already. As a war, the 20ac and 15 str are pretty nice, although i'm sure there are some pallys droolin over this belt. :P
I got one of these for my Shadow Knight. Since no one else in group could use it LOL! Nice AC and STR not so happy about that useless WIS...

Umm because he didn't win the first roll?
I was nailing some of the 4 arms with my 56 necro and 2 other casters (it was actually pretty harsh!). This belt dropped. No one could use it. Thinking what the hell i logged my 27 War who was in LOIO. I had 29 mins to get to the corpse before it poofed. Ran through FM to DL and got to the portal - 8 or so mins to wait for Nexus. Arrived in Nexus with 6 mins to go and was sure i'd never make it.........through Netherbian, Dawnshroud, into ME.........and picked up the belt 7 secs to spare before it poofed. My 27 Orge war is one proud fella. That race was some of the most fun i've had in EQ in a while. Nice.

It was a change made not long after the kunark release. I don't remember if its level 55+ or 56+, but all mobs that level or higher the corpse will last 30 minutes before poofing, assuming there is something on it. The reason was that on high end encounters, sometimes it would be nearly impossible to impossible for the people to get back in time to loot the item before it vanished (cleric died so rez impossible, corpse stuck in wall/floor and need a summon, etc.)

I dont know if their story is true, but your ignorance sure is. Some of the mobs in ME and UP have 30 minute timers on their corpses. They are unnamed and it is not always the ones that drop good loot, I saw one that only had some research component and vendor trash.

that called for druids and necros to be nerfed early in the game "(insert winey voice here) Because they are too powerfull and its not fair .. waaahahahaha"
Now when we group with them we as a group have less capabilities than before.
When I have a warrior tanking foor me to keep me alive I want him to have the best gear possible.

I finally got this belt thanks to Obetwo and Leyian after 3 weeks of camping it. The mob that drops it is not 52 but 57 and has a HT of 911. A 52 war can be main tank for him but you need at least a 57 caster to root him so you can get wailed on. Pretty sweet belt and it was alot harder to get then i thought it would be.

LOADING. PLEASE WAIT...
I'm a 55 War on TP, got this tonight in Guild group near Ak zone. Though it's a better item (AC/str, no haste sucks but I can get Wondrous Rapidity anytime) than my Belt of Contention, I sent a tell to our Guild Pallies to see if any could get to ME before it rotted. Only took belt once no one could make it in time. Pally item all the way, prolly ranger too, but Pally first. Warrior item if neither of those available/need. AC and str are king IMO.

Paladin belt huh? Are you nuts? This belt has some of the better AC in the game. ***** a haste belt, thats what Silver Chitin Handwraps and a Cloak of Flames are for! LOL. im a 53 warrior of Dwarven race. My Base strength unbuffed with all my gear is 198...Thats nice for a Dwarf, mind you. I dont have the best gear, but by gods i have some gear that most level 53 warriors wouldnt see till level 58. Once more, I give my Input.

Obviously you have never played a paladin or ranger. Im a level 54 paladin, and I would love to get one of these belts, so far they have givin this to a monk 2 times now.If you have ever played a paladin, wisdom and strength are your main problems. I have good gear but im still at 166str unbuffed, 114wis. this would bost me a great deal. If you let anyone have dibs on this, let the paladins, rangers, and beastlords get the priority, thats a hell of a lot of wisdom to waste.
***** that, just because an item has some wis on it doesn't mean that only wis users should get it or get priority on it.
If a 100ac 20 int belt drops thats int casters and pallies, would you be happy if they gave int casters the priority on it over a tank because of the 20 int or would you be mad as #$&& because you could use the AC more than they? Think of it like that.

Well, Im no pally but I guarantee that if there was a 100ac belt with 20int, it would go to casters most of the time. Who would benefit from it more, someone who doesnt need int at all and has pretty decent ac or someone whose main stat is int and has **** for AC?

I'm not a pally, but I'm a paladin, and I say, yah, 100 AC belt 20 INT, goes to the casters. 20 INT on a belt is just amazing.
This belt...up in the air, should go to the person who isn't wearing a haste belt though. Pissed me off the other day when the monk wearing a Fbss got there and looted it before me. He's not gonna even wear the damn thing...

Actually IMO any monk of a high enough level to wear this belt is not going to waste a slot on a crap item like FBSS. There are better slots for a monk to place haste such as the back with a Cloak of Flames if the money is there. I think between epic haste and a CoF haste that with a chanty there is no need for FBSS. I myself wear Axgeroth's Belt of Defense and with the monk AC bonus it gives about 32 AC to me which is VERY nice. But hey, its just MY opinion.

As far as the 100AC 20INT belt goes....
Guild group-Goes to Main tank EVERY TIME. Your main tank with that belt will benefit your guild raids MUCH more than having one caster having a little extra mana and being able to take one extra hit for 250+ from an "uber" mob because he nuked before the call.
Pickup group-All roll on it.

I got this belt with my ranger. 60 Guilde Druid soloing in front of the Umembral zone got this in a drop so i logged in my 47 ranger and ran from dawnshroud to Umembral and just got there intime to loot it. I had to take off an FBSS and loose haste but i think the stats on the belt are worth giving up the haste for now )
Good luck to all~!

I would suggest you reconsider. 20+ % haste is far more important than the stats on this belt. Try trading in your FBSS and some pp for a pair of silver chitin handwraps and then you will have haste + this nice belt.
13 posts
I would say keep the belt in your inventory and use the haste for now. Once you obtain your epic and have a maxed 40 percent haste, then use this belt. Get CC gaunts, boots and arms and keep the FBSS or upgrade to Sash of the Dragonborn, until you obtain your epic. That should give you the boost in AC you want and still keep the Haste you need.
Just remember to let the Tanks be tanks and you be a ranger. High damage and lite tanking is our job.

well to be fair to warriors... I was grouped with 2 of them when this dropped... all who can use it rolled for it, including me a paladin. I won the roll and they didn't complain. so kudos to all the good warriors out there!
Whle pullin toilers by the lake we ran out of toilers. Puller says how about a 4arm, np all FOM and ready. Ol boy dropped this for us...all say give it to the shaman (notice, shm is not listed on pic) Shaman is very disappointed; so is cleric. Only monk, wizzie, bard and SK left. Monk(me) not allowed to roll - too low level they said. SK and bard roll, bard wins and is happy for new upgrade.
Happy for guildmate, still woulda liked a roll =(

Too low ? Heh if i was you i would find another guild. If you were in on the kill and weren't sitting around playing with yourself then you should have been included. Get a real guild that follows one of two rule sets. Either its straight NBG or its sraight roll.
You assume this was a 100% guild group. Perhaps a guild mate was in the group?
In any case always know the loot distribution rules of the group you are joining.

unless this group was 100% nbg. everyone who can..should roll.
Picked one up last night, only other guy in our group who could use it was another ranger who already had it...not using it yet, but once I get my first epic, it will definately be replacing my RBB.
I picked up one of these last night. Imagine my suprise when no one else in our group wanted it!
Group consisted of a Pally, Warrior, SK, Cleric, and myself (Rogue). I am not complaining at all... not one itsy bitsy bit but Damn, this really should have gone to the SK, warrior, or pally but hey, if their gear was better (which it obviously was), then so be it.

One of these dropped for us last night...When I saw this I has like WOW OMG..Then I saw I couldnt use it as a Vicar. Would have been great tho :o) Either way the only one in our group that could use it was a warrior so he got it...Grats to him :o) I wont complain as a cleric tho cause in the same zone are 15ac 15str 20wis Gauntlets for Cleric Druid Shammie only so we also get sweet stuff..well good hunting and safe journey to all :o)

Posted: Feb 02 2002 at 7:44 AM, Rating: Sub-Default, (Expand Post) Let me reach my 1100ac 'soft cap' and you can have any freaking piece of ac armor that drops. My guild is currently working on getting suited up for ToV and guess what... the warriors are the only people getting any gear. all raids in kael are in the manor where only the plate drops (not that i can use any of the chain other than the bp anyway) but being that all my resists AND ac is sucking whereas our weakest warrior is complaining that that his 1300ac is too low. Look buster, i have only reached 1003ac fully cleric/shaman buffed and sometimes no matter how much i jolt/cinder jolt/stop attacking/run i still die. this belt alone would give me around 30-35 additional ac that i desperately need whereas that warrior with 1300ac who wants this is still not going to get hit any less hard. I have no problems with warriors being equipt, but you all also need to think of those who are less fortunate and who want to live and can't wear a freaking 100ac breastplate!

In defense of warrior types I have to say that we don't have it as easy as all that. I like to roleplay so I made a Wood Elf Warrior. I love my character but man oh man is he hard to play. Every little bit helps. I keep trying to find armor that is attainable without a huge group or a guild raid but there just isn't any without a large cash horde.
I feel for all classes, Warriors included. It's tough to find decent armor but if the high AC item has to go to someone.....sorry but the Warriors have to come first. That said, everyone should get a taste of the loot when all is said and done.

It's for hybrids. This is not the first such item. There is the Polished Mithril Torque from King Tranix in Solusek B, 7 ac 13 int 13 wis, melee classes only. No casters or priests can use it either.
Umm...because it's a melee item?
Imagine if some staple high wisdom item got bumped up to be really killer AC. Would you want it to go to a melee? It has 15wisdom on it, because they can give 15wisdom to a melee without unbalancing things.

Probably because if they could use it, when the melees wanted to roll on this belt they would start the whinning and "WHAAA! I'm leaving unless I get this!" routine.
As to why any melee would want this belt - same str as a TBB, 2.5 times more AC, 15 wis for the hybirds mana pool and trade skills, and best of all its free and you don't need a full-blown 55+ planes raid to get one for a change. 'Bout dang time.

Well, rangers, paladins and beastlords have mana based on Wisdom.
Plus wisdom helps everyone for trade skill.
So the +15 wis is not useless.

So the +15 wis is not useless.
Actually, wisdom only helps people learn trade skills if their wisdom is higher than their intelligence. So for intelligence-based casters or a bard like me who has a higher intelligence than wisdom, wisdom is meaningless for skill advancement.
In a pickup group any class that can use any item is fair game to get the item. It's ridiculous to argue what class can use an item best. ANY class can use AC.
I'd love to see these whines stop. But I won't.
NBG does not apply with people you may never group again with.
And lets face it this is a GAME there IS no 'need' it is all 'greed'. No one 'needs' pixels. Get over it. If everyone is a group contributes to a kill anyone that can equip an item has legitimate claim to roll for it.
Period.
