wrong, he still drops it..but, he was nerfed to not drop it every time hes killed..might be more worth your time to make a human monk and do the sash quest.
I am not impressed by this item, many are better. What impresses me is that someone took out Puab Closk, this guy quads for 350ish, Ive seen many chanters try to take him by mezzin the PoD, and still lose, Congritz to whomever beat him, very impressive
