I have 3 boxed this mission 9 times so far this 2011 (12th) Anniversary season. I have gotten 3 Duelist, 3 Seer, and 3 Scholar augs. I am not convinced that the Defender aug is real.
Make that zero for 10. I've gotten 3 Duelist, 4 Seer, and 3 Scholar augs. If a guildie hadn't linked the Defender aug in excitement I would suspect it was a hoax.
Zero Defender augs in 11 missions. I collected 3 Duelist, 3 Scholar, and 5 Seer augs with the last 4 in a row being Seers. With the 20hr lockout timer the task can only be run once per day. 11 missions without the Defender aug = 11 days of failure. /sigh
The 12th Anniv aug mission only has a 5hr lockout. People ran them 3 times a day. Sony should cut the lockout on this mission to 5hrs to match the 12th Anniv mission.
We had bard pull and split Karl (or whatever his name is) away from adds. Mission is easily duoable with bard/warrior Tower+ geared and a bot druid. This aug dropped for us first time, so unsure how rare/common it is. Sucks losing a roll to a bard to! =(
Drops in the 11th year Anniversary quest given by Miggles in PoK (forgot name). Found in [a steel chest] at the conclusion of the mission. Not sure if loot is random or given from chest.
