[quote="JACKELPUP"]I think there may be a bug with the Prismatic Shadow drops and I would be grateful if a GM could look at this please ... ? When a Prism dies, if it drops barr only, the Barr will drop central to the Prism corpse like this; [URL=http://s1261.photobucket.com/user/Jackelpup/media/2014-9-3013-531-JACKELPUP.png.html][IMG]http://i1261.photobucket.com/albums/ii591/Jackelpup/2014-9-3013-531-JACKELPUP.png[/IMG][/URL] (You will note the Barr is central to the corpse) When a Prism dies and it also drops an item (in the following case a mana pot) the "item" drops central to the corpse and the Barr drops to an adjacent free space; [URL=http://s1261.photobucket.com/user/Jackelpup/media/2014-9-3014-383-JACKELPUP.png.html][IMG]http://i1261.photobucket.com/albums/ii591/Jackelpup/2014-9-3014-383-JACKELPUP.png[/IMG][/URL] (Notice the "pot" is central to the corpse and the Barr is below) I know the Prisms drop dried frogs and a number of my guild mates have said they can get up to one or two a hunt (I assume a hunt means until they run out of pots). Sometimes, of course, they get none. I haven't been getting any frogs which I put down to bad luck and my guild mates exaggerating their claims. .... .Then I noticed something; I killed a Prism and the Barr fell outside of the corpse leaving "nothing" central where an item would normally drop. I killed more Prisms until I ran out of mana pots hoping it would happen again so I could get a screenie but it didn't (perhaps 50-70 kills). Then I checked my WH and noted from the last 2350 kills I have received; Barr Mana pots Nightmare shoes/hats etc. but, crucially, these; 18 Prism Crystals 14 Medium Jades [b]Zero Frogs[/b] Could a GM advise please ? Is there a "condition" that needs to be met for a Dried Frog to drop that I don't qualify for or is there a bug? (The 2350 kills above is based on my current Int level and the following data; 75-80int 12 kills per 0.1 (approx) 80-85int 20 Kills per 0.1 and 85-90int 25 kills per 0.1) Thanks Jac *Edited for typos[/quote]

[quote="JACKELPUP"]Quite unbelievably, at 4:50pm (time 1), a frog dropped to Prism. Was a bug addressed in between the original post and the above time or is it a co-incidence (and the drop rate is really that low?) Indecently, the frog did not drop central to the corpse, the "centre" was blank with no barr (I screenied it) Jac[/quote]

[quote="MONSTER"]When drops aint going under the mob im pretty sure its just the mob not actualy being on that spot, but showing it, when i trained at prisms it wouldnt let me weaken one within range although the server showed it to be in range. Pretty sure everything is just rng and no bug[/quote]

[quote="JACKELPUP"]Thanks Monster .... You may well be right about the drop and the mob position 8) Another frog dropped at 6:55pm (Time 13). I had logged for food then came back on about 1 hour later. Two frogs in about 2 hours (about 70-90 kills) I assume a GM has "fixed" something ? Jac [/quote]
