[quote="PATHOLOGIST"]As per title. We were told it was on a to-do list, and I know the mob drop files are allllll over the place, but could it finally be brought a little closer to the front of that to-do list pretty pretty please? The rates at which each weapon drops is so far from equal, swords drop 6x or so more than the others, whereas knuckles are a sight for sore eyes from hunting AB For some reason they drop Scimitar and deceit which is the lower teir wep for swords, but dont drop the lower ones for knuck spear staff bow etc To have a chance at finding certain weapons you have to hunt a monster which is far worse for stats, and yet the drop rate is still so low you can be hunting said monster(s) for weeks and still find only trash. OR could you have Giant Lizarmen, and Minotaurs the exact same stats and xp as AB so we dont ruin our chars to have a fair chance at finding our weapons.[/quote]

[quote="SLAYER"]Ideally it would be great to have all weps same drop rate as sword. Like path said no issues if these are on mobs on par with ab. even more ideal would be if the best weps dropped off shiro instead of lvling mobs, but im sure ive pissed isylver off enough talking about shiro already ;p[/quote]

[quote="GHOSTLORD"]I agree that AB should drop all weapons at the same rate. However, my mate got quite a few (5+) swords at Dread Scythe. If that is an indication of how many swords drop at AB, it'll be lower than swords. I also would like a slight increase in mid-level weapons for those who hunt EE. I have asked iSylver about this recently so it should be in his mind somewhere. xD[/quote]

[updated] Mind you, the axes were had from Shironim, Knuckles were had from Giant Lizard and Grim Bows from Minotaurs. As far as ABs are concerned, they drop more swords than you can shake a stick at! Path has done Giant Lizards for upwards of 10 levels, as have I on my Axer and although Knuckle drop-rate is decent (though still bad luck with tags!) it's frustrating that they're sub-par to hunt compared to ABs. Would be nice to have AB drop-rate looked at (make weapons have equal chances to drop) or to make alternative monsters to ABs so that there is a choice in what you can hunt while on Conti. Personally, I would love Staves to drop from magic monsters... And a magic monster equivalent to WBM (Still bizarre that melee have their End-game monster on Hsoma and Dsoma, but neither race has their endgame magic monster). Furthermore, Conti has absolutely nothing for a Mage beyond 65int. I don't ever set foot there unless i'm Multi-boxing my axer.[/quote]

[quote="WARLOCK"]0 epic axe of oblivions (I think only 2 rares). 2 epic staff of shadows 2 epic grim bows 0 epic grim crossbows 3 epic BT spear 1 epic knuckle of devastation 1 intence Around 15+ epic swords of madness/darkness. at least mate [/quote]

[quote="SMALLBELLY"]dsoma drop rate is bad 80% before i got a more then a s gem does not look good for people lvling char as cant get item to lvl with[/quote]

[quote="MANTICORE"][quote="SMALLBELLY"]dsoma drop rate is bad 80% before i got a more then a s gem does not look good for people lvling char as cant get item to lvl with[/quote] special gems = barrs supply :D At this point if some1 wants to start he can only start when devs have conti cause dread scythes+fws drop some high lvl+mid lvl stuff. I had the honor of getting 3 69skill xbows and a rare 67skil knuckle at fireworms. i did tho missed the 55skill weps i only got 1 55skill xbow when i had 61skill of a friend who had it stocked. Currently some mid lvl weps drops from Certain bosses which players at 30-40 range cannot do unless they archers and cliff it. ABs is another story tho i got all kind of weps untagged but still didnt see a single bow drop. AB's/Tark Palas/Minos need droplist update for sure. [/quote]

[quote="SMALLBELLY"]barr not a wep or armour that is need is it . yes s gems are barr but 80% before a wep or armour drop at fire worms is bad and make u not want to play was enjoy lvling a devil before i came up to the fact the items was not droping did 2 lvls at ee for bows and got nothing apart from 1 staff that bad maybe should have a npc sell weps to the skill lvl off 70 just none tag would help out a lot for the new lvl char been made [/quote]

[quote="BASIL"]I agree, but it think personally all weapons and amours need to be re-looked at. All drops on all monsters are all over the place, to sort out devil conti drops to right mobs would take a hour or so. maybe filter what mobs drop what, instead of one mob drop pads another top ....
