Default Mobs in Velks should only drop Platinum and Silver

Live server Velketor's Labyrinth mobs that dropped coin never dropped any Gold or Copper. It is known.

"A few named mobs pop up here, Gregendek Icepaw and Tpos Icepaw, Tpos drops the barbed ringmail, also a lot of spider fur stuff drops here, belt and collar, for sure. Some spells.. and a **** load of Silver. u will be destroying silver before long.. if u plan on hunting here for any length of time. "

Best reference I can find easily

That comment is from 2002.

So you're saying that they might have made a change to the types of coin that dropped in Velks between 2001 and 2002? It's a vintage post even if it's past our timeline. Maybe someone else knows I'm right and can find a better reference. I'm 100% certain this is correct though. I distinctly remember having hundreds of plat and many hundreds of silver after a night in Velks. The other 2 coins just didn't drop.

Now that you bring it up, this is how I remember it, as well.

Took a stab at finding a velks guide on vintage snapshots of monkly-business, but no dice. I figured monks would be paying attention to the coin.

Not exactly strong (or even medium-strength) evidence, but I did find:

Only camp I have AE'ed is the Pit and the entrance. The Pit is all dogs. Really easy to pull trains down there but is a chance resists could happen. Loot isn't great but the plat payout is. Spiders are really easy if enough can be found, however remind the puller to not turn his back on 10 backstabbers.
So at the very least Velk's pit mobs should be dropping a lot of plat, but I found nothing about silver (or a lack of copper/gold).

This sounds legit, but I can't trust my memory. I can look thru my old Velks chat screenshots...

I do know there was a "Velks revamp" that occurred in 2001 (discussion here). Maybe a change happened then?
