siblisian berserker cloak

baalzy · #1 06-09-2011, 04:44 PM

So, theres been a bug in about this for a while now.

Nilbog stated that it does drop, just very rarely.

Uthguard did a db query at the end of april and showed that 0 cloaks had dropped at that point.

With some recent ninja-changes to item drop rates I'm wondering if maybe this has been changed?

Has anyone found one of these yet or at least seen somebody wearing one? I'm fairly convinced that a rounding issue is causing the cloak to have a 0% drop-rate, either that or some larger bug is in play here and stopping the cloak from dropping. 2months and counting of Seb being farmed and not a single cloak has dropped just seems a bit much.

yea seems to me the sbc is far too rare or like you say doesnt drop at all, and the rbg is too common

Hey shut up about the RBG. I don't have one yet... it's not THAT common [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

SBC was always hella rare. There were like a total of 3-4 on Tunare by the time luclin hit. Thats a lot of farm time for so very few.

Really, you have proof that there were only 3-4 on Tunare from Kunark to Luclin? They were pretty common on my server with Trak being able to drop one AND it being droppable from any frog. 3-4 my ass.

Kor Shaman + Trak only, no?

edit: you know, it may seem outlandish that with Seb on 24/7 farm status that one hasn't dropped, but when one does drop (if it truely is not bugged) let's say a month from now. Won't that stat actually seem on par with live? Kunark premiers Mar 25, and it takes until July 10 for a Seb cloak to drop.

Is there really anything wrong with a cloak dropping @ the rate of ~1 every 4-5 months? I mean, anyone with a Heiro cloak and better than 26% haste wouldn't use it. So we're already talking about most folks preferring to not wear one, so it's only value is in it's rarity, or obviously to that niche player who needs the haste and doesn't have Heiro.

Whenever someone says there were "3-4" of something after a year or two I can't help but wonder how low the drop % would have to have been.

I mean, lets say conservatively that ten frogs able to drop the item get killed every hour. For 3 cloaks to drop in one year the drop rate would have to be about 1 in 29,000. I just can't imagine the original developers deeming it necessary to make an item that drops from groupable/soloable content that rare.

I normally don't try and get involved with "This is not how its supposed to be" posts but.

I think that by now at-least ONE would of dropped.

I'm confused...Why wouldn't literally ANY melee wear this over a Hiero Cloak? It beats Hiero on every melee stat by 5 at the expense of 25hp, most of which you would recover with the extra 5 to stamina anyway...

Not to mention, weight differencial on SBC vs. Hiero = .01 vs. 1.0

I think this is what you meant. Well, most melee don't receive 5 hp per 1 sta! I mean Azeth, with classic armor and Kunark weapons, was rolling with 255's across the bored buffed, not even buffed by level 60's either. HP is king, also rangers/paladins/sks I'm sure appreciate the int/wis/mana.
