Trying to gather more evidence for these things. Here's one post I found on the Stomples model that for some reason doesn't agree to the screenshot.

"as for cards the hardest ones to get are the thrones. only a couple mobs drop them and none are all that easy. though a decently outfit shaman with topor (or even with out) shouldnt have that much trouble. the best place for thrones is Stomples (giant rabbit that spawns when you kill sniffles. he is VERY tough, can triple for 355 and hits VERY fast even slowed). Stomples is the best bet for thrones. drops one (or two rarely) every 5 kills or so. had one streak of 35 with no thrones. he is on a 33 hour spawn timer and is up at server up."

And here is a discussion on the April 2001 patch changing some mobs including relocating sniffles/debbis.

Within one of your links there is also multiple confirmations that a Words of Wealth + Top Left words of wealth will create funny money that can be used for obtaining the gift boxes. If we're relying on this evidence, should that change be made as well?

where does it say that?

all i see is as expected - combine words of wealth with any 2-throne item created from deck of spontaneous generation (or mask of melodies) for a funny money.

at 60+ with torpor the aiw4 part is doable , not that good xp but still xp , all mobs can drop thrones , and you can farm book pages for WoW and funnies "


Additionally, there are many other posts in the BUGS forums on project 1999 with more evidence to show that gift boxes can be made without the cards and solely from Words of Wealth + Top Left.

wow, big if true. can i get a reimbursement on those two dozen thrones pls

Relative to a normal sized rabbit, that is giant: real life rabbits aren't the size of halflings ... not even shrunken ones :)

This page confuses me, it's claiming ivy etched gauntlets were a reward when handing in the rabbit foot, instead of the lucky skunk foot which they say was a drop. If anyone can explain...

Not sure if this was mentioned before but the hobbits in picture room (one where sniffles spawns) are currently not able to attack using pets.. the pets just try to run into the wall and never attack doobis etc. used to be able to kill them and they dropped crown more than any mob i have seen in PoM.

I spent 100s and 100s of hours in PoM and p99. best zone in the game but wish there was more content for it =)
