Ooze globe npc types showing weapons they will drop
 

Can't think of an NPC off the top of my head but this is very interesting.. the ooze is showing the spear it will drop

This just means the npc has the weapon equipped, if it is going to drop it. The ooze 'holds' the weapon in that area. Should be working.
