Can Devs or content update people who have access to the database share with us what the current drop rate is for the Manastone?
I’m curious what it’s set to currently. Sounds like it’s around 5% from all reports coming out of the Manastone camp.
Coincidentally I’d also be curious to know what the next lowest drop rate from a named mob with 2 items is from classic in our database. Perhaps Arch Magus SMR or Frenzied FBSS? Going off Magelo both of these items are 20% drop rate (it’s important to understand when looking at Magelo drop percentages, these include kills from the updated live level 85-110 versions of the zone which have different drops with the same mob name so it compiles them all under the same mob. So you have to take the total of the two classic items and divide by the count of each to get an accurate drop chance).
Manastone should be set to 20% to match the other rare items from LGuk. Classic while on its face seems very unique with the quests available and zonewide rare spawns, the drop rate for named mobs seems very consistent across the entirety of vanilla EQ. The only exceptions are for mobs that drop 3 items (Skarlorn, Estrella, Ishva Mal, maybe one more I’m forgetting?). But every mob with 2 drops has the chance for each set to around 80-60% common and 40-20% rare. Even in the case of mobs like ghoul cavalier, ghoul assassin, or shin lord, where one of the drops is a class specific item, usable by only a single class, those rare weapons are 20% drop chance.
