Miscellaneous: Staff of the Dreaded Gaze drop rate

[Brinkman]

As many people know, this staff is supposed to be extremely rare. So rare in fact, that its the only item I can remember that was listed ( and still is listed) As No longer dropping on Allakhazam, when in fact it does still drop.

There have been many people on P99 that camped this staff for a week straight untill they got it to drop. Recently ( last 3 weeks or so ) however, there seems to have been an increase in it dropping. I know of two confrimed drops in the last 3 days, And this is only two I know for sure that dropped. This could be luck and I wouldnt be one to dismiss that, but I'm seeing enough for sale and these confirmed drops to at the very least bring it up.

The issue could be one of two things, either Xalgoz is spawning too much, which would create an increase in the chance for the staff to drop, or the chance of the staff itself had a % chance to drop increase. Or both, so I guess thats three things [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

I know this is low priority, but when there is a few minutes to check the codeing, it would be cool to get some feedback on this. Also, I know Uthgaard showed at item search result for Ton Po's Staff a while ago in another thread so Im sure its possible to track the drops and frequency as well.

As always, Appreciate your time!
