Crystal Caverns: Shimmering Velium Ruby & Bottle of Karsin Acid

[Byrjun]

Not sure what forum to post this in since there isn't a general item bug forum.

Anyways, I don't think Shimmering Velium Ruby should be dropping. It appears to be used for a PoP quest: http://everquest.allakhazam.com/db/item.html?item=16566

Bottle of Karsin Acid: Nilbog says this exists and is dropping properly, but I've spent hours wiping this zone and haven't seen one yet. That's dozens of orcs and even some geonids (which also should drop the acid) and no drop yet. Even if it is dropping properly, the drop rate is definitely off. Allakhazam estimates 1 in 15, which seems accurate with my own experiences on live.

Fixed, pending update

magelo has it around 4% of > 10000 kills. That's what it is here currently.

Here's all of the mentions of the Karsin acid on Allakhazam:

1) Go to Crystal Caverns in EW and kill any mob in the zone. I killed mobs at the entrance and on my third kill, a Bottle of Karsin Acid dropped.

I do the quest 2 time in the same day.
Around 1h00 ~ 1h25 with 2 caracter. (warrior lvl 1 and my main 59 Necromancer).

A "Bottle of Karsin Acid" is no drop, and is looted off of random easy kill orcs in Crystal Caverns. About 1 out of 15 drops a bottle.

Got 2 in about 3 clearings of the geonids the other day, so they still drop there too.

I've been farming velium in CC the last few weeks. Killing primarily orcs. This bottle drops uncommonly off the orcs (maybe 1 in 15 have it).

I'm not exactly sure how Magelo works... if it's based off logs, wouldn't it only show up if the item is looted?

Also saw this randomly:

There ARE some shardwurms that see invisible if you are using a mule. If you get some of them try to get around them. If you can't then you might have to wait or thin them out with your main with some help.

I haven't seen any shardwurms that see invis on the beta server yet.

From what I can tell, it seems all the shardwurms have a chance. Going with 20%, next patch.
