NPC Spawn Issue: One eyed gnoll loot table

[Abacab]

I've destroyed at least 18 spawns of this guy in split paw over the last two days and he has yet to drop the "Gnoll eye" which should be on a very high drop rate. Even on live I do believe every time he was killed he dropped the eye (both the Paw and SK versions)

So I'm just wondering if it was removed totally or made like the Elgnub spawn where it's nearly impossible to find him up to complete the gnoll slayer quest

Hey there Abacab. I actually felt the same way after killing him and the scribe 3 times or so. Was about to leave(even made a bug posting) and the last scribe we killed before leaving dropped the tome finally to my surprise and glee. [You must be logged in to view images.

This was over a month ago now though, so its possible something was changed; more likely you just had some phenomenal bad luck. Its a great weapon, stick it out! [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

I got the tome first kill and scribe has dropped it everytime a group has took the stair area so he's obviously being generous...

but 18 kills on the one eyed gnoll and no eye? if that was a 1/5 chance that's gonna be an awful lot of time in split paw

It was 31%. Increasing to 50%.

You should notice the change with the next db patch.
