- Resists - They are likely flagged 100%MR classically, and are very resistant otherwise, but should be able to be hit by lures (ie CR/FR). On p99 they cannot be hit by any spell.

It should be possible to land some wizard lure spells, pending update.

- They do not show the robe unless they pop while you are in the zone. On p99, they always show the robe. - I remembered this from live, and the quotes I found below support this. You would zone out after they popped and then the robe would disappear.

I don't believe there is any way to implement this currently. It sounds like a strange client side bug.

- They run faster than sow (currently run slower on p99)

I've heard this many times and have never confirmed any NPC that actually ran faster than sow. Some are close, none that I've ever seen are faster. I've increased the runspeed to around jboots level.

- You should be able to hand them a 2-hander of any sort (possibly with max delay of 50), they will equip it, and they will stop quadding

This would have significant consequences across the server, especially in Velious. It was commonly considered an exploit during classic, even if some got away with it. To my knowledge we have no intention of implementing this one here.

It looks like the drop rate for robe is already set to 100%

"Yes, but do NOT kill Qwinn. Zephyl has a known Place holder, and can be forced to spawn, Qwinn can take 3 weeks to spawn even when the zone is being culled by waiting Monks."

Reduced Qwinn's spawn chance a bit, pending update.
