What a surprise, the drop rates in mischief on p99 are not good either compared to live!

That guys mentioned getting 6 thrones off a total of maybe 30 mobs. Here you are very lucky if you get 1 throne in 30 mobs.

If you read through the posts on that website, there's a very clear nerf patch in like... Mid November 2001.

In the nerf the invisible NPCs disappear (because GM Hidden), and drop rates on thrones get absolutely obliterated.

But before that point, you have guys saying thrones 1/7 Alice mobs, 1/3 22. Double thrones off 22. Getting 6 thrones out of 20-30 AiW mobs. Getting 5 Thrones in a single night at AiW. Etc.

At the point of the nerf though the Funny Money combination using Top Left WoW + Complete WoW is discovered and Peachy starts asking for 4 Funny Money's. So it's possible the nerf coincided with that discovery or more likely they were patched in at the same time, making it so that you could complete armor without melting down 2-4 thrones just to get an armor box.

all mobs starting in A1+ summon, But if I am reading this right you are saying A1 should only drop up to knights? Same with alice 2? When knights can be farmed in large amounts by mobs with a quarter of the hp, non summoning maze mobs.

Correct.

The tiers are broken up into 4, as are the cards. The descriptions provided from those posts and from EQMac posts say that each tier has a better card drop.

@Colgate - Download GamParse. There is no reason to ever open your log file as a notepad document. Load it into GamParse and do any searching you need in there.

I have logs from live EQ over 2 gigabytes in size that I load into GamParse that has no issue loading up and searching.

Load it up, select new fights only so it loads instantly, and use the log search feature.

If you're looking for a looted log, just search the item. If you're curious what that item came from, search for slain messages and if the time stamps match. Or search the timestamp around those looted messages. Etc.

It's the best log searcher there is because you don't need to actually open the file to search it.

Was this ever addressed in a patch?

Nope.

Thrones should be more common... See the examples from AiW comments. They should also drop from more mobs.

Will continue to bump this until I get my flowers and monk bp. Expect me to be doing thing for a long time with current drop rates.
