Good job, guys. I didn't know if you

had the stones.

1999 ON Solusek Ro - the Manastone was the common drop , the bag was the rare.

True story.

[Daldaen]

While it does indeed drop it sounds like the drop rate is around 5% from those who have camped it thus far.

This doesn’t jive with the typical classic common/rare break down for named mobs. If you go through most Named in classic in dungeons, most break down to around 75% common and 25% rare roughly.

Evil eye’s drop table should likely follow this break down as well.

Regarding the above poster suggesting Manastone was the common drop, I have no idea if this is correct. The fungus tunic was common for a period so it’s possible but there’s very little in-era information about Manastone drop rates available. I’ve only found one or two sources that say bags is common and Stone is rare. Haven’t seen anything to suggest the opposite.

However the rareness still sounds off with the stones dropping thus far taking 15+ Eye kills. They, like every other common/rare configuration from classic EQ should be seen 1/4 kills roughly.

[turbosilk]

Is there any proof of drop rates one way or the other?

[Albane]

Does EE spawn every time, or is there a placeholder? I recall the Manastone being very rare on Red, something like 1/10 kills.

[turbosilk]

There is a PH. So far its roughly between 1/15 and 1/20 kills of EE.
