So again, theoretically speaking lots of Mages had an opportunity each and every week to get their staff from Inny. In reality, few mains ever had a direct opportunity of getting their staff each week.

Here's what you are not taking into consideration. In Kunark mages were useless outside of Call of Heroing players to poop mountain for Trakanon. They were often joked about as Call bots. There is 0 place for a mage in any 32k hp raid mob because it's a dps race and most of them aoe feared. Since devs took away player shared resists it was pointless. No one needed mod rods because mobs had too low life to worry about mana efficiency.

That being said, every single MAIN mage on the server made a secondary character they used for raids. Most of them made rogues or monks because its the same dps wheelhouse. There are still MAIN mages in high end raiding guilds who have killed Inny 10+ times and never gotten their earth staff.

Are there players with mage bots that never get played and have epics? Sure, some. But just because you are in a low-mid tier raid guild does not mean that those in high end raiding guilds arn't in the same situation. The mage epic is now both easier and harder to achieve.

/raises hand (used to Main a Magician)

Not sure how many times I killed Inny while I was in TMO...countless? Never got a Earth Staff. Changed mains to Warrior a few years back.

"I thought I had heard Anonymous got an Earth Staff from Magi a week ago but based upon what I'm reading in this thread, that information is likely incorrect. It would be nice if someone could confirm that an Earth Staff has dropped off Magi (seems like Taken & Azure Guard have been farming him the most) then at least we know it's in his loot table and the drop rate would be the only remaining issue."

I can with 100% certainty say earth staff did not drop for Anonymous last week. He dropped nothing. I was there waiting for it to drop.

I was fortunate enough to be one of those mages who obtained his epic within a month after epic release. Being one of the few for so long and envied by hundreds of mages sure did rustle my jimmy's. I knew the end would come and mages foaming at the mouth for a earth staff who waited for 2 years to finally get their share is coming soon. So I am glad I am squeezing the final few weeks left before the precious mage epic becomes a dime a dozen. Hate 1.5 got released way too fast btw.

I agree. Velious took half a decade and now they're rushing through content?

It got released exactly on timeline.

Magi should be fixed soon. When he is, you will see the earth staff drop more often, but don't count on him dropping a lot more. The chances are increased from the original Inny drop mostly by the Magi's ability to spawn more often.
