Game Mechanics: Make Quillmane Classic Again

[Tewaz]

aoe kite the whole zone until QM spawns.

Charm QM and level fast on the gnolls.

Profit.

I've now spent over a year going out to south karana every chance I get to hope for a quillmane, i've gotten 11 kills, no cloak yet. I'm a mage so this is a drop for my epic.. I have competition from all these class's that have the spell, but just dont feel like carrying bat wings, or they just want it for a quality of life thing... do you really intend for it to be like this for mages or were you just not considering this while changeing things around?

Got earth staff or just planning on blocking melees from their native lev? [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

native lev... thats funny.

Feeling bitter and angry about drop rates is very classic. It's how I remember the game from 1999. I can't wait to see what you "actually" nerds decide to come up with next.

This thread gives me great joy. Hunt him if he’s worth the trouble. Get lucky or try hard.

10 kills and zero cloaks is really so bad that I don’t believe you though. Got it on the first time I ever killed him on live in velious era, but maybe it’s just lucky.

Believe it. Many reports from many guilds of clearing the entire zone with bards for hours, 6+ hours, seeing like 3 spawns, and zero cloaks. This needs to be reversed/changed. It's NOT classic currently, or even remotely close.

Evidence? If Quillmane is really dropping too few cloaks, all it takes is proof to get the devs to fix it.

It's anecdotal evidence from various people in all the top guilds that have been farming for cloaks since the change. It's nearly impossible to get Q to spawn let alone to get a cloak drop.

Also that's hilarious that you think devs will just fix something given evidence. There are plenty of active threads in the bug forum that suggest otherwise.

Perhaps the way in which QM spawns is more "Classic" but the drop rate of the cloak is NOT classic. Even dating back on Allakhazam:

don't be disapointed if you get the leggings man, 5 times out of 10 he drops them instead of the cloak

Dating back to 2001 even cloak on Live dropped 50% of the time... What they did was drop the rate when it was "easier" to camp before to outweigh people getting them so easily.. but now that they changed the way in which it spawns, they didn't change the drop rate to be better reflective of true classic.. It's now impossible to get vs what it actually was on Live.
