Miscellaneous: Missing armour set "Bamboo Splint"

[Jimjam]

The armour set 'Bamboo Splint' seems to be missing from The Warrens.

I remember wearing a few pieces of this on my Sullon Zek server SK, who only made it to about level 12-15 (unfortunately I stopped playing this character pretty quickly; after the initial 'new server rush' the entire continent was dead as high level druid / wizards would just port in to clear the warrens of newbs).

The armour drops off the following mobs in The Warrens (based off magelo stats), each piece has the following chance to drop:

Huntmaster Furgrl 2%
Prince Bragnar 2%
Lorekeeper Roggik 2%
High Shaman Drogik 2%
a greater shaman 1%

though note, more than one piece never drops at a time.


The armor set seems to have been first detected by mageo in warrens September 2001.

Well, I have just seen a Bamboo Splint Bracelet drop off Huntmaster Furgrl...

As such, I change this bug report from 'missing armor' to 'far too rare' armor.

If each individual piece should be 2%, that means 1:50 mobs should drop that piece. Obviously there are 12 pieces, I suggest an armour piece should drop 1:4 kills. Going by the magelo data, the relative rarity of each piece seems about even, so which piece actually drops on those every fourth mobs should be evenly random.

Fixed, pending update.
