Game Mechanics: Nihilist Zeegarn / Nihilist Yeegarn incorrect item drop table

[tristantio]

Hey all, these two are located in front of the Cabilis Necro guild. They are supposed to drop the following 3 items (one being a SHD usable robe although NO RENT):

Drape of the Nihilist:

Nihilist Forecap:

Nihilist Battlestaff:

Instead I got these:

Dark Stained Training Robe (ugh, DEF NEC only, these mobs are IKS SHD)

Rod of Battle (sort of a cool surprise but incorrect)

Ok, on further research, it seems the 3 items I'm referring to must have came much later (judging by the item ID tags and the items that come up just before and after said items), please feel free to close.

looks classic, the rod of battle is a kaesora drop that also appeared in cab

kind of like how robe of enshroudment drops in neriak but is also a solro temple quest item

sell value I researched to also be correct 180pp and change from ZAM

Fixed, pending update

From my research, they should drop the Rod, just not every time. Also, increased their respawn time to 28 minutes, fixed their hp and class.


Also, they are invulnerable in game until next patch, on pve/pvp servers.

it is classic, pras

in town guards being charmable allowed this and they should have insanely high resists like the Grobb ones that were fixed

so nirgon you were aware of this 7 months ago, yet your on every other classic fix like white on rice, you covered this up instead of 7 months for your guild.

anyways, thanks for your help nilbog. Any word on if you guys are going to run down the plat and see who RMT'd it?

[Nirgon]

reported town guards months (years?) ago, the mob classicly drops this item

try killing it without a charmed guard

I agree with your decision, but I would like to see the evidence for this.

Your statement has 2 parts to it.
1) These NPCs can drop the Rod of Battle
2) The frequency for the Rod of Battle is less than 100%.

I wasn't even able to find anything on #1, let alone #2. I didn't go super in-depth on this, but there's nothing to be found in the easy spots.

Just curious is all. I have shiny Azeroth gold for your time.
