Statistics on research page drops
I have been thinking for a while now that mage drops are very rare, so I decided to do some investigating today.
I've spent 9 hours in unrest killing 24-33 mobs which, according to the wiki, have an equal chance of dropping a research material. We were clearing the entire basement cycle at a solid pace, ahead of respawns, aside from 2 cycles where replacements were coming in. There were 22 mobs that were being cleared at a rate every 21 minutes. Approximately 594 mobs were killed during our extended session. Here are my (actually quite surprising) findings: 84 necro pages. 62 chanter pages. 36 wizard runes. 0 mage pages (but 1 gloves of rallos zek dropped...). The level of imbalance is so severe that I'm seriously considering that there is a quite fundamental bug, rather than just a decreased drop rate. I am going to continue to monitor this as I progress through the levels. Any other thoughts as towards why this is happening would be useful to assist me. GMs - I would also welcome your thoughts... | ||

I've been soloing in Najena for a week. Many runes, necro and ench pages. Zero mage. I've been happy as ench, but boy it must be rough to be a mage.
On a side note, the level of content I've been killing has been dropping lvl 16 and 20 research components. An occasional lvl 24 peice. Zero mage though. None. | ||

Level 35 Mage now. I have witnessed about 5 - 6 drops of Words of Dimension, 1 drop of Words of Coercion, total from level 1 to 35 which was all spent grouping in dungeons. Maybe 12 - 20 of the Gloves of Rallos/Jade Shard/Ice of Velious etc components.
Mage words are just ridiculous to acquire and if this is working as intended, it's still broken as fuck. I have spent well over 1000pp (3 Coercion, 1 Duress, fees for higher mages to do combines) buying from other players to obtain a 24, 29 and 34 pet. | ||

I love how Hashire's first post was about buying words. He seemed so innocent back then. Then Red died and his meds wore off.

I found a weird thing happening with an orc scout mobs in kithkor dropping a lot of magician research items which is bizarre because they were green to my level 8 cleric
Actually I got both the necro hungry earth words from them too so its not just magician | ||
