Please post a little research suggesting the drop rate is too rare.

I assume you mean a parse of my log file?
Dates: 28-Apr-2020 through 4-May-2020 Breakdown; April-28: 27 kills, 1 liver April-29: 12 kills, 0 livers April-30: 12 kills, 0 livers May-1: 4 kills, 0 livers May-2: 15 kills, 0 livers May-4: 12 kills, 0 livers Total number of kills: 82 Loot breakdown: 55 X Cold Water Barracuda Meat 1 X Barracuda Liver Please note that there are 3 cold water barracudas up at all times (maybe 4? not sure, can't track). So 82 mobs means roughly 82/3*6.5 minutes which is ~3 hours and only 1 liver. Does this answer your request regarding research? Thanks! - Petel | ||

How can you "prove" that? By using tools like the Wayback Machine to find old EverQuest sites that mention the Barracuda Liver and how rare/common it was. If you can find one (but preferably several) pieces of evidence, eg. forum posts where someone says "It took me twenty barracudas to get a liver", then you'll have the "evidence" to prove Project 1999 has a bug. Ideally this evidence should come from before 2002, but since things like the Barracuda Liver drop rate probably didn't change in the next year or two, if you can only find evidence from later that might be good enough also.

According to Allakhazm forums, the drop rate is 1/10.
See https://everquest.allakhazam.com/db/npc.html?id=6150. Another forum on the original quest says quite common: "Found one of the Baracuda livers from the first one we killed, but then started having a few problems finding any more. Enlisted the help of a guildie druid, who tracked them for us, and bingo! another liver on the 3rd or 4th kill. " https://everquest.allakhazam.com/db/...tml?quest=1224 However, that same thread talks about it being rarer. Thanks, - Petel | ||
