I remember on Rodcet Nife when Velious first launched the level 44 spells (like Celestial Healing, Boon of the Garou, etc.) only dropped off the crystalline shardwurms in the Great Divide for awhile.

They were only in one cave with 4 spawns so one group pretty much held the whole server hostage for these new spells. I was fortunate enough to get a spot in the group and get some of the spells for our guild. Not sure if it was a bug, bad planning or what but it was eventually changed.

I sure wish I could remember more clearly but I'm almost positive I had Primal Avatar despite never going into ST. Was it obtainable in another way with Luclin? If not I think there must of been another mob who dropped it outside of ST.

For what its worth I found this:
http://mboards.eqtraders.com/eq/show...l-Avatar/page2

Quote:
To answer others' questions, this scroll is unique. It is the only NO DROP tagged scroll in game, other than those from "sets" of spells which are no drop for all classes (LoY quest spells, PoP vendor spells, Ancients). Back in the late-Velious/early-Luclin era, a lot of complaints were raised about this inequity. It was explained that this scroll was added to Sleeper's Tomb after the initial launch of the zone, in order to appease shaman who felt that the Primal weapons were eliminating their need for the Avatar spell. Its success at accomplishing this goal is debatable. Regardless, becuase it was intended only for shaman who would be taking part in Sleeper's Tomb, it is not droppable ... and, although now woefully outdated, is likely to remain so.
So it would seem I must have gotten the spell after another expansion was released and an alternate method was given. It also would seem that PA was potentially released after the fact rather then on release.

You may be thinking of Feral Avatar. I couldn't find a link with a quick search, but it was a thing. (in a later expansion. perhaps Luclin?) [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

It seems you may be right Shamanredux, it must have been FA that I had and not PA. All I know is I definitely remember being happy to no longer carry those stupid emeralds all the time.

I remember for fact that primal avatar was only an ST drop spell (no drop too). My shaman didnt receive it until PoP (when we did ST for fun / off hours). Ferine Avatar was part of PoP from the spell quest (I believe it was a Glyphed Rune Word reward)

My research (current live research at least) led me to believe that many of the westwastes dragons can drop 60 spells, at a lower % chance than lower level spells. If this is not correct, I can change it.

I would be inclined to think there is a % chance of them dropping from the lower level ones too, with the higher level mobs being more common. Looking at the old alla list of 53-54 dragons most of them don't have spells listed but some of them have had comments of a 60 spell dropping. One example is Glati:
