Level 55 plus spell drops in Skyfire

[mwatt]

According to memory and per the information available on the Web, it is possible to get drops of level 55 or higher in Skyfire. I'm betting guardian wurms will drop such spells, even spells as high as level 60. I have not killed any of these, as it would require serious groupage that I have not yet put together.

There are supposed to be other mobs that can also drop spells higher than level 54, such as the named mobs, mature wurms and bottomless devourers. These mobs can be taken down with small groups or even solo. I have killed some of these and so far no 55 or greater spells have dropped. I have not killed enough of them to go out on a limb and claim that such spells simply are not dropping.

What this post is about is that I was hoping to ask for confirmation on 55 or higher spell drops from any mob in Skyfire - i.e., mob name and spell name. If you have any information about such drops, will you please post it here? I want to make sure that things are working as they should be and not be wasting my time. If nobody can confirm such drops, a bug report may be needed.

Kill the shit that player summons in front of VP, the uber wyverns etc. Also, guardian wurms if they're up glhf.

I've seen Call of the Hero once and 2 of the higher mage pets (either 58 or 59, can't remember which but it's one of the two) out of several dozen AE pulls (which do not include VP mobs). No idea which specific mobs, other then they weren't VP ent/Ancient mobs.

So, they happen, just not very often, especially if you're only killing one at a time.

Guardian Wurms definitely (or should) drop level 60 spells. They were popular targets of shaman trying to score Torpor in the later expansions. Nothing else in Skyfire should drop 59-60 spells though I'm pretty sure.

I can confirm the guardian wurms drop 60 spells.

Great info so far. Thanks and keep it coming. Just to clarify, I am interested not only in 59-60 drops, but also 55-58. Pretty sure I am not the only one.

Bane of Nife etc from the big wyverns in front of VP.

I'm going to use this thread as an opportunity to be a scumbag and let everyone know I'm looking for the following 55+ spells:

55 - Levant
55 - Chill Bones
56 - Servant of Bones
59 - Emissary of Thule

Wow, that is pretty scummy considering I made this post with some of those spells in mind.

But thanks for the bump.

For spells of 55 and below, it might just be worth your time to hang out while a group is doing an AE pull there, and offer some plat for the spells. The ones of 55 and below drop frequently enough that people will just vendor them for about 8pp.
