Thread: Fine Staff and Quarterstaff form drops

    Default Fine Staff and Quarterstaff form drops

    I know these forms are drops from mobs but what I can't find is which mobs drop them...

    I have checked the wiki and istariareference.com and done some other web searches with no luck.

    Can somebody point me to where I can find what mobs drop those forms?

    Thanks.

    A quick guide for what drops what (in a general sense):

    Tech Comps drop from Animals, Insects, Elementals.
    Undead and Semi-Intelligents can drop formulas and techs and hoardables.
    Aegis-Constructs and Aegis-Animates tend to drop a mixture that includes crystals and hoardables.
    Chests drop a full range.

    The "upper" half of a Tier gets a chance to drop rare items (that includes formulas, techs, crystals) while the "lower" half will most often not drop them. Boss (named) mobs always have a chance of rare items.

    Happy looting

    The tricky part is what teir of mobs?
    An example Amon gave goes a little something like this:
    If you were after a beginner form, it could drop from either upper-T1 mobs (11-20), or upper-T2 mobs (31-40).
    The way it's split is based on the required skill to scribe (which is a bit difficult to know since you don't have the form...)
    Skill ranges for scribing beginner forms ranges from 1 up to about 200 (I think). So anything with a required skill 100 or less would likely be in the upper-T1 range, while beginner forms with a required skill of 100+ would be in the upper-T2 range.
    As for examples of mobs to hunt, ogres and pygmies (warriors and scouts are their new name I think) are typically the best. Semi-intelligent mobs are what you should be looking for, basically anything with a face, 2 arms and 2 legs... (I'm not sure where golems fit into that, though, I suspect they are 'elementals').

    Hope that helps... Happy hunting!
