I just need help getting some information confirmed.
My husband and I have dragon alts that are both on the Breath of Lightning quest. I rarely use this ability but I'll need to finish the quest to become ancient. Regardless, I have been having serious trouble getting a splinter of Energy-Bone to drop.
Now, I've done this quest with two of my alts already and have helped numerous others do this quest so I know it's a rare drop, and I am patient!
The past countless times I've done this, I've hunted mighty skeletons out in the Aughundell Battlefield. I do this because it's always dropped there for me (and others) and I find that I'm less likely to want to toss my keyboard through my screen in frustration at being utterly destroyed every time I attempt to engage a skeleton, the way I do in the Western Deadlands.
Sadly though, after what probably equals at least 12.. 15? Hours of killing the skeletons there (enough to bump me from adv 80 to 83 on skeletons alone), between the two of us, nothing dropped. Well, I seemed to recall that this was an issue that has been worked on since I did the quest last, and so I thought perhaps I'd try the Western Deadlands in case they only drop there now, as the quest indicates. Hours and hours and deathpoints later, nothing.
Then someone told me that the NEW best place to hunt them is the Northern Deadlands. Willing to give it a try, I hunted there for the last two evenings. No drops.
I don't mind being patient, but it's getting really ridiculous. I am hoping that someone can tell me where, for sure, the drop is at least supposed to happen? I'd be less disheartened if I at least know that it's possible to get the drop at one of the given locations.
Thank you for any help you can lend.
