jim_vierling Posted March 17, 2015 Share Posted March 17, 2015 Hello. I was slaying Aquanites as part of a slayer assignment when I was pleasantly surprised with a very nice drop of 20 noted Rune Platebodies. My Ironman account. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Arceus Posted March 17, 2015 Share Posted March 17, 2015 Congrats :). Looks like this particular drop is part of the Rare Drop Table though, rather than a drop specific to the monster. I'll double-check on it and let you know. "Fight for what you believe in, and believe in what you're fighting for."

Arceus Posted March 17, 2015 Share Posted March 17, 2015 Yeah, many stronger monsters have access to a "table" of rare drops in addition to the regular stuff they may drop. When you hit it by chance (it's just luck), you get something in there as a drop, weighted by the relative rarity of rare drop table items (see Wiki link here for more info/a list). This explains a lot of unusual or unexpected drops you might get. For example, 15-25 noted rune platebodies is on the table. So I need to check on something first, but that's what I meant above and in any case, thanks for posting :). "Fight for what you believe in, and believe in what you're fighting for."

essiw Posted March 17, 2015 Share Posted March 17, 2015 To add to what Arceus said, you didn't get this drop before before because the RDT got updated recently and the platebodies got added to it. http://sign.tip.it/1/2/79/260/essiw.png Retired item crew I would like to be credited as essiw at the website update & corrections forum.

When was that update anyway? "Fight for what you believe in, and believe in what you're fighting for."
