Return of Reckoning

I think that it may be worth mentioning that the champions of Chrace for Destruction faction drop Wanderer/Intruder items at a decent rate. They may not be the best, but some of the harder-to-obtain items, such as BG helms and DOK shoulders as mentioned in the previous post, drop at a fairly reasonable rate.

Lionheart Goldclaws are located at 28k, 22k in Chrace, just east of Tor Achare PQ and DE Chapter 4

Sea Guard Wavespear and Sea Guard Deckblades are located at 9k, 19k on the beach west of Tor Achare and northwest of DE Chapter 4

I remember the lions of chrace, it used to be the best farming place in the game both for destruction and for order, to equip your trial toons, VERY good drops rates, before devs nerfed drops (removed storm courser, all low-lvl shoulders and helmets etc) but as long as many of those items are back... I guess lions are worth a try. Though I doubt it's possible to kill a champion lion alone. These low-lvl beasts used to kill 40 lvl characters back in the days

Ok so... slightly less hazardous list.

Lady weapons (which are bad but look pretty)/str jewels

Choppa shoulders/BG helm/DOK shoulders/cloaks/other jewels/other rares (BQ Helms)
Choppa/DOK/Sorc/WE
Shaman/BO/BG
Zealot
Squig/Magus
Warrior/Mara

Goddamnit I traded a BG helm yesterday. For peanuts. Oh well. Good karma or something...

Oh yeah sry Order but this is obviously Destro only :p

I'll see you there
I know this is supposed to be PVP but I'm actually kinda enjoying this strange wild west prospecting mini-game that's sprung up.

EDIT - went there, found the Goldclaw Champs. They're total pushovers for a shaman. Great income, over 1s looted per kill, plus sellable junk. Got a wanderer drop plus rare invader WE shoulders(!). At rank 7

Do you mean lions as in elfy White Lions or liony lions with manes and tails? I tried farming the 'Lionmarch Hunters' and 'Lionmarch Matrons' but my (admittedly mathematically inadequate) time spent there wasn't as good as IC. Is it only champs?

My real beef with farming locations other than IC is that IC makes you TONS of money even if you don't get anything good, most of the junk drops are sellable. Other places (irontoes, chrace) drop unsellable quest items.

Yes, the lions as animals. The goldmane champion drops only wanderer, but is very easy to kill and drop chance is good, almost 1%, means you have about 50% to get at least something. Spent about 20 minutes farming, got 4 wanderer weapons. Good for making money. Couldn't kill a matron cause it makes 1k damage, enough to kill a light-armor 40lvl, but as far as i remember it drops blue and green jewelry

As of five minutes ago I can attest to the fact that Goldmane Champions (east of Tor Achare) drop rank 7 blue invader, as well as a lot of carrots and wanderers.

Did the matrons get super-buffed or something? I tried them before the recent mob-damage buff and they were... ahem... pussies
But no drops.

EDIT - oh god am I getting confused? GoldCLAW, goldMANE...

Matrones were always super-damagers, proves that devs made mobs more like they were before, after all.

I have a **** useless question! Where the "tome of intruder" can be loot ?

Want to know the same for chalices!

goldmane drops no intruders, only wanderer stuff (

Hang on hang on. I think we're getting our lions crossed! (ohyes been waiting YEARS for that one)

The only 'matrons' I've found are...

Lionmarch Matron
Jewelry:
+8 Dark Elf Str 0.10%
+8 Dark Elf Int 0.12%

Which are a normal mob, low damage, easy to kill and which REFUSE to drop what they are supposed to. Where are these Matrons that do so much damage?

In fact, anyone. Everyone. 0.1 is ten times larger than 0.01, right? So if I have a 0.1% chance of a drop it should drop ten times more than a 0.01%, right?
So how come I've been farming 'Lionmarch Hunters' and 'Lionmarch Matrons' for hours (in which I would have gotten multiple GRs from souls) and gotten nothing? Can I just not math?
